Happy whatever! And now it's review time!
Lara2244: Thanks! I haven't figured out when the Nemma First Kiss will happen, but it'll DEFINITELY be during this season! As soon as Alejandro's immunity runs out Chris will whip out one of his darkest challenges yet to 'punish' the Misfits for ruining his plans.
GUIPA: Thanks! They're trying to make up for the mistakes they made while raising her. And hey, they're just doing what's right for the kids.
Joel Connell: Thanks! Thanks for reminding me about Suckers Punched, I'd forgotten that I was going to adapt it! (What a year, amirite? Thank goodness Joe Biden got certified as President No. 46, at least HE knows what he's doing.) Suckers Punched will OFFICIALLY be Episode 3-9! Episode 3-8 will feature a similar challenge because Chris isn't very creative. Speaking of which, Chris wasn't fired following that incident because a) the incident happened in the late 2000s and standards about that kind of thing weren't as strict as they are now (at least I THINK that's how it was, considering that I entered the Quaternary in 2015 and not earlier), and b) the guy in question didn't say anything that officially implicated Chris in his reasons for attempting suicide. But Don can make an educated guess about what was going on behind the scenes, so he regards Chris as being the most likely contributor to the guy's poor self-esteem.
FreneticGrape87: Thanks!
Gucci Mane LaFlare: Thanks!
Derrick Lindsey: Thanks! The idols were supposed to be less broken, but Chris "conveniently" forgot about the things that were holding them together in the first place. Not to worry, though, he won't be forgetting them anytime soon! And you got it bang on, Blaineley's beliefs influenced Chris a lot; we'll learn about how he returned the favor in Aftermath IX!
Channel 101 Productions: They were been established as deceased in earlier chapters during the Malevolent One's Arc. Mal killed them during the fight that led to his imprisonment.
Lara2244: She does! But it's been a few months since she found it, so she's completely forgotten that she has it.
War: I tried reading it, but I couldn't get past the terrible formatting. I don't enjoy reading terribly-formatted writing because trying to make sense of what was written distracts me from the content of the work. If you want to write dialogue, MAKE A NEW PARAGRAPH EVERY TIME THE SPEAKER CHANGES!
Thursday, February 1, 2018
"Last time on Total Drama – we disliked Chinese! [Noah refusing to eat a tuna eyeball] We headed off to the Middle Kingdom for the next Total Drama Field Trip. [Chris revealing the challenge] First, we raced along part of the Great Wall of China! [the animals of the Chinese Zodiac coming into view] Sanders slipped, allowing Taylor to net her team the win! [Sanders falling off of her bike] The advantage Taylor won for the Blue Dragons was some soy sauce [Sierra getting the soy sauce] to make the food they'd have to eat [the chicken feet] more palatable! Although...I don't think it really worked all that well. [Sierra's agony over the water chestnut] Anywho, the Black Tortoises lost the challenge [the dead cat causing Harold to forfeit] while the Red Birds managed to last long enough to win! [Geoff being the only one brave enough to take a bite out of a sandfish] Heather lost her temper [Heather punching Cody] and frightened her team into voting Sanders off the show. [Sanders' elimination] Can't say I'll miss her, because I don't."
Chris stood at the Dock of Shame. "Twenty-seven contestants remain. Who's going to become the next Venus and who'll have to drink a pitcher of pure loserdom? 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, but this time Harold jumped clear of it, only to hit his head on a low-hanging branch.
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine
You guys are on my mind
The camera flew across the snowy island, passing Chris looking out at the world from the comfort of his room, Brick trying to learn how to channel another song, Sam playing one of his videogames, Lindsay making a snowman, Crimson and Ennui staring blankly into space, and Shawn running away from a once-again awake Scuba Bear.
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. DJ looked at a drawing of Dawn he'd made for an art class and sighed wistfully.
I wanna be famous
Heather, Josee, and Taylor battled it out on the banks of the frozen lake in a snowball fight. Taylor ended up throwing her snowball at a tree, which dumped snow all over Heather, much to Taylor and Josee's delight.
*Instrumental*
Owen trudged across the ice covering the river, then slipped and faceplanted into the snowbanks. Geoff and Bridgette immediately rushed over to help him up.
I want to live close to the sun
Well, pack your bags cause I've already won.
Jo and Zoey climbed to the top of Bluegrass Hill, where Jo let out a roar that triggered an avalanche beneath them. Jo smiled sheepishly at a confused Zoey.
Everything to prove nothing in my way
I'll get there one day
Chef was making dinner, and Tyler, Sanders, MacArthur, Beardo, and Ella were eying his no-longer-deliberately-bad cooking hungrily.
'Cuz I wanna be famous
Sammy and Cody were making out, and with one of his hands facing backwards Cody accepted a high-five from Sierra.
Na na nana na na nana nana na na na na na naaaaah
Eva, Leshawna, Sky, and Jasmine worked out in the Drama Gym, although Sky was struggling with her weights.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
Alejandro had lit the campfire and was standing behind it ominously. Devin and Carrie, unbeknownst to him, were watching, and Carrie raised an eyebrow at Devin as if to say "See? I told you he was evil."
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous.
Topher chatted with Dakota, who was busy with intern work. Behind them, Scarlett was pushing around a snowblowing machine she'd recently invented.
*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 Jen appeared between them to show off some new designs. Though slightly miffed, Noah and Emma shrugged and struck up a conversation with her.
Team E-Scope
Noah sighed into his copy of Gravity's Rainbow as a dirty bowl of former eggs and toast sat before him. "What's wrong, sweetie?" Emma asked, sitting down on his left side.
"I still feel guilty about...y'know. I mean, I know it wasn't really my fault that Al got rid of them, all, but..."
"Don't beat yourself up over it," Emma countered. "You're still here, and you can still make a difference to all those kids out there who feel like the world's against them."
"Which it probably is."
"Noah, just do me a favor, and...at least try to win the challenge for our team."
"'Our' team?"
"Rumor has it that we're recycling the Halloween teams, so we'll be on the Ghosts again. Together."
Noah closed his book. "Don't worry Emma, I have zero plans on getting eliminated before the merge."
"Alright, campers! Please report to the campfire for today's challenge!" Chris' voice boomed from overhead.
"Well, let's see how accurate those rumors are," Emma quipped.
"Took the words right out of my mouth."
Some time later
"As some of you may know, we're going to be reusing our Halloween teams today," Chris said. "However, today's not the last day of October but the first day of February, which coincidentally happens to be World Snake Day."
"So I take it you're meeting with your marketing department today?" Scarlett snarked, earning a few chuckles for her efforts.
"Ha. So funny I forgot how to laugh. Well, in any case, February's not a month that's known for its foliage, at least not in the Northern Hemisphere. But this is an island of unknown wonders and horrors...like today's challenge!"
Chris produced a photograph of a large, green entity resembling a cartoon carnivorous plant. "Meet Larry! Carnivory has evolved in plants multiple times across multiple lineages, and now we can add the asterids to the list! This bad hermaphrodite awakens during the winter, deep in the forests of Wawanakwa when most of the other plants are all dormant, decreasing the competition that it faces from others."
"So what, we gotta fight it?" Leshawna asked skeptically.
"Indeedy-do! Larry has recently blossomed," and here he showed a picture of a New England aster-looking flower growing from Larry's back, "and I'd like to have a nice Valentine's day gift for Blaineley. So I'm gonna task you guys with getting its flower! There are two parts to this challenge: picking Larry's flower, and then getting it back here without being eaten!"
"This seems really mean," DJ commented. "I mean, I know we don't want a bunch of them growin' everywhere, but taking its only flower before it can go to seed seems pretty cruel."
"Relax, DJ! This flower is just Larry's first flower. It'll be making more flowers tomorrow! The first one's just special is all. Besides, there's only the one plant, it's not like it can reproduce or anything."
Confessional – Scarlett.
"I have studied Larry's genetic makeup before for one of my Advanced Biology assignments," Scarlett explained, "and I have confirmed that, since Larry is pentaploid, they are sterile and therefore cannot produce viable offspring. At least, unless it were to rub something that's made of haploid cells, such as pollen or [sp word], onto its pistils."
Confessional – Geoff.
"This choice of challenge, like, seems pretty harsh," Geoff remarked. "Is Chris punishing us for something?" He gasped. "Does he hate my surfer slang?!"
Confessional – Chris.
Chris growled. "In case you missed the last Aftermath, kiddies, I'm facing legal trouble if I don't undo Alejandro's mass elimination. Apparently he used too many immunity idols and that 'wasn't fair' to the dopes that he kicked off the island." He threw his hands up in the air. "Honestly, Courtney's parents are such killjoys! I can see where she gets it from."
"Oh, and the Grouchy Ghosts won it in the Aftermath, so you guys get an advantage." He handed Brick a tranquilizer gun. "I assume you know how to use one of these?"
"I believe so," Brick remarked.
"Good! Then go out there and get me a flower!"
Vicious Vampires: Sierra, Jacques, Josee, Heather, Jo, Leshawna, Sky, and Taylor.
Magnificent Monsters: Jasmine, Geoff, Alejandro, Jen, Justin, Cody, and Scarlett.
Grouchy Ghosts: Brick, Crimson, DJ, Harold, Sam, Noah, Emma, Ennui, Miles, Zoey, Sugar, and Shawn.
Vicious Vampires
"But what if Larry has two flowers?" Sierra asked as her team walked into one of the many forests on Wawanakwa. Chris hadn't said which one Larry was in; he didn't want things to be too uneventful that day. "What if Chris disqualifies us because we didn't get the right one?"
"Sierra, calm your [t word]s," Jo sighed. "Chris isn't gonna disqualify us if we get the wrong flower. Because guess what? Larry's only got the one today!"
"That's assuming Chris hadn't lied about Larry only having one flower today," Sky pointed out. "Then again, Larry had to have been here for a while or Chris wouldn't know its blooming schedule."
Sierra sighed. "I guess." Jo rolled her eyes and stomped off.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Sky asked. "You're usually not so nervous. You of all people know Chris inside and out better than anyone else here!"
"I do, but...these last few days have me a little worried after Alejandro eliminated so many of us. Especially since Jacques, Josee, Heather, and Taylor are all on the same team. Who knows what evil plan they might pull?"
Sky winced sympathetically. "Yeah, that deal Heather & Alejandro have with the Ice Dancers worries me. Josee's never really liked me that much, I think she sees me as competition. Which is weird, because however good I am at gymnastics, I suck at skating. You'd think I wouldn't, what with how tiny I am and all, but I do."
Meanwhile
At the same time, Heather scowled at the sky. "Stupid plant. How are we gonna find a giant green thing with this many trees on the island?"
"From the picture Chris showed us, I believe it will be in a place with broad-leafed trees," Jacques said as he approached her. "None of those trees behind that plant had leaves."
"Yeah, THAT narrows it down," Heather said sarcastically. "Anyway, who would you vote for if we lose?"
"Sierra has an unfair advantage due to her great knowledge of Chris and her athletic body," Jacques explained. "Josee and I want her gone now."
"Yeah, that's fair. Okay, so that's three votes for Sierra, and we've got eight people on this team, so we need a majority with five for her elimination to be certain."
"Exactly. Jo will be easy to convince, as she believes in fairness and has already expressed her dislike of Topher knowing more about Chris than we do."
Heather nodded. "I remember Alejandro telling me that. Stands to reason that she'd hate Sierra for the same reason. Okay, that's four, so..." Her eyes widened. "Oh no, do not suggest what I think you're going to suggest."
"We have no other option," Josee huffed as she approached them. "It is unreasonable to get Sierra to vote for herself, Leshawna is less likely to vote with you after that stunt you pulled last time, and Sky does not trust you. We need Taylor to vote with us tonight if we're going to eliminate Sierra."
"Can't you convince her?"
Josee laughed. "You're her rival, mon cherie. She wouldn't listen to those above her, by which I mean myself and my lover." She chuckled darkly and turned right. "This way. I believe we should look at the Forked Maple first."
Jacques smirked. "Lead the way." As they left, Heather's face was frozen in fear.
Confessional – Heather.
"Why, Alejandro? Why did you have to make a Final Ten deal with those two?"
Magnificent Monsters
"Man, this is taking forever!" Justin groaned.
"Yeah, it is. Where could Larry be?" Geoff asked. "I mean, it's pertinent that we find our quarry. And stuff."
"Geoff, why are you speaking like that?"
Geoff whimpered. "Because I think Chris is mad at me for winning the last challenge, so I'm tryna' speak better so he gets less mad at me!"
"I don't think it was you, dude," Justin sighed. "I think Chris is just angry that there's not enough opportunities for outdoor challenges."
Geoff calmed down. "Shyeah, you're probably right. We should like, just stick to what we're doin' now. Yo, Cody, where do you think Larry is?"
Cody, who'd been staring at the ground aimlessly, jolted upright. "What? Please don't hurt me!"
"Dude, no one's going to hurt you. And if they are, I'll make sure that they don't." Justin sighed. "Heather really got to you, didn't she?"
Cody nodded frantically. "Ever since I came on this show I thought everybody would be equal in terms of pain and suffering. But now I'm not so sure. Heather's figuring out how to game the system, and when she does it'll be eighth grade all over again."
"Did she use your crush on Gwen against you or something?" Geoff asked.
Cody sighed. "I tried to stand up for Gwen during that whole flame war thing they had, and Heather...she decked me so hard my retainer broke." He licked the space between his two front teeth. "Mom and Dad couldn't get me to the dentist to get a new one fitted for four months, and by the time they did it was too late for me."
"You go to Lilith O'Doherty's clinic, right?" Justin asked.
"Hey, boys? I know this must be right fun and all, but we're heading out to the larch groves," Jasmine said as she approached them. "Since larches shed their leaves too it's possible that Larry might be in there."
"Good call, Jasmine," Cody said. "Let's go."
Confessional – Jasmine.
"I heard their conversation," Jasmine said sadly. "Poor bloke. I may not be able to vote for Alejandro today, but when he loses his immunity he's going out. Assuming he's on my team that day, and now that I've said that I don't think he will be."
Grouchy Ghosts
"Does anybody remember what the trees looked like in that picture?" Zoey asked as they trekked through a particularly dense forest on the northern side of the island.
"I do," Shawn replied. "I think I saw a tree with a purple star on it in the background. It's probably the same place as the balsam fir from the Christmas challenge."
"That reminds me," Harold said. "Chris said that Yule was the one where you put stuff under trees, but I read something more recently that said Yule was just setting a choice log on fire. The tree thing happened in a similar place, but like, a lot later."
"I know, I did a report on Martin Luther a few weeks ago and apparently he was the one who invented it," DJ replied. "Or at least he told everyone about it and that's when more people started doing it."
"Chalk it up to Chris being an idiot and not doing his research right," Noah quipped. "Shawn, if you think that's where we should head, that's where we should go. I trust you to help us find Larry."
"Okie-dokie!"
"Hey!" Sugar griped as Shawn turned on his heel and began leading the team to the balsam fir grove. "How come Noah gets t'be the leadah?"
"I never said I was the leader," Noah retorted. "I just stepped up when I had to because no one else had any idea about what to do."
"Yeah, well, do that again and I'll step on you! Again!" Sugar stormed off after Shawn. "Wait up, Zombeh Boy!"
Confessional – Noah.
"'Again'?" Noah muttered to himself. "That's an odd choice of words. She might've just said that to keep the rhythm of her sentence..."
"Who knows what's on Sugar's mind?" Chris shrugged. "But I can say that Shawn's got the right idea!" He showed a paper map of the island to the camera, with a picture of Larry on the northern side of the island next to a purple star. "Let's see how they fare right after these messages!"
Do da do da doo. Commercial break!
"And we're back!" Chris said to the audience. "The Grouchy Ghosts are nearing their target! But will Larry give up its first flower willingly?"
Grouchy Ghosts
Shawn sniffed the air. "Yep, we're nearing the balsam fir all right."
"And I can see the star from over here," Harold said, being tall enough to see just the topmost tip of the star. "You think Chris left it up there to give us a clue?"
"No, I think he was too lazy to take it down and was hoping one team would fail this challenge," Emma snarked. Harold nodded thoughtfully and they continued looking around.
"My friends," Ennui said suddenly, still monotonously. "I believe we have found the creature." He pointed at a large green mass that was silently swaying in the breeze.
"Good work, guys," Noah said, nodding in approval. "Okay, now we need to find where its flower is and pick it. Since Larry's a plant, it's most likely blind and deaf, but it'll be able to sense us coming, probably with those hairs covering its stem." Indeed, Larry's stem was covered in several small, fine hairs. "We'll have to move quickly and without any sudden movements. Who wants to do it?"
Everybody stepped backwards but Ennui and Crimson. "Must we?" Crimson asked emotionlessly, although one could tell that she was annoyed. "You know our feelings about purple."
"Guys, you're the best ones for the job. Well, not really, but Dawn's not here to offscreen teleport in and out of here," Sam explained.
"Wait a minute," Brick said. "We've got a tranquilizer. Why don't we just tranq Larry and get the flower while it's asleep?"
"Not a good idea," Harold replied. "I don't think that drug will work on a plant."
"Good point," Brick realized. He set the tranq gun down...long enough for Sugar to grab it. "Hey!"
"I'm tired a' this whinin'!" the Pageant Prat snapped. "I wanna end this game NOW!" And she fired.
Exactly as Harold had predicted, the drug did nothing on whatever Larry had for a nervous system. Mostly because Sugar missed the only shot she had and the dart wound up embedded in the ground. But the sudden motion had alerted Larry to a potential meal, and the former aster roused itself, turning around in the direction of the motion it'd sensed with its spider-like sensory hairs.
It opened its mouth, lined with thin, razor-sharp spines and filled with digestive enzymes, and hissed before lunging at Sugar.
Magnificent Monsters
The Magnificent Monsters heard a scream. "I think that was Sugar!" Jen exclaimed. "I think the Grouchy Ghosts found Larry!"
"Then we should head to where they are," Scarlett replied, determination in her voice. "If we can't get the flower, at the very least we'll be safe if we find it."
"I think I can get la flor," Alejandro said suddenly. "Just leave it to me." The team ran off in the direction of the scream.
Confessional – Justin.
"Those five words in that combination, from his mouth, do not bode well for anyone."
The Grouchy Ghosts were busy trying to pry Sugar out of Larry's jaws. While they were occupied, Crimson sighed and simply picked the only one of Larry's flowers that had blossomed. "I have the plant's reproductive organ," she said simply.
"Good!" Brick panted. "Help us rescue Sugar!" Crimson and Ennui exchanged a quick look, but they complied and helped their teammates pry open Larry's jaws. Sugar fell out with an undignified thump! and Larry creaked in pain, deciding that it just wasn't worth it.
"Ya owe meh a new coat!" Sugar cried, staring at the stains created by Larry's internal fluids.
"You owe yourself a new coat, it was your own blunder that did this," Emma retorted. "Just...don't touch anything until we get back."
Confessional – Harold.
"Sugar's gonna touch something now, isn't she?" Harold deadpanned.
The Magnificent Monsters eventually found them. "Are you guys okay?" Geoff asked. "That like, sounded really bad back there."
"Don't worry, we got it under control eventually," Miles replied. "Let's just go back to the cabins, it's been a long day." The two teams began walking back together.
Behind everybody else, Sugar growled. "Lousy team, lousy challenge...what do I gotta do to get that Noah boy offa this island?"
"My friend, I believe I can help," Alejandro said smoothly as he slid over to her. "Has your team acquired the flower?"
"Yeah, Crims'n's got it." She pointed at the goth girl, the flower only loosely tucked into her back pocket. Removing it would be easy. "Why you wanna know?"
"Because my team is not in good standing. We and the Vampires did not find Larry before the flower was picked, and I do not want to go through whatever tiebreaker Chris might have in mind. Were I to take the flower from Crimson, my team would be safe."
"And what's in it fer me?"
"Well, losing the flower might get your team in the losing corner for such an...unfortunate slip-up. Then, all you would need to do is rig the votes against Noah."
Sugar grinned deviously. "Well I'll be! Go right ahead!" Alejandro grinned and slunk over to Crimson before quickly snatching the flower and hiding it inside his coat.
Confessional – Sugar.
"And hey, even if we don't get to 'liminatin', at least Crims'n'll look bad fer not payin' attenshun to her pokkits."
Some time later
"We didn't find the flower, and we've been searching for six HOURS," Heather groaned as the Vicious Vampires reached the cabins.
"Rhyming is so last year, Heather," Taylor mocked.
"Do you have a flower on hand? No, you don't!" Heather saw Jacques and Josee frown at her from afar and frowned right back at them.
The other two teams arrived a little bit later, and Chris and Chef showed up at the same time. "Okay, kids! Did you get my flower?"
"We did," Crimson confirmed monotonously, "although I wish I had not been designated to transport it." She looked in her pocket. "Wait. I don't have it."
"Uh-oh," Brick gulped. "Did we drop it somewhere?"
"Allow me," Alejandro said, removing the flower from his coat and giving it to Chris, much to the shock of everybody else.
"Thanks a bunch, man!" Chris said, quickly depositing the flower into a cheap-looking teal plastic vase that Chef was holding. "Since the Magnificent Monsters got me my flower, they win! As for the Grouchy Ghosts and Vicious Vampires–"
"Chris, wait!" Sierra exclaimed. "First of all, don't you think it's suspicious that Alejandro had the flower? He could've stolen it!"
"I have no way of proving that right now," Chris replied simply. "That's post-production stuff we're talking about here. I won't be doing that until like, nine-thirty at night."
Confessional – Phil.
"That's not how that works. Chris edits incoming footage as it comes, I think he knows but just wants drama."
"But don't you think that the Ghosts should at least get credit for finding Larry?"
"Th' girl's got a point," Chef said. "None of the other maggots found it."
"Good point! In that case, Sierra, your team automatically loses for failing to find Larry OR give me the flower! Meet me at the campfire at eight, Vicious Vampires, it's time to vote someone out!"
Vicious Vampires
"So, Jo, can I assume that you're voting for Sierra?" Josee asked the bigger girl.
"Well, yeah! If she hadn't run her mouth we could've won the tiebreaker!" Jo snarled.
"My thoughts exactly."
Meanwhile
"Taylor, I need you to vote for Sierra tonight," Heather said.
"I was gonna anyway, but why did you ask me?" Taylor asked.
"Because..." Heather sighed; she did not want to say what she was about to say. "I need your help. I might be stuck in a tie tonight, and I might go. Don't you want to see Sierra go more?"
"Yeah, alright. But this is the only time I'm gonna help you."
"Once is all I need."
Confessional – Josee.
"Ah, I do love it when a plan comes together," Josee sighed wistfully as she wrote SIERRA on a piece of paper.
Confessional – Jacques.
"Alejandro's action worries me," Jacques said as he wrote SIERRA on a piece of paper. "His immunity is making him too confident. He may decide that he doesn't need us just like he decided he didn't need Devin."
Confessional – Sierra.
"That was...not one of my best moments," Sierra admitted as she wrote HEATHER on a piece of paper. "I should've known that Chris would've automatically sent the team who gave him nothing to the voting booths. He did that seven times across three of his old shows."
Confessional – Heather.
"I think I just died inside from asking Taylor for help." Heather wrote SIERRA on a piece of paper and groaned into her hands.
"Here's how we do eliminations," Chris said. "We use the marshmallow system here. When I call your name, come get one." A mere two marshmallows were colored. "The marshmallows are color-coded to show how many votes you got to plant the seeds of drama. White means no votes against you, and the recipients are Jacques, Josee, Jo, Leshawna, Sky, and Taylor." The six teens got their marshmallows.
"Blue means you received only one vote against you. Green means you got more than one vote, but are still safe. As you probably noticed, neither are present today." Two marshmallows remained. "Orange means you're on the chopping block, and red means you're done. Heather. Sierra."
Sierra gulped.
"Heather, you dodged elimination last time but you might not dodge it tonight. Sierra, you're the reason your team's even in elimination tonight. With two votes more...
...
...
...
...
"Heather lives! Sorry, Sierra, you're out of the game."
Confessional – Leshawna.
"Great," Leshawna sighed. "I still gotta live with my guilt of voting with Heather last time." She huffed. "How did Heather get Taylor to vote with her? If they figured out how to play nice...that's bad."
"But it'll be a great source of drama!" Chris stood next to Larry. "Fifty-eight down. Twenty-six remain. Who'll find the perfect flower and who'll be weeded out of the pack? Find out on
"Total.
"Drama!"
Suddenly, Larry growled at Chris. "Nice plant...NICE PLANT!" Chris screamed and ran away.

Bonus clip:
"So what were you going to tell me this morning?" Noah asked Emma in the bathroom as they finished washing up together.
"Alejandro thinks his immunity lasts until the merge," Emma explained. "In reality, it'll wear off after another..." [she quickly counted on her taupe-painted fingernails] "...six challenges from today."
"And because of that, he's getting really cocky," Noah finished. "This is good. This is very good. He pulls any more stunts like he did today and he's bound to make everybody mad at him. Even his own allies will tire of his growing ego. If we can get a full vote against him three weeks from now, we should be able to get rid of him for good."
"It's nice to see you back to yourself, honey." Emma kissed his cheek. "See you tomorrow."
"You too." After Emma left, Noah frowned. "But how does Sugar fit into all of this?"
