The episode starts with Don narrating. "Last time on the race around the states, Taylor accepted Rock's request to go on a date." "Shortly after that, we went off to Utah to do some snowboarding." "Paul had actually made a bet with Officer Chambers, that after the challenge, Junior could go longer than five minutes without puking." "While sliding down the mountain, Junior didn't know which way to go, so he just followed his dad." "His dad ended up winning, and he got to share the podium with his son, and Emma." "But instead of being happy about his first win of the season, Dwayne was seriously concerned for the well being of his son." "Can Junior last another challenge in his current state?" "Find out on this episode of, the race around the states."

Intro consists of a shorter version of the final countdown.

While everyone else was at self defense class, Harold and the rockers were attending their first gig. The three of them were playing Life is a highway, in a bar. The three of them had yet to come up with a name for their band. Despite the fact they were in a bar, they thankfully didn't have to put up with having beer thrown at them.

About three hours after that, Rock and Taylor were having a private date in a fancy restaurant. "Why not name the band after a deceased family member?" asked Taylor. "Harold says it won't be from his family, because he considers most of them to be dead to him" said Rock. "Does he really mean that?" asked Taylor. "Does he legitimately hate his own flesh and blood?" "I know they lied to him about his dad, but what about all the happy memories he had with them?"

(Confession cam- Remember the happy times)

Taylor- "I'm not going to lie, I used to despise Harold." "I thought of him as an unhygienic nerd, who wouldn't shut up." "I also thought that because he eliminated Courtney under false pretenses, he was a cheating dick." "That was before Junior made a massive scene, and stood up for him, claiming him to be a hero." "Now I realize that every time it seemed as though Harold did something stupid, he was actually in the right."

(Room 8- Jay and Chris)

Jay had just gotten back to the room, to see something absolutely horrifying. Hazel was lying on the floor, covered in blood, with all of her feathers completely gone. Chris was on his bed, holding a knife, and reading a cookbook. The page he had turned to, had a recipe for owl soup. Jay was mortified by what he was seeing. His precious Hazel, on the verge of death, about to be turned into supper. He then had a war flashback involving a previous roommate trying to harm her. Jay then felt a massive surge of rage, and began going red in the face. This time, he wasn't losing his hand. "SEE YOU IN HELL MCLEAN!" he shouted. He then grabbed Chris' arm, and yanked him off the bed. Jay then began punching the shit out of Chris, using his right hand. He then took things to another level, when he began furiously scratching him all over with his sharp fingernails. He was breaking several of Chris' bones, and tearing off several parts of his skin. He even resorted to biting him. All Jay was focused on right now, was inflicting as much harm to Chris as possible, without leaving a single part of his body unharmed. Chris tried his best to fight off Jay, but was not successful in the slightest.

Everyone else came to see what all of the yelling was about. When they arrived, they were horrified. Chris was lying on the ground unconscious, covered from head to toe in blood. Jay was standing right next to him, with Chris' blood splattered onto him. To make matters even worse, Chris' entire left arm was completely detached, laying beside him in a million pieces. Everyone then looked on the ground, and saw the condition of Hazel. They then realized, what had just happened. Jay then took a look at his barely conscious owl, and tears began to form in his eyes, before he began uncontrollably sobbing. He then jumped face forward onto his bed, and began banging his fists on the mattress. "ME AND MICKEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER SIGNED UP FOR THIS FUCKING SHOW!" he shouted. "MY BROTHER THAT I'VE KNOWN SINCE BIRTH WILL NEVER SEE ANYTHING AGAIN, AND NOW MY ONLY REMAINING FAMILY MEMBER IN THIS COMPETITION, IS ABOUT TO DIE!"

(Confession cam GOD DAMNIT!)

Mary- "There was not a single scratch on his prosthetic hand, he did all of that damage one handed." "I cannot believe how much power he has."

Kitty- "What has become of this competition?"

**End confessional**

It wasn't long before an ambulance showed up on the scene, along with the vet. As Chris was being put on a stretcher, Don spoke to him. "If by some miracle you are well enough to continue on in the competition, you will not be coming back." "You are hereby disqualified from the race around the states." The vet then wrapped Hazel in bandages, and gently put her in a cage. "Goodbye Hazel, it's been fun" sobbed Jay. "I know it's not very likely, but Hazel might get through this" said Josee. "After all of the shit I had to put up with, there isn't a point in having faith in anything anymore" said Jay. Chris was then taken to the hospital, and Hazel was then taken to the vet. Jay then turned towards Taylor. "It shouldn't have been Hazel, it should have been you" he said. "What the hell did I do?" asked Taylor. "After that incident in Kansas, you didn't care at all about Mickey being on his deathbed" said Jay. "Signing his headgear was nothing but a publicity stunt, to make yourself look like a better person." "Ever since day one of last season, you've been nothing but a spoiled asshole." "WELL ALLOW ME TO LET YOU IN ON A LITTLE SECRET!" "THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND SELFISH BRATS LIKE YOU, THAT WHINE AND BITCH DESPITE HAVING A PERFECT LIFE!" "THERE IS NO POINT IN LIVING YOUR LIFE, IF YOU AREN'T WILLING TO DO NICE THINGS FOR ANYONE BUT YOURSELF!" "YOU ARE A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING, AND YOU DESERVE TO DIE A SLOW AN PAINFUL DEATH!" He then angrily marched back into the hotel, while giving Taylor the middle finger. All Taylor could do, was let out a disappointed sigh. It was at this moment she realized, for most of her life, she had been an asshole.

The following morning, as everyone was about to get on the bus, Jay didn't say anything. He pulled his hood over his head, and pulled the straps tight. He was clearly still upset about the fact that Hazel was on the verge of death. "Well, because the only reason why I was here was to be Chris' parole officer, I won't be needed anymore" said Officer Chambers. "It's been fun guys." After bidding everyone goodbye, he got in his car, and left. "Okay, we won't be meeting Chris' replacement, until we get to the next state" said Don.

It took them awhile to get there, as traffic was an absolute nightmare. When they finally did arrive, the sun was beginning to set. Upon seeing who the replacement for Chris was going to be, Harold went red in the face with rage. The replacement was a black haired girl with brown hair, wearing an orange jumpsuit. "Oh great, what the fuck do you want with me now Courtney?" asked Harold. "Trying to pull off another failed attempt to murder me?" "You are a liar, I never shoved you into the water with a pole weighing you down" said Courtney. "Because of you, my life is ruined." "Because of you, i'm on trial for two crimes I didn't commit." "You clearly don't know the difference between sexually harassing someone, and playing a harmless joke." "That was not harmless you bitch, that incident gave him PTSD" said Junior. "Do you seriously think i'm going to be intimidated by an 11 year old?" asked Courtney. Dwayne then pinned Courtney against the wall. "You dick, my son is 15" he said. "Why is somebody wanted for attempted murder, even allowed to be on this show?" asked Sanders." "Apparently, the judge put her on parole" said Don. "Oh my God, this legal system is fucked up."

(Confession cam- Jesus tap dancing Christ)

Courtney- "Why the hell is Jay allowed to compete?" "Unlike me, his attempted murder was done on camera, and seen worldwide."

Jay- "A lot of you are probably wondering, why i'm not facing attempted murder charger for trying to kill Chris." "That's because it wasn't attempted murder, I was protecting Hazel." "Chris got what he deserved, and i'm not sorry for what I did, not in the slightest."

**End confessional**

Everyone was then led into a fishing village. "We are in North Dakota, this state is famous for a lot of fishing" said Don. "While we won't be doing any fishing, there is going to be a rowboat race." "In the water, is a 2 mile boat course, with several buoys acting as walls." "You will start in rows of two, based on where you currently are in points."

Everyone soon had life jackets on, and were now sitting in rowboats. "What kind of parole is this?" asked Jay. "I don't see a parole officer anywhere." "I think I saw him emerging from a women's restroom, whoever the officer is, he's clearly intoxicated" said Miles. "Oh my God, this system is more fucked up than I thought" said Harold. Eventually, the race began. Courtney was rowing like a complete maniac, and was constantly slamming into the other contestants. She and Dwayne started the race near the back, and were working their way up to the front. When they got to Ryan, Courtney slammed into him so hard, Ryan's boat ending up crashing into a buoy, and sunk. Dwayne then slammed into Courtney, causing her to spin out. Dwayne was ultimately able to get to the line first, with Kelly finishing in second, with Courtney crossing the line in third backwards. Jay got fourth, Chet fifth, Emma sixth, Sanders seventh, Noah eighth, Laurie ninth, Zoey tenth, Owen eleventh, Leonard twelfth, Kitty thirteenth, Ennui fourteenth, Junior fifteenth, Tammy sixteenth, MacArthur seventeenth, Stephanie eighteenth, Geoff nineteenth, Mary twentieth, Miles twenty first, Jacques twenty second, Pete twenty third, Spud twenty fourth, Ellody twenty fifth, Tom twenty sixth, Taylor twenty seventh, Lorenzo twenty eighth, Harold twenty ninth, Crimson thirtieth, Josee thirty first, Jen thirty second, Gerry thirty third, Carrie thirty fourth, and Rock thirty fifth. Ryan was credited with dead last, due to being unable to finish the race.

(Confession cam- Row row, row your boat)

Ryan- "Well thanks a lot Courtney, there goes my point lead."

Kelly- "While I am glad to be the points leader, I can't say that i'm happy with how I got into this position."

Harold- "This chase has gone from bad to worse, i've fallen all the way back to tenth."

Dwayne- "There was no way I was letting Courtney win, not after the way she treated my son."

Taylor- "Normally i'd complain about my mom doing better than me, but after what just happened last night, I have nothing negative to say."

**End confessional**

The podium ceremony was now happening. By now, the sun had completely gone down. Courtney was standing on the third place pedestal, Kelly was standing on the second place pedestal, and Dwayne was on the winners pedestal. "Way to go Dwayne, back to back wins" said Don. "You just got yourself, a refrigerator, made by KitchenAid." Brody then showed up. "Once again, I am back from the hospital" he said. "Well, before I leave, I at least wanna say goodbye to Toby" said Zoey. Jen then walked up to Lorenzo. "I've thought about it, and we need to stop denying it, because we could die any day" said Jen. "I'm ready if you're ready" said Lorenzo. The two then kissed each other on the lips. "I knew it" said Tom. "It was only a matter of time" said Chet. "Don then turned towards the camera. "Only six challenges remaining" he said. "Will Ryan be able to take back his points lead?" "Find out next time on, the race around the states."

Authors note: Before any of you try to point out how the situation with Courtney is not how the legal system works, I would like to point out that it's also screwed up in the canon show. When Courtney was suing the producers for her "unfair" elimination, Harold should have been at the trial, as he was heavily involved in the incident.

A major inspiration for this story, came from what's going on in the actual show. I don't dislike the idea of a new season of regular Total drama, but I would much rather see a season 2 of the Ridongculous race. I've made it no secret that I think the spin off is the best thing to come out of the franchise. One big reason for this, is the change of host. While Don sometimes makes bad calls, and tends to be a little self centered, it is nowhere near the level of how horrible Chris is. Chris is a terrible and unlikeable character, and I can't stand seeing him as the host. I really hope this new season isn't the last of the show forever. If Fresh tv ever decide to cancel the show permanently, is must end with the Ridongculous race, and Chris needs to get his karma.

As always, if you have an idea for a challenge in an upcoming state or a prize for a future challenge winner, feel free to let me know in a review.

Thank you for reading and please have a great day.
