The episode begins with Mike sleeping in the guys' cabin before he starts sleep talking… well it wasn't him who was sleep talking.
"These young whippersnappers and all their tomfoolery." Chester said angrily.
"C'mon keep it down Chester." Mike groaned in his sleep.
"Fine. For now." Chester relents before Mike went back to sleeping normally but little did anyone know, Cameron was wide awake in his sleeping bag and heard the whole thing.
Confessional: Cameron
"I had a hard time sleeping without my bubble at first but then I recreated it with my sleeping bag and I was out like a light. What an adventure." Cameron said wistfully before getting serious, "Anyway, I'm pretty sure there's more to Mike's characters than we know. I can't explain it but I will continue to research it."

Meanwhile Brick was seen jogging across the island towards the cabins.
Confessional: Brick
"As the only soldier of my team, I definitely have a winning edge. And now that Axel's gone, I'm hoping we can continue to grow despite her lack of presence." Brick smiled hopefully, "My only competition is probably Jo so it's good that we're on the same team."
Confessional Ends
We then see Brick running from the right of the cabins while Jo was running from the left, they didn't see each other as they ran however and ended up clashing into each other.
"Just did my morning 5k run. You?" Jo asked competitively.
"8k." Brick smirked.
"I mean I did a 8k warmup, then a 5k at a full sprint." Jo smirked back.
"Let's be honest. You're obviously lying." A nasally voice was heard from behind, Jo looked over to see that Scott had arrived at the scene with his signature smirk.
"Ugh. What do you want, dirt boy?" Jo asked angrily.
"Hey, chill out." Scott tried to placate the situation, "I'm not sure if you haven't noticed this, but we're probably the three strongest members of our team."
"…You got a point." Jo narrowed her gaze but couldn't argue with Scott's point.
"So I was thinking the three of us should team up and vote together if we end up losing challenges." Scott said happily.
"Huh, I like your mindset." Jo smirked at the dirt farmer, "What do you say Brick?"
"I can agree to that if it benefits the team." Brick smiled in acceptance.
Confessional: Scott
"And that's how you form an alliance." Scott chuckled, "So here's the deal. Sometimes I'm gonna let my team lose so the Rats develop a false sense of security before I pick 'em off."
Confessional Ends
"Up and at 'em my little morning glories. Your first challenge awaits." Chris said happily as he drove a red jeep near the remaining twenty-one contestants now gathered outside the cabins.
"What?! But Lightning hasn't had his DPA." Lightning said angrily.
"Huh?" Bowie raised an eyebrow.
"I'm guessing he means Daily Protein Allionment." Raj explains to the strategist.
"Yeah, duh" Lightning rolled his eyes in bafflement at Bowie's confusion.
"And I haven't had enough beauty sleep." Dakota complained as she was seen wearing sunglasses.
"C'mon, you still look-" Sam tried complimenting before Dakota removed her sunglasses to show her baggy red eyes, "Great Suns Of Orion!"
"You can catch up on your sleep after the challenge." Chris said happily before pointing left, "Right this way to the Bay Of Dismay!"
Everyone groaned while Dakota pulled out her phone, "Hey it's me, we're going to some Bay-"
However; a magnet tied to a fishing pole sprung and grabbed Dakota's phone as well as Julia and Sam's phone and GameGuy respectively.
"Contraband, that's mine. Confiscators Keepers." Chris sang mockingly much to their utter dismay, "C'mon. Your humiliation awaits."
We then see the twenty-one contestants walking together when Zoey began speaking, "Bay of Dismay? Yikes, it sounds like one of those fight locations in Total Warriors 2."
"You like action movies? If you're into ultimate kickboxing, I may have to marry you." Mike smiled jokingly, making Zoey snicker.
What they didn't notice was Bowie observing the two of them and rolling his eyes, "Puppy love. It's tooth decaying but adorable. Straight couples are so predictable." He muttered to himself.
"Why'd you say straight couples specifically?" Raj asked from behind.
"Oh, hey Raj." Bowie smiled lightly, "I just said that because I'm gay is all."
"You're gay?" Raj raised an eyebrow, "I didn't know that."
"Meh. I'm open about it, I just never felt the need to talk about it." Bowie shrugged.
"Huh… that's pretty cool." Raj smiled at Bowie, who smiled back.
We then see Cameron and Jo walking beside each other, "I hope this isn't another physical challenge. I prefer something more academic." The bubble boy admits fondly.
"I bet you do toothpick. I'm surprised that scrawny neck can even support your giant head." Jo rolled her eyes which caused Cameron to glare.
"My greatest strengths are mental." Cameron argued.
"Well your mental if you think you can win Total Drama without getting physical. Just stay out of my way." Jo scoffed before walking off only for Ripper to smirk as he walked by.
"Yeah nerd. You should stay out of my way too. There's only room for so many alfalfa males." Ripper flexed mockingly before joining the Jockette.
"So what do you think the next challenge is gonna be?" Anne Maria asked curiously.
All she got was silence from B before glaring at him, "You don't talk much do ya?" Anne Maria asked.
Confessional: B
He just shrugged.
Confessional Ends
"Welcome to the Getting To Know You Trivia game challenge." Chris said happily as he stood on a podium while the Toxic Rats and Mutant Maggots sat on bleachers, "Everyone strapped in all nice and snug?"
"Too snug." Scott grunted.
"It's cutting into my shoulders." Chase whined.
"Yeah, children sized harnesses will do that to ya." Chris chuckled, "I'll be asking our players embarrassing personal questions and I mean majorly humiliating. If the player presses the poorly wired buzzer and owns up to their humiliation by the time the time runs out, their team wins the point. The first team to three wins an advantage to the next challenge, but if no one owns up, this happens."
He then presses on a remote, lowering the Mutant Maggots into the water where they all held their breath and looked to see a shark with little arms and legs swam over to them and roared but thankfully they were sent right back up.
"There's some kind of two legged shark monster down there!" Millie said in horror.
"You mean Fang?" Chris laughed, "Yeah, it turns out toxic waste can mess with stuff underwater too. Who knew?"
Confessional: Millie
"This is so awful, but it's also gold." Millie said, clearly feeling contemplated as she wrote this down in her notebook.
Confessional Ends
"Anywho, if a team gets dunked, the opposing team can steal by guessing which dunkee is guilty. Guess right and your team gets a point, guess wrong, well I already demonstrated." Chris smirked, "Now that we understand the rules, let's begin. To the Rats, now listen carefully, who farted on their one and only date?"
Everyone on the Rats' team immediately began laughing hysterically but Sam was seen blushing in embarrassment, "Where did you get that?"
Sam pressed on the buzzer and got shocked much to his discomfort and once Dakota saw this, she stopped laughing immediately.
"Respect man." Ripper nodded proudly.
"To the Maggots, who wet their pants in the first and last day of school." Chris then turned to the Maggots.
"Whoa, one of us is a pants wetter?" Ripper guffawed.
Brick was visibly sweating nervously which Jo caught onto immediately.
"He who sweats it, wets it." Jo smiled knowingly, "Team before pride maggot."
Brick nervously pressed the buzzer and got shocked much to his discomfort, "Fine, it was me."
Scott and Ripper laughed hysterically when hearing that, while Mike and Zoey tried their best to hold in their laughter as well.
"And it is one-all." Chris said happily.
"Thanks Brick, I know that was probably hard." Priya said comfortingly.
"To the Rats, whose first name is really Beverly?" Chris asked.
"That's not an embarrassing question. Who cares if a girl's name is Beverly?" Chase scoffed.
However we see that Dawn, Dakota, Anne Maria, Emma, and Julia don't seem to care at all about the question asked but B was clearly nervous but pressed on the buzzer.
"Correct… Beverly." Chris smirked, "Alright Maggots, this one is big. Who here ended up recording a video of them vomiting hot peppers for a YouTube video."
"What moron would be stupid enough to do that?!" Jo asked incredulously while Chase sweated nervously but didn't press the button which Emma smirked at.
"Time's up!" Chris said happily before pressing on the remote, dunking the unfortunate Mutant Maggots.
We then see Fang roar and then snatch Scott with his mouth engulfing him in it as the Mutant Maggots rise back up.
"No! Wait for me!" Scott gurgled as he lifted Fang's mouth and swam out of it.
Confessional: Scott
We then see Scott pulling a white sharp triangle out of his butt before he looks to inspect it more, "What the, a shark tooth?"
Confessional: Fang
He takes one look at the mirror before seeing the gap in his teeth, he snaps the mirror in anger.
Confessionals End
Scott heaved a large breath and gasped for air as he returned to his spot on the bleachers.
"Thanks for leaving me down there." Scott snarked.
"Alright Rats, you could win the advantage right here. All you have to do is guess who did it." Chris said happily.
Emma whispered in Bowie's ear causing him to smirk before pressing on the buzzer, "It was Chase." The strategist smirked.
"Correct!" Chris smirked, "That's three points to one. The Rats win the first part of the challenge."
"Are you serious?!" Scott turned to Chase incredulously, "Your ex clearly knew it was you, why didn't you just own up to it?!"
"I-I didn't think she'd remember that…" Chase gulped as he lowered his head down the bleachers.
Confessional: Chase
"But man, Emma knows me so well." Chase smirked victoriously, "We're so gonna get back together in no time."
Confessional Ends
(After commercial break)
The episode continues with the contestants walking to the next section of the challenge, once again making conversation along the way.
"Thank goodness Chris ended the challenge before Chris could ask me an embarrassing question." Cameron spoke with relief.
"Lemme guess, who needs their diaper changed?" Jo snarked.
"I haven't worn a diaper since I was eleven." Cameron said angrily, but that only caused Chase, Ripper, Scott, and Jo to laugh even harder.
"The challenge is over. You don't need to keep humiliating yourself." Millie whispered emphatically.
"No please. Go on or does the baby need his bottle?" Jo asked with a mocking smile.
"I have just as much right to be here as you do. And I'll prove it in the next challenge." Cameron said confidently.
Confessional: Cameron
The confessional showed Cameron sucking his thumb before crying out, "Why did I say that? Why?!"
Confessional Ends
We then cut to Sam and Dakota walking together when Sam spoke up, "This is the longest I've ever gone without playing a video game. My hands feel so… empty."
"Chris is such a jerk. I could've sent like… six hundred texts by now." Dakota vented.
"Wow, we have a lot in common." Sam said happily.
"What do you mean?" Dakota asked in confusion.
"He means about the tech withdrawal. Trust me, you're nothing alike, otherwise." Julia smiles brightly as she passes by.
"Uh… thanks." Sam raised an eyebrow.
Little did they know, Bowie overheard this conversation and turned to the Hockey Bros, "Chris sure did a number on our team. He took Sam, Dakota, and Julia's devices away before the big game."
"Aw man, that stinks for them!" Wayne said sympathetically.
"For sure man. I don't know what I'd do without our lucky beards." Raj nodded.
"Lucky beards?" Bowie raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah. Wayner and I have fake beards that we wear whenever our favorite hockey players are at the playoffs." Raj smiled at the strategist.
"Huh, that's pretty funny. Not gonna lie." Bowie smiles back.
We then see the contestants at a muddy field when Chris speaks through the megaphone, "It's time for part two of today's challenge."
We then see that Chris was on a grassy field slightly above the mud, "The Mad Skills Obstacle Course. You'll first begin with a mad dash from the Kickstart, then it's off to the race against time that is the cannonball run, over to my personal favorite: Wrecking Ball Alley, the gangplanks provided with mutated beavers as well as the bouncy agony of Double Trouble and finally the Grand Slam where you'll use the ropes to swing across into the pitcher's glove while avoiding the deadly bats. Oh and as you remember, I said the winning team from part one gets a special advantage in part two."
"Yeah, and that was Team Lightning!" Lightning said jovially.
"Yes yes, that's great and all, but here's your surprise advantage… NOTHING." Chris said happily.
"Hold up. WHAT?!" Julia asked incredulously.
"Hold on Warrior Goddess, I'm not done yet. The reason you don't get anything is because I'm punishing the losers. The Maggots will have to wear snazzy specs as they run across."
Chase immediately put the glasses on and began complaining, "Hey, what's with these glasses? We won't be able to see anything in these."
"Exactly my point." Chris chuckled, "Competitors, choose where you're gonna send six of your teammates to compete in each section of the course."
We then cut to the Toxic Rats having a team meeting when Lightning spoke up, "Alright Team, Lightning's gonna start us off with the Kick Start. Who else is going?"
"I'll go on the cannonball run. I'd like to do anything to help the team." Dawn smiled brightly.
"I'll take Wrecking Ball Alley." Emma smirked confidently.
"I'll do the Gangplanks. I have great hand-foot coordination." Raj said happily.
"I'll do Double Trouble." Bowie followed up.
"And that leaves me with the Grand Slam." Dakota cut in before anyone could interrupt.
"Uh… are you sure about that?" Sam asked curiously.
"Oh believe me. I'm sure." Dakota nodded.
Confessional: Dakota
"I may or may not have a backup phone that I may or may not have used to call the paparazzi." Dakota snickered.
Confessional Ends
"Alright maggots. Here's how it's going to go." Jo said angrily, "I'll start us off on the Kickstart, Brick will do Cannonball Zone, Scott goes through Wrecking Ball Alley. Any other volunteers?"
"Ooh, I'll do the Gangplanks!" Priya waved her hand excitedly.
"And I'll do Double Trouble!" Chase smirked confidently.
"Alright bubble boy. It looks like you're doing the Grand Slam." Jo smirked at Cameron who paled when Jo mentioned him.
"Me?" Cameron whimpered.
"You said you'd prove yourself and now's the time to do it." Jo explained which caused Cameron to gulp.
We then cut to all six members of each team at each section of the obstacle course. The order was Lightning and Jo, Dawn and Brick, Emma and Scott, Raj and Priya, Bowie and Chase, and finally Dakota and Cameron.
"Alright. The first team to win the challenge wins the reward. The losers will send a team to elimination." Chris said happily, "Since it's a relay race. You need something to pass. And what better than your mascots?"
Two interns were seen handing a mutated rat to Lightning and a mutated maggot to Jo.
"And go." Chris said happily as the giant boot kicked Lightning in the butt but missed Jo, "And Lightning gets the boot."
Lightning was seen in the mud before the rat bit him in the butt much to his discomfort.
"And Jo takes an early lead." Chris narrates as Jo jumps through the boardwalk despite her limited vision due to the glasses.
"Here!" Jo then runs over and hands the maggot to Brick which then had green goop covered all over his face.
"Sir yes sir." Brick saluted before running off but then ran into a wooden pole… which he did again… and again.
We then see Lightning running through the boardwalk like it was nothing before posing next to Dawn, "Sha-bam!"
He then handed the rat to Dawn and said, "Go creepy girl, go."
Dawn immediately ran past Brick and looked in horror to see the cannons aiming down right at her.
"Anybody wanna swap?" Dawn gulped before the rat started chittering, "What's that? Duck now?"
Dawn did just that and a cannonball whizzed past her, but it ended up hitting Brick in the face.
"Doy." Brick smiled goofily as he fell to the floor.
Dawn was then seen panting as she finally got past the cannons and passed her rat to Emma.
"Yes! We're in the lead! Off I go!" Emma smiled before running onto the spinning log which she tried her hardest to balance on but was having trouble doing so.
Meanwhile Scott was nervously waiting for Brick to show up, "Quick. We're falling behind." Scott said worriedly before Brick finally crawled to him and held up the maggot, "Doy, here's your cat." The cadet said tiredly before passing out while Scott grabbed the maggot out of his hand and began running off with it.
"Nice and slow, all the way to first place." Scott slyly spoke as he easily stepped on the rolling log but soon he was hit by a wrecking ball and catapulted to the end of his part of the course and where Priya and Raj were waiting.
"Yes." Scott said woozily before handing the maggot to Priya, "Come on Priya."
Priya immediately jumped across the gangplank despite the beavers chewing but she was fast enough to avoid it.
Meanwhile Emma was hopping on her foot and trying to get across Wrecking Ball Alley so once she saw a wrecking ball swinging her way, she immediately jumped on it and swung on it.
Confessional: Emma
"There was one positive to dealing with Chase. And it's that he did keep me on my toes for some wicked stunts." Emma smirked at the camera.
Confessional Ends
"Hurry Raj!" Emma cried out before passing the rat to Raj who immediately began running and jumping across the gangplank but unfortunately unlike Priya, he wasn't fast enough to get past the plank the beavers were chewing on and fell into the mud.
Meanwhile, Priya had finally reached the end of the gangplanks and passed the maggot to Chase.
"Hurry, we're barely in the lead!" Priya ushered the YouTuber.
"Sheesh, hang on." Chase rolled his eyes before running off to where the bounce pads were and immediately jumped on top of them and then bounced to the end of the boardwalk where Cameron was waiting.
"Whoa. How did you do that?" Cameron asked in awe.
"I'm a YouTube prankster. This stuff comes naturally." Chase smirks before handing the maggot to Cameron, "Hurry. Go win it for us."
Raj was then seen climbing on top of the boardwalk before handing the rat to Bowie, "Here." He said weakly.
Bowie took the rat and pulled up Raj along with him, "Got it. Stay away from that mud now." He smirked playfully before running off, leaving Raj blushing.
Bowie was then seen tucking into the bouncing pads and immediately flew across the course and onto the end of the boardwalk to where Dakota was.
"Hurry Dakota." Bowie rushed the Fame Monger.
"Alright alright." Dakota groaned before running off where Cameron was at the ropes and smiled at the camera, "Well Dakota fans, it's time for me to win this thing."
Dakota tried swinging to the glove and just when she tapped her feet on it, she fell right into the mud. She looked around for a bit before finally screaming.
Cameron was next to swing but unfortunately for him, he ended up hitting one of the bats and painfully sliding off of one.
Dakota finally made it back to the boardwalk covered in mud when she was interrupted.
"Dakota! Over here!" An Italian voice was heard to which she looked up and saw that the paparazzi was on the hot air balloon, "Smile for us beautiful heiress."
"Finally." Dakota muttered under her breath before striking a pose, "Heyyyyyyyyy! You're just in time for my… mud bath."
"No! Ignore them! Swing! Swing!" Sam begged but it was fruitless as Dakota was still distracted as Cameron ran back to the course.
"Velocity times mass times windspeed…" Cameron gulped before swinging again as he closed his eyes. He expected to slam into a bat again but to his surprise he felt himself land on something soft. He opened his eyes to find himself on the pitcher's glove.
"I made it!" Cameron gasped in shock.
"The Maggots win!" Chris said happily which cause the nine Maggots at the starting line to start cheering while the Toxic Rats just groaned.
"To the maggots, Chris McLean Brand Shampoo and Conditioner, guaranteed to wash off the stink." Chris said happily.
"Stink." Brick said dizzily.
"Rats, see you at the elimination ceremony." Chris said with a smirk.
"Awwwwwwww." The Toxic Rats grunted before Lightning spoke up.
"I can't believe this! Lightning's on a team of losers!" Lightning stormed off furiously.
"Hey, come on now. Winning isn't everything." Sam said, trying to comfort the jock before Lightning turned to glare at the gamer.
"I'll shut up now." Sam sighed while Bowie just put a finger to his chin in contemplation.
We then cut to the Toxic Rats walking to the elimination ceremony. Dakota, Lightning and Raj were still covered in mud, Wayne was staring nervously at his friend, Anne Maria, B, Julia, and Dawn looked neutral, Sam looked worried in general, while Bowie stared in determination as they finally reached the campfire.
"Ready." Chris smiled as Chef stood next to him, "Toxic Rats, not a lot of teamwork going on today."
"Dakota, it's clear you're more into your entourage than the game. That might hinder your team going forward." Chef said in disappointment which caused Dakota to stop filing her nails and gulp in worry.
"Sam and Julia, it's clear your devices being taken away is causing a hindrance to your performance in challenges." Chef then spoke.
Sam and Julia just looked at each other in worry.
"Raj, you lost time for your team by being stuck with those beavers. Your team might not be so forgiving of that." Chef said sternly to which Raj rubs the back of his head nervously.
"Lightning, the way you talked down to everyone at the end of the challenge may not be resonating well with your teammates." Chef shook his head angrily.
Lightning's eyes widened at this new information.
"Alright. A marshmallow means you're safe. A toxic marshmallow of loserdom means you'll be taking the Hurl Of Shame." Chris said happily, "Emma, Dawn, Bowie, B, Anne Maria, Wayne, Raj, Sam, and Julia. You're all safe for another day."
Lightning and Dakota looked at each other nervously as Chris smirked at the two contestants, "And the last marshmallow goes to…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Lightning."
"Sha-bam!" Lightning smirked and popped the marshmallow in his mouth while Dakota gasped in horror.
"What?! No! This has to be a mistake! I didn't get my own spin-off series yet. Nooooooooooooo!" Dakota ran off to the Hurl Of Shame in despair while Sam hung his head low.
Confessional: Sam
"Man, I can't believe Dakota's gone. I was ready to ask her out and get turned down all season." Sam sighed miserably.
Confessional: Bowie
"I originally thought about targeting Lightning but with two losses over the Maggots' one loss, we need the strength. So Lightning can stay… for tonight." Bowie narrowed his eyes.
Confessional Ends
We then see that Dakota was in the cup of the Hurl Ot Shame when Chris began asking, "Any final words?"
"Um, yeah." Dakota said angrily, "First of all-"
She was flung before she could say anything else.
"It was a rhetorical question. Three players down and twenty more contestants are left. Stay tuned to find out who will survive and who will fly across the sky on Total! Drama! Revenge Of The Island!" Chris said happily.
Author's Note: I did think about cutting many players out of the competition but ultimately Dakota was the best choice to eliminate since her arc can continue with the intern arc in which she will NOT MUTATE. But for now, we say goodbye to Dakota.
Toxic Rats: Anne Maria, B, Bowie, Dawn, Emma, Julia, Lightning, Raj, Sam, Wayne
Mutant Maggots: Brick, Cameron, Chase, Jo, Millie, Mike, Priya, Ripper, Scott, Zoey
