X-Treme Torture
"Last time, on Total Drama Island!" The first shot shown was of the thirteen campers in their tiered seats on the amphitheater stage "The campers were made to suffer all manner of abuse in the 'No Pain, No Game' challenge." The marshmallow wax, chainsaw haircut, and the music tortures were shown briefly, followed by a shot of Chris spinning the wheel. "But the real torture was for everyone after Beth revealed what happened to Eva's MP3. Courtney tried to excuse herself but it didn't work until she apologized and was hit by the Sasquatchanakwa so Gwen wouldn't have to. Although the goth would have preferred that before having to put poison ivy on her face, to everyone's surprise she managed to overcome it and win the challenge for her team."
"In good news for Courtney, Gwen and Trent regained trust in Courtney but not completely. Unfortunately for Justin, he did not have the same luck with Geoff because the party boy made it clear that he did not want anything more with him."
"Cody tried to eliminate Duncan because of their rivalry but in the end Duncan managed to eliminate him by manipulating the couple of Katie and Owen, although that cost him the blow to the face that left him knocked out." Chris Laughed. "Can the Bass recover from losing so many challenges? Can Justin fix things with Geoff? What more drama will be X-pose today? Find out on Total Drama Island!"

Main theme (sing it in your head)
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doin' fine,
You guys are on my mind.
You asked me what I wanted to be
and now I think the answer is plain to see,
I wanna be famous.
I wanna live close to the sun,
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
I'll get there one day.
Cause, I wanna be famous!
Na na na na na na na na na na na!
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
(Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!)
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
(Whistling in tune)

A grizzly bear was raiding the dumpster behind the main lodge.
All of the campers were sleeping peacefully. Until the loud whir of an airplane broke through the morning tranquility forcing each camper awake and scaring the bear off. A small, battered, and rusty yellow plane flew by, All the campers groaned in frustration, The bear was shown running away from the commotion, and as the campers gathered around outside the cabins.
"Incoming!" he called. The twelve campers ran out of the craft's path just in time for Chris to violently land right between the two cabins. "Yes! I can't wait 'till I get my pilot's license!"
The plane screeched to a halt, and the camera zoomed in on the smiling host "Just flexing your muscles for today's," he pulled out a megaphone, "EXTREME SPORTS CHALLENGE!" The final word reverberated loudly, causing Bridgette, Courtney, Geoff, Gwen, Katie and Tyler to cringe.
"Dude, that was so unnecessary" Trent says annoyed.
"This week," he told them, "you'll participate in three challenges. First up," he made use of the megaphone again, "EXTREME SOFA-BED SKYDIVING!, Contestants will plummet-uhhhh, skydive," Chris said as the side door of the plane slid open and Chef, dressed in military skydiving gear, looked down upon an unfolded sofa bed on the ground, "onto a waiting sofa bed target below."
A few springs poked out of the mattress, and Chef made the short hop onto it. He landed on the sofa part, causing the mattress to forcefully retract in on him. Gwen and Lindsay winced at Chef's muffled screams.
"Of course," the host continued, "you'll be skydiving from 5000 feet! And using these!" Grinning evilly, he lifted a pair of ratty old parachute packs up to his window and threw them at the campers' feet.
"Our lucky contestants are...," he said as he pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, "Katie and Izzy!"
"YAY! I love Skydiving, this is going to be awesome." Izzy shouted excitedly.
"Uh… yeah… awesome" Katie said unsurely.
"Not so fast!" Chris interrupted. "Because the second challenge of the day is, EXTREME RODEO MOOSE RIDING!" The camera panned over to a rather annoyed-looking bull moose in a small pen. "Contestants will rodeo-ride the Great Canadian Bucking Moose for eight seconds, or," he pointed to his watch before the camera quickly panned over to several campers holding their noses over a large pile of visibly stinking socks, "get hoofed into a giant pile of socks from the Lost and Found!"
"Are you sure that this is safe?" Bridgette asks nervously.
"You will find out Bridgette, you and Lindsay will do this challenge, lucky day for you."
The two blondes looked at each other with concern.
"And, the final challenge," Chris announced, "EXTREME SEADOO WATER SKIING!" The scene cut to a large pool of mud in a clearing of the woods, on the left end was a checkered banner indicating the start and finish, while a pair of ramps and several colored flags were scattered around. "Contestants will water ski a race course, grabbing as many flags as they can before crossing the finish line, while a member from the opposing team drives and tries to deceive you."
"How are we going to water ski without water?" Courtney asks.
"Check it out!" Chris said with a smile through his megaphone. The camera panned over to Chef, who water skied into view over a small cliff and onto the dry dirt. Chef screamed as he bounced along the ground, only stopping when he slammed head-first into a large rock face.
"Awesome!" Chris laughed before turning his attention and megaphone back to the campers. "Geoff, you'll ski for Screaming Gophers."
"¡Yeah!" The party boy celebrated excitedly doing a trick with his hat.
"And Tyler for the Killer Bass."
Tyler's face lit up with excitement. "Woohoo! This is going to be awesome!, i got this guys"
"Yeah, we're doomed." Duncan says deadpanned.
"Now for the cool swag!" Chris announced. "Whoever scores the most challenges gets bragging rights for the night, saves their butts from elimination and wins a tricked out Multi Massage Mobile Shower."
Chris gestured toward the communal bathrooms. A large truck containing several shower stalls had been hooked up to the water source. The stalls inside were immaculately clean, everything there looked luxurious.
"Wow that looks…. Amazing" Lindsay says, all the girls were really happy to see that they could shower without the fear of a bug or a rat coming in.
"It doesn't seem like a big deal to me." Owen commentend while eating some marshmallows, "Really? because I would really like to get that shower" Katie said to him with a smile.
Owen quickly shifts into an excited mood "Let's win that shower Woohoo!"
"Okay, gang!" said Chris, getting back into his plane. "Chow for breaky, then report back in thirty minutes for… EXTREME SPORTS CHALLENGE!"
/
In a flash transition we cut to several campers passing their food to Owen. Everyone filed out to spend their thirty minutes somewhere other than the lodge.
While Owen was eating he spit out a paper that fell to the floor. Katie notices and picks it up "Lindsay look at this, it's a poem" the blonde sees this and gets excited, "Oh-em-gee! I love the poetry, what does it says"
"Ok, lets see"
XXX
'There's things I wanna say to you,
But I'll just let you live,
Like if you hold me without hurting me,
You'll be the first who ever did,
There's things I wanna talk about,
But better not to give,
But if you hold me without hurting me,
You'll be the first who ever did'
XXX
"Wow this is so melodramatic and sooo romantic" Katie said in a dreamy tone.
"Who wrote it?" Lindsay asked excitedly
"Hmm, Here it says it's from your secret admirer but it doesn't say who it's for."
"Maybe it is for me!" Lindsay exclaim with joy "Maybe DJ put this poem in a bottle and the water bring it here like in the movies"
"Oh-em-gee! That's sooo cute" Katie scream in joy too "But wait, where is the bottle, they normally travel that way"
The girls looked around, after finding nothing they approached Owen, "Hey, Owen" Katie called, Owen quickly blushed when he heard the girl voice "Huh! Uh… hey, cutie" the boy said nervously.
Katie put her hand on his arm, "I was wondering if this poem was in a bottle? You know if there was one nearby or in the food?"
"Hmm… definitely not, I almost swallowed a bottle once and this time I didn't feel anything similar I just felt paper and decided to spit it out this time… I mean… I always do… I swear"
Katie let out an adorable laugh, "Okay, I believe you," the girl winked. "But well I guess that means it's not from DJ, sorry Lindsay."
"Awww… well I guess it must be for someone else, wait… maybe it's for you" the blonde said with emotion.
"Uh… I hadn't thought about it," he said quietly, giving Lindsay a knowing look before speaking to Owen. "So… you happen to like poetry," Katie asked playfully.
"Poetry… uh… that was a Beethoven thing, right?"
"Uh… no, I guess you didn't write this then."
"No…excuse me…you want me to write poetry for you, I can learn" Owen responded.
"Don't worry Honeybear, you don't have to change for me."
"Honeybear?"
"Yeah, that's my nickname for you, don't you like it?" she asked worriedly.
"I like it, it has honey so it sounds delicious" Owen commented, licking his lips.
/
The scene cuts to show the girls leaving the lodge.
"Aww you two are so cute" Lindsay said putting her hands together.
"Aww thanks Linds"
"But I have a question… if it's not for you and it's not for me, then who is it for?"
"Hmm I guess it must be for someone else then, although the poem doesn't specify if it's for a boy or a girl, so that doesn't help much."
"Oh! This can be like research like the one I did with Beth, it can be fun," Lindsay said excitedly.
"Huh that sounds fun, but first let's go over the candidates" Lindsay nodded at this "Ok, Trent and Bridgette definitely have something, she says they're just getting to know each other but I've noticed how Trent looks at her, those eyes scream love."
"Oh and Geoff and Justin had a thing, maybe it's from Justin as a sign of apology."
"Yeah… Geoff seems to have calmed down a bit since the incident," Katie commented.
"Yes… a few days ago he didn't even look at him and now he is talking to him."
"Well, I guess we'll have to ask them," Katie proposed, and continued when Lindsay nodded. "Ok, I'll ask Bridgette and you'll ask Geoff or Justin, ok?"
"Alright let's do it"
/
The footage cut back to a distance shot of the plane on the ground, with the two jumpers putting their gear on and the rest of their teams inspecting the sofa beds.
"Now, remember, ground teams can wheelie the sofa beds wherever they want in order to help their comrade with the landing." Chris told them.
"Hey, I know it's not much help but we're not going to let you fall." Bridgette tried to calm Katie down.
"Yes! I'll make sure you land in the sweet spot," Owen said as he pointed to the couch.
Katie smiled at the two of them, "thank you so much, that calms me down a little… Hey Bridge, I have a question."
"Hmm?"
"Well… I was wondering if you received any poems not long ago?"
"Uh… no… why do you ask?" the surfer asked.
"Oh, nothing, just curiosity," Katie said with a nervous laugh.
The camera moves to focus on Izzy who looked excited "This is going to be so fun! Kaleidoscope is ready for this"
"Kaleidoscope?" Gwen asked.
"Yeah that's the other me, that pal is really crazy, E-scope for short"
Her teammates looked at her for a few seconds before just accepting it since they already knew Izzy.
/
The shot changed to a high-altitude view across the island. Both contestants had their parachutes strapped on along with safety goggles.
"If you could just fill these out, please!" Chris asked, holding up two stacks of papers.
"But, we already signed insurance forms before the beginning of the show!" Katie argued.
"I know!" said Chris. "But these are for organ donations! I've got this cool cannibalism challenge I wanna pitch to the producers! And this'll go a long way towards budgeting free props!"
"Yeah… no thanks" Katie said concern.
Izzy took the papers in her mouth and as if she were a rabid dog, she tore them up and spit out.
"NO ONE IS GOING TO EAT KALEIDOSCOPE EVEN AFTER DEATH!" Izzy Screams, she then leans to Katie and whispers to her. "E-scope for short"
Meanwhile, on the ground, both teams were struggling to move their sofas. The Gophers got a little better after some time of moving the sofa, Lindsay saw this as an opportunity to talk to Geoff.
"Geoff, i totally need to ask you something"
"What's up dude"
"Well I was wondering if you have received a poem lately but not the ones that come in bottles." Lindsay asks.
"A poem not really but I have received some anonymous gifts that I don't know who they are from." the party boy replied.
"Really, like what?" The blonde girl asked curiously.
"Some chocolates, an extra muffin and some heart shaped paper with my name in it in my bed" Geoff listed.
"Thats sounds nice"
"It is"
"Hey you two, can you stop talking, we're in a serious challenge, Izzy can die if we don't catch her." Courtney scolded.
/
Back on the plane, Katie and Izzy were getting ready to jump. The first one was backing out.
"Uh, I don't think I can do this, it's too scary!"
"Don't worry, miss, it's only thousands of centimeters above the ground, the worst that can happen is death."
"How is that supposed to make me feel better?"
"I don't know, it helps me" After this E-scope jumped, but instead of doing it normally he got into a cannonball position as if he were going to fall into the water.
Katie sighed and jumped not long after the girl and when she felt it was the best time she opened her parachute.
/
"What the hell is she doing!" Gwen screams concern when she sees how Izzy is falling and that she hasn't opened her parachute yet.
"Run! People! Run!" Commanded Courtney, everyone followed her and moved the chair as fast as they could so that Izzy fell on it, but unfortunately only a few centimeters away did the redhead fall into the sand.
"Uh… Izzy, are you okay?" Trent asked unsurely, earning a look from his friends at the stupid question he asked.
"Woohoo! E-scope liked it" The redhead screamed excitedly.
"Typical Izzy." Justin said, shaking his head from side to side in disappointment.
/
Katie was going down slowly, but due to her weight the air moved her very easily and knocked her off the couch several times, but in the end her team caught her.
"Oh-em-gee! I did it, YAY" Katie exclaimed with joy.
But to the girl's bad luck, the sofa bed closes, taking her inside it. Owen shouted in concern. "Oh God! Don't worry Katie, I'll save you."
With surprising strength Owen lifted the sofa bed and shook it while yelling at the object to let go of his girlfriend.
"Owen, wait!" The blonde stopped when he heard the voice of his companions.
Bridgette quickly warned him "That's not going to help at all" Owen put the object on the floor "Look, this is how you do it big-man" said Duncan, who with Bridgette opened the sofa bed as it should be.
When Katie showed up she was dizzy and hyperventilating from lack of air. "Katie!" Owen shouted excitedly, pushing his companions as he took the girl in his hands and hugged her.
"I need some air honeybear" Katie said with difficulty from Owen's hug.
The boy pushes her away but keeps her in his arms "I'm so happy you're okay."
Katie gives him a kiss as a gift "Thank you for worrying about my honeybear."
"Well… this is kind of awkward," Tyler said as he looked around.
Chris' plane flew over. "GOPHERS LOSE, BASS WIN! 1-0!" he announced through his megaphone.
All of the Gophers groaned at this.
The scene changed to show the Gophers watching Izzy being taken away in an ambulance, everyone was startled when they saw the girl aggressively sit down on the stretcher, "Wow that was crazy, almost like an explosion," the girl said. laughed "Boom Boom!"
Justin rolled his eyes at this "please don't tell me you're Explosivo now" this comment earned several strange looks from the others.
"Oh whatever eye candy, you were the one that dated Izzy, isn't our problem that you think were insane"
"WAIT! WHAT!" Everyone shouted in unison. They were in total shock.
"Oh, yeah we dated before the show," Izzy explained.
Everyone turned to look at Justin waiting for confirmation. The model sighed, "Yes we did, for a few months until I found out she was stalking me during my private time."
"Maybe I wouldn't have done it if you weren't a liar!" Izzy shouted as she was taken to the ambulance. "That's why I take my time from dating, don't go by just a pretty face, people."
The camera then focuses on Katie and Lindsay, "Well I guess we can discard her from the possible candidates of the poem." Katie said, Lindsay just nodded.
/
"Okay cowpokes!" Chris announced as the footage skipped ahead. "Let's start the rodeo moose challenge!"
"Don't worry! Rodeo ridin's kinda like surfin'. Once you catch the lip, you just flow with the mojo." Geoff tried to encourage Lindsay.
"Really well in that case maybe i can do it" the blonde said confidently.
"Uh... I'm not an expert on this but I'm sure it's more complicated than surfing" Trent intervene in the conversation "I advise you to try to hold on as tight as you can and most important think about that shower"
"Thanks Trent that also helps a lot, by the way have you written some poetry recently?" the girl asked innocently.
"Poetry not really, i say i like it but right now i haven't written anything like that, just songs"
"Oh, it's fine I gotta go, bye" Lindsay quickly said goodbye to the boys and went to meet Katie.
"Is it me or was that just a little weird," Trent commented to Geoff.
"She kind of asked me a similar question," said the partygoer.
"Hmm I wonder what she is up to?"
Before Geoff could say anything, Bridgette approaches, "Hey guys, Chris said that since my team won the last challenge we would go first."
"Cool, good luck girl" Geoff said.
"Yeah, i'm sure you will do good," Trent added.
"Thanks guys" Bridgette climbed the ladder to get on the moose, to be ready.
Geoff nudged Trent friendly, "So how are things going between you two? Something has happened yet?"
Trent just smiled. "No, we are taking things easy, waiting to see what happens."
"Cool man, sometimes you just need to let things flow"
/
Bridgette was getting on top of the moose, the surfer was visibly nervous.
"Ok, moose friend, don't worry, I won't be here long, just enough to win the challenge." Unfortunately for the girl, in a false move to regain her composure, she gives the moose a firm squeeze with her hands.
The moose gets angry and when Chef opens the door he runs and shakes furiously. Everyone looked at her worriedly until Bridgette couldn't take it anymore and flew straight towards the pile of dirty socks.
"Bridgette!" Trent was the first to run to the pile of socks to help the girl.
"Thank you" Bridgette thanks as she was picked up by Trent. The two looked at each other for a moment with a smile until the disgusting smell of dirty socks hit Trent. The boy just covered his nose and walked away from the girl a little with an apologetic smile on his face.
"It's fine i better go and try to get this smell out of my body"
The camera then focuses on Lindsay and Katie.
"Aww that was so romantic, I'm surprised neither of them did the poem, but I guess they don't need it" Katie said.
"Yes, but then who do we have left as candidates?" Lindsay asked.
"I guess that leaves us-" Before the girl continued Chris announced that it was Lindsay's turn.
With a flash transition we see Lindsay already mounted on the moose.
"Aww you're kind of cute, although this fur is definitely not your color."
That comment made the moose angry and he broke the pen door, knocking Chef in the process.
Lindsay stayed much longer than everyone thought, everyone moved away from the moose that was running back and forth. Until after 2 minutes Lindsay fell but not like Bridgette but fell into a berry bush.
"Wow Lindsay! That was amazing!" Gwen expressed genuine surprise.
"Yeah! I honestly expected us to fail but you did surprisingly great." Courtney complement while she was helping the blonde to stand up.
"I guess all the times I had to hold a cute purse when it was on sale and there were like 6 people who also wanted it has helped me."
"Yeah that was just as awesome as my challenge" Izzy commented, surprising and making the girls jump.
"Izzy! what's wrong with you, you can't sneak around and scare people like that" Courtney scolded with a frown.
"And how the hell are you standing up after the last challenge" Gwen asks.
"Oh don't worry it was just a little fall, and by the way is E-scope now so yeah…" E-scope clarified, Although the girl actually had bandages and plasters on her body.
"Whatever, We need to choose a ski driver for the next challenge, and I was thinking of doing it myself," Courtney announced. "any objections" the CIT asks.
"I was thinking Trent could do it but I guess riding a motorcycle and a ski are not the same." Gwen said.
"Well, it's decided, I'll be the driver." Courtney says with a smugly smile on her face leaving the scene. Gwen rolled her eyes at this but a small smile appeared on her lips as she looked at Courtney.
/
"Okay! So we have a tie! Whoever wins the EXTREME SEA-DOO WATER-SKI CHALLENGE wins invincibility! Campers, select your driver!"
"That would be me," Courtney said, she also caught the keys when Chris threw them to her.
"I'll drive, no offense but I don't trust you with this big guy" Duncan said.
"Aww i was hoping to do it to make me look cool for Katie" Owen said sadly. "Don't worry honeybear it's fine, I don't need you to drive a ski to think you're cool." consoled the girl in addition to giving the boy a kiss, Owen was flustered at this and laughed nervously.
BZZZZT
Tyler was shown in the confessional "This is it. We're tied for the win. I have to prove to my teammates how valuable I am, it's Tyler time!.
BZZZZT
/
Katie was no longer with Owen but with Lindsay. "As I said, our possible candidates are: Courtney, Gwen, Duncan, Tyler."
"Wait, I thought Tyler had a crush on Noah."
"Yes, but no one other than me and Bridgette and possibly Cody know about that. Maybe he has received one before. I'm going to go ask him after the challenge. Oh, and by the way, you didn't tell anyone what I told you about Tyler's crush, right? Bridgette told me by accident and asked me not to tell anyone."
"Oh don't worry, I haven't told anyone, no one asked me so the secret is safe."
"Lindsay! You can't tell it even if they ask you"
"Oh right, sorry secrets can be very difficult sometimes. Once I almost told someone that my sister Paula had diarrhea on a date and I had to bring her toilet paper to the restaurant bathroom, but luckily I kept it a secret."
Lindsay opens her eyes in surprise and looks at the camera with an apologist face "Sorry Paula" said with an awkward smile.
Katie sighed "Ugh… try to keep it up please" Lindsay nodded at her and Katie continued talking "since Duncan will do the challenge I'll go ask Tyler if he knows anything, you can go to Gwen, I don't think Courtney is very into this kind of thing." The girls gave each other a high 5 in agreement and the two went their separate ways.
/
A flash transition shows Duncan on the jet-ski. While Geoff was already on the skis.
Chris drove slowly past on his ATV. "Here's the road rules. Oh wait, there are no rules! Which means this is gonna be awesome!" he announced.
/
The scene cuts to show Katie approaching Tyler. "Hey Tyler! Are you warming up for the challenge?" the girl asked, the jock was doing stretches, squats and jumping jacks.
"Yeah, this is my time to prove myself as a strong competitor for the team."
"I'm sure you will do well, by the way I wanted to know if someone have dedicated a poem to you"
"Poem, no but that sounds good, Katie sighs "It's nothing, let's just say that I saw a piece of paper with a poem dedicated to someone but it came from a secret admirer."
"Isn't that a bit of an invasion of privacy." the jock asked.
"I wouldn't call it that, I wanted to give this to the right person but I guess maybe I should forget about this." Katie said with a sigh at the end. "Thanks anyway"
/
The footage flashed ahead to the start of the challenge. "And...go!" Chris called with a wave of a flag, Duncan sped off as quickly as he could, Geoff stood his ground and overcame several obstacles, grabbing four flags.
"Damn it" the punk complained.
BZZZT
Duncan was in the confessional this time "I couldn't let the Gophers win this challenge, with my position is very risky i could go home if we lose and although I could try to convince Tyler and Bridgette to vote for the lovey-dovey couple, I prefer not to risk it anymore, so I had to distract Geoff and if maybe he wasn't looking at Justin with love eyes again these past days this wouldn't have worked, i guess overhearing Katie and Linsay gossiping about them wasn't a total waste of time.
BZZZZT
"Woohoo! I'm going to win this one for my team!" Geoff expressed excitedly.
"Wow, is that Justin shirtless and holding an apology sign?" Duncan said in a falsely surprising manner.
But Geoff believed him and when he looked back, Duncan made an unexpected turn and Geoff lost his resistance and let go of the rope of the jet-ski.
"I don't know what Duncan did to make Geoff lose his concentration, but it's a total wipeout for the Bass team!" Chris said.
A camera focuses on Courtney and Trent both with disappointed looks, Courtney facepalmed, Trent just shook his head.
/
Lindsay was approaching Gwen, the goth was sitting at a table drawing in her diary.
"Hi there!" The blonde said.
"Hi," Gwen replied dryly.
"Well… I know you like poetry and I was wondering if you have written anything lately." Lindsay had her hands behind her back innocently and had a friendly smile trying to hide her nervousness.
"Uh... yeah I've written a little." the goth said dryly. The two girls looked at each other for a few seconds, making the atmosphere uncomfortable. "That's all? I want to draw again in peace."
"Yeah, I'm just gonna go now" The blonde says with a nervous laugh.
BZZZZT
Lindsay was in the confessional "Gwen can be really scary sometimes, i sometimes even think she can be a werewolf but i guess that's dumb since she is under the sun sometimes, but if we talking about vampires-" The clip cuts away before having to continue showing Lindsay talking about popular monsters and mistakenly in the process.
BZZZZT
/
"Ready! Set! Ride it like it's Sweeps Week!" Chris declared.
Courntey confidently drove the jet-ski making maneuvers to make Tyler lose his concentration.
To the surprise of several Tyler got all the flags one by one, the determination was seen on the boy's face.
"NO!" Courtney cried.
"YEAH!" Tyler said.
"Tyler has snagged all five and is racing home for the win! Courtney is doomed! She has to cross!" Chris announced.
"What! No!" The CIT shouts angrily, Desperate, Courtney tried to steer Tyler into a boulder but fumbled with the control of the jet-ski, which was all it took for her to crash into the rock herself, flinging her overboard and into the mud. Tyler, on the other hand, let go of the rope, surfed around the rock, and shot straight across the finish line. Tyler expertly skidded to a halt and held up his flags
"He won?" Chris uttered, dumbfounded. Chris shook off the surprise and put his radio back to his mouth. "THE KILLER BASS WIN!"
"Yeah I did it" Tyler exclaimed, Not long after, he lost control and stumbled falling in the mud.
All his teammates went to pick him up and hug him to cheer him up. "You did it man!" Owen cheered him. "That was a pleasant surprise bro," Duncan said. "We won the shower!" Katie screamed excitedly.
"I really needed that shower," Courtney said as she was still covered in mud. Gwen just put her hand on her shoulder to console her.
/
Then we cut to Chris in front of the shower truck.
"The Gopher got dominated today, and will now decide which rodent to get rid of!" said Chris. "Meanwhile, the Bass totally scored some much-needed showers!"
We then see Tyler and Duncan exiting the truck with a smile on their faces.
The camera moves to focus on Katie and Lindsay who were sitting at a picnic table.
"Thank you for letting me use the shower, I really needed that shower" Lindsay thanked.
"Well, if Bridgette invited Courtney, Gwen and Trent, why not invite a friend of mine?"
"It's a shame we couldn't find who this poem was for," Lindsay said.
"Yeah… Duncan will definitely think this is dumb," Katie said as she played with the piece of paper.
"Yes I do," Duncan said as he passed by the girls' table. Katie rolled her eyes at this.
"And I'm sure Courtney doesn't care about this kind of stuff."
"Could I know what you two are talking about me?" The girls jumped when they heard Courtney's voice.
The CIT appears on the scene right after this, "Oh, well, we were talking about this poem, but-"
"Hey! Why do you have one of my poems?" Courtney took the piece of paper from Katie's hands.
"It's for you?!" The girls asked at the same time, incredulous.
"Well, of course, this poem has the same signature as the others." Courtney took out three more papers from her pocket and put them on the table. "This poem has the same signature as the others I received in recent days"
"Wow and do you have any idea who it could be?" Katie asked excitedly.
"No and right now that doesn't matter, I'll wait for the person to reveal who they are and that's it, I have to focus on the game" Courtney explained as she crossed her arms and raised her head.
"Oh come on, I'm sure you would love to know who your secret admirer is."
"Well... yes, but I'm not going to waste my time on this and I'm going to wait for this 'secret admirer' to confess to me who he is," said Courtney, the two girls did not dare to say anything else, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to take a shower"
"Well I guess at least now we know who the poem was to, that's something" Katie said.
"Although I wonder who the secret admirer is," Lindsay wondered.
"I guess time will tell, come on it's our turn to use the bathroom" Katie added, the two girls got up and headed in the same direction.
/
Geoff was on the stairs of his team cabin, the boy was discouraged, which was not usual for him.
"Hi Geoff" When Geoff looked up he saw Justin, the model had a heart-shaped frame in his hands.
"Justin?" Geoff asked, surprised. Justin sighed, "I was trying to recreate the gift you gave me weeks ago. I always thought he was cute, but I guess I'm not good at crafts" Justin let out another sad sigh.
"Look Geoff," Justin continued, "I have no way or words enough to tell you how sorry I am for what I did and what I did to you, it's okay if you don't want to come back to me but I would love to talk to you at least one more time before I get eliminated today."
Geoff looked at the ground for a few seconds before looking back at Justin. "While I still haven't completely forgiven you, I definitely missed you today at the challenge. Duncan tricked me by saying you were shirtless and holding a sorry sign."
Justin chuckled. "Sorry."
"It's not your fault, it's mine, clearly I still think about you but I don't know if I can trust you."
"As much as I promise, I know I need to show you with actions, not words."
Geoff smiled at the boy. "Well, I guess we could get in the hot tub and hang out, and wait for one of us to be eliminated."
"one of the two?" Justin asked strangely, "what do you mean?"
"Well, I lost the tiebreaker challenge."
"Courtney lost it too"
"Yes, but she was driving, I was on the skis,"
"Hey, I'm sure you won't be leaving tonight, is the hot tub offer still on?"
"Of course dude"
"Oh by the way my hands are glued to this thing" Justin pointed to the frame his hands were stuck to.

The bonfire ceremony began as usual, "As you know," Chris opened, "if you don't receive a marshmallow, you will be forced to walk down the Dock of Shame and will never, ever be able to return to Camp." The camera panned over the largely tired Gophers. "Lindsay and Trent, you're safe." The two teens stood up and grabbed their marshmallows. "Gwen and Courtney, you're safe too." The two girls smiled at each other and went to claim their marshmallow. "Izzy! You are safe too" The girl got up with difficulty due to her wounds, bandages and casts. "That leaves Geoff, who failed miserably due to a Duncan technique." The camera focused on Geoff who swallowed worriedly. "And Justin who is in a bad position in the game in the last few episodes." Justin didn't seem worried.
"And the last marshmallow goes to…." The usual tension music was heard in the "Geoff" scene.
The boy seemed a little surprised. "Wow, thanks guys."
"Well, what else were we going to do? Justin made it easier for us to vote," Courtney said as she got up and left the scene, Gwen, Lindsay and Trent followed her.
The scene cut to show the two boys in the middle of the dock.
"So you told the others to vote for you, why?"
"Yeah, you didn't deserve to leave because of me," Justin said. "Well I guess this is goodbye-" Before Justin could continue speaking he was interrupted by a kiss from Geoff. The camera showed the two boys kissing under the moon before Justin was dragged by Chef and thrown into the losers' boat. Geoff waved him off, Justin did the same and the scene cut.

It was even later, Trent was on the dock tuning his guitar.
"Hey you" Trent looked up and a smile formed on his face when he saw Bridgette.
"What are you doing here? It's quite late," the boy asked without stopping smiling.
"Well, I couldn't sleep so I decided to see if anyone else was awake, Courtney and Gwen told me you were here so I decided to come, I interrupt?" the surfer asked.
"Never," Trent responded with a smile and motioned for her to sit on the edge of the dock like him.
"Are you composing a song?"
"Yes, do you want to listen a little?"
"I would love to"
Trent finished tuning his guitar and began his song.

Heaven, when I held you again
How could we ever just be friends?
I would rather die than let you go
Juliet to your Romeo
How I heard you say
"I would never fall in love again
until I found her"
I said, "I would never fall
unless it's you I fall into"
I was lost within thе darkness,
but then I found her
I found you

"That was beautiful," Bridgette said with a smile.
"A beautiful song for a beautiful girl" replied Trent with a bigger smile.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Trent put the guitar away so he could get closer, the two slowly approached, leaning their faces closer and closer, until their lips touched.

Courtney and Gwen were approaching the dock but stopped when they saw the couple together, "I think we should leave them alone," Gwen said.
"Well I guess I should have seen that coming," Courtney said with a sigh. "Are you mad about that?" Gwen asks.
"What?! No!" exclaimed the CIT "I just have the secret admirer thing in my head."
"Does he still send you poems?" The goth asked, Courtney nodded and took out of her pocket the poems she had been given to read in her mind.

'Moon, a hole of light
Through the big top tent up high
Here before and after me
Shining down on me
Moon, tell me if I could
Send up my heart to you?
So, when I die, which I must do
Could it shine down here with you?'
XXX
'There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is, it was enchanting to meet you
Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?"
Cross the room your silhouette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is, I was enchanted to meet you'
XXX
'Cause it's on again, off again
Love you like oxygen
I don't know what to say or do
On again, off again
Love you like oxygen
You don't know what I'd do for you'

Courtney sighs again. "Hey, I'm sure at some point you'll know who it is." Gwen put her hand on the girl's shoulder in comfort.
"Yeah, I guess I better go rest, good night Gwen" Courtney gave the girl a smile before leaving. Gwen smiled back and when the girl left she went back to drawing in her diary. The camera zooms in and shows Gwen signing her drawing of Courtney, having the same signature as the girl's secret admirer's poetry.
Author Note:
Well I guess that was a weird chapter to read, I'm sorry I tried to do several things and I don't know if they all worked. I think it was obvious that Justin was going to leave when episode 10 happened, I knew that would be the best way to eliminate him and although I would have liked the randomizer to choose him for some challenge, I guess it's not bad to have Geoff at the bottom 2 as extra tension.
Now let's talk about something else, the love letters plot was not replaced but rather changed to better fit Gwen. Lindsay and Katie make sense to me to be in this storyline as I feel like they are both a bit of a gossip girl and would like to know who the poem is for. I know they never interacted in past episodes but neither did Gwen and Bridgette so I don't think it's bad.
Also if you didn't realize the "Poems" are actually just pieces of popular songs just like Trent's song, honestly I'm not good with poetry or writing songs either so credits to the songs I used: Cinnamon Girl, Until i found you, My love all mine, Enchanted, Habits. Excuse my lack of originality but I thought it would be nice to see what Gwen wrote in her other poems.
And at the end the kiss Tridgette, I randomized which couple was going to kiss and they were chosen so I'm happy that's why I definitely wanted their relationship to feel natural and without a lot of drama but this is TD so don't be surprised to see drama between these two in the future, of course if they survive the randomizer long enough.
As always, thank you very much for reading, it means a lot to me that you give my stories a chance and see that there are people who like it even if it is not of high quality as I would like.
