The AfterMath logo popped up with a bright flash. The screen turned white as the camera panned over the AfterMath peanut gallery, with Duncan, Alejandro, Geoff, and Cameron being added to the booth. Then the camera panned over to the hosts, sitting on the couch talking to each other.
Leshawna noticed the camera and smiled. "And we're back! Before the commercial break, we talked to Alejandro, Cameron, Duncan, and Geoff! Now, we have the girls to interview! Jo, Kitty, and Sky!"
"Jo was eliminated in Episode 10!" Beth exclaimed. "She had a very… strategic run and could easily be compared to Season 1 Heather! Let's see Jen's rundown of Dosed With Melatonin!"
"Okay, now let's talk about the drama filled episode 10! The question is, who isn't in hot waters on the Running Roosters? So, let's break it down. After waking up in the same bed, Sammy and Dawn were questioned by Courtney and Jo about what the heck had happened the night before. Sammy and Dawn told them that it was only innocent, and then after Jo threatened to expose their fragile relationship, Dawn let out all the blackmail that she already knew about the three, blackmailing them into silence. This caused Dawn to storm away and Courtney go make things right with Scott. At night, the contestants played a fun little game of Never Have I Ever on the beach, afterwards, they all took an unplanned night swim. While the others were drying off, Dawn and Sammy came to the beach and had their first big fight. Jasmine tried to solve it, but once everyone was at the beach, Chris unleashed the challenge. He tricked them into eating sleepy pills and gummies and then set them stuffed them into cages on the island. The challenge was to find each other and then to find Chris! While the challenge was going on, Sky and Jo did a little talking in the confessional. They were discussing their plan to take out everyone else on the team. Little did they know that Sammy not only heard every word, but she RECORDED the entire conversation. Once the whole team group had finally grouped together, Sammy played the recording and the Running Roosters were so mad, that they decided to quit the challenge! Leaving the Goats and the Catfish fighting for the win. Meanwhile, on the Catfish team, Lindsay stumbled out of the wood with scratches and bruises on her body. She passed out in front of Emma and Heather and LOST her memory! This caused the Crying Catfish to team up and to look for help instead. On their way to the main lodge, they ran into the Giggling Goats who had an idea of where Chris and Chef were. They all headed to the main lodge together, tying in the challenge! Before the ceremony, Jo stumbled upon an idol in the forest. Later that night, she took that idol and stuffed it under her blanket. And then you have Sammy and Dawn who were finally talking to each other. They decided that they wanted to become an official couple, and kissed once again, with sparks shooting from their hearts. At the ceremony, Jo and Sky were the bottom two, not to anybody's surprise. Jo had the most votes and it looked like she was a goner. But then Jo told Chris about the idol she had back in the cabin. Dawn stopped her though! Showing that she had STOLEN the idol from JO and then continued to read it. Turns out the idol was a TWIST idol! Where Jo was still eliminated, and Dawn could force Sky onto the Catfish team! And so, she did! The end of this episode was not only satisfying, but confirmed a relationship, to Heather's support, that was very obvious from the start! Go Sawny!"
"She came onto the show, with the whole game ahead of her! With Sky's help, she made an alliance with her and Sugar! All three of them took out Shawn and then Jo and Sky continued to take out Sugar, expose Courtney's relationship, and threatened to expose Sammy and Dawn waking up in the same bed! But she was soon taken down with the whole team throwing the challenge after Sammy exposed them both and Dawn stole her idol, which was worthless anyway." Beth explained. "Please welcome… Jo!"
The audience booed, but grew silent as Jo didn't walk out.
"Please welcome Jo!" Beth yelled as the audience booed again.
Don began to talk in his ear piece. "She's gone!?"
Everyone gasped in unison, with Sugar clapping in the background.
"Good riddance to that trash!" Sugar exclaimed.
"Well, what do we do now?" Tom asked.
"Uhm… Sanders, MacArthur!" Don reacted quickly as they ran up onto the stage.
The audience cheered as they waved for a quick second.
"I need you to go track her down and bring her back to the studio. We're going to bring in the electric chair." Don explained, getting a nod from MacArthur.
"Is that legal?" Sanders asked. "We are cops, you know!"
"Better if you don't ask questions." Don said. "Besides, if the chair doesn't get her, then the electric fence around this property will."
"Electric fence?" MacArthur questioned. "Since when was that installed?"
"It's always been there." Leshawna said. "There's a remote that Chris had. We found it, supplied batteries, and now it's in those couch cushions."
"Well, let's go get that little boy!" MacArthur exclaimed.
"Wait!" Brody yelled. "Be careful out there!"
"Don't worry sweet cheeks, these glutes can take care of themselves." MacArthur said.
"My god…" Sanders commented with an eye roll, leading MacArthur out of the set.
"Well, with the AfterMath security on a hunt to find Jo, let's check in on Kitty and Sky in the greenroom!" Don said.
The screen popped up with Kitty and Sky looking out of a broken window in the greenroom. They were leaning up against the couch, with Kitty poking at the glass still on the window seal.
"Girls!" Leshawna began. "Can you hear us?"
Kitty and Sky turned around and looked at the camera. From the greenroom, they could see the AfterMath live from the little television in the room.
"Yeah!" Kitty replied. "Loud and clear."
"Can you explain what just happened in there?" Don asked.
"Uh, well we were sitting here and Jo kept throwing stuff in the room." Sky explained. "She was, quite literally, throwing a tantrum over being interviewed."
"One of Chris's Gemmie Awards flew into the window, and Jo saw an opportunity to leave." Kitty said. "She forgot how far down the drop was, and panicked on her way down. She landed on her knee pretty bad and began limping away."
"Okay," Beth replied as the screen went away. "With Jo on the run and Sanders and MacArthur after her, let's switch gears and interview Kitty! Here's Tom with episode eleven's rundown! Putting On An Act!"
"How's it going, TDU fam? It's Tom and I'm here with the scoop of Episode eleven's Putting On An Act! This episode has a couple of blindsides, but a pretty calming episode to say the least. After Dawn switched Sky onto the Catfish team, Courtney got to thinking that maybe they should actually replace her, and get a Catfish handed over. After talking amongst themselves, the Rooster decided that Carrie was the best person to have switched over. Before the challenge, Carrie was officially switched over and was forced to say her final goodbyes. For the challenge, Chris wanted the teams to write and perform a scene that had to include a kiss! This kiss had to be done by two contestants who weren't dating and had not previously dated! With that, they were off to perform. After a couple of hours of writing and practicing, it was finally time for the shows to start! But before they began, Chris brought out the four guest judges! Anne Maria, Max, Dave, and Eva! With Sky and Dave still being on bad terms, Dave knew he'd target her if he found out which team she was on, so she got to quick thinking! She pulled him over to the side and talked to him. Then she slipped it into the conversation that she was switched from the Running Rooster's team to the GIGGLING GOATS team! Dave fell for it and the Giggling Goats scored the lowest, due to Dave's low score! Sky seemed quite pleased with herself, as her goal was to make it at least another episode ahead of Jo! The kisses for the play were between Mike and Sammy, Emma and Trent, and most importantly Jazelle and Lightning! Jazelle caught feelings for Lightning after this kiss and let's just say that we sorta saw something between them. Before the ceremony, Kitty and Emma were sitting on the dock, catching up. But after some playful pushing, Emma fell overboard into the water! Kitty dove in after her, rescuing her onto the beach. Jasmine, Sammy, and Dawn came to the rescue and promised to keep the secret of what happened. At the ceremony, Kitty was eliminated from the team after once again, Blaineley targeted her! Kitty was robbed in our eyes! But is this karma from Noah's elimination? All we can say is that we're sad to see her go."
"She was eliminated after yet again, another one of Blaineley's strategic moves!" Leshawna began. "She rescued her sister from drowning and caused Noah's elimination! Please welcome the Instagrand softie herself, Kitty!"
Kitty walked out, with the audience giving her a full applause. The screen showed Noah clapping as well, probably the loudest out of the room.
"Welcome, Kitty!" Don greeted. "It's great to see you again!"
"Thank you," Kitty responded. "It's great to be here, aside from the part about being eliminated and all that."
"Well, we really enjoyed seeing your gameplay through the season!" Beth said. "You brought so much to us, even if you weren't always the center of attention."
"Well thank you," Kitty thanked. "I really enjoyed being on the show. It wasn't a bad experience for me at all."
"Who is your favorite person on the island that you just met?" Don asked.
"Ooo! That has to be a tie between DJ and Jazelle! DJ is so sweet and makes sure that he fights for us when he has the chance. Then Jazelle is for one, so pretty! And she's very talented with makeup. But outside of that, we connected really well on the team and had a pretty deep conversation with each other," Kitty said.
"Who do you hate on the island?" Leshawna asked.
"Well, the thing about that is I'm not a hateful person. You know? Like, I hold don't grudges and I didn't really hate anybody there," Kitty explained. "But, if I had to choose someone, I'd probably just go with Jo. I didn't interact with her, but she was cruel to the others and Sky and her ganged up on Courtney."
"I'm sorry, but that's like the funniest thing to me." Jen blurted.
"What is?" Don questioned.
"Just how Kitty pulled out her phone during the fight and recorded it!" Jen exclaimed. "Totally something that needed to be done."
"Yeah, you know when you get the perfect opportunity to take a really nice photo? Well it was kind of like that, except it was just Sky, Courtney, and Jo slapping each other repeatedly," Kitty laughed.
"So, you and Sky seemed cool in there, with each other at least," Beth observed. "Did you not know why you were eliminated?"
"Uh, well I found out a little bit ago. But I'm not upset with her," Kitty said.
"Why not?" Leshawna questioned.
"Well, in all fairness, I was the reason why Noah was eliminated. So do I have any room to talk about someone else causing my team to lose? It's silly," Kitty explained.
"Speaking of Noah," Don began, turning to the peanut gallery. "Let's say 'hi' to him!"
Noah waved at the camera as the audience applauded. "Hi Kitty!"
"Hi Noah! Once again, I'm so sorry." Kitty apologized.
"Don't sweat it! I'm just upset that you were eliminated!" Noah said.
"Why?" Kitty asked.
"Because you would've been splitting the money with me if you won it!" Noah joked.
Kitty nodded her head. "Got it. Next time if I rig you out, I must at least win the money."
"What a fast learner you are!" Noah clapped.
"Well thank you for coming onto the show," Leshawna thanked. "It was truly, so nice to meet you!"
"Thanks!" Kitty said. "You guys have been really sweet to me."
Don smiled as he looked at the camera. Kitty was seen walking around the hosts to get the peanut gallery. "So let's take a quick look at the wild goose chase with Jo! Last time Jo was seen, she jumped out the window and damaged her knee on the way down! Sanders and MacArthur were sent out to find her and it looks like they've spotted her! Let's take a look!"
The screen popped up with MacArthur running off screen and Sanders slowly walking after her.
"Hello, lady cops!" Don greeted. "What's going on out there?"
"MacArthur spotted her and is now chasing her towards the fence." Sanders sighed.
"Towards the fence?" Don asked. "Does Jo know that it'll electrocute her?"
"MacArthur doesn't want to tell Jo." Sanders said. "She's bad cop, obviously."
The screen panned over to MacArthur, who was chasing after Jo. "Better not to tell her. Let her face the consequences of running from me."
"Okay," Don said as the screen went back to the AfterMath studio.
"She's reached the fence!" Sanders declared as she quickly moved in as MacArthur's back up.
Jo began to climb up, feeling the shock on her palms. "Ouch! Son of a-"
MacArthur ran up to her, grabbing her from the back of her jacket, dragging her to the ground.
"You're so dramatic…" Sanders sighed.
Jo grunted as she kicked her good leg at MacArthur. Sanders ran up and stopped her leg, forcing her still.
MacArthur sat above her and put a pair of handcuffs on her.
"Why do you have those?" Sanders asked.
"I always have them! Never know when you might need 'em," MacArthur winked.
Sanders rolled her eyes as they helped Jo to her feet. Don's voice was heard through their walkies.
"Good job, guys! See you when you get back." he exclaimed.
MacArthur nodded, "Meet you there."
Jo groaned. "Ugh, you smell like rotting ham."
MacArthur laughed at her. "Those are my sweating glutes. Sweet smell of hard working!"
The screen popped back up to the studio.
"Well, with Jo on her way, let's knock out Sky's interview!" Leshawna exclaimed. "Let's see her rundown!"
"Hey guys! So the last Episode that we'll cover today is episode 12! Turning Into The Person You Hate! Ooo! So spicy! At the beginning of this episode, Heather wakes up and screams out DJ's first name, Devon! With doing so, she woke up Bridgette! Bridgette asked her why she screamed out Devin's name, but still knew who it really was after Heather said she doesn't even talk to him. We later find out in a conversation with Scott, that Heather had a dream about getting married and it shook her up! Put 2 and 2 together and it seems like Heather had a dream about getting married to DJ! Bridgette, still knowing something was up, went to go talk to DJ. She asked the giant softie if Heather had ever tried to hurt him, and that's when the soft DJ turned not so soft. He demanded for her to leave and so, she did. For the challenge, the contestants had to slide down a very long, greasy raft, then go up the sticky ladder, slide down the slide, and slide back! It was a relay race that had 8 rounds! The winner was the Running Roosters with Courtney going her second round, and the Crying Catfish in last place due to Gwen throwing the challenge for Courtney. After hearing Courtney and Gwen's deal, Zoey decided to get in Gwen's head, whether or not her friendship with Courtney is actually too stable. Maybe we'll see more Courtney and Gwen beef? During the challenge, Sky took a tour to Sammy and Dawn to apologize for her actions previous to Jo's elimination. They accepted her apology and so did Courtney and Scott after she apologized to them as well! After the challenge, Bridgette went back to talk to DJ about what happened earlier that day. But when she went in, HEATHER surprised her in the kitchen! DJ had obviously told her about what happened and she was nothing short of confronting Bridgette! She has a meltdown about how she's been trying to be a better person, but everyone on the team is painting her as the bad guy! While balling her eyes out, DJ came back into the kitchen and began comforting her, without even LOOKING and Bridgette! At the ceremony, Sky was eliminated with a unanimous vote! She was happy that she was able to make amends with her fellow contestants and was ready to face the judgemental aftermath! Ouch! But before she went, she just had to throw shade at the Crying Catfish, saying that they're all about talking smack behind her back! She also thanked Chris for being such a douche as usual! She might have had a rough season, but she's picking up the pieces with her head held up high!"
"She came in second in Pahkitew island and 23rd place in Ultimate! Her alliance caused her downfall, but she soon made up with her rivals! Please welcome Sky!" Beth announced.
Sky came out with a genuine grin on her face.
The majority of the audience booed, with a couple stand out applauding.
"Sky, welcome to the Aftermath!" Don greeted. "You played a strategic but messy game with Jo and a little bit of Sugar, so we can't wait to dissect everything from your strategies."
Sky nodded. "I'm going to be an open book. I really want everyone to meet the true and genuine me, before Jo tries to talk for me. So please, go and ask any questions."
Don opened his mouth to speak, but Dave had beat him to the punch.
"What do you mean by genuine? I didn't know that was something in your vocabulary." Dave blurted.
"Well, I'm sorry if you don't think I'm genuine. I understand that I lied to you in the challenge, but I knew that you would've just targeted my team if you knew which team I was on. Which I was right about. And after everything that happened with me and my old team, I couldn't pin another elimination to them." Sky responded.
"What about everything before that? Like last season?" Dave questioned.
"Look, I made a point to myself that I wasn't going to let boys get in the way of the game. And for Keith, who I already knew you would bring up, my personal life outside of the game isn't your business if we're not a thing! I broke up with him and if you want to make yourself miserable by not believing me, then that's on you!"
"And the squashed Dave gets bulldozed once again!" Topher declared off screen.
"Did you ever care about me?" Dave asked. "You're so heartless, aren't you?"
"Shut up Dave!" Sky yelled as she shot up to her feet. "You're a manipulative, psychopathic, cry baby who tried to kill me after I rejected you! If you think I'm heartless, then you obviously have never looked in the mirror!"
Dave jumped down from the booth. "I'm done with this!" He yelled as he stormed off the stage and passed the crowd.
"Okay then…" Leshawna began. "Well since you don't mind, we're going to dive right into the brutal questions."
Sky nodded and sat back down.
"So, when you teamed up with Jo and Sugar, were you planning on tearing the team down?" Leshawna asked.
"Well I was just trying to get Sugar and Jo to stop bickering at first. I knew from the past that Sugar was a decently strong player, and could possibly get Jo out. But since Jo is strong too, I figured if they made up, we could have a strong female alliance. It started off with a few arguments between them, but then Jo wanted to blackmail Courtney with the information she knew. So I got wrapped up in that mess and I stood my grounds with Courtney when I needed to. Including the fight."
"What did you think about exposing Dawn and Sammy?" Beth questioned.
"I thought it was cruel. I was against it, but I knew that if I disobeyed Jo, she'd find some way to target me out. Sammy and Dawn were actually very forgiving of me and it's something that I really appreciated."
"But if you didn't do anything, then why did you apologize to them?" Don asked.
"It was still something I was sorry about. If I really wanted to, I could've stopped Jo and Courtney in their tracks. But I just sat back and didn't do anything. Besides, if Dawn had to go to the lengths to get me off the team, that shows that I had an effect on them."
Ella stood up, to the shock of everyone. "Um, yes, I'd like to know whose idea it was to eliminate Sugar. It was very mean, after she was loyal to you both."
"That was my idea," Sky admitted. "But, Jo didn't have a problem with it. She understood the game move and helped me complete the task."
"Well, I'm not to use mean language, but that was a very foolish move if you wanted a strong female alliance! Just saying." Ella noted as she sat back down.
Sugar hugged her as Sanders and MacArthur busted back into the studio.
Don quickly escorted Sky over to the peanut gallery as Crimson and Ennui made a brief appearance, rolling in the electric chair.
"NO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!" Jo yelled as Sanders and MacArthur hauled her over to it, and strapped in her arms and legs.
MacArthur lowered the headpiece onto Jo as Sanders stood by with her arms crossed.
"This is still completely ridiculous!" Sanders exclaimed. "How are you getting away with this?"
"Lawsuits go straight to Chris." Beth smiled. "We're in the clear. He isn't."
Don, Beth, and Leshawna stood on both sides of Jo, preparing to read the questions, written beforehand.
"Of course the freaks brought out the electric chair! What are you supposed to be? Vampires?" Jo questioned.
Loki, who was in Crimson's palms, jumped onto Jo's lap. He sniffed her hoodie, and then scratched the right side of her face, causing a few blood streaks.
"WHAT THE HECK!?" Jo yelled as Loki jumped back into Crimson's arms.
"Don't talk bad about us." Ennui told her. "Or else Loki will get you."
"And he barely did anything." Crimson scoffed. "Don't be such a baby."
"Actually, change of plans!" Don exclaimed. "Let's have the peanut gallery ask the questions. They obviously hate you and the electrocution will make for higher ratings."
"Ratings," Leshawna began. "Don't you hate them?"
"Okay, let's have six people come up from the gallery!" Beth began. "Sugar, Sky, Mama DJ, Noah, Jen, and Shawn!"
"Woowee!" Sugar hollered as she jumped down from the booth. "It's payback time!"
Jo closed her eyes as the six of them walked up.
"Sugar, you go first!" Leshawna exclaimed.
Sugar nodded and walked up to her.
"I thought we had completely made up." Sugar said. "How come you helped Sky take me out of the game?"
"How come Sky wasn't put in the electric chair?" Jo asked.
"Don't dodge the questions," Beth began. "Dodging equals shocking."
Jo rolled her eyes. "I helped her because you annoyed me and it was a good idea that came out of her tiny tiny brain!"
"Very bold of you to say while strapped in an electric chair." MacArthur noted. "But you do you, cupcake!"
"Don't call me cupcake!" Jo yelled, resulting in Don shocking her.
"What the hell!" Jo screamed.
Don ignored her and continued with the questioning. "Sky! Your turn to ask the question!"
Sky walked up to Jo.
"No! Get away from me!" Jo yelled. "I hate you! Get back! Now!"
Sky stepped away. "Um, so how have you been?"
"How have I been? HOW HAVE I BEEN? I'm strapped in an electric chair, which is where you should be right now, you bottom feeding…"
Don shocked her again. "I would stop yelling if I were you."
Jo sighed as Sky walked away and Mama DJ walked up.
"Hi, ma'am!" Jo greeted as she walked up to her. "H-how are you today?"
Mama DJ slapped her. "For Sammy and Dawn." she simply said as she walked away.
A single tear began to well up in Jo's left eye.
"Noah! It's your turn!" Beth said.
Noah walked up to her. "I'm not sure why I'm up here but, why were you so against Courtney?"
Jo grew silent and didn't answer, forcing Don to shock her again.
"Enough!" Brick yelled as he jumped down from the booth. "I can't take this!"
He walked up to Don, grabbing the remote control for the chair and crushing it with his hand.
"I won't sit here and watch you abuse her like this!" Brick yelled as he pushed through and unstrapped Jo's arms and legs.
He helped her up. Her legs were both stiff but wobbly as she used him to maintain balance.
He walked her over, off the set. Leaving everyone else in shock and silence.
"What just happened?" Kitty asked.
Brick stomped back up the stairs of the set. "I'll tell you what happened! Sky came up with an idea for the alliance and to take Sugar out! But Jo had already known that Sky was planning on dumping her as well! Which Sky said she didn't want a final two with her, so Jo took charge and got leverage over Sky, forcing her to have to get some leverage over the others! Jo had the idea to blackmail Courtney, while trying to help Sky! Sky was the one who recorded Courtney's confession and played it for Scott, though! Then while talking about taking the whole team out, it was Sky's idea for the order, and Sammy recorded it! Jo and Sky are both at fault here and you keep abusing JO! The fight broke out with Sky slapping Courtney, and Jo went in there to help! You all don't see what's going on here!"
Everyone stood in silence as Brick walked over to Sky. "And you keep saying that you can't speak for Jo, acting like she's the worse one! You were the one who made the alliance to take out Sugar! Everything else, except for the Sammy and Dawn exposure, had you BOTH at equal fault, and you have more fault when it came to Sugar! Stop lying to everyone!"
"I already apologized to them!" Sky noted. "They're not mad at…"
"You had the chance to apologize! Then you took yourself out so the others didn't realise that Jo was the better one out of you two! Of course Sammy and Dawn accepted your apology, you didn't have that idea, I'll give you that! But Courtney and Scott were so skeptical because they were still onto you! Besides, you didn't apologise to Jo or Sugar! The people who you wrapped up into this mess! Stop pretending that you're so much better, when you're not!"
"And Sky takes a brut…"
"Shut up, Topher!" Sky yelled. "Yes, I did those things! But I've fessed up to all of it!"
"NO! You fessed up to only half of it, but Jo is getting all the blame!" Brick corrected her. "I want you to apologize to Jo! Right now!"
"No way!" Sky yelled. "That's completely absurd! She has to apologize to me as well!"
"No! That's where you're the most wrong! Jo has taken her punishment! She's to the point where she can't even walk, while you're strutting as if you didn't do a thing!"
Sky sighed. "But… I…"
"There's the true Sky, everyone!" Brick announced to the crowd.
Sky walked off set, as a camera man followed her. She walked to the greenroom, where Jo was taken back to lay down.
Sky sat beside her on the couch.
Jo had her eyes closed, but still listened to her.
"I'm so sorry. I should have never dragged you into this mess and you shouldn't be getting all the fault here. We took it way too far, but you're the one having trouble rising above everything." Sky said as she began to cry. "And I'm so sorry for all of it, truly."
Jo opened her eyes and sat up. She looked over to Jo and HUGGED her!
"I just wanted to be treated like a human again." Jo said.
Sky nodded and rubbed Jo's back as they continued to hug. "I know, and I'm sorry I painted you as a monster. You didn't deserve it all."
Jo backed away from the hug and smiled. "Thank you for coming back here."
Sky smiled back at her. "I'd thank Brick, rather than me. He obviously cares a lot about you."
Jo nodded. "I'll talk to him, but I just want to be in here right now."
"Okay." Sky responded. "I'll get out."
Jo laid back down and looked over at Sky as she headed towards the door. "You can stay in here, it's fine with me."
Sky smiled and sat back down on the couch as the screen closed, going to commercial break.
"Anybody have any questions for Sky?" Beth asked.
