Chris McLean: "Last time on Total Drama, Samus took home another win in our Cliffhanger Showdown, proving she's not one to be messed with! Unfortunately for Jacky, the elimination wheel wasn't as kind, and he got rocketed out of the competition! With only 13 legends left, the stakes are higher than ever! Who's going to rise to the occasion, and who will crash and burn? Let's find out on this episode of…
Total!
Drama!
Battle of the Legends!"

Captain Falcon: "Every challenge is getting tougher. With the numbers dwindling, everyone's got to watch their back. Especially when the wheel is in play."

Heihachi: "The more contestants we lose, the more intense this gets. But I'm not going anywhere."
Static
King K. Rool: "I've been playing it smart so far, but I'm going to have to start stepping it up. The competition is fierce."
Static
Samus: "Two wins in a row. Let's see if I can keep this streak going."
Static
Scene: Chris gathers the contestants on the beach once again. The mood is tense, with the remaining competitors sizing each other up.
Chris: "Alright, legends! Today's challenge is a classic, but with a twist! Welcome to... Stranded in Style!"
The camera zooms out to reveal a series of makeshift rafts floating just off the coast, each equipped with various supplies, from paddles to random pieces of junk.
Chris: "You'll each have to build your own raft from the materials provided and race it around the island. But here's the twist: the rafts have to be stylish! The more creative and cool-looking your raft, the more bonus points you'll earn at the end! The winner is the one who not only finishes the race first but also impresses me and Chef with their raft design!"
The contestants exchange glances, some confident, others looking a bit nervous.
Chris: "You'll have one hour to build your rafts, and then the race is on! Time starts... now!"
The contestants scramble to the piles of materials, each trying to grab the best items for their raft. The camera cuts to the confessional as they work on their designs.
Static
Toad: "I'm going for something sleek and fast. Maybe add a little mushroom flair, you know, keep it on-brand."
Static
Flying Man: "As long as it flies, I'm happy. I'm thinking wings... lots of wings."
Static
MegamanEXE: "I'm not much of a designer, but I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. Let's see how this goes."
Static
Gilgamesh: "A king's raft must be majestic! I'm going for gold, literally."
Static
Scene: The camera cuts back to the beach as the contestants are finishing up their rafts. Some are looking more creative than others. Samus has built a streamlined, futuristic raft, while King K. Rool's raft looks more like a floating fortress. The Inklings have splattered their raft with colorful ink designs, making it stand out.
Chris: "Time's up! Let's see what you've got!"
The contestants line up their rafts, and Chris and Chef inspect each one, making notes. After a quick review, Chris gives the signal to start the race.
Chris: "On your marks... get set... go!"
The contestants push their rafts into the water and start paddling around the island. The race is chaotic, with some contestants struggling to keep their rafts afloat while others surge ahead. The camera cuts to the confessional as the race progresses.
Static
Knuckles: "This is tougher than it looks. I'm putting everything I've got into this."
Static
Geno: "I need to stay focused. One wrong move, and it's over."
Static
As the race continues, it becomes clear that Samus, Captain Falcon, and Knuckles are in the lead, but the stylish designs of the Inklings' raft and King K. Rool's floating fortress catch Chris's attention.
In a final push, Samus crosses the finish line first, but Chris holds up a hand.
Chris: "Hold up! This isn't just about speed. Let's see how your rafts stack up in the style department!"
Chris and Chef deliberate for a moment, then turn back to the contestants.
Chris: "Samus, you were the fastest, but I've got to hand it to the Inklings—your raft was the most stylish! So the win goes to... the Inklings!"
The Inklings cheer, while the other contestants groan in disappointment.
Chris: "Alright, you know what time it is. Let's spin that wheel!"
Scene: The contestants gather around the elimination wheel, the tension thick in the air. Chef steps up and gives it a hard spin. The camera zooms in on the contestants' anxious faces as the wheel slowly comes to a stop...
and lands on Gilgamesh.
Chris: "Gilgamesh, the wheel has spoken. Your reign ends here."
Gilgamesh looks shocked but quickly regains his composure, nodding in acceptance.
Gilgamesh: "A king knows when to bow out gracefully. Farewell, competitors."
Chris: "And now, for your humiliating way home... the Cannonball Express!"
The camera pans to a giant cannon mounted on the beach. Gilgamesh is loaded into the cannon, which is aimed out over the ocean.
Chris: "Any last words, Gilgamesh?"
Gilgamesh: "Only that I shall return... someday."
With that, the cannon fires, launching Gilgamesh into the distance with a loud bang.
Chris: "And that's another legend launched! Who will survive the next challenge, and who will be the next to take the Cannonball Express? Tune in next time to find out on…
Total!
Drama!
