"Last time on Total Drama Action! We watched as the campers competed against each other and Chef as they tripped over each other trying to both stay alive and steal some eggs. However the Costumers and Grips failed to make it out alive and both were sent to the Elimination Ceremony. At the Ceremony Lauren was voted out due to her psychotic antics, whereas Anne Maria was blindsided over Sugar as the boys decided to stick by the country girl. Twenty-two remain, and two more will go home tonight on this episode of TOTAL! DRAMA! ACTION!"

Theme Song

"So let me get this straight. You lost your leg while surfing to a great white shark, and after losing your leg you still managed to surf into shore?" Carson asked Zee. The pair were sitting at one of the picnic tables outside of the trailers. "Forgive me… but that seems a tad outlandish."

"Naw dude it's cool. It's one of those things you just had to be there for, you know," Zee replied, taking a massive sip from his soda can.

"And you're completely chill about this? I would think this would be a really traumatic event, you know?" Carson mused, adjusting his ponytail.

"Life happens, I always try to look at the positives more than the negatives," Zee replied with a smile, taking another sip from his soda.

"I think most people could learn from that," Carson said with a chuckle. "I should probably get to the food tent, I haven't had my breakfast yet," Carson stood up from the table and gave Zee a wave as he headed off to the Craft Services Tent.


Confessional, Carson

I weirdly believe him? I'm so confused.


"What was that about?" Beardo exclaimed, walking out from his trailer, startling Zee.

"Woah dude you startled me," Zee said with a light chuckle, checking himself to make sure he didn't spill any of his drink.

"Sorry," Beardo said, scratching the back of his head. "I just noticed that you keep giving people different stories about your leg is all."

"Oh that! It's just a birth defect. I like to tell people wild stories just for fun. It's harmless man."

"Aw. No worries, I was just curious," Beardo chuckled. "Should we go get some food?"

"For sure dude."


Confessional, Zee

The way I see it, you gotta turn a negative into a positive. Most people would see my lack of a leg as a downside, but I see it as a way to create some positivity.


Confessional, Beardo

Whatever floats his boat. Not like it's harming anyone.


Jaiden was alone at her team's table. It was still fairly early in the morning for the campers to arrive. Devin walked over to her and took a seat across from Jaiden, causing her to look up from her piece of jellied toast.

"Uh hey Devin. You know this isn't your team's table right?" Jaiden asked quizzically.

"Yeah I know. I Just wanted to make sure Carrie was doing okay," Devin replied.

"Aw that's sweet of you Devin. She has held up well in the challenges, and everyone likes her, I think at least. So I think she's doing okay."

"Alright. I know being here means a lot to her, so I just want to make sure she can get the full experience you know."

"Don't worry, I'll watch her back for her, and I'll help you out if I can."

"I appreciate that!" Devin smiled. "I should get going before someone gets suspicious," Devin added, standing up and making his way to his table, taking a seat next to Wayne.


Confessional, Jaiden

That's honestly very sweet of Devin to check in on Carrie. They'd make a great couple… if Devin wasn't incredibly dense and Carrie wasn't incredibly chicken.


Confessional, Devin

Gotta make sure my homie is doing alright. We both want to play this game together, and we can't do that if one of us goes out early.


The camera panned throughout the Craft Services Tent that was slowly gaining in number as more campers arrived. The camera then focused in on Courtney and Hilde who were waiting for Chef to finish a new batch of eggs and sausage for breakfast.

"You know Courtney… I don't say this often, but I have to say I respect how you took up the leader position of the team," Hilde stated.

"Well that was rather… blunt." Courtney deadpanned.

"I'm a blunt person. I'm just really used to taking the lead on things, so it's nice to not have to be that for once you know."

"I get it. I really like to keep things under control. I really learned a lot from Island… and from Duncan."

"I think I just saw your eyes turn into hearts," Hilde chuckled.

"Don't tell him that, his ego will inflate more than it already has."

"Didn't he beat you on the Island? We can't have that happen twice in a row now."

"If neither of us win, then let's both at least make it past Duncan. He needs a reality check." The two girls chuckled as Chef gave them a weird look, placing their food on their trays.


Confessional, Courtney

For someone who I had written off as a bit of a grouchy person. Hilde has a few more dimensions than I expected.


Confessional, Hilde

I like Courtney. She's a bit nitpicky, but I can appreciate someone who steps up whenever she can.


"You know amigas. I've been thinking," Carmen started. "What if us three had a girls' alliance?" The other two girls leaned in, speaking in hushed tones.

"That would be awesome! No season has had a successful all girls alliance yet!" Tem exclaimed with a massive smile.

"Yes! It'd be great if one of us managed to win this thing! I know Leshawna and Heather had their thing, but that was a duo. We need an all girl final three this season!" Sky exclaimed.

"Then it's settled. Let's watch each other's backs if we can in this early stage. I'm sure Chris will have a swap for us this season," Carmen mused.

"Yeah. No way he makes us stay in these small teams all premerge. There wouldn't be enough drama to satiate him," Tem chuckled.

"Who knows what he has planned. He's done Godzilla and Alien as his first two movie genres. Watch the Horror genre be next," Sky added.

"Chris is probably one of those Horror movie watchers who hides under the blanket," Carmen said as the three ladies laughed to themselves.


Confessional, Sky

Girl power am I right!? I know I am probably playing a bit hard. Two alliances in essentially three days. But like I want my bases covered.


Confessional, Carmen

I like Tem and Sky personally. Sky is great at challenges and a solid leader. And Tem has appeared to be fairly level headed. Already better than how I was doing back on Revenge.


"Hey Angelo," Emma said, taking a seat next to the theater kid. "Mind if I sit here?"

"No, not at all," Angelo said, giving the blonde a small smile.

"I know we haven't talked a whole lot, but i noticed that you kind of like to be alone, are you doing okay?"

"Yeah I'm doing alright. I think I'm just struggling to adjust, you know. I just miss my friends back home."

"You mentioned you do theater right?"

"Yeah I do. It's a big passion of mine."

"I know when I used to get nervous, I would pretend as if I was doing one of our Youtube videos, to put me at ease. You know, like something familiar to help calm you down."

"So like just pretend this is all a big theater production?"

"More or less. Or at least in your mind you know."

"I never thought of it like that. Thanks Emma! It really means a lot for you to help me out," Angelo said, giving Emma a toothy smile.

"It's no problem at all!" Emma exclaimed, patting Angelo on the back before returning to her food.


Confessional, Emma

I adore Angelo. I loved theater at my school, it was so fun. I never ended up doing it because the Youtube group I was once a part of took up all of my time. But that's all in the past now.


Confessional, Angelo

That took up all of my social battery. I like her, but she doesn't put me at ease like Ella. She's almost way too hyper, like she's had three energy drinks or something.


"You sure seem happy this morning," Sugar antagonized Raihan, giving the girl an eye roll.

"Put a sock in it Sugar, no one wants to hear it," Raihan replied, shooting daggers towards the blonde.

"Blah blah blah, just cause a vote didn't go your way doesn't give you the right to be all pouty," Sugar replied, shooting her tongue out.

Raihan fired a piece of egg at Sugar which landed squarely on her face, Raihan and Wayne both let out a small chuckle.

"You got egg on your face!" Wayne exclaimed, struggling to keep in his laughter.

"Can it," Sugar said sternly staring right into Wayne's soul, who promptly shut up. She stood up and strutted over to Raihan, but Justin managed to grab the pageant girl and forced her back into her seat.

"Would you cool it, we need these other people to like you. If they see you going after Raihan they'll side with her," Justin whispered.

"Whatever," Sugar huffed.

"Remember what happened to Amy? The same thing will happen to you."

"Ugh fine, I'll leave her alone."


Confessional, Raihan

That was… exhilarating! I've never felt this feeling of hate before and I love it, I can't wait to knock Sugar's block off.


Confessional, Sugar

Spray tan went first, Ms. Perfect will follow, mark my words.


"Good morning campers!" Sam drove Chris in on a sand colored ATV. "Welcome to your next day of Total Drama Action! For some of you it'll be your last, but that's a conversation for later. This time around we're tackling the totally tubular high stakes to get stoked world of the beach bum movie genre! So all you cool cats and beach bums and tanned big mamas better get your swimsuits on. We have three mini challenges this time to make sure we get the best in-"

"FANSERVICE?!" Carmen excitedly shouted. The other teams stared at her. "What? I missed out on the fanservice my last season, I can't wait to strut my stuff!"

"Not necessarily…. But there will be by virtue of swimsuits," Dakota explained. "Our team of censors are ready to make it comfortable in line with the network and broadcast requirements, especially since you're all around sixteen."

"It'll begin in thirty minutes! Meet Dakota at the designated soundstage! Other interns will lead you to the site!"

The campers quickly finished up their breakfast before splitting up. "So, swimsuits and all," Raj put a hand on Angelo. "Come on dude you've gotta be excited to show off what you have."

"I ummm…." Angelo stammered.

"Hey Angelo!" Emma rushed up. "Raj," she added in a hasty greeting. "I just love the beach!"

"Ice is where it's at," Raj interjected.

"Hey Raj! Come on, let's see if we get strategizing and thinking before the challenge," Chase sauntered over. "You know Emma you're gonna look mighty fine in those swimsuits, and I'll be sure to show you what I've got because I'm new and improved baby."

Chase slung an arm around Raj and guided him away as Emma started to fume. "Let's just pick out our swimsuits…" Angelo walked with Emma.


Confessional, Emma

I had this lovely swimsuit with an adorable gingham ginger pattern. It really hugged my curves and I felt minty keen.

THEN CHASE SENT IT AND TWO OF MY OTHER SWIMSUITS OVER TO HIS RELATIVES IN THE PHILIPPINES! ONE OF THEM ENDED UP ON HIS EIGHTY YEAR OLD LOLA!


Confessional, Chase

(he's already in his swimsuit and flexing to the camera)

Gotta say, these suits my grandma got me from the Philippines really help out. Thanks Lola!


Confessional, Angelo

Hot guys in swimsuits? And me? Oh man…


Zee and Beardo stood in their trailer as they unfolded each of their swimsuits. Zee opted for long swim pants that covered his legs down to his ankle. He adjusted his cap as he took off his shirt. "You ready bro?" asked Zee.

"Gonna put on some sunscreen. Dad would prefer it if I do," Beardo explained. "What about you?"

"I don't really do much of that, that irritates my leg," Zee explained. He fixed his luggage such that one of his prosthetic legs would be kept in sight. "Good thing I brought two this time around, I wouldn't know what to do if one of them exploded."

"It's the water, there can't be many explosions," Beardo pointed out.

"Never know dude," Zee stretched. "You never know."

The two exited to see Devante and Carson in their swimsuits. "Let's get going," Devante quickly directed.

"Dude, chill, we have all day to get there," Zee scratched his thigh.

"No, we only have twenty minutes," Devante deadpanned.

"So since this is a water challenge, I'd recommend staying dry," Carson pointed out. "I know getting wet isn't the best thing to do because that just makes you cold."

"I can see that." Devante replied, giving a massive eye roll.


Confessional, Beardo

I tried reassuring him but he already seems chill enough.


The contestants, all in their swimsuits, started to shiver at the cold temperature of the soundstage. "How does THIS represent a beach day?" Emma snapped.

"Even the cold places like Russia have beaches, so think of this as a Russian beach," Chris said, warm and toasty in two layers of clothing.

Chris took a sip of his warm drink and let out a satisfied sigh. "Don't worry, we'll go into warmer locales in the soundstage later in the day. But I know something that'll get you all warmed up right now. Today is yet another double elimination episode! And it will be that way until we get rid of a good handful of you."

"Double?!" Carson nervously shouted. His look of fear seemed to replicate among the other campers. "Ah jeez."

"Don't worry Carson, you already technically survived one double," Jaiden shuddered. "They can't keep up the doubles for too long."

"No we can't," Chef said. "BUT YOU'LL FIND OUT WHEN YOU SHUT UP AND LET THE CHALLENGE HAPPEN!"

The campers immediately quieted down as Chris held the warm drink in his hands. "The first challenge today is a totally tubular hanging loose endurance competition! You'll be standing on these boards and trying to last as long as you possibly can because team averages are where it really matters."

"Who says tubular anymore?" Carmen asked a nearby Courtney.

"Old people like Chris," Courtney shrugged bluntly.

The camera made a cut to Chef, Dakota, and Sam manning three identical cannons. "One member each from the opposing teams will be firing these birds aiming to knock your blocks off into the water," Chef explained from his cannon.

"And don't worry, the fall won't be into rocks," Dakota reassured. "Total Drama is proud to collaborate with the Wawanakwa macro ecosystem in hiring animal representatives in an effort to raise awareness for the effects of toxic waste and excessive pollution."

The camera focused on the unconventional weaponry, what looked to be mutated gulls with rattlesnake tails. "That's horrific," Devante gulped.

From the water a familiar gray fin splashed out of the water. The campers let out a gulp as Carmen, Jaiden, and Carson craned their necks over the rim of the tank. "FANG!" The three shouted. The mutant shark gave an almost menacingly friendly wave before diving back in.

"The shark?" Raihan asked.

"The very same," Hilde figured.

"He'll be around every so often," Chris shrugged. "But he's not supposed to be on site on his days off so you can't get any secrets from him."

"How would we do that?" Devante asked.

"You won't, so don't bother," Chris shrugged. "Since the teams are unbalanced only five of you will be competing. Mixers and Gaffers get to picking."


Confessional, Angelo

I don't know if I would have focused all that well this challenge because I got to sit out. I feel bad though. I mean, have you seen these guys? When do I look like this? E gia spaventoso, how much more if I was on the board!


Confessional, Devante

…What? I'm not an athlete. And I weigh the least out of all the others on my team besides Jaiden. And Jaiden says she's got some workouts from Lightning that'll help her.


Hilde bit the bullet and opted to go first. She steadied herself on the simulated board as Fang jumped out of the water. The motor on the board started as she held her hands out for balance. "Oh…." she groaned. Another camera shot showed Devin, Raj, and Jaiden manning the cannons. Raj fired his cannon first high above Hilde's face. "MISSED ME! MISSED ME! NOW YOU HAVE TO KISS ME!" Hilde taunted.

"Really?" Raj blushed. "I umm-"

"IT'S JUST A TAUNT!" Devin shouted. "WOMEN ARE GOING TO KISS YOU AND THEN LEAVE YOU!"

"Take that passion and direct it to Hilde!" Jaiden shouted. She fired her gun at the same time as Devin and Hilde backed up on the board. She lost her balance and splashed into the water. The entire endeavor lasted two minutes and ten seconds.

The camera splash transitioned and showed Devin on the board. He waved to Carrie with a thumbs up, a clear look of red blush now on her face. She made a hand motion to force Devin to look at the cannons ahead and keep balanced.

First to fire was Hilde, who shouted something incoherent. Then Raj fired his gun straight into Devin's stomach. The contestants winced as a red welt appeared on his stomach. Raj, Hilde, and Jaiden leaned forward expectantly as Devin teetered back and forth on the board, coming close to falling several times. He finally fell in once the board shifted back and he fell back first. The camera seemed to highlight his rather ripped torso now marred by an annoyingly large red welt. From the time he got on the board to the splash in the water it was only a minute and twenty-five seconds.

Jaiden hopped on the board next with a nervous glance at her fellow teammates. She held her thumb up before she suddenly looked at the front of the board. It tilted back and she clung to it tightly, screaming all the while.

"BOOM!" Devin shouted as he fired his gun high above Jaiden's head. The poor girl screamed as the surfboard tilted to her left.

Raj fired his shot next and hit Jaiden on the back. She screeched loudly, with Fang being shown closing his eyes tightly. That shot caused her to lose her grip and she slowly slid off the water. That took a minute and twenty seconds from the start to the end.

Finally, Raj stood on the board with a confident grin. "Bro, do a fakey into the hang ten!" Wayne called out from the side.

"Don't give him advice!" Raihan snapped. "He's the enemy!"

"But I don't want him to get hurt," Wayne innocently replied.

"Then wish him good luck, don't make him do a fakey into the hang ten," Raihan explained.

"Alright, stay safe Rajie!"

Raj smiled and held up a peace sign while the surfboard started running. He managed to shuffle back and forth along the length of the board in a bent over position. He was able to dodge Devin's shot with a jump. Unsteadily he managed to stick the landing, only to receive a blow to the head. As he staggered back, the camera caught wind of Hilde high-fiving Jaiden as she fired her own shot into Raj's side. The striker fell into the water and rushed out as Fang chased after him. "And that's two minutes and thirty seconds for Raj!" Chris said while a board updated behind him.


Confessional, Hilde

That gun felt good in my hands.


Confessional, Devin

Maybe I shouldn't be visualizing Shelly…. I SHOULD BE VISUALIZING HER NO GOOD TWO TIMING POWER ABUSING TENNIS INSTRUCTOR!


Confessional, Raj

I didn't know mutated gulls fire that fast!


Confessional, Jaiden

Well… at least I outlasted someone… Hopefully I won't be the weakest link.


Carson was the next one up on the board. He undid his ponytail and his hair fluttered in the back. A light shone on him and he seemed to be basked in a glow rather similar to surfers on the covers of romance novels. "You know, I kind of see what Sierra saw in him," Carmen commented from her cannon station. "No es mi tipo usual, pero I see it."

"Yeah, I do too," a nearby Angelo said. The two locked eyes in understanding and shared a smile before Carmen cocked her cannon.

The others watched as Carson managed to stay on the board while dodging two shots each from Sugar and Carmen. Nature lover Ella was hesitant to fire her shot before she could reassure the mutant gull bullet and as such only fired one in the same amount of time. His luck finally ran out when Fang suddenly placed his hands on the board and flashed a horrifying smile. Carson tumbled in the water as Fang tried keeping him under for a cursory amount before he climbed out with a time of three minutes and fifteen seconds.

Next up was Ella, who managed to stay light on the board as it rocked back and forth. The camera cuts to a seagull fired by Sugar with a vengeful "GET DOWN SIREN!". The camera shot tracked through the air as Ella seemed to harmonize a scream. The gull suddenly snapped out of it and flew away.

"HOW IS THAT FAIR?!" Sugar shouted.

The momentary distraction was enough for the board to tilt and send Ella into the drink. Fang helped Ella out after her two minute and five second endeavor.

Sugar was still fuming when she stepped onto the board. So distracted was she that she lasted a scant minute when Carson fired a bird directly into her right thigh. The groaning pageant queen screamed as Fang popped up next to her, only for the shark to recoil at her breath.

Last of the batch was Carmen. While the board was still steady she fixed her bikini top, taking extra care to angle herself towards the camera and make it so that she was more stable on the platform. She expertly dodged the first two shots from Carson and another shot from Sugar before she suddenly bent over too much and tumbled head over heels into the drink with only a minute and ten seconds on the clock.


Confessional, Ella

Oh I wish I never have to do something like that again. But if they ever do funny buddy animal comedy movies I'm a shoe in!


Confessional, Sugar

IT'S NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR NOT FAIR NOT FAIR! I'M THE PAGEANT PRINCESS HERE!


The next batch of contestants, Chase, Courtney, Beardo, and Wayne, lined against the tank as Fang looked over. "Lap it up ladies and gents, this mega sensation is single and ready to write you a jingle!" Chase flexed his admittedly impressive physique. "Yep, if you've ever wanted the smash hit biking youtuber as your boyfriend I'm taking applications!"

"They better be ready for a bevy of lawsuits," Courtney snorted to a nearby Beardo and Wayne. Beardo chuckled and let out a sound effect of a bike bell ringing.

"What does a beverage of lawsuits taste like?" Wayne inquired.

"I'll explain it later if I remember," Courtney dismissed.

"YO CHASE!" Emma taunted from the sidelines. "GET ON THAT BOARD TO SHOW OFF YOUR SIX PACK! THE LIGHTING UP THERE IS GREAT!"

"Are you really trying to hype up your ex?" Carrie asked from a bench.

"I know what I'm doing," Emma confidently stated.


Confessional, Emma

If only his personality was as nice as his abs are to look at. AND IF ONLY HE DIDN'T REACH A SPEED OF EIGHTY MILES PER HOUR BIKING HIS MOUNTAIN BIKE ON MY BED!


"You got it babe!" Chase said. He pushed Courtney to the side and hopped on the board. He looked up at the light as he tried to find another camera. When his eyes locked onto one he popped a cocky flex with a raised eyebrow.

"Trying too hard, but at least he looks good," Devante commented.

"That mentality isn't a good one, but I can agree to an extent," Tem said.

While Chase tried to strike another pose, the board started to whir underneath. He let out an unsteady woah as he tried to remain balanced. He flashed a pair of finger guns when he recovered. A gull fired from Courtney's gun nearly hit him in the hand. He recoiled and moved further back. Just as he did so Wayne fired another bullet. Chase managed to jump over that one.

He remained steady on the board while Beardo imitated the sound of his gun firing. Chase nearly stepped off of the board in response. As he recovered Fang leaped high in the air and came down with a splash. Beardo chose that time to fire his gun. Chase jumped over that bullet.

The board moved out from underneath Chase and the influencer tumbled into the water. He frantically swam away from Fang and climbed out the tank. He flopped on the ground with a groan as he saw that he lasted two even minutes.

Next up on the board was Beardo. He gave a small wave to Fang as he tried to steady himself on the board, adopting a bit of a wide stance. Just as the board started tilting he was able to manage to stay on it. It looked like he was able to find a steady base with that wide stance. It wasn't enough when a gull hit him square in the kiwis, and he tumbled into the drink with a very loud foghorn. "That was only fifty five seconds…. Oww," Chris winced.

The mutant shark pushed Beardo out of the water with a far more gentle touch than he used for the other contestants. He, too, winced at the pain.

Next up was Courtney. She steadied herself as she pushed her bob of brown hair back. The camera seemed to provide her appealing angles as she put both her hands out in a steady stance. She managed to expertly contort away from Wayne's first shot. She dropped into a backbend in order to avoid another shot from Beardo. She recovered in time just to get hit in the shoulder with a glancing blow from chase. Growling, she tried to steady herself, but another shot to her stomach finally knocked her in the water. "One minute and fifty-nine seconds!" Chris announced.

The final one of the batch, Wayne, hopped onto the board. He seemed to steady himself much like Raj did, only this time he adjusted his baseball cap. Wayne put on a cocky face that quickly turned into terror when Chase fired the first shot mere inches from his head. Breathing heavily he retreated to the back of the board. He managed to keep steady even as it tilted upward. He managed to get down into a low grab. He managed to hug his body around the board while Beardo's next shot fired over his head.

The board seemed to tilt in an unusual manner as Wayne hung on for dear life, screaming all the while. He received Courtney's bullet to his back. As if to end the charade, Fang grabbed onto him and pulled him into the water. "He could do that?" Emma asked.

"I'm surprised he didn't try that on me," Jaiden breathed a sigh of relief.

Wayne hopped out of the pool as a screen indicated he lasted three minutes.


Confessional, Wayne and Raj

Wayne: (He turns his back towards the camera and to Raj) Bro this is going to be some nasty scar.

Raj: Remember the shark hockey team? One of their teammates tried to bite you in the locker room?

Wayne: Scha…

Raj: Would you rather do that, or spend more time with fang?

Wayne: Oh I'd rather be back on the ice.

Raj: You said it! And Fang is cold blooded, there's no way he'd follow us onto the ice.


Confessional, Fang

(He's filing his nails. Suddenly he notices the camera. He huffs a little before he pulls up a puffy winter coat. He's got it covered)


"So do you want to-" Justin started to ask Sky.

"I have a boyfriend," Sky instantly said. "Sorry, reflex after what happened with Keith."

"I remember that tool," Justin sighed. "Still doing theater?"

"I don't know and I don't care," Sky clapped her hands. "I do know he's a diva!"

"Diva Ex? Heard that one before," Emma coughed.

"There's only one guy for me," Carrie said to herself.

"Anyways, who wants to go first?" Justin asked. When he received no response from any of the girls he sighed. "I guess I'll do it. Might as well get used to this water."

Justin dipped his hands into the water and ran it through his hair. Thanks to post editing shenanigans a faint choral hawaiian theme began to play as he shook his hair. Most of the ladies stared at him stunned before Justin stood up straight. "Sorry, just trying to get used to the chill."

The three girls took their place at the cannons as Justin stood proud at the bow of the surfboard. "It's almost too bad that I have to do this," Emma sighed.

Emma fired a shot that flew high above Justin. "KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING JUSTIN! IT'S WORKING!"

Justin bent over and jumped in majestic arcs. He took several glancing blows that only slightly marred his perfect frame. His luck finally ran out once Fang grabbed the surfboard's fin. Suddenly taken off guard, Justin splashed majestically into the water. He stepped out and gave a wink to Fang. "You'd expect a native Hawaiian NOT to know how to surf?


Confessional, Justin

I know I went out early. But come on, they should know better!


"Well there's going to be a lot of edits for him," Devante noted.

"He's…" Chase started to retort. "He's alright…"

"He also lasted two minutes and five seconds, which was more than you," Devante snarked.

"Yeah…" Chase frowned while blush tinted his cheeks.

Emma was next on the board. "Come on babe, if you manage to throw it for my team I'll let you have a kiss!" Chase shouted.

"AS IF I WANT A KISS FROM YOU!" Emma screeched while the board started moving. A look of determination flared in her eyes as she managed to dodge Justin's first shot. She dodged the next shot rather well, and the one that Sky fired. She seemed to be doing good until Fang grabbed the tail of the board again. Unlike Justin she did a painful flop into the water. The others winced. "CHAAAAASSSSEEEE!"

"How long was that?" Sky asked once she hopped down.

"One minute and one second," Justin said.

"Okay," Sky smiled. "Here's hoping I can do something."

"Best of luck," Carrie politely wished.

Sky managed to jump onto the board with a flip. "Maybe it isn't so smart to do that…" she mumbled as she adjusted herself into a more appropriate stance. When the board started moving she was able to nimbly shuffle her feet and jump over the first shot fired by Emma. She looked at the Mixer to see that she had fire in her eyes and she was already gearing for another shot.

Sky cursed for a moment just as she hopped over one of Justin's shots. She landed on the surfboard just in time to see another two birds firing, one below her knee and one just above her head. When she tucked into the jump she rolled off of the surfboard. As she recovered her center of balance she hopped off of Fang's nose and triple flipped to the end. "Wow, four minutes and twenty seconds," she said, impressed.

"Haha," Zee chuckled. "That's a magical time right there."

Raihan turned to Zee with a strange look. "That's not because of-"

"No, it's because that's the price of a twenty pack of these orange sodas," Zee suddenly produced one out of nowhere. "Want one?"

Raihan eyed the drink suspiciously before relenting. The two shared a small toast as they watched Carrie on the board. She seemed to stagger a lot and that flailing only increased when a gull hit her in the neck. She fell into the water, gasping, only recovering to scream when Fang showed up next to her. She hopped out of the water and tried to dry herself off. "Aww man, fifty five seconds?!"

"It's okay homie! You did your best!" Devin shouted.


Confessional, Carrie

No I didn't… at least I didn't get a welt on my body. Like Devin did on his abs… Devin…


Confessional, Raihan

Alright, last up, I saw all the failures, and if I can just cling onto the board that means I'm going to win. Hopefully no one else catches on…


Confessional, Sky

I had to make up for it after the way I looked at Justin… but I'm done with those muscleheads! I'm happy with Dave! He's perfect the way he is!


First to hop on the board of the last batch was Raihan. She took off her glasses and handed them to Sugar. The pageant queen made sure that Raihan was on the board before she put them on herself, her eyes becoming wildly distorted. Sugar took them off and held onto them gingerly.

Shawn fired his cannon first. Raihan, focused on trying to remain steady without her glasses, managed to barely avoid one of them by dropping into a backbend. As she groaned in pain another shot from Tem landed on her knee. That caused her to collapse onto her back and try to cling to the board underneath her. It was a cumbersome position but she held on for another ten seconds before Fang reached up and pried one of her fingers off. Surprised, Raihan slid into the water upside down, the entire ordeal only lasting a minute and five seconds.

Tem was the next up. She clapped her hands together as she stared forward. She tried to find something steady to focus on, but she was immediately forced onto one foot when a lucky shot hit her hips. Groaning, she flailed her arms like a windmill, and she managed to touch the board before she flopped off of the side. "Wow Tem, that wasn't even a minute!" she scolded herself as she saw she only lasted fifty seconds.

Shawn was next to take his position on the surfboard. He stretched his hands and arms in order to remain limber. Tem fired her first shot and Shawn was able to duck below it. He looked to his left at another gull firing right by his ear. He lifted his leg to avoid a haphazard shot from Zee. Shawn steadied his breath with his hand on his chest before he managed to dodge the next four birds.

His luck ran out when three birds hit him in the torso, head, and the kiwis. The campers winced when he hit the water before he finally shot out, seemingly unharmed. "It hurts… but I have to take harder hits every so often…" Shawn explained. "And that was four minutes! Tied with the gymnast!"

"Nice," Sky pursed her lips.

Last up was Zee. He finished his can of orange soda and handed another can off to Beardo, Devante, and Angelo, and Raj each. "So, we're done here right?" Zee asked.

"No, you have to get on the board." Beardo explained.

Zee hopped onto the board and stretched his arms. "So what am I supposed to do up here?" Zee asked Beardo.

"Stay on the board!" Beardo shouted encouragingly as the board started to whir.

Raihan cocked her gun and looked down the sight. After a brief look at the birds in the gun barrel, she pulled a trigger and fired. It hit Zee in the face. He recoiled momentarily before another bird hit him square in the face again.

Zee scrambled to get out just as Fang grabbed his leg. The campers watched in horror as Zee tried to pull himself out of the vat, screaming all the while. Fang, satisfied with his fun, threw the slacker out. "HOLY TARNATION! CYBORG!" Sugar shouted. "YOUR LEG!"

The camera panned downard to reveal that Zee's lower body was unbalanced. Emma and Tem let out horrified screams as Zee rubbed the stump where his leg was. Devante covered his eyes, falling over, possibly passing out as Sky turned away. Angelo gulped nervously as Fang threw his leg back at Zee. "A little rough there, Fang," Zee grunted. He shook the prosthetic and let some water come out of the joints. He sniffed it before he turned to the others. "What?"

"Wait, you had a prosthetic this entire time?" Justin asked.

"Yeah," Zee said as he affixed his leg.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Raihan peered around the gun.

"My body, my choice," Zee shrugged. "Let me ask you this Raihan, why didn't you tell us why you don't have a prosthetic leg?"

"I suppose that's fair," Beardo interrupted. "Thanks for your help Zee, but it didn't do much."

The contestants looked at the monitor. In the lead were the Hollering Mixers at two minutes and eight seconds. Then after were the Lethal Costumers with an average of two six seconds. The Killer Grips were in third with one minute and forty-four seconds. In last were the Screaming Gaffers with only one minute and twenty six seconds. "Aww man," Zee hung his head.

"We gotta keep moving, so we'll take you to the sunnier set on this soundstage!" Chris said while Dakota drove Fang away. Sam wheeled the board over to the set as the campers dried off on their way to the sun shining beach.


Confessional, Carson

I am not one for beaches… have you seen how pale I am?


Confessional, Devante

Do you ever get that feeling you missed something really important and everyone else just assumes you know about it? I don't know why but I have that feeling right now.


Confessional, Zee

(He fixes his leg) Oh don't worry I signed up knowing the risks. I got some spare legs to help me out.


Confessional, Carrie

I think I did well on this challenge, hopefully I can keep it up.


Confessional, Jaiden

Okay I didn't do good this last challenge, but I can always do better in the next ones, right?


"Wow, this is hot," Carson gasped.

"It's a beach," Devante deadpanned.

The camera shifted to show Chris in front of a fake water backdrop with a small lifeguard chair on his left. To his right seemed to be another tank similar to the one that was underneath the surfboard. "Welcome everyone to the sandy beach set! This, the site of your next challenge in this best of three, will be a good old fashioned collaborative effort."

"That sounds simple," Raj said, to which his team suddenly snapped their heads at him.

"That's… actually because it is," Chris shrugged. "Once I finish this rules explanation you'll have one hour to build a sand castle using the sand beneath you and the water next to me."

"So we just make a Chris head and we win," Emma shrugged.

"Not necessarily," Chris objected. "I'm not going to be judging-"

"So a Chef head?" Devin asked.

"Or a Dakota-" Carson started.

"NO!" Chris turned the lifeguard chair around. "I'm sure most of you remember Max from Total Drama Revenge of the Island."

"I AM YOUR JUDGE FOR TODAY FOOLISH MORTALS!" Max cackled from his seated position. "AND ANY ATTEMPT AT FLATTERY WILL RESULT IN THIS!"

Max kicked up the sand as he hopped down from the chair. It flew into Chris' face as he panicked and ran straight into the painted backdrop. "Can we cut that out?" Chris asked.

Sam looked at Max, and then at the other contestants. "You heard him, one hour," Sam said as he suddenly played a sound from his tablet.

Courtney huddled the Mixers up. "How big do we want to make this castle?" she asked.

"Based on the water we have, probably not too big, so the devil is going to have to be in the details," Hilde gruffly pointed.

"Why don't we make it an opulent castle that one can see from the lowest of valleys and the highest of hills? It'll be a beautiful dream for all who live there and a symbol of hope for the residents of our fair country?" Ella asked.

"This is a sand castle," Shawn bluntly stated. "They're forts to protect the most important people. And beautiful, yes but that comes after the base."

"Why don't we just go for a simple base and then build on from that? From what I know German castles are beautiful," Emma chimed in.

"I can trace out the bottom floor," Angelo meekly spoke up.

"Start from the center and work your way out, that way you'll be the most defended from the zombies," Shawn said. "What? It's base building basics."

Ella started to hum a little ditty as she gathered piles of sand close to her team. She seemed almost adorable as she started to build.

Elsewhere on the same beach, the Costumers had taken a more separated approach to their sandcastle. Chase started to dig a moat with his hands, making sure that none of that sand got into his shorts at all. Carmen preoccupied herself with building small sand gardens and terraced platforms. "Si los gentes del arena quieren un lugar para las fotos, les voy a dar…"

On the other side Raj was flattening out a rather big area with a trowel. He started to etch some lines in the sand. Sky was also building something staggered and elevated nearby. As she sculpted out a piece with a small shovel she wound up throwing sand onto Raj's portion. "Hey Sky, sand doesn't belong on an ice rink!"

"Ice rinks don't belong in castles," Sky countered.

"Well they can, but for the sake of theming, let's stick to the medieval," interjected Tem, who was mixing water and sand to make some kind of paste.

The camera shifted to show Devante reclining on a particularly large pile of sand. "I did my part," he explained to a looming Beardo and Zee. "So what are you two up to?"

"I dunno," Zee shrugged. "Do you want to build a snowman or something?"

"Zee, we're building out of sand. It'd be a sandman," Beardo said.

"Whatever you do, just make it a castle and put it within the boundaries of the base."

"Why did you make the base so… uneven?" Jaiden asked, carrying a bucket of water.

"It's not uneven, it's uniquely plotted, it'll help us stand out," Devante defended. "Look, I'll show you…"

He grabbed the shovel from a waiting Beardo and started to sculpt a low lying wall. "This wall is the first defense after the moat. You can walk in and have a good view. It'll be a good thing, trust me. Now we just need this wall to transfer around."

"And you're going to do it?" Beardo asked.

"I did my part, now you can help by doing the rest," Devante insisted.

Carrie was working at the center of the plot of land with the basics of the castle already starting to unfold. She wiped her brow and looked up to see Devin on his hands and knees starting to elevate the walls of his castle, which looked rather low and flat in comparison to most typical European castles. Devin wiped his brow and waved a happy smile to Carrie. She eagerly matched it before going back to sculpting.

Carrying a bucket of sand, Sugar tripped over her own feet and tumbled in the sand. "Man, what's the point of having a pageant queen do all this? Queens don't build their own castles!" she grumbled.

"Well it's not your castle," Raihan said. "Technically it's going to be Max's if he likes it."

"Even trolls deserve beautiful luxury," Justin whispered. Sugar laughed as Wayne plopped next to Devin.

"So, what's the goal for this thing again?" Wayne asked.

"Europeans aren't the only ones with castles," Devin explained. "This is going to be like one I saw on a trip back to Vietnam,"

"Oh, did you fight in the war?" Wayne asked.

"N-no," Devin stammered. "But my great grandfather did for a year."

"Killer," Wayne said.


Confessional, Carrie

Devin and I spent so much time in the sandbox when we were younger. We made so many sandcastles. I feel like competition is going to be tight between me and him.


Confessional, Ella

I know this castle isn't big enough for all of us, but I hope that the little sand bugs do enjoy this.


Confessional, Raihan

Sugar can criticize all she wants and I can't believe we're just supposed to take it for 'harmony'...


Confessional, Raj

I don't think we're building a medieval castle, we're building a sand castle! AKA one that can have an ice rink!


Chase stuck his hands into a pile of sand that he and Tem were piling up. "What have you been up to since Total drama ended?" Chase asked.

"Just photography," Tem shrugged. "I love getting photos of the city life and I've been going to restaurants with other members of the Island cast."

"Well that's good," Chase sunk his hands further. "I'm going to be in need of better photographers than those clickbait scam artists online. Can you believe that Emma's natural thumbnails are doing so much better than mine?"

"I can believe it," Tem sighed.

"It doesn't make it right though," Chase suddenly yanked his hand out of the pile, screaming as the tiny crab on his hand pinched tightly.


Confessional, Chase

Oh yeah it hurt, but I was totally hamming it up for the camera. You'll be thanking me when video compilations of injuries skyrocket.


Angelo carried a pail of water to his team's building site. He wiped sweat from his brow before turning around to see Hilde carrying two buckets of water. He tried to sidestep the much taller girl as the taller girl did the same. Some water spilled out into the sand. "Sorry," Angelo apologized.

Hilde dropped both buckets as Angelo started to scoop out water into a hole. A little fish jumped out of the ground and slapped him in the face. Nearby, Shawn started to scatter sand in order to make a flatter base.

Shawn's hand plunged deep into the sand as he tried to look for suitable support deep within. "I know they usually hide stuff here," he mumbled. "There's gotta be something that we can use as support…"

He put his other hand in the sand and suddenly pulled it out. He blew the sand away from his fingers in order to properly investigate. A familiar mug appeared within his hands and he opened his palm discreetly, turning his back towards his fellow contestants. "Is this it?!"


Confessional, Shawn

(He's holding the idol) IT IS! Oh crap what do I do, what do I do, what do I do?!


"How many windows do you think we need?" Devin asked Raihan. Nearby Wayne managed to divide sand near him into two separate and identical piles

"Enough to look pretty but not so much that the sand castle will collapse," Raihan explained. "Maybe some portions of the castle won't need windows."

"Good point," Devin agreed. He poked his finger through one of the low walls. The entire wall collapsed on him. "Do you think you could help me out here?"

Raihan let out a long and exaggerated sigh. She put down her glasses as she started to help. Nearby, Justin scooped up the sand to make something of a small tower. Oblivious to Raihan and himself, Justin buried her glasses in the sand. "And that looks like- hold on lemme back away…"

Devin continued sketching out the doorways and windows while Raihan fumbled behind her for her glasses. "Where did…" she crawled around, eventually wandering further inland.

"Are you going to get her?" Sugar asked, carrying a small shovel.

"Who? Raihan?" Justin asked. "I don't think she swings in any way."

"Yeah we're probably better off building without her," Sugar planted the shovel into the sand. She pulled out the glasses Raihan was crawling around for. "Hmm, these belong to her, don't they?"

"She can come back to us," Justin dismissed.


Confessional, Wayne

People with glasses have four eyes, right? Why didn't Raihan use two of them to see that her glasses were with Sugar.


"Now you're going to need to gently let it fall out of your hands," Devante slowly released a fistful of sand. "That'll give us a gentle incline."

"Inclines can be rough? Neat," Zee opened one hand and let the sand fall in a pile. He used his prosthetic leg to make a rough outline of a pit. "What's this pit for again?"

"Nothing," Devante thumbed his temples. "You're just making a pit when we don't need it."

Nearby Beardo was humming to himself as he made a wall as tall as he could with the sand he gave to himself. He poked a bit of the sand pile with his fingers before a fly buzzed in his ear. As he swatted at it, he sent some sand flying. "OW!" Jaiden suddenly rubbed her eyes. Blind, she stumbled over Beardo and knocked down his tower.

"I guess that's my bad," Beardo scratched his head full of hair. When his fingers scratched his hair a lot of sand fell out. "Hmm, that's strange." He continued and more sand fell out, and water fell out, and a crab walked out.

"Very," Jaiden pushed herself off of the ground,


Confessional, Jaiden

(She blows into her nails) Not my idea of a beach date… though I guess I would have ended up with Sand in my nails either way.


A brief montage showed more of the contestants contributing to their respective castles. By the time the montage ended the campers were covered in sand and awkwardly scratching at their bathing suits. "Alright," Chris stepped up. "You'll give one sentence to describe your castle and Max will judge. If he doesn't like it he'll smash it to pieces."

Courtney stepped up first as the representative of the Mixers. "Esteemed Max, we have prepared for you today a traditional German castle. It is blocky but beautiful, with rooms upon rooms to lose your enemies in. Towers allow you to look upon the kingdom you have claimed for your own." Max nodded stiffly as Courtney took a step back, hardly anxious from that spiel.

Devante stepped up next. "Alright Max, we have a natural evolution for a thriving castle town. Everyone puts in their work to their very best ability. There's a little something for everyone as the town is diverse for an equal opportunity evil world." Devane shifted as Max looked over the conflicting and imperfect features.

Devin stepped up once Max made his way to their castle. "Alright I know this isn't a standard European castle but if you are to conquer the world you have to acknowledge that the world isn't all europe. This Vietnamese castle is low lying and expansive with meticulously placed windows in order to account for proper air flow and beautiful sightlines."

Tem cleared her throat as Max next stopped at the Costumers' castle. "Today we have prepared for you…" Tem hesitated as some of the water from the nearby container started to spill into the moat. She winced as the castle seemed to lean precariously and ultimately collapsed. "We prepared for you a classic castle with a drawbridge and a moat. Think about the defenses and the opportunity for you to put up your own touches. It's not move in ready but it is ready for you."

The campers waited as Max again pondered his decision. When the short former contestant made up his mind he turned to the others with a particularly high step.

"Well," Max stomped around the four castles. "It's clear that one of you has excelled above the rest and one of you distinctly sucked! Where is the passion? Where's the energy? HOW CAN YOU EXPECT TO FIND A FUTURE IF YOU AREN'T THE PERFECT ARCHITECTS FOR MY FUTURE EVIL LAIR?!"

The contestants stared at each other before Max cleared his throat. "Ahem, so let's start with the worst. That tower is horrible, it's slanted, and your attempt at a moat flooded your foyer! How exactly do you plan to have guests in a castle like that if it were to exist? That is why Costumers, you're the worst."

Carmen and Tem closed their eyes as Max jumped into their sandcastle, completely stomping it into the ground, and sending sand flying into the air.

"Alright, the next worst castle… WHY? You had such a good base but the little decorations around were too, too, distracting! Unless you designed them as traps… WHICH YOU CLEARLY DIDN'T! And where are the windows? How do you expect to see your enemies? And how do you expect to find the panic rooms when you're lost at night and trying to fumble for a switch?"

"Told you it was a bad idea," Carson glared at Beardo and Zee. "Why'd you insist when you had better plans for a sound system? That would have been a lot cooler…"

Max kicked his feet against the sand garden and the sand labyrinth that they spent so much time working on. Carrie sighed sadly as her little sand topiary garden turned into crumbs. To add insult to injury, Max kicked away the small shack that connected to the castle, which earned Devante's ire.

"Now… we have two great castles! One of them is much like the old German castles of the renaissance era and medieval times," Max gestured to a multi spired castle with blocks and forests surrounding it. "There's too many trees around, but I like the twisting passageways between the simple structures. However, we have a low lying and flat and beautiful southeast asian castle! It's hard to get an image of the scale, but the moat weaves through the low lying buildings and the high points with such beautiful precision. It pains me to do this, it really does…"

Max jumped in the air and his left foot destroyed one tower of the German castle. "That made the symmetry atrocious! That means the low lying vietnamese castle wins!"

The Mixers each patted Ella on the back. It was a good idea, but the finer details got them. Emma glanced at Chase, laughing at the pointed bits of the tower still standing. "HEY, WE STILL BEAT YOU!" Emma shrieked.

"Yeah but it wasn't enough, "Chase shrugged.

Furious, Emma picked up sand and blew it into Chase's face. "Oh how sweet, you blew me a - MY EYES!"

The camera cut to Devin bent over next to the castle. He adjusted a window and smiled. "Nice one Devin," Raihan thanked. "I didn't think Vietnam had such subdued beauty."

"Not a lot of Canadians think about Vietnam to be frank," Devin shrugged. "BUT AT LEAST SOMEONE APPRECIATES VIETNAM'S BEAUTY!"

Raihan put her hands on Devin's shoulder as she guided him away from the castle. "If you're going to freak, do it in the confessional, LIKE SOMEONE NORMAL!"


Confessional, Devin

…you know Raihan has a point…

SO YOU KNOW WHAT SHELLY!? YOU CAN KEEP YOUR TENNIS RACKETS! I'LL KEEP MY VIETNAMESE TEMPLES!


Confessional, Emma

It feels GOOD TO Beat Chase AGAIN! But if I calculated right, they're only one point behind us. But hey, you can put that on the epic Chase Fails compilations on youtube!


Confessional, Ella

The beauty of nature is how asymmetric its nature is… for humans have their hearts on the left side, if they were on the right we would be far too passionate.


Confessional, Beardo

We should have had this in the bag! Maybe it was that we did too many things at once… (Womp womp)


Confessional, Shawn

Man, I would have thought my cake decorating skills would have brought things over the top… Now I have to deal with actually using this thing! (he holds up the idol) And I don't know how to do that!


"And at the end of every beach shindig there's a way totally cool party at the end! Usually a luau or a bonfire, so we opted for a hybrid of it!" Chris proudly flourished as he revealed a small limbo stick atop a wooden dance floor. Surrounding it were prop pineapples and prop tiki torches that provided staggered lighting on the set. To the corners were moai heads with flowers on their heads.

"That's from Easter Island!" Justin shouted. "That's not Hawaiian!"

"And neither are limbos," Chris countered. "We said it was a hybrid of the beach scene."

Justin looked to his team exasperated before he finally shook it off. "Doesn't rub me the right way," he mumbled.

Dakota walked on screen with a hammer and chisel and handed them off to Chef. "better safe than sorry," she shrugged.

Chef walked over to one of the Moai heads and chiseled one of them with surprising force. When the moai head disintegrated in the middle of the rubble Mr. Coconut rested pristinely atop the pile. "And I guess this is our third cameo of the episode," shrugged Chef as he moved to the next Moai head.

"Right… All the teams are separated by at most four points. Theoretically the team in last place could pull ahead and still earn one of two immunities," Chris explained. "This time the party will feature a lot of small set pieces and your goal this time is to get everyone else in so much trouble that the bouncer will have no choice but to kick you out."

"And the bouncer is Chef?" Raihan asked.

"A good guess, but not this time! Meet Rodney! The first boot of Total Drama Pahkitew Island!" Chris said as Rodney stepped out, this time wearing a Hawaiian shirt that barely covered his giant frame. He was clad in laddershades and had some kind of mask on his face.

"Big deal," Carmen snorted. "Las chicas son listas para el himbo."

"Rodney has set up a classic beach game. Better get your stretches all out, because it's time to l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-limbo!" Rodney pointed to what looked like a mechanically supplemented limbo bar. "And not just limbo, because you've gotta keep moving. When you stop moving the party stops and when the party stops after thirty minutes the game is over. The last team to have a party in the game makes it."

And you're going to judge us?" Raihan raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, but Rodney will kick you out," Chris pointed. "It'll be a tap on the shoulder."

"So is this limbo or is this dancing?" asked Wayne. "Because they're, like, totally different."

"Yeah we can just duck under the bar," Devante pointed out

.

"Nope, you have to backbend under the bar," Chef clarified.

"Not really," Chris shrugged. "Now, five minutes to get stretched out! Let's go!"


Confessional, Beardo

Well, I'm not the most flexible, but if I can contribute to my team outlasting the others I'm sure we can win.


Confessional, Courtney

I've calculated it, even if we place last, we can still avoid elimination if the grips win…


Confessional, Angelo

Wow, looks like my height is actually worth something this time.


Confessional, Emma

The last time I limboed I split my pants, so now that I'm in a bikini that' should be less embarrassing


Confessional, Carmen

POR FIN LA OPORTUNIDAD PARA DEMONSTRAR QUE YO PUEDO HACER!


A camera wipe showed all the campers lined up in two rows for the limbo bar. In the first row were the shorter contestants while the taller row featured the taller contestants more or less grouped with their teams. Chris pressed a button nearby on a remote that allowed the bar to extend to the length of the entire dance floor. "Let's get ready to Limbo!" Chef shouted as a tropical drum beat started to play from speakers nearby.

The bar started at one end of the board and the campers awkwardly started to sway to the beat of the music. Rodney looked on with his mouth agape as they started to bend and spread out. "Well they're mobile," Rodney said appreciatively.

"Yeah shut up," Dakota, walking up with a half exposed coconut drink. "No girl will appreciate that statement."

The bar traveled towards the campers in a smooth hit. "Wow that's fast,'' Courtney said when she ducked under the bar by bending over backwards. The camera followed the bar as it moved towards the campers.

Miraculously everyone was able to bend under the bar, even Beardo, who struggled to get back up, but still was able to bend under the bar on its return trip. "Do you think it'll get faster?" Beardo worriedly asked Zee as they shimmied.

"I dunno," Zee cracked his knuckles. "This isn't my idea of a fun party."

"Not for me either," a nearby Raj said. "But how often are you going to dance shirtless under a stagelight with a bunch of good looking peeps?"

"True that," a nearby Carrie tittered. "But there's only one person for me."

"You say something homie?" Devin boogied close to his best friend. "I definitely know what prom isn't gonna be, like this."

"With DJ Chef and Chris as a chaperone?" Carrie chortled. The two started laughing as the camera panned to Jaiden and Devante in a small conversation.

"Did you have parties like this in the fancy hotel?" Devante asked. "Ones that didn't make it to the camera?"

"No, after Tyler's birthday we weren't really in a partying mood," Jaiden started to do the sprinkler. "It really wasn't that fun once we got to the business."

"But that's the main part of it, the business," Devante said. "And strategy and business right?"

"Not sure if I'd entirely agree," Jaiden said. "It's a lot of fun and no one else gets this opportunity so might as well take advantage of it by having fun, right?"

The camera changed to Hilde dancing stiffly next to the much shorter Sugar. "What exactly are you doing?" asked Hilde.

"I'm dancing to get the cows to come home!" Sugar dropped into a painful looking split and flailed around with her upper body. Then she flopped into a strange looking pose with her hands erratically slapping the air. Exhausted she rolled onto her back and stared up as Rodney carried her away.

Hilde shivered before she turned her attention to Raihan and Ella nearby. "Note to self, don't do that," Raihan thought aloud.

"How crass," Ella said. "I very much prefer those elegant ballroom dances. They're beautiful moments out of a dream!"

"And what Sugar did seemed to be out of a nightmare," Hilde deadpanned. The bar started again and the trio of girls leaned backwards in order to avoid the bar coming up to them.

The camera shifted to an overhead shot as Carson and Devin started dancing close to each other. The two seemed to try to muscle each other out of the way before the bar came over. Carson hollered out in pain and held his hand to his face while Devin seemed to breathe easier. "That was a close one," he sighed. Rodney dragged Carson out of the dance floor.

The bar continued on its path, hitting no one else but still catching Shawn off guard, who stopped dancing. "Sorry Shawn, that's it," Rodney escorted the zombie nut out.

"Aww man," Shawn lamented.

The bar started its return trip and hit Devin in the back of his neck. The Grip hollered in pain and Carrie rushed towards him. "That counts as stopping," Rodney told Devin. "And you too… umm… blond, green, like lawn and clover… Carrie."

"Well you got my name right," Carrie sighed. "I'll go."


Confessional, Rodney

Still working on that entire talking to girls thing. It's so much easier when Sadie's telling me what to do.


Confessional, Sugar

Man, that dance move makes Leonard smile all the time… why did I just now realize how painful it is?


Confessional, Carrie

Devin's, cute when he's coordinated, cute when he's hurt… hopefully no one on my team saw that…


Confessional, Carson

These rookies seem a lot more aggressive with the challenge, or maybe I'm just out of practice.


The camera focused on the Costumers as they all seemed to dance in a group. "Sweet moves Carmen," Chase complimented. "You're really flexible."

"I can roll my back like I roll my r's," Carmen playfully retorted. "Tem, you might want to start dancing con sus dos pies."

"Pee?" Tem asked a nearby Raj. The hockey player shrugged as he bobbed his head back and forth.

The Costumers cleared a dance circle for Chase as his moves started becoming a lot more elaborate. The camera panned overhead to show the Mixers, Grips, and Gaffers doing something of the same as they kept dancing together. Beardo actually managed to make something of a good hip hop inspired dance as he roped Devante into his shimmy. Nearby Angelo and Ella were doing elegant moves that still evoked a classic party scene. Raihan moved stiffly but her fellow team members were hyping her up regardless.

There was a sudden whur and the bar started moving. Chase jumped in the air in a particularly flashy move as the other Costumers bent backwards. He had just started to come down when the bar swept his legs. The hypester earned a sudden face plant into the ground. "That doesn't look good," Tem winced while she awkwardly danced.

The other teams managed to let the bar pass over them on the first pass. Beardo nearly tripped but steadied himself as he used Zee and Jaiden as something of a crutch. Jaiden kept dancing even as Zee and Beardo stopped to catch their breath. "Aww man," Zee sighed when Rodney escorted Beardo and Zee out of the field.

The others kept dancing as the bar made its return trip. Tem whipped her hair back and forth but didn't duck in time when the bar finally got to her. She grabbed her head in pain as Rodney took her away from the dance floor.

"So, you used to dancing a lot?" Courntey asked Hilde as their dancing became slower and slower.

"Nah," Hilde gruffed. "Not interesting to me and those school dances were just boring."

"I hear you," Emma agreed. "Especially since a certain ex boyfriend of mine tried to recreate Carrie."

"How do you recreate a person?" Ella asked.

"The horror film," Emma deadpanned.

'Is it just me or is it getting harder for you to move?" Jaiden asked Devante, the only other person remaining on her team.

"It is, I haven't moved this much at a dance since ever," Devante agreed. "Do you think dancing together would help us keep our energy?"

"Sure," Jaiden said as the two faced each other. The two started a rather bland and slow waltz, enough to keep things moving but not fast enough to keep things from being awkward.

Sky and Raj stared at each other as they tried to keep their dances, forming something of a game trying to imitate each other. It wasn't clear who was winning, and it certainly wasn't the camera.

A quick pan to the grips showed Wayne doing a clumsy and fast dance move. Justin was able to replicate that move in a more fluid motion while Raihan seemed to move a lot more stiffly than either of them. Wayne changed his dance move and the others did the same.

The bar moved again at a much faster rate than before. Caught off guard, the mixers tried to back away from each other. Hilde barely grazed the top of the limbo bar while Courtney took a hit straight in the neck. She grabbed her throat and collided into Angelo, who stopped dancing to steady himself. Rodney tapped their three shoulders and the trio grumbled off.

Otherwise, the bar claimed no more victims.

The camera changed to the bar's point of view as it moved on its final back and forth trip. It was moving quickly as the two closest to the bar, Carmen and Raj, barely had any time to react. Carmen tumbled to the floor ungracefully. Jaiden and Devante managed to duck under the bar and broke their not so slow dance while still awkwardly moving. Raihan pulled down Justin who pulled down Wayne on both trips of the bar. Emma managed to avoid the bar on the return trip as it sped up. Ella managed to leap high into the air in a soft pirouette, landing on both of her feet as the music slowed. Raj found himself knocked to the ground looking at Ella's rather elegant leap, the final victim of the game.

"Sorry Ella, that counts as a failure," Rodney said. "But your heart leaps like a beautiful gazelle and you travel through the air like a graceful kangaroo."

"Thank you Rodney," Ella sighed. "But why was that a failure?"

"Because you went over the bar, not under it," Sky pointed out. "Unlike the rest of us who ducked under it."

Chris walked up to the campers with a tropical mocktail in his hand. He handed it off to Rodney as the cameo left the building. "Alrighty! The challenge is up! In last place, with only one survivor, that's the Mixers!"

"Wait, how did we lose that one? The Costumers only have one member left too!'' Courtney objected.

"Yes but they also had one less member, so they lasted with a greater percentage remaining," Dakota pointed out. "It's unfair but they also didn't lose most of their members in a fell swoop. But the Costumers only' got third place with that."

"In second are the Gaffers with two members left and in first are the grips!" Chef loudly stated. "But we've tallied up all the placings from all the challenges. If you got first place you earned four points, second place three points, and so on and so forth."

"That means… the two teams who are safe… with ten and eight points respectively, are the Killer Grips and the Hollering Mixers!" Chris cheered.

The two safe teams cheered loudly while the other two teams seemed to hang their heads down. "That means Costumers and Gaffers, you're up for elimination. To the Grips, Mister Milton is presenting you with a two-hundred dollar, Canadian, gift certificate to one of his boutiques in your nearest Milton resort and luxury shopping experience."

Post Challenge

The campers left the soundstage. Some were happy, some were disappointed, but the cameras were still rolling. A thirty minute time transition took the campers out of their swimsuits and into their usual wear. The safe teams managed to relax in their trailers or by the Mess Hall while the two teams in danger, the Gaffers and the Costumers, started to strategize, scrambling about the film lot.

"What's good Beardo!" Zee exclaimed, giving the hairy beatboxer a wave from his beanbag chair inside the trailer.

"How did you get a bean bag chair?" Beardo asked, his eyebrows raised in concern.

"I… Don't… Know." Zee exclaimed, pulling out a soda and sipping it

"Same way you get your soda's I guess. But I wanted to like try and chat about the vote a bit?"

"Sure dude, what's on your mind?" Zee asked, sitting up more in his beanbag chair.

"Well, I've been keeping my eyes peeled, and I just have been noticing Devante being a bit suspicious," Beardo explained, adding a traditional mystery like soundtrack to emphasize his point

"What's he doing?"

"He's been very vocal about voting out the 'non strategists' and his mannerisms don't sit well with me."

"Nonstrategists?"

"People like you or myself who'd rather do things based on vibes."

"Oooooooohhhhhhh I get it now. So like, do you want me to vote for Devante then?"

"Yeah, cause I think he is coming for you."

"That's not cool at all!" Zee exclaimed, dropping his soda and bringing his hands to his face in shock.


Confessional, Zee

Devante needs an orange soda in his life. Dude just needs to chill out.


Confessional, Beardo

Hitching my wagon to Zee may bite me, but I have these things called morals, and I don't feel like letting Devante steam roll.


"I'm telling you, Zee has got to go!" Devante exclaimed. Carson and Jaiden sat across from the shorter boy in the Craft Services Tent.

"Not that I'm opposed to voting Zee. But why do we need to make sure he goes home?" Jaiden questioned, her eyebrow raising.

"He just doesn't offer much of anything. He isn't anything special in the challenge, he isn't strategically good, nor is he socially that great."

"I don't know, I think he's pretty fun to be around," Carson replied.

"Have you ever had a one on one conversation with him that wasn't about soda or his leg?" Devante asked.

Carson paused briefly. "Well no… I guess not."

"My point exactly."

"We'd need one more to ensure Zee goes. Would Carrie be on board?' Carson asked.

"I could talk to her, she seems to like me," Jaiden said.

"Then it's settled, bye bye Zee," Devante said, he stood up giving the pair a curt nod before exiting the tent.


Confessional, Devante

FINALLY! It is time to play the game!


"We're both on the same page that he was oddly forceful about that right?" Jaiden asked Carson, turning to the anime junkie.

"No, yeah we're on the same page there. He's not wrong about Zee, but the way he talks… is needless to say off putting," Carson replied.

"I know you're paranoid about playing the game too hard too fast again… but is it bad that I think blindsiding Devante may be the right move?"

"Hmmm." Carson paused, bringing his hand to his chin. "I don't know… we have some sort of thing with Devante, I'd feel wrong betraying him at the first vote off."

"I get that, but it's not like it's the jury phase or anything. Besides if Devante gets too far he may cause problems"

"Let's just see what Beardo and Carrie say. We don't need to hurry into a decision at all," Carson replied, standing up from the table.


Confessional, Carson

I know Devante and I have an alliance, but like Jaiden raises a valid point of if Devante is this pushy over Zee of all people, what will he be like later.


Confessional, Jaiden

I get Carson's concerns, flipping on Dawn burned him last time, I don't blame him for not wanting to cut Devante loose this early. It's so uncharacteristic of me to act like this, but Devante is just way too pushy and demanding for a guy who lounges around.


"Our first meeting as a girl's alliance! I am so excited!" Carmen cheered. The three lady Costumers had gathered themselves inside their trailer, Sky and Tem sat next to each other on one of the beds while Carmen sat across from them on the other.

"I am too!" Tem exclaimed. "Obviously it sucks to be back at the ceremony, but at least we're safe among each other."

"Agreed. Let's just figure out which one of the boys needs to go," Sky stated. "Do we think either has an idol?"

"Chase is too self absorbed to bother looking, and I think by now we know Raj is too much of a team player to be sneaky," Carmen mused.

"Then we should be good to just put our votes on whichever one we want gone then right?' Tem asked.

"Yeah. Any preference between the two?" Sky inquired.

"Yeah I kinda lean on keeping Chase. He's easy to manipulate, and Emma hates him. Give us a little bit of leeway you know?" Carmen explained.

"That makes sense. But I think if we keep Raj we've got a better chance of staying. Besides, if Raj is loyal to us, then so is Wayne by proxy," Sky countered.

"I'm kind of with Sky on this one. Besides, Chase just flat out irritates me," Tem added.

"I mean, to be fair, someone like Chase is a prime punching bag later at a swap. I can only think of one or two people, that annoying, that actually made the merge," Carmen mused.

"Don't remind me," Sky said with an eye roll.

"Let's see what the boys say, if one of them comes after us, then it's decided," Tem concluded, earning nods from the other two girls.


Confessional, Tem

Carmen… stop trying to make the flirt game work… I know that's why she wants to keep Chase. But seriously you want to flirt with Chase? Of all people?. I'm pretty sure I heard him flirt with himself in his sleep last night.


"Hey Raj!" Sky exclaimed, walking over to the hockey bro giving him a small wave.

'Sky! What's happening!?" Raj yelled back, jogging over to the gymnast.

"Nothing much. Just you know, going back to the ceremony again," Sky replied, her face showing a sign of defeat.

"I know, I didn't think it'd suck so much to go to these things. But it's way more draining than a hockey match."

"Yeah. Coming back here, I really wanted to win more. I only went to six ceremonies, but I voted wrong nearly every single time, I just want to avoid them."

"Oh one hundred percent. I guess that means you want to keep the team strong eh?" Raj asked, folding his arms.

"Yeah. I don't know about you, but I feel like Chase has really been weighing us down," Sky replied, fidgeting a bit with her hair.

"I get it eh. He seems like a fun personality, but he seems pretty checked out in the challenges."

"Yeah exactly. We just need some more focus, you know. Like I know I'm a gymnast, and I'm used to competing more solo and all, but I still get the idea of working as a team."

"One hundred percent. It's nice being able to play with someone else who has a sports background, you get the grind and how hard it really is."

"Yeah exactly. I like the girls, but I do think we have a special connection because of that."

"Oh for sure. We'll get back to winning in no time!" Raj cheered, fist pumping into the air.


Confessional, Raj

I'm so glad at least one person on my team is an athlete. She isn't Wayne, but she's a good substitution while he's in the penalty box


Confessional, Sky

You know…. Maybe there is more to Raj than just a hockey bro… key word being maybe.


"Yeah, Devante has been rubbing me the wrong way too. He only wants to talk strategy," Carrie said. The camera panned down to Carrie and Beardo who were walking side by side past the movie sets.

"Yeah. I get Zee, hasn't been the most present… but the way Devante has been going about the vote has been very off putting. At least to me you know."

"I agree wholeheartedly. I do think we have to keep team strength in mind. Both lack a bit in different ways when it comes to challenges."

"Yeah both can be… a bit lazy in general. Just at least consider it, Devante is kind of obviously trying to just strong arm everything."

"Yeah I see it, don't worry I will!" Carrie replied. Beardo nodded, and gave a thumbs up before walking his way back to the trailers.


Confessional, Beardo

I hope we have the numbers on Devante, he is such a schemer man.


"Beardo asked you to vote for Devante?' Jaiden asked Carrie, as she and Carson walked over to the curly haired blonde.

"Yeah he did. Did he talk to you guys too?" Carrie asked.

"Yeah. He raises some fair points about Devante. But I'm still not sold one way or the other," Carson replied.

"I kinda lean voting Devante right now, he does come off very schemey," Carrie said.

"I do too. I don't really trust him. But Zee has also been a bit of a liability as a whole, Not like Devante has been much better if at all" Jaiden added.

"Yeah. I lean Zee personally. Devante's head seems to at least be in the game, and if we ever make it to a swap as a five, we can at least trust Devante to try and get us into an alliance. Or take a bullet for us as a shield," Carson mused, shoving his hands into his pockets.

"Yeah, but his schemeyness could also mean he could flip. But Zee would also probably forget a swap happened. Both are individually bad for our games in their own way," Jaiden stated, folding her arms.

"I trust you guys. I think we make a good trio. So whatever you guys think is best, let's do it!"


Confessional, Carrie

I know neither Jaiden or Carson are one hundred percent committed to either direction, but they're really making me think if Devante going is the right call. Like they've played this game before, and I want to follow their lead, but I also want to do my own thing at the same time.


Confessional, Jaiden

Carrie is such a sweetheart. I think she is still a bit star struck, but once we get further I think her personality will start to shine through a bit more. But I'll let her figure that out at her own pace.


"Soooo Chase, I wanted to pick that beautiful brain of yours to see what you were thinking," Carmen said, grabbing onto Chase's arm as the pair sat in the Craft Service's Tent munching on a small snack.

"I don't know. I was thinking of just voting off of who would look the least good for a guest spot on my Youtube channel!" Chase exclaimed, flashing a bright white smile at the camera.

"Uh huh… well I was thinking that maybe we could vote for Raj tonight? Keep the good looking people around you know?"

"Raj? No he's hilarious! You gotta keep a comedic genius like him around. And you and Sky are fairly attractive, so I think I'm leaning Tem for this vote you know." Carmen raised an eyebrow and nearly slammed her head into the table in response.

"I think Tem could be a good ally though? I think she finds you cute, you know!" Carmen said with a flirtatious wink.

"I don't blame her. My looks are always on point. But we gotta keep the max amount of content around, and I think compared to the rest of us, she just doesn't compare."

Carmen let go of Chase's arm and gave a massive eye roll. "Alright then, I should be heading out, see ya Chase!" Carmen exclaimed, jumping out of her seat and speed walking herself away from the Youtuber.


Confessional, Chase

Wait… was she hitting on me? Someone tell her she needs to telegraph to the camera more because that's not a good display.


Confessional, Carmen

….Dear producers…. Por favor… di me que hay men or women on the other teams that like to flirt… I have a Waynesexual and Denser than the Earth for the men, Tem is straight, and Sky is taken…. I am a lot of things, a homewrecker is not one of them… that said Dave, you bagged yourself a smokeshow, if you lose her, you're an idiot.


"Chica! I wanted to talk to you real quick before we head over to the ceremony!" Carmen exclaimed, jogging away from where she talked to Chase, over to where Tem was situated

"What's up Carmen? Something come up?" Tem asked, scooting over to make room for Carmen on one of the benches.

"Nothing major, but I just wanted to let you know that Chase is probably voting for you."

"Oh wonderful, another stray vote," Tem scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"Yeah, I tried talking to Chase, to feel him out. But I think he is just as dense as we all initially thought. I tried flirting with him and everything too."

"Yeah, for a dude with a successful Youtube channel, he sure is stupid. But thanks for letting me know. I doubt he has anything, so we shouldn't need to worry."

"Agreed. I'm glad you're keeping a level head about this. Having the votes actually read is such a change of pace from our seasons."

"I know right? I don't know how some of those people last season didn't lose it seeing their name written down."


Confessional, Tem

….Chase… Carmen threw you the easiest slam dunk of your life and you let it hit you in the face…. How do you have a successful Youtube channel? Like actually how.


Confessional, Carmen

With Chase being an idiot, I had to tell Tem. Builds some trust at the end of the day. After last time, I need a lot

of that.


"So you're just going to lounge there?" Devante asked Zee, who was sprawled out along the bench of one of the picnic tables by the trailers.

"Yeah man, it's nice to lay down and relax once in a while!' Zee exclaimed, continuing to stare up into the clouds.

"That's all you do! You just sit there, drink soda and relax!" Devante exclaimed in a huff.

"You could do with some relaxing man, you're harshing the mellow."

"This is a social strategy game Zee! You should, you know… socialize and strategize!"

"But the game doesn't need to be that way dawg. It can be fun to just lay down and enjoy our time here!"

"Whatever dude, when you go home tonight, you can relax all you want," Devante said storming off past his four teammates who looked on in concern.


Confessional, Zee

What did I even do to this guy to make him so annoyed? Dude's got a few screws loose. I would know, my leg has some.


Confessional, Devante

Note to self. Stoners are not worth your time or limited effort.


Elimination Ceremony

"Welcome in Gaffers and Costumers!" Chris exclaimed. The eleven campers filed into their respective bleachers. "Costumers you've been here before, you know how this works. As for the Gaffers, as you can see on your seats each of you will get a small remote device. Using this you will vote for who you want to eliminate, and a small blurb. Once you submit your vote, I will get a nice printed message with the name of the person you voted for!"

The Gaffers nodded in understanding before Chris continued. "You all will vote now, as the Costumers finished last in the challenge, I will read their votes first, and that individual will get twenty-second, and the Gaffers' eliminated player will get twenty-first. Now get to voting." The campers nodded, each clicking the face of the person they wanted gone.

"Alright I have the votes. If anyone from the Costumers has a Hidden Chris Immunity Idol and they'd like to play, now would be the time to do so," Chris exclaimed, pausing briefly. "Alright, I'll read the votes."

"THIRD VOTE… Chase."

.

.

.

.

.

"FOURTH VOTE… and the third person voted out of Total Drama Action… Chase."

"Well that's no fun!" Chase exclaimed, jumping up from his seat. "I'd say good luck, but I think it'd be funnier for the content for you guys to all go home premerge!"

"Whatever," Carmen said with an eyeroll.

"Emma will be happy about that," Carrie whispered to Jaiden who let out a small snicker.

"What is with this show, and voting out all the beautiful people early," Chase grumbled. "And Chris I need that hair gel, we could do a collab!"

"Pass…" Chris deadpanned. "Chef, can you get the Youtube boy out of here." Chef marched over picking up Chase who was screaming for Chef to put him down, before Chef threw Chase into the Lame-O-Sine.

"Now onto the Gaffers," Chris exclaimed, the camera panning back to the soon to be team of five. "If anyone has a Hidden Chris Immunity Idol and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so." Devante stared directly at Zee who was sipping on a soda casually. The others stared towards Chris awaiting for him to start reading the votes.

"Alright I'll read the votes."

.

.

.

.

"FIRST VOTE…. Zee."

"SIXTH VOTE… And the fourth person voted out of Total Drama Action… Zee."

"Shoot… well that sucks." Zee chuckled. "I had a good time all the same. And I enjoyed telling so many stories about my leg man."

"Those were fake?" Devante exclaimed.

"Well duh." Zee said, earning a chuckle from the Costumers and Gaffers alike.

Beardo stood up and gave Zee a high five and a smile. "Good luck man, keep with that beatboxing, you're really good!"

"Thanks dude," Beardo replied, giving Zee a big smile.

"With that, I bid you all farewell!" Zee exclaimed, walking down and jumping into the Lame-O-Sine, soda in hand.


Final Confessional, Chase

What's up guy! Ugh no that's not good enough. What's Up! Ugh no I sound way too much like Morgz. "What's up guys! It's your boy Chase here! Voted out in a massive epic prank. I'll be back in the game in no time pulling epic pranks and getting these people out of the game. And I got the girl Carmen all over me, it's a complete and utter win!


Final Confessional, Zee

Man I didn't think I'd go out this early. I still had at least ten more stories about my leg to tell. Oh well, I at least met Beardo, he was really chill. And I wish nothing but the best for my team man. They're a cool group, maybe one of them will go on to win this thing, that would be pretty epic not going to lie man.


"Two more campers bite the dust. With twenty left, the numbers are thinning fast. With still plenty more votes to go, there is surely going to be more blindsides and drama. And with Shawn finding the first immunity idol, what does that mean for his team, as well as the other hidden idols in the game. Only time will tell!"

Votes

Carmen: You are both incredibly dense… and an idiot. Chase

Chase: You're not that cute to be honest. Tem

Sky: Why did we end up with crazy, delusional, and dumb. Chase

Tem: You are like a modern day Chris. And no Topher that is not a compliment. Chase

Raj: You kinda failed on the ice today man. If you stay, I hope you get your head back on straight. Chase

Beardo: I'm pretty sure you've talked more strategy than everyone else combined, and it hasn't even been half a week. Devante

Carrie: You seem chill, but you're almost too chill. Zee

Carson: I don't want to leave an ally out to dry again… even if this ally may become an issue soon. Sorry Zee

Devante: I said this day one, but I want to play with actual players. You are just an NPC. Zee

Jaiden: Carson convinced me this was the right way to go, I like you Zee but Devante is right, you are a bit too lazy for us to win challenges. Zee

Zee: Beardo said we should vote out Devnate cause he's going for me man. Which is like, so not fun. Ooo I wonder if the ceremony will supply snacks to go with my soda! Devante

Reviews

LordGemini (Trygve): Yeah definitely a few errors we could have cleaned up in the last episode, but not the biggest deal hopefully at the end of the day.. As you can see the doubles will indeed continue, so hopefully we are handling that well. All the campers are canonical on the Discord, but not all of them use it frequently. So Tem and Justin still could know very little about each other despite being in the same circles. You were right about Chase being gone, Devante was in the firing line, who knows if he will be next. Well I know what happens, but you don't! Hope you enjoyed.

(Rj): Thanks for pointing out those errors there, definitely sloppy on our part. We do have more doubles going on and hopefully your favorites will survive the rest of them. I would argue that there was very little pregaming in terms of the returning campers meeting each other. Again thanks for the help with the spanish.

Nobody245: (Trygve) Yeah the 3 episode format we did this season was specifically because we wanted to maximize Lauren, Anne Maria, Chase etc as we knew losing some of these big characters early who were bad players would suck, so we wanted to get them more content using that. Anne Maria was a tough choice, but we wanted to pick a returnee that would make sense, but also set the tone for the game this season

(Rj): Who knows if Lauren will be the one pulling an Izzy? Lauren is honestly the weakest character of the reboot if you ask me but I hope we made her enjoyable this time around. Yeah Anne Maria just didn't have a good reality run on Total Drama.

SuperSonicHeroes: (Trygve): Well about those double eliminations… those will indeed be continuing, like I said to Nobody, Lauren sucked to lose early due to being a big character but there was no way we could justify an extended stay for her in this universe, and yeah Anne Maria was the unfortunate soul that we decided best to boot out for a returnee early. It was a really tough call but we felt it best that a returnee needed to go in the first set of eliminations.

(Rj): Not going to lie I also forgot that Action did start with a double elimination but with how many characters we have they're going to continue for these next episodes. I hope you aren't too mad about that.

GoodGuyGary (Trygve): Well Carson survived, with him he does have a bit of a paranoid rep, but I hope this episode showed a bit of shine to him trying to learn a lesson from ROTI. As far as Zee and Beardo, we knew instantly they were a great pair to have, sadly Zee like Lauren is just really hard to give an extended stay in this type of universe, esp with players like Devante who are massive strategists and Jaiden who are trying to leave a mark on their return.

(Rj): Unfortunate that Zee and Beardo did wind up split. I could see Zee going further but ultimately this game has evolved to a more strategic game than he was prepared for. As for Carson, I think it's a case of the devil you know vs the devil you don't.

24th: Lauren: 5-1

23rd: Anne Maria: 4-2

22nd: Chase: 4-1

21st: Zee: 4-2
