A/N:Be ready for some things to blow up in certain character's faces.
With respect to the reviewers:
Numbah24Insane: I'm not intending to write beyond World Tour. I'm just not interested in writing the shorter seasons.
Crash X Fusion: Yeah Gwen's in a difficult spot right now. Thanks for liking the packages from home. I always thought they should have had more relevance in canon.
Phillip Clark: Nah. Crimson's probably chill with it.
The recap begins with the usual distance shot of the film lot. "Last time on Total Drama Action." Sammy and Alejandro are shown getting their packages and Sammy reading Alejandro's note from Jose. Then the five contestants in the previous episode are shown floating in the fake shuttle. "Packages from the outside world reminded Sammy and Alejandro of their turbulent home lives, as well as caused Sammy to find out about one of Alejandro's biggest issues.
The five contestants in the previous episode are shown floating in the fake shuttle.
Then Alejandro and Sammy are shown fighting. "The cast got a taste of zero gravity conditions, but all was not well in the universe, as when Sammy asked about Jose, Alejandro didn't take it well."
Gwen is shown winning the challenge, then Alejandro and Sammy are shown embracing, Noah and Sammy are shown talking things out, then Noah is shown taking the walk of shame. Gwen won the challenge but ended up covered in vomit, Alejandro won a sympathetic ear but lost his secrecy, and Noah lost Sammy's vote but won a one way trip back to the outside world."
Alejandro and Sammy are shown embracing again, Topher is shown smirking at the camera. "Will Sammy and Alejandro's friendship last? What will Topher do next?" Chris is shown at the trailers to end the recap. "All this and more on today's out of this world episode of Total. Drama. Action!"
(intro)
{A standing light pops up on a set with skyscrapers in the background. A hanging light swoops in front of a set with houses in the background, then a camera pops out of a sewer with a rat on it, and another camera pops out of a hole in a tree scaring the raccoon inside. A masculine hand raises up a clapboard and sets it off.}
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;
{The camera's point of view shows a film lot with the two trailers, city background, water tower, and fake hill. Chris drives by in a golf cart, and the camera flies through to the warehouses as crew members push a couple backdrops through, follows by the costume rack. )
You guys are on my mind!
{The camera goes up the fake hill and down into a small pool where Jo is swimming, a shark is behind her. Jo notices it and turns around to punch it in the nose.)
Ya asked me what I wanted to be,
And now I think the answer is plain to see!
(The camera moves out of the water to show Scott on a surfboard held up by machinery. He desperately tries to dodge several seagulls being shot at him. One finally hits him and he falls over.)
I wanna be...famous!
(The camera moves left to show Duncan as the one shooting the gulls from a gull cannon with Gwen right beside, laughing along with him. Duncan turns and Gwen looks at her feet, rubbing her left arm nervously. The camera moves on to show the sastchwawanakwa in a pink dress, matching boa, and straw hat. The door slides open and the camera goes through)
I wanna live close to the sun!
(A beach set is shown with Alejandro and Amber lounging on a beach chair together, a shark sits in a beach chair to either side of them wearing sunglasses.)
Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!
(Topher is shown in the make-up confessional having it applied. A hand sprays something in his eye accidentally)
Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;
(Trent and Amy are standing on rock pillars with padded poles. Amy hits Trent several times before he hits her back sending some of her hair down.)
I'll get there one day.
(The hair lands in a pot of sludge Chef is cooking. He shrugs and turns to Sammy who looks nervous but determinedly back at him.)
'Cause I wanna be...famous!
(Harold and Ellody are shown standing in front of a set of screens in the security room. Harold presses a random button and causes an explosion. )
(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(We focus in on one screen where a grizzly bear is growling towards Ella. The princess wannabe smiles at him sweetly, the bear smiles back and the two dance. )
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(They dance their way past the lame-o-sine and the back window lowers to show Noah and Crimson inside. The camera continues through the window as camera flashes go off. Chris is shown standing at a podium in a powder blue tux. He opens an envelope.)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(The scene moves out to show Chef is in a sparkly hot pink dress and matching Chef's hat, along with sliver earrings and necklace. Chris looks a little weirded out. The camera moves back through a large screen then pans down to Geoff and Kitty sitting on a couch about to make out.)
*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *
(They notice the camera and decide not to kiss, the scene moves back to show a small studio with two couches to either side of the one the couple is sitting at. The rest of the cast in sitting on them as the large screen above flashes to the Total Drama action logo. )
(end of intro)
The sun is shown cresting over the horizon before the focus shifted to the boy's trailer. Inside Alejandro is brushing his hair out in front of the mirror, humming. Topher groaned and got down off his bed to join him. "Dude, what's with the humming?"
"Am I humming? I hadn't noticed." Alejandro remarked.
"You are, in fact I haven't seen you in such a good mood since…" Topher trailed.
"Since Amber left?" Alejandro filled in. "I've found a new source of comfort. Sammy and I had a long chat last night, and the whole thing was extremely cathartic. I got so much off my chest." The Spaniard returned to brushing his hair.
"You didn't stay up too late, did you?" Topher asked. "Because unless we're doing coma movies next you need your wits about you."
"Relax amigo, I got plenty of sleep." The Spaniard replied before absentmindedly returning to humming.
Topher frowned.
(Confessional)
Topher: Ever since I got rid of Amber, Alejandro has gotten closer and closer to his villainous high point. Now that Sammy's connected with him on some level that may start to fade. I can't allow that to happen. So I guess I'll try to sabotage Sammy. It'll be great for ratings!
Static
In the girls trailer Sammy and Gwen in their beds. "So you and Alejandro connected last night?" Gwen asked.
"Yes, it was so nice. I finally understand that connection I've been feeling with him this whole season." Sammy smiled.
"I don't see how you could have a connection." Gwen admitted.
"I can't tell you what it is, it's personal you see." Sammy explained.
"Well, I'm gonna try to get some sleep.' Gwen turned over.
Chris came in the trailer with a trumpet startling both girls. "Wake up sleepyheads! Breakfast is served, along with today's movie challenge. "You've got ten minutes to get your sorry butts down there."
Gwen sighed. "At least I haven't gone back to sleep yet. Still, what a wake up call." She jumped to the floor. "Come on, let's get dressed and see if Chef made anything edible."
/
The mess hall tent is shown before the focus shifted inside to show Chef ladling scrambled eggs on to Sammy's tray. "These scrambled eggs look pretty good." Sammy smiled.
Chef began to laugh. "Scrambled eggs!" He continued to laugh until he fell to the floor. Sammy gave her eggs a concerned look.
Sammy walked to the table and sat down with Gwen. "Listen Sammy, we gotta talk strategy. I know you don't want to betray your alliance, but if you and Alejandro are getting as close as you think, Topher is going to try and turn him against you. He voted out Amber, remember?"
Sammy sighed. "I do."
(Confessionals)
Sammy: You know, whenever Amy would hog the TV and watch shows like this one, I always wondered why people didn't just stick with their alliance to the end. Now that I'm here in an alliance I'm starting to understand it's not as simple as I thought. Especially when one of your alliance members is untrustworthy.
Static
Topher walked in the mess hall and got his breakfast. "Scrambled eggs, nice one chef."
The cook, who had yet to get off the floor, started to laugh again. Topher ignored it.
Alejandro got his eggs and joined Sammy at the table. "Good morning ladies. Excited to be in the final four?"
"Oh my goodness yes! After last season making it this far feels so good, and if I somehow reached the finale I'd beat Amy's ranking last season." Sammy smiled.
"You already have in my humble opinion. After all, Amy was brought back at the merge last season, whereas you have remained in the competition the entire time." Alejandro said.
"That's true! I already beat Amy!" the cheerleader beamed.
"Still, it wouldn't hurt to get further, just so you can crush her ranking even further." Alejandro chuckled.
"I'll do my best!" Sammy cheered.
Topher joined them. "So what do you think today's challenge will be?"
"Why don't you ask me?" Chris said as the focus shifted to him, he had a blue parrot on his shoulder.
"So what's with the sky rat?" Gwen asked.
"That's my new BFFF. Best flying friend forever. That brings us to today's movie genre. The animal buddy flick!" Chris announced. The four contestants didn't look impressed.
(Confessional)
Chris: You try coming up with twenty-six movie genres! It was either, animal buddy, or guy in a coma movie.
Static
"The hallmark of any good Animal Buddy flick is the human and animal bonding." Chris began. "First the human and the animal start out as enemies, then through many misadventures animal and human grow to care about each other and become fast friends." The parrot nuzzled Chris, who moved a finger under his beak to pet it's feathers. The parrot bit his finger and laughed. "You guys just hang tight for a second." Chris walked off screen and the sounds of squawking are heard as several different colored feathers floated on screen.
Chris returned with feathers on his head and shoulders and no parrot to be seen. "So where were we?" He asked as he brushed a few off his shoulder. "Right. The first animal buddy movie challenge will be to pick an animal and teach it to be just like you. That shouldn't be too hard, since you're all animals." Chris paused with a smile waiting for laughter. He received none. "The cast member whose animal resembles them most at the end wins the challenge."
(Confessional)
Alejandro: I have always been gifted with animals. They adore me, sometimes a bit too much even.
Static
The contestants are now outside. "Alright cast," Chris began. "Time to meet your future BFFFFFs." The focus moved out to show Chris and Chef had something under a large orange tarp between them. The snickered at his own joke as he continued. "Best Furry Feathered, or finned friends forever!" Next to him Chef rolled his eyes. Then pulled the orange tarp off with a flourish.
The contestants gasped at what was in the cages in front of them. In one cage was a large purple snake with green eyes, it hissed. In another cage is a bear that roared. A chameleon unfurled its tongue. Finally, a raccoon with bushy upturned fur on top of its head didn't react too much, merely scratching itself and giving everyone a judgmental look.
"Pick an animal and get training. You have three hours." Chris said.
"Dibs on the chameleon!" Gwen said as she ran to the cage.
(confessional)
Gwen: I love lizards. I have two of them at home, so I already know how to train one.
Static
"I call the raccoon." Topher said, approaching its cage. "You seem quite tame compared to the rest of them."
The raccoon sniffed and ignored him.
Sammy was shaking. Alejandro turned to her. "Both animals are dangerous, but the snake is quite possibly venomous. So I will take it." He approached the Snake's tank. "Well my reptilian companion it seems you will be accompanying me this challenge."
Sammy turned to the bear. "So uh, I guess we're buddies?" Sammy gulped.
/
Gwen is cooing at the Chameleon. "Come on, I know you can do it. Black and teal stripes to match my whole aesthetic." The Chameleon turned brown and green stripes. "Okay, that's closer."
A little ways away Topher was talking with his raccoon. "Come on, I know you can pose like me." Topher said, striking a dramatic pose. The raccoon merely sniffed and ignored him. Topher sighed and looked off screen.
The focus shifted over to Sammy, who was talking to the still caged bear. "Okay, so if i let you out, do you promise not to hurt me?" The bear nodded. "Alright." As Sammy opened the door she kept talking. "You know its gotta suck to be stuck in such a small cage. Chris should have at least given you a bigger one." The bear growled a bit at Chris' name. "I know right, he can be so mean. Well we'll show him when we win this challenge!" The Bear roared. "Is that a good roar or a bad one?"
The focus moved back to Topher. He turned to his Raccoon. "Look you clearly think all this is beneath you, and I totally agree. Still do you want to lose to that beast over there?" He asked, pointing at the bear. The raccoon shook his head. "Then what do you think of helping me sabotage their performance?" The raccoon almost seemed to smirk.
(confessional)
Topher: Honestly that raccoon doesn't seem like it wants to listen to me. Still, if I can get it to help me sabotage Sammy, it can be as independent as it wants.
Static
/
Alejandro is having no trouble with his snake The reptile is holding a maraca and swaying. "Truly you are a remarkable specimen with those green eyes and purple scales. Why I daresay your beauty rivals my own." The snake rubbed its head against him. Now, shall we work on your charm? Not that you don't have plenty already." The snake hissed happily.
(confessional)
Alejandro: To be honest I would have preferred to teach it a more elegant instrument, but this is best we can do considering the snake has no limbs.
Static
/
"Okay, let's try this again. Black and teal." Gwen instructed. The chameleon turned black and white striped. "Okay, that's one color correct. Try it again." The chameleon turned black and blue. "Close, but not quite." The Chameleon turned black and green. "It's okay I totally get it. Teal is right between blue and green. I know you can get this."
The focus shifted to Sammy who was holding two red pom poms while the bear held two of his own. "Okay, let's do this." Sammy began to shape her body into letters. "B-E-A-R you and I will make it far!" She began to move her hands like claws. "Bear bestie! Oh yeah Bear Bestie!"
The bear was struggling, but that became worse when Topher's raccoon climbed up the bear's back and put dark sunglasses over its eyes. The point of view switched to the bear's; everything was dark and hard to see. "B-E-A-R you and I will make it far! Bear bestie! Oh yeah Bear Bestie!" Sammy frowned. "Are you getting any of this?"
The point of view returned to normal and the bear shrugged. "When did you get those sunglasses?" The bear reached up and took them off. "Can you see better now?" The bear nodded.
"Let's try this again. B-E-A-R you and I will make it-'' Topher's raccoon ran and snatched one of the pom poms out of Sammy's hands. "Hey! I need that!" She cried running after the raccoon.
(confessional)
Sammy: Is it just me or was that raccoon laughing at me?
Static
The raccoon returned to Topher with the pom pom. The blonde smirked and tossed it into some nearby bushes. Sammy arrived. "Topher? Your raccoon just stole my Pom Pom. Have you seen it?"
"No, he must have dropped it somewhere. I'm sure you'll find it." The blonde smiled.
Sammy sighed and walked off. Topher turned to the raccoon. "You're a natural at this huh?"
/
A distance shot of the film lot is briefly shown before a flash transition takes us to Chris and Chef behind a judge's table draped in a purple cloth and long blue ribbon, hung in a waving pattern . "Alright cast, time to judge the animal buddies." The host said.
Sammy looked exhausted. "I finally found my pom pom . It was in the bushes like right next to where you were training!" The cheerleader told Topher.
"Oh, sorry Sammy. If I'd known I'd have given it back." The blonde lied.
"Sammy, you're first." Chris said.
Sammy sighed and approached with her bear. "So, we've been working on this," The cheerleader rubbed the back of her head sheepishly with the bear doing the same. "But Uh, I'm not sure how it'll go '' She took a breath and began her cheer. "B-E-A-R you and I will make it far! Bear best-" At that moment Sammy tripped over the raccoon's tail, luckily for her the bear happened to trip at this moment too. They both groaned.
Chris and Chef looked at each other. "That's a nine!" The host declared as both he and Chef held up their cards.
/
"Alright raccoon, let's see your best Topher impression." Chris said. The raccoon ran its hand through the fur on its head as Topher was fixing his own hair. The two Judges didn't look impressed. They held up a six. "What?! We haven't started yet! You gave Sammy and her bear a nine for doing the same thing!" As Topher complained the raccoon chittered, making the same hand movements.
"Sorry but we already scored you. Next." Chris said. Gwen stepped forward with her chameleon the goth pointed at it and it changed to a pattern of teal and black stripes. The judges clapped and held up an eight." Alejandro, you're next."
Alejandro stepped forward with his snake. Both had a maraca in their grasp and they began to dance and shake them. Chris and Chef looked at each other. "Impressive, but we were looking for an impression of you. Yes, you are both doing the same thing, but it comes off like an act more than something you'd do naturally. So..." They both held up sevens.
"This is outrageous! Gwen got an eight and her animal didn't even act like her!" Alejandro protested.
"True, but the chameleon changing to match her hair had something to do with her as a person." Chris pointed out.
"But-" Alejandro said.
"I've given my judgment, and you will not change it. " Chris smirked. "Points have been tallied and the winner of the first challenge is Sammy!"
"Yeah! I knew we could do it!" The cheerleader said.
"We'll be right back." Chris said with a wink.
/
The bus that had initially taken everyone to the film lot has stopped in the middle of the forest. Chris stepped out of the bus. "Here we are gang, don't you just love field trips?"
Sammy stepped off the bus. "The woods? Again?"
The remaining three contestants stepped off the bus. "Your next challenge is to find your way back to the film lot, a ten mile hike through these woods. Using only your animal buddies to guide you." The four contestants looked at their animal buddies. The bear and Raccoon shrugged. "But be careful, several vicious and life threatening traps have been set up along the way."
"I'm gonna guess you set them up." Gwen deadpanned.
"Smart girl." Chris smirked. "First one there gets invincibility. Sammy gets to shave thirty minutes off her final time for winning the first challenge."
Topher looked annoyed.
(Confessional)
Topher: Oh come on! I've been trying to sabotage her and she gets an advantage! (He sighed and turned to the raccoon sitting on the counter.) I guess we'll have to try even harder to sabotage her. (They both smirk.)
Static
"See you all back at the film lot," Chris said as he moved to get back on the bus. "And good luck." With that the bus doors closed behind the host and the vehicle drove away.
Three of the four contestants went their separate ways. Topher and his raccoon waited a bit, before moving after Sammy.
/
Gwen was walking through the forest with her chameleon. "I'm guessing you aren't from around here?" She asked. The Chameleon stuck its tongue out. "Yeah, okay guess it's up to me. What did I learn about being in the wilderness from those stupid girl scouts mom made me go to?"
/
Sammy is walking with her bear. "So, any idea how to get back to the film lot?" The bear sniffed. "Can you smell your way there?" The Cheerleader followed the bear. The focus shifted forward to show they were headed for a trip wire. "Stop!" Sammy told the bear just before it got set off. "See that? It must be one of the traps Chris was talking about. Good thing we spotted it." That was when, despite the two not getting close enough to set it off, the trap went off. A small catapult in some nearby bushes sent a rock right into Sammy's stomach. She groaned. "Well that was unlucky." and fell over.
As the bear looked at her in concern the focus shifted to a bush directly across from the one with the catapult. Inside is Topher and the raccoon, with one of the raccoons claws out. "Nice job cutting that tripwire." Topher offered a high five but the raccoon just gave him a dead stare. "Fine, I didn't want to anyway." The blonde huffed.
(Confessional)
Topher: That raccoon has no interest in making friends.
Static
/
Alejandro is walking along a river bank, his snake around his neck like a scarf. "This challenge is hardly as difficult as Chris thinks. So long as we follow the river we will eventually make it back to civilization, from which point we can easily find the film lot." The snake nuzzled his head. "I am lucky to have a companion as loyal as you, serpiente. I don't need to worry about you wandering off. That said, help me keep an eye out for traps, I imagine Chris has set a few along the river." The snake nodded.
/
"Okay, so moss grows on the north side of trees? Or is that a myth?" Gwen frowned as she walked among the trees. "Of course even if it is true, none of these trees have moss, and I don't know what direction the film lot is in anyway. So knowing which direction is north won't do us any good." The Chameleon stuck its tongue out. "Don't worry buddy I know this isn't your fault. I wouldn't expect you to know where to go." That was when Gwen walked over a pile of leaves which quickly fell away into a pit trap. "Shit, I forgot about the traps."
/
Sammy and her bear are walking through the forest. The bear keeps sniffing. Then it points in a direction. "You think the lot's that way? Well it's worth a shot." The two of them headed in the direction the bear had chosen. "I wonder how many traps Chris set up?" The bear shrugged. "Hopefully, we don't end up in another-" That was when another rock nearly hit her. Sammy and the bear stepped back, right into a net trap, causing both to be stuck in a tree. "Where'd that rock come from?!"
The focus shifted behind a nearby tree where Topher and the raccoon stand, a rock in each of their hands. "Looks like we only needed one, nice. Well she should be stuck in there for a while, so I say we make our way to the film lot. Do you know the way?"
The raccoon walked off. "Wait for me!' The blonde said.
(Confessional)
Topher: Look, do I know the raccoon is right? No, but it's been cooperative enough. Besides, it's clearly intelligent, and it probably knows where we are better than I do.
Static
/
Alejandro and his snake are still making their way along the river, the snake pointed ahead with it's tail. A trip wire is in front of them. "You're right, that is a tripwire. Good that you saw it serpiente. We'll have to walk around it." as Alejandro took a few steps right to walk past the trip wire his foot hits right into a peg connected to a rope, which made a huge log swing out of one the trees, Alejandro barely managed to roll under it.
"I guess the other wire was a red herring." Alejandro noted. The snake hissed. angrily. "Shh, I am sorry to jostle you, but I had to otherwise we'd have been hit by that trap." The snake hissed again. "No I am not blaming you, I would never think to fault an intelligent creature such as yourself." The snake nuzzled his face again. "Glad to see we have an understanding.
/
Topher and his raccoon have made it to a small dirt path. "You really think its that easy?" The racoon chittered at him. "I mean it is Chris we're talking about, he doesn't usually go with the easy solution. Unless...he knows we'll over think it and thus avoid using the path even if we come across it! That's brilliant and just the kind of stunt Chris would pull!" Topher attempted to high five the raccoon again. It ignored him and started down the path. Topher sighed. "Whatever, let's just go."
/
In the pit Gwen is brainstorming. "Okay, I think I have an idea." She began to walk around the floor of the pit, picking up sticks. "If I can find some sticks sturdy enough to hold our weight I can stick them in the wall of the pit and climb up them like a staircase." The chameleon stuck its tongue out and grabbed a stick. "Thanks for the help." A flash transition later and Gwen has done as she said. "Okay, here's hoping these sticks hold." She cautiously took a step on to one. It groaned but it didn't break. "I just have to be careful." She placed her foot on the next stick and slowly but surely climbed out of the pit. "Yes! We're back in it! I say we just run in a random direction and hope it takes us somewhere." The Chameleon climbed onto her head. "Hang on tight! We're gonna try to brute force our way to the solution!" Gwen took off running.
/
Sammy and her bear are in the net trap. "How are we gonna make it out of here now?" Sammy asked. The bear put a paw on her shoulder comfortingly. "Thanks, I just wish I was better at this." She looked at the paw on her shoulder. "Wait, you have claws right?" The bear nodded and unsheathed them. "You can use them to break us out of the net!" The bear smirked and began to claw at the bottom of the net, not much later it tore open sending the two to the ground. "We did it, and I bet we can find our way out of here too!" The bear sniffed and pointed in a direction again. "Okay, I trust you!"
/
The sun is shown in the sky, then the focus shifts down to the trailers, where Chris stands. "Topher and his raccoon, nice one. You're the first team to arrive.
(Confessional)
Topher: Yes! I made it here before Sammy! Now I just have to hope she takes more than thirty minutes to get here.
Static
"So how long before the rest get back, you think?" Topher asked.
"I don't know, a couple days?" The host randomly guessed. A flash later and Chris looked bored. He brightened shortly after that. "Finally! Topher and I have been waiting forty minutes!"
Alejandro joined the two. "Topher, I'm surprised you got here first."
"Well you know I just had a great bond with my partner. Right buddy?" The blonde prompted. The raccoon ignored him and scratched its head.
"Right." Alejandro smirked.
"Wow! Looks like brute forcing your way out of the forest works!" Gwen said as she arrived with her chameleon. "Is Sammy back yet?"
The cheerleader arrived just after that. "Oh my goodness we did it!" She cheered, hugging the bear.
"Welcome back cast, you all did well, but even with Sammy's thirty minute advantage, Topher won the challenge. Which means invincibility. Topher gets a free pass into the final three!" Chris said. "The question is, who will join him in the final three, and who will be the next to leave? There's only one place to find out! At the most exciting, gilded Chris ceremony ever!"
/
Sammy and Alejandro are sitting at the bench between trailers. "Do we have to vote for Gwen tonight?" Sammy sighed.
"It's either her or one of us." Alejandro pointed out.
"I know, I just wish I knew why I had such bad luck today." The cheerleader sighed.
"Bad luck?" The Spaniard asked.
"Yeah, I was practicing with my bear when Topher's raccoon stole one of my pom poms. Then I tripped over its tail during the performance, a trip wire went off on me even though I didn't set it off, so a rock hit me in the gut." She gestured to her gut where a bruise was beginning to form. " Later a rock nearly hit me out of nowhere and I stepped back into a net trap." Sammy explained.
"Hmm, once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, but three or more times is a pattern. You say Topher's raccoon stole one of your pom poms?" Alejandro asked. Sammy nodded. "I think I know what's going on." The Spaniard walked off.
Gwen joined Sammy on the bench. "Well I guess I'm getting eliminated tonight. It's okay, fourth place is pretty high." She said, " So what happened? Alejandro looked furious."
"Yeah, I'm not sure what that's about." Sammy admitted.
(confessional)
Alejandro: ( Holding the princess Amber doll.) So, that's what his game is? Chica, he has clearly learned nothing from your elimination. If he wasn't immune, I'd kick him off the game myself.
Static
Topher is in the boy's trailer brushing his hair when the door bursts in. "Oh hey Alejandro."
"Don't you speak with me in such a friendly tone." The Spaniard hissed. "First you take out my girlfriend, then you sabotage your own alliance?"
"I don't know what you're-" A hand slammed into the wall next to Topher.
"Sammy told me about the 'bad luck' she's been having today. You know just as well as I do, it wasn't bad luck." Alejandro said. He turned. "You can consider our alliance severed."
(confessional)
Topher: Who cares? I have immunity. No one can touch me tonight.
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 off in the background.
Chris stood at his podium in his powder blue suit. "This is a big one cast. Topher's safe from elimination, which means the rest of you are fair game. So sharpen your claws and cast those votes, someone is going home for the last time."
Each cast member is shown in turn as they vote.
"I'm sorry." Sammy said. Her portrait appeared in the upper left corner.
"Well, it's been a fun ride." Gwen sighed. Her portrait was placed next to Sammy's
.
"You are the only choice." Alejandro decided. His portrait went in the lower left corner.
Topher said nothing and just voted, a smug smirk on his face as he filled the final corner
Chris' face appeared in a square at the center of all others "The gilded Chris goes to, Topher, Alejandro, and Sammy!"
(Confessional)
Gwen: I mean, I knew it was coming. Alejandro and Sammy are close, and Topher has immunity. Really, there was no chance of me surviving this.
Static
Gwen walked down the carpet of shame with Sammy. "I'm sorry I had to vote for you."
"Hey, it's fine. This is way further than I expected to make it. Besides, at least you're still in the competition. Speaking of which, you'd better win this for me!" Gwen said.
Sammy chuckled. "I'll do my best." Gwen got in the Lame-o-sine.
Topher, Alejandro and Chris all surrounded her. " Topher, Sammy, and Alejandro, the final three. Tune in next time for our most controversial episode ever, of Total Drama Action!" Chris announced.
Bonus clip:
Gwen is in the Lame-o-sine. She sighed. "Once Noah was gone I knew I had to earn immunity, or I'd be next. I just hope Topher doesn't win. After everything he's done he doesn't deserve it. It'll be nice to get a break from the show. Call Duncan and go on an actual date. It's kind of a relief really." Someone off screen speaks. "I'm sorry what? There's an aftermath?!"
A/N: I love Gwen, she's my second favorite character, but she made a finale in canon. Besides Gwen has to go here, you'll see why next chapter. I was going to have this be a double elimination, but honestly that makes the next episode feel a little redundant. So the next challenge will be a sudden death between all three finalists. I hope this decision isn't too controversial.
Topher is in hot water with Alejandro now. He wants to make Alejandro the greatest villain Total Drama has even seen, but in the process he himself became the season's main villain. The irony is thick with this one.
Honestly this episode always felt a little dry in canon so hopefully I've made it more entertaining. I replaced the shark with a snake because I didn't want to have one of the contestants end up in the river. It just doesn't seem fair. In canon it was totally Courtney getting her comeuppance but here it didn't seem justified.
