Author's Note: Here's how the voting went in 'Do You Want To Play A Game?'
Sierra (10): Duncan, Noah, Gwen, Courtney, Scott, Heather, Alejandro, Lightning, Jo, Sierra
(Day 10)
After yesterday's strange events, the remaining 17 All-Stars woke up, hoping that today would be normal. Or at least normal for Total Drama standards.
But unbeknownst to them, John was in the middle of an argument with the producers on the phone.
"What do you mean there's not enough drama? Come on, I made the theme Heroes vs. Villains, I put Duncan, Courtney, and Gwen on the same team, I gave you a gay kiss, is that not enough for you?! Well sorry, I'm not a sadist like Chris. You know what? You want drama? You're going to get drama. Trust me." John said before hanging up the phone.
(Confessional)
"I'm not going to lie, when I found out that Sierra got eliminated, I almost cried. Not because I missed her, oh God no. I almost cried because, for the first time in A LONG TIME, I didn't have to worry about Sierra. I don't have to worry about her being near me or suffocating me or stalking me or any of that. I finally feel…free." said Cody.

"I've been thinking about Duncan and I's relationship over the past few days, and I feel…conflicted. I still care about him, but he's been really pissing me off recently and it makes me wonder if it was a good idea to hook up with him at all. I…I just don't know anymore." said Gwen.
STATIC
"Now that we've gotten rid of all our liabilities, I think every day leading up to the merge is going to go one way and one way only. Us making Heroism our bitch." said Jo.
STATIC
"You know when the season started, I thought John was a cool guy. He seemed like the polar opposite of Chris. But after yesterday, I think my opinion of him is starting to shift." said Cameron.
(End Of Confessional)
"Schism" by Tool played on the loudspeakers as Alejandro walked out of the Guy's cabin to get some fresh air. Wondering if today was going to be a repeat of yesterday, he went over to the stand where John played his music. To his relief, John was there, and he gave Alejandro a wave.
Now convinced that today wasn't going to be abnormal, he snuck over to the McLean Spa Hotel to hopefully get some useful information from his competitors. While sneaking around, he overheard Harold, Cody, and Cameron having a conversation together.
He didn't pay much attention to their words until Harold said something that made him pause.
"A definite highlight I've had here was seeing Heather's boobies."
That one comment about Heather made Alejandro see red and completely blow his cover so he could confront Harold by grabbing him by his shirt.
"What did you just say?" Alejandro asked in a threatening tone.
"Uhhh." said Harold.
"If you value your life, you're going to answer my question. What the hell did you say about my girlfriend?" asked Alejandro.
"I saw her (gulp) boobies." Harold said nervously.
"WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!" Alejandro demanded.
"In Season 1, way before you even showed up. And it was an accident too, I swear." said Harold.
"You swear?" asked Alejandro.
"I swear on my life." said Harold.
After a few more tense seconds, Alejandro let go of Harold and walked back to the cabins, hoping to get some answers from Heather.
"That was intense." said Cameron.
"No kidding." said Cody.
(Confessional)
"(Cursing in Spanish) How is it that a scrawny little geek like Harold gets to see Heather's chest?! That should only be saved for someone she cares about and that someone is me!" Alejandro ranted.
(End Of Confessional)
Alejandro was now outside the Girl's cabin, and he knocked on the door before saying, "Mi amor, are you in there? I need to talk to you."
He heard a frustrated groan before Heather immediately opened the door and asked, "What is it, Alejandro? I was busy doing my nails."
"Well, I heard that back in Season 1, Harold saw your chest. Is that true?" asked Alejandro.
"Oh God. Don't make me relive that." said Heather.
"May I ask what really happened?" asked Alejandro.
"Ugh. Fine. We were doing an extreme sports challenge thing, and we were in the mud." said Heather.
"The mud?" asked Alejandro.
"We were water-skiing. I was driving the jet-ski and Harold was behind me. You better not have been thinking I was doing something like mud wrestling." said Heather.
"I wasn't. My head is completely out of the gutter." said Alejandro.
"Good. It better stay that way. Anyway, I was driving, and my goal was to prevent him from collecting flags. I didn't do a very good job so I thought could use a knife to screw him over. But then…it happened." said Heather.
"What happened?" asked Alejandro.
"A stupid tree branch caught my top and ripped it off. And my boobs were exposed on international TV. Next to getting my head shaved, it was the embarrassing moment of my life and you just HAD to bring that memory back." said Heather.
"Mi amor, I had no idea that happened to you. I shouldn't have brought back such a horrible memory. I'm sorry." said Alejandro.
"It's whatever. But why would you even ask about that? Wait. Do you want to see my boobs?" asked Heather.
Not expecting that response, a flabbergasted Alejandro said, "Uh. Um. I…I wouldn't word it like that necessarily. But…um…we've been dating for more than a year, so it would be nice BUT ONLY IF YOU WANT TO. I don't want to force you to do anything."
"Alejandro, relax. You're acting like I'm going to claw your face off or something. Look, you've been slacking off in the challenges since we got here. Like, where's the Alejandro from World Tour? Where's the guy who had a killer instinct and decimated the competition? Where is he?" asked Heather.
"Heather, that Alejandro is still here. It's just that I can't pull the same strategy twice. I'm saving my ruthless for the merge." said Alejandro.
"Well, I'll make you a deal. If you impress me in whatever challenge we have today, I'll show you the goods later. Got it?" said Heather.
"Yes. Yes, absolutely." said Alejandro.
"Good. Don't disappoint me." Heather said before closing the door.
(Confessional)
With a smug look, Heather said, "Guys are so easy."
(Scene Change)
The 8 members of Team Heroism and the 9 members of Team Villainy waited outside the main lodge for John to announce today's challenge.
"Morning, All-Stars. I know yesterday was intentionally unusual but today will be a normal day. I promise." said John.
"Somehow I doubt that." said Gwen.
"I'm being serious, Gwen. Nothing weird is going to happen." said John.
"That's what we thought yesterday before you gassed us and threw us in glass cages." said Noah.
"Okay, so maybe what I did yesterday was morally questionable but hey, it made for exciting TV." said John.
(Confessional)
"Yeah, John is definitely turning into another Chris." said Gwen.
(End Of Confessional)
"Anyway, today's challenge will be based on a challenge from the past. A challenge from Season 2, Total Drama Action. And this challenge is all about MUSIC." said John.
"UGH! NO! I'm not singing again!" yelled Duncan.
"I didn't say you had to, so how about you listen to the details before jumping to conclusions." said John.
Duncan was about to say something but stopped himself and just glared at John.
"Now, the original version of this challenge had 3 parts. Owen, I'd like for you to explain how the original challenge worked." said John.
"Okay, well, we played the guitar, we went through paparazzi, and we had to trash a hotel room." said Owen.
"That's it?" asked Brick.
"Pretty much." said Owen.
"Thank you, Owen. Now, I'm only keeping one of those and that's the guitar playing. I've replaced the other 2 parts of the original challenge with singing and dancing. Your performances will be judged by me and a special guest." said John.
"And who is this special guest?" asked Zoey.
"Great question, Zoey. Today's guest is something who knows all about music. And Gwen, I'm pretty sure you know him quite well." said John.
"Wait. You don't mean-" said Gwen.
"Yes, I do. Everyone, please welcome today's former contestant, Trent!" said John.
Trent walked up to the All-Stars and greeted everyone with, "Hey guys, how's it going?"
And while everyone's reactions to Trent ranged from excitement to complete indifference, Gwen was extremely uncomfortable, as she felt Trent showed up at the worst possible time.
"So, Trent and I are going to judge your performances. All you need to do is perform well enough to earn points. The score will range from 1 to 10. The most points you can get for your team is 30. Whichever team scores the most points after the 3 rounds wins. Sound simple? Gwen, you look mighty uncomfortable. Are you okay?" said John.
"I…I just need to…um…do something quickly." Gwen said before quickly running away.
"Huh. Weird." said John.
(Confessional)
"Trent?! Of all the people John could've brought here, he got Trent. And he did it right when I was contemplating my relationship with Duncan. And just looking at Trent's face just reminds me of all the terrible decisions I've made that got me to this point. UGH! THIS SUCKS!" Gwen yelled in frustration.
(End Of Confessional)
After her time in the confessional, Gwen rejoined her fellow All-Stars.
"You alright?" asked Duncan.
"I'm fine, Duncan. I just had to get something off my chest. It's not a big deal." Gwen lied, knowing this was a massive deal.
"Alright." said Duncan.
(Confessional)
"I know for a fact that whatever she got off her chest had to do with Elvis. I'm not stupid. And if Trent is smart, he'll know to keep his distance." said Duncan.
(End Of Confessional)
"Okay, now that Gwen is back, I can say that I won't be choosing who gets to perform. That's your job. So, who on Team Heroism wants to sing?" asked John.
Team Heroism looked at each other before Cody raised his hand.
"I'll sing." said Cody.
"Great. Now who on Team Villainy wants to sing?" asked John.
"I'll sing." Noah said, raising his hand.
"What? No! I should sing. I'm objectively the best singer here." said Courtney.
"She's not wrong about that." said Alejandro.
"Yeah, but Noah called it first. Plus, having two lovers compete against each other is just more interesting. Now, who wants to play guitar?" asked John.
"I will!" Duncan and Courtney said simultaneously.
The ex-couple glared at each other before John said, "And having two ex-lovers competing together is even more interesting, so I'll let both of you play. Team Heroism, who wants to go up against the former Duncney?" asked John.
"I'll go." said Owen.
"And I'll go too." said Zoey.
"Alright then. And now, we need dancers. Who wants to dance?" asked John.
"Heather and I will dance for Team Villainy." said Alejandro.
"Okay. And Team Heroism?" asked John.
"Well, I guess Harold and I can throw down with Mr. and Ms. Scum of the Earth." said Leshawna.
"What did you say, 'Big, Loud and Proud'?" asked Heather.
"You heard me, 'peaking-in-high-school-prom queen'." said Leshawna.
And just before the two rivals could clash, Trent got in between them and said, "Ladies, let out that aggression on the dance floor, not here."
"Fine." said Heather.
"You better bring it, honey." said Leshawna.
"Please, with your dance skills, I don't need to try." said Heather.
An incensed Leshawna walked away before things could get worse.
"Okay, enough tension, let's begin the challenge. Our 1st round will be singing, so who wants to go first?" asked John.
Noah and Cody looked at each other before Cody shrugged his shoulders and said, "What the heck, I'll go first."
(Confessional)
"It's interesting to directly compete against Noah now that we're unofficially a 'thing'. I just hope things don't get all weird, like what happened with Trent and Gwen." said Cody.
(End Of Confessional)
Cody was now on stage, holding a microphone in his hands, while John and Trent were sitting at the judge's table.
"So, what am I allowed to sing?" asked Cody.
"Anything really. As long as it doesn't go off the rails." said John.
"You got this, Cody. Show everyone why you're a Drama Brother." said Trent.
(Confessional)
"Man, it's been a LONG time since I've been in this thing. Look, I know I acted a bit biased towards Cody but he's a fellow Drama Brother. Plus, he helped me get together with Gwen. The least I can do is root for him." said Trent.
(End Of Confessional)
Cody whispered to John and Trent about his song choice and composed himself before singing one of his favorite songs, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.
And like in World Tour, everyone was impressed with his singing ability, even though he didn't sing very much in that season. And there was also the fact that he should've been eliminated WAY SOONER than he was in that season since he didn't sing in most of the musical numbers he was in. Regardless of that fact, his performance earned him a strong ovation from his peers.
John and Trent talked with one another before they gave Cody their attention.
"Code-Meister, we knew you were going to bring it in this challenge, and you definitely didn't disappoint. We give you an 8 for your performance." said John.
Team Heroism cheered at this result, while Noah got a little worried as he knew it would be tough to outperform Cody. But he was going to try his best.
"And now, representing Team Villainy, Noah!" said John.
Right before Noah walked on stage, Duncan went up to him and said, "You got this, man."
Now fueled with confidence, Noah walked on stage and said, "I will be performing 'Creep' by Radiohead."
"Nice. You better do the song justice." said John.
Noah took a deep breath and began to sing. Before World Tour, no one had a clue that a sarcastic, cynical bookworm like Noah could sing, let alone have a decent singing voice. But he held his own during the musical numbers and now, he got to show off his singing voice again, without the threat of instant elimination.
When he was done, he got a round of applause from everyone, which gave him hope that his score would be better or at least on the same level as Cody's.
"Noah, that was a good performance. And while I liked what I heard, Trent and I are going to have to give you a 7. Your voice isn't the worst, but I think Cody just sounds better. Sorry." said John.
"I have to agree. You still did good though. You definitely have some talent." said Trent.
"Whatever." a disappointed Noah said before he walked off the stage.
Just as he started walking towards his teammates, Cody stopped him and said, "You were honestly really good. If you ask me, you should've gotten an 8 too."
Noah smiled at him and said, "Thanks."
When he got to his teammates, their facial expressions were a mix of anger and disappointment.
"Egghead, what happened out there?" asked Jo.
"Cody was just better than me." Noah answered.
"I told you all that I should've sung. I would've gotten us a 10 with ease." said Courtney.
"Yeah, way to blow it, shrimp." said Lightning.
"Guys, chill. We're only losing by 1 point. We can still win this. All we have to do is crush Heroism at guitar and dancing. And I know for a fact that we'll win at both." said Duncan.
"Yeah, we'll totally win with the guy who plays every 10th note and doesn't even try." Courtney said sarcastically.
"You're still mad about that?" asked Duncan.
"YES! I should've won that challenge! You only won because of Chris' bullshit rules!" said Courtney.
"Well guess what, Princess, I've been practicing in my spare time. Gwen can vouch for me." said Duncan.
"Yeah, Courtney, I've heard him play. He actually has some talent." said Gwen.
"Well, he better use it, or I'll take his guitar and smash it over his head." Courtney threatened.
"Easy, Courtney. Let's put that aggression towards the challenge and not Duncan." Scott said, calming Courtney down.
"Farm Boy's right. Better put that anger towards the guitar unless you want to get on my bad side." Duncan said, glaring at Courtney.
(Confessional)
"Is it me or is Duncan angry? Like…angrier than usual? Because I saw the way he looked at Courtney and…it was kind of scary. I'm worried about him." said Scott.
(End Of Confessional)
"Alright, it's now time for round 2. Guitar playing. First up, from Team Heroism, Zoey and Owen!" said John.
Zoey and Owen got up on the stage and announced that they were going to be performing 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC.
(Confessional)
"To be honest, I know we're not going to win the guitar round. I mean we're going up against Courtney. Did you see how she played in the 'Rock n' Rule' episode? I can't compete with that. The only way we can win is if Duncan and Courtney sabotage each other and break their guitars." said Zoey.
(End Of Confessional)
Once the music started, Zoey and Owen began to play. And although they were 100% certain they were going to lose to Duncan and Courtney, they still gave it their best effort. Plus, they wanted to play for fun and not to be the greatest guitar players of all time. When they were done, they got a nice ovation from their teammates.
"Alright, I appreciate a classic and I really appreciate it when said classic isn't butchered. Your performances were solid, so we're going to give you an 8." said John.
"Sweet." said Owen.
Zoey and Owen walked off the stage and went back to their teammates.
"Nice job, you two. That performance was a 10 in my book." said Brick.
"Thanks, Brick." said Zoey.
"It's too bad we're going up against Duncan and Courtney." said Harold.
"Harold, we'll be fine. Those two aren't even gonna get through the whole song without trying to kill each other." said Leshawna.
The team then noticed Dawn walking away and Brick asked, "Dawn, where are you going?"
"I'd rather not witness Duncan and Courtney's performance." said Dawn.
"You're sure?" asked Brick.
"I'm sure." said Dawn.
(Confessional)
"I didn't want to see Duncan and Courtney perform because I already knew how it was going to end. And it wasn't going to end well." said Dawn.
(End Of Confessional)
"Next up, from Team Villainy, Duncan and Courtney!" said John.
The ex-couple walked on stage, and both looked like they'd rather be anywhere else as long as it was away from each other.
"So, what will you two be performing for us?" asked John.
"System of a Down. 'Psycho'." said Duncan.
"Alright then. Proceed." said John.
The music started and Duncan and Courtney began playing their guitars. Now one would think the performance would be an utter disaster, as the two would purposely screw each other over. But that's not what happened. To everyone's surprise, the two played in sync and nailed all the notes. It helped that the two didn't look at each other once and instead got sucked into the music and used their bitter feelings towards each other as fuel.
While playing, Duncan noticed Trent and Gwen making eye contact, waving at each other, and Trent even winking at her, which only made Duncan play his guitar more aggressively. The guitar playing was intense from beginning to end and when the song was over, everyone was speechless.
"Wow, holy shit, that was…incredible." said John.
"Yeah, we'd give you a 15 if we could, but we can't, so you get a 10 from us." said Trent.
"Hear that, Princess? A 10. A fucking 10! And you thought I was going to choke." said Duncan.
"Oh please, I held back on purpose. If I really tried, I would've left you in the dust." said Courtney.
"Oh, so, you would've purposefully fucked us both over just to make yourself look good. Is that what I'm hearing?" asked Duncan.
Trent tried to de-escalate the situation by saying, "Guys, let's calm down.", but he was ignored.
"At least I would've shown off my true potential. Something you've never done in your life." said Courtney.
"At least I don't cry and whine over shit that happened YEARS AGO because your annoying ass can't handle the fact that you CAN'T WIN EVERYTHING!" Duncan struck back.
Duncan's comment struck a nerve, as Courtney grabbed her guitar and was about to swing it at Duncan. But Duncan knew she would hit him, so he used his guitar to strike back. In an instant, the two guitars collided and broke into pieces, before the two ex-lovers stood face-to-face, both enraged by each other's comments.
(Confessional)
"Well, I was half-right about the guitars breaking. Less so about the performance and the…fight that came after it." said Zoey.
(End Of Confessional)
For several tense seconds, Duncan and Courtney stared a hole through each other, but before things could get even more violent, they were separated by the other All-Stars.
"Stop! Both of you stop! All this fighting is unnecessary!" said Scott.
"Stay out of this, redneck! Or I'll make what Fang did to you look like a warmup!" said Duncan.
"Hey! Don't talk to him like that!" said Courtney.
"Duncan, what the hell is your problem?" asked Gwen.
"This show is my fucking problem! And by extension, so are all of you!" Duncan said before locking his eyes on Trent.
"But you. You're by far and away my biggest problem right now." Duncan said, going up to Trent.
"Why? What did I do?" asked Trent.
"Don't try to play innocent! I saw you making eye contact with Gwen! I saw you waving at her! Hell, I saw you wink at her!" said Duncan.
"Dude, that meant nothing. Why would I want to be the 'other guy' and take Gwen away from you?" replied Trent.
"Because you can't get over the fact you fucked up your relationship with her so badly." said Duncan.
"I fucked up? Okay, I hold some responsibility for that mess, but last I checked, you were the one who put it in her head that my number 9 thing was about her, when it never was. So, if anyone destroyed my relationship with her, it's you." said Trent.
"You know what? Good. I'm glad that relationship burned to the ground. Gwen deserved better than your OCD ass." said Duncan.
Everyone gasped at Duncan's vile comment and that comment earned him a hard slap in the face by Gwen. It took him several seconds to process what had just happened, and he looked back at the other All-Stars, who all looked at him with contempt and worry in their eyes. But instead of causing more drama, he walked away and went into the woods to cool off.
(Confessional)
"I don't know about anyone else, but man, what I saw was RATINGS GOLD. I know the executives are going to be giddy when I show them the footage." said John.
STATIC
"I've seen a lot of things on this show. Some good, some bad, and some straight-up nasty. But I don't think I've seen anything as bad as what happened with Duncan." said Leshawna.
STATIC
"Why does Duncan do this to himself? After 3 seasons, he should know better than to cause conflict with people. I honestly don't get why he likes drama so much. It's like he's addicted to it." said Noah.
STATIC
"Earlier today, I wasn't sure how to handle my relationship with Duncan. But after what he said about Trent, I know exactly what I need to do." said Gwen.
(End Of Confessional)
"Oh boy, that was…a lot. Let's try to reset and continue with the rest of the challenge, shall we? Leshawna and Harold, you're up next." said John.
Leshawna and Harold got on stage as John and Trent sat down at the judge's table.
"What song will you be dancing to today?" asked John.
"That song will be 'Holding Out for a Hero', the Shrek 2 version by Jennifer Saunders." said Harold.
"Alright. Whenever you're ready." said John.
Once the song got going, the couple began to dance, and their performance managed to defy expectations. Now, while Harold was a competent dancer, Leshawna was not. Her dancing usually made everyone cringe in embarrassment and in the World Tour Aftermath show, people were willing to donate large sums of money to the show just to stop her from dancing. But now, her dance skills have greatly improved, likely thanks to her and Harold taking dance classes together. The performance was far from perfect, but it wasn't the trainwreck everyone expected, which can be considered a victory in itself.
When they were done, they got a solid ovation from their teammates and were ready for John and Trent's score.
"To be honest, I wasn't expecting a lot but you two exceeded my expectations. Especially you Leshawna, you've really improved as a dancer." said Trent.
"Thank you, sugar." said Leshawna.
"Your performances were good but not great, so we're going to give you a 7." said John.
"That's okay, I guess." A deflated Harold said as he was hoping for a higher score.
"Alright, so the total score for Team Heroism is 23. Team Villainy, your total score is 17. All you need is 6 points to tie and 7 points to win. Heather and Alejandro, you're up." said John.
(Confessional)
"If I was going to get my 'special prize' from Heather, I needed to step up my game and dance like I've never danced before. Luckily, I had the perfect song in mind." said Alejandro.
(End Of Confessional)
Once on stage, Alejandro announced, "We will be dancing to 'Fever' by Perry Lee, the version used in Spider-Man 3."
"Interesting. So, the song used in the jazz club scene, right?" asked John.
"Yes." said Alejandro.
"Alright then." said John.
And when John pressed play on his laptop, the dancing began. It started slowly but once the song picked up, so did the dancing, as Alejandro and Heather wanted to show off in front of everyone. Their dancing was intense and sensual, and all the All-Stars were impressed at what they were seeing. It made them believe that the two were truly destined to be together, despite their less-than-stellar personalities.
By the time the song ended, Alejandro held Heather in his arms and the couple looked at each other with intense passion. And in the background, they received a massive ovation from their teammates.
"God damn, now that was some dancing. Bravo! You get a 10. Team Villainy wins the challenge!" said John.
Team Villainy (minus Duncan, who was still in the woods) celebrated, while Team Heroism were disappointed in themselves.
"Team Heroism, I'll see you later tonight." said John.
(Scene Change)
Team Heroism sat around the campfire and waited for the inevitable.
"Heroism, let's not waste any time. You know what to do." said John.
(Voting Booth)
"It's hard to choose because there's no obvious choice. No one really dropped the ball today. But I still have to pick someone." Zoey said before checking off a contestant.
STATIC
"This is easily the most difficult vote I've had to make on the show so far." Brick said before checking off a contestant.
STATIC
"Man, I hate voting people off. It feels so mean, especially with the teammates I have." Owen said before checking off a contestant.
STATIC
"It wouldn't feel right for me to vote off anyone who participated today. They did good. Now for those who didn't participate, they're fair game." Leshawna said before checking off a contestant.
STATIC
"Hmmm." Cody said before checking off a contestant.
STATIC
"I'm honestly less concerned about tonight's elimination and more concerned about Duncan, as weird as that sounds considering our history. I think he needs someone to talk to." Harold said before checking off a contestant.
(End Of Voting)
"And with…wow, okay, I wasn't quite expecting this." said John.
"You weren't quite expecting what?" asked Zoey.
"We have ourselves a tie!" John announced.
A shocked Team Heroism replied with, "WHAT?!"
"With 3 votes apiece, our tie is between Leshawna and Harold." said John.
Both Leshawna and Harold looked at John in surprise.
"A tie? Between the two of us? Harold, you better not have voted for me!" said Leshawna.
"I would never! Did you vote for me?" asked Harold.
"Of course not, honey. That would be way too cruel." said Leshawna.
"So, what do we do? Do we just vote again?" asked Brick.
"No, because that would be boring. Instead, we're going to do a tiebreaker. And that tiebreaker will be a Sudden Death Dance-Off!" said John.
(Confessional)
"Yeah, not the greatest idea I could've come up with, but with zero time or preparation, I had to come up with something." said John.
(End Of Confessional)
"Here's how this will work. When I start the music, you must dance. The first person to stop dancing gets eliminated. Sound simple?" said John.
"Sure." said Leshawna.
"Then start dancing." John said before he turned on the music, which was a playlist of Michael Jackson songs.
The dance-off lasted several minutes with Leshawna and Harold shaking it like they'd never shaken it before, just to stay in the game. But ultimately, Leshawna didn't have the same endurance as Harold as she stopped to catch her breath.
"And that's it! Sorry Leshawna, but you're eliminated." said John.
"I know. Just let…me catch…my breath." Leshawna said while panting.
(Scene Change)
Right before entering the helicopter, she said goodbye to her teammates and gave Harold a long goodbye kiss.
"I'll miss you." a saddened Harold said.
"I'll miss you too, baby. You'll see me again before you even know it." Leshawna said before entering the helicopter and leaving the island.
(Scene Change)
After a few hours in the woods, Duncan was ready to meet with his team again. He already knew they won, thanks to him hearing John's loud announcement about it, which meant he wasn't in danger of getting eliminated. But that didn't mean he was looking forward to seeing his team again. After what he said to Trent, there was a good chance that nearly everyone on the team was going to hate his guts.
He entered the Spa Hotel and saw his team looking at him. It looked like they had just had a meeting.
"What?" asked Duncan.
"Duncan, while you were gone, we had a team meeting. And as a group, we have decided that you're not going to sleep here tonight. You're sleeping outside." said Heather.
"Outside?" asked Duncan.
"Yeah, you were pretty awful today. You went too far with what you said to Trent." said Scott.
Duncan then looked at Gwen, whose look told him that she wasn't even going to try to back him up.
"You know what? FINE. I don't want to be near any of you anyway." Duncan said before going to his room to grab a sleeping bag and his belongings.
When he left the hotel, Noah followed him and said, "Just to let you know, I was the only one who didn't want you to sleep outside. I tried to convince them to let you stay, but I was severely outnumbered."
Duncan didn't say anything, but he did silently appreciate Noah sticking up for him, even if he didn't deserve it.
"If you want, I could sleep out here with you. That way you're not alone out here." said Noah.
"Noah, it's my punishment. It's my fuck up. I deserve to be out here, and I don't want to drag you down with me." said Duncan.
"Whatever you say." Noah said before going back inside.
(Scene Change)
Alejandro was outside Heather's room when he knocked on her door.
She opened the door and said, "You're here to see if you're getting your prize or not, correct?"
"Si, mi amor." said Alejandro.
"Well, you did indeed impress me with your dance moves. So, I guess you earned your prize." Heather said before pulling up her top, exposing her breasts to Alejandro, who looked at her in awe.
After a few seconds, Heather put her top back on and said, "That's all you're getting. For now. Your nose is bleeding by the way.", before closing the door.
Despite the nosebleed, Alejandro was the happiest he had ever been and fought the urge to jump for joy.
"Today was a good day." said Alejandro.
(Scene Change)
Trent was ready to leave the island after talking with John and as he was walking towards the boat formerly known as 'The Boat of Losers', Gwen stopped him with a hug.
"Gwen, what's going on?" asked Trent.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for everything. I was such an asshole to you. I never should've listened to Duncan about the number 9 thing. Breaking up with you was one of the worst decisions of my life and…I'm just so sorry." Gwen said while crying.
Trent comforted her and said, "Hey, it's okay. To be honest, I should've told you about my OCD in advance. That was completely on me."
"Trent, I'm breaking up with Duncan." said Gwen.
Shocked, Trent said, "What? I thought you really liked him."
"I thought so too. But he crossed the line when he mocked your disorder, and I don't want to be with him anymore. I want to be with you again if you're not seeing anyone." said Gwen.
"I'm not. Been single for a while." said Trent.
"Good. Trent, I really want to be with you again. I want us to try again and not make the same stupid mistakes. My love for you never really died after our breakup. I thought being with Duncan would fix that but…it didn't." said Gwen.
"I get it. I dated plenty of girls but none of them had the same connection we had, so I totally get it. And it would be nice to be with you again." said Trent.
The two looked at each other and smiled before Trent asked, "Wait, does Duncan know about this?"
"Not yet. I plan on telling him. I'm just not sure when." said Gwen.
"Well, it needs to be soon if we're going to get together again. I don't want you making the same mistake he made in World Tour when he hooked up with you behind Courtney's back. You're better than that. Okay?" said Trent.
"Okay." Gwen said before hugging Trent again.
"I love you." said Gwen.
"I love you too." said Trent.
Once the hug was over, Trent got on the boat and left the island.
In the distance, John looked at the camera and said, "Man, what an episode! And it seems like Duncan's time here is only going to get worse now that Gwen is ready to dump him for Trent. And there's also that fact that Leshawna's gone, meaning Team Heroism just lost a strong player. Will this result in a new losing streak? Or will all the drama in Team Villainy give them an advantage? Find out next time on Total Drama All-Stars."
Hope you enjoyed the chapter. This came out later than I wanted to because I've been VERY busy at work, but I think it turned out fine. So, things are looking bad for Duncan. But don't worry, it's only going to get worse in the next chapter. Much worse. Also, Leshawna is now gone but after what happens in the next chapter, she'll be glad she left. I decided to do a tiebreaker instead of a proper elimination because I thought it would be more interesting. Speaking of the next chapter, it will feature a challenge from World Tour and that challenge is best known for a song about building Gwen's face so stay tuned. Other than that, I hope you all have a wonderful day. Bye for now and stay safe.
