Review Time!
SpaceZodiac: Thanks! Sorry about accusing you, I was just confused by your wording in your review. Scott in THD is a blend of his selves in TDROTI and TDAS, meaning he mostly follows orders unless he thinks otherwise would be better. As you can see, his All-Stars ineptitude cost him the game. Plus, it's a fix for how he eliminated Dawn in the canon by lying to everyone; here they recognize how OOC rigging a challenge would be for the Moonchild. I'm definitely considering a new cross-alliance deal made by those five; we'll see what happens next. I'm especially happy that I got to tone Eva's temper down so she's more normal and that that's gotten good reception.
StarHeart Specials: And there was much rejoicing. (Dull "Yay."). Who's to say some of them haven't already?...
Gucci Mane LaFlare: *le gasp* Thank you so much! I like my writing style too (it's much better than it was in some of my earliest fanfics). This was exactly the kind of challenge Izzy would love to ruin by being random. And she's only gonna keep going! XD
Doctor Brain: Thanks! Scott's elimination paralleling Dawn's canon knockout was deliberate, because this fanfic is the entire original series compacted into one! Amy was closer to her birth father than Sammy was, so his death was very hard on her; she blames Sammy for it because of involvement I'll get into after Season Two.
Joel Connell: Thanks! I wanted a reason for Chris to get dolphin meat that far from the ocean, so having his interns scavenge a beached one seemed fitting! Plus, it's in line with how he treats his interns. I actually used foodstuffs from multiple episodes in the Brunch of Disgustingness; I recommend checking out the wiki to find out which got adapted. Lindsay's pretty bright when she sets her mind to it, and I liked giving Scott his comeuppance. Your analysis of the symbolism behind Amy quickly losing her idol wasn't what I intended, but I'll take it! That's the joy of fans – they can make connections the author just can't!
And I did read No Honor Among Thieves; though I don't quite appreciate the violence, drug use, and that Izzy got killed off, it's quite well-written.
Geoffry Giraffe: Thanks! Yeah, I wonder why I'm missing a TVTropes page too. I mean, this story has been explicitly stated to be on course for the longest on the site, so...
Lara2244: He is indeed! And here it is!

"Last time on Total Drama – we sewed together a doozy of a challenge! [Stitch in Time] Three teams had to make their own clothes [Heather calling dibs on the golden fabric] to impress the judges [Chris not happy that Lindsay and Chef liked Ella's song] to get points. [Dudley scoring the Cottons] Some were hits [Lauren's amethyst purple outfit], some were misses [Beardo's outfit], and some caught all of us offguard. [Izzy's stirrups] The Powerful Polyesters won the advantage in the race [everyone getting their advantage] to the Mess Hall, where my obstacles tried to slow them down! [Geoff vs. the bees] Surprising everyone, the Curious Cottons [Harold weaving through the mines] won! Not as surprising, Scott tried to throw the challenge [Scott planting the map on Dawn], directly leading to his elimination [Scott's elimination] and Heather's Field Alliance being mowed down to just two.
"We have now reached the one-fourth mark," Chris said as he stood at the Dock of Shame. "Sixty-three contestants remain as we enter our second season. Who will trawl up the prize money, and who will be discharged? Find out here on
"Total.
"Drama!"
Theme song
*Instrumental*
A camera appeared from the snow-covered 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. Jacques laughed at him, but stopped when he saw Leshawna glaring at him.
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine
You guys are on my mind
The camera flew across the snowy island, passing Chris getting pampered by a disgusted Phil, Jo and Eva arm-wrestling, Dave attempting to flirt with Sky, Trent performing a song in front of an approving Ella, Crimson and Ennui staring blankly into space, and Jasmine fighting a mutated anglerfish.
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 few animals still awake during winter. Then Dawn showed up. DJ invited her to join them, while the Vegans glared at her.
I wanna be famous
Heather, Josee, and Taylor battled it out on the frozen lake in a game of hockey. Josee knocked the puck so hard it went flying right into one of B's inventions on the other side of the lake. Bridgette and Geoff watched, then the latter pulled out a card reading "7.5".
*Instrumental*
Owen trudged across the ice covering the river, which quickly broke under his weight. He jumped out of the water shivering. From afar, Sasquatchanakwa rolled his eyes as if to say "lightweight". Then Izzy appeared behind him and knocked him to the ground, before pulling out a camera and taking a picture of her catch.
I want to live close to the sun
Well, pack your bags cause I've already won.
Mike looked into a mirror and smiled at what he saw. His reflection included those of his alternate personalities, who were happily admiring their looks. Then an emo version of Mike, with his hair flipped over his face, suddenly appeared in the back, frightening everyone.
Everything to prove nothing in my way
I'll get there one day
Chef roasted the remains of a mutated rat in the cafeteria over the stove in front of the campers. Ryan and Stephanie looked at each other, then back at Chef with their game faces on. Behind them, Tyler, Lindsay, Zoey, Cameron, Sam, and Lightning mingled.
'Cuz I wanna be famous
Amy attempted to tackle Sammy, but Cody appeared and shoved her aside, before pulling Sammy into a hug. Behind them, Sierra cursed to herself.
Na na nana na na nana nana na na na na na naaaaah
Courtney, Duncan, and Gwen watched Sugar engage in a slap-fight with MacArthur to Sanders' disapproval. Courtney was holding Duncan's hand, but the latter was secretly checking out Gwen.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
Carrie and Devin sat together in the Climate Hall, the one warm part of the island left, when it suddenly began raining, and then the door opened, causing both to get very cold. It turned out Alejandro had been responsible. He grinned evilly at the camera. But he didn't notice Brick spying on him. Brick's eyes narrowed.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous.
Topher chatted with Dakota, who was busy with intern work. Behind them, Scarlett breathed a sigh of relief as she looked behind the good cabin. Because of the colder weather, the lustblossoms were dormant.
*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 Justin interrupted the moment by appearing between them. They gave him immediate death glares, causing him to run off. The couple looked back at the camera with raised eyebrows.
"Before we begin today's challenge, I'd like to say two things," Chris said to the remaining campers. "One, congratulations, your stay is 25% of the way up!"
"That's 75% too low," Cody said, earning some laughs.
"Two, Total Drama has become the highest-rated show on the Drama Network. Thanks to your shenanigans, we've increased our budget multiple times over and have even been nominated for a Gemmy!"
"Bigger budget? Uh-oh, you're going to buy more torture devices with it, aren't you?" Stephanie asked.
"Yes, but you benefit too. Remember when I said you'd be doing this for a million bucks? Not anymore! We got so much money that we didn't know what to do with it all. So we've increased the winnings from one million to five!"
Excited murmurs raced through the crowd.
"Dollars?" Taylor asked. "Because that'd be a sucky win."
"Million dollars, not individual dollars, dumb[a word]," Heather growled.
"Sheesh, what has your panties in a twist?"
"I just lost a third of my alliance, okay?! Excuse me if I'm a little tense because of that!"
"Keep the fire burning," Chris chuckled. "Anyway, I want you to break into your original seven teams." The kids did so. "Now, you know it's getting cold out, right?"
"Well, duh! I couldn't sleep last night it was that cold," Justin groaned.
"I know. My goosebumps had goosebumps, and I thought that was impossible!" Cameron agreed.
Chris ignored them. "So that means it's time for winter sports. One of them was once very popular, but goes underappreciated today: rowing!"
"My arms hurt just thinking about it," Kitty winced.
"So here's what's gonna happen. Your team's captain that I assigned in the very first challenge will take a boat and row from the Dock of Shame to the northernmost tip of the island, and then back again. The rest of your team will be manning their own boat, and it's their job to ensure your win by delaying the other teams."
"But what if your captain's been voted off?" Katie asked.
"Then the person your captain chose will be the rower. In your guys' case that's Brady. Of course, the first order of business will be decorating the boat to earn an advantage."
The interns brought out seven wooden one-person rowboats, one for each team.
"Good luck!"
Red Robins: Owen, B, Noah, Cody, Ella, Izzy, Emma, Kitty, Sierra, and Topher.
Orange Ocelots: Brady, Justin, Katie, Sadie, Lorenzo, Brick, Ennui, and Crimson.
Yellow Yaks: Heather, Lindsay, Taylor, Alejandro, Devin, Carrie, Ryan, Stephanie, Miles, Laurie, and Lauren.
Green Gators: Cameron, Mike, Eva, DJ, Sam, Scarlett, Sugar, Sanders, and MacArthur.
Cyan Sharks: Zoey, Gwen, Leshawna, Trent, Harold, and Dawn.
Blue Beetles: Shawn, Lightning, Jo, Amy, Sammy, Jasmine, Sky, Jay, Tom, Jen, and Dave.
Purple Pigs: Geoff, Bridgette, Courtney, Duncan, Tyler, Beardo, Jacques, and Josee.
Cyan Sharks
"It's so depressing that we're the smallest team here," Zoey groaned.
"I know, girl. We've been cut down by half already!" Leshawna griped. "Still, we gotta pull through. Think there was a rowin' machine over in the gym, so you can go practice on that."
"Good idea. I'll come back later when Chris calls us." Zoey left for the gym.
"Now all we need to do is decorate it," Trent said. "Gwen, you publish for the art magazine back home, so I think this is on you."
Gwen smiled. "You got it. Harold, Dawn, we're the cyan team, so you should find paint in roughly that color. Find some black and white, too, so I can mix up some more shades. I'm gonna need brushes too. And make sure it's waterproof paint, this is a boat after all."
"Can do!" Harold said confidently.
"And I know exactly where the art supplies should be," Dawn added. "You aren't the only one who works on the art magazine, Gwen."
"I know, but you're used to painting smaller stuff."
"That is very true. Do not worry, I will not let you down."
Purple Pigs
"Duncan, I'm leaving you in charge of painting the boat, I gotta practice," Geoff told him, before leaving.
"All right!" Duncan pulled out two cans of black spraypaint and one can of red from his coat pockets. "This is gonna be the most metal boat ever!"
"Metal won't win this," Courtney reminded him. "This is a boat. Whatever we do cannot mess up its shape or it won't go as fast. Also, the advantage will be given based on how much Chris likes it, and punk may not be to his taste."
"Oh, don't start with that! You're not an artist!"
"At least I think about the consumer!"
"Both of you, faire taire!" Jacques snapped, instantly shutting up both. "You are both correct. Duncan has good artistic talent in terms of how intricately he can get his designs. But Courtney is as well, meaning no knife should be taken to the wood. Also, I believe Chris may attempt to put in a loophole where if we don't use our team's color, we may not score so well."
"What could be so cool about purple?" Duncan asked skeptically.
"Originally, the only source of decent purple dye were rare snails," Bridgette said. "And the snails had so little of the chemical it took a lot of them just to make a little dye. If you weren't royal but wore purple, you could die!"
"Okay, now THAT'S pretty sick," Duncan said, pulling out a purple can of spraypaint. "Let's do this!"
Confessional – Courtney.
"Duncan and I have always had arguments like that. But lately the romantic part's been fading and the vitriol's getting worse. I don't know...should I break up with him? I kinda don't want to, because I put a lot of work into this relationship and I don't want it to go to waste."
Red Robins
"I'm not too sure that boat will hold me," Owen said nervously.
"Relax, dude. B can fix that. Right?" Cody asked. B nodded.
"Just focus on getting in gear for the rowing part," Kitty said. "Don't worry, we'll support you however we can."
Green Gators
"You'd better not lose this for us, shrimp," Sugar threatened Cameron.
"Strong words from someone no one on our team likes," Eva retorted.
Orange Ocelots
"I know you guys don't like most bright colors, but would you let us work orange into the design?" Sadie asked Crimson.
Crimson looked at Ennui, who nodded. "I believe we could, if done right," she said.
"Super!"
Yellow Yaks
"I don't feel too good about hurting my friends," Lauren winced.
"That is a sacrifice you may need to make, Lauren," Alejandro said.
"Not...necessarily. I think I should hold off and let you guys do it."
Alejandro sighed.
Confessional – Alejandro.
"Lauren's pacifism does not make her particularly useful in a competitive environment like this," Alejandro explained. "So I think I may need to have her voted off before she becomes too much of a load on my back."
Blue Beetles
"Why can't Lightning be the captain?" Lightning grunted. "Why does he have to sit back and let that weird kid take the lead?"
"Because Chris assigned him to be, that's why," Jasmine replied. "If you can't respect that, take it up with Chris. But I doubt he'd change things up."
"He may, though," Sky pointed out. "Keep in mind this guy can change his mind in the blink of an eye. So the fewer ideas we give him, the better."
"Couldn't say it better myself," Dave agreed.
"And time!" Chris announced. "So let's see what we've come up with. We're going in size order from smallest team to largest, and then alphabetical if two teams are the same size, meaning the Cyan Sharks are up first!"
Gwen had really outdone herself. The boat's livery was a marbled swirl of cyan, teal, and white. The team's logo, a snarling shark, adorned the bow, like all the other logos did. "Not too shabby, CS! I give you nine out of ten. Next up, Orange Ocelots!"
Crimson and Ennui had allowed orange in their otherwise monochrome black and white boat's color scheme, but it was muted and dull. The logo was a roaring ocelot. "Orange with zebra colors, interesting choice. Seven out of ten. Next up, Purple Pigs!"
Their boat was completely black, save for rough red and purple stripes making it look like it'd been in a fight. The logo was a growling boar. "Pretty punk, if I do say so myself. Eight out of ten. Next up, Green Gators!"
Their boat was dark green and countershaded, its underside a light, creamy color. The logo was an alligator, jaws open, painted in a lighter shade of green. "I'm digging the gator vibes. Eight out of ten. Next up, Red Robins!"
Their boat was a flamboyant red color, with a few hints of yellow and orange near the stern. Their logo was a confused-looking robin. "Hmm, a bit mediocre. Six out of ten."
"SIX?!" Emma shouted. "We put so much work into this! We even made it strong enough to hold Owen up!"
"Meh, don't really care. Anyway," he continued, annoying Emma's furious glare, "next up are the Blue Beetles!"
Their boat was a dark shade of blue, presumably to help it camouflage against the water of the lake they were in better. Their logo was a rearing beetle. "Hm, pretty good. Seven out of ten. Last up, we have the Yellow Yaks!"
The last of the boats was butter yellow (which Owen noticed and started salivating over) but overall pretty bland. Their logo was a snorting yak. "A little uninteresting. Seven out of ten."
Confessional – Topher.
"That's weird. Our boat really did have more effort put into its paintjob. So why didn't Chris score it better?" He gasped. "Is it because I forgot to put his face on it?"
"The Cyan Sharks win! Their advantage? This!" He tossed Zoey a harpoon gun. "You can use this to sink an opponent's boat!"
"Chris, that water doesn't look all that warm. Aren't you concerned that we'll freeze to death if we fall in?" Zoey asked.
"I may have, before I got the money to justify it!" Zoey frowned at this. "So who's going to sink or swim? Find out after these messages."
Do da do da doo. Commercial break!
"And we're back!" Chris said to the audience. "Now that I've evaluated everyone's boat, it's time to start the race!" He pulled out his airhorn. "The captains of each team have boats with their own custom paintjob, while the rest just have a regular boat with their team's color painted on it in stripes." Pan to reveal the other boats. "I know, it's super tacky. When I blow my horn, they'll all race off. The captains need to complete the race, and the rest need to keep them afloat." He blew his horn. "Begin!"
The captains, understandably, were the first to paddle away, while the rest of their teams tried to figure out who should do what.
Red Robins
"Okay, Izzy, Sierra, B, you're the strongest on the team, so you three should be the ones rowing," Noah said.
"Izzy can do that! Izzy can take us to VICTORY!" the redhead declared.
"I'm not so sure. I'm really tall, so I might topple the boat if I row too fast," Sierra murmured.
"But don't you want to get to spend three nights in the good cabin with Cody?" Topher asked.
Sierra's eyes lit up. "In that case, hand me my oars!" B handed her a pair of oars and they began paddling away.
"Really dude?" Cody deadpanned.
"Hey, if we win this, the ends will justify the means," Topher shrugged.
"Sierra is never a good justification for anything!"
Green Gators
Mike gasped and Chester took his place. "Alright, whippersnappers, listen up! This isn't going to be anything that you've ever done before. It'll take determination and valor to win today's challenge! So Eva, DJ, MacArthur, and myself will be the ones rowing."
"You? Really?" Eva asked. "Sir, you're not exactly as young as you used to be."
"No, but this body is!" He picked up a set of oars and began powerhousing away. The other rowers were caught offguard by this, but shrugged and rowed as well.
"Huh. I never thought Chester would like rowing so much," Sanders mused.
"Chester likes a lot of old-fashioned things, and rowing was once as popular as football is now," Cameron explained.
"How would someone with no life like you know that about 'im?" Sugar asked, confused.
"Well, Mike's lived with my family since fifth grade. Child services rescued him from his original one."
"Really?" Scarlett was intrigued. "His birth parents were unable to provide?"
"More like unwilling. Mike was the result of a one-night-stand, and his mother and stepfather didn't like being reminded of that. In fact, the nature of their abuse is what prompted the birth of all of Mike's personalities. Well, almost all of them; Mal was something else entirely."
"I see."
Confessional – Scarlett.
Scarlett lifted her glasses and wiped her eyes. "No one should have to go through that. No one."
Cue montage.
Everyone did their best, rowing with the sweeping current of Lake Huron up the height of the island. Though some did better than others.
End montage.
Blue Beetles
Shawn rowed furiously. "C'mon, gotta go faster! I'm only a third done with this race!" he cursed to himself.
"And you're not going to get much further," came a voice. Shawn gulped when he saw the Yellow Yaks' support boat approach his. Alejandro was the one who'd addressed him. "If you don't slow down, we may need to inflict physical harm."
"Nuh-uh! I'm not gonna listen to someone who's done what you did to get this far!" Shawn retorted.
"Perhaps you should. I can ruin you quickly and easily," Alejandro growled.
"I'm a Misfit, you can't ruin what's already at rock bottom!" Shawn rowed a little faster now.
"Have it your way. Fire!" He, Taylor, Miles, and Laurie picked up various rocks they'd stashed at the bottom of the boat and threw them at Shawn, increasing their own speed as they did. But Shawn had extensive training in dodging (so he could escape a zombie horde) and avoided them all. Eventually, he managed to reach the midpoint buoy.
"Hey Shawn!" Owen called from his boat happily.
"Hey Owen!" Shawn ducked and the last of the rocks thrown harmlessly bounced off Owen's body fat before striking Taylor in the face, knocking her down.
Alejandro cursed to himself when he saw this. "That's it! I'm not holding back any more!" He stood up, ready to pounce.
Only to get knocked over by an oar. "Big words for someone with a tiny–" Jasmine began.
"Jasmine! Oh, thank you so much for covering for me!" Shawn exclaimed, cutting her off. "How can I ever repay you?"
"You could win the stupid challenge, that'd be pretty nice!" Jo half-ordered.
"Right, of course." Vigor renewed, he rowed away.
"Wait for me!" Owen cried, frantically trying to follow him.
Yellow Yaks
Heather finally made it to the halfway point. "RAUGH! [D word] those idiots! I can't believe the Pigs knew my chest injury would handicap me." Then she saw her team. "What happened?"
"Some of us didn't quite help," Alejandro said quietly, glaring in Lauren's direction. She was supposed to have thrown rocks as well, but hadn't been able to bring herself to do it.
Confessional – Carrie.
"Poor Lauren. I wouldn't be able to hurt my friends either. I'm glad I decided to row with Devin and Ryan so I didn't have to undermine my alliance."
Confessional – Lauren.
Lauren sniffled. "I-I just can't do this anymore..."
Confessional – Ryan.
Ryan tapped his finger on his chin. "I just can't help but think about what Shawn and Alejandro said back there. Could Al be hiding something from the rest of us? Besides the obvious, I mean."
Purple Pigs, Cyan Sharks
"I really don't want to sink you, but you just keep catching up," Zoey said to Geoff. "What's up with that?"
"I'm a surfer, little dudette!" was the reply. "I know a lot about currents, so even if this half's fighting against it I can beat it!"
Zoey noticed something else. "But you didn't know that you're really, really close to the beach." She fired her harpoon gun, letting the tip sink into the sand, and let go. Geoff got dragged to shore and beached. "Good luck!" she called as she left.
Geoff chuckled. "Man, that was pretty clever!" He shoved his boat back into the water, jumped back in, and took off to regain his lead.
But someone else had gained much more of one. Brady reached the Dock of Shame first. "And the Orange Ocelots win!" Chris announced.
Brady wiped his forehead. "Phew! What a workout!"
"I imagine so. Take five while the other chumps arrive."
"Can I take five too?" Shawn asked as he flopped onto the dock a few seconds after Brady.
"I guess. Blue Beetles in second!"
Confessional – Sky.
"It's not first, but at least I'm safe. Though to be frank, I'd really love a chance to eliminate Amy."
Six minutes, fifty-two seconds later
"Purple Pigs in third place!"
"Yes! Safe!" Courtney punched the air as Geoff pulled in to the Dock of Shame, the boat with the rest of his team not far behind.
"How is that something to celebrate? Third is bronze!" Josee panicked.
"Josee, with all due respect, even I'm not that fussy."
"You're right," Duncan said. "You're worse." Courtney fumed and sulked to herself, while Josee chuckled at the sight.
Confessional – Josee.
"Oh, Courtney, so innocent and young! You don't even realize how much Duncan doesn't love you anymore. But I suppose you'll have to learn that the hard way, and I so look forward to when you do."
Ten minutes, thirteen seconds later
Owen panted as he pulled into the dock. "Wow, I didn't know you'd make it this far," Chris said, astonished.
"Well, B made the boat really good," Owen began, but that was all he could say before he collapsed from exhaustion. Owen snored heavily while Izzy jumped out of the boat and pulled him ashore, not caring about the coldness of the water at all.
Chris rolled his eyes. "Anyway, Red Robins have fourth place!"
Three minutes, seven seconds later
"I hope I'm not late," Zoey groaned.
"Nope, you're just in time! Cyan Sharks take fifth. Meaning you won't be eliminating anyone anytime soon."
"Oh, thank god! I was afraid I'd have to eliminate one of my friends!"
"You and me both!" Cameron agreed as he rowed up next to her.
"Green Gators take sixth! Meaning the Yellow Yaks are dead last."
Nine minutes, twenty-four seconds later
"REALLY dead last," Chris said. Heather finally came to the Dock of Shame.
"Chris, I freaking hate you!" Heather seethed. "Give the person with injured pectorals a challenge that's highly reliant on her arms!"
"Not my intention Heather, but the good news is, you've still got immunity."
"The bad news is, for her at least, she won't tomorrow," Noah pointed out. Heather's eyes shrank when she realized this.
"So you're also safe. Now for our losing, disqualified team. Meet me at the campfire at eight, Yellow Yaks, one of you are getting sunk!"
Chef retrieved the harpoon gun from the beach and went to put it back. But then he saw something in the woods.
It was the giant purple primate Cody and DJ had seen. He was real, and he was there.
Chef grumbled. "Better take this back before Chris gets tempted to use this on 'im."
Confessional – Heather.
"Okay, next challenge I won't have any immunity. But before that happens, I'll take care of someone who just lost theirs." She wrote LINDSAY on a piece of paper.
Confessional – Devin.
"Alejandro wants Lauren out because she was too afraid about hurting anyone to attack," Devin explained, writing LAUREN on a piece of paper. "Says it'd be better for her if she's not in that position."
Confessional – Miles.
"Well, it's the first elimination of the season, and I think it's high time someone goes," Miles said, writing TAYLOR on a piece of paper.
Confessional – Taylor.
"I should be the one getting the limelight! Not her!" She wrote LINDSAY on a piece of paper.
"Here's how we do eliminations," Chris said. "We use the marshmallow system here. When I call your name, come get one." Ten marshmallows, half of them colored. "The marshmallows are color-coded to show how many votes you got to drown you in drama. White means no votes against you, and the recipients are Heather, Devin, Carrie, Stephanie, and Laurie." They all got their marshmallows.
Chris pointed to the two blue marshmallows. "Blue means you received only one vote against you. Alejandro and Miles, you get the first season two blues."
"Ha ha," Miles laughed sardonically.
Next, Chris pointed to the green marshmallow. "Green means you got more than one vote, but are still safe. Lindsay, your immunity is over, so you've gotten your first votes on the show." Lindsay gulped.
Two colored marshmallows were left. "Orange means you're on the chopping block, but are safe. Red means you're outta here. Lauren. Taylor."
Lauren sighed.
"Not the name of a celebrity. Lauren, your shy demeanor means you can't be mean, unlike most of your teammates. Taylor, you're nothing but. With only one more vote...
...
...
...
...
"Looks like Lauren voted for herself, the first such vote in TD history!"
"Wow," Devin said, impressed Alejandro's plan had unexpectedly worked. "You actually voted yourself off?"
"Yeah," Lauren trembled. "I-I'm just not comfortable being here..."
"Don't worry, we won't hold that against you," Ryan said calmly. "We thought you might need a little space. Misfits ain't the only one with your mental health in mind."
Excepting me, of course, Alejandro thought to himself bitterly.
Still, the Misfits were down another potential ally.
El Coalicion de los Hombres was unstoppable.
Confessional – Justin.
Justin sighed. "It's this that's why we broke up. Lauren's better off with someone shy and mild, not outspoken and confident. I hope she finds someone like that back home, who truly knows how she feels."
"How unforeseen! For those of you who are new to this show," Chris said at the Dock of Shame. "Twenty-two down. Sixty-two remain. Who'll motor into eternal glory and who'll sink like the Titanic? Find out on
"Total.
"Drama!"
He turned to leave, but wasn't paying attention to where he was going, and fell into the lake.
"CHEF!"

Bonus clip:
Duncan hadn't been too careful about picking up after himself, so his cans of spraypaint were still around. The giant ape picked up an unused orange can and sprayed it on a tree.
The vibrant color immediately reminded him of something and he fled.
