"Last time on Total Drama Pahkitew Island! Cody wrote his name in the record books becoming the first person this season to win multiple individual immunities and only the seventh player in Total Drama history to do so. Following the Roman elimination it seemed like Alejandro and Alexis were looking to perhaps find new allies in Bridgette and Geoff. However all four wanted to add a plus one to their deal with Alexis still wanting to work with Cody and Bridgette still wanting to work with Todd. Despite some rumblings of voting Alejandro or Todd, it ultimately culminated in a six to two blindside on Harold. Or so they thought, Harold pulled out his idol that he found from in the premerge and used it to take out our beloved artist Drew. Seven are left, find out what happens on this episode of TOTAL DRAMA PAHKITEW ISLAND!"
Theme Song
Before Challenge
"Look about last night…" Alexis started.
"It's okay, I don't expect you to want to work with Harold, I went after Alejandro last night too and I know you guys are close," Cody explained. The pair were seated inside the treehouse, seated right by the entrance, both keeping a watchful eye on the ground below making sure no one intruded on their conversation.
"So you're not mad?" Alexis asked, her eyes almost pleading for reassurance.
"No I'm not mad, it's a game after all. At the end of the day as long as we don't go for each other we'll be okay. Because I know our allies are all going to go after each other."
"Yeah, which is far from ideal too."
"I know," Cody said, placing a hand on Alexis' shoulder.
"You think Alejandro and Harold will make up?"
"I doubt it, Harold is way too prideful for that."
Alexis paused for a moment, appearing to be in deep thought "Do you think it would be smart if we were to do a fake fight?"
"Really?"
"I mean it'd throw the others off."
"I guess…" Cody trailed off.
"I DON'T CARE THAT YOU WANT AN APOLOGY, I DID WHAT I DID AND THAT'S THAT!"
"Uh…" Cody fumbled, Alexis gave a small nod of encouragement. "HAVE IT YOUR WAY THEN, YOU'LL BE THE NEXT ONE OUT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT!" Alexis gave a big smile, and then quickly turned to a massive frown as she climbed out of the treehouse.
Confessional, Alexis
I'm glad the bridge isn't burned, but this has really put all of my plans out of whack
Confessional, Cody
Harold is still here which is good. But six voted against him last night which is bad. I don't think Drew was the right choice but it was Harold's idol, so he picked who should go. We need two people to side with us. I think I have a good enough relationship with Alexis and Todd to do that… but I don't know if they have a good relationship with each other.
"So… are you just going to sit there… or are you going to tell me what happened last night?" Harold asked the Spaniard, as the pair sat in the cave, towards the entrance.
"Well…. You played an idol, and Drew went home," Alejandro replied, a coy smile appearing on his face.
"You know what I mean Alejandro, why did you turn on me? What did I do?"
"I felt like you were going to turn on me, so I made my move first, I would think a strong competitor like you would respect that."
"I would if it was true! I was loyal to you Alejandro!"
"Then why was your buddy Cody going around saying my name? Donde hay humo, hay fuego Harold."
"As much as everyone likes putting us together, Cody and I are not the same person! Gosh!"
"Okay, but as you said you guys are perceived as a duo, if Cody is saying something I can only assume you have heard it or said it."
"Whatever! I'm leaving!"
Confessional, Alejandro
He just HAD to have an idol. Ugh this could not have gone worse for me. But I will not give up, Tengo soldados, and I can still work myself out of this.
"HAVE IT YOUR WAY THEN, YOU'LL BE THE NEXT ONE OUT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT!"
"Wow Alexis and Cody are really fighting huh," Todd said.
"Yeah and there goes Harold stomping off," Bridgette said, pointing to the geek walking out of the cave.
Geoff, Bridgette, and Todd were all sitting off to the side of the cave, as the trio watched the drama unfold.
"This is huge for us that they're divided though, like so big, because now there's no way they will work together and they have to work with us," Todd explained.
"Yeah… that's cool I guess," Geoff said.
"What's up Geoff?" Bridgette asked.
"I just don't like it when people fight you know. Harshes the good vibes, and it just sucks seeing friends hate each other."
"It'll be alright Geoff, it's just a game, they know that. Emotions are just running high," Bridgette explained, looking towards Geoff trying to assure him.
Confessional, Geoff
I'm glad that like all of my homies are still here, between everyone Drew was the one I felt the least close with so I guess there's that. I guess I'm also glad the heat is finally off me after whatever the start of the merge was… but I know I'm going to have to betray more people, I think I found myself in the middle again… somehow… UGH! I know it's a game but I think of these people as my friends so it's hard to vote them out you know.
"Trust me campers, we had to start early for a good reason, and I'm not a fan of this like you all are," Chris said as the last seven funneled their way into the debriefing site.
"It's barely an hour earlier," Todd chimed in. "Unless the sun is-"
"An hour earlier still sucks Todd," Alexis intervened.
"Today your challenge will take you out onto the lake," Chris said as Dakota wheeled up a small platform boat The campers stepped onto the platform rather boredly as Chris explained. "There you will be situated on several platforms. Don't step off."
The seven stared at each other and at Chris. "That's it?" Harold finally asked.
"Well, since you were so kind to ask," Chris droned. "We will offer temptations to step off, but they'll be at more or less random intervals. And this is the first challenge where only one person will win immunity. No alternate win conditions here."
Confessional, Bridgette
One in seven… not a fan of those odds, but it's the water. I won the last challenge with water. It should be the same, right? Right?!
Confessional, Alejandro
I do possess good balance as expected from an all around athlete. I know how to keep this hot spicy core controlled.
Confessional, Harold
Time to use Meditation Steve's Meditation Camp drills just to get to the end. After the last ceremony I'm going to need it.
Confessional, Cody
Come on Turkey! PAPA NEEDS A TURKEY!
Confessional, Geoff
Bro, this seriously, is not, like, fun. I'm just going to be bored. I guess I'll have to chatter, yeah.
Confessional, Alexis
Los sobornos… temptaciones… en el sol… I wonder if I can convince them to take a fall for me.
Confessional, Todd
I still stand by the decision that this black hoodie is a good one. I don't care. I like black.
"One last thing campers!" Chris said once all seven were on their pedestals. "This might take awhile, so for every fifteen minutes you all survive, we're going to start up the Pahkitew Wave Machine!"
The campers stared at each other just as a massive wave formed out and splashed against all seven. "SO COLD!" Geoff shuddered.
"This is going to stink…" Alejandro sighed as he threw his head back. The camera caught his hair in a majestic shot before panning to a blushing Alexis and Bridgette. "Chris, is there any rule against taking off stuff so that we may balance a little easier?"
"Mister Milton says no sabotage outside of the opportunities we give you so feel free to. And I remind you that the marketing team and fandom will do whatever they want with the scene," Chris clarified.
"Perfecto," Alexis smiled as Alejandro pulled a hair tie from his pocket and tied his hair back. "No stripping from me though."
"Honestly if you want to take something off you just won't be shielded from water. I'd rather keep it on because of the shield from the splash," Harold pointed out.
"You can point it out all you want but it's still a test of grit," Geoff mentioned, slightly shaking from the water. "Man that's like, chilly bro."
A camera shot passed through all of the campers as they all stood resolute. "Did you all manage to eat today?" Todd asked as a slight breeze picked up.
"Just some berries. I wish I had more," Bridgette sighed.
"Alejandro y yo comimos un poquito de pescado, pero no quiero pensar en las comidas," Alexis quickly blurted.
There was another lull in the conversation just as another splash of water hit the campers. "COLD!" Harold suddenly stood erect. "Why'd it have to go down my pants?"
"I mean you could always pee in it," Todd mentioned. The others stared at him. "Because pee is warm?" He received no response. "Good grief."
Confessional, Harold
I don't know how long this competition is going to last so I'll save my pee, thank you Todd.
"Am I the only one feeling bored?" Cody asked Bridgette to his left.
"No," Bridgette sighed. "At least we're on the water."
"I don't know if I'd prefer ice or desert," Cody shrugged. "Just some kind of-"
A giant tuna fish jumped out of the water and made a splash. "I suppose that'll do."
"I haven't seen a tuna fish that big in a long time," Todd mentioned. "What about you Geoff?"
"Beats me brah, but I'm feeling kind of hungry." The conversation died down as they all stood rather still on their platforms. The camera focused on the campers swaying atop their platforms before suddenly whipping to Chef pumping up something on a platform.
"Campers! Forty five minutes of just standing there, great discipline. Haven't seen that since the war."
"Which one?" Cody asked.
"The war of NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Chef shouted. He threw one of the objects he was pumping into the water. "That right there is a bonafide top tier Wilson football. If you jump off right now you're gonna get ten of them for usage during and after the game. On top of that, I'm supposed to cook pizzas. One six incher every thirty minutes. If you jump off right now you get the sole right for Pizza."
Geoff let out something of a drool as he thought about it. "What kind of topping Chef?"
"ANYTHING YOU WANT BUT ONE TOPPING PER!" Chef clarified with a big shout.
"What's a per?"
"For each one," Alejandro clarified. "Por ejemplo, su primer pizza puede con anchoas o mushrooms."
"I don't know what anchoas are," Geoff raised an eyebrow. "But I'd love some bacon! YO CHEF! I'LL TAKE THE BACON AND THE FOOTBALLS TO GO!"
With a loud whoop, Geoff jumped in the water and hurriedly swam to the platform. Chef handed Geoff a six inch pizza with bacon lining the top. "Ingredients provided by our sponsor, Supreme Meats. BBQ or P-A-R-T-Y." Chef threw the flashcard with the sponsor note into the water with a bored sigh.
Confessional, Geoff
(He licks his lips) Bro, I didn't eat much. And since it's bacon you'd totally do the same tchyah. Wish I could share it with Bridgette or Alejandro though.
"Yeah it's going to take more than that to get me off of this thing," Harold mentioned. "Pizza at an interval isn't going to be that helpful if you're not immune."
"You're doing a lot of talking this time," Todd noticed. "That's also some energy that'll be better spent on remaining balanced."
"Well we don't need to fight," Bridgette interjected. "But if we want to talk… what's your favorite weather?"
"I do enjoy the snow," Alexis smiled. "Except when it's a blizzard. All that cold stuff going in front of your car. Every time that happened my parents would get a cracked windshield. A bunch of bullies came over and poured hot water over it to help us but then-"
"Such a sudden energy change, I see that," Cody acknowledged. "That sucks."
"Sucked more for my parents. But I talked to the bullies and they said they'd pay for more than a new windshield. I only wanted a replacement for the old one."
"Huh, recuerdo un memento cuando my bully of a brother kicked one of my other brother's soccer balls through my window. Jose never did offer to fix my windsor," Alejandro grumbled.
"And what was the weather back then?" Bridgette asked.
"Hmm, un poquito cloudy, I would say. Except there was a light mist, and it was after an athletic event, so the mist soaked through my family's clothes." Alejandro reminisced just as they were splashed again. "Kind of like this…"
Confessional, Bridgette
The sun was getting out, and the water wasn't getting any warmer… that was so… boring but at least we're somewhat bonding.
Confessional, Cody
Kind of hard to concentrate with the most inane of conversations if you ask me… just think Happy thoughts Cody… happy thoughts Codemeister.
"You know moving on from the weather, why did you want to join Total Drama?" Alexis asked Alejandro.
"Mainly to show off against my brother," Alejandro snorted. "Carlos is fine, Jose… Jose is a thorn in my side. Always steals my girlfriend, always steals my position in sports, so many- a lot of animosity there that I don't think you want to hear."
"Sorry to hear that Al," Harold mentioned as Alejandro flinched. "I joined because I need to prove myself against a lot. I'm bully fodder and that's not because I'm a tall poppy. Maybe to some extent because of my brain but everyone says that my skills don't help me that much."
"If it helps matters you did win one immunity," Todd chimed in. "That's more than your bullies back home."
Before Todd could explain why he signed up for Total Drama, the campers heard a loud microphone feedback. "Attention campers, this is the second temptation! A new vanity, stocked to the brim with the latest and greatest in makeup products, and this sweet karaoke machine," Dakota drew the others' attention to her. "For all of your needs!" She sang the last part.
"That's it?" Cody asked. "Why do we even need a dedicated machine?"
"You can speak for yourself, Codester," Alexis interrupted. "But my friends and I could use that to stand up for ourselves. And yes, I do… I do think that I have friends back home."
"Go for it then," Harold advised. "But I don't think you get the pizza. That's Geoff's."
"Eh, I've survived not eating for longer," Alexis splashed in the water. "Plus I can finally sit."
The wave machine turned on and sent Alexis into the eliminated camper platform. Geoff handed her a small slice of bacon pizza as Alexis started fiddling with the machine.
Confessional, Alexis
(she reads off of a card) Milton Machine Karaoke. Please don't sing during the show as it means that there are payments required for songs.
Yo comprendo… but that doesn't mean I can't take a look at this machine.
Confessional, Todd
I think I heard online that karaoke machines lead to bar fights. Hopefully we won't start an island fight.
Another camera pan of the scenery showed that the remaining campers had just been splashed by another wave of water. "Gosh, I think I might get hypothermia after this," Harold loudly complained.
"Someone should get some food into him," Geoff said on the sit out bench. "Are there any royalty free songs we can sing on there?"
"No, no quiero risk it," Alexis said as she laid on the bench as Chef and Dakota tossed a remote between each other.
"Shaw, like, that's a total bummer. I heard Hypoglycemia means that you need some pop in you," Geoff mentioned.
"What?" Alexis asked. "I don't think-HAROLD ARE YOU HYPOGLYCEMIC?"
Incredulous, Harold turned to Alexis and Geoff on the bench. "What kind of question is that? I have a lot of allergies but I am NOT diabetic!"
"Would someone with diabetes even want to do this show?" Alejandro thought out loud.
"Depends on the type, probably, I don't know enough about it," Bridgette said. "But one of my friends had to stop being vegetarian because she wasn't getting enough blood sugar in her."
"What I wouldn't do for some sugar," Cody sighed.
"Ew," Todd mumbled.
"Hey that's mean," Bridgette called out. "Just because Sugar farted a lot doesn't mean that Cody can't talk about his crush on Sugar if he doesn't want to."
"What?! She's not even my type!"
Confessional, Alejandro
…incompetentes… estúpidos… peor que mi hermano…
Confessional, Harold
For the record, I don't get hypothermia easily. At least, I get it slower than at least 60% of the population, so I'm above average in that regard
The sun shone rather harshly on the water as Harold took off his glasses. He lifted his shirt up to wipe his glasses, flashing the camera with another bit of bright and shininess with his undershirt. He fixed his vision for a moment as he put his glasses back on.
And then the next wave hit him in the back.
"GOSH!" Harold screamed from the water.
"You okay Harold?" Todd asked.
Harold swam over to the sit out bench where Geoff offered him a small bit of Pizza. Harold took it gingerly as he shook his hair dry. "I'm fine," he yelled at Todd.
Confessional, Harold
I need to brush up on my fluid dynamics
With under half of the remaining contestants on the sit out bench the four had taken to playing some kind of game with the karaoke machine. Harold called out number forty three. A public domain song appeared on the small screen and the four campers cheered. "Awfully bright today," Chris said as he pulled up to the campers.
"Why'd you make us do this?" Harold asked.
"Why'd you decide to participate?" Chris snapped back. "Anyways! TO THE LAST FOUR REMAINING! MISTER MILTON HAS BROKERED A DEAL! HE'S READY TO FUND YOUR NEXT CANADIAN STAYCATION WITH FIVE THOUSAND CREDITS, WHERE EACH CREDIT IS WORTH THREE DOLLARS!"
"Wow," Cody's jaw dropped. "That's some good synergy there."
"My mom told me she went on a date to a Milton Hotel restaurant," Bridgette said. "She came back looking tickled pink."
"I've yet to experience Milton Hotels, but if the service is as good as some of the other hotels I've stayed in, it might be worth it," Alejandro mused. "Una noche en la ciudad con una cita."
"In English please?" Todd asked as he put his hoodie up.
"Five thousand credits at Milton hotels could make for a nice date," Bridgette mentioned offhandedly as Cody seemed to sway with the wind. "At least that's what I think Alejandro said."
"Precisely," Alejandro smiled. "I know that any girl would be grateful for a date, but maybe a date to a Milton Hotel would be extraordinary."
"Dates?" Cody suddenly perked up. He leaned further on his platform and started to think. "You mean I could take a girl out on my dream date depending on the milton hotel?"
"Yeah, the Code-meister's totally gonna get a big horde of fangirls," Alejandro smiled. "What woman wouldn't want to get their hands on a guy who can treat them to a nice steak."
"Girls…" Cody seemed to reply airily.
"I mean you could always treat your mom," Todd said with his arms outstretched. "Or dad."
"Girls…" Cody seemed to slip into a stupor before suddenly snapping out. "I'll drop!"
Cody stepped off of his platform and began to swim. Dakota ceremonially handed him a laminated certificate. "You can use it for up to 4 years after the season is over," Dakota smiled through her teeth.
Confessional, Cody
If Alejandro says I can get girls, I can get girls. I just hope I'm not too much of a target.
Confessional, Bridgette
It might have been the heat or it might have been the water or it might have been the sun or it might have been the wind or it might have been just us talking but did Alejandro convince Cody to drop?
Confessional, Alejandro
While I am used to the sun, I do not enjoy the water. And I don't even particularly want to win immunity. Let the others paint the targets. But it would be shameful of me not to try at least.
A small graphic on the camera displayed that just about another hour had passed for Alejandro, Bridgette, and Todd as they stood relatively steady on the platforms. The three glanced at each other and at Geoff being handed another pizza. Alexis seemed to be seated just in front of the bench as she stretched her hands behind her. Cody anxiously rested on the bench next to Geoff as he fiddled with his hands. Harold seemed to sit behind the others on the platform itself.
"So Bridgette, you're vegetarian right?" Todd asked.
"Yeah," Bridgette answered.
"So… do you like, eat eggs?" Todd scratched his head.
"I don't say no to it," Bridgette shrugged. "I just suck at cooking them."
"Por qué no praticques?" Alejandro asked. "Ay… lo siento pero espanol es mas facil que ingles ahora. Ojala que los editores puedan hacer un buen translacion."
"Do you speak any other languages Todd?" Bridgette asked.
"No, I picked up the German swear words from distant cousins but nothing meaningful, and then nein and ja, but everyone knows that," Todd shrugged. "Obviously Al over there knows Spanish."
Alejandro seemed to give a dark glare to Todd. "Por favor Todd, no me llames Al. Prefiero que-"
"Sorry Al, my Spanish is rusty," Bridgette chimed in. "We were just asking about languages. It's clear you know Spanish."
"Otra Vez no me llames-"
"Sheesh Al, you're turning Red," Todd glanced at Alejandro. "Maybe it's best if you drop and grab some pizza from Geoff."
"It's no problem Al!" Geoff shouted from the sit out platform. "I'll get you some spanish pizza if you want!"
Alejandro whipped his head to yell at Geoff. With the frantic movement Alejandro lost his balance and splashed unceremoniously in the water. "AND IT LOOKS LIKE AL IS OUT OF THE CHALLENGE!"
Confessional, Alejandro
Por un lado, no soy inmune, por lo que la gente no piensa que soy una amenaza. Pero por otro lado... jodidos idiotas con su falta de español y lenguaje romance, ¡¿por qué estoy atrapado con esta gente?! Casi todos apestan.
"You know, what's the point of all this?" Todd asked broadly. "We've been standing here for hours and hours in the sun, getting pelted by the elements, Alejandro lost his sanity, Geoff is on his hundredth pizza slice, Alexis and Harold are this close to shocking themselves, and Cody's napping."
"He's napping?" Bridgette snapped her head to look at the geek. True to what Todd said, Cody was curled up under the bench using one of the coverings of the karaoke machine as something of a blanket.
The camera whipped to Geoff with a pizza in his hand annoying Harold with a conversation. "Bro I haven't been up this long since my brother had that all night raver," Geoff mumbled to himself. "At least then we had-"
"Woah!" Harold held his hands out as if to stop Geoff from talking. "I don't wanna learn any more about the mailboxes you made out with!"
"Should Bridgette be worried?" Alexis asked.
"I hope not, she's way prettier than any mailbox I made out with."
"Or she could get mad that she's sloppy seconds to a mailbox," Alexis countered.
"¿A quien lo piensa?" Alejandro asked.
"Supongo a nadie," Alexis said.
The camera flashed to Cody slumbering still under the cover before Chris pulled up on a jet ski. He blared a loud air horn in his face and Cody rolled into the water. "CAMPERS! BRIDGETTE AND TODD MOST SPECIFICALLY!"
The two on the platforms turned their heads at Chris. "Okay, we're surprised you're all lasting this long. So, yours truly, Chef, and Dakota came up with three temptations. Number one! The first person to step off will get a free pass to a glamping cabin in the Carolinian Forest! Number Two! The second person to step off will have the chance to take a joyride in one of Chef's go-karts-"
"Hey Daddy didn't agree to that! He agreed to the one in Point Pelee!" Dakota objected.
"And why must you use my Go Karts again?! The insurance barely got them to the same condition last season!"
"Shush! I haven't read the third one!"
"Chris?" Todd asked. "I just want this to be over."
"Are you giving up now Todd?" Bridgette asked.
"I don't think my hoodie can take it," Todd mentioned.
"Neither can mine for that matter…" Bridgette sighed. "HEY CHRIS! I'LL JUMP FOR THOSE THINGS AND IF YOU GIVE EVERYONE WINGS, POP, AND POUTINE!"
Chris' jaw dropped as he stared at Bridgette breathing heavily on the platform. "Bridgette, you're dropping, giving Todd immunity, just so everyone can have wings, pop, and poutine?"
"With gravy on the side," Bridgette mentioned. "If I'm giving up this immunity I want to make it worth it for everyone."
Todd stared at Bridgette with his jaw dropped. "If it helps I won't take the wings, pop, and poutine. And give Bridgette the other temptations!"
"Todd, what are you doing? You could send that to your girlfriend!" Cody spoke up.
"She wants me to come back a millionaire more!" Todd fired back.
"I'll drop if Chris agrees!" Bridgette said.
"Don't be stupid Bridgette! Extort him for more!" Harold spoke up.
Dakota, Chris, and Chef huddled up. Dakota pulled out a communicator to her dad and again turned to the huddle with a more fervent discussion. "Well, the immunity reward dinner tonight just so happened to be wings, pop, and poutine," Chris said into his microphone. "Okay, Bridgette. Drop in thirty seconds if you want all the fixings. If not, then the challenge goes-"
Bridgette took a majestic dive into the water and emerged with an exasperated grin on her face. "Good for everyone?" she asked.
Chris blared the airhorn. "TODD WINS IMMUNITY! HE WILL GET HIS ORDER OF WINGS, POP, AND POUTINE DURING THE CEREMONY. THE REST OF YOU, EAT, STRATEGIZE, AND GET DRAMATIC!"
Confessional, Alexis
Alright, we found this… thing… hopefully it's useful in the future…
(she holds up a wooden piece in the shape of Chris) Under the bench. Surprising if you ask me.
Confessional, Todd
Immunity. Feels right to have, but I kind of wish I got it with a little more action. Beggars can't be choosers.
Confessional, Geoff
And now the un-fun part begins… total bummer dude…
After Challenge
Alejandro, Geoff, and Alexis were walking through the forest heading back to the cave, with berries and wood in hand for food and fire that night. Geoff was tossing his football in the air as if he had just got it for a Christmas gift this morning.
"We need to figure out who we're going to vote for before we get back so we can let Bridgette know. Those three boys are surely going to vote together here," Alexis mused.
"You think Todd would vote with them?" Geoff wondered allowed, placing the football inside his pink shirt, placing it under his armpit, and lifting up his massive pile of firewood to his chest.
"It would make sense, especially since Cody and Todd have certainly become a lot closer as of late," Alejandro pondered. "It would not surprise me if he is looking to vote for myself or you out here Geoff."
"Well then we gotta make sure that doesn't happen man," Geoff said.
"Agreed. But this likely means Bridgette is the swing, and with Todd immune we only have two real choices. Of Cody or Harold." Alejandro explained.
"I lean Harold, he has a successful idol play, that alone gives him a good shot to win in the end in my opinion," Alexis stated
"That is true, but we all know Harold… isn't the best at challenges… and if he does have another idol somehow, he would certainly play it on himself," Alejandro said, pausing for a moment as if thinking on what to say. "I feel like it would be a safer move to go for Cody would it not?"
"I doubt Harold has another idol, he'd also just be easier as a whole to get votes on, especially if Todd is working with Cody, it doesn't seem like him and Harold are that close at all," Alexis said.
"I don't know dudes. Cody has been kinda dominating those immunity challenges. I gotta agree with Alejandro here," Geoff replied.
"I still think Harold is the better choice, he's got a way better chance to win already," Alexis rebutted.
"We still have four rounds to vote him out after this, Cody has already won two immunities, we gotta make sure he can't go on a run, and become a threat to win himself," Alejandro exclaimed.
"I guess…"
Confessional, Alexis
WHY!? Why is it that I set myself up perfectly, just for my allies to tear it down! Like come on guys we voted Harold last time, why are we not doing it this time, like HELLO!?
"We're all in agreement right?" Cody said, as the camera panned around to see Harold, Cody, and Todd gathered by the river, hunched over and squatted down, Cody happened to be snacking on a piece of poutine.
"Yep, we go for Alejandro, and we finally rid ourselves of him," Harold said, a hint of malice could be heard in his voice.
"We just need a fourth, Geoff and Alexis won't go for it, they're still too close to him…." Todd paused.
"That leaves Bridgette," Cody mused.
"I can go and talk to her, I know her and Alejandro have been noticeably a bit more chatty lately, but I feel like she would recognize the danger that he is and vote with us," Todd explained.
"Is there a chance she doesn't?" Harold asked.
"There's a chance for anything to happen. I'm not one to hope and pray, but that's really the best we can do," Todd said, as the boys all nodded in agreement.
Confessional, Todd
FINALLY! IT'S HAPPENING!
Confessional, Harold
You made your move and lost your rook, now I'm making my move and I'm going for checkmate.
Alejandro sat outside the shelter with a tray of poutine. He started to prod at it just as Alexis stomped through the forest. Alejandro set down his poutine and descended the ladder to talk to Alexis. "You were gone for a while," Alejandro noted.
"Thinking in the confessional, como sabes," Alexis thought. "Ay… I hate this game…"
"Por que?"
"My friends, at least, I consider everyone here more or less a friend. It just sucks so hard to eliminate them when you're such good friends with them. Look, I… have something…"
Alejandro's eyebrows raised as Alexis pulled out the Chris idol from her pants. "We've been working together for a while so I'm showing you this just so I can at least… por lo menos, por lo menos… At least I have another pair of eyes looking for this."
"Expires at the final five if I remember," Alejandro spoke in a metered voice. "Which I assume means that we can play it in two rounds if we need to."
"Yeah," Alexis sighed. "I don't want to do this, but if it comes down to it, I know you prefer to be on the right side of the vote so I'll give you a heads up."
"Por supuesto," Alejandro smiled.
Alexis put the idol back in her pocket and gave Alejandro a brief hug.
Confessional, Alejandro
…Alexis has the power. I don't want to get it twisted, but right now, I'm right and toasty as her right hand hombre. Now I just have to figure out how to maneuver us in a way that puts me in the driver's seat.
Confessional, Alexis
…Alejandro has the power. No if, ands, or buts. I definitely locked in something as a duo but I don't think the others necessarily know. Hopefully I can find a way to become the lead.
As Harold, Todd, and Cody separated, Todd went looking for the surfer girl, who was further down the river picking up a handful of wooden sticks. "Hey Bridgette, what're you doing all the way down here?" Todd asked the surfer.
"Just trying to gather my mind is all," Bridgette replied, standing up straight and turning to face Todd.
"I get it, this game is becoming.. A lot to deal with. But we have an iron clad plan to take out Alejandro here, we just need your vote."
"Alejandro? Why not Harold? He seems like the biggest threat to win."
"We can just get Harold next vote, especially since he's way less likely to win immunities than Alejandro is."
"I guess. I'm just hesitant to burn Alexis and Geoff is all."
"They'll be fine. Not like they haven't voted against us before. Besides, if they do hold a grudge it'd be their funeral."
"Couldn't they just go to Harold and Cody?"
"They both want Harold out, and we need Harold out at some point too, I doubt they'd work with him if I'm honest."
"I guess. I'm just not sure."
"You've got some time to figure it out, but this is definitely the best move for us going forward."
Confessional, Todd
Bridgette this is the easiest layup I have ever seen. I don't know why you're second guessing yourself
The camera cut to about a half an hour later to Bridgette and Alexis who were sitting in the treehouse, both looking incredibly stressed and exhausted.
"These boys are so stubborn!" Alexis exclaimed, throwing her hands up in defeat.
"Literally. It looks like no matter what it's between Cody and Alejandro," Bridgette said.
"Do you think we could force them to vote for Harold? Like a threat?"
"Maybe, but then either Todd, Harold, and Cody just lie and vote Alejandro anyway causing a three to two to two or Alejandro just decides to flip and vote one of us out. It'd be too much of a risk to try and make a threat, especially with so little time left."
"So we basically have to pick between the two, which sucks. But whatever. Should we vote together here? We hold the power on who goes home."
"I think we should, so whichever group we vote with, we can work with them for a little bit if we need to."
Alexis pondered to think for a bit, raising her hand to her chin, her eyes darting to the floor as her chin tilted down. "I don't like voting either of them out obviously, do you have a preference?"
"I know you're close with both of them. I know which one I kind of lean, but I think we can both agree that you should have the final say since they're your people."
"Between the two… ugh. I think…"
Confessional, Alexis
To cut my best ally or maybe my closest friend. UGH!
Confessional, Bridgette
I'm basically choosing between a handsome devil and a gamer devil. Both are questionable to keep around but both need to go home. And I know Alexis had a fight with Cody this morning, but I know that they're still really close too… ugh this will be difficult.
Confessional, Cody
This is war… and hopefully my side has the key… please for the geeks, please!
Elimination Ceremony
"Another night, another elimination. Seven of you will soon become six. After a very dramatic idol play from Harold. Thank you by the way, the ratings are going to enjoy it! Remember once you are voted out you must leave the island immediately by taking our lovely cannon. With there being not many of you left, that means the votes get in faster, meaning I can grab the votes before what I can only assume to be a marshmallow eating bear stinks up the bathroom."
"Why do you think it's a marshmallow eating bear?" Todd asked. He took a sip of his pop with a casual glance before digging into a piece of poutine.
"Educated guess," Chris replied.
"Some educated guess," Alexis scoffed, earning a few chuckles.
"ANYWAYS! If anyone has a Chris statue they would like to play, now is the time to do so."

"SEVENTH VOTE… and the fourteenth person voted out of Total Drama Pahkitew Island and the fifth member of our jury… Cody. It's time for you to go!"
"Welp. This sucks. But hey I made it further than a lot of people stronger than me. I guess I can take that," Cody said standing up from his tree stump. Alexis stood up with him and walked over to Cody.
"I'm sorry. I had to, I-." Alexis started.
"It's okay," Cody replied, "You have my vote if you make the end, don't worry," Cody whispered into her ear.
Harold stood up from his stump and he and Cody high fived and smiled at each other. "See you on the other side Cody. Hopefully I don't join you too soon," Harold said.
"Hopefully," Cody chuckled. He waved to the rest as he hopped into the cannon. Chef nodded to Cody as he lit the fuse sending Cody flying and screaming his head off as he launched into the water.
"Seven is now six. We're in the final stages of the game. With the final idol in the hands of Alexis, what will be done with it? And who will make up the final two? There are only four votes left before we answer that question. With three drama filled episodes left, stay tuned for the end game of our craziest season yet! Come back next time for the next episode of TOTAL DRAMA PAHKITEW ISLAND!"
The camera cut to Dakota not just picking up Cody from the water but also showing her pushing several stylized buttons on a large monitor. There was a sudden image of a three dimensional model of Pahkitew with a sudden glowing thing in the center. Dakota hauled Cody in and directed him to the camera at the front of the canoe just as his final confessional started.
Final Confessional, Cody
Well sucks that I went out at this point, but on the bright side I made some new friends and I definitely did not think I was going to make it this far at all! I even won two immunities which is crazy to me. But I made it to the top seven and went out in a tight vote. I was a part of Harold's idol play, I mean outside of the constant losing I did a lot of what I wanted to do out here. I'm of course rooting for Harold to pull this out, but if he doesn't Alexis has my vote for sure.
Votes
Alejandro: This needs to be done. Cody
Alexis: I couldn't risk Alejandro exposing that I have the idol. I'm sorry Cody. I hope you can forgive me. Cody
Bridgette: Why are boys so stubborn ugh. Cody
Cody: It's you or me, and it better be you. Alejandro
Geoff: Sorry little homie, you did well. Cody
Harold: I always wanted to vote you out, I just never thought you'd make the first move. Alejandro
Todd: This has been a long time coming.. Alejandro
SCENES FROM THE NEXT EPISODE:
"Wait… THE ISLAND'S ROBOTIC?!" Geoff shouted.
"You didn't know?- I thought you did - actually it wasn't that obvious to me- I just thought Todd lost it- No, Todd made sense, you didn't- quack - wait why wouldn't you believe me?- Is the sound system off?-" The campers started clamoring.
"HEY! THE ISLAND AND THE MILLION ARE IN DANGER!"
"EXCUSE ME FOR NOT KNOWING THAT N-E-P-I-S SPELLS SPINE AND NOT P-E-N-I"
"CENSORS!" Dakota suddenly jump tackled Geoff out of the way. "That'll cost you."
"Make him do the drusselstein driving test waltz!" Alejandro taunted.
Todd and Alexis put their hands on a floating orb in the center of the room. "Huh, it's a map," Alexis spoke out.
"And there- in the center- that weird round thing-"
"What weird round thing? I'm holding onto one right now."
"Whatever," Todd dismissed.
"If I remember correctly, the elevators have to lead deeper into the mines. Unless it takes us down that same stalagmite from-"
"The orb episode," Alejandro sighed. "Yo recuerdo."
Catching Alejandro's dismissive glance, Harold started to retort, only for an elevator to open at his feet. He fell on top of Bridgette and Geoff. "Gosh… sorry Bridge."
Bridgette lifted her head off of the ground with a grunt.
"It's probably best not to mention holidays or other controversial things out there," Dakota said as she presented a powerpoint to several beavers. "And that is your job as a social media intern. Any questions?"
A beaver held up an image of Dakota and Ryan. "You're fired," Dakota suddenly pressed a giant red button, opening a trapdoor.
Reviews
Lord Gemini: (Trygve) I'm really glad you enjoyed the episode. This was by far one of my favorites to write. I hope you enjoyed another close vote and exciting period for strategy. This has definitely been my favorite merge in my opinion to write thus far as well
(Rj): Glad you enjoyed the challenges. It was hard to really come up with distinct stuff but I'm glad you enjoyed the avant garde descriptions and the futbol/football pun.
SuperSonicHeroes: (Trygve) I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yeah the OCs quickly being all voted off was smth we noticed as well as we planned this season, but felt it best to leave in just because it fit the story we wanted to tell really well.
(Rj): Looks like Cody didn't survive with that target. Still glad you enjoyed the talents going on. Hopefully Harold survives a little longer now.
Nobody245: (Trygve) So… Cody went home this round…Glad you enjoyed the last chapter though, and I hope you enjoyed this one!
(Rj): So it looks like your initial guess is now…two fifths of the way gone. Clearly you had something to say about Todd that he was one of three contestants in your review but not minding it.
