Episode Two: In Your Dreams
Chris stands on the dock, "Previously on Total Drama Brain Vs Brawn Vs Beauty, we met the contestants and did a relay race. People got hit by meatballs a lot, Mollie beat up Benjamin, Nina put on makeup and Jackson blew the challenge for the Beauty team. However, he convinced the girls to save him and the resident skater boy went home. Who will be injured next, find out now on Total Drama Brain vs Brawn Vs Beauty!"
The intro plays, it starts with Emerald floating in the sea, she's taken out of the moment by Terry talking to himself. Alec reads his book on the sun chair while Jackson is sunbathing. The camera pans over to the forest where Benjamin is solving a puzzle, Jamie watches then solves it faster. Nearby, Phoebe is meditating. In the mess hall, Chef is cooking his food, Nina applies make-up to Gwenda's face and then grimaces at the result. On the next seat over, Lee is arguing with Mollie. As the camera pans outside, Charles is showing off his muscles on the dock while Sally and Allison watch him. Meanwhile, Danny does his skating tricks for a while until Chris pours water on him and we see at the campfire, Penny and Toby go to kiss but Wendy pops her head up, watching awkwardly.
The scene starts in the Brawn deluxe cabin. "This is the life." says Mollie, "Anything that isn't this just sucks." Lee rolls his eyes,
"Back in my day, we didn't have these elaborate-"
"Shut up, Grandpa!" Mollie roars and he glares. The two continue to bicker as downstairs, Emerald, Allison, Charles and Terry are talking. "So, what sports do you play, Terry?" asks Charles. "I mainly do Ice Hockey, I'm a goalie. The puck's all like "Ooh, I'm goin' in the goal" and then I'm all like, "No, you don't." Allison looks very confused and asks,
"What do you do, Emerald?"
"I don't do Sports, it's way too competitive." This is when Charles speaks up,
"No, it's fun." She shrugs,
"Just a difference of opinion."
The scene zooms out and pans over to the Brain cabin, "This place sucks." Benjamin says, simply. Phoebe speaks up, "Is this really a place? What makes a place a place? Is a random bit of the sea a place?" She continues as it cuts to a confessional from Alec.
"She has been going at the philosophy all night, it is exhausting." Downstairs, Jamie is quietly attending to Maths problems but Benjamin comes down, "Nice try, kid but I can do that way better." He grabs it off him and ends up struggling and throwing it away. Jamie becomes sad.
The scene pans over to the Beauty cabin. "So, Jackson. I saw you in those films, you're so pretty…. Great at acting. Yeah, pretty great at acting." Nina says, awkwardly. He just smirks at the camera. Downstairs, Toby is talking to Penny. "Wow, I never knew you were so intelligent, Toby." He shrugs,
"Not just a pretty face." He laughs at his own joke as does Penny. In confessional, Penny says,
"I didn't think I'd meet anyone of the same level of intellect as me but Toby seems pretty close."
Chris calls the 17 remaining contestants to the next challenge. "Today, losers, you'll have to live your nightmare. You will have to put on virtual reality goggles and live a nightmare but you can give up at any time, the team with the most people that make it wins immunity. But, I have a twist, anyone can quit the challenge now to try and find a Chris Head. Put your hand up if you would like to." Wendy, Gwenda and Jackson raise their hands and run off into the forest. "First up, Charles!"
The screen immerses us in his nightmare. He goes to the gym and tries to do a bench press. He tries but can't lift it, he's stuck on it, he can't get out, it's impossible. His muscles shrink, he starts to pant, scared. "Help!" he shouts but no one hears. His hyperventilating continues but he makes it through the nightmare giving one point to the Brawn team.
"Benjamin, you're next!" His nightmare begins, he's just doing a puzzle but as he finishes it, it's Mollie's face and she comes out of it and starts attacking him. "Help! Help! Stop it!" The nightmare ends and as he chickened out, the Brain team is still on zero points.
"Toby, you're up!" His nightmare starts, he's in the dark. "Hello?" He shouts, "Hello?" There is no answer but Penny walks up to him. "Oh, hi." He's interrupted by Penny pushing him to the floor, "What are you doing?" She continues to attack him, "Stop it! Stop it!" The nightmare ends and the Beauty team is still on zero points.
Meanwhile, in the forest, Wendy and Gwenda are talking. "Listen, Wendy." She nods, "We are clearly the two most intelligent people on this team, we need to team up." She nods again, "I'm in." She smirks and they continue to try and look for a Chris Head.
"Lee, your turn." His nightmare starts on a Rugby field. He's younger, he's running down the field in the finals of the tournament. He's about to score but is about to be tackled to the ground, "Help! I can't do it!" The nightmare ends and leaves the Brawn team on 1 point.
Back in the forest, Jackson is looking around, under bushes, under trees. That is until he hears the faint voice of Gwenda, he begins to try and spy on them and hears them talking. "This alliance needs a game plan." says Wendy. Jackson silently gasps and has a confessional. "Gwenda and Wendy have an alliance, huh? Interesting."
"Terry, nightmare time." In his nightmare, there's a walking shark. "Hello, Terrance, come and play with us." He runs but a raccoon jumps out of the volcano and hits him in his third arm, it grabs onto it but the talking cloud saves him. That's when he falls into the deep, deep pit of jelly, before he gets to the bottom, he wakes up. The Brawn team is brought to two points.
It's time for Alec's nightmare. He's going down a long corridor and arrives to see two people with button eyes, "We're your other parents, Alec." He screams and screams, "Let me out! Let me out!" He wakes up from his nightmare and the Brain team is still on zero points.
Penny's nightmare comes next, she's in a court, representing an accused killer. "I-" she's interrupted by people throwing blonde wigs at her, more and more, she cries and sobs and runs away but sticks out the nightmare. This brings the Beauty team to 1 point.
Meanwhile, in the forest, Wendy and Gwenda are still searching for the Chris Head. "I found it!" exclaims Gwenda as Wendy quickly shushes her to avoid Jackson hearing. They both smirk and begin to discuss strategy. "Here's the deal," Gwenda whispers, "If one of us is going to get eliminated, we use it. I'll hold onto it unless you want to." She shrugs and they walk away.
It's time for Mollie's nightmare. She's playing Football with all the pro male athletes, she runs but trips over as everyone laughs at her. "Shut up!" she shouts and tries to attack them but falls over her own feet again and a giant red card smacks her in the face. "Help! Let me out!" The nightmare ends which means the Brawn team remains on two points.
This is when we get back to Jackson wandering around. He has a confessional, "This game is very interesting so far. I'm not sure when I'll expose the alliance of Wendy and Gwenda but I'll get around to it. I've already got my puppets: Sally, Penny and especially Nina. This game is going my way."
It cuts to the nightmare of Allison. She's getting eaten alive by spiders, she tries to run but they just drag her back, cobwebs are everywhere, getting in her mouth. Mollie is in front of her and just laughs at her powerlessness. She screams, "Let me out!" The nightmare ends as the Brawn team is still on a mere two points.
Jamie's nightmare begins. He's in a high school with lots of older children, they all start to shove him back and forth and onto the ground. "Nerd!" one of them shouts as they stamp on him. He seems scared but gets through it and brings the Brain team up to one point.
Then, Nina's nightmare starts. She's applying her makeup to the mirror but it burns, it lights her face on fire, "Help!" It burns and burns until her face has deformed into a long face with burnt eyes, replaced by pieces of coal. "Help! Let me out!" The nightmare ends as the Beauty team is still on a mere one point.
It goes back to Gwenda and Wendy who continue to discuss strategies. "First target?" asks Wendy, "Jamie's smart, too smart but it might be hard to get the votes. However, getting votes for Phoebe, now that would be really easy." Wendy nods, affirmatively. The two villains both smirk as they walk deeper into the forest.
It cuts to Emerald's nightmare next. She's wrestling in a competition. She slams her opponent on the floor, "Ow!" they yell as they're severely injured. She starts to apologise and babble but doesn't leave the nightmare despite starting to cry and the dream ends as she brings the Brawn team up to an impressive three points.
Phoebe's nightmare comes next. She's stuck onto a track, she sees a train coming at a full speed towards her. There's a lever to the side of her, if she pulls it, it will divert the train to run over five people. She screams and screams, "Let me out!" The dream ends and the Brain team has a final score of one point from Jamie.
The final nightmare we see is from Sally. She's on the top of a volcano with Nina. She's laughing and jokingly shoves her in as she continues to laugh. Sally screams and shrieks but sticks out the bad dream until it ends right before she touches the lava. This resilience brings the Beauty team to 2 points and the Brain team loses the challenge. "See you at the elimination!" says Chris.
Wendy and Gwenda casually walk past Benjamin with a distinct smirk resting on the latters face. "Hey, Benjamin." says Gwenda, he nods, "I'm surprised you didn't survive the nightmare, after all, you are the second smartest player on this team after Phoebie." He begrudgingly thanks her but instantly becomes very angry. The two walk away, the smirk resting comfortably on Gwenda's face still.
It cuts to the marshmallow ceremony, Chef starts, "Benjamin, you've been arrogant this whole game but lost the challenge unlike the literal child. Phoebe, Alec, I can say the same for you. But at least you tried rather than ditching the challenge for a chance at safety like a certain two girls here. Jamie, you're the only one that's safe." Chris throws a marshmallow to Jamie, "Marshmallows also go to Alec, Wendy.. Gwenda." Benjamin smiles, confidently but Phoebe has barely even noticed the tension or at least isn't bothered. "The final marshmallow of the night goes to…. Benjamin." The former smirks while the latter seems sad and walks down the dock, disappointed.
Chris does his outro, "The nightmare challenge may be over but the nightmares are still far from over, who will go next, how will Wendy and Gwendas alliance fair and will Nina ever talk about anything other than makeup, I can tell you the last one but if to find out the others, tune in next time for Total Drama Brain vs Brawn Vs Beauty!"
ELIMINATED CONTESTANT THOUGHTS
"I didn't expect to go like this but then again, I wonder what I could've done differently. Or maybe everything that ever has happened and will happen is already predetermined and we have no real free will. I'm not sure but regardless, I can certainly say that I hope I will be back, goodbye."
POST CREDITS SCENE
Benjamin has a confessional, "Ever since I heard that stuff about Phoebe being smarter than me, I organised her elimination, I managed to convince Alec easily, I'm a genius!" Gwenda gets her confessional and smiles, "I'm a genius."
