Total Drama X: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 22: Pahkitew's Drama Hunters
Part 4: The Hunt For Eliminations.
Up for elimination in today's episode/today's part:
Kipo, Tiana, ? (Team 9) & ? (Team 10)
Pit, Giovanni, Mai & Pinstripe
Snake, Dante, Nicole & Samurai Jack
Scott Pilgrim, Tifa, Cassie & Shego
Which four (aside from two obvious picks) will be sent home today? Probably the ones that are in a messed up state or have messed up...or something else, obviously.
Long story short, Pit and Miko are about to move on ahead in more ways than one and Kipo was about to move out of this island, obviously.
Memeking: Yeah, this challenge has many, many flaws that Chris both took into consideration and also left in the challenge just 'cause, Team Bayo did get a relatively free win.
1602jaw: Thank Tails for the Fang catch...I'm just hoping that he has insurance of sorts and Josh doesn't exactly appear in this chapter, but he does get treated well!
Teams Josh and Zeke were sitting on the back, being piloted by Chef Hatchet towards the old Dock of Shame and his trusty boat-driving skills, the eight of them sure of their potential votes for who messed up.
"I'm sorry that I didn't do it in time." Samurai Jack said.
"It's not really your fault, Zeke was just too strong." Snake answered. "Failed a challenge, that's all."
Samurai Jack retained his poker face, as did Solid Snake, while the other two were fiery and ready to vote for whoever ire'd them today.
"Fuck Kipo!" Dante spat out.
"Don't swear. That being, Kipo deserves my vote." Nicole said.
Obviously, it was Kipo for hopefully obvious reasons.
"...Gonna be honest, this challenge was just unfair. The first place had to deal with a beaver and the rest of them had easier stuff than having to deal with some overpowered guy and his plant friend!" Shego complained, still grappling with her loss. "Seriously, Josh, why can't I throw you?"
Josh genuinely didn't want to fight Shego and neither did the other seven members of the two Boney Island fighters, as the villain was genuinely tired of the challenge's bull.
"This time, I think the challenge is really messed up and it's Chris' set-up 'cause how would you put fifty something people in a bunch of teams of four!" Cassie said, rather loudly.
That didn't go over too well with most of the contestants aside from Snake, who didn't care that much and Samurai Jack, who was trying to deal with
"...Long story, this challenge sucks and I'm not gonna say my vote because you all are pissed."
"Good choice." Snake abruptly answered.
*Snake's confessional*
"There's a lot of choices aside from Kipo apparently following the orders of Coachman and somebody being stomped on and a lot of them are odd choices or bad choices. Aside from Pinstripe 'cause the dude's a creep." Snake said, figuring out his options.
*Confessional cut*
'
Back at where the cages were (and with Josh being stuck in one undeservedly) all of the contestants in their various states of being had to hear this announcement.
"Man, that was a fun challenge...to watch 'cause a lot of you guys went through some crazy stuff, some in ways that are wild and some in ways that are as freaky as the animals that you've hunted down!" Chris told all of the contestants. "And of course, the first place team needs a reward!"
"I don't need any reward, I teamed with some powerful niggas!" Riley bragged. "But what is it, though?"
"Yeah, what's the scoop?" Muscle Man asked meanly.
"Dude, you get to send two people up for elimination! Team Giant Beaver gets to do just that! But you can only pick from the ninth and tenth place team."
Riley and Muscle Man looked at the host confused, as Bayonetta rolled her eyes.
"The team that beat Fang sorta and the team that dealt with the pterodactyl!" Chris announced, starting to be annoyed. "Those two teams!"
"Alright, okay..." Catalina took in a breath. "...I'm gonna chose Miko because she doesn't shut up enough!"
"No, you don't shut up enough!" Pit shouted, as Miko was backing him up..literally.
"Good choice, Catalina...uhhh, what about the other team members?"
"Whoa, I thought we all agreed on Tails, he's mad overpowered! He's like a genius or something!" Muscle Man shouted out...almost without thinking, as Tails slowly turned his eyes around.
The two-tailed fox rolled his own eyes before becoming a bit nervous.
"Nice, Tails and Miko, you guys can be voted for now! The sixteen campers who are up for elimination can be voted for by everyone! EVERYONE, DUDE!"
Dante and Coachman both looked to ask the question that had already been answered, as the wildest round of voting was about to happen.
*Tanya's confessional*
The child soldier was both shocked and not surprised.
"Chris, you can't just do this to a hungry bunch of players! They're mostly hungry for some drama or some kind of payback...and I'm not one of them, but my vote will somehow not count. Don't ask how, I just have a good feeling." Tanya answered.
*Confessional cut*
While there was either a stupid amount of shouting that probably a had ton of swearing in there or strategy going with specifically Azula and her alliance and only them, Pit and Miko were wondering one thing.
Especially since, Clover was glaring at Pit for some reason.
"Wait, what did I do?" The angel asked. "I just wanted to go full 100% for Miko, not that serious!"
"Come on, I understand trying to be real and what not, but you looked like a dumb angel out there...and like-" Clover said, being all honest. "-you are?"
"I'm not...a dumb angel."
"Seriously, Pit, you need some advice from me...which I definitely have." Clover saw that Pit shrugged. "Like, I do!"
"No way, you're boy crazy...I think you said it yourself."
Clover looked at the gamers like they were crazy, as she left in a huff.
"You know that I'm right, right?" Miko asked.
"Right. Excuse me, I just have to get some advice from a my goddess!"
"...Your what?"
And just like Pit, he could actually call Lady Palutena for the first time in this season, which implied that Chris was a bit too powerful for his own good.
"Pit, I will make sure that I will smite Chris for blocking me. Anyways, you wanna learn how to deal with complicated feelings...because I might know about it. I've studied a lot of Greek tragedies and other things." Palutena said.
"Thanks, Lady Palutena, what should I do?" Pit asked. "I still love her and I'm worried about her living to a century or something...and uhhhhhh, also I might have told her about you."
"It took me about a month and a week to give you some guidance and I've seen the whole show...and look, being yourself actually worked. Something tells me that you'll figure it out when the time comes." Palutena said. "...That's all of the love advice I have...if you love her and she loves you...it's good."
"THANK YOU, LADY PALUTENA!" Pit yelled, as Miko went up to the spot. "No way, Miko...do you-"
"Hold up, how do you have a hologram that good!" Miko just said.
"You work around your own limitations, which I don't really have as a goddess." Palutena realised she forgot something. "Sorry, I'm Lady Palutena of Skyworld and the reason why Pit's still alive."
"It's true...mostly!" Pit said. "Miko, Lady Palutena! Lady Palutena, Miko!"
"OH MY GOD, I'm talking to a real goddess!" Miko shouted. "Are you from a video game."
"No." Palutena finished her guidance. "Fight with your mind, Pit."
"Oh yeah! We're not going to be eliminated today!" Miko yelled. "As long as I got you, Pit, we're going to own these awesome challenges harder than eever!"
"I feel the same way, though! Aside from that though...do you Chris would eliminate Tiana at the campfire ceremony?" Pit just asked.
"He would because he's crazy."
"...I don't know."
*Miko's confessional*
The purple-haired gamer was very happy.
"I like these challenge, but Chris is definitely a cruel guy! He's almost a supervillain, but it's not like that's a problem or anything...for no reason at all!" Miko shouted. "...This camera's got no tape, right?"
*Pit's confessional*
He was blushing like an idiot.
"...I don't know if that helped, but that sorta helped! Seriously, what do I do now?!" Pit shouted, freaking out in front of the camera. "Yeah, wait a second...do these cameras have tape?"
He punched the camera, but it was static for only a second, as he shook his fist in pain.
"OW!"
*Confessional cut*
Clover, Uraraka, Mystique Sonia and Sakura had a meeting of sorts to at least cheer up the half-mutant girl as she definitively getting a lot of votes which were well-deserved apparently.
"Seriously, what is this, guys?" Kipo asked. "I messed up today."
"I get that, but you deserve to be happy. And more importantly, I'm pretty sure you got hit by some coercion." Uraraka said. "Something tells me that you didn't do that willingly."
"But I did. I could've not taken his suggestion, lose the goat and end up in the bottom 4 teams...because he wasn't helping." Kipo said.
"Still though, we did our best to celebrate everything about you." Uraraka stated, slowly getting more and more nervous. "In twenty minutes...or less."
"You...could've not." Mystique Sonis answered, seeing that Uraraka was about to hurl or something like that.
"IT'S OK!"
Kipo looked surprised, as Uraraka nervously blurted that out, as they were finally in a space of astronomy...or astrology if the inaccuracies that showed up more often than not in the hastily constructed hut that was done in twenty minutes.
But one thing she was definitely...was in a better mood.
"I'm glad that you guys tried, but you guys kinda messed up in a bunch of places! But this is probably the best going away gift that I have." Kipo said, ready to bring in the hug. "You wanna hug?"
"Big arm hug?" Sakura asked.
"...Big arm hug." Kipo said, taking some time to take in the memories.
With the big arm hug, no-one could really notice that Kipo was crying tears from her friends besides Mystique Sonia, who didn't really care that much.
"Trust me, we're gonna miss you just like we missed Penny and Sammy and I bet you're going to have a lot of fun watching us do well. Maybe me moreso." Mystique Sonia remarked, as Kipo just sighed.
"I don't know and I'd rather not guess." Kipo said.
*Clover's confessional*
Clover was frustrated at the lack of appreciation for the constellations.
"The stars on the walls and the nebulas or something? That was me, I tried to give the best stars of all time, The Big Dipper, The Little Dipper, some other stuff that isn't the realest, but still..."
*Mystique Sonia's confessional*
She was about to play some Smashin' things.
"Yasha wanted to tell me that Coachman couldn't give a single care to our friend who got thrown under the bus for his move or Tiana, who just happened to exist and got stomped!"
Smashin' Coachman's nonexistent representation.
"There's bigger problems than boyfriend kissers, supervillains, mean sidekicks, sabotaging farm boys and Alejandro, who is cute! Just some old man who's a supervillain!"
Yasha probably talked some shit, too.
*Confessional cut*
"As much as I would like to start this elimination ceremony, Tiana's kinda out of the competition because she can't walk no more! At least, it's one less elimination for you guys to choose, so any votes for her are void!"
"FUCK!" two people said.
"Thank you, Chris, at least you're not a white Facilier." Tiana said bitterly, stuck in a wheelchair. "Don't know what I'm gonna do after this, Chris."
"And that leaves 50 votes in total for the fifteen of you to handle! And some of you still have none to boot, which isn't that surprise...and those people are..."
...
...
...Of course, Chris drunk the tension in.
...
...for not that long, anyways.
"...Scott Pilgrim, Samurai Jack, Pinstripe & Cassie! Get your marshmallows, congrats on no votes."
"You guys really are nice for once!" Cassie caught the marshmallow.
"Seriously." Scott had to butt in, as Cassie rolled her eyes.
"All twelve of you at least have one to your name and I will say how much you have, but if you have your marshmallow, it means that you have less than six votes. There's eight of them, fresh from the campfire."
Cassie and Scott just shrugged, as Pit raised an eyebrow.
"Pit, Shego, Dante, Giovanni and Nicole..."
...
...
...
...
"...you're safe with only one vote."
...
...
...
Shego was pleased, as Tails was a bit scared of the potential.
"Tails..."
The two of them were nervous to suddenly get dropped like that.
"...you have the honour of having three votes to your name!"
...
...
...
...
"Campers, since there's three eliminations, I would go in reverse, just to spook you that little bit more!" Chris called out to Kipo, Snake, Miko and Tifa. "And honestly, it makes my job a bit harder!"
The chuckles from Chris put the fear of elimination into the four of them.
"Hold up, how?!" Miko asked. "Is it because Tifa's on the other team?"
"Probably is that." Tifa stated. "How many, though?"
...
...
...
...
"So, today, I'm not going to do that!" Chris announced. "And the last marshmallow..."
...
...
...
...
Kipo looked on in sadness, mostly with tears in her eyes.
...
...
Snake realised that it was real tactical, although he was very much pissed.
...
...
Miko looked at the people that had gotten the marshmallows so far.
...
...
Tifa wondered what kind of strategy got her all of the way up here.
Maybe it was some payback from Coachman or may it be some kind of-
"Tifa with a total of six votes..."
She was plain excited, as Miko looked mad.
"...is eliminated! Miko only has four!"
"Yeah, in your face, Tifa!" Miko celebrated, before looking at a miffed Tifa. "No offence."
"No offence really, but how did I get that many votes?" Tifa asked. "This doesn't make that much sense."
"...Giovanni's cool." Miko said, "But that makes only four votes."
"Something tells me Shego knows where the other two votes came from." Tifa then glared at the supervillain sidekick along with Miko.
Shego looked like she knew nothing about her elimination.
"Snake, you had nine or ten votes! and Kipo, you managed to earn a kinda impressive 25 votes...literally the most ever for an eliminated contestant and probably won't be beaten!"
"That's...ridiculous, but not surprising." Snake answered, dumping some dirt onto the ground. "If there was a candidate for elimination, it would be me."
"No way that people hate me that much! But I did..." Kipo realised what had happened. "...that thing, so I can't blame them. 25, though!"
Kipo was trying her hardest to figure something out.
"You literally stepped on one of our better teammates, it definitely warranted that number." Snake said.
"Yeah, I guess I shouldn't listen to Coachman, though. I should've just stopped being the mega-jaguar...Snake?" Kipo asked.
Snake was in the middle of realising something, as Shego didn't look that surprised.
"Something tells me that he did it because you looked to be a strong player here." Snake guessed. "I don't need recon to tell you that he had something planned, maybe your elimination."
"...Actually it was an accident, which might be a lot worse than you think. Even by accident, he found a way to eliminate two different people." Kipo answered, as Snake was starting to become panicked.
"Chef, I'll cut your salary-" Chris then saw that the chef was suddenly there. "-please take these three eliminated contestants into the Dock of Shame!"
"Campers, you got any words to say?" Chris said, which didn't matter that much. "Eh, you don't..."
"Shego, you set up something-" Tifa stated, right before that the other two contestants that was on top of the thing were off on the Sling-Yacht.
Tiana apparently managed to get carried into the insides of the thing by some guy...along with Josh.
"Well, that puts a cap on another episode well done! Four more eliminations, at least two of which were filled with some drama and much more important, there was pain, freaky animals and more than your fair share of action! Hang on, next time, there's going to be another episode of...
He had to do the thing.
"...Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!"
...
...
...
...
...Wait, there's nothing here.
...
...
...
...Actually, there's something here!
...
...
Oh wait, it's just Josh genuinely enjoying the speed of the Sling-Yacht and realising one thing.
"Damn, I wonder how Chris much settles for!" He remarked with a smile.
...
...
...
Hold up, there's something else.
...
...
...
Wait a minute!
...
...
...
...THERE IT IS!
Shego and Nobara went back to their alliance of six that was the Drama Berets, and the supervillain was a little bit pissed after being the only one that was not immune.
"So, what happened? Did my plan to knock Tifa off go through?" Tanya answered. "It's not really like you'd get that many votes."
"Yeah, yeah, she's gone and so is Tiana." Shego snapped. "Quit getting on my case about this challenge being fair."
"I didn't say that stuff! I said that this challenge was practically designed to be unfair."
"Good. And to be honest, I don't really need saving. Whoever sent down that one vote to me is gonna pay!"
"I bet they have no paper, no stacks and probably gay." Riley shouted. "Still ain't telling who I voted for 'cause I'm honest!"
"Sucks to be them right now!" Shego remarked. "Anyways, who are we going after next?"
"Yeah, who's the stupid nigga this challenge?"
Muscle Man looked at him seriously, as Catalina raised an eyebrow.
"Are you gonna stop saying that word! I'm gonna tell your grandad!" Catalina shouted. "He must have a belt somewhere!"
"Stop with that bullshit, he already knows. What about your dad, bitch?"
"Oh, what about your dad!"
Muscle Man just found something good, as he picked up another Chef Head.
"Shut up for a second! I just found this, bros!"
Everyone, even Nobara (who was just trying to tolerate the other people in the alliance) paid attention to the Chef Hatchet Head, which so far...hasn't been used at all.
"You don't know what it does! The Chef Hatchet Head could do some bullshit like any of this show just does." Nobara said, as Muscle Man looked at her.
"Whoa, I wasn't gonna use it, though. This must be something." Muscle Man said quickly, putting the Chef Head in his pocket.
"...It must be, right?" Tanya asked.
To be continued in Episode 23 on a giant-ass mountain with the 48 remaining campers doing their best to not hate Chris McLean's idea of a fun challenge!
It's not fun, I can tell you that, as when there's snow on Pahkitew...babies were literally being carried AROUND, Dave sealed his fate of not getting Sky and other insane stuff happened as per usual for that season.
This time around, there's not really any babies or insane battles from other contestants in order to get to the top of Mount Pahkitew, just generally assorted pain in the asses for the 48 remaining contestants.
And maybe a few friends that just wanted to make their time "beatdown time" on the way to the top of Mount Pahkitew, which has a sauna that some contestants could access...and uh, things get wild due to classic team shenanigans.
Mostly 'cause of four people from each team having problems with each other (Guess and you may win five dollars...), Samus, Pit, Miko and a few others having problems and the Drama Berets' issues showing up in full force.
Long story short, the challenge isn't complicated, but the drama is and Kyo and Muscle Man seperately have a Chef Head
See ya in sometime next week and yes, Josh is joining the Playa De Losers and more than likely will take some of Chris' money through the legal system.
Snake...I had in my mind for damn long time, as he's in quite the casual relationship with Samus as adults would do and you may think that it wasn't a big deal (which is kinda true in a sense) and obviously, Samus may have been chilling with him, but...
...Solid Snake, Liquid Snake and especially Naked Snake would be major threats to any Total Drama season and thanks entirely to Azula's surprising influence and the other team's few extra votes, he's a goner. (I may have forgotten Snake x Samus, but Samus definitely hasn't.)
Kipo's in a Netflix series that's consistently decent and like Netflix with a lot of its show, she got fucked over in a circumstances that wouldn't make sense, now you'd think that Coachman did this intentionally with how the incident went. He didn't, which is much scarier than you'd think.
(That being said, she's a nice girl in a team of a few notable villains and mostly nice people, so yeah.)
Tiana also got completely fucked by Coachman, getting injured or whatnot and if she didn't get injured, coincidentally Giovanni would have gone home. (Again, she's just one of those characters that probably should have eliminated earlier, but she's one of those characters that could win this with the right moves.)
Finally, Tifa Lockhart appearing in Infinite: Bon Voyage would make you think that I planned this elimination out for a long while.
No, she's actually the last minute elimination and due to the Drama Berets, she got messed up along the way and as I'm writing this, I'm sure that I tried my best but you could definitely tell that "research problems" kicked in for her.
And those are this episode's elimination.
