Review time!
Yeezynight14: Leonard is my least favorite character after Sugar, so I'm glad you think I wrote him well.
Goodine777: This fic was intended as a blend of the Total Drama canon into a single story arc. However, it begins in a highschool where all the characters attend, which is important because that environment affects the interactions between them, hence the title. Sorry if it seemed a little misleading.
That British Guy: Agreed, but he, like all the characters, will be getting some development in this fanfiction. And to answer your question, some future episodes will reuse preexisting teams.

"Last time on Total Drama – we played doctor! [Carrie helping Junior read the mannequin manual] Teams Sanguine [Katie and Sadie admiring Rodney's muscles], Choleric [Taylor's shoes being ruined by water], Melancholic [Ellody showing Dakota that page in the textbook], and Phlegmatic [Lindsay complaining about the content] had to read a complex manual on how to assemble mannequins from parts stored in tanks full of murky, cinnamon-laden water. [Courtney being lowered into the tank] The team with the most of their mannequin complete within half an hour won the challenge. [Team Choleric putting together their mannequin] And Team Leukine had to stop them from finishing in time. [Scarlett making off with the bladder Harold had just finished] Team Phlegmatic put on a show [The performance Phil had cooked up] and Team Sanguine came to blows. [Laurie trying to attack Alejandro] Alejandro threw the challenge to get rid of wizarding wannabe Leonard [Alejandro convincing Leonard he's a peacemaker], who fell under his spell and got himself eliminated [Leonard's elimination] much to the relief of everyone not named Tammy."
Chris stood at the Dock of Shame. "Eighty-two contestants remain. Who will slide into victory, and who will skate to the Dock of Shame? Find out here on
"Total.
"Drama!"
Theme song
*Instrumental*
A camera appeared from the bushes, scaring off a squirrel. Another came from a tree, startling a blue jay. The third popped out of the ground, hitting a passing Harold in the groin. Duncan and Jacques laughed at him.
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine
You guys are on my mind
The camera flew across the island, passing Chris on a beach chair getting massaged by an intern, Dawn meditating with Zoey, Brady and Beth on a rope swing together, Leonard and Tammy casting "spells" while Ella watched, Crimson and Ennui staring blankly into space, and Chet and Lorenzo fighting to the disapproval of Ellody and Mary.
You asked me what I wanted to be
And now I think it's plain to see
DJ, Miles, and Laurie were one with the animals. That is, until a mutant gopher showed up. They screamed and ran away. Pan to Scott, Lightning, and Jo, who'd disrupted the session with the gopher. They high-fived.
I wanna be famous
Heather, Josee, and Taylor battled it out on a rubber raft. The raft fell off a waterfall, taking them with it. Bridgette, Geoff, and Brody watched.
*Instrumental*
The three girls found Owen underwater. Owen farted, sending the rivals and more than a few dead fish to the surface. Above, Zeke, Mike, and Rodney were fishing in a little boat when the lake became littered with fish and three teenage girls. Zeke grabbed one of the dead fish and triumphantly held it over his head, while Rodney began checking out Taylor's rear.
I want to live close to the sun
Well, pack your bags cause I've already won.
At one of the beaches, Katie and Sadie admired Justin. Behind them, Justin's ex Lauren sighed sadly. On the other side of the beach, Izzy, wearing a spider costume, was chasing Cameron, Dakota, and Sam for no apparent reason.
Everything to prove nothing in my way
I'll get there one day
Chef was cooking some disgusting green slop in the cafeteria. Kitty and Junior looked at each other, frightened of what was to come. Behind them sat Tyler, Leshawna, Ryan, both of the Jasmines (looking at each other, very confused), Lindsay, Mickey and Jay, and Shawn. Dave obsessively cleaned the tables, while B looked on.
'Cuz I wanna be famous
Sierra had Cody in a headlock out of love. Amy had Sammy in one out of hate. Cody and Sammy looked at each other and sighed.
Na na nana na na nana nana na na na na na naaaaah
Rock and Spud air-guitared. Courtney and Gwen looked at each other with raised eyebrows. Then they saw Trent jamming with them. He stopped and smiled sheepishly at the girls.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
Carrie and Devin sat together on the dock, watching Tom, Jen, and Anne Maria compare fashion tips. Then the dock gave out under them, sending them into the water. It turned out Alejandro had been responsible. He grinned evilly at the camera.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous.
Topher cockily smiled at Eva, who decked him in response. Behind them, Scarlett and Max passed through a field of strange blue and pink flowers, and suddenly began making out.
*Whistling*
At the campfire, as the other campers I didn't have time to name looked on excitedly, Noah and Emma looked each other in the eyes...and then Sugar interrupted the moment by appearing between them. Angry, Emma started chasing Sugar around the camp to the amusement of the others, while Noah stared apathetically at the camera.
Choleric
Jo finished her push-ups and went to change into her normal clothes. She picked out one of her hoodies, but was surprised to see a skinny homeschooled boy tumble out from inside it.
"Zeke?! What the frick, man!" Jo shrieked.
Zeke panted. "She's after me, eh!" he said, frightened.
"Who is?"
"Tammy! That crazy viking lady's been after me skin the last three days! She thinks I'm cursed or soomething."
"And you hid in my closet because?" Jo asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Because no one wants to mess with you, eh! You're Jo Hapsburg! The toughest girl in Pahkitew!"
"Well, I AM pretty tough," Jo smirked. "But seriously, scram!"
Zeke obeyed.
Confessional – Jo.
"Wow, that new kid is such a loser," Jo scoffed. "I give him five more challenges until he's out."
Phlegmatic
"ALL. NIGHT," Dave grimaced, huge bags under his eyes. "They were at it ALL. NIGHT."
Geoff and Bridgette were making out. The mysterious flowers from behind the cabin had struck again the previous night, but no one had known this.
"How do they not need to go to the bathroom?" an equally tired Zoey asked.
Suddenly, the flowers' effects wore off, and Geoff and Bridgette snapped back to normal.
"What's up?" Geoff asked his bewildered companions.
"Dude! You and Bridgette were like, in Smooch City for like, fourteen hours for the second time in two days!" Brody exclaimed.
"I THOUGHT I needed to pee," Geoff said. "I'll be right back." He ran off to the good cabin's bathroom. Unusually loud urinating noises could be heard. "Ahhhhh."
Dave practically threw up. "Easy there Dave, just breathe, there we go," Phil said. Dave recovered.
"Campers! Report to Zata Clearing!" Chris announced over the loudspeakers.
As Team Phlegmatic left for the last time as a team, DJ became the first person to notice the mysterious flowers behind the cabin.
"Huh. How long have those flowers been there?" he asked himself. "And why do they smell like wet sand?"
"Why are you here?" Chris asked the kids.
"To make fun of a has-been TV host?" Heather asked.
"To waste your money?" Noah smirked.
"To do this?" Everyone stared as Izzy pulled a rabbit from between her breasts, put it on her head, and danced the Cotton-Eyed Joe.
"Um...no?" Chris said, perplexed. "My question was rhetorical. You're going to have a challenge!"
"I NEVER would have guessed," Eva said sarcastically.
"Me either," Spud said, sincerity in his voice. Eva looked at him, concerned, and took a step away from him.
"First, we will be breaking up into two teams of twenty-seven, and one team of twenty-eight. Cody, Heather, Gwen, Courtney, Sierra, Jasmine T., Eva, Dawn, Beth, Emma, Kitty, Zoey, Tammy, Dakota, Mary, Ellody, Sanders, MacArthur, Katie, Sadie, Laurie, Miles, Ella, Sky, Sugar, Carrie, and Lauren, you are Team Amazon!"
"Wait, why am I on an otherwise all-girls team?" Cody asked.
"Sierra wouldn't stop bugging me about putting you on the same team as her," Chris explained.
"Actually Chris, it IS an all-girls team," Duncan said slyly. Chris chuckled while Cody fumed.
Confessional – Cody.
"I do NOT like Duncan," Cody snapped. "Seriously, what does Courtney see in him?"
"You wouldn't understand!" Courtney shouted from outside the confessional. Cody gulped in fear.
"Tyler, Izzy, Owen, Alejandro, Duncan, Noah, Trent, Topher, Tom, Jen, Crimson, Ennui, Justin, Jo, Anne Maria, B, Beardo, Cameron, Devin, Ryan, Stephanie, Brick, Phil, Mike, Rock, Spud, Dave, and Scott, you are Team Chris is Really, Really, Really, Really Hot!"
Confessional – Ryan.
"Really?" Ryan asked skeptically.
"And the rest of you, you are Team Victory!"
Confessional - Mickey.
"As soon as he called it Team Victory, I knew we were screwed," Mickey said, worried. "Especially because Jay and I are on it. We're bad luck magnets!"
He fell into the toilet. "See what I mean?...Help."
"Don't worry, I got you," Jasmine O. said from outside. She entered the confessional and helped him out of the toilet.
"Thanks."
"You're gonna wanna change your pants."
"Part one of our challenge is a race to Climate Hall!" Chris said, showing the kids a picture of a large building. "This building is in the heart of Wawanakwa Island. It's got state-of-the-art weather-manipulating technology and will allow us to have summer challenges in the winter, or in this case winter challenges in the last few days of summer. But be careful – Chef's going to be dropping ice cubes on you via drones [he showed them a picture of said drones], and you'd best want to avoid them. The team that reaches the hall first wins! But before you do, please go back to your cabins and change into appropriate winter clothing. It's going to get cold in there, and I don't want your parents suing me if you lose a toe."
Geoff looked down at his flip-flop-clad feet. "I'm so glad I brought boots, otherwise these guys would NOT serve me well."
"I agree," Bridgette said, looking at her own feet, as did all the other contestants who were wearing sandals. Which was a large number of the other contestants.
"Envy us, suckers," Josee grinned. She and Jacques were already in winter gear since they wanted to be ice dancers later in life.
Confessional – Josee.
"Jacques and I just LOVE skating," Josee swooned. "If this challenge is what I hope it is, he and I are going to win for sure! Oh, and the rest of our team will too, I guess."
Team Amazon: Cody, Heather, Gwen, Courtney, Sierra, Jasmine T., Eva, Dawn, Beth, Emma, Kitty, Zoey, Tammy, Dakota, Mary, Ellody, Sanders, MacArthur, Katie, Sadie, Laurie, Miles, Ella, Sky, Sugar, Carrie, and Lauren.
Team CIRRRRH: Tyler, Izzy, Owen, Alejandro, Duncan, Noah, Trent, Topher, Tom, Jen, Crimson, Ennui, Justin, Jo, Anne Maria, B, Beardo, Cameron, Devin, Ryan, Stephanie, Brick, Phil, Mike, Rock, Spud, Dave, and Scott. [Hey, another song lyric!]
Team Victory: Harold, Leshawna, DJ, Bridgette, Zeke, Lindsay, Leshaniqua, Jasmine O., Sammy, Amy, Chet, Lorenzo, Junior, Scarlett, Max, Geoff, Brody, Brady, Lightning, Shawn, Rodney, Taylor, Jacques, Josee, Sam, Mickey, and Jay.
One wardrobe shift later
Team CIRRRRH
"Guys! We can so win this! We have a numerical advantage!" Tyler said. Indeed, his team had one more person than the other teams did.
"If you're so sure, then do you have a plan?" Scott, said numerical advantage, asked warily.
"I have a plan!" Brick announced. Everyone looked at him, intrigued. "I worked with this type of drone back in military school, so I know how they work. They may be able to carry a heavy payload, but they're very fragile. Especially the propeller blades."
"If we can throw something heavy at the propellers and break them, we can take out the drones!" Justin realized. "Great idea, Brick!"
"Yeah, everyone listen to Corporal Dampypants," Jo mocked.
"You got a better idea?" Stephanie asked.
"Well, no, but–"
"Then zip it."
Jo's jaw dropped. Everyone else laughed at her surprised expression.
Confessional – Jo.
"If we lose," Jo grumbled, "Miss Mohawk is going first."
Team Amazon
"I should be the leader!" Heather snapped at Gwen.
"You? Don't make me laugh," Gwen snarked, rolling her eyes.
"And you're any better? Oh wait, that's right, you AREN'T! So shut up, Gothy McGothface, and let me lead!"
"Gothy McGothface?" Courtney burst out laughing. "Oh my GOD, Heather, that was so lame!"
"You're supposed to be on MY side. You're in my clique, remember?"
Courtney froze.
"Yeah. Thought so."
"I volunteer Jasmine as leader," Sky said finally.
"Why her?" Heather asked.
Jasmine T. walked over to the Queen Bee, who discovered that the Australian was a good foot and a half taller than her.
"That would be why," Sky said as Heather gulped.
"Alright. We need a good plan for avoiding those bleedin' ice cubes," Jasmine T. started. "Any ideas?"
Cody was about to speak (and Sierra about to listen) when Chris announced "Alright, time's up! Get a move on, campers, before the drones get ya."
"We can strategize on the way!" Lauren said, speaking up for the first time in a while, as the buzzing of propellers filled the air. "Right now we need to run!"
So they did.
Team Victory
"I TOLD YOU WE WERE BAD LUCK MAGNETS!" Mickey shrieked as his team was pelted with ice cubes.
An ice cube fell, bounced off Lorenzo's head (much to Chet's amusement), and slipped into Lindsay's shirt, as she'd forgotten to change into her coat (she had remembered to switch her short skirt for pants, though). Lindsay screamed as the cold of the ice met the warmth of her bosom.
"Move your butt, Samey!" Amy panicked. "We need to get to Climate Hall first!"
"It's a little hard to run in heels!" Sammy replied, also scared. "I told you we should've packed Dad's spare pairs of hiking boots!"
"HE'S NOT OUR DAD!"
"You're stepsiblings too?" Lorenzo asked.
"No, we're twins. Unfortunately..."
"Our mom remarried. Our birth father died when we were little," Sammy explained. "I don't remember how, though."
Amy suddenly remembered a lot of emotional pain, but she put it out of her mind and focused on running.
"I feel you. My dad got cancer and died when I was eleven," Chet sighed.
"And my mom died in a car accident when I was ten," Lorenzo added sadly. He then became angry. "And then Dad remarried and made YOU my stepbrother!"
"I never asked to live with you, doofus! Now stuff it and run, we've got a challenge to win!"
A very taken aback Sammy looked at Amy once the boys had passed them. "They're like us, but dudes!"
"Shut up, Samey."
Team Amazon
"Run faster!" MacArthur barked as a drone fired an ice cube at her back.
"I'm trying, but my seven-league boots aren't working today!" Tammy exclaimed, looking down at some very suspiciously Uggs-like boots covering her feet.
"They never would've! It's physically impossible for normal, everyday boots to make you run that fast! And leagues are an outdated unit of measurement anyway!" Ellody growled.
Confessional – Tammy.
"Ezekiel hath bewitched her," Tammy said quietly.
"I could use some motivational music right about now!" Eva panted. "Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to bring my oPod or my phone onto the island."
"I can sing!" Ella piped up.
"Um...I was looking for something more hardcore than Datknee movie soundtrack," Eva said.
"Something motivational-y," Dakota continued. "Like rock."
"Rock? I've not much experience with that genre, but I'll give it my best." Ella cleared her throat. Background guitars started cuing up.
"Hey, where's that music coming from?" Courtney lampshaded.
Then Ella began singing.
So you want to run fast, do ya?
You want to get past, do ya?
Well, let me tell you that there's only
One way that you can.
So you don't want to be last, do ya?
And you want to have class, do ya?
Well, listen to me girl,
You're gonna do what I say.
(brief instrumental section)
Left foot, right foot, kick it up a notch,
Push your muscles to their limits.
Left turn, right swerve, duck under that branch,
If you really want to win it
You're not always gonna get to take
The path of least resistance
But stick to what I say, dear friend,
And you will have persistence.
(much longer instrumental section)
So you want to run fast, do ya?
You want to get past, do ya?
Well, let me tell you that there's only
One way that you can.
So you don't want to be last, do ya?
And you want to have class, do ya?
Well, listen to me girl,
You're gonna do what I say.
Left foot, right foot, kick it up a notch,
Don't forget, jump over that rock.
Tumble down, get back up, don't stay too long on the ground
Incoming ice cubes at five o'clock!
Trust me, I know, it's sometimes hard,
For your insecurities to diminish.
But you're strong, my friend, and if you believe in yourself...
"...You just might get to finish," Ella ended. Team Amazon was now in first place at the door of the Climate Hall.
"WOW!" Chris exclaimed. "Team Amazon gets an early lead! Will they keep it, though? Find out after these messages."
Do da do da doo. Commercial break!
"Welcome back to Total Drama!" Chris announced to the viewers. "Team Amazon, in full winter clothing and running at 22.4 kmph (that's 14 mph for you American viewers), has gotten to the Climate Hall first, all thanks to Ella's beautiful singing voice." He cried a little. "I'm sorry, it was just too beautiful!"
"Wow, that was amazing, Ella!" Zoey complimented.
Ella blushed. "Oh, it was nothing."
"No, it was really something!" Beth rebuked. "You've got killer pipes in that neck!"
"We've been considering adding a female singer to the Drama Brothers," Cody told her. "I think Harold, Trent, and Justin would really consider you for the spot."
"Awwww, you're all too kind!" Ella smiled.
But one Amazonian didn't agree.
Confessional – Sugar.
"I remember Ella usin' that singin' o' hers to tame the shark in the first challenge," Sugar seethed, "and she used it to win the last one. I intend on winnin' this here pageant, and no chicken-legged, sunshine and rainbows sing-songy pansy is gonna stop me."
Team CIRRRRH
"NOW!" Brick barked. Duncan and Jo aimed their slingshots at the propeller blades of one of three incoming drones and fired rocks at them. The drone spiraled out of control and collided with the others, sending all three into a fiery downward plummet of death.
Chef, who was standing in front of Climate Hall with the remote in his hands, smiled. "Good show, maggots. Way to outthink me."
"Sir yes sir!" Brick saluted.
Eventually, Team Victory, covered in bruises and scratches, caught up. Lindsay had a heating pad sandwiched between her breasts (where she got it, no one knew) and shivered more than the others did.
"Hey, Linds, you forgot your coat," Tyler said. "You can have mine if you like."
"You sure, Tykeith? Won't you get cold in Climax Hill?"
"I'm used to wearing summer-y clothes in cold weather thanks to football," Tyler reassured her as he took it off. "I'll be fine." Lindsay accepted the coat and put it on.
"Hey! Don't help the other team," Jo growled at Tyler.
"I never said anything about sharing winter clothes," Chris clarified.
Confessional – Tyler.
"I think I really made an impression on Lindsay with my kindness to her," Tyler said confidently. Then he frowned. "Assuming she remembers it, that is."
"Speaking of which, here's the reason you'll need them." Chris opened the door to Climate Hall, revealing the inside was full of snow, some of which had been sculpted into three massive, gravity-defying forts. "You're going to have a big old-fashioned snowball fight against the other teams. Last team with members who haven't gotten hit by snow wins. First team to get all its members hit by snowballs OR pieces of their fort faces elimination. Since Team Amazon came here first, they get the advantage of a snowball launcher!"
Chris began to leave Climate Hall. "I'll be back later. Have to catch up with my wife. Chef is in charge until I'm back."
Chef put on a parka and closed the door after Chris was gone, then sat in front of it. "If you're out, stand over here!" he ordered.
"Sir yes sir!" Brick agreed.
The teams went to their respective forts, identified by flags. Team Amazon's had a Venus symbol in pink, Team CIRRRRH's had Chris' face in blue, and Team Victory's had a trophy in dark orange.
Chef blew his whistle. "BEGIN!"
Team Amazon
Team Amazon elected to man and guard the snowball launcher in shifts. The rest of them would protect their fort and occasionally go after people in the other teams.
Suddenly, the chaos began when a snowball rocketed through the air and hit Sadie square in the face. "Fat Girl is out!" Chef barked.
Katie saw Brady and Chet high-fiving. "Excellent range, dude!" Chet said.
"Thanks! I've been working on my pitching skills so I can get on the baseball team," Brady replied.
"You are so dead!" Katie growled, making two snowballs and throwing them at the boys, but they never hit them.
"Ha ha! Missed us!" Chet taunted.
"Oh, did I?" Katie said slyly, wiggling her eyebrows deviously.
It was at that moment one of Team Victory's snow gargoyles, which Katie had knocked loose with her snowballs, fell off the fort and onto the boys.
"Half-shaven Dweeb! Model Boy! You're out!"
Katie smirked, then waved to Sadie. "I avenged you, Sadie!"
"Thanks!"
Confessional – Sadie.
"Katie and I have been BFFFL's – that's Best Female Friends For Life – since second grade," Sadie said. "We would do ANYTHING for each other. Except get bad haircuts," she shuddered.
Lorenzo rolled his eyes. "Leave it to Chet to mess things up," he muttered, then he chucked a snowball at Team CIRRRRH's fort, specifically at Mike's head, though it lost altitude thanks to physics and landed on his shoulder.
The sudden feeling of cold water made Mike gasp, and he suddenly hunched over, dried his lips, and squinted his right eye shut. "Dangnabbit! Stupid no-good coat. You were supposed to keep me warm and dry!" he said, in a voice significantly more withered than his normal one. Then he gasped and went back to normal. "Gah! C'mon, Chester, not now!" he cursed to himself.
"Jitterbug! You're out!"
"Does he ever run out of nicknames?" Eva asked Mary.
Suddenly, both were hit in the chest by snowballs. On the other side of the room, Alejandro high-fived Ryan.
"Angry Girl! Stripey Smart Aleck! You're out!"
"...I guess that's a no?"
Contestants still in:
Team Amazon: Cody, Heather, Gwen, Courtney, Sierra, Jasmine T., Dawn, Beth, Emma, Kitty, Zoey, Tammy, Dakota, Ellody, Sanders, MacArthur, Katie, Laurie, Miles, Ella, Sky, Sugar, Carrie, and Lauren.
Team CIRRRRH: Tyler, Izzy, Owen, Alejandro, Duncan, Noah, Trent, Topher, Tom, Jen, Crimson, Ennui, Justin, Jo, Anne Maria, B, Beardo, Cameron, Devin, Ryan, Stephanie, Brick, Phil, Rock, Spud, Dave, and Scott.
Team Victory: Harold, Leshawna, DJ, Bridgette, Zeke, Lindsay, Leshaniqua, Jasmine O., Sammy, Amy, Lorenzo, Junior, Scarlett, Max, Geoff, Brody, Lightning, Shawn, Rodney, Taylor, Jacques, Josee, Sam, Mickey, and Jay.
Team Amazon
"So what's with the princess getup?" Ellody asked Ella out of curiosity.
"Oh, I've always been a big fan of Datknee movies ever since I was little!" Ella replied perkily. She absentmindedly threw a snowball, which hit Sam in the knee ("Gameboy! You're out! Heh heh, gameboy."). "Plus, like the princesses in those movies, I see the good in everyone."
"Ah. Um...a few days ago, I saw you watch the LARPers cast their bullcrap spells. Why?"
"They asked me to. And I didn't want to hurt their feelings. I know magic isn't actually real, but I didn't want to say that in front of them."
"Fair enough." Ellody threw a snowball at Ennui, which hit him in the arm. He did not react.
"Creepy Boy! You're out!"
Inside the fort, MacArthur was having fun manning the snowball launcher, but her aim left much to be desired. Tammy guarded it from other teams who'd want to steal it, although internally she was preoccupied with something else.
"Okay, my shift's up," MacArthur announced. "Emma, it's your turn. Hey Tammy, you sure you don't want a go at this thing? It's super fun, I'm not gonna lie."
"Oh no, I have...other things to worry about."
"Suit yourself." MacArthur left, Emma took her place at the launcher, and then Tammy left the fort entirely, allowing Courtney to take her place guarding it.
"She'd better not be going after Zeke," Heather groaned, watching Tammy leave.
"Why would she go after him? I've talked to him a little, and he seems alright, if not a bit naive," Carrie asked.
"Leonard is Tammy's boyfriend. They met when they got shoved into the same locker in eighth grade. Tammy thinks Zeke is cursed and ran Leonard off the island."
"Oh. Wait, how did you–"
"Know how they met?" Heather laughed evilly. "Silly, stupid sophomore." She began walking away.
"I'm the one who put them there."
Team CIRRRRH
"Keep those snowballs coming, B!" Brick ordered. B was methodically making a huge stockpile of snowballs that the rest of his team used against the others.
Izzy chose a more direct approach. "One for you [paff], one for you [spliff], one for you [squelch], and one for you [splat]." She'd gone and shoved snowballs down the shirts of Brody, Geoff, Sammy, and Zoey about to strike out Rodney.
"Surf Dummy! Party Boy! Twin Pushover! Hipster Pants! You're out!"
"Hipster Pants?" Zoey raised an eyebrow.
Confessional – Chef.
"I was runnin' outta ideas, alright?"
SPLAT! "Clumsy Boy! You're out!"
Noah watched Tyler leave after one of the snowballs from the launcher nailed him on the foot. "I'm going to go after whoever's manning that thing," he said finally.
"Ooh, ooh, ooh, can you do the Wodeyar Wallop?" Izzy asked excitedly.
"Why should he?" Scott asked.
Noah sighed. "Famous pitcher Samir Wodeyar is my eldest brother."
His team gasped.
"Now you HAVE to do it!" Izzy proclaimed triumphantly.
Noah groaned. "Izzy, you KNOW athletics and I don't mix. Owen, back me up on this."
"They really don't," Owen said honestly, "but actually, I wanna see it too."
Noah facepalmed. "Fine, but you only get one." He took a deep breath, raised a snowball over his head, made a noise, then threw it.
At the same time, Emma aimed at him and fired a snowball at him.
Their eyes briefly met.
Then their snowballs whacked each other in the face, ruining the moment and knocking both onto their butts.
"Uptight! Snarky Boy! You're out!"
Contestants still in:
Team Amazon: Cody, Heather, Gwen, Courtney, Sierra, Jasmine T., Dawn, Beth, Kitty, Tammy, Dakota, Ellody, Sanders, MacArthur, Katie, Laurie, Miles, Ella, Sky, Sugar, Carrie, and Lauren.
Team CIRRRRH: Izzy, Owen, Alejandro, Duncan, Trent, Topher, Tom, Jen, Crimson, Justin, Jo, Anne Maria, B, Beardo, Cameron, Devin, Ryan, Stephanie, Brick, Phil, Rock, Spud, Dave, and Scott.
Team Victory: Harold, Leshawna, DJ, Bridgette, Zeke, Lindsay, Leshaniqua, Jasmine O., Amy, Lorenzo, Junior, Scarlett, Max, Lightning, Shawn, Rodney, Taylor, Jacques, Josee, Sam, Mickey, and Jay.
Team Victory
"I've had some snowball fights with me dad back hoome," Zeke said to Leshawna. "I think I have pretty good aim." He chucked a snowball, but it didn't go very far.
"Your range could use some work, though" Leshawna pointed out.
Harold pulled out a set of nunchakus from his coat pocket and used it to smack a surprisingly hard snowball away from his face. "Alright, who threw that slushball?"
Chef blew his whistle. "Two-minute penalty for Pretty Boy Thinks He's Attractive! Can't throw snowballs for two minutes or your whole team is disqualified. Oh, and Punk, you're out!"
"What? Since when were we not allowed to throw slushballs?" Duncan asked, disappointed.
"Since now. Heh heh heh," Chef chuckled.
Then Chef got hit in the face with a snowball.
"And a two-minute penalty for Strong Girls and Geek Teeth! Bandanna Girl, you're out!"
Confessional – Miles.
"I'm pretty sure whatever that brown goo is that Chef serves us isn't vegan. Or fit for human consumption in general," Miles said simply. "It was a calculated risk, but it made my teammates laugh."
Team Amazon
Indeed it did. MacArthur, Heather, and Kitty took the time to laugh at Chef's misfortune, but then all three got pelted with snowballs courtesy of Geoff and Leshawna. "Bad Cop! Diva Face! Selfie Addict! You're out!"
"These nicknames are undignified," Heather snarked.
"Neither is your ungodly short shirt," Gwen retorted. "I'm going to find Tammy. I think she's going to go after Zeke and jeopardize our team."
Team Victory
"There you are!" Tammy growled, having made it to the Victory Fort and having found Zeke. "Now, which spell should I use to turn you into a toad like you are inside?"
Zeke gulped and began to run away.
"Tammy!" Gwen barked. Tammy turned around and frowned at the goth. "Don't go after him. Miles got us a penalty – even though it was pretty funny to see Chef suffer – and if you violate that, we're disqualified!"
"I'll just use a mind-erasure spell on the cook. Ezekiel shall pay for his curse destroying the magic!" And Tammy began throwing snowballs at him. Luckily, she had the opposite problem he did: she had good range, but bad aim. Zeke quickly dodged them.
Chef blew his whistle. "Thanks to Viking Lady, Team Amazon is disqualified! Team Victory gets the snowball launcher as compensation for having a frightened Prairie Boy!"
"TAMMY!" the entire rest of Team Amazon screamed at her.
"I know, I'm sorry I didn't get Ezekiel."
Her team responded by covering her in snowballs.
"Whoa, what happened here?" Chris asked when he came back. All of Team Amazon stood near Chef, glaring at Tammy. Well, except Ella, who looked more concerned.
"They messed up. Now Victory's got the snowball gun."
Team Victory
"We shouldn't be trusted with this thing!" Mickey gulped as he and Jay were given the snowball launcher.
"Listen to us! We break everything!" Jay added.
"Which means you can break anything," Lorenzo replied curtly. "Use your weakness as a strength. Figure out what thing can you break that would let our team live up to its name."
Jay spied a crack in the snow of Team CIRRRRH's fort. "I see a weak spot! Mickey, aim the launcher at that crack! If we get it, it'll knock down the fort and take out the other team!"
"Sure thing, bro!" Mickey pushed the tube of the launcher and held it steady for his equally skinny brother. Jay fired a single snowball at the crack.
It hit.
And a fort came tumbling to the ground.
"Team I'm Awesome, you're not! Team Victory wins!" Chris called to the dazed remains of Team CIRRRRH.
Team Victory cheered.
"Team Chris is Really, Really, Really, Really Hot, you abided by your penalty and came down second, you're safe! Team Amazon! Meet me at the campfire at eight. You're voting someone out!"
"Um, Chris, is it alright if I abstain from voting?" Ella asked. "I don't want to upset anyone."
"Sure. I have no rule against not voting."
"Kiss-up," Sugar muttered.
Team Victory
"Dude! The way you helped the Adversity Twins? Awesome!" Chet complimented Lorenzo once everyone had reunited with their teams and making their way back to the cabins
"Thanks! I think our win makes up for your failure."
The two fist-bumped. "Maybe we're not such bad teammates after all," Chet said.
"We can try being friends. I mean, what do we have to lose?"
"So much for them being like us, but dudes," Sammy remarked to Amy.
"Again, Samey, shut up."
Sammy looked hurt.
Confessional – Katie.
"I like roleplaying as much as the next girl, but this has got to stop," Katie said, writing TAMMY on a piece of paper.
Confessional – Carrie.
"You're really mean, and I don't like how you treat others," Carrie said, writing HEATHER on a piece of paper.
Confessional – Tammy.
"I suspect the witch may be in cahoots with Ezekiel," Tammy said, writing GWEN on a piece of paper.
Confessional – Sugar.
"Suck it, Ella!" Sugar roared, writing ELLA on a piece of paper.
"Here's how the elimination process works," Chris said. "We use the marshmallow system here. When I call your name, come get one." Team Amazon saw a plate of twenty-seven marshmallows, five of which were colored. "The marshmallows are color-coded to show how many votes you got so we can raise the drama. White means no votes against you, and the recipients are Cody, Courtney, Jasmine, Eva, Dawn, Beth, Emma, Kitty, Zoey, Dakota, Mary, Ellody, Sanders, MacArthur, Katie, Sadie, Laurie, Miles, Sky, Sugar, Carrie, and Lauren."
Once they all had their marshmallows, Chris pointed to, for the first time, two blue marshmallows instead of the usual one. "Blue means you received only one vote against you. We have two such people for a change: Ella and Sierra." Both were confused, but shrugged it off and got their marshmallows anyway. Sugar stopped eating and looked up, marshmallow all over her face, and groaned when she realized no one else had voted for Ella.
"Green means you got more than one vote, but are still safe. Gwen, you have three votes against you."
"Sucks to be you," Heather taunted Gwen as the latter returned with the green marshmallow.
"Bite my pale, freckled rear, Heather," Gwen snarled.
Two warm-colored marshmallows remained. "Orange means you're on the chopping block, but are safe. Red means you're done. Tammy. Heather."
The girls looked at him.
"Tammy, your obsession with ridding the world of Ezekiels got your team kicked out of the challenge. Heather, your reputation as a conniving beotch precedes you immensely, and no one really wants to keep you around. And with seven votes against her...
...
...
...
...
"Heather is still with us!"
"[F word]," Gwen said to herself as Heather got the orange marshmallow. Zoey patted her on the back sympathetically.
"What do you have to say, Tammy?" Chris asked.
"BEWARE THE HOMESCHOOLED BOY!"
"Sure we will," Eva said sarcastically. "NOT! Seriously, since when was the last time Zeke was a threat to anyone?"
Sighing, Tammy left for the dock with the red marshmallow in her hand.
Confessional – Ellody.
"With both LARPers out of the way, I can relax," Ellody smiled. "Although at first I thought Ella was a LARPer as well, it turns out she's just a big fan of Datknee movies and hasn't lost her innocence yet. Ah, I miss those days."
Confessional – Cody.
"Don't tell Sierra, but I was the one who voted for her," Cody revealed. "I only see her as a friend, and I thought some time away from me would be good for her. She's spent so much time fixated on me that she hasn't had the chance to build an identity of her own."
"Three down. Eighty-one to go," Chris said as he stood inside the Climate Hall, which was now free of snow. "Who will get cold hard cash, and who will melt and drip to the Dock of Shame? Find out on
"Total.
"Drama!"
He leaned against the wall, accidentally pressing a button. A massive gust of wind blasted Chris and sent him flying.

Bonus clip:
Alejandro knocked on Duncan's door. "Yeah?" Duncan asked from inside.
"It's me."
"Alejandro? What do you want?"
"I have a proposition for you."
Duncan opened the door and glared at him. "If it's not trashing wherever Chris lives on this island, forget it."
"It isn't, but it may be something you like even better. How about joining my alliance of myself, Devin, and Ryan? Stick with me, and we can get rid of Courtney for good."
"Now you're talking," Duncan grinned. "I'm in."
"Excellent."
