The next morning the contestants were at the tent with most of them sitting down and the others were being served their meals for breakfast."Wow Chef; my taste buds almost forgot what it was like tasting your special brand of slop... The food at the hotel certainly tasted heavenly in comparison..." Gwen snarked as she was served her tray and sat down with the others at the Screaming Gaffers' table. "So... Anyone ready to try and lose this time..." Gwen whispered to most of of her teammates and then pointed to Lauren with her fork to remind them off why.
"Oh man... The thought of having to lose on purpose... It's making it harder to hold down the breakfast..." Lightning muttered holding his mouth and then running to the trashcan.
"Well I know that I can lost in the most spectacular way..." Ezekiel said looking like he was trying to brag and flashed a smirk to Bridgette who grinned but then she started giggling behind her hand making her frown.
"Smoothe Ezekiel..." laughed Topher making Ezekiel and Bridgette glare at him. "Okay everyone... I am down for making sure the creepy girl gets eliminated but what's the plan for if she gets suspicious of what we are up to? She is already terrifying enough as a teammate but have you ever wondered if someone actually gets on her bad side?" Topher asked and they blinked in fear.
"Well... I could try and threaten her with one of my evil schemes?" suggested Max and they shook their heads.
"What if we just fake stomach cramps and just forfeit..." suggested Zoey and they thought it over and Gwen shook her head.
"No... The idea is good Zoey but you remember how Chris didn't want us to just accept Lindsay as the loser for the Brunch of Disgustingness and threatened to make us vote out 2 people to force us to participate? Knowing him; he would just make us complete despite any stomach problems..." Gwen brought up and they sighed at the good point.
"What are you talking about?" asked Lauren appearing behind them making them jump and they just gave nervous fake smiles.
"We were just... Discussing what movie genre we are hoping that we get today! Gwen is real keen on it being a horror movie!" Bridgette said thinking fast with Gwen nodding and Lauren put her hands together with a grin.
"Oh Gwen; those are my favourite! Especially with the slashers that kills people; only problem is that the endings are so sad... At least one person survives and kills the slasher..." Lauren said and then frowned when talking about how 'sad' the slasher movie endings are.
Back at the Killer Grips' table Sid was staring at Brady as he sat down with his tofu bacon breakfast and Dawn sitting next to Lincoln noticed. "A vegan breakfast as well Brady?" Dawn asked approvingly as Brady nodded.
"Beth said that it's good for my heart and it belongs to her so I better not destroy her property." Brady replied as they took this in.
"You know that I have a strong stomach and it takes a lot to make me want to puke but I think your nonstop lovey dovey stuff is going to do just that..." complained Courtney who had chosen to sit herself next to Dawn at the table; MK make a 'blegh' sound as if she agreed with Courtney's words. "Seriously; I bet that my two good friends and teammates here who are an actual couple are going to be so obsessed as you seem to be!" Courtney said and pointed to Lincoln and Dawn.
"You are buttering us up to make us accept your alliance idea quicker; aren't you? I didn't need my aura reading to know that..." Dawn accused with Lincoln giving her a similar look.
"Perhaps I am but a fair warning if you do end up accepting... We will have to stay close and stick together... Look out for each other's backs and try and not vote anyone in our alliance off... We will have to be willing to vote off our own mothers if it came to it..." Courtney warned as they blinked at that.
"Well... Friendly competition but you could tone it down a bit Courtney... Besides what if we are in a sports movie challenge and Lincoln sucked again..." Dawn suggested but blinked at her words as Lincoln was embarrassed. "I am so sorry Lincoln..." Dawn told him apologetically but he shook his head.
"None taken and I understand... I was terrible at the dodgeball challenge on the Island..." sighed Lincoln and Courtney thought it over.
"...Well we do our best to help eachother out and pick up the slack; if someone is not doing their part then we do end up having to vote them off... No hard feelings if it came to that..." Courtney asked and they looked at eachother.
"Uh Sid... Isn't that your robot..." asked DJ at the counter to ask for seconds and Sid looked to the kitchen area and screamed to see Breakfast Bot.
"Breakfast Bot! What are you doing? This disgusting reality TV breakfast trash is too good for you to serve!" Sid screamed as Chef glared at her.
"We had it reprogrammed to help me out since it counted as contraband." Chef explained and Sid looked like she was about to fight him with the others having their eyes widening but Lauren grinned.
There was a whistle and at the entrance was Chris with a surfboard and sunglasses; "Contestants; ever seen one fo those 1950 surfer movies where the kids get up to neato fun before the big event and the bully kicks the sandcastle into the nerdy guy's face?" Chris asked and they just stared at him. "Well we are going back to the beach! Two challenges followed by a tie breaker if necessary." Chris explained and Bridgette was excited looking at the Gaffers.
"Team; this is great! Surfing has been my passion ever since I was 5 and my mum took me to learn how to surf for the first time!" Bridgette cheered as she got looks.
"That's fantastic... I mean if we wanted to lose then we would be totally boned!" Gwen said with an edge to that word with a fake supportive look as the others shared it and Bridgette blinked in understanding.
"Grab your swimsuits..." Chris said heading out the entrance but Dawn kept the Grips back and whispered something to them.
"On one hand; I really don't want to mess up as I want to show the world my mad surfing skills but on the other... I miss being able to sleep without being scared that something will happen thanks to Lauren..." muttered Bridgette in the confessional.
"My aura reading has helped me out in school; stopped some people from pulling pranks on me and I was able to tell when Chris was up to something." Dawn said in the confessional.
In the film lot there are ice and the Screaming Gaffers are freezing in swimsuits while the Killer Grips were in warm clothes. "As you can see we are in the studio and the cameras gets so hot that we need it this called and the network told my agent that sweaty isn't a good look for me." Chris said in a hooded parka with glares directed at them.
"Sorry that we weren't able to catch you Gaffers to have you warned like Dawn did us but Gwen..." Lincoln told the Gaffers apologetically and then got a spare parka to put over Gwen and she smiled gratefully but it turned into a smirk to pull him in.
"Don't lie to me... You purposefully kept it from me as you wanted to see me in my swimsuit again and thought that it wouldn't matter how cold it was because I was that hot..." asked Gwen teasingly as Lincoln spluttered out denials as he was red with giggles from the Gaffers.
"Wow Lincoln... You are so whipped..." laughed Sid as Lincoln went to rejoin the Grips.
"Do your best and remember... Our team is trying to lose so that we won't have to deal with Lauren anymore..." whispered Gwen to Lincoln and he gave a thumbs up as he rejoined his team.
There was a huge tub of water with a surfboard device on top; "Come on Chris; I already tried this challenge out... Do I have to demonstrate it... Could I at least change into something warmer..." complained Sammy as she was forced up on the surfboard as the others looked sorry for her.
"Your challenge is to stay on and the one who stays on the longest wins..." Chris explains as they look at eachother; as Sammy surfed but then the scene changed show a tornado and there was a strong windfall with a tornado machine forcing Sammy to land in the freezing cold water.
"Something tells me that losing in this challenge is not going to be difficult..." Zoey muttered in the confessional.
A montage of the Killer Grips surfing was shown:
Dawn was shown doing pretty well and sharks came out of the water and Dawn proceeded to pet them and they looked like puppies.
Lincoln was doing well as well and was dodging the bird cannon coming his way from Chef.
Courtney was smirking as she was doing pretty well on the surfboard.
Sid was doing well but ended up struggling and fell into the water.
Brady was seen doing well and even surfed on his hands.
DJ gulped as he surfed but ended up falling in as a bird from a cannon hit him in the face and he screamed as he hit the cold water.
MK was doing pretty well but ended up falling into the water.
"Can you keep a secret; I blew that on purpose? The secret is to be not too bad that they vote you out but not too good and be seen as a threat to be voted out!" grinned MK in the confessional.
"Okay... Best time went to Courtney with 14 minutes and 11 seconds for the Killer Grips!" Chris stated as the Grips cheered. "Gaffers; that's the time to beat!" Chris said to the gaffers.
Ezekiel was seen trying to show off and do muscle poses on the board looking to Bridgette who giggled but eneded up tripping into the water screaming.
Topher wasn't doing very much better and fell into the water as well.
Gwen made a show of trying to keep her balance before 'accidentally' falling into the water.
Bridgette was doing well and grinned as she was showing her surfing moves but a visual reminder from the faces of her teammates made her go into the water.
Lightning couldn't help but show off and do star jumps and surf on his hands before 'slipping' into the water.
Zoey did well as well before falling.
Max just fell in within the first ten seconds.
"Okay; Bridgette's time with 8 minutes and 45 seconds is the best for the Gaffers but nowhere near close to beat the Grips. Lauren; you are up!" Chris said as Lauren got up on the surfboard.
She hummed to herself as she practically danced around the birds sent from the cannon and kept up with the waves that the board was creating and then the tornado scenario came up and Lauren was treating it as fun. Eventually there was a buzzer as she got off to faces from everyone there. "Oh... Lauren beats out Courtney's time and the Killer Grips wins this challenge!" Chris announces and the Screaming Gaffers gave half hearted cheers as Lauren was the only team member actually cheering.
"For what its worth Ezekiel; you did look funny on the board..." Bridgette told Ezekiel with a smile causing him to smirk.
"Chris told us we were going to the beach for real in the next challenge but Dawn warned us all that he was being truthful as he would have counted on us not trusting him." Ezekiel said in the confessional and then smirked. "I think Lincoln's advice is working and I am really impressing Bridgette!" bragged Ezekiel with his arms folded.
"One bus ride and one boat ride later... Welcome back to... Total... Drama... Island!" Chris remarked as the campers looked around in their swimsuits.
"Wow... So back to where it all started... Camp Wawanakwa... They say that you can't go home again but this place even the beach feels as bad as I remember!" ranted Lincoln looking angry as the veterans all were glaring at Chris; except for Dawn who was marvelling at the nature around her.
"Well Dawn... Remember when we cleaned this beach up together?" Zoey called out to Dawn trying to remind herself off some good times and this got a thumbs up from Dawn.
"So this is the place... Feels so different seeing it in person and not on the screen..." Sid smiled looking around.
"Would I have time to do some proper surfing here?" Bridgette asked hopefully but Chris shook his head.
"Now the special guest judge for the sandcastle building contest!" Chris said pointing to the sandboxes and then there was growl and they gulped as a bear came but then Dawn went and hugged the bear.
"Dennis... It hasn't been that long but it feels too long!" Dawn smiled and then motioned for a nervous Lincoln to join in the hug which he did causing Dennis to give a low growl. "Dennis wants to thank you Lincoln as ever since you hit Malcolm in the nose; he has been too scared to be a big bully anymore." Dawn told Lincoln and he laughed.
"Would rather forget about the day but thanks..." Lincoln replied.
"So... I saw Dawn doing stuff like that on the TV but in person... You brought the bear back?" MK asked and Chris nodded.
"He had one day left on his contract and back to the sandcastle contest; Gaffers you have a lead of half an hour!" Chris then said.
The Gaffers were shown making small basic sandcastles and Ezekiel was doing muscle poses to Bridgette again; "I think that he is laughing at your Homeschool and not with you!" Topher yelled at Ezekiel causing him to be glared at and he went aside and took out Chris' phone that he had snuck there. "Come on... The producers have to respond at some point..." Topher whispered to himself.
"You wanna take a look at what he is up to?" Max asked Gwen but shook her head.
"Let him be distracted from working; better chance of us losing this damn thing!" Gwen retorted in a whisper.
"...We have half an hour to design the best sandcastle and I have already began drawing up..." Courtney said showing a diagram that she had drawn in the sand.
"Aren't you taking this too seriously? Sandcastle building isn't rocket science..." DJ asked Courtney but she looked serious.
"We lost last week and we lose this challenge and then its another loss!" Courtney retorted as Dawn and Lincoln went to calm her down.
"Well you are reminding me of Lisa right now Courtney; she always does this when going to build a sandcastle..." Lincoln told Courtney trying to calm her down as music started playing.
"What do you think... Some Twelve is Midnight to help us not be too stressed and in a good mood!" Sid explained showing that she has her music player with the headphones out.
"...You listen to that stuff?" huffed Courtney as Sid eyed her suspiciously. "All I am saying is that K-Pop was never my thing..." Courtney explained as Sid shook her head.
"Well... Got it but I love K-Pop and especially Koon Kwan... My future husband..." Sid sighed with happiness.
"Hasn't she been giving googly eyes to beefcake here since day 1?" whispered MK to Lincoln who decided to lay down.
"Well... I can plan on sandcastle designs here as the surfboard challenge took a lot out of me..." Lincoln said as Sid looked at him with a mischievous grin.
Courtney was directing the Gaffers when the half an hour started to build a sandcastle together; "where are you Lincoln... i am sure you have some creative ideas... WHAT ARE DOING!" Courtney cried to see that Sid had buried Lincoln in the sand.
"Too heavy with sand to get out... Not the worst beach trip I have ever had... I am not in a squirrel suit..." muttered Lincoln shaking his head with Sid laughing and offering a hand.
"Sorry Lincoln but some fun to lighten the mood... I will help you out..." Sid offered a hand as Courtney got to her with a stern face.
"Why are you messing about when we have a contest to win!" Courtney asked as Sid glared at her.
"You know; I have seen online forums that think that you are just too bossy and a bit of a jerk... I bet that the Hamsters only tolerated you being a jerk because you were in your team! What does CIT even mean?" Sid asked Courtney as she glared at her.
"Well I have skills and what have you done but mess about? Build robots only good for serving food..." Courtney retorted as the others went to separate them.
"You don't mock Breakfast Bot and what can you do..." Sid asked before tripping into Courtney and they ended up yelling at eachother.
"You know I could help break this up if only I had access to my arms and feet!" Lincoln yelled out as Dawn and Gwen went to help him out but Dawn spotted something as she got him out..
Sid and Courtney were glaring at eachother with hardly a sandcastle for the Grips as there were a few basic sandcastles from the Gaffers and a gothic looking castle sandcastle from Lauren. Dennis looked at them and pointed to the Screaming Gaffers with Lauren cheering for them but they just gave fake smiles.
"Sorry Grips but once again victory for the Gaffers! Someone is being eliminated this episode!" Chris said as the Grips looked disappointed.
"Well someone did muck about and wasn't taking this seriously!" Courtney stated looking to Sid with a glare that she returned.
"Come one everyone... Courtney is an overcompetitive jerk who takes this way too seriously... Do you really want to put up with her..." Sid asked as Courtney didn't like the looks that she was getting from Brady, MK and DJ. Sid smirked as she then waved goodbye to Courtney and led the way back and Courtney gritted her teeth but Dawn went up to Courtney to show her something...
"This isn't real; my team kept losing when I wanted to win last season and now we keep winning when I want to lose! This is a joke right..." complained Lightning on the confessional.
The montage opening for the Elimination Ceremony played as Chris was up on stage with Sammy with the Killer Grips on the stands with most of them looking uneasy but Sid and Courtney were glaring at eachother with their backs turned and arms folded. "Welcome to the dramatic Awards Ceremony and sorry but you are on the chopping block again Killer Grips. When I call your name; collect your Gilded Chris Award and the one who doesn't get one walks the Walk of Shame and rides the Lame-O-Sine." Chris said and coughed as they got out their tablets to make their votes. "Oh... Close to 4-3... Anyway... Dawn. Lincoln. MK. DJ. Brady." Chris read as Sammy gave them their awards and now Sid and Courtney were smirking at eachother.
"The final Gilded Chris goes to... Sid." Chris said as Courtney put her arm up.
"Wait... I have something to show..." Courtney said before Sammy could throw.
"Come on now Courtney; take your loss with dignity..." laughed Sid as Courtney took out the McLean Brand Chris Head as Sid's eyes widened and her mouth fell wife open as she recognised it and knew what it meant. Courtney smirked as Chris shook his head.
"Oh invincibility for Courtney as she brought the McLean Brand Chris Head to the Elimination Ceremony... Sorry Sid but with 3 votes; you were the 2nd one out..." Chris said as Sammy tossed Courtney the Award as she caught it and stared gloatingly as Sid who was open mouthed.
"What... Wait 3 votes?" Sid asked and looked to the stands and saw that Dawn and Lincoln weren't looking towards her.
"Sorry Sid but... I have had to vote off people I like from the competition and well..." Dawn said as Lincoln refused to look at Sid guiltily.
Sid then went up to Lincoln and got him to look at her; "It's alright Lincoln; like I said yesterday... No hard feelings if we have to vote a close friend off and I guess that I wasn't taking the challenge seriously enough..." Sid said as she pulled him into a hug. "Had fun but I gave it a go Lincoln; good luck!" Sid said as she waved and walked to the Walk of Shame to the Lame-O-Sine.
The Killer Grips were heading back to the trailers with Lincoln and Dawn looking down; "So Courtney..." DJ muttered along with Brady but Courtney just smiled which got them confused.
"Don't worry about it; I will be sure to not come to blows again to jeopardise the team!" Courtney assured them and went up to Lincoln and Dawn putting her arms on her shoulder.
"Thanks for the Chris head Dawn and Lincoln; I know that voting off Sid wasn't easy... I appreciate it but we are in this together as an alliance?" Courtney asked with a smile as they gave fake smiles and nodded. "Splendid; with us working together our Killer Grips losing streak ends right now!" cheered Courtney.
"Never felt worst after voting someone off..." sighed Lincoln in the confessional. "I know Sid and her family back home... I wonder what they and my family thinks back home... What Sid and Ronnie Anne's friends group back home thinks... Ronnie Anne must think that I'm a real Lame-O now..." muttered Lincoln as he just left the confessional.
