Julia felt an unimaginable amount of fury today.
Not only did she fail to win immunity to DAMIEN of all people, but now MK was exposed for cheating in the challenges and pretty much everyone was against her which sucked since the one person who Julia actually liked in this game(although she dare not admit it).
She did have a plan in her mind, Bowie didn't exactly have the best reputation with the cast. It would not take too much coaxing to get Ripper to convince Axel and the Rat Faces that it was Bowie's idea to cheat in the challenges and had MK carry it out.
Currently, she had just finished walking MK to the cabin. The poor girl didn't have the best vision due to having her face punched in by a bear so Julia decided to help her out a bit even if seeing MK in such pain made her heart ache a bit.
Before she headed for the boys' cabin to talk to Ripper, Bowie had exited from said cabin and smirked at Julia.
"Well well, it seems you have deformities after all Julia." Bowie smirked at the influencer, referring to her broken nose.
"Oh, hilarious. What do you want?" Julia asked angrily.
"I was just getting ready to have a date with Raj. I mean, it's only fitting after I made the finals in today's jousting tournament." Bowie said happily.
"You realize boasting about being a threat only makes you a bigger target, right?" Julia asked venomously.
"Oh I don't think I need to worry. MK is so going home tonight." Bowie chuckled mockingly before asking, "Speaking of which, are you going to cry when she leaves? You two are pretty close after all."
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm a lot of things but I'm not gonna cry over losing someone I'm allies with." Julia rolled her eyes.
"Oh really?" Bowie smirked tauntingly, "I can smell gay energy from a mile away sweetheart. You are totally into MK. Maybe you two can share a goodbye kiss once she's announced as eliminated, provided she isn't too banged up from all the bear mauling to actually acknowledge you. Nyahahahaha."
Bowie then walked away with a sinister smirk which caused Julia to growl furiously from behind him. Insulting her beauty was one thing, but poking fun at her situationship with MK AND mocking her after she was mauled by a bear crossed a new line for Julia. She was no saint but now she felt a kinship with MK. This brought a new level of fury to Julia.
No, getting Bowie eliminated wouldn't be enough for Julia. She needed Bowie to suffer for his actions. He had gotten her eliminated, betrayed her and MK when they were giving their team easy wins, and now he was going to mooch off of her MK's suffering. Absolutely not, he would pay for this.
Wait a minute… her MK?
Strangely enough, the idea of MK being her's didn't sound unappealing to Julia. After all, they were very similar and MK was the one person Julia could confide in without feeling judged, so yeah, maybe being in love with MK was a good idea.
Then it hit Julia. The feeling of love, it was a powerful emotion, but can cause pain too.
Julia's lips morphed into a cruel smirk. Bowie wouldn't be going home tonight, someone else would be paying the price instead but first, she needed to talk to Ripper and a few Rat Faces.

Bowie was feeling a bit confident at today's elimination. He was a bit nervous when Chef reminded him of how his enemies were piling up but remembered that MK was literally outed for cheating, there was no way she was staying after that.
After Bowie made his vote, he sat next to Wayne and Raj, but Julia awas also sitting nearby with MK. Odd.
"I just want you to know that you're not going home tonight and whatever happens next is completely your fault." Julia whispered menacingly to him.
Bowie rolled his eyes at Julia's attempt to threaten him. Yeah, he felt a little guilty for throwing MK under the bus as he did enable her and Julia's cheating but in the end, they were evil and deserved this.
Bowie looked over to Raj who smiled at him wholeheartedly with his boyfriend blushing as he did so. Bowie smiled back, they can get through this. Although he couldn't shake the feeling he was missing something.
"Okay, so I got the votes and I have to say, there's some hate in this group. If you get a marshmallow, you're safe." Chris said happily, "Zee, Priya, Caleb, Axel, Ripper, Julia, Wayne, and Bowie. You are all safe."
Bowie gasped as he got his marshmallow, he already assumed he'd be safe but figured MK and Julia would be voting for him tonight. He then looked to see Raj who didn't have a marshmallow and was equally confused. He then turned to the rest of the cast, Ripper and Axel were glaring at him, Zee and Damien looked flippant, Priya was seething with rage, and Caleb was looking at anywhere but him.
He then turned to Julia who smirked villainously at him and his eyes widened in horror. No… she couldn't have possibly done what he was beginning to dread.
"Last one safe is…"
Bowie was silently begging that Raj was safe and was hoping his prayers were answered.
"MK."
Raj and Wayne's eyes widened in horror and Bowie felt like his heart was breaking.
"What?! This is a mistake! How is Raj going home?!" Bowie asked vehemently towards the rest of the cast.
"Don't act so innocent, Julia and Ripper told us everything about how you came up with the idea to cheat!" Priya said furiously as she stood from her stump.
"Are you serious?! Why would I have done that?! MK dressed as the intern!" Bowie asked incredulously.
"Oh definitely, and what she did was wrong but you clearly had to have enabled her cheating in some way. Why else would she be able to pull it off?" Priya narrowed her eyes furiously.
Bowie couldn't argue with that, even if Priya was wrong about her leading the cheating, he did enable it.
"But why target Raj instead of me?! He did nothing wrong!" Bowie glared at the former winner and the rest of the cast.
"You caused a certain few of us a LOT of grief with your actions last season so it's only fair we take someone you love away from you as compensation!" Priya cried out vengefully.
Bowie stood mouth agape as he turned to the rest of the former Rat Faces and Ripper with a horrified look, "You all seriously believe this is fair?"
"You got me voted off first so I felt this is well deserved." Caleb tried to say dismissively but it was clear his heart wasn't in it.
"Getting you eliminated is way too easy for the likes of you! We want you to suffer before you're inevitably taken out!" Axel glared furiously at the strategist before turning to the others for affirmation, "Am I right?!"
Zee and Damien nodded but they all seemed reluctant doing so though. Julia continued to smirk at Bowie who glared furiously at the blonde influencer.
"You did this!" Bowie hissed venomously before Raj walked over towards Bowie with a downtrodden expression.
"Bowie, it's okay. Let's just head to the dock." Raj said sadly before he and Wayne headed for the Dock Of Shame, both equally upset but Bowie glared at Priya, Julia, and Axel in fury.
"This isn't over." Bowie vowed before following the Hockey Bros to the dock although the tears in his eyes betrayed his words.
It was when Bowie, Wayne, and Raj made it to the dock where Bowie finally broke down sobbing, much to the Hockey Bros' concern.
"I'm so sorry Raj. If I had just been a better person, had I just played fair, you wouldn't be in this situation right now." Bowie cried out, full of remorse.
"Bowie, please. It's really not your fault. Everyone's just being a bunch of jerks right now." Raj said comfortingly, "None of us deserve this and we know it."
Bowie continued tearing up when Chris' obnoxious voice temporarily broke Bowie out of his depression.
"Okay. I would ask if you have any last words but that was already a lot to get through so time to go." Chris smiled before the Drone Of Despair picked up Raj and sent him flying through the night sky. Raj only gave a small wave and a sad smile towards Bowie as he was being lifted by the Drone Of Despair and just like that, he was gone.
Bowie knew he shouldn't be so sad about this. He would see Raj again eventually, but he couldn't help but mull over this turn of events. None of this wouldn't have happened had he just tried to win challenges fairly and now Raj was suffering for it and lost out on a million dollars because of him.
After finishing his outro, Chris had left the dock, leaving Bowie and Wayne alone.
"Hey Bowie, I'm gonna head to the guys cabin and talk with Damien, Zee, and Caleb. Maybe we can get past this." Wayne smiled optimistically at the strategist.
"Wayne, if you don't mind. I'd like to be alone right now." Bowie sighed miserably.
Wayne frowned but seemed understanding about the situation so he nodded and walked off.
Bowie stared silently at his reflection in the water with a saddened look.
"What have I done?" Bowie asked himself sadly before feeling a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see Julia smirking smugly at him.
"I hope you've learned your lesson on who you decide to mess with Bowie. Maybe this'll teach you not to backstab me ever again." Julia said tauntingly.
"Oh sure, I'll totally make an alliance with you after you just eliminated my boyfriend." Bowie narrowed his eyes furiously. That seemed to be the wrong choice of words, because Julia immediately grabbed his shirt. Her grip was tight and her glare was piercing and threatening.
"You think I'm letting you off that easily, huh?" Julia's voice was low and dangerous, "Like Priya and Axel said, you're going to suffer for as long as I can help it until you finally lose."
Julia then plopped Bowie down on the dock before looking at her hand in what appeared to be shock before shaking it off and keeping her glare on Bowie.
"Sleep tight Bowie." Julia crossed her arms before walking off angrily, leaving Bowie on the dock.
Bowie just sighed, feeling nothing but despair at this point. He was now alone, and other than Wayne, no one liked him or would listen to him if he tried to go against Julia.
And he couldn't blame anybody but himself.
