Sam (6): Brick, Beth, Zoey, Owen, Leshawna, Harold
Beth (4): Cody, Dawn, Sam, Cameron
(Day 5)
Courtney and Scott were sleeping on the ground outside the McLean Spa Hotel in their sleeping bags. The last thing Courtney ever expected was for Scott to be willing to give up sleeping in the fancy spa hotel for her. She was so touched and thankful for Scott's actions because she really didn't want to spend another night outside alone.
Suddenly, "Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against the Machine played on the speakers and that was the cue for Courtney and Scott to wake up.
"How did you sleep?" asked Scott.
"Better than the last night I was out here, mainly thanks to you. Did you sleep well? I know it must've sucked to not be in a bed." asked Courtney.
"I slept alright. I like the beds in the Spa Hotel, but I can handle sleeping on the ground. It wouldn't be my first time." Scott said before getting out of his sleeping bag and standing up so he could properly stretch.
"I'm going to get us some breakfast." said Scott.
"Okay, be back soon." said Courtney.
Scott entered the Spa Hotel and everyone stared at him, with some having disgusted looks on their faces.
"What?" asked Scott.
"Scott, you're not wearing pants." said Gwen.
"Huh?" Scott said before looking down and seeing that he was still wearing his white briefs.
Instead of being embarrassed, he simply said, "Oh", and shrugged his shoulders before getting food for himself and Courtney.
While doing so, Heather said, "Ugh. Scott, can you at least have some sense of decency?"
"What? It's just underwear, geez." said Scott.
"Well, it's gross." said Heather.
"You guys have seen Owen's naked body and I'M the gross one? Pfft. Prudes." Scott said before leaving.
(Confessional)
"I find it really funny that Heather calls me gross, yet she's done some of the nastiest stuff imaginable on this show. She sucked jelly out of Owen's belly button for crying out loud." said Scott.
(Scene Change)
Team Heroism was eating breakfast in the main lodge and their morale was at rock bottom. They had to eliminate 2 teammates and lose another due to injury, putting them at a clear disadvantage against Team Villainy, who still had all their teammates.
DJ, who had just finished his work in the kitchen, went over to the team and said, "Hey guys, what's with the long faces? The day just started."
"We've been spending the last few days getting our butts handed to us by Team Villainy." said Harold.
"Okay, so the last few days haven't been great, but today could be different." said DJ.
"DJ, I really appreciate your optimism, but right now, we're screwed. We have 9 members while Villainy has 12. At the rate things are going, we're going to be the new Team Victory. Maybe even worse than Team Victory. No offense." said Cody.
"None taken." said DJ.
"Same here. Our team had Ezekiel and any team with Ezekiel is doomed to fail." said Leshawna.
"Yeah, and what sucks is that we were so close to winning the last three challenges. All it took was one mistake to screw all of them up. It's so frustrating." said Zoey.
Beth heard Zoey's words and felt even more guilty about what she did in yesterday's ice cream challenge.
(Confessional)
"God, the guilt is killing me. I know I should tell them the truth but if I do, they might turn on me and I'll get eliminated for sure. Why didn't I just close the stupid bottle?!" said Beth.
(End Of Confessional)
"Not to mention, Team Villainy is loaded with strong players. Duncan, Alejandro, Heather, Courtney, Lightning, Jo, Scott, Gwen. How are we supposed to beat that?" asked Cameron.
"They also have my buddy, Noah, who's wicked smart. So, yeah, we're doomed." said Owen.
Brick, the captain of Team Heroism, looked at his teammates and tried to think of a way to lift everyone's spirits.
(Confessional)
"I am well aware of the fact that my team isn't doing so hot right now. But that doesn't mean we give up. A negative attitude won't get us anywhere. What we need to do is get in the right mindset for today's challenge and thankfully, I have a speech prepared." said Brick.
(End Of Confessional)
Brick got up and stood on top of the table his team was sitting at and got everyone's attention.
"Guys, I have something to say. I'm not going to sugarcoat things when I say that we're in trouble. There are 9 of us and 12 of Team Villainy. We're clearly outmatched BUT that does not mean we give up. That does not mean we quit. That does not mean we accept defeat. During my time in military camp, things were brutal and there were plenty of times I could've quit. But I didn't. I pushed through the pain, the adversity, the self-doubt, and as a result, I earned myself a gold medal. I got through my challenges, and I firmly believe the rest of you can too. We have what it takes." said Brick.
Brick's words did increase the team's morale and Zoey decided to increase it even further by adding to Brick's speech.
"Brick's right. We do have what it takes. We have 3 former winners of Total Drama compared to Team Villainy, who only has one. Not to mention, Cody and I made it to the final 3 in the last two seasons, and Leshawna and Harold made it to the final five in the first two seasons. And we went through some of the worst stuff imaginable to get that far. So, if we could get through all that crap before, we can definitely get through it again." said Zoey.
"Additionally, we need to throw out the negativity on the team. A negative mindset won't help us beat Team Villainy. We need to think positively and start believing in ourselves. And it doesn't matter what challenge we're in because if we truly believe we can win, we WILL win. So, let's get ourselves our first W!" said Brick.
Everyone cheered and started chanting Brick's name which made him feel good inside and erased some of his own self-doubts.
(Scene Change)
The 9 members of Team Heroism and the 12 members of Team Villainy waited outside the main lodge for John to announce today's challenge, whatever it might be.
While waiting, Anne Maria sprayed her hair with one of the numerous cans of hairspray she brought to the island, which made everyone cough.
"I see you're trying to single-handedly kill the ozone layer." said Noah.
"Not my fault the ozone layer can't handle my pouffe. It needs all the spray it can get." said Anne Maria.
"Morning, All-Stars. Ready for today's challenge?" asked John.
"Let me guess, it's another original creation." said Noah.
"Wrong, Noah. It's a challenge from the past. Specifically, Season 1. This challenge is one that most of you never participated in, either because you were eliminated beforehand, or you didn't appear on the show yet. It didn't have a name, but it was memorable for several reasons. One of those reasons was that it wasn't run by Chris. It was run by Chef." said John.
Gwen, Duncan, Courtney, Heather, Owen, Leshawna, and Harold's eyes all widened as they knew what John was talking about.
"No, you are NOT bringing that challenge back!" said Heather.
"Oh, but I am because today, we're doing Chef's Boot Camp challenge." John said with a big smile on his face.
(Confessional)
"YES! Finally! A challenge that I have an advantage in! This could be what we need to lead our team to victory!" said Brick.
STATIC
"Really? Boot Camp? God, it was bad enough the first time but now I have to do it again?!" said Gwen.
STATIC
"This will not be a good day for me because I have to deal with my mortal enemy: physical activity." said Noah.
STATIC
"I ain't doing no Boot Camp stuff if it does damage to my looks. I don't care how much money you throw at me, if my pouffe gets damaged, I ain't doing nothing." said Anne Maria.
(End Of Confessional)
"That episode was also memorable for Duncan and Courtney hooking up." said John.
Both Duncan and Courtney looked away from each other in embarrassment.
"And also, for Harold messing with the votes and getting Courtney unfairly eliminated because Duncan wouldn't stop bullying him." said John.
Harold looked at the ground with a guilty look on his face, as John's words brought back memories of that night.
"I know, fun times. So, Gwen, since you won this challenge, I would like for you to explain its' structure to all your fellow All-Stars." said John.
Gwen sighed before saying, "Okay, for anyone who wasn't here for this challenge, here's how it went the first time. We had to hold a canoe over our heads until someone gave up, eat literal garbage, dance for reasons I will never understand, write a 300-word essay about how much we 'love' Chef, run through a muddy obstacle course, and finally hang upside down from a tree. The only way to win is if everyone from one team is eliminated."
"Is that it?" asked Cameron.
"Yep, that's it." said Gwen.
"John, you're not going to make us do all of that, right? Right?" asked Cody.
"Right you are, Cody. This version of the Boot Camp challenge will be different from the original. I won't give you full details but I will say that you will not have to eat trash or dance." said John.
"Thank God." said Heather.
"Now, let's get started." said John.
(Scene Change)
The two teams were now on the beach with both holding a canoe (green for Heroism and red for Villainy) over their heads.
"Remember, this will only end once someone lets go of the canoe." John said while sitting in a lounge chair off to the side.
Although Team Heroism had FAR less strength than Team Villainy, they were able to keep their canoe up with no real issue thanks to Brick, Owen, and Leshawna.
"Hey Soggy Drawers, how's it going over there?" Jo mocked.
Brick ignored her insult and responded with, "It's going great. I haven't even broken a sweat."
"Good because the longer this goes on, the worse it will be for you. Especially since it must be so hard carrying your team's weight." Jo taunted.
(Confessional)
"Next to Duncan, Jo is one of the few people here I can't stand. Don't get me wrong, she's a strong player and she makes for great competition. But she's such a jerk for no reason. And she still insults me over my bladder issues. It hurts." said Brick.
STATIC
"Am I a little mean? Yeah. Do I care? No. I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to win. If you ask me, everyone here is an enemy, even my own teammates. I also like to make fun of people and Brick's my favorite target. He's just too easy." said Jo.
(End Of Confessional)
3 Hours Later
"Wow, it's been 3 hours already and not one person has given up yet." said John.
Duncan looked at Brick and said, "Feeling tired yet?", in a mocking tone.
"Not one bit. You?" responded Brick.
"I'm doing just dandy over here." said Duncan.
It looked like no one was budging anytime soon. That was until a mosquito got a little too close to Anne Maria's face.
"Oh hell no. You better get out of my face." said Anne Maria. Out of pure instinct, she took her hands off the canoe and used them to swat the bug away.
The mosquito eventually flew away and Anne Maria triumphantly said, "Yeah, fly away! You ain't sucking my blood."
"And we finally have our first elimination. Sorry, Anne Maria, you're out of the challenge." said John.
"What?!" asked Anne Maria.
Team Heroism cheered before dropping their canoe.
"What did I do?" asked Anne Maria.
"You let go of the canoe." said John.
"A mosquito was in my face!" said Anne Maria.
"That's no excuse." said John.
"You know what? Whatever. I have no regrets. My looks come before anything else." said Anne Maria.
"You should tell that to your team, who I should say, look mighty pissed off right now." said John.
Anne Maria looked at her teammates who were still holding up their canoe and were all giving her death glares.
"Okay, so maybe I let go of the canoe. But we still have more people, so it's not like it's a big deal." said Anne Maria.
"Not a big deal? We could've won this with ease!" said Courtney.
"I don't know why you're all against me. No one was against Lindsay when she gave up." said Anne Maria.
"Lindsay held on to the canoe FAR longer than you ever did and she only gave up because of exhaustion, not because of a stupid bug!" said Heather. Some were surprised that Heather defended Lindsay considering their history, but they knew she was right.
"Whatever. I wouldn't have made it far in this challenge anyway. Writing and dealing with mud are 2 of my least favorite things." said Anne Maria.
Done with Anne Maria's attitude, the rest of Team Villainy threw their canoe at her in anger, only for the canoe to split in half when it collided with Anne Maria's hair.
"You better pray we win this challenge." Duncan threatened before he and the rest of the team walked away from her.
(Confessional)
"I don't get why everyone is so mad at me. Even without me in the challenge, WE'RE STILL GOING TO WIN! Our team is too good to lose." said Anne Maria.
(Scene Change)
The two teams were now in the main lodge, awaiting the next part of the challenge.
"Okay, so, as I said earlier, not eating garbage and no dancing, which means we skip to the next part of the challenge. Writing an essay." said John.
Everyone groaned and complained with Noah saying, "Oh come on! You really kept that part in?!"
"Yep. I think it's a nice change of pace. But the essay you're all writing will not be the one Chef made you write, which pretty much forced you to suck up to him. No, instead, your essays will be about your Total Drama experience. And it can be about anything. Your best moments, your worst moments, your friends, your enemies, what you could've done differently, all of that. As long as it connects to Total Drama, it counts." said John.
"Is that all?" asked Zoey.
"NO, because there are rules to this essay. One, the minimum length will be 3 pages, front and back. Two, I will be checking for spelling and grammar mistakes. If you only have a few errors, I'll accept it. But if I have to mark your whole essay with red ink, you're out of the challenge. And I don't want to read an essay that's just one long run-on sentence with hundreds of 'verys' in it." John said, targeting Duncan.
"Damnit." Duncan muttered to himself, knowing he couldn't do the same thing twice.
"Three, no cheating, no copying, no plagiarism, NONE OF THAT. If I catch you, you're out of the challenge. And four, make your papers interesting. I don't want to read papers that are boring and painful. If you do that, you're out. Understand?" asked John.
Everyone nodded their heads.
"Good. You have 2 hours. Good luck." said John.
And for the next 2 hours, everyone worked on their essays, and everyone had a different subject. For Heather, it was about her redemption in World Tour. For Courtney, it was about her frustration with Total Drama as a whole. For Scott, it was about all his regrets in Revenge of the Island. For Lightning, it was all about himself, go figure. Everyone wrote their own unique essay and while some had an easy time with it, others struggled.
(Confessional)
"Writing sucks. And the time limit doesn't help things. I wanted to do something easy, so I just wrote about all the fun times I had with DJ and Geoff, both on and off-camera. It sucks they're not competing this season. They deserve to be All-Stars, especially DJ." said Duncan.
STATIC
"I pretty much just bitched about Chris in my essay. And honestly, 3 full pages isn't enough to describe my contempt for that man." said Noah.
STATIC
"I had so many ideas for my essay that I couldn't decide what to do. So, I wrote mine about Mike. I really miss him." said Zoey.
STATIC
"Writing was never my best subject, but I now get the excuse to make fun of Brick. Not that I needed much of an excuse." said Jo.
(End Of Confessional)
"Okay, pencils down! Your 2 hours are up! Bring me your papers." said John.
Everyone grabbed their papers and handed them over to John, who proceeded to read through each one as fast as possible. While reading, he did appreciate the diversity of the topics. It was better than having everyone write the same exact thing. Some topics were more interesting than others, as some All-Stars were willing to talk about some personal stuff, like Gwen writing about how she was in a dark place after her breakup with Trent.
"Man, you guys wrote some good stuff. Some of it is a lot darker and more emotional than I expected but still, good stuff. Gwen, I'm really impressed with yours." said John.
"Thanks." Gwen said awkwardly.
"Noah, I LOVE your rant against Chris." said John.
"I could've said far worse, but the page requirement didn't allow it." said Noah.
"Sierra, your paper was equal parts highly detailed and incredibly disturbing and it makes me want to take 3 showers." said John.
"I just wanted to write about my Cody Wody." Sierra defended, which made Cody, as well as all of Gen 1 cringe, as they didn't want to know what Sierra put in that essay.
"Overall, most of these papers are really solid. A good amount of you actually took this seriously. A few of these papers are a little meanspirited, but they're still written well, so I'll let it pass. What I WON'T let pass are papers are anything but solid and unfortunately, I have a few of those. In fact, they either bored me to tears or made me want to jab a pencil into my head. Justin. Lightning. Your papers are pure narcissism, it's sickening." said John.
"I can't help but write about my good looks." said Justin.
"I know and it's painful to read. But at least your paper is written competently enough. But Lightning. Your paper is an absolute disaster." said John.
"Really? How so?" asked Lightning.
"Every other word is misspelled. Some words I didn't think anyone could get wrong; you got wrong. The grammar is all fucked. You put a "Sha" in front of most of the words, even when it wasn't necessary. You wrote your essay in the third person, which made me feel like I was entering your empty, hollow mind. And reading the whole thing made me feel like I was having a stroke. So, for all these reasons, you're out of the challenge." said John.
"What?! Man, everyone's a critic." said Lightning.
"The rest of you are safe. Now, it's time for part 3 of the challenge." said John.
(Confessional)
"This challenge is going way better than I thought. Team Villainy has already lost 2 people and we haven't lost any yet. And even better, they lost Lightning, one of their strongest players. I think we can actually do this." said Cameron.
(End Of Confessional)
The remaining members of Team Heroism and Team Villainy were now outside, looking at the obstacle course John set up. It was a replica of the obstacle course from the original version of the challenge, complete with walls, rope swings, axes, tires, and mud.
"Okay, the goal is very simple. If you can complete this obstacle course in under a minute, you're safe. If you can't, you're out. Got it?" said John.
"Actually, John, I would like to forfeit." said Justin.
The rest of Team Villainy responded with, "Forfeit?!"
John sighed before saying, "Let me guess. You want to protect your image?"
"Exactly, my face took a ton of damage in Action and I'm not risking anything in All-Stars. I refuse to crawl around in the mud on national TV. It could do serious damage to my future modeling career." said Justin.
"No one here gives a damn about your modeling career! You're just a lazy piece of shit!" yelled Duncan.
"You wouldn't understand. You don't have the look of a supermodel. None of you do." said Justin.
"I'd beg to differ." said Alejandro.
"Okay, I'll admit, you're a good-looking man but you're not me." said Justin.
"You're right. I'm not you. I'm better than you. Because unlike you, I have a stable relationship and I don't obsess over my looks like an insecure perra." said Alejandro.
Heather smiled as she knew what the word 'perra' meant, thanks to Alejandro giving her some Spanish lessons over the past year. (Note: 'perra' means bitch in Spanish)
"Excuse me? I don't know what you just said to me but I'm going to assume it's offensive." said Justin.
"Justin, if you don't get out of our sight right now, I'll make sure you never have kids." said Gwen.
"And how exactly will you do that?" Justin asked.
Gwen responded by kicking him in his crown jewels and saying, "That's how."
(Confessional)
"At this point, I'm not sure who we should kick out first. Anne Maria and Justin are at equal levels of uselessness. They're just dragging our team down." said Heather.
(End Of Confessional)
"Okay, okay. Enough drama. Let's get this over with. On your mark. Get set. GO!" said John and everyone took off.
As expected, the more athletic players got a head start, as Duncan, Gwen, Courtney, Scott, Alejandro, Jo, Brick, Zoey, and Heather got over the wall first, while everyone else needed more time.
Going through the tires was easy for some contestants, but not so easy for others, as Owen got stuck.
"Not again." Owen said while trapped in the tire.
At this point, only a few All-Stars got to the axes, where they had to crawl through the mud to avoid getting sliced. Duncan was the most confident of anyone until he started to sink into the mud.
"Oh shit." Duncan said as he tried to move but it was no use.
Gwen looked at him sympathetically while quickly saying, "Duncan, I would love to help you, but I can't stop. I need to win. Sorry."
Duncan sighed before saying, "It's cool."
After getting through the axes, all that was left was to grab a rope and swing across. Gwen managed to do it with ease and reach the end first, with Brick, Jo, Alejandro, Zoey, Courtney, Scott, and Heather coming right after her.
"Congratulations. You're all safe. And there are only 25 seconds remaining." said John.
While getting over the wall, Cody slipped and fell on Noah, taking them both out.
Sierra, who was about to begin the axe section, saw Cody in pain and rushed toward him. She checked on Cody while completing ignoring Noah.
"Okay, sure. Just ignore your own teammate. That's fine. That's just fine. It's not like I'm in pain or anything." Noah said with a bitter tone.
Meanwhile, Cameron and Beth just got through the tires section, while Harold, Leshawna, and Dawn were in the axes section.
"10 seconds!" said John.
That announcement gave the rest of Team Heroism an adrenaline rush as they all moved faster, except for Cameron, who crawled in a bad spot and began to sink, just like Duncan. Duncan looked at Cameron's predicament and the two just looked at each other.
"S'up." said Duncan.
"Oh, nothing. I'm just sinking here." said Cameron.
"Same." Duncan said in response.
Harold, Leshawna, and Dawn quickly got through the rope section and finished, and just when Beth made it to the rope, John said, "TIME!"
"Oh, come on! I was right there!" said an annoyed Beth.
"Well, if you were just a wee bit faster, you would've made it. But you weren't, so you're out." said John.
Beth whined and walked back to the axes section, so she could help Cameron out of the mud, while Owen, who got out of the tire, helped Duncan.
"You okay, Duncan?" asked Owen.
"I'm fine, Big O." said Duncan.
"Okay, Gwen, Brick, Jo, Alejandro, Courtney, Zoey, Scott, Heather, Harold, Leshawna, and Dawn, you're all going to the final round. Everyone else, please take a shower." said John.
"Will do." Noah said before he and the rest of the contestants who didn't make it walked back to the cabins.
While walking, Duncan and Noah went to their fellow alliance mates, Cody and Owen, and Noah asked, "So, how's life on the opposite team?"
"Our teammates are cool, but I do wish you guys and Gwen were there." said Cody.
"Yeah. How's life with all the villains?" asked Owen.
"It sucks. I'm praying that the merge comes sooner rather than later." said Duncan.
"I concur. It'll only be so long before Lightning's stupidity gives me an aneurysm." said Noah.
"That's rough. Anything interesting going on with you guys? We have no real drama going on our team, besides the whole 'whodunit' with the ice cream incident." said Cody.
"Courtney and Scott seem to be friends. He willingly gave up his spot at the Spa Hotel, so he could be with Courtney, who we banned from entering after what she did to Tyler." said Noah.
"Wow." Owen said as he noticed how annoyed Duncan was when Courtney and Scott's names were brought up.
Duncan saw Owen looking at him and asked, "What?"
"Nothing." said Owen.
(Confessional)
"I'm starting to think Duncan may be jealous of Courtney being friends with Scott. I know he wants to act like he's done with Courtney, but it's hard to drop your love for someone. I would know because I still think about Izzy constantly." Owen said before giving a sad sigh.
(Scene Change)
The remaining All-Stars (Gwen, Brick, Jo, Alejandro, Zoey, Courtney, Scott, Heather, Harold, Leshawna, and Dawn) were now in the middle of the forest as they awaited the final challenge.
"Alright, welcome to the final round. And before you say anything, no, you're not going to hang upside down from a tree." said John.
"We're not?" replied Gwen.
"Nope. Instead, the final challenge will be very simple. You're going to run through the forest and reach the finish line. The first person who reaches the finish line wins for their team." said John.
"How far away is the finish line?" asked Heather.
"A few miles." said John.
"You just had to ask." Leshawna said while glaring at Heather.
"Okay, on your mark. Get set. GO!" John said and everyone ran off.
Due to the previous challenge, nearly all the remaining All-Stars were slower and more exhausted, but the athletic contestants were still ahead of the non-athletic contestants. That was until Alejandro screamed and everyone saw that he was now hanging from a tree with a rope tied around his ankle.
"What the hell?" asked Heather.
(Confessional)
"Yeah, I didn't mention that I placed booby traps all over the forest for the final round. I could've told the All-Stars in advance, but…where's the fun in that?" said John.
(End Of Confessional)
The booby traps then took out Heather, Courtney, Scott, Dawn, Zoey, and Leshawna. This left Harold, Gwen, Brick, and Jo as the only ones still running. Harold was FAR behind, and Gwen was losing her momentum, which left Brick and Jo in front of everyone.
Brick and Jo were running alongside each other, and Jo taunted Brick with, "Come on Captain Whizz, you know you can't beat me."
"Calling me names isn't going to help you win." said Brick.
"It's still fun." said Jo. But then suddenly, Jo screamed and fell into a hole that was covered with leaves.
"JO!" a concerned Brick yelled as he hoped she wasn't injured.
"Jarhead! Get me out of here!" Jo yelled from inside the hole.
Brick looked at her and noticed Gwen in the distance. His mind was conflicted. He could try to help Jo out of the hole but that would lead to Gwen winning and Team Heroism losing for the 4th time in a row. "Never leave a cadet behind" was the motto Brick lived by and not once had he strayed from that motto.
But when he looked at Jo, tons of bad memories came flooding back. All the times she mocked him, harassed him, called him names, insulted his manhood, made fun of his bladder issues. To Brick, Jo was just a bully, and he was tired of being her victim. Plus, his team couldn't afford another loss right now, especially after he raised everyone's spirits earlier.
Now, the desire to win and stick it to Jo and his "never leave a cadet behind" code were at war with each other in Brick's head. And as he was thinking things through, he saw Gwen pass him.
"Hey G.I. Joke! I'm trapped in here! Aren't you going to do something?" asked Jo.
At that exact moment, the desire to win overpowered everything else in Brick's mind and he closed his eyes and ran forward, abandoning Jo, who had a stunned look on her face.
While running, Brick opened his eyes and found his second wind, rushing past Gwen and crossing the finish line first, winning the challenge for his team.
"HEROISM WINS! Team Heroism FINALLY wins a challenge!" said John.
"I won. I…I won." Brick said while panting.
Harold and the other members of Team Heroism, who had just got out of their booby traps, went to Brick and celebrated with him, chanting his name and lifting him up in the air. Brick had a huge smile on his face. But that smile turned upside down when he saw Jo, who got out of the hole. She had a look of hurt and anger on her face, which made Brick look down in shame.
(Confessional)
"I don't know what's going on with me. I should be happy. I mean our team finally won! We don't have to eliminate anyone tonight. We can stay in the McLean Spa Hotel! But at the same time, I feel kind of terrible about what I did to win. I broke my own code and abandoned Jo when she needed me. Now, Jo did somewhat deserve that, but it just doesn't feel right. I feel like I betrayed myself." said Brick.
(End Of Confessional)
"Team Villainy, see you at the campfire later tonight." John said to Gwen and Jo.
Once everyone was released from their booby traps, all the members of Team Villainy went back to the Spa Hotel (or outside the hotel in Courtney and Scott's case) to grab their belongings and take them to the cabins.
(Confessional)
"We lost. I wasn't expecting that. And you know what, I give Brick his dues. He earned that victory. Today, he was the better man. And now I have to think about who's biting the dust tonight. And spoiler alert, there are only 2 options and they're both a complete waste of space." said Duncan.
(End Of Confessional)
While Duncan was talking to most of his teammates about tonight's elimination, Anne Maria went over to Jo and Lightning and said, "Hey, you two aren't going to vote for me, right?"
"Why not?" asked Jo.
"Uh, because we're in an alliance." said Anne Maria.
"We are?" a confused Lightning asked.
"Yes, we formed a group the first day we got here. Remember?" said Anne Maria.
Jo thought about it and said, "Oh yeah, we did. Yeah, we won't vote for you. We'll vote for someone else."
"Cool." said Anne Maria.
When Anne Maria walked away, Jo looked at Lightning and shook her head and Lightning nodded in response.
(Scene Change)
Team Villainy sat around the campfire and waited for the ceremony to start.
"Will you look at that? For the first time ever, Team Villainy has to send somebody home. I almost thought I'd never see the day. Now, you know how this works. Go in the booth and cast your votes." said John.
(Voting Booth)
"Later, anti-me." Noah said before checking off a contestant.
STATIC
"After tonight, I should be able to breathe better without all that damn hairspray." Heather said before checking off a contestant.
STATIC
"Too easy." Anne Maria said before checking off a contestant.
STATIC
Alejandro shrugged his shoulders before checking off a contestant.
STATIC
"I don't care who goes at this point." Duncan said before checking off a contestant.
STATIC
Justin smiled before checking off a contestant.
(End Of Voting)
"And with 6 votes, the contestant going home is (cue dramatic pause) Anne Maria." said John.
"WHAT?!" yelled Anne Maria.
"I know. It's a real shock." said John.
"But who voted for me?" asked Anne Maria.
"Can't say." said John.
"Well then-" Anne Maria said before she paused and looked at Justin, who had a guilty look on his face.
"Justin, did you vote me off?" asked Anne Maria.
"Um, maybe." said Justin.
"MAYBE?! YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" yelled Anne Maria.
"Well, I thought you were going to do the same to me." said Justin.
"I didn't. I…I thought you loved me." said Anne Maria.
"Honestly, making out with you was fun but it was never going to get serious between us. Sorry." said Justin.
"I'm going to KILL YOU!" yelled Anne Maria.
"To be fair, I'm not the only one who betrayed you. Jo and Lightning did it too." said Justin.
"You fucking snitch!" said Jo.
"I don't care about them. All I care about is breaking your face." Anne Maria said before she lunged at Justin. She beat him up for a bit and stomped on his crotch before walking away.
(Scene Change)
A pissed-off Anne Maria entered the helicopter, and everyone watched her fly away from the island.
"I'm not missing her." said Duncan.
"Me neither." said Courtney.
"Nope." said Noah.
"Good riddance." said Heather.
(Scene Change)
As Team Villainy entered their respective cabins, Courtney set her sleeping bag on the ground, expecting to sleep outside again, hopefully with Scott by her side.
But to her surprise, Gwen, Heather, Jo, and Sierra walked up to her.
"So, we've thought about it. And since we're all technically losers tonight and staying in these cabins, it wouldn't be fair to leave you out here." said Heather.
"Wait, so that means-" Courtney said before Gwen stopped her.
"Yes, you can sleep with us." said Gwen.
"Really? Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You won't regret this." said Courtney.
"I hope not." Jo said before she and the rest of the female Villainy members entered their cabin.
From a distance, John looked at the camera and said, "Man, what a day. Team Villainy suffered their first defeat and kicked out the Jersey Shore Reject herself. Will this be a momentary setback, or will things take a turn for the worse? Find out next time on Total Drama All-Stars."
Hope you enjoyed the chapter. The plan I have now is to do a chapter of this story at least once a month, that way you won't have to deal with multi-month wait times with chapters. So, Anne Maria is gone, and Justin is on some thin ice with his team. Not to mention, I altered Brick's character so he's willing to break his own code as a last resort. He won't do it all the time though. The next chapter will also feature a challenge from the past and that challenge revolved around paintball and deer so stay tuned. Other than that, I hope you all have a wonderful day. Bye for now and stay safe.
