For the first time in three weeks, the story of the players in game continues! Sorry if this chapter is weird due to the delay, I struggled a lot writing this episode which reflects in the time it took to come out.
Lacueva- Maybe I need to have everyone see their fan reception fr
Vladiator- There will be more than 2 loser lounge episodes
Mortal01- Is this Chet love ironic? I have no idea if you're actually a fan or joking atp but I love it.
Jaron58- Thanks
CMC- Yeah, I wanted to give the early boots a little more time to shine in loser episodes
Peregrine- Wow, two big reviews in one! Thank you for that, rereading them helped a lot to keep motivation. I took your advice with the y'all thing this episode I believe, I just always use it which was my mistake lol. I try to give everyone a little something. Not all of it is great and not everyone gets a major focus (looking at you Carrie) but I try. I'm proud of somehow having Staci be one of the most popular characters so far. People think about shipping more than I do tbh, but I'd be on the lookout for some ships this season.
Johnathan1209- I won't reveal the finale format yet, that will be a surprise for now! Muhahaha! The merge will take a while to happen, you're correct about that one. Agreed on Rodney, and we're finally getting back into the game!
fayt22- Ask and you shall receive! I doubt there will be a return but I can change my mind
The challenge was altered a bit to be team format, but this challenge was from Mortal01
Recap
"Last time on Total Drama Ultimate… the campers got into a massive water balloon fight in an episode with a major twist. The first two teams to lose all of their members would be up for elimination, but the winner of the fight overall would choose an additional two teams to join them, making four eliminations. Staci took out Alejandro to put the Green Team in the danger zone, while Tammy took out Bowie to do the same to the Yellow Team. Sky ended up outlasting the rest and chose the Lime and Red teams to also send them to the campfire ceremony since they haven't lost a challenge yet. On Green, Sam was sent home in a 5-3 vote when the Revenge alliance couldn't convince Miles to flip to their side. On Yellow, Bowie, Emma23, and Raj joined the Goths to send Carrie home in a move that's been a long time coming. On Lime Team, Rodney was sent home unanimously after everyone got tired of him. And finally, Scott gave his idol to Max, who bluffed the team into thinking he was playing it, causing a mad scramble of those not in the 'evil alliance'. Using Brick's annoyance against Brody as their lifeline, Scott, Courtney, and Max managed to pull off the 4-3-2-1 plurality vote in impressive fashion without needing to use their idol! 80 remain, who will go home in this episode?"
Intro
Day 19
Cut to Red Team
We see the Red Team together in the morning. Things are not exactly sunshine and rainbows, as the atmosphere is intense. "So… should we talk about the elimination?" Bridgette suggests.
"Sure…" Geoff replies in a sad tone. The whole team gathers in a circle.
"Does anyone have anything to say?" Bridgette asks.
…
"You fools tried to vote me out, I demand an apology!" Max yells out.
"Sorry man, you just aren't that helpful." Geoff explains, prompting a gasp from Max.
"How DARE you! I still have my idol though, so try to vote me out and I'll send you home to your friend!"
Confessional: Scott
Scott pulls out the Red Team idol. "He actually gave it back to me, but if the team thinks he has the idol instead, that opens up the Evil Alliance options. Hehe, the plan last night was easier than taking candy from a baby… a human baby I mean, the farm animals are territorial about food."
Conf end
"Let's establish who voted for who. Raise your hand if you voted for Brody." Harold requests. Scott, Max, Courtney, and Brick raise their hands. Harold looks shocked to see Brick's hand raised. "Brick? You betrayed our all- I mean, why did you vote for Brody?"
Courtney rolls her eyes, knowing what Harold was about to say. "The rest of you have an alliance? Figures."
"Oh please, you, Scott, and Max are clearly allied if you voted together." Harold responds.
"That's not true! I voted for Brody because he kidnapped a child, that's pretty severe!" Courtney replies.
"We didn't know he had the idol, we were going to vote for him until he pulled it out" Scott rolls his eyes.
"BOTH OF YOU WILL RUE THE DAY YOU CONSIDERED VOTING FOR ME!" Max acts offended, though he knows that isn't true.
"The kidnapping is why I voted for him." Brick informs. "Imagine how the poor mother was feeling when her kid wasn't there! I took the choice that felt morally correct over strategy, I'm sorry if I upset anyone with my vote last night."
"It's fine." Bridgette says. "Even as Brody's friend, I don't condone what he did with the baby. Now who voted for Max?"
Bridgette raises her hand, along with Geoff. After a moment of hesitation, Leshawna joins them while shooting an apologetic look at Harold's way.
Confessional: Leshawna
"Yeah, I'm lying. I voted for Courtney, but I would rather have Max upset with me than her. Courtney is a stronger player."
Conf end
Confessional: Max
"Those three are TOAST!"
Conf end
"Who voted for me?" Courtney asks. "Don't raise your hand Harold, I already know one of the votes was from you."
Harold rolls his eyes as no one else raises their hand. "Guess Brody was the other Courtney vote. That leaves Devin as Scott's voter?"
"Yeah. Not sorry." Devin shrugs, getting an annoyed glance from the farmer.
Confessional: Devin
"I wish the others joined in and voted with me…"
Conf end
Confessional: Bridgette
"About the vote, I'm not mad about it despite my disappointment of Brody leaving. Geoff has taken it surprisingly well too, he hasn't cried!"
Conf end
Confessional: Geoff
We cut to Geoff crying in the confessional. "Brody, we will party when we meet again!"
Conf end
Confessional: Courtney
"Everything went as planned last night and I'm riding high! I thought Scott was crazy for what he suggested, but it worked out as planned." Courtney says before smiling. "This feels better than in All Stars, we don't get into petty arguments anymore. Maybe we can… nevermind. Anyways, I'll have to thank Brick later. If the others are allied, I'll have to flip Brick to our side."
Conf end
Confessional: Brick
"I'm glad everyone understood my vote and didn't try to say Brody's actions were justified."
Conf end
Confessional: Harold
"Everything is unraveling, but I managed to find out who voted for who! Brick was a mole in our alliance, he's the new Owen. I'm surprised that Leshawna didn't vote for Courtney, but I guess she was right to call Max's bluff. She's always so smart!"
Conf end
Cut to Green Team
We see Josee and Alejandro picking up firewood together. "This team is a disgrace." Josee shakes her head. "Other than the Blue Team, we're the worst in the competition!"
"I'm aware, but we got rid of Sam, things should look up from here." Alejandro assures.
"Will they? Last I checked, Sam wasn't the one who got eliminated from the challenge by STACI of all people!" Josee says.
Alejandro's eye twitches. "I was outnumbered and the only one on our team left, she is not better than me. I outlasted the rest of you, so don't try to blame the loss on me."
"I'm not, I just needed to point out that you lost to Staci." Josee replies, getting a groan from Alejandro.
Confessional: Alejandro
"I'm never going to live that down, am I?"
Conf end
Confessional: Josee
"If I lost to Staci, I would drown myself in the lake. Good thing she wouldn't have a shot of beating me in anything."
Conf end
We cut to see Miles and Nichelle talking by the lake as they get water. "I don't think I've thanked you properly for voting with us the past two eliminations." Nichelle says. "So I'm gonna go ahead and do that. Thanks for sticking with us."
"No problem, I was never going to flip against you guys. Even if I did, Sam wasn't going to beat Josee, so you would've been fine." Miles says.
"True that!" Nichelle laughs. "He wouldn't be able to beat me either."
"Right." Miles feeds into Nichelle's ego. "Anyways, so now we outnumber Dakota and Mike 5-2. We can easily pick them off next."
"Yup."
"However we should be thinking further ahead than just those two." Miles says.
"What do you mean?" Nichelle questions.
"Well once those two are gone, it will be just us five. We need a plan in case we keep losing. How about we have an alliance within an alliance. You, me, and Shawn can pick off Alejandro and Josee AFTER Mike and Dakota." Miles offers.
Nichelle looks at Miles and smirks. "Smart thinking! I'm in!"
Confessional: Miles
"I've noticed that the other members of my alliance are basically two pairs forming a superteam. Nichelle and Shawn are one pair, Alejandro and Josee are the other. I want to make myself the swing vote, so I'll make the same offer to both duos! I need to be strategic, those animal charities won't fundraise themselves!"
Conf end
Confessional: Nichelle
"What Miles is offering sounds smart. I am trying to work on a relationship with Josee as well, so I think I have a ton of power in our majority. Speaking of, we really need a better alliance name than the counter alliance…"
Conf end
Mike, Dakota, and Shawn are together in the camp. None of them are talking, though Dakota is glaring at Shawn. Shawn soon takes notice. "Uh… can you stop glaring at me Dakota?" Shawn requests.
"Oh sorry, I needed my awesome girlfriend moment of being mad that you voted out my man."
…
"Ok then." Shawn shrugs. Things fall back into silence. Shawn looks around and makes eye contact with Mike. They share a look for a few seconds before Mike sighs and walks over to Shawn.
"Hey…" he says while sitting down next to Shawn.
"Uh hey Mike, how are you?"
"Not good, you were right that something was wrong with me." Mike frowns. "I talked to Zoey yesterday and I feel like I should explain what's wrong instead of bottling up my feelings."
Dakota overhears this and rushes over to the duo. "I just have a feeling whatever you're going to say will get screen time and I need to be in the shot when it happens." she says, getting blank looks from the boys.
"I don't want to go into too much detail, but remember the truth challenge?" Mike asks.
"I do, Chris exposed that I put people in the hospital!" Dakota says.
"Chris exposed me nearly killing my dad- sorry, that's not relevant. What about it?" Shawn questions.
"...remember the question about the… abuse?"
…
Dakota and Shawn share a concerned look, knowing what Mike means. "Oh…" Shawn mutters.
"Yeah…" Mike replies back with shaky breath. The trio sit in silence for a bit, Mike composing himself while Shawn and Dakota are unsure of what to say. "I've been fixing my life the past few years with Zoey and have been trying to forget about all that. It getting brought up again for the sake of a challenge rattled me. My brain was flooded with those bad memories, and I've been less talkative because I've been trying to deal with those emotions."
Dakota and Shawn sit in silence for a bit, neither knowing how to respond. "I'm sorry to hear that happened to you…" Dakota says.
"It's fine, it isn't your fault. Sorry for being a bit of a downer the past few days. I don't want to go into details about what my family did to me on national tv, but I hope that explains my behavior..."
"No need to apologize!" Shawn assures. "We won't press you for details, but thanks for sharing that with us."
Confessional: Dakota
"I didn't know what I was expecting Mike to say, but it wasn't that…"
Conf end
Confessional: Mike
"Yeah… I hate this show for bringing that back up, but I need to refocus and not let the past haunt me."
Conf end
Confessional: Shawn
"I hope I did a good job at comforting Mike, being a people person isn't really my strong suit… but wow, I feel bad for the guy."
Conf end
Cut to Gray Team
"Do we really have to do this?" Axel questions Heather as the two make their way to find a certain someone. "Allying with him sounds like torture! On Playa De Losers, he would not stop talking about himself the entire time."
"I don't like him either, but we need numbers!" Heather responds. Axel rolls her eyes, but she knows that Heather is right. After a few minutes, the duo find Chase laying on the ground while posing. "What is he doing…"
"Feeling himself probably." Axel sighs. "Let's talk to him."
Axel and Heather walk up to Chase. "Hi…" Heather starts. Chase doesn't respond. "Hello, are you going to just ignore us?"
Chase looks up. "Oh, I was thinking about how great I'm looking today and didn't notice you."
"You? Thinking about yourself? I'm very shocked." Heather sarcastically replies.
"Why? I thought everyone thinks about me all the time." Chase responds. It takes everything in Heather's soul to not show her discontent out loud. "Do you need something?"
"We wanted to form an alliance." Axel says.
"Makes sense, who DOESN'T want to ally with me?" Chase smirks.
"A lot of people probably." Axel rolls her eyes. "But do you accept?"
"Ok… I'll join you. Can we vote out Blaineley though?" Chase requests.
"Can we vote out Blaineley?" Heather repeats. "Say no more, we need that washed up hag gone!"
Confessional: Chase
"I guess since Ripper left, working with those two isn't a bad choice. They're not nearly as cool and Axel freaks me out a little bit, but I do need followers to vote my way!"
Conf end
Confessional: Heather
"Chase is annoying, but he is also a player with no connections. Players like that are always a good choice to work with because they don't have any options but to do what you say. He probably thinks that he is the brains of the operation considering his ego is bigger than Owen, but whatever."
Conf end
Confessional: Axel
"I had to go with Heather's idea after not voting out Blaineley like she wanted the past few eliminations. Chase sucks but I'll work with him… we have to be unified in case of an attack."
Conf end
Cut to Purple Team
We see Lindsay, Cody, Tyler, and MacArthur in the camp. Lindsay is telling Cody and Tyler a story. "And like then she was all OMG, you cannot wear that lip gloss as it isn't your color! But then I was all 'I can pull off ANY color and make it work'! I think that's cute character development on my part, I used to be unconfident in some colors, haha!"
MacArthur rolls her eyes at the story but doesn't comment. Cody and Tyler don't seem too invested but are listening to be polite. Tyler especially has already heard this story countless times, but Lindsay always forgets that she already told it before.
"Ok so anyways, I totally rocked it! She was soooo jealous of me!" Lindsay continues. WIth that, MacArthur walks off in annoyance.
As MacArthur is walking off, she sees Damien walking up to camp with a nervous look upon seeing her. "Hey Mac… how are ya?"
"Good. What were you doing?" MacArthur interrogates.
"Uh- nothing!"
"You seem suspicious, tell me what you did." MacArthur says firmly
"Using the bathroom!" Damien replies. He walks away after that and MacArthur narrows her eyes.
Confessional: MacArthur
"Pfft, he was trying to lie. Nothing gets past me! He is still looking for that idol when it should rightfully be mine, but he isn't the only problem. Lindsay's personality is really… annoying. Who cares about lip gloss? I have plenty of options if we lose."
Conf end
Confessional: Damien
"Being around Mac is like walking on eggshells… but I'm starting to get seriously annoyed about the idol, I can't find it. I know Zee doesn't have it as he would've told me if he did. MacArthur is being so aggressive about where people go that I doubt she or Sanders have it. Of the remaining choices… it has to be Chet! Cody doesn't seem like the type to look, and I don't think Lindsay or Tyler are capable of finding an idol, no offense to them…"
Conf end
Cut to Blue Team
The whole team is together by the campfire, all but Ella eating some squirrels that Dwayne killed. "I'm impressed Dwayne, you're a pretty good hunter!" Tammy compliments with a smile.
"Thanks! I am the man of the team after all, I had to take charge of the hunting!" Dwayne replies.
Julia looks annoyed but doesn't say anything. "Yeah, you're just so fantastic." she says sarcastically, though Dwayne doesn't pick up on it.
"I could try to teach you all how to kill a squirrel if you want to learn how." Dwayne offers.
"I'll pass." Ella declines. "I'd rather not murder an animal, they are my friends."
"I already know how to lay out traps." MK says. "Squirrels were all over the place where I lived, I looked up how to kill them so they'd stop annoying me."
"I know how to watch MK lay out traps, so I'm basically just as good." Julia shrugs. The four people who ate have now all finished a squirrel, but there is still one more left.
"There's still one left… I'm still hungry, is it okay if I have it?" Tammy asks, causing Dwayne to chuckle.
"Not shocked you still want more!" Dwayne laughs. "But sure, you can have it!"
Tammy frowns at the comment while Ella turns towards Dwayne. Julia and MK stifle their laughter, no one noticing their amusement. "What do you mean?" Tammy questions.
"I'm just saying, you look like the type to want more food. That's fine though, I caught enough!" Dwayne replies, unaware of the insulting tone. Tammy's frown deepens before she walks off, earning Dwayne a glare from Ella. "What did I say?"
"That wasn't a nice thing to say, Dwayne." Ella disapproves, walking after Tammy. Julia follows her, wanting to keep up the facade of caring about Tammy.
"What's her deal?" Dwayne asks MK as they're the only two still at camp.
"Ignore her, they're being sensitive." MK replies. "We should send Ella out next, she doesn't like you."
Dwayne nods in agreement. "I gathered that, but I'd like to know what I did wrong this time!"
Confessional: Dwayne
"I let her have the extra squirrel…"
Conf end
Confessional: MK
"I'm going to continue to brew that conflict with Dwayne and Ella. The more problems those two have, the easier it will be for Julia and I to keep our stranglehold on the team."
Conf end
Confessional: Tammy
"Yeah if we lose, Dwayne is done. I doubt he was malicious or trying to be rude there, but he has a tendency to make insulting comments."
Conf end
Cut to Lime Team
We see Jo, Ellody, Sierra, Junior, Lightning, and Wayne all together in the forest. "What did you call us here for?" Ellody questions Jo, the woman who organized this get together.
"It has been nearly three weeks here and I'm sure you all have noticed that Ryan, Stephanie, and Eva are a trio." Jo replies.
"So this is an alliance?" Ellody asks.
"...you're really observant, huh?" Jo comments before nodding. "Yes, I'm saying that the six of us should work together."
"Well… it does benefit all of us. I'm in." Ellody agrees.
"I'm in too!" Sierra claps, happy to join her #1 ally.
"Same." Junior says.
"HOOT HOOT!" Wayne cries out.
"...huh." Jo deadpans.
"That means yes."
"Oh. Anyways, what about you Lightning?" Jo asks.
"Sure, now let Lightning get back to his run!" Lightning says before running off. Jo gives a satisfied smile.
Confessional: Lightning
"Has Jo lost her mind? What is she doing? We should be working with Eva, Stephanie, and Ryan, not with weak teammates like Ellody and Junior!"
Conf end
Confessional: Jo
"I've been planning this for a while. I made alliances with Wayne, Lightning, and Junior. Ellody and Sierra seem unconnected so I added them too and formed a supergroup. I'm going to try to form a separate trio with those two so I have full control over every person in the alliance."
Conf end
Confessional: Junior
"I thought I was going to be the first boot on this team… things have been going way better than I could have imagined!"
Conf end
Confessional: Ellody
"I'm glad this came along. I'm happy to be allied with Junior specifically. If he's on the team, I'm never the weakest member."
Conf end
Cut to Yellow Team
The vibe at camp is a bit awkward. Crimson and Ennui are sitting silently in the shade away from everyone else in the camp. Bowie is mindlessly stroking Raj's hair while drawing on the ground with a stick as Noah looks on, the gears in his head turning after last night's elimination.
"I need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." Raj tells Bowie as he gets up and leaves. Noah takes this opportunity to walk over to Bowie.
"Hey." Noah says dryly. Bowie looks up.
"Hey…" Bowie replies, the aforementioned awkwardness hitting hard here. "So… about last night and blindsiding Carrie… I'm sorry, but-"
"It's fine." Noah interrupts. "I understand why you did it."
"Oh." Bowie raises an eyebrow, shocked at the response. "Really?"
"Yeah, I'm not upset." Noah says. "I just wanted you to know that things won't be awkward around camp."
"Well… that's good." Bowie smiles.
Confessional: Bowie
"That's odd. I expected fireworks after we voted Carrie out, but no one seemed too upset. The lack of drama has me on edge, there must be a plan! When I was running for prom king and queen, my opponents would act like things were good when they were secretly bad mouthing me behind my back. I'll keep my eye on Noah, Owen, and Kitty."
Conf end
Confessional: Noah
"I wasn't lying, I'm not mad they voted out Carrie. Getting mad at people for making logical game decisions seems pointless to me. Though while I'm not mad, I'm also not going to lay down and let me, Kitty, and Owen get picked off. Emma needs us and while I wasn't that excited to play this season, I know Owen and Kitty were. So for the first time on Total Drama… I'm not going to play passively, I need to actively find a crack to exploit."
Conf end
Elsewhere, we see Emma23 and Kitty walking. "Again, I'm SO sorry for voting out Carrie-"
"Emma, stop apologizing." Kitty replies. "You've been apologizing for the past hour, I'm not even upset."
"Sorry for apologizing so much- crap I did it again!" Emma says, getting a laugh out of Kitty. "I wanted to apologize because I usually don't get those when I'm betrayed in these games. Chase voted me out of Outlaster on Roblox and LAUGHED at me afterwards, can you believe it?!"
"Yes… I definitely can believe that." Kitty replies. "About Chase… girl to girl, you need to move on from him."
Emma gives a confused look. "What do you mean? I have moved on, I barely think of him."
Kitty stifles a laugh. "You mention him like 20 times a day."
"I USED TO MENTION HIM 100 TIMES, I'VE IMPROVED!" Emma defends herself.
"Yeahhhh, sure." Kitty drawls.
Emma sighs, knowing that Kitty is right. "Ok fine… how do I move on though?"
"Finding someone else!" Kitty smiles.
"Out here?" Emma questions.
"Yeah!"
Emma frowns. "I don't think there is anyone for me on this team. Bowie and Raj are gay and dating, Noah is with the worse Emma-"
"You're talking about my sister…"
"Oops! Anyways, he is with your sister and Ennui is with Crimson." Emma says.
"You're forgetting someone." Kitty replies.
"Oh… Owen… I'm not sure about him." Emma sighs.
"Why? He's a nice guy… unlike Chase."
"WAIT THAT'S TRUE!" Emma shrieks. "People who aren't like Chase are ideal! Where is Owen, we need to talk!"
"I think he's by the lake-" Kitty tries to say before she sees Owen walking by. "Nevermind, he's right there! How convenient!"
Emma runs up to Owen. "Hey-" is all she can get out before Owen burps in her face, the disgusting stench making her pass out and crash on the floor. Owen gasps when he sees Emma on the ground.
"Oh no, I didn't mean to do that!" Owen frowns as Kitty facepalms at the scene.
Confessional: Owen
"I've been eating anything I could find around the island, the lack of Chef's food makes me hungrier than ever… so yeah, my burps smell worse than usual!"
Conf end
Confessional: Emma23
"Urgh… CHASE WOULD ALWAYS BURP IN MY FACE WITHOUT A CARE, OWEN IS JUST LIKE HIM!"
Conf end
Confessional: Kitty
"Ok… maybe finding Emma a new boyfriend will be harder than it seems."
Conf end
Cut to Orange Team
Millie and DJ are silently sitting by the campfire, clearly bored. Ezekiel has been stalking behind a tree for the past 10 minutes, building up the courage to talk to them. Eventually, he decides to go for it and approach the duo.
"Hi..." Ezekiel mumbles as he walks towards them.
"Come again?" Millie asks, not hearing what he said.
"Hi." Ezekiel repeats, louder. Millie gives DJ a confused look.
"How's it going man?" DJ replies in a positive tone.
Confessional: DJ
"So, homeschool Ezekiel is finally working up the courage to talk to others? I've only really seen him talk to Dawn for long periods of time since we got here. I'm weirdly proud of him for some reason, so I'll try to make him feel comfortable."
Conf end
"Things have been good… sorry for not talking much, I just haven't been sure on how to start conversations after everything that has happened." Ezekiel apologizes. "Dawn went to me first, so yeah…"
"It's fine." DJ says.
"Yeah…" Millie looks at Ezekiel with skepticism before her face turns into a neutral look.
Confessional: Millie
"Yeah, I probably shouldn't be judging people, I'll get to know him I guess… though he might be targeting me." Millie frowns.
Conf end
Confessional: Ezekiel
"I'm trying to take Dawn's advice and branch out to other people…"
Conf end
Cut to Cyan Team
We see Taylor lounging around camp, taking in the warm sun. She sighs peacefully, but that peace doesn't last for long as Kelly makes her way towards her daughter. "Taylor, we need to talk." Kelly says firmly. Taylor groans in response.
"You always want to talk, ugh! But I'm catching some rays, so no thanks." Taylor dismisses, wanting no part in whatever conversation Kelly is about to start.
Kelly isn't taking that however. "No Taylor, we have to talk about your behavior."
"Um… are you doubling my allowance since I've been so good?" Taylor questions.
Kelly rolls her eyes which Taylor takes notice of, causing her to raise an eyebrow. "No Taylor, I've just had it with your attitude!"
Taylor gasps. "What do you mean? What have I done?"
"The way you've been talking to me the whole time we've been here is unacceptable! You demand stuff of me all the time and disrespect me. I'm not going to be taking it anymore-"
"Mom, please stop! You know you're supposed to not get angry, it raises your blood pressure." Taylor rolls her eyes.
"Taylor, I'm serious." Kelly glares.
Taylor sighs. "I'm sorry mom. If you buy me a new car when we get home, I'll tell the others to-"
"No, I'm not buying you anything anymore." Kelly replies.
Taylor's face drops, feeling the seriousness in her mother's tone. "What?"
"You heard me. I'm done buying you stuff and enabling your behavior towards people." Kelly firmly establishes. "I'm also canceling your allowance for real this time."
"Wait, what? Please don't do that!" Taylor begs. She begins thinking of a way to get out of punishment. "I'm like sooo sorry for saying that you can't use modern lingo, I was being irrational-"
"Your fake apology won't work." Kelly interjects. "You'll get your allowance back when you learn to treat me with respect."
With that, Kelly walks off and lets Taylor soak in what she just heard. After it sinks in that her allowance is canceled, Taylor begins to cry. "I really wanted to shop after this stupid show was over!" she exclaims angrily.
Someone walks out from behind a tree and stands above Taylor. "Wow, you got karma, haha!" Staci laughs.
"Fuck off! I'm not going to be made fun of by the likes of you." Taylor pouts before getting up and walking away.
Confessional: Kelly
"Was I too harsh by cutting off her allowance? …no Kelly, don't feel bad! Staci was right, that is what I should've done for years…"
Conf end
Confessional: Taylor
"How DARE she do that to me! I'm her daughter, this is not right!"
Conf end
Confessional: Staci
"I was watching from behind a tree to make sure Kelly didn't back down! I'm glad she didn't, cause Taylor sucks, haha!"
Conf end
Elsewhere, we see Trent swimming in the lake while Jen is sitting nearby, looking to be in no rush to get in the water. "Are you going to get in?" Trent questions.
"I can't, we don't have our swimsuits and I am NOT getting my clothes wet, they're my own brand and would look awful with the lake water." Jen answers.
"Oh… your own brand. You're wearing it out HERE?" Trent asks, confused by Jen's decision making.
"If I knew we'd be living out in the woods instead of in cabins, I would've worn something else. But on the bright side, at least I get to advertise!" Jen replies.
"Hm, must be nice for you that you made a name for yourself in the fashion industry, huh?" Trent says, trying to strike some more conversation with a teammate he hasn't talked to much.
"Yeah, I've wanted to have my own clothing brand since I was a little girl. Tom was the perfect partner to do it with and we followed our dreams!" Jen smiles.
"Well that's good, not everyone gets to do that." Trent replies.
"Yeah, I'm happy things worked out. What about you though, what are you passionate about?" Jen asks.
"Music." Trent quickly replies.
Jen looks confused. "I thought you didn't care about it anymore. Weren't you the guy who had the chance to break into the industry but chose not to?"
"Uh… yeah." Trent replies.
"If it's your passion, why didn't you go forward with it?"
"I…" Trent cuts himself off before groaning. "It's stupid… and there's probably no time to go for it again, I think the window of opportunity passed."
Jen frowns. "Well I don't know your situation, but you should try to do it again after this show. You don't want to live with regrets, and if you're passionate about music, you should try to live out your dreams." she advises. Trent gives a smile in return.
Confessional: Trent
"Maybe Jen is right…"
Conf end
Confessional: Jen
"Trent isn't in my alliance, but he seems like a good enough person. Maybe I should get to know him more, having more friends is only a benefit."
Conf end
Cut to Pink Team
We see Scarlett and EmmaRR in the forest, done eating a soup reward Pink won as a result of the last challenge. "Ok, now that we can't get hit with water balloons, we should talk about the Izzy stuff." Scarlett suggests.
"Alright."
"So about the Brainzilla thing… I think I know what you thought I was implying when I mentioned the brain damage thing." Scarlett says.
"We aren't going to injure her for this." EmmaRR quickly says. "We'd probably get disqualified for that, not to mention that that'd be insane to do-"
Scarlett rolls her eyes. "Calm down. First off, Chris would probably be thrilled if we gave someone brain damage, that's probably a fetish for him." Scarlett starts, getting a shocked look from Emma. "And second, I don't want to give her brain damage, I told you guys l that I won't harm people anymore."
"Oh… I thought you were implying that." Emma awkwardly replies.
"Well I'm not." Scarlett assures. "I was going to segway into saying that I don't buy that hitting her head is what caused Brainzilla."
"What do you mean?" Emma asks confusedly.
"I think that's just who she is." Scarlett replies. Emma's confusion refuses to leave her face as she gathers herself in response to this.
"What are you talking about? She is not-"
Before Emma can continue, Izzy runs up to the duo with the machete. "Have you guys seen a chicken around here? I was trying to kill one so we could eat, but it ran away!"
"Um no… sorry." Emma replies.
"Well come help me find it!" Izzy says, dragging Emma by the arm as she runs off. Scarlett sighs.
Confessional: EmmaRR
"That's just who she is? What is Scarlett on about, there isn't a case for Brainzilla being the real Izzy, the facts just don't add up."
Conf end
Confessional: Scarlett
"Does something always have to happen when I talk to Emma about this? My plans are very inefficient when stuff like this goes down."
Conf end
Elsewhere, Sammy and Zoey are in a different part of the forest. "Hey Sammy, what did you want to talk about?" Zoey asks.
"Well I told Jasmine and Gwen about this, and I was just waiting to tell you." Sammy states before pulling out her steal a vote advantage.
Zoey gasps in shock. "Where did you get this?"
"When Amy eliminated me from the last challenge, this popped out of the water balloon she threw!" Sammy grins.
"Well that's good! She thought she got one up on you I bet!" Zoey chuckles, high fiving the nice twin.
"Yeah, it made her eliminating me from the challenge sting less." Sammy replies. "I wish I didn't see her at all though, I've been doing my best to forget about her."
"She seems like an awful person." Zoey shakes her head.
"She is, I wish I was an only child." Sammy sighs. That maybe wasn't the best comment to make, as Zoey frowns in response to this. To her credit, Sammy quickly takes note of this. "Sorry, did I say something wrong? I didn't mean to, I just-"
"It's fine Sammy. I get that in your situation, you'd want to be an only child. It's just that for me, I've always wanted to have a sibling because my social life used to be really lonely. When my parents were gone at work, I'd have no one to talk to. Since I didn't have many friends in school, I almost had nobody at all. So when people describe being an only child as this dream thing, I get sad I guess." Zoey explains.
Sammy looks nervous. "Again I'm sorry for bringing that up, I don't want to come off ungrateful when I have a sibling-"
"Like I said, it's fine. I'd probably feel the same way you do if my sister was Amy." Zoey laughs.
"Are you sure?"
"Yup. You don't have to apologize multiple times for such a minor thing." Zoey assures.
"Really? Thanks Zoey. Sometimes I feel the need to apologize a lot so I won't risk losing people who are actually friendly to me… that's a habit I picked up a long time ago." Sammy rubs her arm.
"Well you won't have to worry about that with me, I won't abandon you for silly reasons." Zoey says before hugging Sammy.
Confessional: Zoey
"Sammy and I really are super similar! The feeling of needing to apologize constantly for any minor slip up, the lack of friends growing up… I'm glad I met her! Amy didn't know what she had with a great sister like Sammy."
Conf end
Confessional: Sammy
"Zoey's great, I'm happy that she chose me for the team."
Conf end
Elsewhere, Gwen and Jasmine are chatting as the only two members of the team in camp. "Jasmine, I want to ask you something."
"Sure mate, what is it?" Jasmine responds.
"We need to add another person to our alliance to secure a majority, and I think I know the perfect person." Gwen says.
"Who?"
"Scarlett."
"WHAT?"
"I'm kidding, I promise!" Gwen laughs at Jasmine's reaction, who soon enough joins her.
"You got me there, I thought you were serious!" Jasmine chuckles before straightening up. "Who is your actual suggestion?"
"Mary. She's the team captain, she's smart, and is the most likable of the other five." Gwen suggests.
Jasmine takes a moment to think. "Yeahhh, she's probably the best option. I wouldn't mind Sky either though, despite some drama early on, she's still a good person."
"I'd still prefer Mary, she's less of a wildcard." Gwen shrugs.
"Fair, we will just have to discuss with the others soon."
Confessional: Jasmine
"Mary is a bit of a random choice, but she seems like a nice person. A little weird, but harmless."
Conf end
Confessional: Gwen
"I'm putting in a good word for Mary, I hope they accept."

Time skip
Day 20
Cut to Chris standing in the forest.
The Purple, Blue, Pink, Orange, Gray, and Cyan teams make their way to their team mats. The Green Team walks in first. "Getting your first look at the new Green Team… Sam voted out at the last elimination."
No one looks too shocked, though some take notice of Dakota's sad look. The Yellow Team is next to walk in.
"Getting your first look at the new Yellow Team… Carrie voted out at the last elimination."
"WHAT?!" Devin gasps in shock, all eyes turning to him. "WHY IS CARRIE GONE?"
No one on Yellow says anything, only further annoying Devin who repeats his question.
"Devin, we gotta move on." Chris says.
Confessional: Devin
"That team voted out my wife! I don't know what happened, but they're going to PAY!"
Conf end
Confessional: Raj
"Why do we get yelled at by someone every time we vote someone out?"
Conf end
As Devin is still seething, we see Lime Team walk in. "Getting your first look at the new Lime Team… Rodney voted out at the last elimination." Chris says to the disappointment of no one. Last but not least, the Red Team walks in. "Getting your first look at the new Red Team… Brody voted out at the last elimination."
Confessional: Stephanie and Ryan
"I'm just shocked it wasn't Max." Ryan says while Stephanie nods in agreement.
Conf end
"We're done now. Now that everything is settled, we can begin the next immunity challenge. The challenge will be a good old fashioned game of tag!" Chris says.
"Hire a new challenge designer, we need to stop playing kids games." Axel groans.
"Oh? Is this challenge not exciting enough for you? We can change it if you want-"
"We don't want it changed." Heather interjects, knowing the possibility of Chris making a torture chamber or something.
"Ok then. How this will work is that two people will be selected to be 'it.' Then for the next hour, you'll all run around this forest area playing tag with the no tag backs rules. The two people who are 'it' when the hour ends will have their teams go up for elimination." Chris explains.
"What happens if the two people who are 'it' are from the same team?" Caleb asks.
"Then that means the team in question would have to lose two members. They'll vote off one member, followed by another in back to back voting ceremonies." Chris replies to a chorus of gasps, a potential double elimination on one team not happening yet.
Confessional: Justin
"If only we had the majority, then we could just eliminate Taylor AND Anne Maria at the same time so Staci and I would stop arguing over who goes…"
Conf end
Confessional: Sierra
"AH THIS IS A NEW TWIST… I'm starting to really feel the tech withdrawal, I'm struggling to keep all the notes in my head that I'll add to the blog!"
Conf end
Confessional: Julia
"This challenge is going to be horrible for us! Dwayne and Tammy don't seem like good runners, Ella wears NON running shoes, and MK would rather die than run. We were supposed to go to a marathon to look trendy since it's popular in our area, but MK faked being sick so she could stay home. Looks like I will have to carry the team as usual."
Conf end
Confessional: Ella
"If two people from our team are 'it', we'd be a team of three… we have to pull through!"
Conf end
"Ok when I announce who's 'it', the timer will start and you can scatter. The people are it… Trent and Crimson!"
Confessional: Crimson and Ennui
"I was hoping not to do much…" Crimson complains dryly.
"Just tag one person and hide." Ennui advises.
Conf end
"Now GO!" Chris announces. Everyone runs away from Trent and Crimson, though they quickly reach DJ and Dwayne. The cycle continues of people being tagged as they run away, and the ruckus eventually ends with Wayne and Izzy being it. While Wayne runs into the forest, Izzy doesn't seem to be in a rush to go after anyone.
"Can I finish that?" Izzy requests Chris, pointing at an unlabeled bottle.
"It tastes horrible Izzy… so sure." Chris obliges, throwing the bottle to Izzy who begins drinking.
Confessional: Izzy
"Izzy has an hour to tag someone, she can wait before starting!"
Conf end
In the forest, we see Devin sulking in the woods, now thinking he's alone. He would be wrong however, but luckily for him it isn't Wayne or Izzy, it's Chet. "What are you doing here?" Devin sighs as he looks up. "You got Carrie and I out of the last challenge."
"I know you're upset about that… but you and I have a similar problem." Chet says, causing Devin to frown.
"What do you mean?"
"You're sad that Carrie went home, but who went home first on that team?" Chet questions.
"Lorenzo?"
"Exactly. That team took out my step brother and your wife, we can't just let that slide!"
"So what are you suggesting?"
"We form an anti Yellow Team pact." Chet offers with an extended hand. After a moment of thought, Devin shakes it.
Confessional: Devin
"You know, Chet may have gotten Carrie out of the balloon challenge, but he didn't vote her out. We both have a bone to pick with Yellow and we will make them pay!"
Conf end
Confessional: Chet
"Ha, I recruited someone for my cause!"
Conf end
We see Katie and Sadie walking around. "Omg Katie this challenge is so exciting! I love tag, EEK!"
"Omg Sadie, I love tag too!"
"Well I love love love tag!"
"I love love love love love tag!"
"I love love love love love love love tag!"
"I love love love love love love love love love tag!"
"I love love-"
Before they can continue, Wayne runs in and tags Sadie.
"EEK HOW DARE YOU!" Sadie shrieks in annoyance before slapping Wayne with her shoe.
"Ow!" Wayne cries out. "What was that for?"
"The BFFFLs over the hockey flops anyday!" Sadie says with pettiness clear in her tone. "Anyways Katie, can I tag you?"
"Like why would you want to do that Sadie?" Katie asks.
"EEK you're faster than me." Sadie says.
"Omg you're so totally right Sadie!" Katie smiles as she lets Sadie tag her before running off, not tagging Wayne as he would just tag Sadie right after, which could cause an endless loop.
Confessional: Katie and Sadie
"EEK Wayne, I am going to be wearing an ANTI snow owls jersey to your next game!" Sadie vows.
"Mhm! Hail Ravens for life!" Katie adds.
"Is that a real team?"
"I don't watch hockey, so I don't know."
Conf end
Confessional: Wayne
Wayne touches his face where he feels a red mark from Sadie's shoe. "Ow…"
Conf end
Elsewhere, Tom and Jen are walking and talking. "Yeah, Trent isn't half bad… unlike Justin and Staci. If it's up to me, we get rid of him last." Jen says.
"That's fine with me, he's the most helpful in challenges." Tom agrees. The duo walk in silence for a bit until they see some familiar faces. "OMG LINDSAY, WE KEEP RUNNING INTO YOU!"
"Hey Terrance and Jonie!" Lindsay greets the duo, giving Jen a hug.
"I'm here too…" Tyler mutters. This goes unheard as the fashion bloggers are too focused on Lindsay.
"Well since we keep running into each other, why don't we form a cross team alliance?!" Jen offers.
"I'd love to!"
"EEEEEE!" the trio squeal as Tyler looks on.
"Um… am I a part of it?" Tyler asks. Tom and Jen look at him.
"Oh we didn't realize you're here, but sure!"
Confessional: Tom
"A cross team alliance with LINDSAY! Ugh, this game can't get any better for us!" Tom smiles.
Conf end
Confessional: Lindsay
"Those two are like the cutest fans ever. Who needs Topher as a Cyan Team ally when you have them?"
Conf end
Confessional: Tyler
"Everytime we talk with them, they ignore me! I'm happy that Lindsay's successful, but I'm really feeling like people don't care about me in general. I'm going to have to do something to stand out…"
Conf end
Meanwhile, Taylor is ranting to Anne Maria. "Then mom said that she is CANCELING my allowance! Like I won't get it back until I start treating her with respect, but I don't think I've been disrespectful to her at all!"
"You haven't!" Anne Maria assures. "You just keep it real and she couldn't handle it. If you want your allowance back, you'll have to be fake."
"Ugh, my life is so unfair!" Taylor whines. Just then, Katie runs by and tags Anne Maria.
"Oh hell no!" Anne Maria growls. "Be right back girl!"
Confessional: Anne Maria
"Kelly canceling Taylor's allowance worries me… what if she doesn't want to work with us anymore? Also, Taylor told me we'd go shopping after the show, and now we can't, so thanks a lot Kelly!"
Conf end
30 MINUTES LEFT
We see Eva walking alone, clearly on high alert in case anyone shows up. She hears footsteps and instantly growls. "WHO'S THERE?" she belts out, wanting to scare a possible tagger off.
Ella gasps as she is revealed to be nearby Eva. "I promise I'm not a tagger!"
Eva's eyes narrow. "Leave anyways."
Ella doesn't need to be told twice as she quickly exits. However, Ella accidentally served as a distraction to the real tagger Eva needed to worry about, that being Izzy. Izzy jumps on Eva's back. "Haha, you're it now!"
"Damn it Izzy!" Eva groans in disappointment.
"What, not excited to see me?" Izzy laughs. "Team E-Scope for life!"
"What kind of team decides to tag each other in the challenge?" Eva questions.
"...oops, I thought it'd be funny."
"Whatever, I have to find someone else to tag… Ella went that way I'm pretty sure." Eva tells herself as she runs off.
Confessional: Eva
"Why did I work with Izzy to find that briefcase again?"
Conf end
"YA HORSE MATING PLASTIC BITCH, YOU DID NOT JUST DO THAT!" Sugar screams in anger after Anne Maria tagged her. "I'm gonna slap that Donald Trump orange off your body, ya hear me?"
"Of course I hear you, you're so damn loud!" Anne Maria rolls her eyes. Just as Sugar is about to lunge onto her, Jacques runs in.
"Sugar, find someone on a different team, you can't tag her back."
"What? How did you know she tagged me?"
"I could hear you from far away."
"See, I told ya!" Anne Maria laughs.
…
Elsewhere, Mary and Sky are sitting up in a tree. "Thanks for helping me up here Sky!" Mary thanks as the duo sit together, clearly safe from any possible taggers.
"No problem. If we lose, neither of us can be blamed."
"Smart thinking on this challenge." Mary smiles. "Avoiding the possibility of being tagged is better than rolling the dice on a tagger finding us right when time expires."
"Exactly." Sky agrees.
"You know… you're such a strong player. You won us the last challenge and have been consistently one of our best members." Mary compliments.
"Thank you! In Pahkitew, my team… wasn't the best to start with in the challenges, I'm glad we have only lost once." Sky says.
"Likewise… it'd be stupid for anyone to vote you out so early." Mary states. "Don't you find it weird that Sammy wrote YOUR name down when you've been an MVP?"
"I mean… I guess." Sky replies with a raised eyebrow.
"No need for a simple 'I guess'. It's a major red flag that she wanted you gone, she should be a primary target." Mary says.
"Well I wasn't happy that she voted for me, but I feel like we need to vote out Scarlett instead." Sky retorts. "She tried to kill five of us last time!"
"I sympathize with the situation, but look at the facts. Sammy voted for you and has multiple friends on the team. That is a big threat to your game. Working with Scarlett for a round or two before dumping her has some upside." Mary replies.
"You're right, but I'd still rather go for Scarlett." Sky says. "She is one of the dirtiest players around."
"...alright."
Confessional: Sky
"It's sad that two people tried to kill me last time… and both were on my team this season. What Mary is saying does make sense… but I don't know, something is telling me that keeping Scarlett is just asking for something bad to happen."
Conf end
Confessional: Mary
"Why is Sky concerned about Scarlett playing dirty? This is a game, strategy should be the #1 priority, not feelings. I didn't tell Sky about Sammy having the four person alliance yet since I'd rather wait until we lose to reveal it so there's less possible time for leaking it to backfire. Anyways, I'll have to turn the heat up to get Gwen or Sky to realize who needs to go."
Conf end
10 MINUTES REMAINING
We see Zee walking around.
…
…
"THERE YOU ARE!" Sugar yells out as she tackles Zee to the ground. "You're it, sucker!"
"Ow…" Zee groans in pain. He tries to get up, but to no avail. He opens his eyes to see Sugar laying on top of him. "Can you please get off?"
"No!" Sugar yells out. Jacques smiles as he watches this unfold.
"Please… you're crushing me!" Zee begs.
"Hell no! Since you can't tag me back, I'm just gonna trap you here." Sugar laughs. "So yeah, your team is more done than a horse to the slaughter!"
Zee lets out a muffled yell as Sugar covers his mouth so he can't scream for Purple Team to help him.
Confessional: Sugar and Jacques
"Simple strategy right there!" Sugar points to her brain.
"I'm shocked that a plan so brilliant came from you…" Jacques mutters.
"Are you doubting my intellect?!"
Conf end
Blaineley, Duncan, and Amy are walking together. "Don't you think it would be a better idea to split up?" Blaineley asks.
"Nah. If someone tags one of us, we gang up on them." Duncan replies. The trio walk in silence for a little bit until they hear footsteps.
"If it's Samey, I get the first blow." Amy laughs. It is not Sammy however, it is Gwen.
"Hey Gwen!" Duncan greets. "I'd say good to see you, but things won't be good if you try and tag one of us."
"I'm not even 'it', don't worry." Gwen chuckles. "I haven't seen a tagger since this challenge began."
"Then go away." Amy rolls her eyes.
"Excuse you?" Gwen questions, not happy with the rude tone Amy possesses.
"Then go away, you aren't needed here." Amy repeats.
Gwen looks at Duncan. "I don't know how you put up with someone as annoying as her, but whatever. I'll leave so I don't have to be around Amy anymore."
With that, Gwen walks away and the couple turn to each other. "Really?" Duncan asks.
"What, you're not going to defend me?"
"You were snappy with her for no reason."
"So what? You don't need to be talking with her, you have me now." Amy replies.
Duncan groans in annoyance. "'I can be friends with whoever I want."
"I'm your girlfriend, you should be listening to me on this one thing. Gwen is your ex, no need to have her in your life anymore!" Amy retorts.
Blaineley looks a tad excited that there is drama, but she isn't happy about who it's between. "Like I said, I can have whoever I want in my life. You can't control my social relationships, and if you have a problem with that, then maybe-"
"Ok guys stop, you'll just make a tagger hear us-" Blaineley interjects before just that happens, as Eva runs towards the trio. They notice and begin running away.
Confessional: Blaineley
"This isn't the drama I had in mind when we came on this show… don't tell those two, but I was kinda here for it! I'll be present for an argument during an episode!"
Conf end
Confessional: Amy
"Then maybe what Duncan? I don't think I'm irrational for not wanting him to talk to Gwen!"
Conf end
Confessional: Duncan
"After Courtney's paper telling me how to change myself, I am never going to let another woman control me, and I hope Amy knows that."
Conf end
After the Duncan, Amy, and Blaineley trio saw Eva, they split up and ran in different directions. Eva decided to go after Amy, so now a chase off is going down. "GET AWAY FROM ME YOU ROID MONSTER!" Amy shrieks. This wasn't a good idea as it only made Eva more angry, and she shoves Amy to the ground.
"Have fun at the campfire tonight." Eva laughs. Amy gets up from the ground and instantly looks to see if she can find someone. Luckily for her, Millie is nearby.
"Prepare to go down!" Amy yells out in an idiotic move. This just causes Millie to hear her and begin running.
1 MINUTE REMAINING
This announcement makes Amy pick up the pace as Millie tries to avoid her. When Amy is close to touching Millie, Millie takes a sharp left turn which throws Amy off, allowing Millie some time to put some distance between her and Amy.
30 SECONDS REMAINING
"You can't escape that easily!" Amy yells. She struggles to run quickly in her heels, but she's a good enough runner as to where she is starting to make up ground.
15 SECONDS REMAINING
"Please stop!" Millie begs as Amy looms closer. This doesn't look as Amy makes a lunge and successfully pulls Millie down by her jacket.
"Haha, you're it loser!" Amy laughs.

CHALLENGE COMPLETE
Cut back to where the challenge began
"Let's see the results!" Chris says.
Safe:
1st/2nd/3rd- Red/Blue/Green
4th- Yellow Team
5th- Pink Team
6th- Cyan Team
7th- Lime Team
8th- Gray Team
9th- Orange Team- Millie was "it"
10th- Purple Team- Zee was "it"
"1st-8th was determined by the recency of who was 'it.' Red, Blue, and Green never had someone be it, so they tie for 1st! There won't be a reward here though. As for Orange and Purple, you guys do not have such luck. I will be seeing you tonight where we will determine 80th and 79th place. Good luck."
Confessional: Josee
"Finally, more gold on the podium!"
Conf end
Confessional: Amy
"Thankfully, I found Millie right before the timer ran out. She's probably toast!" Amy laughs.
Conf end
Confessional: MacArthur
"Well we lost again… I can finally make my big move!"
Conf end
Confessional: Zee
Zee looks to be out of it after Sugar trapped him for 10 minutes.
Conf end
Confessional: Sugar
"Ha Zee! You got SUGAR'D!"
Conf end
Confessional: Laurie
"Losing sucks, but hopefully we can finally get rid of you know who."
Conf end
Confessional: Millie
Millie looks to be very worried in her confessional. "I lost that challenge for us! The others are going to vote me out! I can't go home early again after costing us the challenge, that would prove everyone right about me!"
Conf end
Cut to Purple Team
We see Cody, Sanders, MacArthur, Lindsay, and Tyler all talking near the lake. "So… who do you guys want to vote for?" Sanders questions.
"Chet." Cody replies instantly. "He's still mad at me about that one stray vote…"
"I think it should be Zee!" Lindsay interjects. "He did lose us the challenge…"
"He hasn't been especially good at any of the challenges this season, maybe getting rid of him would be smart." Sanders agrees with Lindsay. "Chet at least did pretty well in the balloon challenge, Zee was the first out of that one."
Cody sighs. "I guess."
"Then it's settled… Zee goes home." Tyler says. "He seems nice, I feel bad about it."
"Well, that's the game. We can't keep everyone." Sanders frowns. Tyler nods in understanding before he and Lindsay make their exit.
…
Elsewhere, Zee and Damien are talking. "What happened to you?" Damien asks in worry.
"S- sugar…" Zee grunts, his usually carefree energy zapped away.
"Oh…" Damien mutters before a silence falls between the duo. It isn't for long as Damien pipes up again. "I'll be honest, you're probably in danger. We can try to get the team to vote out Chet because of how he treated Cody after Beth's elimination."
"Ok…" Zee mutters back before falling on the ground.
Confessional: Damien
"Zee is my friend, I'll do whatever it takes to save him!"
Conf end
We see Damien wrapping up a conversation with Cody and Sanders. "And that's why we got to vote for Chet! Are you in?"
"I really want him out…" Cody replies, though that isn't an answer.
"Just think about it. Get MacArthur on board, and that will be 5!" Damien explains.
"Ok, we'll talk to her." Sanders says.
Confessional: Cody
"I'm more on board with Damien's idea than Tyler and Lindsay's. Chet still has a grudge for a stray vote, I wasn't even wanting him out!"
Conf end
We see MacArthur, Sanders, and Cody talking later in the day. "So…" Sanders starts. "Now that we've heard everyone out, we have to make a choice between Zee or Chet to send home. Tyler and Lindsay want Zee, Zee and Damien want Chet."
"Can it please be Chet?" Cody requests. "I didn't push back against Tyler and Lindsay when they suggested Zee, but I don't want to go with their idea."
"If it makes you comfortable, we can eliminate Chet. Zee is more of a liability though, I feel like getting rid of him is smart too."
"I know, it's just-"
"We aren't voting for either of them." MacArthur shuts down.
"Huh?" Sanders and Cody ask at the same time.
"Remember what you guys told me when I agreed to vote out Rock? If we voted out Rock, I get to choose who we vote for this time." MacArthur reminds.
"You don't want to vote for Zee or Chet?" Sanders raises an eyebrow.
"I don't. You guys promised me that you'd vote my way, remember?" MacArthur says.
"I guess we did…" Cody mutters.
"But if we aren't voting for Zee or Chet, how will we get the majority? That's only three votes." Sanders questions.
"We just need Chet's vote to make it 4-2-2, and I think I can get him on board. Anyways, we are voting for-"
Confessional: Sanders
"Voting them out would be so stupid… but I told MacArthur I'd vote with her…"
Conf end
We see Chet sitting alone until MacArthur walks into the scene. "HEY!" MacArthur aggressively shouts.
"What?" Chet asks, seeming a bit annoyed at MacArthur's intensity.
"We need to talk about the vote." MacArthur states.
"Can it be Cody-"
"No! No one else is voting for Cody, and if you vote for him, you're just wasting your vote." MacArthur says bluntly.
"Oh…"
"I'll be honest. You're being targeted. If you vote for who I say tonight, I can save you." MacArthur offers.
"Why am I being targeted?!"
"Just let me talk."
Confessional: MacArthur
MacArthur lets out a peaceful sigh. "Man, it's nice to be orchestrating a move after taking the boring route by voting for Rock last time!"
Conf end
Confessional: Chet
"I can't believe I'm a target, but Cody isn't… I have to vote with MacArthur to save myself."
Conf end
Cut to Orange Team
Laurie, Millie, and Caleb are talking.
"So…" Laurie starts. "We need to vote out Sadie."
"Agreed." Millie says, though her face looks uneasy.
"I swear if they keep her again…" Caleb mutters.
"Do you guys think that the other six are going to work together again like last time? I feel like they're going to vote me out!" Millie worries.
"If they are working together, I do feel like they'd target you or Caleb." Laurie says. Caleb raises an eyebrow.
"Why would they target me? I'm the best challenge competitor we have here… no offense." Caleb questions.
"None taken. But they voted out Priya, challenge strength clearly doesn't matter to them. Bacon eating bitch might hate me, but they'll probably view you two as more of a pair since you were both closer to Priya than me." Laurie shrugs. "I doubt they'll vote for you though."
Millie's worried face doesn't cease. "So you think they'd vote for me?"
Laurie hesitates before answering. "Um… who knows. We just need to convince them to vote for Sadie. She has to go, THE ANIMALS NEED TO BE SAVED!" Laurie bursts out, her anger coming very suddenly to Caleb and Millie.
Confessional: Caleb
"This team would be very stupid to eliminate me, they would just be throwing themselves into more eliminations. I'm just hoping we can convince B, DJ, Ezekiel, and Dawn that voting Sadie is the right play."
Conf end
Confessional: Millie
"What Laurie said is not helping my paranoia, even she thinks they'll vote for me! If it's me or Caleb like she thinks… I have to protect myself."
Conf end
We see Dawn, B, Katie, and Sadie talking. "So yeah, we need to vote out Laurie. EEK!" Sadie requests Dawn and B. B gives a thumbs up before he and Dawn walk away.
"Are you sure we should vote for Laurie? Sadie has sabotaged people in challenges multiple times." Dawn frowns
B stops and looks at Dawn before making some hand gestures.
"I know Laurie already doesn't trust us since we voted out Priya last time, but still…"
Confessional: B
B sighs, clearly wanting to keep two not smart strategic players under his wing, which isn't what Dawn wants.
Conf end
Confessional: Dawn
"B is thinking strategically for this vote, but Sadie has to go! She sabotaged Priya and Laurie because she didn't like them. Even though Millie lost us the challenge, Sadie's aura weighs our team down even more."
Conf end
We see DJ and Ezekiel talking.
"So… it's between Laurie and Sadie from what you're hearing?" DJ asks.
"For sure, ey. They argue a lot." Ezekiel answers.
"I know Sadie outside the game more than Laurie… but I have to be objective, Sadie is…"
"Is?"
"Sorry, mama told me never to talk bad behind people's backs. You know what I'm implying though." DJ chuckles.
"I get ya."
Before the conversation can go further, Millie walks up to the duo. "Hey guys…"
"Hi Millie!" DJ warmly smiles. "We are leaning towards voting Sadie tonight, are you in?"
…
Confessional: Millie
"If he's being honest, that would be five votes against Sadie… but he told me that he was voting Sadie last time, and Sadie didn't go home! If I just believe him and get blindsided because of it, I won't forgive myself…"
Conf end
"Um… I'd like to, but there's something you might want to know." Millie starts.
"Hm?" Ezekiel and DJ reply in unison.
"Caleb is trying to work with Katie and Sadie to blindside you, Ezekiel…" Millie says.
"Huh?" Ezekiel's eyes widen, DJ looks a bit surprised too.
"He was mad about Priya being eliminated, but now he wants to use them the way that he tried to use Priya early on when they first met…" Millie mutters.
The duo look even more surprised. "Why is he targeting me?" Ezekiel asks.
"He thinks you're weird because of the feral thing." Millie explains.
"Really?"
"I mean, he hasn't talked to you for a reason." Millie frowns. Ezekiel has a genuinely hurt look on his face which causes Millie's frown to deepen, knowing that her lie caused it. DJ puts a hand on Ezekiel's shoulder.
"That sounds very out of character for him…" DJ says, sounding a little unsure about Millie's story.
"I mean remember when he was working on allying with Priya, then he voted me out just to get closer to her? Also when he worked with Julia despite Priya hating her? He's very capable of this." Millie sighs. "Sorry for this information overload, I just wasn't sure if I should say anything because he is Priya's boyfriend."
Confessional: Ezekiel
Ezekiel sighs. "And to think I was optimistic when Dawn said that no one would judge me, people always do…"
Conf end
Confessional: DJ
"That's a lot to know about now… if it was anyone but Millie saying it, I wouldn't believe them. Caleb working with Katie and Sadie after they eliminated his girlfriend sounds ridiculous, but I doubt she would just randomly lie about someone she knows to save Sadie."
Conf end
Confessional: Millie
Millie is seen grabbing her hair. "Urgh I feel so bad, but it's either me or Caleb tonight! I had to do that to save myself!"
Conf end
Dawn and B are seen still discussing the vote before Ezekiel runs up to them. "Guys, Caleb is targeting me!"
B and Dawn snap their attention quickly towards the former feral. "What?" Dawn asks in confusion.
"He's trying to get himself, Laurie, Millie, Katie, and Sadie to vote against me!" Ezekiel panics.
"Where did you hear this?" Dawn questions.
"Millie."
"Millie? Are you sure?"
"Yeah, she exposed the plan." Ezekiel explains. "He wants me out because he finds me weird!"
Dawn looks surprised. "Are you sure that's true?"
"He was manipulative early on in his second season, he's capable of it!"
"His aura seems different this time…" Dawn looks confused. B on the other hand gives a thumbs up towards Ezekiel with a nod, indicating that he believes Ezekiel.
"Can we please vote him out?" Ezekiel begs.
"I…" Dawn cuts herself off as she looks in Ezekiel's eyes and notices his desperation. "Maybe, but are you 100% sure it's true?"
"I believe Millie. Why would she throw Caleb under the bus, they are both close to Priya." Ezekiel replies.
"Well, I just…" Dawn says before B gives another thumbs up to Zeke. B makes some gestures towards Dawn. "Well I know if they are really working together, voting out Caleb is our last chance to make a move. But if we vote out Caleb and he was doing nothing wrong, I'd feel horrible…"
The trio look to be in thought.
Confessional: Dawn
"Something feels off… urgh, why are these votes so difficult!" Dawn cries out, putting her head in her hands.
Conf end
Confessional: B
B shrugs and moves his hands in a 'weighing out' motion. He is indicating that he isn't really sure if he believes what Ezekiel is saying, but he's fine with Caleb being a target as he is a big threat.
Conf end
Cut to Purple Team at the elimination ceremony
"Welcome Purple Team, it's been 10 days since I've last seen you. Your lucky streak is over though, so get voting!"
Voting
"Sorry Zelda, but you do the least." Lindsay frowns.
Zee looks worried as he holds a vote for Chet.
We see a quick cut of Damien, Tyler, Chet, Cody, Sanders, and MacArthur voting before we cut back to the campfire.
Voting Over
"If anyone has found a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so…"
…
"Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… Zee."
Zee bites his lip.
"2nd vote… Chet."
Chet glares at Zee.
"3rd vote… Zee."
Damien looks worried for Zee.
"4th vote… Chet. 2 votes Zee, 2 votes Chet."
Chet holds his breath.
"5th vote… Damien."
Damien raises an eyebrow in confusion.
"6th vote… Damien. 2 votes Zee, 2 votes Chet, 2 votes Damien."
Damien looks worried now as Zee, Tyler, and Lindsay look confused.
"7th vote… Damien. 3 votes Damien, 2 votes Zee, 2 votes Chet, 1 vote left…"
Damien's eyes are practically popping out.
"21st person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate… Damien. That's 4, it's time for you to go."
…
"WHAT?!" Damien screams in shock. "WHY ME?"
"Wait, I'm like so confused." Lindsay looks surprised.
"Aw man…" Zee frowns while looking at his friend. "It should've been me!"
"True!" Tyler blurts out before shutting up when he realized what he said.
Damien looks at a certain police cadet. "Was it you?!" Damien asks in a high pitch.
"Sorry, you kept looking for that idol. We have to take care of rats." MacArthur shrugs.
"I-" Damien can't even form a proper response. "I don't even have the idol!"
"Well you kept looking for it." she shrugs in response.
"Damien, it's time for you to go." Chris says, gesturing for him to make his exit. Damien looks angry as he walks out.
Confessional: Sanders
"I feel bad… I didn't want Damien out, but I couldn't just not vote with MacArthur after I promised I would."
Conf end
Confessional: MacArthur
"BOOM!" MacArthur cheers. "Big Moves MacArthur is in the house, I orchestrated my first blindside of the season! Nothing can stop me now."
Conf end
Purple Team exit and Orange enter
"Well Orange Team, you avoided me for the past week, but you couldn't win tag. Now, get voting and see who you put the blame on!"
Voting
"EEK bye bitch!" Sadie laughs while voting for Laurie.
"Caleb… I'm so sorry for this!" Millie frowns while holding her vote.
"You're so annoying… this is for Priya!" Caleb votes for Sadie.
"This is for the animals!" Laurie says while voting for Sadie.
"I have to support my BFFFL on this one, bye Laurie." Katie says.
"I…" Dawn sighs before showing a vote for Millie. "I don't know, my head hurts from debating on who to vote…"
We see a quick cut of B, Ezekiel, and DJ voting before we cut to the campfire.
Voting over
"If anyone has found a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so…"
…
"Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… Laurie."
Laurie sneers at Sadie.
"2nd vote… Sadie."
Sadie sneers at Laurie in return.
"3rd vote… Millie."
Millie bites her lip in worry.
"4th vote… Caleb. 1 vote Laurie, 1 vote Sadie, 1 vote Millie, 1 vote Caleb."
Caleb looks confused.
"5th vote… Laurie."
Laurie clutches her beanie.
"6th vote… Sadie. 2 votes Laurie, 2 votes Sadie."
Sadie frowns in concern.
"7th vote… Caleb. 2 votes Caleb, 2 votes Laurie, 2 votes Sadie, 1 vote Millie, 2 votes left…"
Caleb gasps upon the second vote.
"8th vote… Caleb. 3 votes Caleb, 2 votes Laurie, 2 votes Sadie, 1 vote Millie, 1 vote left…"
Caleb looks in panic at his teammates.
"22nd person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate… Caleb. That's 4, it's time for you to go."
…
Katie, Sadie, and Laurie look surprised as DJ and Ezekiel look confused at no Ezekiel votes. Dawn shakes her head while B hides a smile and Millie lets out a sigh of relief. Caleb struggles to talk. "Wow, you guys really just want to lose every challenge to keep SADIE around!"
"EEK don't be rude." Sadie rolls her eyes, though she still seems rattled by not voting correctly.
Ezekiel looks at Millie with a questioning look, though she mouths 'now I'm confused' to him.
"Well this is garbage!" Caleb angrily says before storming out. When he makes his way to the dock of shame, he sees Damien and both men frown.
"BOTH OF US?" Damien asks in shock.
"This sucks!" Caleb angrily replies. "I have no idea why I'm eliminated!"
"Neither do I!" Damien agrees as the boat takes this blindsided duo away.
Confessional: Millie
"I feel horrible, but I would've gone home if I didn't do that. No one can accuse me of being a bad player anymore…"
Conf end
Confessional: Ezekiel
"I got no votes, what was Millie on about?"
Conf end
Confessional: B
B smirks after voting out yet another big threat."
Conf end
Confessional: Laurie
"What the hell happened?"
Conf end
We cut to Chris alone at the campfire. "Two crazy blindsides tonight, things have definitely heated up! Now that only 78 remain, things are only going to get crazier from here. Who will go home next time on Total… Drama… Ultimate!"
Author's Note: Another episode complete! Took me six years but I did it!
Damien- RIP to Damien in a blindside! This sadly wasn't a story Damien could really shine in. His main quirk was being the normal guy put into all these crazy situations, but since this series is a lot more grounded with mostly realistic challenges, his main trait got taken away. I enjoyed what he added while he was here with trying to get idol redemption + his paranoia in Beth's boot episode. Sadly, Big Moves MacArthur ended his game since he was too focused on finding the idol.
Caleb- It was probably clear he was someone I struggled to write for. TDI24 had him act like 20 characters at once which led to him being so difficult to write since I didn't know how exactly to portray him. He mostly was just a plot device for Sadie, Priya, and Millie I fear. I haven't really seen much "someone is so paranoid that they'll be out that they throw their ally under the bus" in TD, so I did it here!
