Chapter 14
Authors Notes
Welcome back to another episode of Total Mix-Up Island! This was a fun chapter to write, it's probably one of the funniest challenges in this season just because of the premise of this challenge. I find it really entertaining that they could actually eat this stuff without puking up until the very end.
In regards to the reviewers,
Zeke the Prophet : Yeah, I at least wanted to give her a fair chance at getting booted off and not just cheated out of her spot in the competition. Dave giving Heather ideas is for his own safety in the barely surviving alliance. Dawn knowing about Heather framing Duncan fits her. I feel like she knows a lot about a lot of people simply because of their auras. Haha yeah, Ella will be confronting Heather about what has been happening.
amit : Yeah, I love a lot of the traditional cast, but I wanted to give characters who didn't have much time on screen more time to shine. Yes, both of Heather's teammates know her true nature, and both are handling their survival differently. You'll have to see how Dawn fares now that Heather is targeting her. Also, thank you for pointing out the Jo issue! I went back and made her more realistic in that situation, so it fits better.
Gucci Mane LaFlare : Yeah…this chapter was hard to write without Harold. I did my best to stir up some more drama for future episodes, but not much was actually done in this episode. I appreciate that, I think Ella knowing 100% for a fact now that this is Heather and not just her being upset will give her some massive development. Mike is starting to let his secret slip out without him even noticing, and Vito hasn't even needed to be introduced yet. He will show up however. And yes, Dawn also confronting Heather will be interesting that's for sure.
Shuffollower : Haha I'm glad to be back! Missed it all for sure! I'm glad you caught onto Dawn's show of grace! It doesn't happen much but I felt it needed more attention than it got in canon. Yeah I wanted to have Courtney going out fairly this time, with a little more to be desired, because now Heather thinks she's gotten away with it now that she knows only Dawn knows her secret. I thought having Zoey doubt Jo's treatment of her and Ella having overheard Heather make for some interesting plots for the upcoming future.
millikan : Haha I wanted to give some others some development other than everyone's favorites. That's the plan at least, not that they won't not be developed. Stay tuned to find out what happens with Mike and Ella!
romeoaifesili : thank you! It's been a ton of fun throughout the first half, can't wait to finish the second half! Honestly, I didn't even notice the parallel until after I had uploaded the chapter. Looking back I find it really ironic and almost poetic that she gets booted in the episode where her saboteur gets booted off in canon, so it's definitely karma. Ella's decision will be a very impactful decision, can't wait for you all to see.
Ok, now with that finished, onto the last 'team' episode before the merge! Can't wait for you all to experience that! Here's chapter 14

P.S. Since teams don't really matter much anymore, I will be doing Guys/Girls instead of teams to list competitors.

(Start Episode)
"In the last episode of Total Drama Island," Chris begins in his usual manner, the capstone theme fading in, "the campers tapped into their adrenaline junkie side and played my version of the X-Games, with a swanky new mobile shower on the line!" he continues, clips of the campers skydiving, riding Bucky, and the epic water ski finale appearing on screen. "Some campers did really well for their team, and others..did not.." Chris plainly says, Dawn is shown gracefully landing and dodging obstacles while simultaneously grabbing flags, and Dave squinting while skydiving before slamming into the sand both play on screen.
"Thanks to Jasmine's clumsiness and Courtney's less than stellar sea-doo driving skills, the Killer Bass walked away with the win...again." Chris voices, the Bass team shown celebrating their victory, running up to their newest prize, the mobile shower. "And because Courtney wasn't able to slow down Dawn at all...she got the boot just after she got a clue about who framed her boyfriend. Hahaha! Ohhh that's too funny." Chris laughs as Courtney is shown gasping when Dawn yells that she knows who framed Duncan, flashing to the dock as she is taken down to the boat by Chef after the campfire ceremony.
Chris walks out into the dining hall, Chef standing next to him as they snicker.
"Only eleven campers remain. Will Ella confront Heather about what she overheard? And will Dave ever man up and fight his own battles? Find out, on Total, Drama, Island!" the host shouts, the camera zooming out with every word.
(Fade to Intro)
Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine
You guys are on my mind
You asked me what I wanted to be
And now I think the answer is plain to see
I wanna be famous
I wanna live close to the sun
Well pack your bags cause I've already won
Everything to prove nothing in my way
I'll get there one day
Cause I wanna be famous
(Nananananana nanananana nanananana)
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
(Nananananana nanananana nanananana)
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
(Nananananana nanananana nanananana)

The rising sun bathes the island in the orange glow, a gaggle of geese flying over the pines in a V formation.

Chris and Chef lean against the door of the main lodge as the campers walk into the dining hall, smiles adorned on their faces. Mike, Dave, and Zoey walk in, looking rather tired. "Wait, no breakfast?" Mike asks, looking around in confusion. "Oh, don't worry bro. There will be plenty of food later on." Chris says, barely making his big smile. Mike walks away with a raised brow, the two hosts turning to each other and snickering as more of the campers walk in.
"What are you laughing about McLean?" Jo says, the two pausing momentarily to look at the jockette, before snickering even harder as the final few campers walk in. "Congrats to the remaining eleven campers for making it to the halfway mark in the competition!" Chris shouts with enthusiasm. "You'll all be on the journey for the final episode." he continues, Geoff cheering in excitement. "Yeah! Got the powa!" he cheers, the camera cutting back to Chris.
"The two teams will become one next week! But first, all of the girls will be moved to the Gophers cabin, and the guys to the Bass cabin. This week's challenge is as old as time itself...a battle of the sexes!"
Jo sticks her tongue out at the guys in a taunting manner, while Tyler gasps and glares back. "After everyone is settled in, I'll announce the challenge. And then you'll have a uhh...bite to eat." he hesitantly says, leaning towards Chef as they start to snicker once more. The teens watch with confused looks as they stop and turn their attention back to the teens.
"Ready for some good news? This week, no one will be going home. It's all reward, and it's a gooood one!" he says, the remaining campers cheering in excitement. "Okay, time to relocate. Let's move!" the host claps, the campers getting up to go move their belongings into their new cabins.
/
Outside the main lodge, the campers walk by with excited faces. Ella however, walked solemnly back to the cabins, her eyes down with a troubled expression. "What's the matter, are you doing ok Ella?" Heather asks, walking up to her with a small smile, Ella gasping at the sound of her voice. She flinches at Heathers touch, the Queen Bee looking at her with a now curious gaze. "What's up with you? Spit it out." she says, a now looking at Ella suspiciously.
"O-oh...it's nothing to worry about.." she trails off, Heather stepping away in suspicion. "May I interrupt?" a voice calmly states, Dawn stepping close to the princess with a soft smile. "Oh, Dawn! I'm excited to be spending more time with you now that we're in the same cabin!" She says, a look of relief washing over her face. "Oh yes, me as well. I truly do value our friendship." Dawn says, now giving Heather a frown.
/
In the girls cabin, Zoey grabs one of her bags and slings it over her shoulder, turning around just as Mike walks in the door. They bump into each other with a thud. "Oh, sorry Zoey." Mike sheepishly rubs the back of his head. "No it's ok, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." she replies, a blush forming on her face.
"It was a lot of fun being on the same team as you. I hope we can team up later too!" Mike smiles at the Indie Chick, who nods happily and wraps her arms around the boy. "Oh I'd love that!" she happily replies, Mike now flustered and blushing. Just as Zoey pulls away, Chris leans in to the cabin and grabs Zoey by the arm. "Big day ahead of us!" he shouts, quickly pulling her out of the cabin. "Bye Zoey…" Mike whispers, a look of sadness on his face.
"Don't worry dude, you'll see her again soon." A voice says, their arm wrapping around him. The camera zooms out to reveal the mystery person to be Geoff, a calm smile on his face. "Yeah, it'll just be different without being on her team all the time." the lanky boy replies, the the other guys walking in as well. "Don't worry bro, you've got us guys now!" the Party Boy replies, walking away from the boy to go claim his bunk.
/
As Zoey walks into the girls new cabin, a commotion can be heard coming from inside. "What do you mean you're in charge? I'm obviously the most capable person to head the girls team." Heather can be heard shouting in almost disbelief. "Don't make me laugh, you can barely hold an alliance together. I'm easily the most dominant player in this game, so I should lead you babies to show you how to win for once!" Jo shouts back, the two now shown to be standing in the middle of the room nearly butting heads while glaring daggers into one another.
"Why can't you two just let it go?" Jasmine butts in, pushing herself betweeen the two, now crossing their arms and turning away from the tall Australian. Jasmine sighs, smiling as Zoey slowly walks in. "Hey Zoey, welcome to the girls cabin." she smiles at the red head, who returns the gesture. "Thanks Jasmine, I bet it's gonna be fun!" she comments, setting her stuff down on a bed close to the door.
The camera cuts to Ella and Dawn, who both watch from their beds, one with a nervous face, the other with a dead stare, as if analyzing them from the inside out. "Zoey! Welcome to the cabin! Heather says, walking up to the girl with over enthusiasm. "We're so happy to actually live together with you girls from the Bass team." Jasmine raises her brow but says nothing, Jo walking back and pulling Zoey away.
"Don't listen to that idiot Zoey, she's just trying to get you to join her barely floating alliance with Ella and Dave." she glares at the Queen Bee, who huffs. "Mind your own damn business sweatsuit. I'm just trying to be friendly to her." she hisses. Ella whimpers, only Dawn noticing her mood. "Ella, no need to fret. I will always be your loyal friend." she says, the girl nodding in response, but says nothing to the mystic.

"I-i don't know who to trust anymore.." Ella says, voice quivering with every word. "Heather said she was my friend, but framed the man I who had my heart, got rid of his princess, and now is targeting probably my closest friend in this competition…" she whimpers, a tear falling down her face. "I just don't know what to do…" she puts her head in her hands, more tears falling.

"Ella is hiding the fact she doesn't trust anyone anymore because of the emotional manipulation that witch Heather imposed on her." Dawn growls, her mouth curling in anger. "I must make sure I can help Ella. She is one of my friends, and I cannot allow her to be in this state anymore." she confidently shouts, her clenched hand rising up in the air as if making a vow.
(static)
"Great! Just when I got rid of Courtney, Jo comes in and has to make things more complicated! I wanted to just have Jasmine to deal with, but now I have her and Dawn that can mess up my plans." Heather throws her hands up in desperation, growling in anger. "Zoey is the only wild card, so I need her to at least not hate me." she confesses, crossing her arms in annoyance.

"Alright, I'll back off, but we need a leader if we wanna survive the guys beating us today." she says, the other girls sighing in annoyance. "I hope the guys are getting aling better than this.." Jasmine mumbles, watching Heather and Jo argue once more.
/
Glasses clink together, the camera pulling out to show Geoff and Tyler drinking some apple juice, the other boys dancing to some music on Geoff's beatbox. "This is awesome guys!" Mike shouts, the guys clinking their glasses together. Tyler takes a big gulp of his juice and burps loudly. Geoff also downs his drink, and lets out a burp so loud, the cabin shakes, the trees outside lose some of their leaves, and the squirrels watching cover their ears, their fur falling off as well.
Brick, Mike, and Dave stare wide-eyed at Geoff in shock, their hair spiked backwards from the force of the burp. "I can taste apple in my eyes." Dave slowly says, falling to the ground in shock. "This guy deserves to be captain!" Brick shouts, the other boys cheering and nodding in agreement. "Speech, speech, speech!" they shout, grabbing a wooden stump for the Party Boy to stand on.
Brick and Tyler lift him up, the boy clearing his throat before beginning. "I owe it all to my big bro back home, for teaching me how to pull back and let her rip!" He shouts, burping once more. "Those chick are going down!" he cheers, the other shouting excitedly, Dave groaning as he wakes up.
/
"Ella, let's go to the main lodge. We need to talk some strategy about how to win todays challenge." Heather says, walking by the princess as she sits by Dawn, talking to the mystic. "Ella? That wasn't a question. Let's go!" she turns around and glares at the girl, who goes to get up, but is stopped by Dawn. "Her aura is much to messed up to be around you." she flatly tells the girl. "And what is that supposed to mean?" she asks, walking up to the petite girl, who defiantly stares back.
"I mean that you are a disturbance to peoples peace, and you stit up trouble for fun." she deadpans, Heather now growling in anger. She reaches for Ella to take her away, but Jasmine grabs her arm before she can grab a hold of the princess. "I think it's best if you listen to the lady and walk away." she frowns, Heather ripping her arm out of the Aussie's grasp.
"Fine, I'll give her some time. But she's still a part of my alliance. So she's with me." she glowers, slamming the door shut on the way out. "What was that all about?" Zoey asks from her bunk, Jo laying with her eyes closed beneath her. "Who cares, she's a hot headed loser, and Ella isn't ballsy enough to stand up for herself." she says, opening her eyes and hopping out of bed. "I'm heading out to get some air. See ya weirdos later." she nonchalantly, leaving the other girls to look at each other with awkward faces.
/
The camera zooms into the main lodge, the eleven remaining campers standing in front of Chris who holds a clipboard. "It's time...for todays challenge!" he says, holding up his pen excitedly. "Uhh, where's breakfast at?" Tyler asks, Chef and Chris snickering once again at the question. "Stop doing that!" heather shouts angrily.
"Let's just tell them…todays challenge is…the Brunch of Disgustingness!" the host announces, the camera zooming in as background becoming yellow with intensity.
The camera pans over both tables, six silver platters on one table, while five rest on the other. "You'll be getting a nine course meal. Each member of each team must finish each dish." the campers look at one another nervously, the host continuing to explain. "You will not know if the next meal is grosser than the last, just as gross, or not as gross." Chris slowly tells the teens, Chef pressing his fingers together in anticipation, a dark grin on his face. "Just know that it will likely be…gross." Chris explains.
"Tell them what they'll get if they win Chris!" he smiles, gameshow music playing as the background becomes yellow once more. "The winning team spends two days at the local five star resort where they'll be pampered, eat gourmet food, and receive antibiotic shots against while participating in this challenge!" the host exclaims, pictures of a massage table, someone eating shrimp, a man receiving a shot in his butt, and a picturesque sunset appear on screen as the host explained.
"The losing team will go hungry tonight, and spend two nights here, on Total Drama Island…with Chef." the host solemnly says, the hulking man putting on a disturbing smile, waving to the horrified teens. "We are not losing this challenge. I want to eat something real." Jo says, a determined look on her face.

"I really could use a break from the girls." Jasmine plainly confesses, looking annoyed as she continues. "I'm not really someone to enjoy massages and being pampered, but Heather and Jo give me such a headache it drives me crazy!" She cringes, holding her hat in frustration. "I'm gonna have to make sure we all get along today, or the guys will outnumber us soone than later."

"Hey testoster-dorks", Jo says, the guys looking back at the smug jockette. "You might as well give up, because all I smell is victory for the girls!" she says, taking a deep breath in through her nose. "I wouldn't count on it, I can stomach nearly anything, even my own shoe." Brick proudly proclaims while holding up his smelly boot. "I won't have to eat this will I?" he asks Chris gaining a nervous look.
"Let's begin the challenge." Chris starts, a grin on his face. "First, some Hors d'oeuvres!" he motions, Chef revealing the dish underneath the lid. Small, brown, bean-shaped meat sat before the competitors, who looked at it with confusion. "Nice, meatballs!" Geoff shouts, taking one and tossing it in his mouth. "Well...technically you're right Geoff. But these are kinda special." he points back to Chef, who hold one in his hand.
"It's beef testicles bourguignon." the cook smiles the camera flashing to a farm, where a crying bull lays on the ground crying, hands on his head in pain. The camera flashes back to a shocked Geoff, who's eyes go wide in realization. "Testicles?" he manages to get out before puking all over Brick, who gags in disgust.
The rest of the guys look at their plates, looks of pure pain on their faces. "I don't know if I can do this, it feels like I'm betraying every man." Mike says, looking at the aforementioned food item in his hand. Brick tosses some into his mouth, tears streaming down his face, and Dave looks down at his plate, shedding a single tear. "It's the hardest thing a man can do." Chris says in a solemn yet knowing voice.

"Seeing the way the guys were reacting to the uhh...dish, I knew we could win the round." Heather says, putting up her finger with a knowing smile.

The girls ate the dish with almost no hesitation, Heather and Jo ripping into them while the guys gasp in terror. "What's wrong? Can't handle a little meatball?" Heather mocks, the guys looking more nervous by the minute. Tyler turns back to the group, a determined look on his face. "We can't lose this guys, our manhood is at stake here!" he shouts, trying to rally them. Reluctantly, they start to eat their dish, the girls watching in amusement.
"Hey! Weird girl! Why aren't you eating? We're gonna lose!" Jo rushes over to a blank faced Dawn, whose plate sits untouched in front of her. "I cannot in good faith eat this poor animals genitals. I will not disgrace mother earth!" she says, turning away from the jockette, Zoey and Jasmine looking at each other with worry.

"I felt so bad watching Dawn struggle to eat. I had to help!" Zoey says to the confessional camera, her hands clasped together.

"Dawn, sometimes the bulls have to be castrated for medical reasons, maybe these came from bulls who went through that surgery to save their life!" she says, the mystic pondering her words. After a moment, she gains a soft smile and picks up a testicle and tosses it into her mouth.
"You're right Zoey, that makes it much more comforting. Thank you." she says, reaching out and taking a hold of her hand, Zoey smiling and returning the gesture. "Nice thinking Zoey!" Jasmine says, giving her a high five, Heather watching from the end of the table with a frown.
Back at the guys table, they continue to eat the dish, but one by one, they spit out their food, all of them with tears down their faces. "I, I just can't…" Dave says, putting down his fork in shame, the other guys nodding.
"Well, looks like the guys lost this round." Chris announces, an amused smile on his face. "The first challenge goes to the female campers!" he gestures, a female and male logo appearing at the top of the screen. The girls score ticks up to one, all of them cheering as they take the lead.
"Are you guys kidding me? What's the deal? We can't chicken out Dave, that's not how we win!" Tyler shouts, looking at the other guys with a glare. "Hey, at least I didn't tuck my plate under my chair!" Dave says, pointing at Mike, who frowns as he starts to argue back. "Seriously? You're mad at me now? I ate nearly all of them!"
Jasmine watches them with a shocked expression, until a whistle cuts through the guys' shouts. Chris holds his hand up, a whistle in his mouth. "Are we here to argue, or are we here to eat a series of revolting meals?!" the host shouts, Mike and Dave looking at each other with guilty expression. "You're right. Sorry about that Dave." Mike holds out his hand in apology, Dave accepting it. "It's ok, I got too upset."

"Seriously?! They stopped arguing that quickly?!" Jasmine shouts, bewildered. "Even I hold a grudge for a couple of hours or even longer." she sits back on the seat, huffing.

"The score now stands at one for the girls, and zero for the guys." Chris holds a finger up on one hand, the other hand making a zero. "And now, the next course in…The Brrunch, of Disgustingness!" he motions towards Chef, who wheels out the next dish. "You guys like pizza?" the host rubs his hands together. "I love pizza! I could eat it with anything on it!" Jo says confidently, Chris narrowing his eyes at the jockettes words. "Anything?" he grins darkly, turning to Chef as he lifts the lid. "How about live grasshopper pizza with tangy jellyfish sauce and live anchovies?" he finishes, the camera zooming in on the pizza, tons of grasshoppers and anchovies hopping about, the jellyfish simply sitting on top of the dish, the music turning intense as the camera fades to black.
(Fade to commercial)
The shot fades back into a view of the main lodge, the camera cutting to the pizza once more. "Ewww, that's disgusting!" Dave says, looking down at the plate Chef hands him. The rest of the campers look down at their slice, faces even more grossed out that before.
"I- I don't know if I can eat this guys…it's too much." Ella says, holding the slice away from her, tongue out in disgust. "You're gonna eat it! I'm not missing out on a full body massage because you can't scarf down a few anchovies." Heather growls, leaning in towatrs the princess menacingly. As she leans towards Ella, a grasshopper leaping into her hair.
She screams, dropping her slice back onto the table. "Okay..I cant do it.." she says between breaths. "I just had to eat a bull's kiwis, you're gonna eat!" Jo grabs her by the shirt, pulling her close. She hesitates, but slowly picks up her slice. "Can I get some parmesan on this?" she asks, Chef shaking his head as he sets down the final plate in front of Jasmine. Heather looks back at her pizza, then takes a deep breath before eating a small piece. She shudders in disgust, but manages to keep the bite down. "Delicious! Your turn Zoey!" Zoey sighs, but takes her pizza and bites into it, eyes closed as she swallows her piece.
/
The shot changes to the guys table, where Brick can be seen finishing his first slice. "It's not that bad men! We just need a little more courage, and we'll win this!" he cheers, the others watching with blank stares.
/
Back at the girls table, Ella struggles to bring the pizza to her mouth, but sighs and puts it down. "I just can't…it's too much!" the princess dramatizes, Zoey then grabbing her by the shoulders. "Ella, let's try a breathing method. It'll relax you." she says, holding the girls hands in her own. The girl nods in agreement, looking up hopefully at the Indie Chick.
"Okay, I want you to imagine that there's a candle with all of your fear, doubts, and hesitation in the flame. Now, I want you to imagine the only way for you to get rid of these emotions, is to blow out the candle, and you'll feel much better and more relaxed." she says, Ella holding out her hands as if holding a candle. She closes her eyes, and moves her hands in front of her. "Okay, now…blow out the candle!" Zoey says, Ella nodding as she blows out, and opens her eyes, a smile now on her face.
"Wow, I feel a lot calmer!" Ella says, Jasmine behind her as she quickly stuffs the pizza into her mouth, Ella swallowing it in surprise. She gulps it down, but doesn't flinch. "Jasmine, was that really necessary?" she looks back at the girl in question, who shrugs and laughs.
/
Dave sets his slice down, and stands up, slamming his hands on the table. "I have a pretty weak stomach you guys. If we're gonna win, you'll have to force feed me." he turns to Brick and Tyler. "Brick, I need you to hold me down, and you need to shove the food down my face Tyler. Got it? No matter what I say, don't listen to me and do it!"
The two boys look at each other, then shrug. "We'll help you soldier." the cadet says, immedeately grabbing the Normal Guy, restraining him. "Wait, I was kidding, don't actually listen to me! WAIT!" he screams, Tyler shoving the pizza into his mouth. He swallows the slice, pupils going wide with shock. He turns to Brick and laughs before passing out, the muscular teen setting him down onto the bench.

"Okay, that wasn't so bad." Dave says with shaking hands. "I've totally eaten worse than...beef testicles…and...grasshopper pizza-" his cheeks bulge and the camera cuts to one outside the outhouse, Dave's wrenching is heard as vomit leaks out from the small windows up a the top, and leaks out from the bottom of the wooden structure.

The rest of the guys finish their slices reluctantly, turning to see how the girls fared. Back at the girls table, Dawn once again refuses to eat her meal. "They are live creatures, nothing you can say will get me to eat this horrid food!" she announces, and Chris steps into view.
"The winners of this round...are the guys!" the host announces, the boys hollering with joy as their score ticks up to one, tying the girls at one all. Jo and Heather glare daggers into The Moonchild, who blankly stares back at them. "Your auras say it all." she grumbles.

"I was excited for the next dish." Chef says, scratching his back. "I made it from scratch." he grins.

"Alright!" Chris claps his hands together, "who's ready for the third course?" Chef lifts up the silver cover, revealing pink worms underneath with green slime on top. "Spaghetti!" chris happily says, the shot zooming out onto Mike and Geoffs horrified expressions. "Well, more like earthworms in snail slime sauce, and hairballs." the host finishes as Geoff's expression fills up the screen.
"No! I can't take it anymore!" the party boy shouts, running away with a crazed expression as he screams. Brick and Tyler watch, before the cadet gets up from the table. "I got this men!" he smiles before running towards the boy. Outside, the main lodges door is slammed open and Geoff runs out onto the porch, only to be quickly tackled into the dirt by Brick. He pins the party boy down, letting him come back to his senses. "Okay, I'm good. I'm good!" he says, taking deeps breaths as he calms down.
/
Back inside, the guys put blindfolds on as they prepare to eat their food. Geoff and Dave even put wooden plugs over their noses to mask the smell as they eat. "I like spaghetti. Spaghetti tastes good!" Geoff reassures himself in a nasally voice.
The girls gag on the earthworm delicacy, while the boys quickly finish their plates and hold them in the air. "Done!" Geoff shouts, burping up an earthworm. "And once again, it's the guys who win!" Chris says, their score dinging up to two points putting them in the lead, as the girls groan in annoyance.
"Come on you guys Let's show those boys some girl power!" Zoey proudly says, the camera focusing on her. " She's right you guys, we need to work as a team!" Jasmine pipes up, the camera switching to her. "Yeah, like I was saying, let's work…together!" Jo struggles to push out the last word, Jasmine and Dawn rolling their eyes knowingly.
"Alright! Everybody! Time for course number four!" Chris announces, the camera cutting to Chef who reveals their next dish. "No nine course meal would be complete without soup." he voices over as a filthy yellow broth filled with chunks of meat and fingernails pops up on screen. "Today's special is…French Bunion soup...with hangnail crackers." Chris finishes.

"I think they just used stuff from Chef's bathroom floor." Geoff plainly states to the confessional camera, a bored look on his face.

The girls look down at the soup in front of them, Zoey thinking hard about something. Suddenly, her faces lights up with an idea. As Zoey gets up to grab something, the camera follows her only to stop at the other table. All of the boys struggle to down the soup even with their noses plugged.
The camera pans back to Zoey who reveals her item that she went to grab. A yellow funnel is put into Dawns mouth while Zoey pours the liquid down into the funnel. "I didn't taste a thing Zoey! You are much too kind! That's why you have only a few friends." the mystic smiles, Zoey taken aback at her words.
"And the girls win again!" Chris beckons to their table, the girls cheering at their score dings up to tie the score at two a piece. "There's still five courses left. Bon appetite." he bows, and a guitar riff starts to play.
You've gotta eat! (eat!) (Chef chews on a piece of gum and sticks it onto a wad of other chewed pieces, and sets it in front of Jasmine)
Eat to win! Dont let them gross you out! (Chef wrings out a skunks tail, liquid odor falling into a shaker cup and shakes the small cup vigorously while wearing a mask and gloves)
Don't let them push you down! (Chef then pours the skunks green liquid into a glass with a straw, Mike taking a sip before shuddering at the awful taste, gasping as Chester comes out and shakes his fist at the dish in anger)
Stand up tall and say you can! (Chef takes heavy duty glue and draws a smiley face onto a green sandal, the camera cutting to Tyler as he closes his eyes as he tries to take a bite but falls out of his seat instead)
You've gotta eat! (eat!) Eat to win! (Chef chops up a rotten looking pepper as Brick rubs his hands in anticipation)
Oooooh you gotta eat! (eat!) (The massive cook pulls his ladle from a grimey looking bowl, the shot changing to show a fish head, a banana peel, and a soda can in the ladle)
Eat to wiiiiiin!
/
The montage ends and the camera pans past both tables, the teens looking exhausted from all the food they've had to eat. "Wow, it's still tied up! We're down to the last course in the challenge!" Chris says, Chef once again revealing their final dish. "Iiiiit's delicious dolphin wieners! Hot dogs, made of dolphin!" the host announces with a carefree smile, Zoey, Ella, and Dawn all gasping. "But dolphins are our friends!" Zoey puts her hands to her face, horrified as a dolphin chirp sounds in the background.
"What are you waiting for?!" Heather shakes a bottle of ketchup, glaring at the three. "If you guys don't eat it, we don't win!" she points accusingly at the three. "What's wrong with you guys? Just get over it and eat the stupid fish already!" Jo joins in.
"I can't! I've swam with dolphins! They saved my dad once!" Zoey stares horrified at the piece of meat in front of her, Dawn and Ella doing the same thing. "Eat it!" Heather and Jo shout. "No! We won't do it!" Zoey shouts back, the other two nodding in agreement, a tear falling from Dawn and Ellas eyes. "I'm with you three, I'm not eating a dolphin." Tyler says, setting down his food in defiance.

"I slave over a hot grill cookin' dolphin. No appreciation!" Chef throws his hands up in the air in frustration.

The camera cuts to all the campers who refuse to eat the dish; Dawn, Zoey, Ella, and Tyler, all of their arms crossed in defiance. Chris watches with a frown on his face. "Okay enough! We'll solve this by having an eat off!" he proclaims.

In front of Jo and Brick stand several shot glasses, the two giving each other a death glare. "Whoever can drink the most shot glasses of delicious blended cockroach will be declared the winner." Chris voices over, Chef hitting the blend button on a cockroach filled blender.
"This unlikely blend of eight different cockroaches is vitamin rich, perfect for your healthy lifestyle." Chris says in a commerical voice, making it seem like an ad of sorts. Chef pours the brown liquid into each cup, some bodyparts still intact. "On your mark, get set, go!" he shouts, the two rapidly reaching for their first glass. Both down their first shot glass, and gaing almost disturbed faces after tasting the concoction. Both robotically continue, taking shot after shot.

Both teams watch in anticipation as the two reach for some of the final shot glasses, drinking and setting the cup to the side. Brick shudders, and Jo takes his hesitation to grab two more shot glassses and down them, and reaching for the last one. With the frozen look of horror still on both of their faces, she downs the final cup, putting her hands up in victory before groaning and falling over, Brick doing the same thing.
"Jo wins!" Chris announces, pointing to the girl, their score reaching three and putting the girls on top for good. The girls hug and cheer in celebration while the guys look at Brick with saddened expressions. "It's alright Brick, you did a good job…" Mike tells the cadet, who managed to crawl back into his seat.
His stomach rumbles as his cheeks bulge. "Somethings about to blow.." he manages to say before puking all over the table several times. As his vomit spreads, the camera zooms in on a cockroach the floated out, Dawn quickly rushing to save it. " Don't worry little fellow. I knew you were still alive." she rubs the animal with her finger, and that sets everybody else off. Heather empties her guts first onto their table, Dave also puking onto Brick once more.
Chef stands by with a mop wrenching sounds heard in the background. His cheeks begin to bulge as well, Chris also struggling to keep his vomit down. He looks at the camera and making a cutting sign with his hand on his throat, but not before Tyler and Mike puke onto the camera, covering it in vomit as they finally change scenes.

A large, luxurious ship sits at the islands crummy dock, a sunset bathing the boat in an orange glow. "The girls are the big winners tonight, giving them a chance to work things out amongst themselves." Chris voices over as the girls make their way down to the ship.
The camera pans down from the setting sun, and onto the boys cabin. "The guys managed to bond pretty easily, while the girls have two alpha dogs fighting for control." Mike can be seen staring out his window in longing, Zoey doing the same, Jasmine setting a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Will Jasmine ever assert her dominance and make it a three way struggle for power? And what else awaits our campers in the big merge?" the boat drives away from the dock as Chris finishes up his closing words. "Find out next week on Total, Drama, Island." the sunset still sinks in the background, almost symbolic of the remaining time for this competition.

Well, another non-elimination chapter, so I think most of you can guess my thoughts on why, but I'll explain. Instead of having the other non elimination episode be when theres four campers, (the Castaway Episode) I simply had it earlier in the competition. I will still be bringing back two campers, so no need to worry there. But now there will just be an elimination in the Castaways episode instead of Mr. Coconut(sorry to all the Mr. Coconut fans out there). So, now onto the story. Zoey is trying to keep the peace between the girls, but Jo and Heather are attempting to make her choose one or the other(in their own special way), while Jasmine watches from the sideline, taking a supporting role rather than stir up more problems. Jasmine will have a much larger role in the latter half of the season, but I'm not promising how far she'll go despite her increased role.
Also, Ella is having s major breakdown, and Dawn and Zoey are the only one's who want to truly help her. I want Ella to go through some stuff to really develop her as a character, so stay tuned. If you found anything else interesting, let me know in a review! See you all Saturday(or Sunday XD)
