"Last time on Total Drama Action! Twenty-two teenagers, one engaging host, a dilapidated film lot, and a whole lotta coin! Ka-ching! Oh! And did I mention, a remote controlled monster? I love this show. Some fared better than others and once Owen won the reward to pick the trailers he surprisingly picked the squashed one. Who will be one step closer to the million bucks? Find out now on another thrilling episode of: Total! Drama! Action!"
(After theme song)
The episode begins with the cast lining up for their breakfast at the Craft Services Tent and much to their annoyance, Geoff and Bridgette were holding up the line for Duncan, Gwen, and Trent by making out.
"Keep the line moving lovebirds." Duncan sharply commanded and they obliged by moving out of the way, lips stuck to each other as always.
"More eggs and bacon for me. Keep 'em coming Chef." DJ smiled politely before Chef growled at him. Due to this, DJ decided to back away
"Forgot how hungry I got last week dining on Chef's wrecked schedule." Duncan remarked dryly.
"I know. It'd get to the point where I'd kill for Chef's disgusting food." Gwen said before smiling reassuringly at Chef, "No offense Chef."
"None taken." Chef said lowly but that was clearly a lie since he dumped Gwen's eggs on the floor.
"You can have my toast big mouth." Duncan smirked at the goth who smirked back.
"Judging by that gut, I thought you'd love the extra carbs." Gwen smirked back playfully, though they did not see it, Courtney was glaring furiously at the goth and punk.
Confessional: Courtney
"I have eyes, I know there's something going on with Gwen when it comes to Duncan. She better not think about stealing MY boyfriend." Courtney barked furiously.
Confessional Ends
"You can have my toast Gwen." Trent offered which Gwen greatly appreciated.
"Thanks." Gwen smiled at the musician before taking the toast and heading to her seat, both them eyeing each other longingly while doing so.
The camera pans to show Noah, Eva, and Cody watching this scene from their seats as Noah scoffs at what he witnessed.
"Are they seriously going to treat every little moment as this big romantic rendezvous?" Noah drones in monotone.
"Aw come on Noah. They're just being in love." Cody smiled at the bookworm.
"Doesn't really do us a lot of good, does it?" Noah scoffed.
"What do you mean?" Cody asked curiously with a raised eyebrow.
"Look around you." Noah gestures the rest of the room, Bridgette and Geoff were making out, Owen and Izzy were having an eating contest, Duncan, Gwen, DJ, and Trent were all happily conversing with Courtney sometimes chiming in, Beth, Lindsay, Katie, and Sadie were fawning over Justin and Leshawna and Harold were amicably chatting.
"The two of us don't have a lot of connections in this cast and our social games are not good." Noah explained to the geek.
"What do you mean? Gwen and Trent are my friends." Cody said in shock.
"Well of course, but do you honestly think they'll put you ahead of Leshawna, DJ, or even Duncan?!" Noah asked seriously, causing Cody to nervously glance away.
"Just something to consider." Noah shrugged indifferently.
Confessional: Noah
"I know what you're gonna say." Noah said firmly before getting a gleam in his eyes and speaking in a high-pitched tone, "You're being so mean to Cody. He's done nothing to you."
He then went back to his normal expression and voice, "Chill, I'm not saying his friends aren't his friends but I am trying to get an alliance here and Cody is probably my best option here. I wasn't lying when I said our social game wasn't that good."
"Besides, if I can also get Eva on board, I got a full three person alliance I can utilize to my advantage." Noah then commented with a smirk.
Confessional Ends
"Welcome to day two," Chris said as he entered the tent wearing a director's beret and ascot, "of Total Drama Action!" He clapped a film slate.
"Are you gonna do that every time?" Duncan asked curiously.
"Yes, yes I will." Chris smirked at the delinquent.
"Alright then." Duncan shrugged.
"Today's movie genre," Chris explained. "Aliens! Our unpaid interns have been hard at work figuring out what makes an alien movie successful. Chef?"
The camera cut to Chef who was mixing something in a pot as he explained, "You got three basic rules. Aliens wanna take over the world and start making lots of baby aliens, people fight back, then the military's called in."
He then flung the slop at Owen who got hit in the eye from it to which Chef remembered to ask, "Yo, Chris! Where's my paycheck at?!"
Chris faltered for a moment before smiling unconvincingly, "It's… in the mail."
"Today's challenge?" Chris continued as he held up a map that had two numbered points and a red X, "Find an alien egg and return to home base before Mama Alien finds you. The two fastest get to pick the teams this season."
"Sorry losers, no one knows alien movies like me." Duncan boasted, "The more obscure, the better."
"'I'm gonna blend up those no-good aliens, and have 'em for breakfast'" Gwen mockingly quoted to make a point.
"Dude, alien chunks is my favorite movie." Duncan replied in awe.
"Me too." Gwen said happily, "I've seen it twenty seven times."
"Fifty three." Duncan tops.
"You'll be tough to beat." Gwen remarked with a smile before pulling out a silver necklace with a blender on it, "But I have my good luck charm."
Confessional: Gwen
"I love the alien scene in 'Alien Chunks' where they turn the aliens into fruity blended drinks. I even have the necklace."
Confessional Ends
"I like that movie where the aliens take over the government." Trent tries to pitch into the conversation before imitating an alien… badly, "Take Me. To Your. Leader.'"
"Oh dude, you are so going down." Duncan mocks.
"It was a good movie, right?" Trent asked before his eyes turned to his girlfriend pleadingly, "Gwen?"
"Uh…" Gwen began stammering.
"Hey Chris, do you have a laser shooting robot playing as Mama Alien?" Cody asked with a nervous smile, in an obvious attempt to save his friends from further embarrassment.
"Not quite." Chris smirked before Chef came back out of the kitchen wearing an alien costume.
"You call that slime?" Chris scolds the crew off camera, "Makeup! More slime over here!"
This causes Chef to have slime dropped onto him much to his silent fury, "I hate my life."
"Here are your GPS devices, complete with maps of the film lot. Find the alien eggs, but be careful because today, you're all on Chef's menu!" Chris said before giving GPSes to Noah, Duncan, Justin, and Lindsay while Chef began laughing menacingly.
We then cut to the teens inside a fake spaceship with engine machines as walls and some fog showing up here and there. One thing for sure though, it was definitely a massive maze.
"Hey, follow me! I know aliens, I've been abducted loads of times! There's a tracking device in my neck, see?" Izzy told everyone while pointing at her neck to which Harold looked on in curiosity.
"Does it hurt?" The nerd asked.
"Only when I hiccup." Izzy said before promptly doing so and feeling an electric shock, "Ow."
So she was actually telling the truth…
Once they passed through a door, Leshawna suddenly felt a chill, "Can you feel that? It's like behind that door there's something cold as ice, with almost no soul."
Cut to the camera showing Chris was in the monitor room, "Thanks! Now take this!"
Chris pressed a button that released some fog in the set and made everyone freak out, causing Harold to jump into Leshawna's arms. Harold smiled at this situation while Leshawna looked away with a blush.
Confessional: Leshawna
"I've already told that skinny little tadpole that things between us aren't meant to be! Guess he can't get over the lusciousness that is Leshawna."
Confessional: Harold
"I'm pretty sure Leshawna isn't over me yet. I see the way she looks at me, like she's un-pantsing me with her eyes. Her beautiful brown eyes, like chocolate almonds."
Confessionals End
"How come we're the only dots on this screen?" Heather asked as she looked at her GPS, "Where's Chef?"
"How'd you get in our group?" Justin asked once he noticed her.
"There are no groups yet! Plus, there's only one way we can go." Heather scoffed.
Suddenly a weird wet sounding sucky noise was heard putting them all on-guard.
"What is that?" Cody asked in horror, while Noah turned to stare at Beth.
"Ever since I got my braces off, I don't make that sound anymore!" Beth clarified.
"It must be Chef. You wanna run or do you wanna kick some alien butt?" Duncan smirked towards Gwen and the others.
"Let's kick some alien butt!" Gwen cheered before Courtney coughed into her hand to get her attention to her and Trent.
"Trent… Courtney… any thoughts?" Gwen asked with an awkward smile.
"Yeah, let's… kick some alien butt." Trent said with an equally awkward smile to which Courtney just rolled her eyes but nodded.
"So… who wants to go first?" Harold asked curiously.
"Oho, please. After you." Leshawna offered to Heather who rolled her eyes.
"After you, I insist." Noah offered to Owen and Izzy with a sly smirk.
"Don't worry Izzy. I'll protect you." Owen reassured the wildcard but Izzy then threw Owen above her and onto the ground.
"Um, it's Kaleidoscope, E-Scope for short." Izzy corrected the big guy.
"Yes, sergeant E-Scope sir." Owen saluted fearfully.
"Okay, let's do this." DJ stood bravely before staring fearfully into the camera, "Momma, if you're listening, you can have my limited Raptors Draft cards, they're worth some serious coin."
However, Beth was not having this and began storming past her fellow contestants, "I didn't suffer eight years, saliva, headgear, and the ridicule of my peers so I can hide from life!"
"You go girl!" Leshawna said proudly.
"Watch out alien Chef because here comes Beth!" Beth said bravely before stopping at the entrance to see it was just Bridgette and Geoff making out.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh." Beth smiled in realization before calling out, "It's just Bridgette and Geoff!"
Duncan scoffed as he and the rest of the contestants arrived on the scene, "Oh. Nice. Do you two ever get tired of sucking face?"
"I'm guessing that's a no." Owen cringed.
"Enough messing around, we got alien eggs to find." Gwen said angrily.
Confessional: Gwen
"I wasn't worried about Chef, alien costume or not. I mean, I came in second last season. I know exactly what I'm doing." Gwen smirked confidently.
Confessional Ends
Suddenly a green dot started glowing much to everyone's fear when Trent spoke up, "Good thing we're all lined up here. Waiting for Chef to pick us off one at a time."
"We really need to work on our strategizing." Gwen sighed.
Suddenly the GPSes began making alarm noises much to the horror of everyone.
"Let's get out of here!" Heather said fearfully.
"Which way do we go?" Tyler asked frantically.
"North is nice, but East is least, West is best." Lindsay chimed in giddily.
"Can't argue with that, wouldn't even know how to." Leshawna admits with a raised eyebrow before she, Lindsay, Beth, Justin, Katie, Sadie, Tyler, and Ezekiel all ran downstairs to the left.
We then see Eva run up the stairs to the North and holler out, "Anyone with brains better follow me upstairs!"
Owen, Harold, and Cody all followed Eva due to fear but Izzy, Noah, and Heather followed since they figured sticking with Eva was their best bet. Bridgette and Geoff were too busy making out to notice what was going on.
Meanwhile, Gwen, Duncan, Courtney, Trent, and DJ all looked at the GPS when Gwen spoke up, "Map says the boiler room's East from here."
"Alien eggs are always in the boiler room." Duncan smirked confidently.
"Uh… yeah. East it is." Trent smiled nervously before all of them ran off, but not before Duncan snuck an annoyed glance at Bridgette and Geoff.
We then cut to Eva's group traveling together fearfully before Heather got everyone back on track, "Everyone, snap out of it. If we don't band together, we're gonna lose this challenge. Now who's with me?"
"Uh… it's hard to say. Does being with you imply some sort of alliance?" Owen asked warily.
"Because neither of us like you." Eva crossed her arms in annoyance.
Heather looked offended before smiling as kindly as she could, "Okay, okay. Forget being WITH me, who's willing to walk BESIDE me. In mutual perspective of our goals with no commitment of any kind."
"I'm down with that." Izzy nodded with a thumbs up.
"Me too." Noah smirked smugly.
"Count me in." Cody said happily.
Suddenly, Chef began towering upside down above Cody before he fell down with a thud but he didn't seem to notice but his eyes widened, "Did anyone else hear that?"
Chef then got up and pointed his paintball gun at Cody who cowered fearfully.
"Say hello to eternity." Chef smirked lowly before blasting Cody with paint.
"Cody! Fear not, I shall avenge-" Harold began monologuing before Chef shot him down too.
Eva began charging at Chef before Chef shot Eva in the face, knocking her down causing Owen and Noah to begin screaming before they ran off together.
Chef then began inching closer to the two remaining girls to which Heather shielded herself in front of Izzy, "I am NOT going down without a fight you glorified dung beetle lizard."
"One of us… isn't getting out of here clean." Izzy smirked before whipping out a paintball gun of her own.
"You call that a paintball gun?" Chef asked in a challenging tone before taking out an even bigger paintball gun, "THIS is a paintball gun."
"Ooh fun." Izzy smiled ecstatically before taking out a paintball gun with the same size as Chef's, "I love this game!"
Heather looked on in shock before smiling nervously, "Okay, well I'll just let you two have at it."
She then ran off as Izzy began taunting Chef, "If I can face off in hand to hand combat with a polar bear, I can handle an emotionally withdrawn cook in a Halloween costume."
"Who are you calling a cook?!" Chef asked furiously before he and Izzy engaged in a paintball fight. Both expertly dodging each others' paint but then a paintball knocked the gun right out of Izzy's hands much to her horror before Chef shot her in the chest with a paintball, causing her to fall flat on the floor, much to Chef's fear.
"Oh no, not again." Chef muttered before Izzy smirked and popped from the ground, giddy as ever.
"I thought you were dead." Chef said good naturedly.
"Yeah, I get that a lot." Izzy admits happily.
We then cut to Bridgette and Geoff still making out when Chef towered above them, "I once knew love like that."
He then shot both of the unaware couple with his paintballs.
We then see Owen and Noah running off together before stopping and panting when they felt Chef was gone.
"I think we lost him." Noah began heavily breathing.
"Hypothetical question, how do you win over a redhead who may or may not be seen as crazy by her peers?" Owen asked curiously to the bookworm.
"Just ask her out." Noah rolled his eyes, "She'll probably say y-"
He didn't get to finish as he was immediately shot in the back by Chef's paintball gun.
"NOAH!" Owen cried out before he too was shot by a paintball.
"Two down and fourteen to go." Chef chuckled evilly.
We then cut to Gwen's group heading to the boiler room, once they all made it in, they then saw that the alien eggs were inside and in the middle of the room.
Meanwhile Heather was all alone, hoping to find a way to the alien eggs but unfortunately, she was face to face with Chef who made quick work of shooting her with his paintball gun, unfortunately for Heather, her wig had also fallen off her head and was now sliding through the metal floor. Heather tried to catch her wig before it was too late but unfortunately for her, it slid through.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Heather cried out in horror before noticing the camera, "Don't look at me."
The group who took the West side were not so lucky as they were hopelessly lost as they came face to face with an empty room.
"Um... how did we get here?" Lindsay asked as she examined her GPS device.
"Ah-heh," Justin began sarcastically. "If we knew, we wouldn't be lost."
"You're so smart Justin." Lindsay said happily.
"And gorgeous." Beth smiled wistfully.
That encouraged Katie and Sadie to start saying incoherent praises about Justin, to which Tyler was unamused by.
Confessional: Tyler
"I just don't understand. Me and Lindsay are pretty tight Yo." Tyler sighed sadly, "But when Justin comes by, she starts swooning all over him. I have to make her see me."
Confessional Ends
A creaking immediately caught the attention of all of them. They watched in shock as a door suddenly slammed down from behind them which trapped them in a contained space with no chance of escape.
"I hate to be the bearer of big bad alien news, but I think this may be a trap," Leshawna said fearfully.
Instinctively, Beth, Katie, and Sadie cling to Justin and Lindsay clinged to Tyler much to his joy.
Back with Chef, he was busy plugging up the hose to an open faucet before mumbling, "We gotta hire an effects crew."
Once it was tightly secured, he turned on a nozzle and let the paint flow upwards to which sprayed everyone inside the containment room much to all of their disgust.
"Gross!" Beth cried out.
"Grodie." Lindsay whined.
However, Justin had a different reaction and began moaning at how good the slime felt, "Feels so good."
"Looks even better." Katie and Sadie spoke in unison before chattering once again, causing Justin to glare at them.
After that, we see Gwen, Trent, Duncan, Courtney, and DJ once again, once they took a look to see if there was no danger, before heading to the furnace room to see the alien eggs.
"Wow, those things look like real eggs alright." Trent commented with a whistle.
"Yeah! We won!" DJ cheered.
"Uh, hello? No we haven't. We still need to take these to home base." Courtney commented in annoyance.
Suddenly the GPSes began beeping at a rapid pace much to the fear of all five contestants.
"Quick," Gwen stated. "Lower me down."
Trent was willing to do just that and immediately lowered Gwen next to the alien eggs, she grabbed one, but it broke apart much to her chagrin, "Ever heard of plastic props?!"
Gwen then grabbed another egg and was hoisted back up, and after that, Trent, Duncan, Courtney, and DJ had grabbed their eggs just in time for Chef to run in. Before DJ could react, he was shot in the back by a paintball allowing the other four to run off before Chef could catch them too.
"Save yourselves!" DJ cried out dramatically to which they ended up doing and leaving the room with Chef chasing them, much to DJ's annoyance, since he didn't actually want them to leave.
Duncan, Courtney, Gwen, and Trent all pushed their way outside to the western set when Chris' voice was suddenly heard, "Attention civilians, the military is here to protect you now. Unfortunately, we can't let you leave with any alien eggs."
"But we're literally supposed to take the eggs, that's what you said!" Courtney shrieked furiously.
"Right! That is what I said!" Chris laughed mockingly before releasing paint bombs, causing the four of them and Chef to jump out of the way, before the paint bombs inevitably exploded.
Chris then lowered the window down and viewed the scenery below, "Hahahahahahahaha. Glad I don't have to clean that up."
Back at the set, Courtney and Duncan both got up with green paint all over them while Gwen and Trent got up with eggs in hand.
"Does this mean we're out?" Duncan asked in annoyance.
"Too bad, so sad. More money for me." Gwen smirked mockingly, mostly to Duncan.
"Oho, down for the count." Duncan remarked playfully which caused Courtney to glare even harder.
Confessional: Courtney
"Gwen. Better. Watch it." Courtney warned threateningly.
Confessional Ends
Still drenched in paint, the twenty eliminated contestants waited by the trailers until Gwen and Trent made it to the set.
"We have our two winners!" Chris announced joyfully, "Our only two winners! The rest of you really stink,"
Chris earned glares from the rest of the cast for this before he continued, "As our winners, Gwen and Trent now hold the power to pick anybody they want for their teams. Which means… they'll be competing against each other this season."
The couple turned from happy to horrified once they heard this, "Aw dude! No!" Trent cried out in horror.
"Nyahaha. Bet you didn't see that coming, tonight; we will be voting off two castmates for this season," Chris began eliciting a gasp from the contestants, "Yep, we're eliminating two players today. I'm liking the idea of that to be honest. Keeps things rolling. Meet me at the Gilded Chris ceremony at sunset."
We then cut to Harold walking around the guys' trailer nervously as Cody, Noah, and Owen watch him.
"Oh crap oh crap oh crap. I'm so gonna get booted." Harold said fearfully.
"What makes you say that?" Cody asked curiously.
"Courtney's still mad at me over the whole vote rigging thing and no doubt Duncan's got his posse voting for me too. I'm so screwed." Harold gulped.
"Calm down Dorkules, I think I know how we can turn this around, but you two have to vote with me tonight." Noah told his fellow nerds.
"No problem." Cody nodded, remembering his conversation with Noah from earlier.
Meanwhile, Lindsay and Beth had made it to the Craft Services Tent where Tyler had been waiting for them.
"Hey Lindsay and Beth," Tyler waved happily and later politely once he saw Beth, "How've you been?"
"Tyler!" Lindsay squeed before embracing the jock, "Where have you been? It's been soooooooo long since I've seen you."
"Uh… we've been in the same season for two episodes now." Tyler reminded the blonde.
"To be fair, you didn't exactly interact much." Beth defended with an awkward smile.
"Hey guys." Ezekiel said as he walked in the room with Justin by his side.
"Ezekiel? Justin? What are you guys doing here?" Beth asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Here to talk about the vote of course. I feel I know exactly who we should eliminate." Justin explained with a smirk.
After that, we cut to the Gilded Chris ceremony where all twenty two castmates were sitting on bleachers.
"Under your seats you will find voting tablets. Scroll down your options and press on the contestant who you want to vote off." Chris said happily as we then see Ezekiel try to peek at Noah's voting tablet before he hid it from him, "Oh, and no peeking or else it's instant disqualification."
Once Chris was finished, the contestants immediately went to vote who they wanted to have eliminated and once the votes were cast, Chef showed up wearing a pink dress, much to everyone's amusement, "If you get a Gilded Chris, that means you're safe. And the Gilded Chrises go to… Trent, Gwen, Leshawna, Duncan, Courtney, Izzy, Lindsay, Beth, DJ, Owen, Cody, Noah, Tyler, Eva, and surprisingly Ezekiel with no votes against them."
"Hey!" Ezekiel cried out in offense before he caught his Gilded Chris while Izzy glared at her name being seen as Izzy and not E-Scope.
Spotlights are then put on the final seven contestants: Bridgette, Geoff, Harold, Heather, Justin, Katie, and Sadie.
"The seven of you all have votes against you but safe with one vote is…. Justin." Chris said happily.
Justin sighed in relief before catching his Gilded Chris.
"With two votes, Harold is also safe."
Harold smiled as he caught his Gilded Chris before he caught Courtney and Duncan glaring at him.
"Three of you got three votes and two of you have five votes, the losers today are…" Chris smirked menacingly as Katie and Sadie embraced each other tightly, Bridgette and Geoff held each others' hand in reassurance and Heather glared hatefully at the last Gilded Chrises.
"Katie and Sadie!"
Geoff began cheering ecstatically before realizing the shocked looks on Katie and Sadie's faces.
"Oops, my bad dudes." Geoff chuckled nervously before catching one of the last Gilded Chrises, as did Bridgette and Heather.
"What? But we didn't do anything wrong." Katie said in shock.
"Not yet." Justin muttered to himself.
Confessional: Justin
"Yeah, I might have mentioned to a few people that Katie and Sadie are super codependent in this game and would be a hindrance in future challenges." Justin explained with a smirk before it formed into a grimace, "Also, their clinging was starting to get very annoying."
Confessional: Lindsay
"Two words, Katie and Sadie." Lindsay said bluntly.
Confessional: DJ
"At least they'll have each other." DJ said in reassurance.
Confessionals End
Katie and Sadie shrugged with smiles before squealing, "Eee! We're still together!"
"OMG I was so worried about being alone without you." Sadie embraced Katie.
"So was I." Katie hugged her friend back.
Katie and Sadie then ran into the Lame-o-sine, seemingly not even caring that they got eliminated first.
"Who will Gwen and Trent pick for their teams, will Izzy answer to her own name? Find out next episode of Total! Drama! Action!"
Votes:
Sadie: DJ, Ezekiel, Heather, Owen, Tyler
Katie: Beth, Bridgette, Geoff, Justin, Lindsay
Geoff: Cody, Harold, Noah
Bridgette: Eva, Katie, Sadie
Heather: Gwen, Leshawna, Trent
Harold: Courtney, Duncan
Justin: Izzy
Author's Note: Katie and Sadie were too codependent for me to write separately so the best solution was to eliminate them both and keep the interesting characters in. So rest easy Gidgette fans, they're still in the game.
I removed the whole Gwent necklace scene because it didn't logically make sense since Gwen and Trent's eggs should've cracked if they didn't have them. Also, surprise surprise, I plan to break them up anyway.
22nd/21st: Katie/Sadie
