Review time!

Yeezynight14: Thanks! THD's incarnation of Scott is a mix of TDRI and TDAS Scott. A few moments of ineptitude here and there, but still quite calculating when he needs to be. The bonus clips are always fun to do.

Mattafat: Thanks! Junior Kits, Skave, and Dawn-J will continue to grow, even if it's in the Aftermaths and not in the regular series.

"Last time on Total Drama – the world began to feel the force of nature that is this show! [Chris welcoming the contestants to Germany] In our very first Total Drama Field Trip, we went to the German Alps to make some sausage sleds! [Alejandro seeing his team's tiny sausage] Although we did have a few slight mishaps. [Everyone running away from the wolves] Ultimately, the Green Gators got Chef's approval and won an advantage for the second part – boxing gloves and helmets! [Sanders and DJ getting their equipment] The second part involved the Bavarian Slap Dance, which I totally didn't make up, and a little something called electricity. [People getting zapped] Dawn's determination to keep her team alive won the Cyan Sharks the challenge [Dawn's victory] and the Orange Ocelots went to eliminate someone, specifically, Scott. [Beth and Brady agreeing to vote off Scott] But Scott pulled his brains together and rigged the votes [Scott rigging the votes] to send away dancemeister Phil instead. [Phil's elimination]"

Chris stood at the Dock of Shame. "Seventy-six contestants remain. Which team will bring home the bacon and which will slip up? Find out in today's episode of

"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 lustblossoms, 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.

Field Alliance

"Wow, Scott, I didn't know you had it in you," Heather said. Her alliance, which Scott had decided to name "Field", was meeting. "I mean, you told me three days ago, but I STILL don't believe it."

"Yeah, well, I had something to prove," Scott replied.

"I hope it wasn't that we shouldn't have broken up," Courtney muttered.

"What? No! It was to prove I was still a serious threat. Courtney, I know we wanted different things. You wanted someone who had passion, I wanted someone who could understand me."

"I already knew that."

"Heather didn't," Scott defended. "I think."

"Well, you scared your enemies, which is good, but it might make you a bigger target," Heather said finally. "Be careful. The last thing I want is for any of us to get booted before the merge."

Confessional – Heather.

"Not like I don't want the million myself," Heather explained, "but without a strong alliance backing me up, I'm toast."

Red Robins

"Hey Emma, look what I found on the plane," Noah said. Emma saw him pull out an immunity idol.

"Whose is it?"

"Owen's. I'm going to hide this somewhere so no one can bump him off."

"Does he know?"

"No," Noah said. "Owen's terrible with keeping secrets. If he revealed he knew where his idol was, someone else would find it and use it to force him to do their dirty work."

Emma nodded. "You really like him, don't you?"

"He's my best friend. Or at the very least the closest thing I have to one." Noah found a small fir tree and dug a little hole under it, hid the idol there, and then covered it up. "There. Promise you won't tell?"

"My lips are sealed." Noah's attention was then brought to said lips, before he was quickly shaken out of his thoughts.

"Campers! Meet me at the Forked Maple, we're going to do a challenge!" Chris' voice came from the PA system.

The Forked Maple was an old tree with two trunks, hence the name. Since it was too old to keep producing many leaves anymore, a red Canadian maple leaf was spray-painted on the trunk so the campers would know where it was.

"Everyone here? Good," Chris said. "Now, what we're going to do today is a very special obstacle course."

"Another obstacle course?" Gwen raised an eyebrow. "Didn't we just do one two weeks ago?"

"I think he's running out of ideas," Duncan snarked.

Gwen chuckled. "Nice one."

Chris groaned. "Look, we've only got a limited amount of time to do outdoor challenges before winter comes, alright? Now, the course goes like this." As he spoke, he pointed to the various destinations. "First, you must cross these greasy logs, then go on this greasy zipline, through the greasy pipes, across a pit of grease with a few rows of tires in the middle, and finally up and over the greased wall to the finish line."

"Wow, that's...a lot of grease," Bridgette said.

"Yeah, we had a lot left over from Chef's cooking, so I figured, why not put it to good use?"

Speaking of Chef, he came onscreen pulling two cross-looking pigs on leashes. "C'mon, maggots! Move your hooves!"

"Oh yeah, this is a baton-type thing, only instead of batons, we're going to use grease pigs," Chris said.

Sugar squealed. "Now that'sa kinda challenge I like!"

"And the exact kind that I don't," Dave said, grimacing at the dirty pigs.

"Now for teams. Amy, Jasmine T., Max, Scarlett, Rodney, Samey, Topher, Sierra, Geoff, Duncan, Trent, Gwen, Anne Maria, Kitty, Izzy, Junior, Leshawna, Alejandro, Justin, Brick, Crimson, Jay, Cameron, Ryan, Lindsay, Tyler, Jo, Lightning, DJ, Katie, Sadie, Cody, Rock, Harold, Dawn, Taylor, Beth, and Sam. You will be Pimapotew Kinosewak, the Soaring Eagles!"

"Uh, Chris? That's Cree for 'Floating Salmon'," Sky said.

Some of the contestants snickered. Chris rolled his eyes and said, "Everyone else, you're going to be Waneyihtam Maskwak, the Ferocious Tigers!"

"That means 'Confused Bears'. Cree doesn't even HAVE a word for tiger," Sky corrected once more. This made everyone laugh.

Confessional – Chris.

"Blame Chef, he used a cheap online translator," Chris grumbled.

"I thought YOU were the one who came up with the team names," Chef said from outside.

Confessional – Sky.

"As for how I knew what it meant? I'm of Cree descent. I'm a native speaker of the language."

Floating Salmon: Amy, Jasmine T., Max, Scarlett, Rodney, Sammy, Topher, Sierra, Geoff, Duncan, Trent, Gwen, Anne Maria, Kitty, Izzy, Junior, Leshawna, Alejandro, Justin, Brick, Crimson, Jay, Cameron, Ryan, Lindsay, Tyler, Jo, Lightning, DJ, Katie, Sadie, Cody, Rock, Harold, Dawn, Taylor, Beth, and Sam.

Confused Bears: Owen, B, Noah, Ella, Emma, Brady, Lorenzo, Mary, Ennui, Scott, Heather, Devin, Carrie, Stephanie, Miles, Laurie, Lauren, Mike, Eva, Zeke, Sugar, Sanders, MacArthur, Zoey, Jasmine O., Ellody, Shawn, Sky, Mickey, Tom, Jen, Dave, Bridgette, Courtney, Beardo, Jacques, Josee, and Brody.

"Okay, the way this works, you will break into little sub-teams for each piece of the course. There will be five groups of seven, one for each obstacle. The remaining three will wait at the finish line, and once they have their pig must stamp it with the Chris Stamp of Approval." Chris handed Jasmine T. and Shawn each a stamp and inkpad. Her ink was red, and his was brown. "Jasmine T. and Shawn will be your captains. They'll organize the sub-teams and will stamp the pig once it reaches the finish line. Okay, can we give one of the Jasmines a nickname? I'm tired of having to say the last names all the time."

"I went by 'Jazz' in kindergarten," Jasmine O. offered.

"Then from this point, you are Jazz, and just Jasmine is the tall Australian chick. Everybody got that?"

Confessional – Leshawna and Jazz.

"I can live with it," Leshawna said. "S'gonna be easier telling you guys apart now. And Jazz is a good name, I don't know why you haven't been using it."

"I dunno," the newly-rechristened Jazz replied, "but I think it'll be the one good thing to come from this show assuming I don't win. Which I will."

"Oh, you're on, sistah!" Leshawna laughed, playfully swatting her best friend on the shoulder.

"Now, it's time to make your sub-teams!"

Floating Salmon

Jasmine looked at her teammates. "Okay, everyone, listen up. The two people who will be joinin' me at the end are Dawn and Lightning. Dawn might be able to calm the pig while I stamp it. If it tries to escape, Lightning can pin it down."

"Sha-yeah! Lightning's cool with that," Lightning said.

"Rodney, DJ, Geoff, Sierra, Jo, Alejandro, Ryan, you're doing the logs. You're the strongest of us remaining, and that part's going to be the most physical."

"Piece of cake," Jo said, cracking her knuckles.

"Why can't Cody help me with the logs?" Sierra asked. Cody lifted his arms to reveal his lack of musculature. "Ohhh. Don't worry, sweetie, I'll do good without you!"

Confessional – Cody.

"I'm not so sure about that. Last year, I went to Japan for winter break, and when I came back, Sierra had apparently come to the conclusion that Cameron was me and was stalking him." He sighed. "I don't love her, but what am I supposed to do? She's still nice sometimes, and I don't want her hating me..."

"But," Jasmine said, "Cody can do the zipline bit. As can Topher, Katie, Gwen, Junior, Kitty, and Trent. We need people who are lightweight so the line doesn't break."

"I've always wanted to go ziplining," Junior said offhandedly.

"No way! Me too!" Kitty exclaimed. "I guess we're going together, little guy."

"Amy, Lindsay, Harold, Cameron, Jay, Scarlett, Tyler, you're doing the tubes. You're all slim enough to have enough room in the pipes to move easily."

"Can't Samey do it?" Amy asked.

"She has a point, they've got the same body type," Scarlett remarked. "Why not have her instead of someone else?"

"Because I want those two as far apart as possible, alright? Now, Beth, Sam, Brick, Sadie, Duncan, Max, and Izzy. Your centers of mass are on average pretty close to the ground. Making you ideal for the grease pit and tires, because you won't fall down as much."

"But I LIKE falling down," Izzy pouted.

"You can fall down as much as you like once the pig is across." Izzy smiled at this. "The rest of you, you're doing the wall. Any objections?"

"I don't have a problem with it," Duncan shrugged.

"Then it's settled. Go to your positions, everyone!"

Confused Bears

True to its name, the Confused Bears were having problems. Shawn was trying his very best to organize everyone, but no one was listening to his pleas to quiet down. Noah eventually had enough and gave Owen a look. Owen nodded and proceeded to let out an enormous fart that got everyone's attention.

"Zombie Nut has something to say," Noah said pointedly.

"Oh...thanks, Noah," Shawn said, uncertain. "Okay, so I was thinking maybe we should have Brady, Devin, Jacques, Brody, MacArthur, Eva, and Zeke on the logs."

"Zeke?!" Sugar laughed. "What's he gonna do?"

"I've clambered on all sorts of loogs back hoome, eh," Zeke retorted. "And soome o' them were mighty slipp'ry. I can handle that bit."

Shawn continued. "Noah, Stephanie, Emma, Bridgette, Courtney, Carrie, Mickey, you're doing the zipline. Tom, Jen, Heather, Sanders, Ellody, Mary, Lorenzo, you're doing the tubes. Sugar, Ella, Laurie, Miles, Scott, Zoey, Jazz, you're doing the pit. B, Owen, you're with me. Everyone else is doing the wall. Is that okay?"

"Our opinions are meaningless, in the long run," Ennui said monotonously. "They'll all disappear in the void that is time."

"Okay...way to kill the mood, dude," Noah said crossly.

As everyone began to disperse, Noah gave B and Owen a nod. Owen was confused, but B understood. Turning to Shawn, B produced a piece of paper and a pencil and wrote quickly. "What is it, B?" Shawn asked.

B revealed what he'd written. Noah's trying to get all the Misfits together for a mega-alliance. You want in?

"On the one hand, a team is more likely to get destroyed in the zombie apocalypse, but on the other hand, it could help speed up its end...I'll take it."

"Woo! New–" B held a finger to his mouth to shush Owen. "Oh yeah. Woo," Owen said, whispering the last part.

Pretty soon, the sub-teams were all set. Chef dragged the pigs back onscreen. Jo was handed the pig with the red leash, and Eva got the one with the brown leash.

Chris came onscreen holding an orange balloon and a matching pushpin. "When this thing pops, the race starts," Chris explained.

"Whose child's dreams did you kill to get that balloon?" Noah asked.

"Producers wouldn't let me have a gun on the show. Said it was too 'dangerous' or some crap."

Confessional – Noah.

"And yet they allowed the knife-crazy cook, the nuclear waste, Duncan..."

Chris sighed. "I feel like such a dork. No, wait. I feel like such a Doris." Harold's jaw dropped while Duncan cackled with glee. Courtney shot Duncan a disapproving glare, but he didn't notice. Chris brought the pin to the balloon and popped it, beginning the race. And startling the pigs, which was exactly Chris' intention. "Begin!"

As the kids struggled to climb over the greased logs, while also commandeering a very unwilling boar, Jo noticed Zeke on the other set of logs.

Confessional – Jo.

"I gotta hand it to that guy, I thought he'd be out last challenge. But he's still going down."

"Pfft," Jo said. "Look at 'em. They're weak. We're the real competitors here."

"Brains as well as brawn are important here, Jo," Alejandro pointed out.

"Oh yeah? How?"

"If you were smarter, you'd be looking where your hands are going."

It was at that very moment that Jo's left hand came down on a particularly greasy patch, causing her arm to give way under her and send Jo crashing to the ground. "Ow..."

Rodney briefly became mesmerized by Jo's...assets...but when he saw her get up and show her scowling face, he was quickly frightened out of any potential feelings for her.

Confused Bears, Zipline

Emma was talking with Carrie at the artificial cliff where one end of the zipline was. "So, Carrie I was thinking about something. Would you like to join an alliance with me?"

"Uh, sure," Carrie said. "Who else is in it?"

"All the other Misfits are going to be. We're going to prove once and for all that we're better than popular people."

"You seem pretty...convinced."

"I used to be popular, back at my old school. But I discovered that that world was just lies upon lies, so I turned away and never looked back."

Noah heard this from where he was standing, and looked a little confused. Emma...had been one of them?!

"I will have to warn you, though," Emma continued, "Devin's in another alliance."

Carrie gasped and turned to see Devin struggling with the pig. "So we'll have to vote him out?!"

"Not necessarily. Alejandro's the real mastermind of that alliance, so we'd best go for him first. Devin's only following him because he wants independence from the...'Ice Dancers', I want to say?"

"Oh," Carrie said. "That makes sense. They roped him into their group when we were freshmen. I got pushed aside into the Misfits. I guess Devin wants to make his own choices more often, then."

"Well, from what I've heard, Alejandro isn't exactly the right person to teach it."

Devin jogged up, his team's pig's leash in his hand. "Here you go, homie. Best of luck," he said.

Carrie blushed. "Yeah...thanks..."

"Uh, which one of us is taking the pig onto that thing?" Noah, finally deciding to speak up, asked.

Cut to a pile of the zipliners from the Confused Bears lying on the ground, dazed. Their pig sat on top of the pile and snorted indignantly. The Floating Salmon were much more organized and quickly handed off their pig to Tyler, who was promptly dragged off.

"Well, so far this game is a real boar," Chris laughed. "Will the next three legs be more exciting? Find out after these messages."

Do da do da doo. Commercial break!

"And we're back!" Chris said to the viewers. "Our two teams are entering the third leg of our greasy pentathlon, but which will make it through the tubes first?"

Floating Salmon, Grease Tubes

"You guys ready?" Harold asked outside his team's designated tube.

"I think," Tyler, covered in scratches from the pig, replied. "Which one of us is gonna take the pig? After trying to get it over here, I don't want to take it through that tube."

"I can do it, Tyson! How hard can it be?" Lindsay asked cheerfully. The pig got a devious smile and decided he'd make it very, very hard.

"I'll lead the way," Scarlett volunteered. She put on an unusual-looking mesh suit and turned it on, revealing it was studded with small lights.

"Wow, that's awesome!" Harold complimented.

Scarlett shrugged. "It's a pretty basic build, but thank you anyway."

Confused Bears, Grease Tubes

At the same time, the Confused Bears were arguing. "There is no way I'm going in! That grease will mess up my hair!" Heather growled.

"We don't have a choice," Jen retorted. "I don't want to go in there either, but we have to do it for the team! And if you don't get in there, the Salmon are going to get through their tube first."

A scream came from the Salmon's tube. The Bears looked over.

Inside the tube, the pig was kicking against Lindsay. "Eek! Calm down, piggy!"

"Uh, Tyler? Dude, can you move?" Harold asked from behind the Clumsy Jock.

"I'm stuck!" Tyler realized. Not being as skinny as the rest of his team, his broad shoulders had gotten him stuck in a section of the tube.

"I TOLD you we should've used Samey!" Amy, who was at the very back, groaned.

Jen blinked. "Okay then...but still, we need you in the tube."

"Fine," Heather groaned, "but I'm going in first. I am NOT standing downwind of that smelly animal." The pig's eyes widened and pointed a hoof to itself as if to say "Me?"

Ellody was still moping. In fact, she looked sadder than in the previous challenge. Mary patted her shoulder and guided her friend into the tube.

Confessional – Ellody.

Ellody sniffled. "I-I miss him...and I thought I was above these...urges..."

Confessional – Carrie.

"Poor thing," Carrie said sadly. "Maybe we should vote for Ellody just so she can see Chet again. Yeah, I'll bring it up with Noah after the challenge."

Back in the tube, Amy had enough, and impatiently shoved Harold into Tyler. Since the inside of the tube was incredibly slippery from all the grease, a very-well lubricated Tyler shot through, pushing the rest of his sub-team out.

"Gosh," Harold said as he got out of the tube, noticing the scene before him.

Amy shoved him out and he landed on his face. "Get moving! Where's the pig?"

"I got him," Lindsay said weakly. The pig was trapped between her breasts and was suffocating. Brick came over and took the pig from her, then started his sub-team's leg.

Confessional – Brick.

"I felt a little bad for the pig," Brick said, "but being half-conscious sure made our mission a lot easier."

Floating Salmon, Grease Pit

"Rats," Max said on noticing the dazed pig being dragged along. "I needed the pig conscious for my mind-control helmet. Oh well."

"Mind-control helmet?" Sadie asked.

Max produced said device from behind his back. "A second plan if the pig wouldn't cooperate. But seeing what Lindsay did to it, it looks like that won't be a problem." At that moment, the pig regained consciousness and began dragging Brick all over the place. Max facepalmed. "And I'm dumb."

"Aww, I wanna slide around too!" Izzy pouted, bouncing up and down in place.

"Jasmine said we need you here," Sadie said.

"Oh, alright..."

Eventually, the pig slid off the grease pit and into Taylor. "AAAAAH! IT'S ON TOP OF ME!"

"Wimp," Duncan muttered.

"Dude, righteous! Come on little piggy, let's go over this wall! I bet there's some sweet apples or something on the other side," Rock said to the pig. The pig nodded excitedly and followed him to the wall.

Confused Bears, Grease Pit

"Oh no!" Jazz said. "We're not going to make it!"

"Dangnabbit!" Sugar groaned. "This is all Ella's fault!"

"How so?" Ella asked.

"It just is."

"I don't think that's particularly sound logic," Laurie said. "Bleck, this challenge is disgusting. I hope this oil is vegan."

"Don't worry!" Chris called from the finish line. "It's just good old-fashioned canola oil."

Confessional – Chef.

"And peanut oil, olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil, castor oil..." Chef said as he counted off on his fingers.

"Come on! Gimme the pig!" MacArthur barked. Miles quickly handed it off.

Beardo made some oinking noises to the pig. The pig nodded and cooperated.

"What did you say to it?" MacArthur asked, curious.

"I think I told him we didn't want to hurt him," Beardo replied.

"I could've handled it myself without you stupid Misfits in my way," Josee growled. MacArthur glared at her.

It was to no avail. By the time the Confused Bears' pig was over the wall, Dawn had already coaxed the Floating Salmon's pig into letting Jasmine stamp it. "And the Floating Salmon win it!" Chris announced. "Meet me at the campfire at eight, Confused Bears, you're sending someone home!"

"It's over? Aw, man," Shawn groaned.

"Hey Owen!" Izzy called. "Wanna join me in the grease pit?"

"You know it, baby!" Owen ran over as fast as his chubby legs could carry him. Then he and Izzy began frolicking in the grease.

"It's cute," Kitty said as everyone watched the lovers play. "In a weird, twisted sorta way."

"That's Izzy for you," Noah remarked.

Field Alliance

"Who are we voting for?" Courtney asked.

"I kinda want Dave out, 'cuz he's not gonna be helpful," Scott said. "Especially in any challenge involving dirt."

"I'm still ticked at Sugar for abandoning her post back in the VR challenge," Courtney muttered. "What about you, Heather?"

"I think we should target other alliances first," Heather replied. "Sugar and Dave aren't in any last I knew. But I think Ellody's part of one. She wasn't much help during our challenge anyway, so she's a safe bet."

"I don't blame her," Courtney said. "I'd be devastated if Duncan dumped me out of the blue."

"But Chet and Ellody are still dating," Scott pointed out.

"I know that! It's the principle of the thing. But I think Heather's idea is alright, so we'll vote Ellody."

Confessional – Scott.

"Now that I think about it...is Ellody even a real name?"

Guy's Alliance

"Who are you considering to vote out?" Alejandro asked Devin and Brady.

"Sugar," Devin said. "We can get rid of her easily."

"I mean, I'm still mad that Scott rigged the votes last time," Brady muttered, "but a lot more people don't like Sugar."

"Excellent choice, my friends," Alejandro said.

Misfit Alliance

Noah had gathered all the Misfits in the Confused Bears together. "Alright, I think Emma already briefed you all on what our mission is, so I'm going to cut to the chase. We need to vote together as one. That way, whoever we vote for is more likely to go out." Ella raised her hand. "Again, Ella, we know you don't vote. Now, anyone got an idea on who to vote for?"

"The ice nerds are really getting on my nerves," MacArthur growled. "I really want them out. Especially Josee. I hate her."

"We know. Anyone else?"

"We could try Heather," Owen said. He was now shiny from the grease covering him.

"Hm, that's not a bad idea. Anyone else?"

"I think we should vote out Ellody," Carrie said. "She didn't help us, plus...she's still pretty sad. I want her happy again."

"Any other reasons?"

"If Ellody stays, she might go crazy from the heartbreak," Beardo spoke up. "We'd be doing her a favor."

Noah pondered this and nodded. "This might help us get a deal with the Geeks. Okay, everyone got that? Vote for Ellody."

Confessional – MacArthur.

"Pfft, alliance. I'm a lone wolf. I'm going to stick by my vote," MacArthur said, writing JOSEE on a piece of paper.

Confessional – Mike.

"Personally, I'm expecting to go, 'cuz Svetlana didn't want anything to do with the grease, but I'm happy to be a part of something for once," Mike said, writing ELLODY on a piece of paper.

Confessional – Devin.

"Yeah, Sugar's going out, I can feel it," Devin said, writing SUGAR on a piece of paper. "Wait...did I just jinx it?"

Confessional – Sugar.

"I don't like them veggie-eating sissies. They probably wear those ugly cork shoes and think they can clean their guts by eatin' tomatoes," Sugar growled as she wrote ELLA on a piece of paper, "but I'm still voting for Ella, 'cuz Ella thinks she's a princess and she ain't. If anyone here's a princess, it's me."

"Here's how elimination goes," Chris said. "We use the marshmallow system here. When I call your name, come get one. And boy, do we have a lot of marshmallows today." Close shot of thirty-eight marshmallows, eight of which were colored. "The marshmallows are color-coded to show how many votes you got so we can up the drama. White means no votes against you, and the recipients are Owen, B, Noah, Emma, Brady, Lorenzo, Mary, Ennui, Devin, Carrie, Stephanie, Miles, Laurie, Lauren, Mike, Eva, Zeke, Sanders, MacArthur, Leshawna, Jazz, Shawn, Sky, Mickey, Tom, Jen, Dave, Bridgette, Beardo, and Brody."

Once they all had their marshmallows, Chris pointed to the four blue marshmallows. "Blue means you received only one vote against you, and with thirty-eight people on this team, it's only natural that a lot of people have a nemesis. Courtney, Ella, Scott, Josee, please come up."

Josee growled. "As soon as I find out which one of you weaklings voted for me, you're dead." MacArthur did not flinch.

Then Chris pointed to the two green marshmallows. "Green means you got more than one vote, but are still safe. Jacques, two votes. Heather, four votes." Jacques was equally unamused, while Heather just shrugged it off.

Two colored marshmallows were left. "Orange means you're on the chopping block, but are safe. Red means you're gone. Ellody. Sugar."

The two girls looked at him, both nervous.

"Ellody, you're incredibly smart and part of a six-person alliance." Ellody's jaw dropped when she heard Chris reveal that secret. "A pretty big threat. Sugar, the rest of your team sees you as a pretty big nuisance. And with twelve votes against her...

...

...

...

...

"Sugar, against all odds, is still in!"

"Yee-haw! Take that, nerd!"

Ellody sighed. "All I have to ask is...why?"

"You were getting pretty mopey after the dodgeball challenge because Chet left," Beardo explained calmly. "You're a mental threat, sure, but we just wanted you to be gone before your emotions clouded your judgement."

Ellody smiled. "Thanks, Beardo." She walked up to the plate, grabbed the red marshmallow, and left.

Confessional – Mary.

"Unbelievable!" Mary griped, slapping her hands onto her thighs. "Chris outed our alliance! We're going to be picked off quickly now that everyone knows about it. Still, Beardo's right. If Ellody had stayed longer, she might become a little...unhinged."

"Ooh, that seems like a little foreshadowing!" Chris said as he stood at the starting line of the grease pit. "Let's see if something like that does actually happen. Nine down. Seventy-five remain. Who's going to ham it up to the finish and who will get pork chopped outta here? Find out on

"Total.

"Drama!"

A very oily Izzy jumped in front of Chris and dumped a bucket of grease on him. Chris spluttered while trying to spit out the grease as Izzy cackled away.

Bonus clip:

An intern sighed. "Man, out of all the people they pick to clean this up, the one with the bad back's got to do it," she groaned. She was in charge of mopping up the grease and disassembling the obstacles.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw something in the trees move. She turned around, mop readied.

A pink arm of a mutated, tree-dwelling octopus snatched her up and dragged her away.

Then the octopus' arm returned onscreen, still holding the intern. The octopus dunked her head in the grease and pulled her back away.

Needless to say, she was never seen again.
