It was the orning after the last challenge and Courtney was having the Grips huddle together as they left their trailer. "Okay Grips; while things should be more peaceful, less terrifying and less 'fearing that we could be killed at any moment' thanks to the Gaffers voting off Lauren yesterday, it does however mean that the Gaffers don't have the incentive to try and lose on purpose so we will have to be on our A-game here. Work together as one." Courtney told them as there were nods but MK was grumbling as she was doing so.
"Something to say MK?" Courtney asked batting an eye and MK was just silent. "Now I am thinking we should see the biggest threats on the Gaffers team and see if we could target them to get the Grips to eliminate them." Courtney said and then looked to the others for suggestions.
"Ezekiel pretty much won last season due to his luck and Lincoln here watching over him and that Bridgette girl looks to be out of her element so I wouldn't say that they are threats/ How about Zoey since she was pretty much dominating the latter half of last season until the end?" MK suggested but this suddenly got Dawn's attention while Lincoln shook his head at what she said about Ezekiel.
"No... I mean; she hasn't gone 'Commando' so she isn't as much as a threat." Dawn said trying to make sure that they don't go for her best friend.
"Speaking up for your friend and I bet Lincoln would stick up for his goth?" MK asked as Lincoln glared at her.
"How about Lightning; I mean if we end up having a sports challenge then that could be just handing a victory to the Gaffers?" Brady suggested and their eyes widened at that.
At the Screaming Gaffers' trailer the team looks relaxed as they left through the door. "Only been a few days but i had forgotten what a good night's sleep was like!" cheered Gwen with a grin.
"Once you don't have to worry about Lauren; the beds are pretty comfortable to sleep on there." smiled Bridgette.
"It means that we can start winning and use our advantage in only having lost 1 teammate to their 2!" Lightning grinned with excitement as they saw Chris coming up to them all dressed like a prison guard.
"Welcome to the gulag contestants as today is Prison Flick Day!" Chris said showing that the area around the trailers had a prison enviroment set up making them all groan.
"We are not going to have to eat prison food... Are we..." Bridgette asked looking scared and green in her cheeks.
"Won't be a sweat if we have to because what is actually different from what Chef usually cooks?" Gwen assured her but Ezekiel tried to look brave.
"I can stomach anything!" Ezekiel said with a pose causing Bridgette to laugh but Zoey looked at him.
"Kind of worried for Ezekiel now; all he has been doing trying to impress Bridgette... It just might cost him and get him eliminated sooner or later because I have seen plenty of shows where someone doing big things to impress someone romantically goes wrong..." Zoey said in the Confessional.
"This evil genius has been put behind bars..." sighed Max in the confessional.
"This entire show is kind of like a prison... But if Chris has put in a shower challenge then that's me out... What? I wouldn't put it past him at this point..." DJ said in the confessional.
Inside the set up prison were two cages and two tables set with food and Chris was facing the contestants. "Teams you take a prisoner from the other team and the Warden will lock them up!" CHris explained as then came Chef dressed as a boot camp instructor making them gulp.
The Grips were together; "This challenge could get Lightning out of competing and could put the Gaffers at a disadvantage!" Courtney was saying.
"But what if Lightning ends up being safe from being eliminated from that?" DJ asked unsure as Courtney then looked to Dawn.
"Dawn; any clue as to what Chris and Warden Chef have planned with their auras?" Courtney asked as they looked at her.
"Well... I wasn't close enough but as I did get a glimpse of Chef's aura as he was coming up and something gross is in store for whoever is up..." Dawn explained looking green as they blinked.
"In that case about Chris Jr as in Topher? He has been a real jerk and I would love to see him get his?" grinned Lincoln and Courtney thought it over.
"For you Lincoln..." Courtney agreed as they nodded.
Back at the Gaffers they were discussing who to choose; "How about the hippie girl or her boyfriend since it should be fun seeing them locked in a cage?" Topher asked with a grin and he got looks especially from Gwen.
"One more word about Lincoln and you will wish that you were in solitary confinement..." warned Gwen as Max thought it over.
"My evil genius mind is suggested Courtney and since she seems to be a schemer this season." Max suggested and they thought it over and decided to nod.
"Okay teams; who are you gonna lock up?" Chris asked as Topher smirked as he stepped forwar for the Gaffers.
"Have fun in the cage Ms CIT..." laughed Topher as Courtney blinked but sighed as with grace she stepped inside the cage. "Wow I would hate to be in your position..." laughed Topher some more as the Grips decided to smirk.
"Funny you should mention that Topher as I hope that you don't have claustrophobia." Dawn said as Topher stopped as Chef took him by the arm and pushed him into the cage.
"Okay teams; you have to make a disgusting dish for your prisoner to eat; whoever eats the most of their dish without blowing chunks wins the round for their team and gets this for the next part of the challenge!" Chris explained showing a golden shovel.
"We have to... What..." cringed Topher as Courtney smirked at him.
"Courtney came in 2nd at the Brunch in the last season; this is in the bag..." laughed MK in the confessional.
At the Gaffers table; Zoey put in some slimy anchovies paste, Bridgette wasn't looking as she put in some dirt and Gwen put in the cockroaches. Max took out one of his socks to put in while Lightning came in having retrieved some of his own socks. Ezekiel put in some of his hairs.
At the Grips table; Brady poured in a chug of disgusting liquid, DJ put in some powder while MK spat in it. Dawn and Lincoln came in holding Brittany as Dawn pushed some of her hair into the dish.
"Am I not allowed to be vindictive... Topher was cruel to Lincoln mocking him for his drunkenness and his aura shows that he values him getting famous over all else..." Dawn said in the confessional.
"One minute to chug!" Chris said as they got their dishes and Topher gulped.
"Can I do it one teeny tiny bite at a time..." pleaded Topher as Courtney started eating her's.
"What's the matter... Your stomach not strong as mine..." taunted Courtney as Topher forced himself to eat but ended up barfing into it.
"The Killer Grips win!" Chris said as the Grips cheered with their golden shovel as the Gaffers just sighed at Topher.
"Still on a team with dead weight on it..." grunted Lightning.
Outside the prison there were 2 laundry carts for the teams; "Convicts... No get out of jail free cards here! Each team selects a pusher to push their team in the carts through the obstacle course to freedom! Get digging when you reach the wall and the first team to reach the box cart of freedom wins!" Chris told them.
"I volunteer to push with my strong arms!" Brady said to the grips and they pretty much wordlessly got into the cart.
"I could push yo..." Ezekiel said as he then was making flexing poses again and and Courtney snuck out and noticing this and Lightning shaking his head.
"I don't know why Lightning thought he could rival to you Lincoln; he doesn't have what it takes and the Gaffers do need to use their strongest member for a chance to win!" Courtney called out facing Lincoln and Dawn and Lightning heard this and glared. while gritting his teeth.
"In you losers go; I am doing it!" Lightning shouted pushing all of his team into the cart. Chef then gave the signal for them to go.
Brady was pushing past as the Gaffers were screaming inside their cart; Lightning was ahead as they were going past the obstacles but on the balancing beam Lightning ended up in his angry state being hit by a balancing beam and falling in.
Brady managed to get his team's cart to the wall and they all went out and started digging their hole. A wet lightning soon came and threw his team out of the carts. "Get to digging with your hands!" snapped Lightning as Topher ended up barfing again.
"I hate closed spaces and you pushing us... Was like that race challenge again..." grunted Gwen as Lincoln helped her up as the Grips finished their hole. Gwen smiled and Lincoln smiled at her.
"Sorry Gwen but my team needs me right now and it's not like Lightning can catch up with us!" Lincoln then called out as the Grips went through their hole and Lightning grunted as he went to pick up his team members with Gwen protesting over his shoulders as he went totry and scale the wall but fell down.
The Grips cheered as they reached the box cart with the Gaffers falling behind as they had to go through the wall looking down. "The Killer Grips win again and Gaffers; it's voting time!" Chris yelled as Lightning was furious and glared at his team as they glared back.
Lincoln and Dawn shared a look and went to Gwen; "Are you alright?" Lincoln managed to ask quietly as Gwen looked at him.
"I can tell that Courtney intentionally riled him up and you did help..." Gwen said as Lincoln looked guilty. Gwen just smiled as she pulled him closer "I know that you couldn't have guessed that he would do that but I hope that you both don't allow yourselves to go overboard with your alliance with Courtney." Gwen hugged him and then let go as Lincoln sighed.
"I don't deserve you both and I promise that I won't go overboard..." Lincoln swore as they let Gwen join the Gaffers.
"My alliance is going well but my teammates do have friends on the Gaffers but I believe that I can trust them to stay with me. Plus as long as Gwen doesn't become too much of a possible threat; I wouldn't suggest targeting her." Courtney said in the confessional.
"They can't vote me off... Can they? Because if they do then I can make things bad for them when I become the new host... As soon as the producers return my calls..." Topher said in the confessional.
The opening for the Elimination Ceremony played as Chris and Sammy were on the stage with the Gaffers on the seats. "Screaming Gaffers for the 2nd time you are at the Elimination Ceremony where all but 1 loser will get a Gilded Chris and will have to walk the Walk of Shame and ride the Lame-O-Sine!" Chris said and then coughed as they casted their votes. "Votes have been casted and... Gwen. Max. Ezekiel. Bridgette. Zoey." Chris said as Sammy threw the Gilded Chrises with Lightning and Topher looked at eachother. "The final Gilded Chris goes to... Topher!" Chris read as Lightning was open mouthed and Topher was cheering.
"In her face jock boy..." laughed Topher as Lightning glared at them as he got up and then walked the Walk of Shame and the rode the Lame-O-Sine silently.
"Lightning was a bit much but... Was voting off our strongest player the best?" Bridgette asked in the Confessional.
