Total Drama World Tour Deluxe
Chapter 5: Broadway, Baby!
Guest A: 1. That could happen... 2. They weren't taking a break from their relationship, they were putting some physical distance between them so that they wouldn't be tempted to make out again. 3. Can't disagree there. 4. Thanks! 5. Izzy was just never a character I could relate to. While she says some funny things, she always seemed to make other people uncomfortable, which I never liked.
Cody Fanatic: Yeah, I guess it was unkind of Gwen to leave Bridgette behind. And yes, I cut out a scene or two of Sierra being obnoxious to make room for other scenes.
Guest B: Okay then...
Crosshot: I'm so sorry, man. I really underestimated people's reactions to Bridgette leaving. Heather didn't know what Cody was planning ahead of time, but she did take advantage of it in order to torment Gwen.
lordgemini: You love to hate the Alejandro-Bridgette kiss? Interesting way of putting it. Thanks for your input.
LaCuevademisgustos: Thank you!
The Riverian: 1. I don't recall what you're talking about... 2. Sure. 3. I'm sorry? 4. Because it's a cartoon world and it's Izzy. 5. Maybe so!
AnonBrowser: Less sympathetic, you say? I hardly see a difference in attempting to kiss someone regardless of whether or not the kiss connects or not. After all, she already cheated in her heart. But maybe that's just me. As for that theory of Noah having a crush on Bridgette, that's quite interesting, and yes, I can buy that Noah might have had a minor crush on her, given that everyone likes her (according to Duncan). Not a major one though, because in the Ridonculous Race, he turns into a drooling idiot upon acquiring a serious crush on Emma. As for Geoff, he's sure in for a nasty surprise. I'm glad you like what I did with Eva. She was a character I always saw potential in.
As for Search And Do Not Destroy, I will admit it's not a perfect episode, but really, it's the Gwent moments that really make me happy. Was Trent's elimination unfair? Of course! Was it poorly planned? Not exactly. I would have loved to have Trent stick around longer, from a narrative perspective, but it made sense to eliminate him there, as it had provided more of a challenge for Gwen to reach the finale, made her summon more strength and resolve. Sure, an unfair elimination makes an episode hard to watch, but it doesn't automatically kill it for me.
As for Duncan and Trent bonding, I did hear that it said in his official bio, that Trent was planning on buying a motorcycle if he won TDI.
AJustice90: It's a possibility.
Derick Lindsey: I think Gwen would want to put everything that happened in TDA behind her.
MDReborn: Yes, I intend to fill up every reward challenge with an elimination.
Guest C: I understand.
Gucci Mane LaFlare: Yeah, perhaps I could have had Bridgette go a little further. The girl's an okay character for me at best.
TotalPizza: Gwen is most upset at Bridgette out of all those who defected to Owen's side because Bridgette had the most significant bond with her. As for Duncan, he was on Owen's side to begin with. So he didn't have to defect, which was the main thing Gwen was angry about.
Grendel Symbiote: Thank you.
amit avrashmi: How would anyone learn about the kiss? Only Alejandro knows how Bridgette got stuck to the pole, as he's certainly not gonna tell anyone!
Rockin' D-99: Yeah, I'm sorry. Like I said, I really underestimated people's reactions to eliminating Bridgette. We'll see what happens with Geoff.
romeoaifesili: Gwen might let it go. Then again, she might not.
WeirdAlfan101: Who knows?
"Last time on Total Drama World Tour!" Chris narrated. "The Yukon! Canada's frozen gem! Here, our competitors discovered the thrill of ice floe jumping, the chill of dog-sledding, and the buzzkill of frigid romance! Eva proved that she's forced to be reckoned with when she hulked her sled out of the gorge! And in the end, Bridgette said goodbye after falling into a trap set by Alejandro, and no one on Team Amazon seemed to be interested in helping her. The Yukon! Live the adventure! Where will we dump our remaining competitors next? Find out right now! On Total… Drama… World Tour!"
After the theme song, we cut to First Class, residence: Team Minotaur.
"Alright! Back in First Class, where we belong!" Duncan exclaimed, eating his oatmeal with Trent, Tyler, and Alejandro.
"We deserve it!" said Trent.
Eva and Izzy were getting massages. The latter looked as though she were in Heaven, so much so that she had forgotten her fear of flying. The former looked disappointed.
"Harder, man! Harder!" Eva demanded. The masseuse amped up his massages, but Eva still failed to achieve the same level of pleasure as the other female Minotaur.
"Awww… That's the spot…" Izzy moaned in pleasure. "Eva, isn't this the best?"
"I've never had a massage that I really enjoyed." Eva sighed. "No offense, dude."
The sound of snoring caught Izzy's attention. She looked over to the loveseat. Owen was sleeping soundly. He was also wrapped up in ropes, binding his arms to his sides. The previous night, Alejandro did not want to deal with Owen freaking out anymore and Trent needed a break from playing his guitar all night. So they, with Duncan and Eva's help, put him to sleep with a Vulcan neck pinch, tied him up, and threw him on the loveseat.
"Aw, look at Big O!" Izzy cooed. "He's so adorable when he's all tied up and helpless!"
Coincidentally, Owen rolled off the loveseat right then, revealing that he had been sleeping on Noah all night.
"Ugh! Finally!" the bookworm cried, gasping for air. "Thanks for not noticing I was missing all night! Who am I, Tyler?!"
"Hey!" cried the jock, indignantly. The rest of the team burst into snickers, further angering Tyler.
Meanwhile, in Economy…
The members of Teams Amazon and Victory were not enjoying themselves. There was no heating or air-conditioning in Economy, so it brought no escape from the elements. Everyone was in their winter clothes. Those who had fallen for Chris's prank and had done the Yukon challenge in their swimwear or had fallen into the river were wrapped in blankets. Katie and Sadie had huddled up together for most of the night, and Sierra had done the same with Cody against his wishes.
"Stupid Economy section!" Heather griped. "What is that horrible smell?!"
"Defeat?" Gwen guessed.
"I could have pulled the sled faster if someone wasn't whipping me!" Courtney stated angrily, leering at the queen bee.
"We both know that's not true!" said Heather. Courtney scoffed.
"First chance we get, I'll totally help you vote her off!" the goth offered.
"Gladly!" the CIT responded gratefully. "Can we whip her off?!"
Confessional: Heather
"'Whip me off?' Ha! Not likely! I have Sierra, Katie, and Sadie on my side! That's half the team! Of course, I will have to nurture this alliance, so they don't end up turning on me like Beth did in Season One."
End Confessional
After leaving the confessional, Heather singled out her alliance.
"This will warm you up in no time!" Sierra told Cody, giving him a foot rub. Against his wishes, of course. "And from now on, whenever you get cold feet… (sighs dreamily) you'll think of me!"
"No kidding…" Cody muttered, extremely uncomfortable.
"You guys are so cute together!" Sadie cooed.
"Totally!" Katie agreed.
"Hey, girls!" Heather greeted pleasantly. "Did I ever tell you how much I value your friendship?"
"Not really…" Katie pointed out.
"Well, I value you, Heather!" said Sierra. "Hug?"
"Okay…" Heather muttered weakly, as though she would rather do anything else. She awkwardly hugged the fangirl, and the BFFFLs joined in.
"There! Friendship cemented!" said Heather, and she turned to walk back to her seat.
"Oh, not yet, Heather!" said Katie, grabbing the queen bee's wrist. A sinister grin came across her face.
"Yeah!" said Sadie, an evil smile coming across hers as well. "You want our loyalty? You'll have to earn it!"
"What did you have in mind?" Heather asked with mild dread.
"MAKEOVER!" cried the BFFFLs. They dragged a frightened-looking Heather into the Economy changing stall, with Sierra following, much to Cody's relief.
Meanwhile, Leshawna crossed over from Team Victory's side over to Team Amazon's to talk with Gwen.
"Hey, girlfriend. How's it goin'?" she asked.
"Going fine. Heather hasn't read my diary or stolen my boyfriend away from me this season. Yet."
"Well, I'm sure she's up to something. But I noticed you weren't all that disappointed when we came back on the plane without Bridgette."
Gwen paused and looked down, a conflicted look on her face. She let out a heavy sigh.
"I don't wanna talk about it."
"Okay. Whatever."
"What about you? How's your team doing?"
"Well, Lindsay's got a cold, and Geoff was crying all night, and we haven't won a single challenge yet. So, things could be better."
Courtney lightly elbowed Gwen's arm. The goth looked at the CIT who looked as though she were trying hard not to laugh. She pointed toward the end of the hall. Gwen and Leshawna struggled not to laugh as well. Heather was wearing a blue variation of Katie and Sadie's outfit and had her hair done up in pigtails. She looked morbidly humiliated. She walked out and reluctantly sat back down on her team's bench, doing her best to ignore the snickers of everyone. Sierra came out wearing a yellow version of Katie and Sadie's outfit, minus the hairdo, as she never had a haircut in her entire life. She seemed much less embarrassed than Heather and attracted much less attention.
Suddenly, Alejandro appeared, holding several items behind his back.
"My friends, I took the liberty of smuggling a few snacks out of First Class." The Spaniard said charmingly. He walked over to Lindsay.
"I better… ACHOO! (Sniff) I better not. I might break out… (Gasp!) Is that a Snickers Bar?!" Lindsay cried. Without stopping to blow her nose, the blonde bimbo seized the candy bar and gobbled it down in a very Owen-like manner.
"You're welcome! Devon, Justin, how about you? Chips? Candy bar?" Alejandro asked. Justin shook his head.
"I'm good." said DJ politely. "Thanks for the offer, though!"
"Of course. Ezekiel?"
"Thanks, homie!" said the homeschooler, taking a bag of Lay's BBQ chips.
"No problem! What about you, Geoffrey?"
"No thanks…" Geoff moaned, his voice cracked.
"Oh? Missing Bridgette, are you?"
"Yeah. I feel like a piece of my soul has been ripped away!"
"I understand, amigo." Alejandro said, sympathetically. "If I had lost a girl of such surpassing beauty and faithfulness, I too would be quite sorrowful. I don't even know if I'd have the strength to finish the game!"
"Thanks, bro."
Confessional: Geoff
"Bridge told me that Alejandro was evil when we were leaving but wouldn't say why. I dunno what she meant, 'cause he seems like a really cool dude."
End Confessional
Alejandro, suppressing a wicked grin, walked over to Leshawna, Gwen, and Courtney.
"Good afternoon, Leshawna. Care for some chips or candy?"
"You know I do!" Leshawna accepted, graciously. "Salt, sugar, and lard! The three most important food groups!"
"Indeed! Gwendolyn?"
"Just Gwen, please…" said Gwen, nervously. She took a Twix from Alejandro.
"Gwen it is!" said Alejandro. For all his faults, he respected what others wished to be called. "Courtney?"
"No thanks!"
"Very well." Alejandro walked over to Cody, who grabbed the candy out of his hands before the Spaniard even offered. Slightly disgusted, Alejandro moved to the last group, Heather's alliance.
"Heather! You're looking quite stunning, today!" he greeted warmly.
"Drop dead!" Alejandro ignored her and held up a box of gobstoppers.
"Sierra! My former teammate! I smuggled this one out just for you!"
"Well, she doesn't want it!" Heather snapped. She stood in between her allies and Alejandro. "We never trust the enemy! Especially the excessively disgustingly flirty ones!"
"No thanks… enemy!" Sierra giggled. Alejandro leered at Heather before returning to First Class.
"Oh come on, Heather!" Sadie whined. "He was just offering us snacks!"
"Trust me, girls. Alejandro is a bad guy!" Heather declared.
"You were a bad guy too, once." Katie pointed out.
"And that's how I know!"
Confessional: Alejandro
"Of course Heather's bonding with Sierra! She's Chris's favorite! And if that manipulative minx gets Sierra, she'll have Chris, too! Oh-ho! She's good! But I am better!"
End Confessional
A little while later, Chris called all the contestants into the cargo bay. Chris was standing in a speedboat wearing a life jacket. Duncan and Noah had a good laugh at Heather. The contestants all crammed into the boat leaving virtually no elbow room for anyone but Chris.
"Take a seat! Grab a handle! And I'll tell you where we are!" the host announced.
"Oh, sweet boat, man!" Tyler exclaimed. "Right, Lindsay?"
"Uh, sure… Dave, is it?" the blonde bimbo asked. Tyler frowned. Noah did a brief double-take at Lindsay before turning to Chris.
"Why are you wearing a life jacket?" he asked.
"Because there's twenty-one of you, but only one valuable me!" said Chris. "Hit it, Chef!"
KA-THUNK!
The floor beneath them opened up, plunging them out of the plane. They fell for about four seconds before landing in the water. And sitting right before them was a colossal green statue of a woman wearing a crown and holding up a torch.
"Welcome to New York City!" Chris announced, driving them up to the Statue of Liberty.
Confessional: Lindsay
"New York, New York?! Do you know how many stores there are here?! I'm gonna buy like ten seasons worth of lip gloss without even trying! EEEEEEEEE!" (Squeals, then sneezes) "Achoo!"
Confessional: Duncan
"New York City. One of the most corrupt crime-ridden ratholes in the world. My kinda city!"
Confessional: Geoff
"New York, huh? I was expecting to come here, but for some reason, I thought it was gonna be the finale. (Sighs) I wish Bridgette was still here. I thought goin' around the world on someone else's dime would be sweet, but without my better half, I feel so incomplete."
End Confessional
The contestants gathered at the base of the statue.
"I call today's challenge Liberty or Death! You'll be having a carriage race through Central Park!"
"Oh, I've always dreamed of riding a horse-drawn carriage!" Owen exclaimed.
"Alright! And I know how to handle horses!" Ezekiel exclaimed.
"Don't even think about making me the horse!" Courtney warned. "Heather!"
"Slow down, conclusion jumpers!" said Chris. "It's a baby carriage race!"
"So what are we doing at the Statue of Liberty?" Duncan asked.
"This is where you get your carriages!" said Chris, pointing up. "I hope you all brought your climbing gloves!"
The contestants looked up and groaned. Situated on the spikes of Lady Liberty's crown were three baby carriages, one gold, one blue, and one pink. The three spikes each had a silver climbing rope hanging all the way down to the ground.
"Ell-oh-ell, Chris!" Sierra gushed. "I think your mischievous spirit makes the game!"
"Thank you, Sierra!" said Chris. "It's nice to be appreciated!"
"Appreciated? I love you!" Sierra walked up to the host. "I always did! Even back when you were making those terrible movies about talking cats!"
"Uh…" Chris muttered, slightly embarrassed. The rest of the contestants snickered.
"I was even going to call my first fan club the Christians! But that name was already taken!"
Chris patted Sierra on the head like a puppy and then shoved her away from him. A devious smile appeared across Alejandro's face.
"Okay! Less chatter, more splatter! Er, climbing! More climbing! We'll leave the splatter to fate." Chris declared. "Anywho, once you reach Lady Liberty's crown, feel free to pull up the rope to bring the rest of your team up faster! Once everyone's at the top, you grab the carriage of your team's color off the spike, race back down to your boat, and follow the buoys to Central Park!"
"Um… Will we have time to go shopping afterwards?" Lindsay asked.
"Nope!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Lindsay screamed dramatically, falling to her knees.
Chris brought the contestants over to the ropes. Team-colored mats rested beneath each one.
"You have sixty seconds to decide how you want to go up!" Chris informed. "When I blow my whistle, that's your cue to start climbing. Go!"
"Why don't I go first and make sure it's safe for you ladies?" Cody suggested, he walked to the rope but Courtney held him back.
"I know exactly how we should climb!" Courtney declared, a helpful smile on her face.
"You're not gonna suggest we belay again? Because that worked so well in Egypt!" said Gwen sarcastically, pointing over her shoulder at Duncan.
"But... No, I… never mind!" Courtney stammered, embarrassed.
"I think Sierra should decide!" said Heather.
"Oh-em-gee!" said Sierra. "I thought I knew everything about everyone on this show! You're really nice, Heather!"
The queen bee beamed.
Confessional: Katie and Sadie
"Sadie, isn't just amazing how nice Heather's become?"
"Like, totally amazing, Katie!"
"I guess that proves anyone can change!"
Confessional: Sierra
"Of course, I know Heather's trying to play me! I've seen every episode like fifteen times already! Hellooooooo? I'm playing Heather!"
End Confessional
"Ladies, first!" said Alejandro.
"No need to be so chivalrous." Eva grumped.
"But, Eva, you're the strongest member of our team! You'll be able to pull the rest of us up with the least amount of problems! You are our MVP!"
Eva's grumpy expression cracked with a mildly flattered smile.
"Okay, then…" she conceded.
"Right, Eva and Izzy will go first." Alejandro declared. "Then I will go, followed by Duncan, then Trent, then Tyler, then Noah, and Owen will… bring up the rear."
"Awesome!" Owen cried.
"Why am I sixth?" Tyler whined.
"I have my reasons, Tyler."
Meanwhile, with Team Victory…
"I'll go first!" DJ offered.
"Can I ride on your back?" Lindsay asked, sniffling. "I am so weak right now."
"Of course, you can!" said DJ kindly.
TWEET!
The whistle sounded and the teams started their ascent. Moving in accordance with Sierra's instructions, Gwen was the first one to start climbing, followed by Courtney, and then Heather.
"I am so not losing this challenge!" the queen bee declared, grunting.
"Cody, you next!" Sierra instructed. Cody obeyed, not suspecting anything. Then Sierra climbed on after him.
"Best view in New York!" Sierra sighed dreamily, staring at Cody's butt. She gave a sexy growl. The geek attempted to cover his butt with his shirt.
Katie and Sadie hopped on last, with the latter terribly struggling.
With Team Minotaur, everyone went as Alejandro instructed. Eva went first, followed by Izzy.
"Look! I'm a rabid monkey! Aye-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye!" Izzy chanted.
"Yeah, well, I'm a psychotic gorilla!" Eva warned. "And I eat monkeys for breakfast!"
"Ooh, fun!" Izzy responded.
DJ began his ascent with Lindsay on his back, having no problems whatsoever.
"Ow!" Justin cried, grabbing the rope. "What are these ropes made out of?"
"Steel wool!" Chris answered. "Strong and rough, just like the big apple!"
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! My hands!" Justin cried, climbing.
"Oh, stop being such a baby!" Leshawna cried, exasperated. "DJ ain't complaining!"
"Well, we can't all be as tough as DJ!" Justin retorted. "Ow!"
Ezekiel hopped on next, followed by Geoff, and Leshawna brought up the rear.
Twenty-five minutes later, Chris was seen on Lady Liberty's scalp. The teams were roughly halfway at this point.
"It's been twenty-five blister-busting minutes and nothing!" the host yelled impatiently. "You guys are seriously bumming me out!"
As Sierra climbed, Alejandro appeared over her.
"I'm worried about Chris." the Spaniard told his fellow newcomer. "Do you ever feel like he misses his glory days? Back when he was a huge star? That he feels like no one remembers? Or cares?"
Sierra looked down in sadness. Alejandro leaped from Team Amazon's rope back to Team Minotaur's like a gibbon.
"Poor Chris." she said sympathetically. "I remember. I care!"
"Oh, this is makin' me sweat!" Owen exclaimed. The big guy had wrapped the ropes around his wrists to keep himself from falling. He attempted to rearrange the ropes to relieve his sweating. "Okay, I just gotta… Oh come on!" he barked in frustration. He had gotten himself completely tangled.
"Geoff, get your ass moving before I kick it!" Leshawna snapped impatiently.
"Sorry, brah." Geoff croaked miserably. "But my heart is weighing me down!"
"Do you want to go home?!"
"Kinda…"
"Well, I'll keep that in mind if we lose! Now stop being such a sadsack and get moving!" the sassy black girl spanked the party animal's butt.
SMACK!
"Ow!" he cried, upping the pace.
Fifteen minutes later…
"Hurry it up, people!" Chris called. "I'm officially bored!"
Finally, Eva's hand appeared on the ledge and she hoisted herself up, panting. Izzy and Alejandro quickly followed, looking even more out of breath.
"You (pant)… are pure… evil!" the Spaniard scolded.
"Hey, I'm not the one who hates you-know-who!" Chris retorted. Izzy and Eva gave a puzzled look to the Spaniard, who shrugged innocently. Gwen, DJ, and Lindsay appeared over the threshold.
"Where's the rest of our team?" Alejandro asked concernedly, as Courtney, Heather, and Justin appeared but no more Minotaurs. For Owen had had no luck trying to untangle himself and the rest of the Minotaurs were slightly… distracted.
"Whoa! Look at those!" cried Tyler, an excited grin on his face, with similar expressions on Duncan and Noah.
"Dudes! Ignore them!" Trent cried. "We gotta go!"
"Hey, guys! What's going on?" Cody greeted. He turned to look in the direction the Minotaurs were gawking in. His eyes went wide with excitement. For they were hanging right in front of Lady Liberty's well-endowed chest. "Oh!"
Cody's excitement got the better of him, however. He leaned forward to get a closer look. In doing so, he lost his grip on the rope and fell headfirst into the statue's cleavage. Duncan, Noah, and Tyler looked highly amused, while Trent looked concerned.
"Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" Duncan laughed.
"Woo! Ten-point landing, dude!" Tyler cheered.
"Uh-oh! I'm getting sucked in!" Cody panicked.
"Hold on, dude!" Trent cried. He leaped onto the statue's chest, grabbed Cody's legs, and yanked him out. After gasping for breath for a few seconds, the geek spoke to the musician.
"Thanks, man. I thought I was a goner."
"No problem!"
"I totally owe you one!"
"Naw, you saved my life before, so consider us even!"
"But that would have been quite a way to go, am I right?" said Noah, still grinning. "Death by boobies!"
"True that!" Cody admitted. "Woo-hoo-hoo!"
Trent rolled his eyes and the two leaped back to their ropes.
Eventually, every contestant had made it to the top of the statue, save for the most overweight members of each team: Leshawna, Owen, and Sadie. The teams were pulling the ropes up to help them get up faster.
"Ugh! Let's go!" Chris griped. "I'm tired, I'm hungry, and I gotta pee!"
Finally, Team Amazon hoisted Sadie onto the statue's head.
"We're first!" Courtney cried.
"Sweet!" Cody cried.
Gwen and Katie helped Sadie up, and Courtney went to retrieve the carriage.
"Piece of ca… Piece of cake…" Courtney cried, making the mistake of looking down and getting vertigo. But she soldiered on at a snail's pace. While she did this, Sierra went over to Chris.
"Hey, Chris, know what?" Sierra asked in a singsongy voice. "I own every one of your television appearances on DVD! Even your cooking show, Keep It Clean With Chris McLean! Your recipe for white rice is so great! It's totally unfair that you got canceled after only one episode!"
The contestants all burst into laughter, save for Heather, who looked nervous, and Alejandro, who merely smirked.
"I was… going through a phase!" Chris muttered, highly embarrassed.
"I got the carriage!" said Courtney, pushing a pink baby carriage down to her team.
"Team Amazon takes the lead!" Chris announced, grateful for the chance to change the subject.
"How do we get down?" Katie asked.
"Fireman's pole, anyone?" said Chris, pointing to a steel pole poking out of a hatch on the statue's head. "It's only a thirty-story drop!"
The Amazons gathered around the hatch. Looking down, they could see nothing but darkness.
"Ladies, first!" said Cody nervously. Katie, Sadie, and Sierra began mumbling frightfully.
"Well, somebody's gotta do it…" said Gwen.
Confessional: Gwen
"I survived a one-thousand-foot plunge into a lake once. How bad could dropping from the Statue of Liberty be?"
End Confessional
"Here goes!" Gwen bravely leaped onto the pole and slid down swiftly. The pole seemed to have been lubricated, leaving the goth no chance to slow down or stop. She let out a yell as she descended quickly, reaching the bottom in less than ten seconds.
THUMP!
Her teammates cringed when she hit the bottom with an audible thump.
"I'm okay!" she yelled hoarsely. Mercifully, there was some foam padding at the bottom that prevented her from breaking every bone in her body. The rest of her team followed one by one, letting out frightened yells. Cody held the carriage in his hand.
Meanwhile, Team Victory managed to raise Leshawna onto the statue's head, giving them permission to retrieve their carriage.
"Hallelujah!" the sassy girl cried, out of breath.
"You might wanna go on a diet." Ezekiel suggested. Leshawna glared at him, too tired to hurt him at the moment.
"I'll get the carriage!" DJ cried. He tiptoed up the spike like a ballerina and grabbed the gold baby carriage.
Confessional: DJ
"I always walk on the edge of the curb, never on the sidewalk! Can't risk steppin' on a crack and breakin' Mama's back, know what I'm sayin'?"
End Confessional
Soon enough, Team Victory was sliding down the pole.
Despite having the greatest combined strength of all three teams, the members of Team Minotaur struggled to pull Owen up.
"Heave!" Tyler chanted. "Heave!"
"Why isn't this working?!" Eva yelled. "He's only three-hundred pounds!"
Duncan looked over the edge to see what the problem was.
"Oh perfect." he grumbled sarcastically. Trent, Eva, and Alejandro looked over the edge and groaned. Owen had somehow gotten stuck in Lady Liberty's left nostril, completely plugging it up.
"Hello? Hello! Echo!" Owen cried, giggling.
Meanwhile, Team Amazon finally exited the Statue and ran to the dock, where three motorboats of differing colors sat. One was yellow, one was blue, and one was pink.
"There's the boats!" Courtney cried. The Amazons piled into the pink one, with Courtney taking the helm. She started the boat and immediately went full-throttle. Unfortunately, this caused a bit of whiplash causing her teammates to stagger. Cody fell out. The rest of the team tried to get Courtney to turn around, but she couldn't hear properly over the roar of the motor.
Finally, after much effort, Team Minotaur managed to dislodge their fatso and pull him up to the top. Izzy had elected to save her strength. Everyone else was exhausted.
"I get the spike! Called it!" the wild girl declared. She hopped fearlessly up the spike, grabbed the blue carriage, hopped into it, and rode it down to the pole. "Look out below!" she cried, jumping down the pole.
The rest of the Minotaurs fearlessly followed her. Duncan, Trent, Tyler, and Noah jumped consecutively. Owen was next but got stuck in the hatch, clogging it up.
"You think you could give me a push, Al?" Owen asked. Alejandro, triggered by the nickname and still frustrated with having to pull him out of the statue's nose, was sorely tempted to knock Owen's teeth out.
"I think Eva would be of better service." said the Spaniard politely. Owen looked to Eva, who wound up a punch like Donkey Kong.
"Oh great big apples!" Owen cried, terrified.
BAM!
With an impact that sounded like a gunshot, Eva pounded Owen through the hatch.
"Gracias." Alejandro thanked reverently.
"Whatever." said Eva. The last two Minotaurs slid down the pole.
Team Victory made it to the boats and piled into the yellow one. DJ took the wheel but made the same mistake Courtney did and went full throttle, causing Ezekiel to fall out of their boat. However, the Victors' driver noticed this much sooner than the Amazons'.
Ezekiel had climbed into the blue boat just as its rightful owners arrived to commandeer it.
"This boat belongs to Team Minotaur!" Eva declared, seizing Ezekiel by his collar. "Not Team Victory-Challenged!"
The female bully threw the homeschooler overboard. Tyler untied the boat, hopped in, and the Minotaurs took off. Alejandro did not make the same mistake as Courtney and DJ, and instead accelerated slowly so as not to send anyone overboard. Cody managed to grab onto the rope and water ski behind them for a few seconds before hitting a buoy.
Teams Victory and Amazon returned for their missing members, allowing Team Minotaur to take the lead.
"Alright! We're in first place!" Tyler celebrated.
"Yeah, but how are we supposed to get to Central Park by boat?" Trent asked. "It's in Manhattan!"
"Oh, look! The next buoy!" Owen cried. The other Minotaurs blanched.
"Looks like you have your answer, Trent!" said Noah, as Team Minotaur entered the sewer. They all exclaimed in disgust except for Owen. Teams Amazon and Victory arrived shortly, tied for second place. They too exclaimed in disgust.
"The sewer?!" Heather exclaimed. "Ugh! Sometimes, I hate Chris!"
"Sometimes?!" Gwen repeated incredulously.
"Okay, all times!"
"Who will survive? And who's taking a dive?" Chris narrated from the top of Lady Liberty. "Find out when we return! On Total… Drama… World Tour!"
After the commercial break, we cut back to Team Minotaur slowly navigating their way through the sewers.
"McLean is such a funny guy!" Duncan complained. "Having us ride through literal shit!"
"Oh! Oh! This reminds me of the dream I had last night!" Izzy cried. "You guys wanna hear it?"
"Sure!" cried Owen.
"Okay, so you guys remember in Season One where we had that one contest to see who could go the longest without falling asleep? Well, it was basically that, except that we were all toddlers and the contest was to go as long as we could without crapping our diapers! It was so gross!" Izzy laughed. Most of her teammates made disgusted sneers at her. Duncan shuddered.
"Cool!" cried Owen, looking intrigued. "In my dream last night, I was picking my nose. And then I accidentally dug too deep and pulled out my brain. And since I was so hungry, I ate it!"
Confessional: Alejandro
"Sounds more like a memory to me."
End Confessional
"Ugh! There better be a reward at the end of this challenge!" Leshawna cried, trying to wave away the stench. "Like a long hot shower and some disinfectant!"
"For once, I agree with you!" said Heather, as the two team's boats rode side-by-side.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
A guttural growl echoed throughout the sewers.
"Was that… Achoo! Was that an alligator?" Lindsay asked, scared.
"There are no alligators in the sewer!" said DJ, trying to sound brave. "That's just an urban legend! Right?"
"Did you guys hear that?" Tyler asked. "It sounded like a dinosaur!"
An albino American Alligator the size of a whale poked its head above the surface right as Team Minotaur passed it. Turning around, it saw Teams Victory and Amazon approaching. Deciding they were easier prey, it swam towards them.
"What is that?!" Gwen cried.
"It can't be!" DJ exclaimed.
The Amazons and Victors stopped as the enormous reptile approached. Everyone screamed except for Geoff, whose depression had numbed his fear, and DJ, who seemed not to believe what he was seeing. The gator seemed ready to pounce.
"VINCE?!" DJ cried. To everyone's surprise, the gator's predatory expression shattered upon hearing the gentle giant's voice. It turned to look at DJ, its eyes expanding in shock. DJ moved to the front of the boat. "Is that you, buddy?!"
With an expression similar to that of a puppy whose owner had just gotten home, the alligator moved towards DJ and allowed him to hug its neck.
"It is you!" DJ exclaimed, crying tears of joy. The Amazons and the rest of Team Victory stared, dumbfounded.
Confessional: DJ
"Three years ago, I had a baby gator I named Vince. I was so attached to him, I took him everywhere I went, even on vacation here in New York! But then, I was giving him a bath and I tripped. Vince fell in the toilet and my hand landed on the lever. He was flushed down the toilet and I never saw him again. Until today!"
End Confessional
"Oh, you've gotten so big, Vince! Papa's so proud!" DJ gushed. Vince let out what could only be described as the crocodilian version of purring. "You've only been eating bad guys, right?"
Vince nodded. Finally, someone on Team Amazon realized that this was their chance to get ahead.
"Courtney! Go!" Heather demanded.
"Wha-?" said Courtney. Her confusion quickly cleared up and she maneuvered around Vince and continued on their path.
"DJ!" Leshawna cried. "They're ahead of us!"
Justin seized the wheel and tore Team Victory away from Vince and back onto the course. Vince, not willing to part with DJ just yet, followed them.
Team Amazon came out a large sewer pipe and into a pond in Central Park, they drove up to a dock where Team Minotaur had already parked. Team Victory came out shortly after, followed by Vince, who got stuck in the pipe and was unable to follow them any further.
Chris was waiting at the docks, wearing a gas mask used by firefighters.
"Wow! That's the kind of stink that never comes off!" Chris mocked. He turned to Chef. "Make the gator sign a waiver so we on show it on TV!"
Chef grumbled as he hopped into the water and swam up to Vince, who compliantly signed the document.
"Sorry, bud!" DJ called. "I'm busy right now! I'll come back and see ya later!"
"Chris, you are such a brilliant commander!" Sierra cried. "That's why you always stood out in your boyband!"
Every head in the vicinity turned towards Sierra.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Chris was in a boyband?" Owen asked.
"Moving on!" Chris interrupted quickly, but this did not stop Sierra.
"Back in the nineties, he was!" she confirmed. "Makin' trouble is easy to do, but makin' you love me is painful!" she sang. The contestants' eyes popped open in shock.
"You were in Fametown?!" Gwen gasped. Chris's silence and humiliated expression confirmed this.
Confessional: Justin
"BWA-HA-HA-HA!"
Confessional: Trent
"AH-HA-HA-HA! FAMETOWN! HA-HA-HA-HA! WHAT A DORK! AH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"
Confessional: Cody
"TEEEEEE-HEE-HEE-HEE-HEE-HEE!"
Confessional: Vince
"RAAAAAAAAA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"
End Confessional
The contestants (and Vince) laughed uproariously, except for Heather and Alejandro. Chris's eye twitched.
"I really admire how you never let mockery get to you!" Sierra complimented, once the laughter died down. "I'll have to include that in your obituary. I already have a draft! Wanna hear it? 'Chris McLean was born in Nineteen-Seventy-Eight-'"
"THAT IS IT!" Chris screamed. "ZIP IT! PERMANENTLY! GAH!"
Sierra flinched. Heather face-palmed in dismay. Alejandro smirked.
Confessional: Heather
"Sierra could have been the teacher's pet all season but she threw it away! Which makes her way less useful. How could this have happened? …Wait a minute! That smile! Alejandro! That sneaky burro! (Snickers) It's really on now! Just you wait!"
End Confessional
The contestants exited their boats with their carriages and followed Chris to the shore, where he had set up a stand with a map of Central Park. There were three lines marking several routes through the park, one yellow, one blue, and one pink.
"Alright, focus, people!" Chris called. "Welcome to the second half of the challenge: Bobbing for Big Apples! Here's how it's gonna go down! Teams must push their carriages along one of three paths to Central Park's fabled Turtle Pond! There, one member of each team will bob for some very special apples using only their mouths! No hands! Once they get it to shore, the rest of the team must load it into their carriage and race to the finish line in the heart of Central Park! And what's a baby carriage without a baby?"
"Ooh! Ooh! A shopping cart!" Owen called.
"It was a rhetorical question." said Chris.
"Oh, Chris!" Sierra swooned. "That is so-!"
"ZIP IT BEFORE I DISQUALIFY YOU!" Chris roared. Sierra recoiled. Alejandro winked at Heather, who leered back at him. Chris composed himself and continued. "One member of each team must ride in their carriage and stay there all the way to the finish line."
"Cody!" cried everyone on Team Amazon, except for Sierra and Cody.
"I'll do it." Noah volunteered. The bookworm had never been a fan of physical activity and was tired from the rope-climbing.
"Oh! And I'll do it for Team Victory!" cried Lindsay. "I love it when people call me 'Baby!'"
"Make a note of that, man!" Trent told Tyler.
"I don't have a pen or paper!" the jock responded.
"A mental note, Einstein!" said Duncan. Tyler looked confused. As the selected babies crammed into the tiny carriages, Chris pointed to the map.
"Team Minotaur got here first, so they get the shortest path to the pond. Team Amazon gets the second-longest path on the left, and Team Victory gets the longest path on the right. Everybody ready?"
The contestants nodded.
"GO!"
The teams took off. Gwen, Alejandro, and DJ pushed their respective team's carriages.
As Team Amazon ran down their assigned route, Courtney marveled at the atmosphere.
"Isn't New York just amazing, girls?!" she gushed. The girls looked around. There was a crime scene complete with a chalk outline, a statue covered in bird poop, and a homeless man that looked awfully similar to the one that had stolen Ezekiel's wallet. The air was polluted with the sounds of traffic honking obnoxiously and unnecessarily.
"New York? I thought we were in Washington DC!" cried Katie.
"And I thought we were in Chicago!" said Sadie.
"Don't they teach geography at your school?!" Gwen asked incredulously.
Meanwhile, with Team Minotaur, Owen had just noticed a pretzel bagel cart on their way. Since their team had the shortest path, the big guy figured he could spare a few moments to get a snack.
"Hey, dude! Ten pretzels please!" Owen ordered cheerily.
"Sure thing!" said the vendor. "That'll be twenty dollars!"
"You got it!" Owen pulled out his wallet and handed the vendor a twenty.
"Um, this is Canadian cash." said the vendor.
"Oh right, we're in America right now…" Owen muttered awkwardly. "Well, it's gotta be worth something!"
"Nope. Not in America, buddy!"
"Would you make an exception for the winner of Total Drama Island?" Owen usually wasn't one to flaunt his status as the first season's winner to get special treatment, but food was an exception.
"You're Owen? From Total Drama? Prove it!"
"Uh… okay." Owen didn't have a driver's license, so he had to settle for the next best thing. He reached into his pants and pulled out his boxers. The vendor looked shocked.
"How did you take off your underwear without taking off your pants?" he asked.
"No idea! But here, look! I'm Owen! Says so right here on my gitch!"
"That says 'Gavin.'"
"What?! Oh crap, these are my brother's!" Owen exclaimed, putting Gavin's boxers on over his shorts.
"A likely story." said the vendor sarcastically.
"Owen! What are you doing?! Get over here!" Duncan yelled.
"Whoops! Gotta run!" Owen cried, running off empty-handed and empty-stomached.
Naturally, Team Minotaur made it to Turtle Pond, first. Noah had fallen asleep and Duncan had run back to get Owen, but this wasn't a problem. Three plastic apples about three feet in diameter each floated in the middle of the pond.
"Remember! No hands!" Chris reminded them.
"I totally got this, guys!" Tyler cried.
"No, you don't!" said Eva.
"Eva, please!" said Alejandro. "We're still ahead! Give Tyler a chance to prove himself."
"Fine…"
Tyler hopped into the water just as Owen, Duncan, and Team Amazon arrived.
"Why are you in your underwear?" Alejandro asked.
"Oh, these aren't mine! They're my brother's!" said Owen. Alejandro looked highly disturbed.
"My perfect ballet leaps closed the gap! Now, someone, dive in!" Courtney called.
"Ooh! Last year, I broke my leg in the Egg-and-Spoon Race at the Chris McLean fan club picnic!"
"Hold on!" Gwen interrupted. "There's a Chris McLean fan club picnic?"
"It's awesome! There were like six of us! There was Randy, Tina, Topher, Gerald, my mom, and me! Anyway, I had to stay off it for over a month! And I took this seal training course online! Arf! Arf-arf-arf-arf!" Sierra barked, clapping like a seal. "Handy, huh?"
"Dive in, already!" Courtney yelled. Sierra quickly obeyed.
Meanwhile, Alejandro came over to Heather.
"Central Park is so romantic, don't you find?" he flirted.
"Whatever. I know you've been messing with Sierra's head! So back off, or you'll wish you had!" Heather threatened.
"My wish doesn't involve backing off." Alejandro flirted. Heather grunted and stomped in frustration.
"Just go play with your stupid team and leave us alone!"
"You're beautiful when you play hard to get. Even in spite of your new outfit."
Heather snarled and growled.
"I'm going... I'm going…"
"You bet you are! Right out of the game!"
Confessional: Gwen
"What was that all about? Does Heather know something we don't about Alejandro?"
End Confessional
Heather looked around. Over on a bench nearby was a woman talking on her phone. Next to her was a baby carriage of a similar build and color as Team Minotaur's. Grinning evilly, the queen bee grabbed Noah and wheeled him over to the woman, taking her carriage and bringing it over to Team Minotaur. The other Minotaurs had their attention on Tyler and didn't see this, while the woman was caught up in her phone conversation.
Finally, Team Victory arrived.
"Look at the size of them apples!" DJ cried. He turned to his team. "Well?"
His teammates all shook their heads and pointed out various reasons as to why they couldn't retrieve the apple.
"My hair!" said Leshawna.
"My cold!" sneezed Lindsay.
"My heart!" wailed Geoff.
"My face!" whined Justin.
"My… uh… turtle allergies! Yeah!" said Ezekiel. If DJ wasn't such a polite young man, he probably would have called them all useless.
"A'igt! If we lose, it's not my fault!" he declared, slightly frustrated. He pulled a cord on his waist, causing an inner tube to inflate around him. He bravely hopped into the water in spite of his aquaphobia.
"Thanks, DJ!" cried Lindsay.
"Go show that apple who's boss!" Leshawna cheered.
Tyler made it to an apple first and attempted to blow it over to the shore.
"It's not working!" he cried. Duncan and Eva face-palmed.
"Come on, man!" Alejandro cried, slightly exasperated. "Use your head!"
Taking his advice literally, Tyler began head-butting the apple towards the shore. DJ doggy-paddled over to the apples, surpassing Sierra. He grabbed another apple by the stem with his teeth. He paddled backwards, which was much more time-consuming than paddling forward.
"Argh!" the gentle giant cried, as he felt a sharp pain in his side. "Something bit me!"
"It's called Turtle Pond for a reason, bro!" Chris informed DJ.
Sierra managed to make it to the last apple. She dove underwater and reappeared balancing it on her head.
"Go, Sierra!" cheered Katie and Sadie.
"Hurry!" cried Courtney and Gwen.
"You are so weird!" muttered Cody and Heather.
"Quick! We're losing our lead!" cried Alejandro. A few seconds later, Tyler successfully batted the apple to the shore so that Alejandro could scoop it up. The jock lost consciousness and had to be rescued by Owen. Alejandro put the apple in the carriage and Team Minotaur took off towards the finish line.
Sierra made it to the shore before DJ did, climbed out, and walked over to the carriage, still balancing the apple on her head.
"Hurry, Sierra! Don't show off!" Heather scolded. Sierra grabbed the fruit with her hands and placed it in the carriage on top of Cody. The Amazons took off.
Finally, DJ managed to make it back to shore. Ezekiel grabbed the apple and Justin helped DJ up. Sure enough, there was a turtle who had snapped onto DJ's thigh. He pulled the shelled reptile off gently.
"Okay, Mr. Nibbles, back to your home!" said DJ, tossing the turtle back into the pond.
Confessional: DJ
"I got to hug an alligator today, and I got attacked by a turtle. Ain't that ironic?"
End Confessional
"Let's go!" Leshawna cried, once Ezekiel placed the apple on top of Lindsay.
Five minutes later…
Chris and Chef sat on the edge of a fountain in the heart of Central Park.
"She's got a sister, ya know!" the host told his assistant, winking.
"For real? Alright, give her my digits, then!"
"Oh hold on! Here they come!"
Team Minotaur made it to the fountain.
"We're awesome!" Owen cried, still holding Tyler.
"First place!" Izzy cried.
"Hell yeah!" Duncan shouted, high-fiving Trent.
"What was that?" Eva cried. Everyone stopped celebrating and looked at the carriage. There seemed to be a soft cooing noise coming from under the apple. Alejandro lifted the apple up to find a caucasian female infant lying in the carriage, as opposed to a seventeen-year-old Indian boy.
"Noah regressed into a baby!" Izzy gasped.
"A white baby!" Owen cried.
"A baby girl!" Tyler added.
"Hey, this isn't our carriage!" Trent realized.
"No Noah means no first place!" Chris informed them.
"We have to go back!" cried Alejandro urgently.
"No! I have to go back!" Eva declared, seizing the carriage. "You stay here and wait for me! Hang on, kid! This is gonna be fast!"
With no team needing to keep up with her, Eva took off like a shot, zooming down the path at twenty miles an hour. She passed both Team Amazon and Team Victory on her way back to the pond.
Meanwhile, after a ninety-minute phone conversation, the woman hung up and turned her attention back to her baby, not realizing she had been kidnapped.
"Okay, who gets a big kiss?" she asked, only to find Noah in the carriage, sleeping like… well, a baby. She screamed, causing Noah to wake up and scream as well. Eva arrived just then.
"Sorry! Musta got our carriages mixed up!" she apologized, grabbing Noah and zooming back to the finish line. The baby looked quite exhilarated.
Eva pushed herself to the max, speeding down the path at twenty-five miles an hour.
Back at the finish line, Team Minotaur waited anxiously for Eva and Noah. They cringed when Team Amazon arrived first, claiming first place.
"Come on, Eva! Where are you?" Trent cried, his fists balled. When Team Victory appeared down the path, the Minotaurs knew they were sunk. They were maybe thirty feet away, when Eva came into view, charging like a rhino. She made it to the tiles before Geoff and Ezekiel, who were both dragging their feet. Team Victory gasped as they came in last for the third time in a row.
"And the winner of the New York challenge is… Teeeeeeeeam Amazon!" Chris announced. The Amazons cheered, save for Heather, who grunted in frustration. "Team Minotaur, you're in second place!"
The Minotaurs cheered for Eva. Had it not been for her, they surely would have lost. Alejandro blew a kiss to Heather, who again grunted in frustration at her plan not fully succeeding.
Confessional: Heather
"Okay, Eva needs to hit the road! Like yesterday!"
End Confessional
"Team Victory, you're facing elimination. Again." said Chris. "And Team Amazon, I'll also need you to attend the elimination ceremony!"
Team Victory all groaned, except for Geoff. Lindsay sneezed.
Elimination Ceremony: Team Victory
The Amazons and Victors gathered outside the plane. The setup was double the usual. There were two huts and thirteen seats. Team Amazon sat beneath one and Team Victory on the other.
"Sierra, my friend," said Heather calmly. "I'm thinking you shouldn't talk to Chris for a while."
"How long a while?" the fangirl asked.
"Long enough for him to forget how creep- er, special you are!"
"Team Victory! It's time to vote off your third player! So, grab your passport and take it into the voting booth. There are stickers of the Empire State flag waiting to send someone home."
"Wait, aren't we in America, right now?" Lindsay asked.
"Yes…"
"So why not use the American flag?"
"Because we also have multiple challenges planned for the United States!" said Chris, exasperated. "Canada and America are only the two biggest countries in the world! Second only to Russia!"
"But I like the American flag! With the red background and the blue X dotted with stars, it's really pretty!"
"That's the Confederate Battle Flag, Lindsay!" Leshawna corrected angrily. DJ also cast an annoyed glance at the dumb blonde.
"Oops. Sorry, guys!" Lindsay apologized.
"Ahem! DJ! Since Bridgette's gone, you'll be going first. Then Zeke, then Geoff, then Justin, then Leshawna, and Lindsay will go last."
DJ went and retrieved his passport. Once Team Victory got voting, Chris turned to the Amazons.
"Team Amazon, as the winners of today's challenge, you get the prizes contained in the apples! So, have at it, ladies!" said Chris, tossing a wooden mallet to Cody.
"Hey!" the geek cried, catching the mallet.
"Sorry. Have at it, ladies and baby!"
"Hey!" Cody whined, offended. Nevertheless, he walked over to the first apple and gave it a good whack. It cracked open and a pile of candy spilled out.
"Candy!" Cody cried. He grabbed his backpack and began greedily scooping the candy into it.
Katie and Sadie also hopped towards the candy and started grabbing at it as though it were a piñata that had just been smashed.
"Hey! Save some for the rest of us!" Courtney scolded.
"Yeah! Sure! Will do!" said Cody. "Come to papa!"
Sierra went over to another apple and placed her ear on it. She hit the apple at the perfect spot, causing it to split in half. Out of the big apple spilled a few dozen Red Delicious apples.
"Yay! Apples!" she cheered. She then turned to Heather. "Can I thank Chris for the apples?"
"Not yet." said Heather. She turned to Gwen and Courtney. "I think I deserve to open the last one, all things considered."
"The carriage swap did help us win…" Gwen admitted.
"But we wouldn't have lost anyway!" Courtney pointed out. "So don't get all big-headed!"
Heather ignored Courtney and shredded the last apple open with her nails, revealing an electric meat grinder.
"What the-? A meat grinder? Ugh! This must be the booby prize!" Heather griped. She left the appliance right in the remains of the apple.
"Maybe we should keep it! It might come in handy!" said Courtney. Heather ignored her and boarded the plane rather hastily.
"Heather, aren't you staying for the elimination?" Katie asked.
"I have some business to take care of!" said Heather, disappearing into the plane.
"What did you say might come in handy?" Sadie asked.
"This meat grinder." said Courtney, picking it up.
"A meat grinder?! I've always wanted a meat grinder!" said the short BFFFL. She ran over to Courtney, snatched the grinder out of her hands, and cuddled it like a teddy bear.
Meanwhile, Lindsay handed her passport to Chris.
"Alright! The time has come!" the host announced. "I have tickets for the five members of Team Victory that get to stay!"
"Leshawna!"
"DJ!"
"Lindsay!"
"And Justin!"
The first four members of Team Victory grabbed a boarding pass from Chris. Due to the climate of New York City being more moderate than the Yukon, the members of Team Victory were inclined to stay put to see who got booted.
"Geoff, you let your heavy heart drag you down today. Ezekiel, you're still a useless loser! The final ticket goes to…"
Geoff watched intently. Ezekiel looked mildly nervous.

"Ezekiel." said Chris.
"Yes!" the homeschooler cried.
"Thank goodness!" said Geoff, looking heavily relieved.
Team Amazon looked flabbergasted.
"You've had three eliminations and you still haven't booted the redneck?" Courtney exclaimed.
"It was a tough choice today!" said Leshawna.
"You know, it was actually a tie!" said Chris. The contestants all turned to Chris.
"Are you serious?" said DJ.
"Yup! The first tie in Total Drama history! We would have done a tiebreaker but since Geoff voted for himself, that tells me he doesn't wanna be here anymore!"
"Correct-a-mundo, Chris!" said Geoff. "Later, dudes! Best of luck!"
"Bye, George! Say hi to Brenda for me!" called Lindsay.
DJ, Justin, and Ezekiel also bid Geoff farewell. Teams Amazon and Victory boarded the plane. Chef came out and tossed Geoff's luggage out the door, before closing it. The plane then took off, spraying Geoff with a load of New York grime.
Meanwhile, in First Class…
As the Amazons started to settle in, Sierra called their attention to her.
"Hey, girls! You wanna play a game?" she called. She was kneeling on the floor in front of the TV, surrounded by the apples they won.
"Sure!" Katie cried.
"Totally!" Sadie replied. The two BFFFLs ran over to her eagerly.
"Heather?" Sierra inquired. The queen bee nervously joined them.
"What do you have in mind?" she asked tentatively.
"It's a fortune-telling game! One of my followers taught me this!" the fangirl cried excitedly. She held up an apple and pinched the stem. "You twist the stem of the apple while reciting the alphabet! When the stem breaks off, whatever letter you're on is the first initial of the person you are going to marry!"
"Whoa!"
"Cool!"
"Um… sounds… fun!"
"I'll go first! A, B, C, D," Sierra counted.
Snap!
"Uh, let me try again! A, B,"
Snap!
Sierra tried several more times but kept getting Bs, Ds, and Es.
"Why can't I get a C?!" she cried in frustration.
"Hey, let us have a turn!" Katie snapped, grabbing an apple and beginning to twist. "A, B, C, D, E, F,"
Snap!
"F? Sadie, who do we know whose name starts with F?"
"Well, there's Fred, and Frank, but both of those guys have their issues… And then there's Phineas and Ferdinand-"
"I meant from the show."
"No one on the show's name starts with an F!" Sierra pointed out.
"My turn!" Sadie cried. "A, B, C, D, E, F,"
Snap!
"Katie, I got F too!" Sadie cried excitedly.
"Oh my gosh! We're gonna marry the same guy! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Katie exclaimed. The BFFFLs squealed in excitement until they realized how wrong that sounded. "Wait a minute…"
"I'm next!" said Heather, glossing over the lunacy of her allies. "A,"
Snap!
Heather's went wide. Her allies stared at her. Even Gwen and Courtney, who had been eavesdropping, looked mildly shocked.
"Oh, it's just a stupid game!" Heather barked, throwing the apple over her shoulder. She folded her arms and huffed.
"Hey, Cody! You want a try?" Sierra called.
"What?" said Cody, who had been distracted by his sweet tooth. Sierra dragged him over and explained the game.
"Okay… A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J," Cody recited. He was mildly disappointed that it didn't snap on G, though Gwen did breathe a sigh of relief. "K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S,"
Snap!
Sierra gasped in excitement. It didn't take long for Cody to figure out why.
"Oh my gosh!" Katie cried. "Cody's gonna marry Sadie!"
"WHAT?!" Sierra screamed.
"Um… I gotta take a dump!" said Cody, retreating whilst looking terrified. "Oh excuse me, Trent!"
Trent appeared in First Class just as Cody fled the cabin.
"Am I interrupting something?" the musician asked.
"No…" said Gwen. "What's up?"
"Hey, this is the winner's cabin, Trent!" Heather snapped. "No losers allowed!"
"You guys haven't seen my guitar anywhere, have you?" Trent asked, ignoring Heather.
"Uh, the interns usually move the luggage back to Economy whenever you lose." said Gwen.
"I know, but it's not in my compartment or anywhere!" the musician stated, sounding worried. "I thought they might have left it in here by accident!"
"Well, they didn't!" said Heather. "So, shoo!"
"I can help you look for it." Courtney offered in a rare moment of compassion.
"I'd appreciate that." said Trent.
Chris closed out the episode from the cockpit.
"Will Team Victory end their ironic losing streak? How is Ezekiel still here? Will Heather ever earn the respect of Courtney or Gwen? And what happened to Trent's guitar? Find out next time! On Total… Drama… World Tour!"

Author's note: Sorry to keep y'all waiting. Last weekend was pretty busy for me. I actually had Team Minotaur losing this challenge as they had in canon, but then I realized that this was an opportunity to showcase Eva's abilities again. Besides, that was really early in the planning stages when I had Geoff on Team Minotaur. I must give a huge apology to fans of the party animal but Geoff and Bridgette's story is to take place during the aftermaths. Anyway, Team Victory takes their third loss in a row! Terribly sorry to those of you who didn't like the idea of Team Victory losing so much. I also decided to cram both of the exclusive clips into this episode. On a more serious note, some of you were unhappy with what I did with Gwen in the last chapter. And I get it, it's not what you'd expect from her. I won't be abandoning that arc entirely, but I will be making some adjustments to it that will hopefully satisfy fans. Also, I have a question: if the canon episode actually was an elimination round, who do you think would be eliminated?
