Episode 4: Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better
"Last time, on Total Drama World Tour! Steeped in a tradition, Japan's modern allure is as fascinating as its rich history."
"Here, our competitors experienced Japan's innovative entertainment, and due to a little underhandedness by Heather, Izzy took the fall for her team's loss."
"Izzy's sacrifice means we're two warriors down, fifteen to go, with one million big ones up for grabs. On Total! Drama! Woooorld Tour!"
(Theme Song)
The episode opened to a shot of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet flying through the sky, pointed towards the left of the screen. The camera cut inside with a flash to a close-up of Eva pulling back slightly as she was shown reclining in her seat and snoring away.
The camera panned left to Gwen and Jasmine sitting in the seats across from her, both of them reclined in their seats comfortably.
The camera quick-panned further to the left, landing on Ripper who was sitting at the first class mini-bar. He gulped down a small glass of what looked like some kind of juice and said "That is refreshing."
"First class is really nice," Topher said, the camera panning out to show him sitting next to the bully and eating a strawberry.
Gwen turned her head to them. "We should be on our guard though," she said to her teammates. "We don't want either of us to get sabotaged during the challenge or have ourselves do the job for them."
"Yeah, that got me thinking," Topher agreed. "Team Super's commercial was all wonky, and I doubt that it was intentional."
"The bright colors I didn't agree with, but I personally enjoyed the slow song," Gwen commented. "Rapidly fast music is something I can't keep up with."
"Are you going to be alright with Izzy being out of the game?" Topher asked Ripper.
"Trust me, I won't turn into a blubbering mess just 'cause she's gone," Ripper said. "At least she didn't have somebody messing with the votes this time."
Confessional: Gwen
"Even though I wasn't in the last season, that doesn't mean that I shouldn't be on my guard," Gwen said in the confessional. "I got eliminated in the first season thanks to manipulation across the contestants, and if that happens to me again, then that'll prove that I didn't learn anything."
Confessional Ends
The scene cut to economy class, focusing first on Heather, Rodney, Brick, Millie, and Chase sitting along the left wall looking variously tired and bored. Panning to the other side of the room revealed Sam, Sky, Scott, Anne Maria, and Caleb sitting opposite them.
"This plane is a lot quieter with Izzy gone," Caleb commented.
"Don't say that like it's a bad thing," Sam said positively. "We can still stand strong as a team, Izzy or no Izzy."
"I'll admit, her over-the-top antics did have a way of making the game more lighthearted, even if we lost the last challenge," Sky admitted.
"And how is everyone back here?" Chris asked as the camera cut to the curtain separating economy class from the rest of the plane. "That is what I would ask if I cared," he added over shots of each team glaring his way. He walked into the room, saying "Coming through, make way," as he passed in front of Team Super.
"Where are you taking us next?" Caleb asked. "Can it be a place where there's no pinballs of any kind?"
"Or attacking pandas," Millie added from across the aisle.
"Or candy fishtails," Heather added with a glare.
"Our next destination is everything you've just asked for," Chris told the two teams with one of his usual smiles, immediately earning a concerned look from Caleb.
Confessional: Caleb
"I've watched my fair share of the first two seasons," Caleb admitted. "So I know that when Chris goes out of his way to say something, he means something else completely different."
"I can understand why the contestants can't put up with the host," the hot teen continued. "He's unpredictable, but in a bad way."
Confessional Ends
The scene cut back outside and the jumbo jet started jolting up and down. A 'fasten seatbelts' sign was shown flashing and dinging, and the screaming members of Team Explosive frantically tried to comply. Another jolt caused Brick, who hadn't buckled himself in yet, to raise up and hit his head on the overhead compartment and plop back down onto the bench.
"We got some nasty air bumps," Chef announced as the scene moved to the cockpit. "Lock your butts to a seat. O-ver!"
"You don't need to say 'over'," Chris pointed out in the seat next to him.
"I like sayin' it," Chef explained. "O-ver!"
"I am too young to die, and especially in a potential plane crash!" Chase screamed in terror as the camera cut back to economy class.
Millie promptly grabbed the boy's hand. "Don't worry," she told him. "I got you!"
On the other side of the compartment, Anne Maria was shown putting her hands together and uttering a silent prayer skyward while Scott crossed his fingers and arms with his eyes closed. On the other wall, Rodney attempted to buckle his seat belt up as well, only for one of the straps to break. "Dagnabbit," he said in disappointment.
The camera cut to the cargo hold where Izzy was crouched and watching rats jump out of the plane with tiny parachutes.
"Should we stop messin' with 'em and level out?" Chef asked the host back in the cockpit.
"Ehhhmm...," Chris said as he thought, "nah!" He shook his head and grinned, and the two men shared a brief look before bursting out into raucous laughter. The jet was shown shaking from the outside again, and a world map took over the screen with a focus on an airplane icon weaving across northern Canada.
The jumbo jet was shown again as it touched down on a runway in some frozen landscape; the sun was nestled between forested mountaintops and shined down on a half-frozen river. The plane's landing was anything but smooth, and the cast could be heard screaming and yelling inside as their ride jerked and jumped and finally crashed just off-screen.
Rodney was shown opening the back door and stepping out, immediately screaming and flailing his arms as he tried to stop himself from falling several feet to the snow below. Unfortunately, the moment he regained his balance, his teammates came up from behind to check things out, and Chase bumped into him. Rodney fell, followed by Chase, the rest of Team Explosive, the members of Team Super, and lastly Team Warrior with Ripper and Eva bringing up the rear as everyone landed in a heap around Rodney below.
"Welcome to the Yukon!" Chris announced as he leaned out of the door. A hollow sound played as a chilling wind blew across the Arctic landscape, jostling something from the top of a pine tree. The camera zoomed in to show it as a bird that had been frozen into an ice cube, along with two similarly-icy eggs.
The scene flashed to an overhead shot of the ice floe, the camera panning down to the starting line where the contestants shivered before Chris, who was wearing a luxurious white parka. The camera panned across them and their chattering teeth, eventually landing on Eva, who angrily asked "Where the heck are our jackets?"
"Relax, I ordered coats for everyone," Chris told them reassuringly, earning a short round of cheers. "They won't be ready for weeks, but, as soon as they arrive, I'll be sure to hand them out." The contestants groaned in disappointment.
"Maybe we should huddle together for warmth," Jasmine suggested.
Ripper promptly smiled and tried to huddle with Heather, but the mean girl quickly held him back at arm's length and grabbed Rodney to huddle with instead. Anne Maria and Topher quickly closed in around Caleb, and a touching tune played as Chase moved closer to Millie and gave her a smile that made her smile back.
"Little chilly without mittens," Chris commented.
"Cocoa?" Chef asked with a styrofoam cup in his hand; he was wearing a sleeveless down jacket and trapper hat over his usual clothes.
"Don't mind if I do!" Chris said, happily accepting the beverage.
As he drank, the camera cut away to Brick as he shot a smile off-screen. The focus cut to Jasmine as she huddled alone, the tall girl noticing her ex's look and smiling back at him.
"Ahhh," Chris sighed, the camera cutting back to him as he finished his drink, "much better."
Sam zipped over to him in an instant. "Are you gonna finish that?" he asked.
"Of course he is," Topher answered for the host as he zipped over to them. "It's Chris's favorite drink."
"Wrong," Chris corrected. "My favorite drink is tomato juice."
"Tomato juice?" Topher felt surprised. "I've never tried that."
"You should one day, Toph," Chris said. "It gives me the energy to feel fresh and cool."
"I eat berries," Topher conversed. "They give my skin that camera worthy glow and-"
The host cut him off by putting his mitten-wearing hand over his mouth. "Okay okay," Chris said hastily. "Moving on!"
A flash took the scene back to Chris addressing the line of shivering teenagers. "Crossing the icy river and Canada's frozen tundra used to be easy," he told them, "back when the river was frozen solid. But thanks to global warming, Earth is finally becoming a lot more interesting. By which I mean...deadly!" he lurched forward in a sudden attempt to scare the cast, but they just shivered on without flinching.
"Today's challenge is called 'Total Drama the Icicle'," Chris announced. "Teams must make their way across this watery chasm," the shot changed back to an aerial perspective as the host motioned behind him and the camera panned to follow, "by jumping from ice floe to ice floe." The camera lingered on the hunks of floating ice before returning to Chris' close-up.
"First team member across must make their way to the dogsleds on the far shore and become the dog." The shot followed his thumb across the river and zoomed in on a trio of sleds; one that looked sleek and new, one that looked more like an antique, and one that looked like some crates tied to a toboggan. "Pulling the sled all the way to the finish line," the camera panned up, following a trail of flags going up a tall hill and over to an icy cliff where the finish line banner was, "as you grab the rest of your team along the way at marked meeting points."
"Sleds are first-come, first-serve, so, move fast," Chris explained over one shot of Team Warrior gawking upwards, and another of Team Super doing the same. "Don't worry," the host addressed the cast, "if you fall into the water we're legally required to save you. So! We have two divers downstream ready to pull you out."
The shot quick-panned to two people in scuba suits who had been frozen into solid cubes; one had even flipped upside down.
"Are you guys ready for some mad ice floe jumping?" Chase quickly asked his teammates. "Cause this young daredevil is kicking it into high gear!"
"Whoever doesn't land at the sled head straight for the finish line," Ripper whispered to his teammates. "That way we won't waste time stopping at every meeting point." The other four accepted the plan.
"What is the reward for this challenge?" Jasmine asked.
"Did I say reward?" Chris replied with an impish smile.
"We have already had two eliminations," Jasmine told the host. "We're overdue."
"It has to be a reward," Rodney spoke up. "There aren't enough people for there to be an elimination every time."
"Yeah, but, we found teams try harder during elimination challenges," Chris explained. "So, this year, there's no set routine. Every challenge could end in elimination!" He chuckled, and the cast moaned and griped in protest. "That's the spirit! On your mark!" Chef walked up to him some kind of horn-based instrument. "Get set! Go!" He waved his hand down, and at the signal Chef blew the horn. It sounded enough like a bellowing moose that an actual bull moose raised its head in interest.
The contestants started to run. Rodney was the first to jump onto an ice floe, but he immediately lost his traction and flailed his legs all the way into the water.
"Make sure to look before you leap!" Jasmine said as she easily leaped from the first ice floe to the next.
"How did you not slip and fall into the water?" Rodney asked through chattering teeth.
"You jumped onto the ice too hard. You only had to run," Jasmine said and jumped off, leaving Rodney to frown.
Confessional: Rodney
"I'm one of the least talked about contestants on the fan blogs," Rodney stated, "which is understandable since I competed in one season, but six others failed to compete as well."
The country boy looked at the window. "I don't normally care about what people think of me, but I have to prove to them that I'm not lackluster."
Confessional Ends
The scene cut back to Chase effortlessly jumping from one chunk of ice to the next by doing handsprings, the music ending as the camera quick-panned back to the shore of the river where Brick and Millie were standing together and viewing their teammate.
"If Chase can do it, we can too. Let's thrust!" Brick said before jumping to the nearest floe and landing on his face.
"Brick!" Millie panicked. "Hang on!"
"I don't think that's a good idea!" Brick tried to warn Millie, but the latter jumped towards the same piece of ice that he was on.
The author landed on the ice and catapulted Brick into the air. As the army boy flew off screen, Millie followed him with her eyes and winced at the sound of a crash.
"Sooo, I'll just thrust ahead," Millie told Brick, who was buried in the snow with only his bottom half showing. "Hope that's okay with you."
The camera focused on Gwen as she ran across a path of ice chunks. "This isn't complicated at all!" she said.
Anne Maria landed on an ice block. "I'm doing good so far!" she said, only for the floe to crack, leaving her in peril.
Topher heard her cries and saw her about to fall into the water. "Hang on Anne Maria!" he shouted before going back to save her… only to crash into Sam and they both slipped and fell.
Luckily, Caleb was able to rescue Anne Maria from falling by pulling her back. "Nobody's getting frozen today."
"You're a lifesaver," Anne Maria smiled at her teammate.
Back to Sam and Topher, the camera panned down to show that a polar bear had tipped the floe in an attempt to get the two in the water.
A chunk of ice hit the bear on the head and Eva was heard saying "Step off, polar bear!" The shot cut to her readying another chunk as she continued "I'm not going to let you murder us and get away with it!"
The bear woozily fell back into the water and let go of the floe. "Thanks for the save Eva!" Sam shouted back.
"I'd be heartless if I let you guys get frozen like that," Eva explained.
Meanwhile, Millie was kneeling on a chunk of ice and using a swordfish to paddle herself. "Chris never said anything about paddling, so I can't be penalized for this."
The scene flashed back to Ripper and Heather as the two jumped onto the same patch of ice. Heather slipped and almost slid off into the water, but Ripper grabbed her hand before she could.
"Why did you just save me?" Heather accused. "We're on different teams."
"Because I care about people's safety," Ripper replied with a charming smile.
Confessional: Heather
"No way," Heather declared in the confessional. "I did not fall for that smile one bit, and Ripper is so totally out of my league. Plus, he won the million dollars last season, so I'm not going to keep him around."
Confessional: Ripper
"I don't know what makes Heather so hot," Ripper said in the confessional. "It could be her frown, long hair, or natural beauty, but I do know that I have to give her an opportunity to like me."
Confessionals End
The scene flashed back to Millie paddling, but Chase stopped jumping just to talk to her. "Why are you paddling when you could jump onto the floes?" he asked his girlfriend.
"My boots are too slippery and could crack the floes with enough force," Millie replied. "This is safer."
"You could come in last," Chase added.
"I know, but I can just wait for the sled and join you guys," Millie explained.
"If that's what you want, then I can't stop you," Chase responded before going away.
The shot moved back to Heather and Ripper, this time on two different floes close together. "Jump!" Ripper told her. "I'll catch you."
Heather did as told and jumped, but she timed it wrong and ended up crashing into Ripper. The two fell over and wound up kissing, leaving the bully to smile and the queen bee to shriek.
"Why did you kiss me?" Heather asked with an angry glance.
"Why did you fall onto me?" Ripper replied, still smiling. "If anything, you kissed me."
"Let's agree to forget that ever happened!" Heather declared as she stood up and looked away from him.
"You can, but I won't," Ripper replied as he stood up. "That was my second kiss ever, the first one being with Izzy in the horror movie challenge."
"Why can't you still crush on her rather than me?"
"Because the ship has sailed away from her for good."
Confessional: Heather
"I wonder how he'd react if I told him that I set Izzy up to be eliminated?" Heather said thoughtfully. "It'll probably get him to stop crushing on me."
Confessional Ends
"I'm not too far from the sleds. Cool," Scott celebrated as he finished getting through the blocks of ice and ran to the sleds.
Sky was moving comfortably until she saw Rodney. "Rodney. Hi," she greeted politely.
"Sky, can I ask you a question?" Rodney asked.
"I'm open," Sky smiled.
"I want to know why the fanbase doesn't talk about me like they do about you," Rodney said.
"Really?" Sky grew concerned.
"The fanbase either doesn't care about me or ignores me," Rodney mentioned. "You, on the other hand, have fans that love you."
"I'm just being myself," Sky explained. "I may not be exciting, but I don't want to change myself just to fit in."
"I already know that," Rodney said. "I want people to talk about me on occasion, but I don't want to change my appearance or how I act."
"All I'm going to say is that you should work on your own flaws and make your own mark in the game," Sky let the country boy know before moving on to the next floe as Rodney thought about what he was told.
Back at the shoreline, Ripper and Heather jumped off a final hunk of ice and landed on the far shore.
"Are you trying to make a secret alliance with me by following me?!" Heather accused.
"What, no," Ripper denied. "I just want to make it to the finish line."
"That's good to know," Heather nodded and stormed off.
Confessional: Ripper
"And I thought my cousins had trust issues," Ripper muttered.
Confessional Ends
The scene flashed to Anne Maria jumping to an ice floe and then to shore as the camera panned to the right a little showing Chris watching nearby. "I made it!" she cheered upon landing on the shore.
"Good job," Chris told her as she began to run off. "And lucky you, Scott got here first!"
"Obviously," Anne Maria replied.
"He's on dog duty, so you get to kick back and enjoy the ride!" Chris added as the shot changed to show the dirt boy next to the tow harness of the newest-looking sled as Anne Maria ran up.
"I hope you got enough muscle in you, Dirt Brain," Anne Maria told her teammate.
"Luckily, nobody on our team is heavy enough and we're only at five players," Scott said. "And about that Dirt Brain crack, nice one."
"It wasn't a compliment, but whatever," Anne Maria said nonchalantly.
Confessional: Scott
"As long as she's not going to whip me, I'll take any insults towards me in stride," Scott emphasized.
Confessional: Anne Maria
"I would've preferred Sky or Caleb pulling for us, but I trust that Scott is smart enough to not screw up this part," Anne Maria mentioned.
Confessionals End
The scene cut to Brick and Rodney running past Chris and were shown skidding to a stop in front of the old-fashioned sled at around the same time.
"Rodney, first member of your team to arrive," Chris said while walking over to them. "Grab a sled and start pulling."
"But we got here at the same time!" Rodney complained. "Shouldn't we both pull the sled!"
"Yeaaaaaah, no," Chris said bluntly. "In the event of a tie, we go alphabetically from the last letter to the first."
"Those are the rules," Brick told his teammate while quickly stepping into the sled. "Get to it." Rodney sighed while Brick put on a furry Russian ushanka hat.
"Neither of us invented the alphabet, but it is what it is," Rodney said.
The shot cut to Gwen racing from the shore to the sleds; just as she passed Chris, she skidded to a stop in front of the final sled, made up of mostly crates and tanks with the radioactive insignia. "Oh no!" she complained.
"'Fraid so," Chris confirmed.
"Sorry 'bout your predicament," Jasmine said as she walked past Chris.
Gwen looked from the Aussie back to the sled, and gasped upon noticing the black-and-yellow insignias. "Is the box radioactive?" she asked the host.
"Ehh, what isn't radioactive these days?" Chris told her.
"I'll eat a piece of my hair if Wawanakwa becomes radioactive!" Gwen snarked.
"Got it!" Scott cheered as the shot cut back to him fastening the snaps of his harness while Sam got on the sled. He started running, and the sled was pulled smoothly behind him.
"Winners circle for Team Super, here we come!" Anne Maria cheered as her teammate pulled her and Sam through a few trees and past Team Explosive.
"How do you work this thing?!" Rodney asked as he tried to put his own harness on.
"That's not our problem. It's yours," Scott replied as he pulled his team ahead.
"So much for sportsmanship," Brick said to himself.
Gwen hooked herself and started to pull her sled along with Jasmine, and Brick saw them pass by him. "Are you done Rodney?" he wondered.
"I got it on!" Rodney finally got the harness on and took off past Chris, who was watching in the foreground.
"Will anyone survive the coldest challenge in Total Drama history?" Chris asked the camera. "Place your bets and cross your fingers. The results, after this."
(Commercial Break)
The footage resumed on a long-distance shot of Caleb walking across the snowy tundra together.
"Wow is it cold out here," Caleb said as he shivered. "I wish I had a sweater right now."
Confessional: Caleb
"I'm a strong guy, though that doesn't prevent me from turning into a popsicle like the rest of the frozen animals in the water," Caleb confessed. "I just hope we don't lose twice in a row. That'd be highly risky for me with me being the new guy."
Confessional Ends
A flash took the scene to Team Super's sled as they made their way across the landscape. Sam was shown looking about, and finally saw someone off-screen. "Slow, Scott! Slow!" he said, the camera quick-panning over to reveal Sky waiting next to one of the meeting point flags.
Scott slowed down for Sky to get on the sled, then began to move again.
"You're making good progress," Sky complimented.
"I know. We just need Caleb and we'll win," Scott replied and continued running.
Confessional: Scott
"If I win today's challenge for my team, that'll likely decrease my chances of being voted for and I can be seen as a man worth keeping," Scott said with a smile. "I've probably used this strategy before, but I don't want to dwell on that."
Confessional Ends
"If you see anyone, call out!" Rodney commanded as the shot cut to Team Explosive's sled.
"Copy that!" Brick said.
"Start looking around!" Rodney ordered as Chase ran up to, then jumped on, the sled.
"Chase just got on the sled with us!" Brick pointed out.
"That leaves us with two people we have to locate!" Rodney told him.
The scene flashed over to Team Warrior. "Have you seen anyone yet?" Gwen asked her teammate.
"Not as of yet," Jasmine said as she looked around.
"Do you think they went to the finish line?" Gwen asked.
Jasmine turned around to see Eva behind them. "Absolutely not," she said excitedly.
"What?" Gwen asked, slowing down and looking back over her shoulder to see Eva hop on to the sled.
"It's a good thing I was just around," Eva said.
The shot cut to Topher walking up to a meeting point flag. "Ripper did say go to the finish line, but I'm just going to wait here and not get lost."
He looked around until he saw his team's sled arriving. "Get on. The sooner we gather Ripper, the sooner we can win," Jasmine told him.
"Right," Topher agreed and got on their sled.
"And after me and my online team scored our biggest win in Dominator Gladiator, I blew a fuse and my house lost its power for a day," Sam said to Sky and Anne Maria as the scene cut back to them getting pulled along in their sled.
"How did your family handle it?" Sky questioned.
"After they got the power running, I got a two week video game ban, but the victory was worth it," Sam said.
"Uh, guys?" Scott spoke up.
"What is it?" Sky asked.
"I hate to pause your conversation, but I can see Caleb," Scott said as he slowed down for Caleb to join the team.
"We have everyone accounted for," Sam said as he looked at everyone. "We can go to the finish line now."
"Got it," Scott started to pull the sled again.
Meanwhile, Team Explosive stopped when they saw Millie. "Need a lift?" Chase asked.
"Absolutely!" Millie said. "Waiting here has been exhausting.
The shot cut back to Heather and Ripper as they stood near the same meeting point. The camera cut to a long distance shot of Team Explosive coming up to the meeting point.
"Finally my ride's about to be here," Heather commented.
"And mine isn't," Ripper added.
"True," Heather said, "but I can finally be away from you!"
"If you don't like me, then just tell me," Ripper said. "I'm good with rejection."
Heather was about to respond, but a plan formulated in her head. "Before I do, you wouldn't mind if I plucked my eyebrows, right?" she asked sweetly.
"Go ahead," Ripper shrugged. "I don't want you to feel bad about yourself."
As soon as his back was turned, Heather grabbed a handful of snow, formed it into a snowball, and chucked it at Ripper, causing him to hit the flagpole.
Ripper tried to pull himself off, but couldn't as he saw that his tongue was frozen to the pole. "Oh no! My tongue is frozen to the pole!"
Confessional: Heather
"How big of a sucker is that goofball?" Heather remarked.
Confessional Ends
Heather watched with a grin as Ripper tried to remove himself from the pole. "Who did this to me?" he demanded, his voice muffled due to his predicament.
"That person would be me," Heather told him remorselessly.
"But why, Heather?!" Ripper asked. "What did I ever do to you?!"
"You got in my way, and I'm just letting you down the best way I can," Heather said ruthlessly. "I'll never fall in love with a loser like you!"
This caused Ripper to scowl heavily at her. "I can't believe I liked you after you did this to me!"
"I just want to win. Don't take it personally," Heather scoffed. She then saw Team Explosive come near her, and she whispered in the burly boy's ear "And by the way, I was the one who sabotaged Izzy in the last challenge."
Ripper's eyes widened in pure shock, and as he watched Heather jump onto her team's sled and be taken off, he shot heavy daggers at the direction she took off to. "That girl is bad!"
The scene flashed to Team Explosive currently ahead. "What's wrong, Chase?" Brick noticed his sad face.
"I haven't eaten in hours," Chase answered. "I wish we were in Russia right now. They're building the world's largest cake."
"I beg your pardon?!" Millie got excited. "What flavor?"
"Who cares? It's cake!" Chase said.
"Okay Rodney, what did you stop moving?" Brick asked Rodney, who was failing to dash ahead and was stuck moving in one place.
"I am moving!" Rodney shot back.
"No. You're miming," Millie deadpanned.
"It's my shoes," Rodney grunted. "They're not good on ice!" He stopped running in time for Team Warrior to get past.
Meanwhile, Ripper was looking for a way to get his tongue out. "I can't lose my tongue now," he said to himself, his voice still muffled by the pole.
Just then, the sound of an engine caused the shot to zoom back out a little as Chris drove up on a red snowmobile.
"Oh dear," he said with faux concern. "How did this happen?"
"I got pushed to the flagpole and now I can't get my tongue out!" Ripper explained the situation.
"This all sounds very heartfelt. I bet it would be an amazing song!" Chris grinned and the music note symbol appeared on-screen with its usual dings.
"Right now? I have a problem!" Ripper scowled at the narcissistic host.
It was then that Team Super entered the shot. "Whoa!" Chris said, causing the sled to skid to a halt. "Hello, backup singers!" At Chris' excited announcement, the team moaned.
"I thought you'd forgotten the music challenge this time!" Anne Maria complained.
"As if! It's my favorite part!" Chris said.
A rock anthem started to play as Ripper looked at his pole.
"I never believed I'd be stuck in this mess!" Ripper sang as Anne Maria and Sky popped up in front of the screen and sang "Ooh, mess."
"Almost as bad as online death threats (Ooh, threats)!"
"And even though I was on a roll (Ooh, roll)!"
"I ended up… stuck to a pole!" Ripper sang his last part higher as he clenched the pole.
"He got stuck, should've ducked, worst of luck! Stuck, stuck to a po~oole!" The boys of Team Super were singing this line as the scene transitioned to an empty pole. From bottom to top, Caleb, Sam, and Scott grabbed the pole, and when the camera stopped on Scott, he tried to take his hand off, but couldn't do so since they were stuck.
"I fell for her own gorgeous head (Ooh, head)!"
"And when I lost my guard, she jumped on a sled (Ooh, sled)!"
"Unless I want to be in last place (Ooh, place)!"
"I want warm water poured on my face!" Ripper begged with extreme passion and desire.
"He got stuck, should've ducked, worst of luck! Stuck, stuck to a po~oole!"
Caleb, Sam, and Scott marched over and sang, even snapping their fingers as they did so.
"Stuck, stuck to a po~oole!" The members of Team Super finished the song with a group pose. The boys kneeled on the floor and Sky and Anne Maria slid in opposite directions.
Chris clapped at the song. "Very nice."
"But seriously, pour water on my face," Ripper begged.
"Super saps... be gone!" Chris told the team, causing them to get on the sled and leave.
"Wait! I need hot water!" Ripper yelped.
"Wish I could, but I only have the one bottle. Sorry," Chris told him before taking out a bottle and drank water from it. After drinking all of it, he threw the bottle on the ground before getting on his sled.
Not taking any chances, Ripper grabbed the bottle and aimed it at his tongue, only to realize that the water wasn't coming out. "Good luck!" Chris mocked him as he passed, causing the boy to deliver a furious look at him.
A flash took the scene to Team Warrior moving through the snow and actively searching for something.
"Has anyone seen Ripper?" Gwen asked.
"I surely haven't," Topher said.
"He must have decided to continue on to the finish," Jasmine said.
"Guess we'll have to meet him there," Gwen said, determined.
Another flash put the focus on Rodney as he struggled to pull the rest of Team Explosive over a narrow icy arch.
"We're almost there! Keep moving!" Heather encouraged.
The camera zoomed in on the ice they were standing on just as cracks started to form in it. The shot zoomed out to show the ice below the sled breaking away, causing the members of Team Explosive to scream for their lives.
As he was attached to the sled by a rope, Rodney was yanked along with them as they fell. The shot zoomed in to the edge of the broken ice as he slid past, arms out in front as they tried to grab hold… which they finally did. The viewpoint moved to the bottom of the icy valley they had been crossing, showing the human chain that Team Explosive had become: Heather hanging onto Millie hanging onto Chase hanging onto Brick hanging onto the sled tied to Rodney who was holding them all up.
Confessional: Rodney
"I've got super strong fingers," Rodney explained in the restroom confessional with a proud smile. "I can break anything into pieces if I utilize them more. I don't like to abuse my powers as you call it."
Confessional Ends
The scene cut back to Team Warrior as they continued on.
"I see something that isn't snow!" Eva told her team while peeking ahead.
"That's the finish line!" Topher announced. "Keep moving!"
"Nobody else is around! We're going to come in first place for the second time in a row!" Gwen hooted.
The four teens began to cheer as they headed to the finish.
Back with Team Explosive, the teens climbed up one by one. "Thanks for saving us," Millie told Rodney as she climbed over the country boy and onto the ice.
"We sure cheated death today," Heather added as she was shown joining the other three on top of the icy cliff.
"Thanks," Rodney told them, struggling to pull the sled up as well. He finally managed to get it back over the edge, but in doing so caused it to fly forward over him. His teammates cheered as the sled landed by them, and they quickly grabbed on as it slid along. Rodney cried in pain, bouncing and tumbling as he was dragged along behind them.
The viewpoint changed to a long-distance shot of the finish line, where Team Warrior was quickly approaching with Team Super not too far behind... and Team Explosive rapidly entered the shot from the slope on the left.
"Quick," Brick said, "everybody lean forward!" The team complied, and the sled seemed to speed up. Rodney was still dragging behind them, even smacking into an icy crag.
The shot focused in on the finish line just as Team Warrior crossed it and cheered; mere seconds later, the speeding sled of Team Explosive passed Team Super and stole second from them.
"Second place again?!" Heather complained.
"Hey, it's not last," Chase said as the rest of them cheered. The shot panned to the left, where Rodney stuck his arm out of the snow and cheered as well.
"Elimination ceremony, here we come," Sam commented sadly.
"Actually, Team Warrior crossed the finish line without Ripper," Chris told them, "so they come in last."
"He's not here?" Jasmine asked. "He told us to run to the finish line if we don't see any flagpoles!"
"Which means Team Super is in second place, and Team Explosive takes first!" Chris announced.
Chase and Brick shared a high-five, and Heather and Millie hugged in celebration... only to quickly retract with awkwardness.
Confessional: Ripper
"I can't believe the nerve of Heather!" Ripper exclaimed. "Getting my tongue stuck in a pole and eliminating Izzy! MK, I hate you less than I do her now!"
Confessional Ends
The camera cut to a shot of the jumbo jet flying through the air. The camera cut inside to the elimination room, where the five members of Team Warrior were sitting before Chris. Ripper had the pole removed from his tongue.
"Warriors! I have peanut-filled barf bags for the four of you who get to stay," Chris opened with the tray sitting next to him. "Gwen and Jasmine, you're safe," he said as he tossed the first two bags to the goth and tall girl who caught them easily and shared a smile. "Eva, so are you." The unibrowed girl also accepted her prize.
"So, it's down to Topher and Ripper," Chris said as the shot cut to the worried faces of the two guys. "Topher, you weren't able to locate your teammate before coming to the finish line." Topher rolled his eyes.
"Ripper, reasons for you to take the plunge include making out with a pole," Chris continued, causing everyone to look at Ripper. "Actually, that's it. Pole kissing."
He noticed Chef walking up behind him. "If we're both here," he asked, "who's flying the plane?"
"I have it covered," Chef answered.
The shot cut to the inflatable balloon version of Chef Hatchet floating in the copilot's seat in the cockpit. "I repeat," came a voice over the radio, "uncharted aircraft this is a no-fly zone, over." Obviously, the balloon gave no response. "...Hello?"
"The final barf bag goes to..." Chris announced as the two boys looked on.
"Topher."
"Phew!" Topher sighed while getting his peanuts.
"Ripper. Any final words before taking the Drop of Shame?" Chris asked the boy walking to the door.
"Yes I do," Ripper said. "The person who shoved me into the pole was-"
"Oh! Would you look at the time?!" Chris joked before hurling a parachute at Ripper's head, causing him to fly out with a scream.
The shot cut to the bully as he opened the chute, but it didn't slow him down.
"DON'T TRUST THE NEWBIE!" Ripper shouted out his final words, but unfortunately since his tongue wasn't fully thawed out, no one understood him clearly.
"Who knew he weighed that much?" Chris commented idly as he and the remaining members of Team Warrior looked out the window. "Did not see that coming."
Confessional: Heather
"Sayonara, Ripper," Heather chuckled. "That should show him and Team Warrior not to cross me."
Confessional: Rodney
"I did a great job today," Rodney told the restroom camera. "I saved everyone's lives with my bare fingers and scored the team our first win. Now that's what I like to call making my mark." He crossed his arms and smiled in satisfaction.
The restroom door suddenly opened to reveal Chris. "Which other marks will Rodmaster make in the season?" the host asked, leaning into the restroom.
"Call me Rodney!" Rodney protested.
"Find out next time," Chris winked, "on Total!" The shot cut outside the plane, showing most but not all of it. "Drama!" Another zoom-out as the season's dramatic musical signature played showed the whole of the jet. "Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!" The camera zoomed out even further from the plane as it wobbled slightly.

"My third kiss was with a pole of all things," Ripper complained as he fell. "My brothers will make fun of me for weeks because of that, but they won't be laughing when they find out that I kissed another girl, who is evil but still!"
"I had a pretty good run last season, and after winning the million, this is a good place for me to get eliminated in," he went on. "I just wished that Heather wasn't the one to cause all this though."
The camera panned down to a large chocolate cake, revealing that Ripper was falling into Russian territory as an instrumental tune of Russian music played in the background.
"Comrades! It took two years, two hundred bakers, and two thousand tons of icing. But Russia is finally home to the world's largest cake!" A Russian man told three of his comrades about the cake.
The men noticed Ripper falling, and before they knew it, he landed on the cake, destroying it and covering everyone from head to toe with chocolate icing.
Ripper licked off a piece of icing on his lips and smiled in satisfaction. "Chocolate cake rocks!"
Team Explosive: Brick, Chase, Heather, Millie, Rodney
Team Super: Anne Maria, Caleb, Sam, Scott, Sky
Team Warrior: Eva, Gwen, Jasmine, Topher
MK - 17th
Izzy - 16th
Ripper - 15th
Author's Note: Ripper already won the second season so he didn't really need to win again. I just hope the way Heather eliminated him was satisfying.
