Hey worldwide web,
Another chapter! Which means I've hit my quota for the year. See you all in 2025! Kidding. I was a lot more excited to write this chapter, so I hope you all enjoy. It's been a LONG time since I first planned this story, so a lot of my original plans have changed in terms of who's going to be eliminated when. I do think my original final two will still remain the same, however. Anyways, we're a long way from that, so just enjoy the ride!
"Last time on Total Drama: Revenge of the Action…" Chris' recap was accompanied by footage from the last episode. "We took our contestants to court, with the help of Courtney, and discovered that under no circumstances should any Total Drama alumns ever be allowed to practice law. Seriously. Unless, of course, they're Sam. That's right, our gamer freak broke out of his usual funk to take his team to victory. And then he quit. Lame. Doing so saved Jo from elimination, which I'm sure the Screaming Foleys are super grateful for. How much damage can Jo do before she gets voted out again? And what will today's challenge bring? You won't want to miss another second of Total…Drama…Revenge of the Action!"
Theme Song
"I can't believe that Sam actually quit," Zoey said as she sat with the other Killer Riggers for breakfast. Mike was also seated beside her. "He was doing so well."
"And now we're down another person," Eva grumbled, stabbing the eggs on her plate with a fork. "Great…"
"At least you're not stuck with Jo and Scott both still on your team," Mike said, glancing at the Screaming Foleys' table. Scott was giving him a smug look as he chewed noisily on his breakfast. Cody was seated beside him.
"Speaking of, where is Sue Sylvester?" Anne Maria asked, looking around. "I haven't seen her all morning."
"She didn't say much last night," Sadie commented. "Maybe everyone voting for her, like, hurt her feelings."
"The only feelings getting hurt will be yours if you don't stop talking about me," Jo said, appearing behind Sadie. "Er, I mean, you'll be feeling a lot of hurt after- Oh whatever! You know what I mean!"
"Hey Jo-" Zoey began, but Jo had already snatched up Sadie's plate to take for her own and gone to the Screaming Foleys' table.
"Um, that is soooo not okay," Katie said as Jo sat down across from her and started eating Sadie's food. "Give that back to her, right now!"
"It's okay, Katie," Sadie murmured. "I-I'll just go get another plate." She quickly went to go get more food.
Confessional
Katie: Ugh! Jo gets on my nerves, like, so much. And she's always being rude to Sadie, and Sadie's always too nice to say anything. Well nobody treats my BFFFL like garbage!
Katie glared at Jo. "Just because you would have gotten voted off last night doesn't mean you get to be such a meanie about it!"
"Of course it does," Jo said, rolling her eyes. "You're all just lucky that I'm still here to carry us to victory in another challenge. Then maybe you'll realize how big of a mistake you almost made."
"Or we'll just vote you out again," Katie mumbled. Jo's eyes narrowed. Scott watched this all gone down, giving Cody and Staci a knowing look.
Confessional
Jo: How do I feel about almost being eliminated last time? Mad. Who do these losers think they are, voting out their team captain? Well I'll show them.
Confessional
Scott: Last night proved that I can beat Jo in a vote, which sure makes me feel a lot safer if we lose. But the problem is that once Jo is gone, all those goody-goodies are just going to target me next, and I don't think the merge is coming for a long time. Hmmm…
Jo and Katie continued to bicker as the rest of the Foleys ate their breakfast. At the other end of the table, Dawn turned to Brick, who had been trying to subtly scrawl something down in a notebook while shooting glances across the table..
"If I were to move seats, would that allow you to get a better view of Staci's bow?" she asked politely. Brick stared at her in shock, his hand immediately moving to cover up the little notebook.
"Wh-who said I was looking at Staci?" he asked, keeping his voice low so that none of the others could hear. They weren't paying him much attention, thankfully. "I definitely wasn't!"
Dawn raised an eyebrow. "My apologies, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable," she said. She watched as Brick slipped the little notebook into his pocket. "You know, I think it's wonderful that you've started to explore your interests and hobbies."
"I- Ahem, don't know what you're talking about," Brick said. He was starting to sweat. "I was just…uh…writing down some workout ideas. And I just happened to be looking at Staci. That's all."
Dawn gave him a look that said she didn't believe him. "Don't worry, Brick," she said, giving his shoulder a pat. "I have a feeling that by the time you're finished with this season you'll be a lot more comfortable with yourself." Brick opened his mouth to say something, but Dawn had already gotten up to go have a conversation with a nearby squirrel.
Confessional
Brick: I would never speak ill of a fellow soldier. But Dawn…really creeps me out. It's like she knows all my secrets. A-and there's no way she could know all of them…right?
"Attention contestants, please report to Set B for today's challenge," Chris announced over the intercom.
"What do you think the challenge is going to be today?" Cody asked Noah.
The bookworm shrugged. "I've stopped trying to guess," he said. "It'll suck no matter what."
"Ooh Katie, what if we're doing a fashion challenge?" Sadie asked.
"Oh my gosh, Sadie, that would be sooooo up our alley just like the baking challenge!"
"I know! And you'd sooooo win."
"No, you would sooooo win. Eeeee!"
"Eeeee!"
"EEEEE!"
"Shut up!" Jo snapped.
The contestants found themselves at Set B, where Chris was sitting cross-legged on the dirt, his eyes closed peacefully.
"Oh no, did Chris die again?!" Tyler asked nervously. "I don't know if I can handle another murder on set."
"Shhhh," Chris shushed. "I'm trying to commune with nature…" The contestants all exchanged confused glances as Chris continued to sit. A butterfly started to fly up to him.
"Has he officially lost it?" Scott asked.
"I suppose nature can heal even the most corrupt of souls," Dawn remarked. "Although I assumed one would at least need to have a soul to begin with."
Chris continued to sit peacefully as the butterfly landed beside him, before pulling out a flyswatter and smashing the bug. Dawn let out an audible gasp and several of the other contestants recoiled.
"And that's survival of the fittest," Chris said, standing up. "We decided that after how intense our last few episodes have been, we'll give you a bit of a breather. So today's challenge will be all about nature documentaries!"
"Pffft, easy," Jo said with a scoff. "Nature's got nothing on me."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that one, Jo," Chris remarked. "Nature documentaries are tough to film. Filmmakers can spend years trying to get the perfect shot for what ends up being maybe a twenty-second clip. Today, you're going to be trying to get as many of those picture-perfect moments as possible." He led the teams to a series of small, dome-shaped buildings. "Each of these domes contains a set meant to mimic an environment somewhere in the world, complete with animals from that habitat. Each team has an hour in three of the six domes to get their clip. After you've done the filming, you'll edit and put narration over it, before presenting the results to our judges. The highest scoring team at the end of the challenge gets immunity."
"B, you did a really good job with the cameras in the reality show challenge," Zoey said. B gave her a thumbs up.
"Ahem," Blaineley interrupted. "He did a really good job because of my leadership."
"Uh…right," Zoey said awkwardly.
"Oh my gosh, Blaineley, you should do the narration!" Sadie suggested excitedly. "It's like being the host of a show, but never showing your face."
Blaineley considered this. "Hmmm, I suppose I am pretty good at reading from a teleprompter. Okay fine. I'll do it."
"So what do the rest of us do if we're not narrating or filming?" Tyler asked.
"You'll be the ones going into the domes and trying to make stuff happen," Chris explained. "People don't want to see the day by day lives of animals. They want the exciting stuff! The danger! So go make that happen. Oh, and one more thing. Since the Foleys have a huge number advantage, two of them will be sitting this challenge out."
"I'll do it," Noah volunteered. Nobody had any major objections to that.
"Who else wants to sit out?" Mike asked.
"Actually, that other person has to be Dawn," Chris said. "Since she can talk to animals, it wouldn't exactly be fair, now would it?"
"Um, I can talk to animals too," Staci said. Nobody believed her.
"So then who's going to be our camera person?" Scott asked. "Cody?"
"That works for me," Cody said, shrugging.
"Ooh, I'll do the narrating," Staci volunteered. "My great-great grandfather David narrates documentaries all the time." She cleared her throat. "I can even do a British accent," she said in an eerily perfect imitation of a British man.
"How did you…do that?" Mike asked in disbelief.
Staci blinked. "You just have to draw out your vowels," she said, as if she hadn't just changed her entire voice mere seconds ago.
"So Staci's our narrator," Jo concluded. "Fine. Let's get this show on the road already."
"Remember, you each get three domes for an hour," Chris reminded them all. "On your mark…get set…go!" The two teams raced to grab their cameras and find their first domes, while Dawn and Noah were left with Chris.
Confessional
Dawn: While it's a shame I'm unable to commune with whatever creatures Chris has trapped in those horrible domes, at least it will be a relatively quiet day.
Confessional
Noah: Am I worried about my team voting me off for sitting the challenge out? Nah. We're all just going to vote for Jo if we lose again.
"Th-the least Chris could have done was give us friggin' coats," Anne Maria said, her teeth chattering as she trudged through the artificial tundra with the rest of her teammates. B was in the back, recording footage of the landscape.
"It's really impressive that Chris was able to make this look so realistic," Zoey commented as snow fell around them.
"Where are all the sha-animals?" Lightning asked, looking around. "There's gotta be a tiger or something around here."
"I-I think I see something over there," Tyler said, shivering. He pointed to some dark shapes in the distance. The Killer Riggers got closer until a group of penguins came into view. The birds chattered and waddled around in the snow, oblivious to the team's presence.
"Awww, I love penguins," Sadie said. B pointed his camera at the animals and began to record. Sadie took a few steps forward.
"Sadie, maybe you shouldn't get so close," Zoey warned.
"They're just penguins, Red," Anne Maria scoffed, "relax. Besides, Chris said we gotta make 'em do something exciting." Zoey frowned, but didn't say anything.
"I can't believe how many of them there are," Tyler said. At first it had just seemed like there were a dozen or so penguins, but now that the group was closer they could see there was at least a hundred penguins. "Is it just me or are they all moving together?" The others could see that each penguin seemed to move completely in sync with the others.
"I don't like that," Zoey remarked.
"They're so cute," Sadie said, crouching down to pet one. "Aww, hello there- Ow!" The penguin squawked and pecked Sadie's outstretched hand. The other penguins all turned to stare at her. "Sorry, I- Ow! Ahhhh!" Sadie screamed as the penguin continued pecking at her arms and legs with its sharp beaks. The other penguins all turned in unison to stare at the other Killer Riggers.
"Sha-run!" Lightning yelled before taking off in a sprint toward the exit. The penguins screeched and began to follow. The other Killer Riggers screamed and took off running after Lightning. B held the camera over his shoulder to record while he ran.
"Anne Maria, I told you this was a bad idea!" Zoey cried. She didn't dare look over her shoulder to see if any penguins were right behind her.
"Now is so not the time, Red," Anne Maria snapped. She pulled out her hairspray and sprayed a couple of penguins that had found their way into her hair. Eventually the Riggers found the dome exit and were able to escape. The penguins didn't follow. Everyone stood catching their breath and checking themselves for penguin-inflicted wounds.
"You guys look terrible," Blaineley commented. There wasn't a scratch on her.
"Where were you?" Tyler asked.
"Out here waiting," Blaineley remarked. "What? I'm the narrator, not the cameraman." Everyone glared at her. "Okay fine, I'll go into the next one. Hey, you're missing someone." The others looked around, doing a headcount.
Anna Maria gasped. "Oh my gawd, the penguins killed Sadie!" she exclaimed. The door to the dome opened and Sadie staggered out. She looked even more beat up than her teammates.
"I…I like…made it," she said, before collapsing onto the ground.
"On second thought, maybe I'll wait outside with Sadie," Blaineley suggested. The looks she got from her teammates weren't promising.
Confessional
Blaineley: I'm not really an animal person. I hosted The Puppy Bachelorette, sure, but I actually never interacted with any of the dogs. We shot it all in front of a green screen and then used editing to make it look like I was there. Don't judge me, do you know how many shots you have to get to work with those dogs?
The Screaming Foleys had found themselves in a much different dome than the tundra. They were in a desert. The sun glared down at them as they tried to walk through the sand dunes. Brick had taken the lead at first, until Jo got tired of not being in front and made him stand behind her. Since then, the two had been going back and forth trying to figure out who was actually going to lead the rest of the team.
"I wonder if heat stroke is more painful than having to listen to this," Scott said dryly.
"My great-great-great-"
"Okay there is no way someone you're related to invented heat stroke," Scott interrupted.
"Ya, of course not," Staci said, rolling her eyes. "That would be ridiculous. What I was saying was that my great-great-great-great-great-great aunt Rachel discovered heat stroke. Before her, nobody knew why they died when they got too hot."
"Of course, how could I have made that mistake?" Scott asked sarcastically.
As the team continued to march through the sand, they kept their eyes peeled for any wildlife. "It's so hot," Katie whined. "We're, like, never going to find anything out here in all this sand. I don't even know what kind of animals live in a desert!"
"It really sucks that both Dawn and Noah are out of this challenge," Mike agreed. "Dawn knows a lot about nature and Noah seems really smart." He wiped some sweat off his brow. "Ugh, this heat… It's the kind of thing that Chester would be complaining about right now."
"But since he's not here, that's a good thing, right?" Katie asked.
"Kind of…it's complicated," Mike admitted. "It's good that I'm getting better at staying myself, but the others are still part of me, you know?" Katie nodded, despite the fact that she had no idea. "I spent so much of my life trying to get rid of them, and now that I have them under control I think I'm scared of losing them." Katie nodded again. "Sorry, that's like…super deep. I've never told anyone that before. You're just really easy to talk to."
"I get that all the time," Katie said. "And for what it's worth…I'm like, really glad you told me. Even if I don't really get it, I really hope it works out for you. And them."
Mike smiled. "Thanks, Katie." When he looked away, a small blush appeared across Katie's face.
Confessional
Katie: Mike is like, super sweet, and I totally like hanging out with him. Too bad we're both taken. He's got Zoey and I've got Justin and Trent. Heh, but imagine…
Confessional
Mike: Growing up, I didn't really have a ton of friends. There was Chester's bridge club and Svetlana's gymnastics coach, but that was it. Cameron and Zoey were the first friends I had who were my age. And then I…got Cameron eliminated. *sigh* But Katie's nice!
"We've been in here for almost an hour," Scott groaned. "And we haven't seen anything!" He looked at Ezekiel. "You! Get all animalistic or whatever and find something."
"I-I can't really do that anymore, eh," Ezekiel said. "But let me try." He cupped a hand over his ear. "I think I hear something this way." He knelt down and started to shuffle across the sand. "Right here, eh!"
Cody aimed the camera at Ezekiel and started rolling. "Uh…am I supposed to be seeing something?" he asked.
Ezekiel looked at the ground beside him confused. "Uh, but it was right here," he said. "It was a scorpion and- AH!" He yelped as a large black scorpion scuttled across his face. He ran around, flailing his arms as Cody continued to film. The scorpion stung Ezekiel in the center of his forehead.
"Attention Screaming Foleys." Chris' voice echoed throughout the dome. "You've got two minutes before you have to head to the next dome. Pack it up!" Ezekiel continued screaming in the background as the Screaming Foleys made their way to the exit.
"Don't worry Sadie, there shouldn't be any penguins out here," Zoey said as the Killer Riggers walked through their second dome. A sprawling savanna surrounded them, complete with tall grass and a bright sun. The occasional acacia tree dotted the landscape.
Sadie walked behind Zoey, next to Anne Maria. She was covered in bandages from being pecked so many times. "But like, won't there be lions?" she asked nervously.
"Uh, maybe," Zoey admitted.
"Don't listen to Red," Anne Maria told Sadie. "You'll be fine, just stick close to the group and don't go trying to pet the first thing you see."
Confessional
Anne Maria: Don't get me wrong, I love Sadie, she's one of my girls. But you've seen this show, right? Miss Girl's like, one personality trait is getting lost in the woods.
"Ugh, this heat is so not good for my hair," Blaineley complained as she walked beside B. She looked over at her teammate, who was filming some more scenery. "So…you don't talk at all. What's up with that?"
B just glanced at her and shrugged. Blaineley frowned.
"Did you know that out of everyone on this show, you have the least amount of fanfictions written about you?" Blaineley asked. B raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, even less than Tyler. And nobody wants to write about Tyler."
"Hey!" Tyler snapped from the front of the group.
B rolled his eyes and walked away from Blaineley. She was about to say something to him, when she noticed someone was missing. "Where did Lightning go?" she asked her teammates. They all looked around. "Okay, if I had to come into this dome, there's no way he got to sit out."
"I thought I just saw him," Tyler remarked, scratching his head.
"Guys! Look!" Lightning's voice called out from behind some tall grass. "Lightning found a puppy!" The football star dashed out of the grass, holding an animal in his arms.
"Lightning," Zoey said nervously, "that's not a puppy, that's a hyena. And it looks like an adult…"
Lightning looked at the fully grown hyena in his arms. "Huh, so that's why it was so heavy," he said, setting the animal down. The hyena began to growl. "Uh…nice hyen-AH!" Lightning ran back into the grass as the hyena ran after him. The grass shook as Lightning's screams increased in volume.
Blaineley looked at B. "Are you getting any of this?" she asked. B nodded. "Hmmm," she said, thinking. "Maybe if this is how the challenge is going, we need to take this in a different direction. Keep filming, I've got an idea for how this will all come together." B continued to let the camera record as Lightning eventually fought off the hyena and returned to the rest of his team.
"Are you, like, okay Lightning?" Sadie asked.
"N-never better," Lightning said, stumbling a little. "Lightning just needs to take a little nap…" His eyes rolled back as he collapsed on the ground.
"Maybe some of us should stay with him while the rest of you look for more animals," Anne Maria offered. B, Blaineley, Zoey, and Eva went to keep filming while Anne Maria, Sadie, and Tyler stayed behind.
"How does Chris even fit a mountain in a dome?!" Scott asked in disbelief. The Screaming Foleys were shocked to find that the second dome they went into was a literal mountain range that they had to climb.
"He must have gotten approved for a much bigger budget this year," Katie said as she inched across the cliffside, trying not to fall. Mike held out his hand to help keep her steady.
As the team got to more solid footing, Cody focused in on a group of animals nearby. "Hey look," he said. "Sheep!"
"Actually, I think those are goats," Brick commented.
"No way Bricks-for-Brains," Jo scoffed. "Those are totally sheep."
"Look at their horns. They're totally goats."
"Uh, they've got wool. They're sheep!"
"They're goats!"
"Sheep!"
"Goats!"
"Sheep!"
The Screaming Foelys looked back and forth between Brick and Jo as they continued to argue. Cody continued to film the animals as they grazed on mountain grass.
"Should we stop them?" Mike asked.
"Eh, they'll tire themselves out," Scott said with a shrug.
Confessional
Scott: I grew up on a farm, they're totally goats. But if Brick and Jo want to keep arguing and wasting our time, that works for me. One less target on my back.
Ezekiel approached Brick and Jo. "I think they're goats, eh," he said.
Jo glared at him. "Oh yeah?" she said. "Go ask 'em yourself!" She grabbed Ezekiel by the collar of his shirt and threw him at the animals. The mountain goats cried out in alarm, and one rushed forward to headbutt Ezekiel. With a pained cry, the farm boy went tumbling down the cliffside.
"That was uncalled for!" Brick exclaimed. "Come on soldiers, we've got a rescue mission." He started to climb down after Ezekiel.
"Great teamwork Jo," Scott said sarcastically as everyone prepared to climb. "It's like you want to go home."
Jo glared at Scott, but when he wasn't looking her face turned into a look of worry.
Confessional
Jo: Okay, fine. Maybe I've been coming in too hot this whole season. It's not my fault I got stuck with a team full of weaklings! But they did almost vote me out last time… Aw crud, does this mean I have start playing…ugh…nice?
The Screaming Foleys spent most of their remaining time in the mountain dome rescuing Ezekiel. He was pretty banged up, but he was alive.
"How's it going…buddy?" Jo asked with a forced smile.
"What'd you push me off the cliff for, eh?!" Ezekiel asked, groaning in pain.
"Uh, technically, it was the sheep who pushed you off the cliff," Jo pointed out. Ezekiel's eyes narrowed. "But uh, let's not focus on the specifics. The important thing is that I came here, with everyone else, to rescue you!"
"Does it really count if you're the one who put him in danger in the first place?" Katie asked dryly. Jo just glared at her. "You haven't even apologized."
"Oh come on, you don't really expect me to-" Jo's voice trailed off as she saw everyone looking at her. "Ugh, okay. Freak-zekiel- I mean…Ezekiel. I. Am…
…
…
The Screaming Foleys leaned forward.
…
…
The mountain goats leaned forward.
…
…
The snow leopard lying in wait leaned forward.
…
…sorry." Everyone relaxed a little. "Sorry that you're so bad at falling off cliffs!" Everyone groaned.
"I am so glad you're going to be gone soon," Katie said, starting to walk away. Mike and most of the others followed, leaving her standing with Scott.
Jo folded her arms over her chest. "Well…whatever," she said. "I don't have to apologize for anything." Scott just shook his head and walked away. Behind Jo, the snow leopard growled. "Oh, what do you want?!" The leopard roared and lunged at Jo, who took off running.
"Alright people, this is our last shot," Blaineley said as the Killer Riggers walked through the tropical forest that made up their final dome.
"We really lucked out with this dome," Zoey said. "I mean, look at all the animals!"
Indeed, the jungle was full of life. Birds flew between the trees, insects buzzed and crawled all over the place, and there were even a couple of snakes slithering through the brush. B was filming as much as he could, especially after the relatively lackluster domes they had been in before.
"It's so pretty," Sadie remarked with a sigh. She had somewhat recovered from her penguin attack.
"Pretty won't get us the best score," Blaineley pointed out. "We need something exciting. Something…like that!" She gestured up ahead to a group of gorillas sitting on the ground. They were plucking leaves off of the ground and chewing tree bark.
"I don't know, aren't gorillas kind of dangerous?" Tyler asked nervously. "I feel like the last few times we found some cool animals they ended up attacking us."
"Oh please, we use gorillas in showbiz all the time," Blaineley said, rolling her eyes. "The animal trainers say they're the easiest primates to work with. Now go out there and make some new friends." She slapped Tyler on the back, sending him falling to the ground. B helped Tyler up and then pointed at Blaineley, and then to the gorillas. "Me? No, because on the off chance these gorillas are dangerous, which they're not, if I get mauled then I won't be able to do the voiceover."
"I'll do it," Eva grumbled. "Sasquatchanakwa was like three gorillas in one." She marched over to the gorillas. They eyed her cautiously, but didn't attack.
"Okay I can see it now," Blaineley whispered as the rest of the Killer Riggers watched. "Eva's like, basically half ape already, so they must trust her."
"That's not very nice," Zoey commented.
"But it was kinda funny," Anne Maria said.
Eva continued to walk around the gorillas. One of them even offered her a piece of fruit, which she accepted. B filmed the entire interaction, until one of the gorillas caught sight of him and they all took off into the brush.
"Eva, that was so so soooooo cool!" Sadie said, clapping her hands. "How did you do that?"
"I don't know," Eva said, looking somewhat embarrassed. "I just glared at whichever ones looked at me funny."
"Do we have enough footage?" Blaineley asked B. He reviewed the tape and gave her a thumbs up. "Perfect. Now let's go. We've got to edit and I need to be on vocal rest.
Confessional
Blaineley: My team wasn't too pleased with me in the last challenge, but that doesn't matter. I'm going to carry my team to victory and then there's no way they're going to want to get rid of me. Wait…am I actually starting to like this game?!
"No way!" Scott shouted as he team tried to pry him off of the door to their third dome. "I'm not doing it! You can't make me!"
"Quit being such a baby!" Jo hollered, grunting as she tried to move Scott. "How is he so strong?!"
The third dome had opened up to reveal a literal ocean, with nothing but water as far as the eye could see. For legal reasons, Chris had provided them with scuba equipment, and ensured that the camera equipment was "most likely probably waterproof." The only problem was that Scott absolutely refused to even touch the water due to his fear of sharks that had formed last season.
"I don't like the ocean," Scott said desperately. "Water in general just freaks me out. I don't even take baths anymore!"
"You didn't take baths before you became afraid of sharks either," Mike murmured. "Come on, let's just leave him." Most of the Screaming Foleys had already jumped into the water, leaving Jo, Scott, and Staci behind.
"If you go, I'll be in an alliance with you," Jo offered.
"What kind of deal is that?!" Scott scoffed. "You're dead meat. An alliance with you gives me nothing."
"Actually, we don't have enough people to control the votes, ya," Staci said.
"Shut it!"
"Sounds like you do need me," Jo remarked. "And as much as I'd rather be shark food, I need your help too. What do you say?"
Scott considered it. On one hand, Jo was probably the least popular person on the team. On the other hand, Scott himself was probably the second least popular person on the team. "Okay fine," he relented. "But there better not be any sharks in this water."
"Eh, there's probably not gonna be any sharks."
There were, in fact, sharks. A lot of them. And Scott had immediately panicked, flailing around and trying to escape. This only drew the sharks in further, and while Cody was fine to film from afar, the sharks had also chased away any of the other fish and sea animals that were in the dome. After a few minutes of Scott being chased by the sharks, the team was forced to retreat and end their filming.
The two teams regrouped with Chris outside of the domes. "I see you've all come out of the domes mostly intact," he commented. "And hopefully with plenty of useful footage. Before you get to editing your documentaries, I thought it'd be a good idea to introduce this episode's guest. He's the perfect fit for today's theme, it's…Geoff!"
Geoff walked out from behind one of the buildings and waved to the group. "Yo, sup dudes?" The others just looked confused.
"Uh, not to be rude, but why exactly is Geoff the perfect fit for this episode?" Zoey asked.
"Because he's a party animal," Chris replied. "Get it?" Nobody laughed. "Ugh, whatever. Geoff will be our third judge alongside myself and Chef. So keep that in mind when putting together your clips."
"I'm totally stoked, dudes!" Geoff said. He looked at everyone. "So many new faces, the after-party for this season is gonna be LIT. And hey Noah, Cody, Tyler-" His face contorted into a look of pure disgust. "Blaineley."
Confessional
Blaineley: The judge is Geoff? As in my number one hater? Which is so embarrassing because Geoff is a D-lister at best. Blaineley Stacey Andrew O'Halloran is a household name…sort of! I should be having beef with celebrities of a much higher caliber…
"Do you think that Geoff's going to give us a bad score because Blaineley's the narrator?" Zoey asked B as he did the editing on the footage. The silent guy just shrugged. "I guess we can't switch, but if we had known ahead of time…" B thought for a moment, and then gave Zoey a thumbs up. "Great! I uh…don't really know what you're trying to say, but I hope it works out!" B nodded and got back to editing.
Nearby, Blaineley was recording her lines for the narration. "Serious nature documentaries are so last decade," she explained to Anne Maria and Sadie. "And Geoff's about as deep as a contact lens. So I'm going to go for a more comedic documentary."
"Do we have that kind of footage?" Sadie asked.
"Most of our clips from the first couple of domes are just you and Lightning getting hurt," Blaineley said. "So I can definitely spin those with a comedic tone. The whole scene with Eva and the gorillas will be kind of tough, but I'll make it work."
On the other side of the studio, the Screaming Foleys were editing their videos too. Cody didn't have much to work with, since most of the team's time had been spent arguing or being chased by sharks, but he had enough clips for Staci to talk about.
"It's kind of freaky how good of an accent you can do," Mike said as Staci recorded her lines.
"Ya, my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother invented accents," Staci explained. "Before her, everyone's voice sounded exactly the same." Mike just gave the camera a look.
Soon enough, it was time for teams to come together and view the clips. Chris, Chef, and Geoff sat at a panel while the contestants sat on bleachers.
"We'll go back and forth between each team," Chris explained. "Each clip will be given a score from each judge out of ten possible points. The team with the highest total score at the end of the challenge is the winner. Screaming Foleys, you're up first." Cody loaded up the first clip from the desert dome.
"Deserts," Staci said in her perfect impression of a British natural historian. "Are the world's driest environments. In fact, parts of the Atacama Desert in South America can go four years without rainfall."
"Nice facts, Staci," Brick commented. Staci smiled.
"The desert is a tough environment. And the creatures that call it home are even tougher." The clip cut to a shot of the scorpion crawling across the sand. "Like this desert scorpion, covered in a hard exoskeleton and armed with a tail barbed like a hypodermic needle. Watch as it delivers a sting with precision and speed."
What followed was the clip of Ezekiel being stung on the forehead, only in slow-motion. The prairie boy flailed his arms in slow-motion as well, before running around.
"Brutal," Geoff said, taking some notes on his scorecard.
"Yes, scorpions despite their small size can defend themselves from large threats in the blink of an eye. This scorpion lives to sting another day." The footage moved to the scorpion, now off of Ezekiel, scuttling away.
A few of the contestants clapped politely as the judges tallied their scores. Chris was first. "Staci, that was some wicked narration," he said. "I didn't know you had it in you. To be honest, I didn't think you had anything in you, but nice job. And I'm always happy to see Ezekiel get hurt. I'll give it a 7!"
Chef went next. "While I appreciated the narration and the scientific facts," he said, "I felt that the footage didn't fit the narration too well at the end. It seemed a little artificial. So I'm giving it a 5."
"I guess that leaves me, dudes," Geoff said. "I think I'm gonna also give it a 5. Killer narration bro," he gave Staci a nod, "but I did feel a little bad for the Zeke man. Hope you're feeling better, dude." Ezekiel gave him a weak thumbs up.
"That puts the Screaming Foleys on the board with a solid 17 points," Chris said. "Now, how will the Killer Riggers measure up?"
Confessional
Blaineley: Okay, so maybe Staci can do that little accent, but there's no way that snoozefest of an 'educational video' can beat the comedy gold I came up with.
B loaded in the first clip from the arctic dome.
The footage began with establishing shots of the arctic biome. "Welcome," Blaineley's narration said, "to an inside look at the real lives of Total Drama's animals. We'll start with a crowd favorite, the emperor penguin."
The camera cut to the group of penguins. "Penguins live in the coldest place on earth, and yet also manage to constantly look like they're attending a cocktail party." The narration paused.
"Come on people," Blaineley groaned, "that's a laugh line! Laugh!"
"But despite their dapper exterior, penguins are vicious." Sadie walked into the frame to pet one of the penguins. "As poor Sadie is about to find out in 3…2…1!" The penguin pecked at Sadie, and soon the other penguins began to attack. "Look at the way these birds move to pick off the weakest and slowest members of our pack." Footage of the Killer Riggers running for their lives played, although it was a bit difficult to see anything since B had also been running.
"Easy for you to say when you weren't even in the dome," Tyler grumbled.
"And there you have it folks. Penguins. Cute birds of the arctic? Or cold-blooded killers? You decide."
A few of the contestants clapped politely as the judges tallied their scores. "That wasn't bad," Mike said reassuringly to Zoey. "I thought it was better than our first clip." Zoey smiled and leaned against her boyfriend.
"We'll now give our scores," Chris said. "I enjoyed seeing Sadie get hurt, but a couple of the jokes weren't that funny. So it's a four for me. Chef?"
"I thought the camera work was shoddy," Chef remarked. "And we didn't even get to learn anything this time. It's a four for me too."
The Killer Riggers didn't seem thrilled with how this was going. "Well, even if we get another four, we won't be, like, that far behind the Foleys," Sadie said.
Geoff was ready to give his score. "I actually love penguins, dudes," he said. "So I thought that chase scene was awesome." The Killer Riggers looked at one another excitedly. "But since it was Blaineley doing the narrating, and I hate Blaineley, I got to give it a zero. Sorry dudes."
Confessional
Blaineley: Oh come on! Can't you all see how rigged this is?!
"We're so doomed," Blaineley said as they moved on to the second round of clips. "Even if our next two clips are incredible, Geoff's still going to keep giving us zeroes!" Beside her, B tapped his chin in thought.
The Screaming Foleys went again, this time with their footage of the mountain dome.
"Mountains, formations created by ancient tectonic plates, are a beautiful but dangerous environment," Staci narrated. "Life up here is subjected to freezing temperatures, intense winds, and the ever-looming danger of plummeting hundreds of feet in a single misstep." The footage showed the sheer height of the cliffs and some of the stunning views.
"Up here, only the hardiest of animals survive. Like these mountain goats." The camera panned to the herd of mountain goats."
"I thought we agreed that those were sheep," Jo complained.
"Mountain goats are natural climbers," Staci continued. "Dewclaws, that is a claw located higher up on the ankle than the foot itself, allow them to cling to the faces of the cliffside without issue. This allows them to graze in relative peace." The goats in the clip grazed. "However, not every goat is particularly peaceful."
Ezekiel was shown being thrown at the goats, and then subsequently being knocked down the cliffside. "Ah yes, it seems poor Ezekiel is not a mountain goat."
"That's it?!" Jo said once the clip ended. "You didn't even include the part where I got attacked by that snow leopard!"
"I couldn't really figure out how to fit it in," Cody said.
"Judges, what do we think?" Chris asked. "I really liked it. Although I do think it was a little repetitive for Zeke to be the one getting hurt again. More variety on the pain would have been nice. I give it a six. Chef?"
"Much like your last clip, I appreciated the commitment to providing scientific information," Chef said. "However, also like your last clip, it didn't seem like it fit the tone with Ezekiel getting hurt at the end. Four points."
"Yeah dudes, poor Zekester," Geoff agreed. "It's four points from me too, chief."
"That makes 14 points for this round, taking the Screaming Foleys to a total of 31 points," Chris said. "Can the Killer Riggers top that? I hope so, because that wasn't that good."
B queued up the clips from the savanna dome.
"If you thought the last clip was cold, just wait till you see this one," Blaineley said as some establishing shots of the savanna started to roll. "We traded our snow boots for some khaki shorts as we went on a safari. Or at least…we tried to."
The camera cut to some rustling grass. "While we might run into lions, or at least a cheetah or something like that, all we got was one of these!" Lightning emerged from the grass, holding the fully-grown hyena. "No, that's not a dog Lightning's holding, although he certainly thought so. It's actually a hyena. Did you know that hyenas are actually part of the cat family? Who would have thought? Not Lightning, that's for sure."
"Hey wait a minute," Lightning complained. "It sounds like you're making fun of Lightning!" Blaineley shrugged.
"Watch closely as the hyena immediately goes on the offense, biting Lightning with its powerful jaws." On-screen Lightning screamed in pain. "Hey, Lightning's lucky though. Hyenas have jaws strong enough to break bone. That didn't happen here though. Probably." The footage continued of Lightning being maimed. "Hyenas apparently eat their prey while it's still alive. We didn't let that happen though. Lightning's still with us."
"Do you think Geoff's going to give us another zero?" Anne Maria asked.
"Hmmmm," Chris said, thinking things over. "I appreciated not seeing the same people get hurt this time, and the camera work was a lot better. Seven points!"
"While I'm not a fan of all these violent clips," Chef remarked, "I like the continuity between the clips, and Blaineley was able to work in some facts while staying entertaining. Eight points."
"We're already doing better than the Foleys this round," Zoey said excitedly. "Now Geoff just-"
"Still zero points," Geoff said, shrugging. "Sorry dudes, it's not you, it's just her." He glared at Blaineley.
"Fifteen points puts the Killer Riggers at 23 total," Chris said. "Trailing behind the Foleys by 8 points, can they make a comeback?"
Blaineley slumped forward in her seat. "Well this sucks," she said bitterly. "All that work and there's no way we can make up for an automatic zero this next round."
After some thought, B raised his finger as if he had an "Aha!" moment and dashed off.
"Screaming Foleys, please present to us your final clip," Chris said.
The footage started with a view of a calm sea. "Ocean covers over 70% of the earth's surface," Staci said. "Of this, humans have only truly explored 5%. Meaning we know more about the moon than we know about our own seas."
The camera dipped below the surface, revealing a lively coral reef full of fish and other sea creatures.
"Hundreds of species depend on reefs for food and shelter. As you can see here-" The camera abruptly cut to Scott flailing around in the water, attracting sharks. "Among them are sharks, cartilaginous predators of the deep."
"Scott kind of ruined our setup," Cody remarked sheepishly.
"These blacktip reef sharks are far from the most dangerous of the shark family," Staci continued. "But for they lack in size and sheer power, they make up for in their numbers." A literal swarm of reef sharks began to chase after a terrified Scott. "Flailing actually further entices the sharks."
"Now you tell me," Scott grumbled as the clip ended.
"Okay, interesting," Chris remarked. "I loved the sharks, and I loved the screaming. Plus it wasn't Zeke again. 8 points! Chef?"
"I would have appreciated it if you had shown more than just the sharks," Chef said. "But it was better than the goats. 6 points."
"I'm gonna give it a 7," Geoff said. "It was nice to not see the Zeke man getting hurt, and sharks are totally cool."
"Not bad for the Foleys," Chris said, "that's a solid 21 points, putting them at a grand total of 52 points. Not…great considering that's out of 90 total, but oh well. Killer Riggers, show us what you've got!"
The Killer Riggers looked towards B, who was supposed to load in the final clip, but he wasn't anywhere around.
"Uh, where did B go?" Zoey asked.
"If he's not here to present the footage, it's an automatic zero," Chris explained. Fortunately for the Riggers, B rushed into the viewing area, holding the flash drive with the final clip. He seemed to be pretty out of breath.
"Where were you?" Blaineley asked. B of course gave no response as he ran the clip.
"Welcome to the jungle," Blaineley said as tropical scenery played on the screen. "We at Total Drama were incredibly privileged to get a glimpse of one of the jungle's rarest creatures: the gorilla." The gorilla family was shown eating leaves. "But, we're even more lucky to have gotten a chance to witness just how similar these great apes are to humans. For example, both gorillas and humans have a ridiculous amount of body hair."
A clip of Blaineley plucking her nose hairs was played.
"Wait a minute," Blaineley said in alarm as everyone laughed. "Th-that's not supposed to be the clip. It's supposed to be Eva shaving." Behind her, B just smirked.
The comparisons continued with Blaineley talking about an aspect of gorillas, only for the camera to cut to a clip of her doing something embarrassing. Scratching various parts of her body, chewing with her mouth open, smelling under her arms, and so on.
Everyone was laughing loudly as the footage came to an end. Everyone except Blaineley, of course. "That's enough!" she snapped. She glared at B. "You. Are so dead. How dare you humiliate me like that in front of everyone? I'll take you to court for libel!"
"Weren't you going to do the same thing to Eva?" Zoey asked.
"I- Well… Whatever! Now we're going to lose because there's no way that was funnier than what I had planned."
"I don't know, Blaineley," Chris said. "That was the funniest thing I've seen all day. I give it a 10!"
"It's a 10 from me too," Chef added. "Entertaining, but also thought-provoking about our interactions between apes."
Everyone looked at Geoff, expecting another zero. "Alright," he relented, "I'll give it a 10 too. I'd give it an eleven if I could."
"Which means with an extra 30 points…" Chris said as he did the math. "The Killer Riggers finish with a score of 52, beating the Screaming Foleys by a single point!"
"No freaking way!" Anne Maria exclaimed as she and her teammates celebrated. "B, that was genius!" She and a few of the others threw their arms around him. Blaineley continued to glower from her seat.
"Screaming Foleys," Chris continued. "I'll see you at another GIlded Chris Ceremony. Unless any of the Killer Riggers want to save us some time and quit now. Blaineley?"
"Over my dead body, Mclean."
"Hey, you said it, not me." Chris shrugged. "Alright, Geoff, thanks for your help today."
"Anytime, dudes," Geoff said. "Good luck, everyone but Blaineley. I'll see you all after you get booted." He gave them one final wave before heading out.
"So…" Katie said as the Screaming Foleys sat in the Craft Services Tent. "Who are we going to vote out?"
"Well it seems like our narrator and camera guy really screwed things up for us," Jo remarked, glaring at Cody and Staci.
"They did a great job, Jo," Mike defended. "You and Scott were the ones who screwed up our filming."
"As much as it kills me to agree with him, Mike's right about the first part," Scott said. "Cody and Staci aren't the reason we lost.
Confessional
Scott: Would I be defending them if they weren't both in my alliance? Heck no! But Jo's still public enemy number one, so I have to take advantage of that.
As the Screaming Foleys dispersed, Jo grabbed Scott by the arm and dragged him behind the tent. "Alright Dirt Muncher," she said. "You win."
"Go on," Scott said, smirking.
"They're going to vote me out tonight, and as dumb of a decision as that is, I can't really do anything about it. So I am once again offering to work with you." Scott pretended to stroke a beard he didn't have.
"What's in it for me?"
"I know you need more allies. Mike still hates your guts, and as soon as I'm gone you still won't be able to pull together the numbers. So if you want, I'll help you vote out Mike."
"If we try to vote for Mike and it doesn't work, we're screwed," Scott said. "We need to go for someone a little less well-liked on our team."
"I don't care who it is, as long as it's not me."
"Oh he is so dead," Blaineley seethed as she brushed her hair at one of the trailer's vanities.
"Give it a rest Blaineley," Anne Maria said, rolling her eyes. "He won us the whole challenge."
"Yeah," Sadie agreed. "Otherwise Geoff was probably going to give us another zero."
"We'll never know if my original clip would have won it for us or not, because B didn't even bother to air it," Blaineley said. "And now I have to deal with this PR nightmare. The second we lose he is so gone."
"Get in line," Anne Maria said. "We've still gotta send Zoey home."
"I thought you and Zoey weren't fighting anymore," Sadie pointed out.
"Just because she's managed, by some freaking miracle, to not totally annoy the crap out of me does not mean she isn't getting my vote at the next elimination ceremony." Anne Maria pulled a nail file out of her hair and began to work on her nails. "Besides, what has she done to help out in these challenges anyway? We've all been bustin' our asses and she came up with, what, half a clue last challenge?"
"That's a good point," Sadie admitted. "So like, is this an alliance?"
Anne Maria shrugged. "If being the best looking girls, and lady" she looked at Blaineley, "on the team counts as an alliance, then sure."
Blaineley considered this for a moment. "Neither of you are exactly fan favorites," she remarked. "But you're also not widely hated either. So being associated with you probably isn't too damaging for my image. Fine. But I reserve the right to not only withdraw from the alliance, but also completely deny ever being part of it in the first place.'
"Sure, whateva," Anne Maria said, rolling her eyes.
Confessional
Anne Maria: I am totally slaying this strategy stuff. I'm winning challenges left and right and now I've got a little alliance. You know, I really just came back to get a bunch of brand deals, but if I end up winning the whole thing then that's icing on the cake.
The Screaming Foleys gathered at the amphitheater for another Gilded Chris Ceremony. Chris stood at the podium in his blue tux, while Chef stood beside him in full khakis and a grey wig.
"Who's Chef supposed to be this time?" Mike asked.
"I'm Jane Gooddall," Chef said.
"Who?"
"That's what I thought you'd say," Chef grumbled. "Buncha kids don't know who Jane Gooddall is… Changed the face of primate conservation… Ignorant youth…" He continued to mumble to himself for a few awkward seconds.
"Anyways," Chris said, cringing a bit, "Let's get to the voting." Everyone pulled out their voting devices and cast a vote for the person they wanted eliminated. Chris looked at the printed off results. "Interesting…this could go a lot of ways. Dawn and Noah, neither of you were much help this challenge. Ezekiel, you got thrown off a cliff. Jo, you threw Ezekiel off a cliff. And Scott, you're kind of just a jerk."
"Meh," Scott said with a shrug.
"Gilded Chris statues go to Cody and Staci, for at least putting in some effort for this challenge." Staci and Cody each caught their statues. "Also safe are Brick and…Katie."
Dawn, Ezekiel, Jo, Mike, Noah, and Scott had yet to be deemed safe.
"Mike…Noah…and Dawn," Chris said. "You three are good to go." Each of them was tossed a Gilded Chris. Ezekiel and Jo leaned forward nervously, while Scott seemed pretty comfortable.
"Also safe is…
…
…
…
…
…
…Scott." Scott caught the Gilded Chris that was thrown his way. "Ezekiel and Jo…one of you will be going home."
"But, what did I do, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
Confessional
Scott: Eh, he didn't really do anything. But I figured he'd be the least missed on our team."
"The final Gilded Chris of the night goes to…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…neither of you. Yet." Everyone stared at Chris, confused. "Both Ezekiel and Jo received the same number of votes. So it's a tie!"
"Will there be a revote then?" Mike asked.
"Or maybe just send them both home?" Scott asked hopefully. Jo smacked the back of his head. "Ow!"
"Nope, we'll be doing a tiebreaker challenge," Chris explained. With a grunt of effort, he threw the Gilded Chris down the Walk of Shame, where it landed at the Lame-o-sine. "When I say go, whoever reaches the Gilded Chris first is the winner."
"Pffft, a foot race?" Jo said with a scoff. "Easy."
"Well it wouldn't be very on theme if we didn't add something extra to it," Chris said. "So we're going to release some of the animals from today's challenge to make things difficult. Now go!"
Jo and Ezekiel took off towards the Gilded Chris statue. Jo had an easy lead on Ezekiel, especially since she was injured. As she made it halfway down the Walk of Shame, a gorilla from the jungle dome appeared.
"Get lost!" Jo snapped. The gorilla roared, grabbing Jo and throwing her back towards the stage. "Ahhhh!"
"That was close, eh," Ezekiel said as he sidestepped the gorilla. He continued running, the Gilded Chris statue getting closer in view. "I'm almost there- Woah!" One of the mountain goats rammed into Ezekiel, sending him flying off to the side.
"These poor creatures," Dawn said from her spot on the bleachers. Jo had recovered from being tossed and started running again. She vaulted over a hyena and swatted away a few penguins. Ezekiel, meanwhile, had recovered from the goat and was starting to run again.
"I got it!" Jo declared, triumphantly holding up the Gilded Chris statue.
"And Jo once again narrowly avoids elimination," Chris announced.
"In your face!" Jo said, pointing at Ezekiel. "I- Huh?" She turned around to see the snow leopard sitting on top of the Lame-o-sine. It snarled and jumped at her. "AH!" Jo ran, the snow leopard chasing after her.
"We'll go save her eventually," Chris told the others. "If we remember. Ezekiel, that still means you're out, bud."
"Aww, okay," Ezekiel said, his shoulders slumping. He looked at his teammates. "Uh, bye everyone. Thanks for not voting me out first this time." He climbed into the Lame-o-sine and was driven away.
"Ugh, this is soooooo not fair," Katie whined. "We're still stuck with Jo."
"There's always the next ceremony," Mike said as the team started to disperse. He missed Scott, Cody, and Staci all glancing at one another.
Confessional
Scott: Jo's a total pain, but having her under my thumb for a couple episodes could be useful. And I don't think my team's even come close to suspecting I'm the one pulling all the strings. Heh, what a bunch of losers.
"Well it might not have been the most heart-wrenching of eliminations, but it sure wasn't what I was expecting," Chris admitted to the camera. "But at the end of the day, we've got one less freak on this film lot. Don't worry though, there's still plenty of pain and suffering to go around. Will Scott continue to run circles around the Screaming Foleys? Will the pretty girls plus Blaineley alliance go up in flames? And will Noah actually compete in a challenge? Hopefully, it is in his contract after all. Find out next time on another informative episode of Total…Drama…Revenge of the Action!"
VOTES
Brick: We agreed that if Jo couldn't prove herself to the team, we'd vote her off. And I'd say today she certainly earned herself an elimination.
Cody: Guess we're voting for Ezekiel. I don't really get the strategy, but as long as it isn't me…
Dawn: While I understand my team would rather see Jo leave, I must continue to cast a vote against Scott.
Ezekiel: I'm voting for Jo, eh. She pushed me off a cliff!
Jo: I'm voting for Freak-zekiel. I sure hope this works…
Katie: Bye Jo. Won't miss you one bit.
Mike: Just like last time, I don't trust Scott. Although I won't be too sad if Jo goes home either…
Noah: Meh, I'll vote for Jo I guess. I didn't really pay attention to this challenge that much.
Scott: From one farm kid to another, nothing personal Ezekiel. But uh, you're also a total loser so…
Staci: Ya, I'm voting for Ezekiel because Scott told me to.
Ezekiel (4 - Cody, Jo, Scott, Staci), Jo (4 - Brick, Ezekiel, Katie, Noah), Scott (2 - Dawn, Mike)
Killer Riggers: Anne Maria, B, Blaineley, Eva, Lightning, Sadie, Tyler, Zoey
Screaming Foleys: Brick, Cody, Dawn, Jo, Katie, Mike, Noah, Scott, Staci
Eliminated: Dakota, Cameron, Sierra, Sam (quit), Ezekiel
Not bad for less than a month between updates, eh?
Speaking of eh, I hope nobody's too torn up over Ezekiel's departure. When I first started writing this I had him placing late pre-merge, but when I got to planning individual story arcs I found myself at a loss for what I wanted to see from him. I didn't want to do a full redemption since that seemed too on the nose and would ultimately distract from the main plots I have going on. And I didn't want to shoehorn a random ship in for him. So instead I decided to have him be relatively normal, participate in challenges, and have him go fairly early but not in a way that was super devastating to his character. After all he's been through in canon, it seems like a fair trade.
I also completely changed the challenge and elimination of this chapter from its original plot. There was no nature documentary episode planned but I decided I wanted to move the original chapter to later. I'll let you all know when that comes up. This was also a fun chapter because now that the cast is dwindling I can focus a little less on one or two plots and start to pepper in more subplots, including one I'm very excited for that will start to have more prominence next chapter.
What genre of television do you think we'll be exploring next? As always, thanks for reading!
