Episode 18: That's Off the Chain!
"Last time, on Total Drama Island! In a challenge of Hide and Seek, campers had to avoid capture by Chef 'It', or join his guerrilla tactics to tag fellow campers. Some had weak hiding spots, while others won invincibility."
"Meanwhile, the former Bass boys joined forces, and with some bribery, Eva convinced the girls to vote together. And despite Trent and Brick teaming up to turf Scott, the two groups managed to get rid of Brick. Man, that stinks, and so did he."
"Will Eva manage to keep the girls' trust? Will Scott's alliance ever catch on to his dastardly deeds? Will I be stuck hosting reality TV for the rest of my life? Find out, on this episode of Total! Drama! Island!"
(Theme Song)
The episode opened with a shot of a flying disc spinning through the air. It was caught by Izzy as Rodney stood nearby, and the wild child threw it back across the beach; Geoff jumped to grab it out of the air from between Eva and Scott. The camera cut over to Damien and Priya on the docks. The two of them were having a picnic and snacking on various chips, sodas, and sweets, along with some bacon and eggs.
"I can't believe you managed to set all this up," Damien commented, "though I should've noticed something when you asked to borrow my gift basket and you didn't return it."
"My bad," Priya apologized. "I just wanted us to spend time together, and I haven't forgotten how much you like picnics."
"You remembered that?" Damien's eyes widened. "It was just an offhand detail I made, but thanks."
"The bacon and eggs were from Eva's trailer," Priya explained. "She let us girls sleep over there a few days ago, and it's paradise compared to our cabins."
"That's oddly generous of her, but people can surprise you," Damien said. "Also, I know we're both on different alliances, and with you wanting to win-"
"Just ignore that for now and focus on our picnic," Priya shook it off. "We obviously have to focus on the competition, but when there aren't any challenges going on, I'm off the clock."
"You do have a point there," Damien smiled. "Let's finish the food before it gets cold."
Confessional: Damien
"I want to tell Priya how I feel, but a part of me is a bit worried that her parents won't approve of me," Damien admitted. "I'm a cautious worry wart, and Priya's an achieving action girl."
Confessional: Priya
"My parents have always taught me to focus on the prize first so that I'll be successful in the future," Priya quoted, "but they've never once said anything about love, and with us merging, I can show Damien how I feel about him."
Confessionals End
The scene moved over to the woods, where Sky and Trent were standing next to a tree. Sky was currently observing the knife Trent showed her. "So if you and Brick had evidence of Scott's actions, why not show it to me or the other contestants?" she asked.
"We wanted to, but Scott won immunity that day, and it'd be hard to convince his alliance members to turn against him," Trent justified.
"Heads up, me and the girls are itching to vote Scott out just like you, but we have to do it when he's not protected by invincibility," Sky said.
"Why did you guys choose to turf Brick instead of one of the alliance members?" Trent asked.
"He was the most physical guy, and the others had less on them," Sky answered. "If I knew you two were working together, I'd have convinced the girls to vote for someone else."
"I should've warned you, but I thought the guys would vote for one of you girls," Trent owned up. "My bad."
Sky gave the knife back to Trent. "Remember to tell Scott's alliance about that dirt boy. He cannot be trusted!"
The loudspeaker squealed, forcing the two to hold their ears in pain as Chris began to speak. "Morning, campers! Your next challenge awaits you at the Arts and Crafts Center!"
A flash transitioned the scene to a shack, Chris's all-terrain vehicle parked in front of it as the host himself walked across the shot. "Welcome to the Arts and Crafts Center!" he told the campers already assembled around a nearby picnic table.
"More like the Arts and Crap Center," Scott muttered.
"Yeah," Chris told them. "It used to be an outhouse, but now it's where Chef parks his road hog." The point-of-view moved to the other side of the door as Chris kicked it open and some of the contestants poked their heads in and commented at what was within out of excitement; a red-and-chrome motorcycle.
"Which brings us to your challenge," Chris told them as the camera cut back outside and panned across the campers. "Building, your own wheels!"
"And by 'wheels'," Rodney asked, "what do you mean?"
"Glad you asked!" Chris smiled. "You'll find all the parts you need in our bike depot." He motioned to a large pile of disassembled bicycle parts. "Once you've collected the basics, you can trick 'em out any way you want using props from the Arts and Crafts Center." He put on a military-style helmet and got back on his ATV.
"The best design wins!" he told them, driving just past their table before pausing. "And! To prove I'm a nice guy," he took out a large, mold-covered book and tossed it at them before driving off, "I'm even throwing in a bike manual."
"It's so dirty!" Damien cried out, having caught the manual before throwing it away.
Izzy then caught the manual. "Cool! Mold spores!"
Confessional: Geoff
"This challenge is something I can rock out," Geoff confessed. "I've always been a big fan of riding bikes when I was young, and even though I've never built one from scratch, Chris was generous enough to give us a manual."
Confessional Ends
Priya joined Eva and Sky at the bike depot, and began to fish through the heap for parts. "I'm going to make my own dream bike," she said as Rodney came up behind her.
"I've ridden a bike before, but due to my family's farm conditions, I never got to own one as a child," Rodney said sadly before walking away.
Sky and Priya donned faces of sympathy. "I really feel sorry for him," Sky said. "I mean, who else didn't have a bike?"
Eva pulled the girls to the side. "In case you haven't noticed," she hissed, "this isn't a pity party. If us girls are gonna win this, we need to build better bikes than the guys. Got that?"
"Don't worry," Sky got out of Eva's hold. "It's not like I want to lose on purpose, unlike a certain someone."
Confessional: Sky
"After the last elimination ceremony, I'm beginning to doubt Eva less," Sky said with her foot on the toilet seat. "The person we wanted gone actually left, and she kept her word about letting us sleep in her trailer, but that doesn't mean I'm not on guard."
Confessional Ends
Rodney was shown sitting at the picnic table alone as he read through the manual. "Need any help?" Trent asked as he sat down next to him. "I own a motorcycle back home, so I know my way around mechanics."
"I can't understand any of this, so I could use a little assistance," Rodney said, "but are you sure you're not doing this just for an alliance?"
"Of course not, but I do have to tip you off about Scott," Trent told him. "He's not entirely trustworthy."
"Pardon?" Rodney grew confused.
"Remember the notes given to us that day?" Trent asked the country boy. "The one that said I was a dull musician? Scott was the one who wrote them, not Millie."
"How are you so sure about that?" Rodney asked.
"Me and Brick found Scott's knife, and we noticed the paint from my guitar strings on it, therefore confirming that he's responsible for cutting them," Trent explained.
"But why would Scott cut up your guitar strings?" Rodney wondered.
"He did it so that my team would lose and Justin could be eliminated after he was framed," Trent said. "He's been sabotaging my team and even his own just to pick us off one by one."
"I want to believe you, but I'll need more than that," Rodney said.
"Scott also pinned the cursed doll on Jasmine by the way," Trent added.
This piece of information caused Rodney to gasp at first, only to then scowl. "I believe you, and even though he's in my alliance, I will vote him off first chance I get."
"I appreciate your support," Trent smiled. "Now let's get started with our bikes."
Confessional: Rodney
"Even though I have no chance with Jasmine, she is my friend, and if Scott's willing to hurt my friends like that, then I don't want to be affiliated with him," Rodney declared.
Confessional Ends
The scene cut over to the other three guys working on their bikes in the common area. Scott pounded on a dark orange frame he'd picked out with a hammer; Damien tightened the straps holding his body protecting gear in place; and Geoff inflated a tire, but he pushed too hard and too fast, causing the tire to pop.
Another cut took the focus over to the girls, who had ended up working together away from the boys. Sky was attaching a pedal to her brown metal frame; Eva was boring holes into pieces of wood with a hand drill; and Priya was sorting through a small but tangled pile of parts for pieces.
"Woohoo!" Izzy's cheer earned the three girls' attention, and the shot switched over to her sitting on a wooden bike. "Hey girls! I've already built my bike!
"How did you do that so fast?" Eva asked.
"Oh, my brother was a mechanic before he got run over and developed a fear of motor vehicles," Izzy explained. "Come on! Let's take it for a test drive!"
"How about we DON'T do that!" Sky shot her down.
This caused Izzy to pout. "Awww, why not?"
"Your bike could fall apart and drift us away from the challenge," Priya reasonably said.
"But I made sure to tighten it, guys," Izzy said.
"We know you did, but something could go haywire, and Chris would likely disqualify you from immunity if that happens," Sky claimed.
"Alright! I'll stay with you," Izzy got off her bike. "If you do need any help, just let me know."
"Glad you understand," Priya said after pulling out a bicycle seat.
Confessional: Eva
"I don't want to be killed going on this "test drive"," Eva said. "Keeping an eye on Izzy is exhausting."
Confessional Ends
"And…that's it!" Trent said, dropping the wrench he'd been turning and leaning up. The camera zoomed out, showing him sitting next to a sturdy white bicycle as Rodney looked on. "It should be finished, so I'll get started on my own bicycle while you go get decorations for your own if you want them."
"I appreciate your help," Rodney expressed his gratitude. "I better go back to my alliance."
"Happy to help!" Trent told him, "but don't forget about what I told you."
Confessional: Rodney
"I'm on good terms with Damien and Geoff, so it's gonna be hard leaving them," Rodney said in the outhouse, "but hopefully they'll catch on to Scott's actions as well."
Confessional Ends
The static cut to the other boys working on their bicycles and putting decorations on them. "Hey guys, do you know where Rodney is?" Geoff was the first one to notice.
"He's probably still reading that manual," Scott sniffed. "Does he seriously not know how simple bike building is?"
"Not everyone is as adept in constructing as you are, Scott," Damien mumbled.
"What was that, Mr. Safety?" Scott glared.
"It was nothing," Damien replied back.
Geoff broke up the argument. "So do you guys remember your first bike ride?"
"You better believe it," Scott piped up. "The first time I rode a bike, I wiped out and destroyed my arm. Had to wear a sling for a month."
"I went so fast, I slammed into a wall and twisted my foot," Damien winced, but laughed. "It stayed sideways for a while and I kept falling over as a result."
"That's nothing," Geoff countered. "I flew so far over my handlebars that I skid for a mile. Skin was hanging off me in chunks!"
The three boys sighed in nostalgia and went back to work, only to be met with Rodney arriving at them with his bike that had deer antlers attached to the handlebars. "Oh there you are," Scott said. "I never expected you to finish your bike so soon."
"It's because Trent helped me with it," Rodney said. "He's a pretty good mechanic."
"Trent is one of our enemies?" Scott complained. "Why trust him?"
"He's not a bad person, and to be honest, he's more trustworthy than some of the people I know here," Rodney told the devious farmer, much to his and the other boys' confusion.
It was then that the loudspeaker came on with a ring. "Campers!" Chris announced. "Time to judge your bikes! Put your pedal to the metal, and meet me at the Crafts Center!"
"Well campers," Chris said as he observed the bikes, "we gave you the parts, let's see what you came up with!" He walked over to Priya, who had built a thin, streamlined bike. "Excellent aerodynamics, Priya!" the host told her.
"Thank you," Priya said happily.
"That's nothing compared to my bike," Scott said as the camera panned over to his vehicle. It was shaped similarly to Priya's, but was orange and had a small wolf-head hood ornament.
"Looks pretty fierce," Chris complimented, earning a smug smile from the dirt boy.
The scene flashed to a trio of blinking headlights, the camera pulling back to show Damien next to them as Chris watched him and his otherwise typical bicycle, though it had an extra wheel on the back. "You'll need headlights if you're riding your bike at night."
"If you say so," Chris told him uncertainly before moving on.
Sky was next, standing next to a tall, thick bike. "This bike weighs more than my body," she explained while leaning on the skull hood ornament. "Impressive, right?"
Another flash and the host was standing over Eva's short, but metallic bike with dumbbells drawn onto them. "It's short, but it'll get the job done," he told her before it left for the next competitor.
Chris looked over Rodney's bike and poked the deer antlers. "Not a terrible bike if I do say so myself!" the host gave him an accepting nod.
"Now this is a hot rod! Nice!" Chris said in the next clip, admiring Geoff's vehicle; a bike with thin branches as the main support.
"Booyah!" Geoff cheered. "I can't wait to race the other bicycles!"
"Feast your eyes on the Izzymobile!" Izzy boasted as she showed off her bicycle, the only change being that it was now spray painted green.
"Impressive," Chris said and continued on.
The host was now looking at Trent's bike; similar to Rodney's, but colored silver and the size was medium. It also had flags on both sides with sketches of a guitar on them. "Trent, nice job!" Chris told him, shooting the young man a pair of finger pistols and receiving a pair in return. "Well then, I think that's everyone!"
The nine campers and their bikes were shown again as Chris walked into the middle of the clearing they occupied. "This is where it gets good," he announced, "'cause we're gonna race these babies! Hard!"
"I can't wait," Sky smiled. "My bicycle is big enough to run over the others, but I don't intend on doing that."
"Yeah, unfortunately," Chris told her, "you won't be riding it, Sky. You'll be switching bikes!" The camera passed over the shocked looks on their faces. "Yeah, cruel twist, huh? Alrighty then! See you at the beach!".
(Commercial Break)
The scene faded back in to a shot of the giant cliff and lake, and a loon could be heard as the camera zoomed in on the beach. Chris was sitting on his ATV addressing the campers, while Chef stood behind the nearby starting line reading a book and holding a tiny flag in his other hand.
"Okay," Chris said, "here's how it works. Everyone picks a name out of the helmet," he held up an upside-down orange bike helmet for them to see, "to see whose bike you're riding." Trent picked a slip of paper out first, followed shortly by Geoff. "If your bike makes it across the finish line, then you get to ride it in the final round for invincibility!"
The camera panned over the nine campers looking at their slips of paper, eventually stopping on Izzy and Priya. "It looks like I'll be riding Damien's bike," Izzy notified the reality TV fan, much to her worry.
"Make sure you're safe with it," Priya begged. "Who's got your vehicle?"
"I looked over, and it's Rodney," Izzy answered. "He's big, but his weight will definitely help with his speed."
A pan showed the campers on their new bikes – Izzy on Damien's bike, Damien on Eva's bike, Eva on Geoff's bike, Geoff on Priya's bike, Priya on Scott's bike, Scott on Sky's bike, Sky on Trent's bike, Trent on Rodney's bike, and Rodney on Izzy's bike.
"Okay racers!" Chris announced as the teens steeled themselves. "On your marks!" Sky narrowed her eyes. "Get set!" Izzy readied a pedal and Trent donned a confident smirk. "Paramedics on standby...," the host murmured with a look over his shoulder and one arm raised as a flag, "aaaand, DRAG!" He threw down his arm and the campers sped past him as hectic and fast-paced music began – Geoff, Sky, Trent, Rodney, Eva, Priya, and Damien.
"I have a problem here," Scott whined, earning the attention of the host. "How do I move this thing?" He kept trying to place his feet where the pedals would have been, ignoring the skull ornament Sky had installed.
Izzy was also having difficulties, as the two rear wheels Damien had installed on his bike refused to budge. "A third wheel? Lame," she muttered as she dismounted and started to pry at the extra piece.
Further ahead, Trent and Priya were vying for the lead with Rodney not too far behind.
"How are you managing to keep up with me?" Priya asked Trent.
"This isn't a motorcycle, but I can still utilize the bike like one," Trent shot back.
"Sorry guys," Rodney told them as he passed by, "but I have a race to win!" He cheered as he moved faster.
Further back, Damien was having trouble seeing due to being so low to the ground. The problem increased when Sky passed him and kicked up sand in his wake, and the nervous wreck began to cough.
Eva was managing well on her own and was getting the hang of riding Geoff's bicycle. "Wailing ride, huh?" She turned around and saw Geoff catching up. "I used top of the line bolts!"
Confessional: Geoff
"I gotta give thanks to Damien for reminding me to NOT forget about the bolts, otherwise things would've turned out bad," Geoff shouted out.
Confessional Ends
Izzy, meanwhile, had managed to bend the third wheel of Damien's bike upwards and had taken off at full speed. She barreled past Eva and Geoff without a second thought, and while Eva kept it together, Geoff swerved and hit a rock, causing him to fall off his bike. Damien was barely missed, but Izzy ended up in the same cloud of sand that Sky had unintentionally been making, and soon caught her up. Unable to see where she was going, Izzy rammed Sky from behind and got the two bikes tangled up and out of the race.
The sand cloud finally began to clear, but not quickly enough to prevent Damien from joining the pile-up while Eva moved past them and speeded up.
Back at the start, Scott was looking at his bicycle until he saw the skull ornament. He pulled it once, and was relieved when he heard the sounds of a motor starting. The bike took off like a shot, and all the devious farmer could do was hang on. He quickly passed the two wreckage sites and the others still in the race, blowing past the finish line and leaving Chef buried in sand.
A shot of the island showed a cloud of sand and dust roaring along the beach around the island before cutting back to the finish line as Trent, Priya, Rodney, and Eva crossed. Chef stuck his arm out of the sand and waved his flag, then Chris came rolling up on his ATV, a smile on his face. "Ye-he-hes!" he said excitedly. "We have four awesome wipe-outs by Izzy, Damien, Sky, and Geoff!"
"Five invincibility race winners! Scott's 'Hot Shot'," Rodney's 'Antler Life,' The bikes and their initial riders were shown as they were named. "Izzy's 'Izzymobile', Geoff's 'Free Spirit', and Sky's 'Motor Skull'!" As the final winner was announced, Scott's terrified screams alerted the others as he rapidly began his second approach of the finish line.
"How do I stop this thing?!" Scott yelled.
"Slam the hood!" Eva shouted out.
Scott did as he was told, bringing the bike to a stop and sending him hurtling through the air until he collided into Chef, who had just gotten out of the sand.
"Awesome finish, Scott!" Chris cheered. "It's time to head over to the TDI Motocross," he informed the campers before speeding off on his own vehicle.
Confessional: Scott
"If I'd known how to start Sky's vehicle from the start, I would've crashed it and had her be put up for elimination without any invincibility," Scott grumbled.
Confessional Ends
Scott came over to Rodney. "Okay, so Damien's out of the running for invincibility, which just leaves us and Geoff against Izzy and Sky," he stated.
"You can deal with Izzy and Sky yourself, Scott. I'm done," Rodney said angrily.
"Wait, what?" Scott wondered.
"Trent already told me everything about you, and I don't want to work with someone who's willing to cheat just to get his way," Rodney scolded and walked away as Scott scowled at him.
Confessional: Scott
"You just made a mistake betraying me, Rodney," Scott told the camera. "It's time your comeback to the show comes to an end!"
Confessional Ends
The scene cut to the four losers sitting on the grass above the beach. With the exception of Eva, they all looked content. The camera panned down to the five still in the competition, already on their own bikes – Scott, Rodney, Izzy, Geoff, and Sky.
"I like your bike," Geoff told the girl on his right.
"Right back at ya!" Izzy complimented back.
It was then that Chris finally drove up to the new starting line. "Campers! Welcome to the," radical music, a reverb effect, and a three-way split screen focused on his mouth accompanied his next announcement, "Moto-moto-moto! Cross-cross-cross! Challenge-challenge-challenge!" The effects ended and the shot went back to the host on his ATV. "Using your own bikes, you'll race the course, avoiding hidden pitfalls!" He turned his head and called off-screen, "Cue the deathtraps!"
"There's dodging the landmines!" The shot cut to a rolling dirt course, panning left as several explosions were triggered. "Maneuvering through the oil slick!" Another leftward pan showed a long oil spill on the ground. "And finally, jumping the piranhas!" The third obstacle was a rectangular pool of water in the ground, over which a cooked ham had been suspended by a rope. It was plunged into the pool, the surface bubbled briefly, and the rope was retracted sans ham.
"Oh," Chris said as the camera moved back to the shocked racers, "and one more thing! Since I expect a few people to wipe out, the rules for this are if you cross the finish line, you win invincibility," he said nonchalantly. "Wipe out, and you're out of the running."
Confessional: Geoff
"I expected the rules to be a bit unfair," Geoff said in the confessional, "but this is surprisingly reasonable." He gave a confident grin. "Time to win that race!"
Confessional: Sky
"My bike is the fastest out of everybody's thanks to that motor," Sky said in her turn in the outhouse. "All I have to do is avoid those obstacles and I'll win my second immunity in a row."
Confessionals End
"Racers," Chris announced after the static, "take your position!" The camera quickly panned over the five campers readying themselves and their bikes. "Aaaaand, GO!" As with the first race, fast and tense music began almost immediately.
The camera moved to ground-level, catching the five sets of wheels as they sped forward – first Sky, then Izzy, Scott, Geoff, and Rodney taking up the rear. They went over the first hill one by one, but as Rodney crested, he was caught in an explosion which sent both him and his vehicle flying off the course. Chef managed to duck as the country boy hurtled past him.
The remaining four went over a second hill, a second explosion producing a cloud of smoke for them to pass through but not actually catching them in the blast. The point-of-view moved to an incoming view of the track as the three in the lead bounced up and down, dodging explosions from the sides and behind. Bringing them up was Geoff, who was the second to get caught up in a blast – fortunately for him, the timing and position was such that it sent him flying forward in an arc over the others, screaming all the way.
The shot cut to Sky as she approached the second obstacle; she became nervous upon hearing a sputtering sound from the engine of her bike. It stalled completely just as the wheels touched the oil, and was sent spinning off the course as Scott and Izzy raced past.
Izzy and Scott were neck-and-neck, but the oil was giving them both some trouble. Scott was quick enough to slow down before he lost control, but in doing so allowed Izzy to pull ahead. It was short-lived, however, because although she slammed her own brakes and began to skid across the pool, an errant piranha leaping into the air managed to knock her and her bicycle off-balance and into the water. Scott grinned as he passed the girl coming out of the water again, but was shocked when Geoff bounced off the fallen bike and managed to gain a slight lead.
Scott grew upset at this, and he pedaled his bicycle faster and faster, but it was too late as Geoff skid to an early stop, and seconds later, Chef was waving him across the finish line. "And we have our winner!" Chris announced as he pulled up on his own ride. "Geoff!" Triumphant music accompanied a pan upwards from the positive young man's bike and legs to his smiling face.
"I did it! Bike racing rules!" Geoff whooped and cheered.
Up off the beach, Damien, Priya, and Trent all cheered for the party boy, while Eva nodded in respect.
Scott was shown riding his own bike across the finish line and stopped next to Geoff. "Sorry you didn't win first place, but we both got immunity," Geoff said.
"As long as nobody can vote for me, I'm fine with silver," Scott said. "And speaking of our vote, there's something I must tell you." He leaned into Geoff's ear and whispered something that the audience couldn't hear.
Confessional: Damien
"Rodney seriously left the alliance?!" Damien asked incredulously. "Is he trying to win the game at this point?! Apparently, Trent and Rodney think Scott cut up Trent's guitar strings but… we already knew that was Justin."
Confessional Ends
The scene cut to the elimination ceremony. The nine campers were all gathered at the bonfire, and Chris stood in front of them with eight marshmallows on his plate.
"Now normally, I would let you all go into the outhouse and cast your votes, but I'm gonna do something different today!" Chris said. "Before the elimination ceremony, I talked to the winner of today's challenge and asked him who he wanted gone tonight."
"But both Geoff and Scott won immunity today," Izzy pointed out.
"I know that, so I bottled it down to who didn't crash once today," Chris said dramatically, "and since Geoff wiped out in the first part, today's eliminated contestant has been determined by…," the host paused in order to see the contestants' nervous faces. "Scott!"
Everyone but the aforementioned contestant gasped at the revelation. "I didn't expect this to happen, but who am I to pass up an opportunity like this?" Scott chuckled.
"If I call your name, that means Scott didn't elect you to leave," Chris grinned. "Scott, Geoff, Eva, you're safe!" He tossed them their marshmallows. "So are Izzy, Sky, Damien, and Priya!" The next four happily claimed their marshmallows.
Only Trent and Rodney were left, and the two boys anxiously looked at each other as it came down to the final marshmallow. "The person staying for another day is… Rodney!"
Trent was satisfied to get his marshmallow, but changed his tune once he saw Rodney's disappointed face. "Sorry you had to leave like this," the guitarist said.
"I knew this was going to happen," Rodney reassured him as he stood up. "Before I go, there's something I have to say about a certain someone."
"And what could that be?" Sky grew curious.
"Scott's been the one responsible for some of the eliminations going on," Rodney confessed. "He got rid of Anne Maria, Justin, Jasmine, Sam, Gwen, Millie, and Brick this season."
Scott sputtered in disbelief. "And how are you gonna prove that?"
Trent began to smirk. "Rodney's telling the truth because I have evidence to prove it." He whipped out Scott's knife and held it high enough for everyone to see.
"Hey, doesn't that knife belong to Scott?" Geoff realized.
"It does, and it's tainted with my guitar strings, the ones that got cut up before," Trent said.
"And Scott is the only one capable enough to write some insulting things to us," Rodney added.
This information caused everyone to shoot daggers at Scott, who felt nervous at first before scoffing. "Alright then. I did do all those things," he admitted. "Pinning the doll on Jasmine, stealing Omar from Sam, all of that was just strategy."
"So it was you that made Millie look bad," Priya growled. "I knew you were a weasel!"
"Hey, Eva helped me with Gwen's elimination," Scott retorted.
"I did, but at least I didn't try to mess up our team and the other on purpose!" Eva said.
"If you want to hate the player, hate the game much more," Scott snarked. "Rodney's gone, and there's nothing we can do about it."
Damien shot him a disapproving look. "In my eyes, I don't think it's wrong to hate the player more than the game, Scott!"
The footage skipped forward to the Dock of Shame. Rodney reached the end of the pier, and turned to flash a smile at the remaining contestants. "Goodbye everyone! Make sure to kick a certain someone's butt for me!" He turned back and stepped onto the Boat of Losers, the host already waiting for him. Except for Scott, the rest of the remaining eight campers waved him off as he sailed away.
