A/N:Welcome to the Amazon!
The recap begins with a shot of Chris floating down the mountain on his fan propelled parachute, past the campers, then it skipped a bit ahead to Lightning exclaiming, then the avalanche. "Germany, here our competitors encountered the glorious alps. As fun to go up as they are to go down." Xena is shown pushing meat into a giant grinder, followed by Lightning shoveling meat, then team Chris heading down the mountain on their sausage. "They also learned why Germany is world renown for the care they put into their sausages."
Jo is shown kicking Duncan in the kiwi's, then Alejandro is shown slapping Xena off, followed by Brick accidently hitting Jo in the neck and leaping off the platform to look after her. "From this day on however, Germany will only be known for one thing: Brick's unintended knock out!"
Jo is shown confronting Brick. "And Jo made sure to let the cadet know this changes nothing." The recap ends in the cockpit. "Or does it? We have fourteen left, but not for long! On Total! Drama! Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!"
Intro
A stage light pops up in front of the CN tower, we switch to the interior of the plane as another light pops out of the ceiling, outside the plane a camera pops out of the engine startling a raccoon, we see a suitcase pop open and a clap board is used. The camera moves through first class passing a drink cart on the way and causing Chris to jump out of the aisle.
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;
(Chef is in the cockpit, the cook gives the camera glare as it passes through. The camera moves past several bagages trucks.)
You guys are on my mind!
(The camera moves past the CN tower and dives into the water.)
Ya asked me what I wanted to be,
(Lightning is swimming in the water when he spots a shark and begins to fight with it.)
And now I think the answer is plain to see!
(Harold stands on top of the straw roof of a hut on a woven boat. An oar flies threw the air to hit him.)
I wanna be...famous!
(Amber and Topher are fighting on the boat, and it is clear one of them accidently hit Harold in the tussle. Crocodiles leap from the water snapping their jaws. The boat moves off screen and we see a crocodile wince on the word be. The camera moves back to the boat revealing it had run into an inflatable raft where Alejandro is standing. Amber panics and tries to help while Topher just laughs.
I wanna live close to the sun!
(The camera moves to the statue of liberty, we cut to the top where Brick is offering Jo a helping hand, only for her to grab it and body slam him instead.)
Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!
(Tyler runs past the two, pushing a baby carriage holding Noah. Max is nearby and the jock trips over her, sending Noah flying out of the carriage and into a sign.)
Everythin' to prove,
(Noah lands in Eva's arms as she stands on a tundra. He gives her a grateful smile.)
Nothin' in my way;
I'll get there one day.
(We pan right where Amy rolls her eyes. A polar bear taps on her shoulder and she looks horrified, but then Dawn and Ella calm the bear and Amy smiles.)
'Cause I wanna be...famous!
(We zoom in past ice caps to see Duncan and Gwen surfing a giant wave. It seems to be too much as they are swept up in the surf.)
Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa
(Xena and Anne Maria are walking across a New York City crosswalk. They are startled as the jet passes them, sending leaves through the air. We switch to a scene of the contestants in a human pyramid atop the jet, wearing parachutes and kicking in beat. The bottom row contains Jo, Anne Maria, Harold, Max, Xena, and Brick. The first row up contains Topher, Amber Alejandro, Eva, and Noah, the next row up contains Duncan, Gwen, Amy, and Tyler, on top of the pyramid is Lightning holding Ella and Dawn on one of his shoulders each.)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(The plane passes big ben,causing the clock face to pop out. It passes the arc de Triomphe causing a mime to drop his croissant. It flies past a rock balancing on.a stone pillar, knocking it off and causing it to fall in front of the camera kicking up dust)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(The dust clears to show, Ella and Dawn smiling at one another, It pans to show Eva glaring, then down to Jo.)
(The lyrics end and we see Chef Hatchet glare. He turns the plane, sending all the contestants falling through the air in parachutes. Everyone but Max lands in front of a sign with the show's name on it. As the song ends Max lands face first in the middle of the group)
Intro end
The episode proper begins in economy class, Team Chris sits on the left bench, while Team Conquest sits on the right. Gwen sighed. "Economy class again."
"I know it really sucks." Tyler agreed.
"We would not be in economy class if Brick had not thrown the challenge." Xena noted.
Brick leveled a look at her. "Xena I hit a pressure point. That's not fair, and my honor isn't worth winning."
A loud scoff could be heard from across the plane. " Sha please, there weren't any rules to say you couldn't. If someone on Lightning's team threw the game they'd get a beat down!" The football Jock said.
"Never thought I'd agree with this lunkhead but yeah, you'd be dead." Eva said.
"Honor's overrated anyway." Duncan said.
"Well I for one think he made the right choice, considering his stance on honor." AleJandro said.
Next to him Noah scoffed, not bothering to look up from his book. "Funny considering you don't have any."
[Confessional)
AleJandro: As far as I'm concerned, the more focused Brick is on honor the better. This game doesn't mix with honor.
Static
"I stand by my decision." The cadet said.
"Me too! I mean sure it sucks that we're in economy class, but I think playing fair in the most important thing." Tyler said.
"Sure, that's a great idea. If you like losing." Duncan smirked.
"He has a point, we have lost the most." Gwen admitted. "Maybe we need to think about our strategy."
"I think we're doing fine. If we all work together we can totally do this!" Tyler cheered.
"Besides, our team is more unified than yours. In the end your infighting will undo you." Brick said.
Duncan scoffed. "Okay, I can see why Jo doesn't take you seriously."
/
In first class Team Valkyrie is enjoying themselves. Topher is once again getting a massage, Anne Maria is primping next to him. Amber is sitting on a couch and reading a book, while Amy is eating some ice cream.
Jo is looking out the window absentmindedly. "You're thinking about Brick's sacrifice aren't you?" A soft voice said. The jockette jolted back, startled.
She scoffed. "Please, like I care what that loser did. If he wants to throw challenges, that's his own business."
Dawn shook her head. "It's all over your aura. You don't understand why he would do it, and it's eating away at you."
"Will you stop it with the aura thing?! It's stupid and clearly inaccurate if you're reading that in mine!" Jo snapped.
"She's just trying to help you Jo. Not that you deserve it." Amber glared.
"I say the only person who can know what you're feeling is you, yourself." Topher said.
"Besides, Dawn's track record has been terrible lately." Amy said.
"She messed up one time! Seriously, let it go!" Amber snapped.
"Yeah well it was one heck of a mess up." The cheerleader said.
The bookworm looked like she was about to say something when the intercom went off.
"Brace for landing we've arrived at our next destination: The Amazon, but the runway's a little short."
Once again the plane began to bump. Anne Maria's head hit into the ceiling. "Hey knock it off! This hair doesn't style itself ya know!"
/
The plane crashed down in the Amazon. Later we see Chris talking to the campers as they stand in a tropical rainforest. "Welcome to Peru, birthplace of the mighty Amazon river. This challenge is called the Am-AH-zon race." He chuckled, seeming proud of the name.
"Team must hike along an ancient Inca trail, through the Peruvian Jungle, all the way to Machu Picchu." As The host explained this, shots of the forest are shown, with a shot of Machu Picchu at the end. "Hidden somewhere among the ruins of Machu PIcchu a golden treasure awaits discovery."
The shots fade back to Chris. "Find the treasure to win first class passage to our next destination." Each of the teams are shown as Chris finishes. "Last Team to Machu Picchu, will have to send someone out the elimination door, and be warned the jungle contains many vicious insects. Luckily none of you are allergic, which saves me the effort of getting an Epipen."
He continued on. "Also in the jungle are the Zing Zings." He held up a picture of two people in tribal masks. "A native tribe who have never encountered modern man, and they're not about to. So if you spot a Zing Zing do not make contact. They-'' Chris is interrupted by the pounding of a drum. "Will you stop that?!" He told Chef who was revealed to be the one playing said drum. He crossed his arms.
"Exactly how far are we traveling?" Xena asked.
"Machu Picchu is a hop skip and a jump from here...plus eighteen hours." Everyone groaned except Lightning and Eva. "The jungle is too dangerous to travel at night, so teams will have to break at dusk and camp along the trail til sunrise."
"And I assume there are no tents?" Alejandro asked.
"Correctamundo, Now because the playing area is so vast and dangerous each will have a walkie talkie in case of emergency.' Chris tosses walkie talkies to Jo, Brick, and Alejandro.
Chris smiled. "Teams I wish you good luck or at least a lack of death."
/
We see team Chris and Team Conquest at a crossroads. "Alright team. Left or right?" Brick asked.
"I say we go left!. No wait, right. Left, right?" Tyler frowned.
"In my opinion we ought to go left, the trail seems to be a bit wider on that side. " Xena said.
"Well, I don't see any reason not to." Gwen admitted.
Team Chris went left.
"Well Lightning thinks we should follow them." The football jock said.
"Wow, the numskull does have a brain." Noah remarked.
"Sha dang girl! You act like Lightning's never had a good idea." Lightning said. Noah's eye twitched in response.
"Yeah, if there's danger ahead, they'll deal with it for us." Duncan smirked.
"Let's go already!" Eva ordered.
Team Conquest went left as well.
/
Team Valkyrie stands before the crossroads. "Two trails…" Amber frowned. "Dawn, what do you think?"
The moonchild opened her mouth but was interrupted by Jo. "Uh, is Dawn the leader? No, I am. I say we go right." The jockette didn't even wait to see what her team thought, already heading in that direction.
"Eh, if things go wrong we can blame her." Anne Maria said.
Amber and Dawn both sighed, but in the end all of the Valkyrie's went right.
/
Chris is standing on a platform over a large body of water. Team Chris arrives behind him. "Welcome team Chris. You're in the lead so you get to cross this water hazard using these T-bars. Everyone else will have to take the line hand over hand."
"Awesome!" Tyler cheered.
"There are only two T-bars. So we will have to pair off." Xena said.
"Girls on one bar, boys on the other?" Brick suggested.
"Sounds good." Gwen agreed, grabbing the first bar and allowing Xena to climb on her back. They both went off.
"I'm stronger so you can hold on to my back." Brick told Tyler.
The jock blushed. "Uh sure." He muttered as he awkwardly did as requested, his face only more red now. They too rode the line down.
/
We see Team Valkyrie walking through the forest. Anne Maria is complaining to Topher. "Ugh, this humidity does terrible things to my hair!"
"I hear you girl. My hair gets all flaccid and lifeless in the heat." The blonde agreed.
"It wouldn't if you didn't use so much hair gel." Amber noted.
"I don't use hair gel!" Topher snapped.
Anne Maria shakes a can of hairspray and begins to work on her poof, a gigantic mosquito nearby dies on the spot. Dawn winces.
/
Back with Chris and the zipline Team Conquest stares at the missing T-bar. "Hey Chris man! Where's the whatsit?" Lightning asked.
"The what?" Chris asked.
"You know the thing that you use to get across the line?" The football jock asked.
"We need no T-bar! We are team Conquest!" Alejandro declared, removing his belt and using it to ride the line down.
"Yeah, we got this!" Lightning cheered, running forward and trying to go across on his bare hands. Unsurprisingly, he ended up letting go of it on the way down. He fell in the water and a bunch of piranhas attacked. The football jock jumped out of the water and ran for the nearby shore.
Noah laughed, "Nice moves!"
/
Team Valkyrie is walking through the forest when they see two Zing zings by a fire. Amy gasps and turns towards her teammates. "It's the Zing Zings, we gotta get out of here!" She paused as she saw her teammates stare over her shoulder. She turned and screamed as he saw a Zing Zing right behind her. His friend joined him and they pointed their spears at the group.
"Strange, I don't sense any hostility in their auras." Dawn noted.
"The spears say otherwise." Amber gulped.
Jo hit the button on the walkie talkie. "Chris, we're in danger!" Nothing happened. "It's dead! D*mn it!" Before she could run, the Zing Zings grabbed her.
/
On the plane Chef is sitting in the hot tub, a pile of batteries next to him as he plays on a handheld console of some kind.
/
Back at the zipline Duncan has gotten his own belt out and uses it to ride the line down easily. Eva sighed and turned to Noah. "There's no way you have the stamina or strength to climb down this hand over hand."
"And here I thought I was ready to win the triathlon." Noah remarked.
"Shut up and get on." The iron woman said.
Noah climbed on to her back and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Eva began to easily climb the line hand over hand, at quick rate. Soon enough they had joined the rest of their team on the opposite shore.
Lightning frowns at Noah. "Girl, you gonna make fun of the Lightning falling in when you couldn't even do it yourself?" Once again Noah's eye twitched.
/
Back with Team Valkyrie they are all tied to a tree now. Amy is right next to Amber with Jo to the bookworm's right. Dawn is on the far left, with both Anne Maria and Topher on the far right. The Zing Zings sit in front of a fire guarding them.
"Okay, does anyone have double A batteries?" Jo asked.
"Why the heck would we have batteries in the jungle?!" Amy asked.
"I have a flashlight in my left pocket, we could use those." Amber admitted. Amy gave her a look. "Oh sure, Anne Maria can carry hair spray into the jungle but I'm weird for having a reading flashlight."
Amy sighed and reached into the bookworm's pockets. "Bobby pins, hair elastics, paper clips, hand sanitizer?"
"Who knows what these challenges will cover my hands in." Amber pointed out.
"I don't see a flashlight anywhere." Amy said.
"I know I had one." The bookworm frowned. "Maybe you're not looking hard enough."
"Not looking hard enough? I don't want to be stranded in the jungle any more than you do!" The cheerleader snapped.
"Well it would be a way to get rid of Dawn." The bookworm glared.
"Shut up both of you! It's in the other pocket!" Jo snapped, pulling the flashlight out.
"Hah. Told you it wasn't there." Amy said smugly.
/
We see a tropical bird. Below we see Team Conquest arriving in a clearing. "Dusk. We need to make camp here." Alejandro said
"Lightning doesn't see why we can't travel through the night!" The football jock said.
"Because we don't have night vision." Noah said, Duncan raised a finger. "Most of us don't have night vision."
"So what? Lightning can handle anything that attacks us, you need more faith, girl!" Lightning said. Noah's eye twitched yet again.
"It's too dangerous to risk." Alejandro said. "Eva, Lightning, you two gather firewood. Duncan, you got your lighter?"
"Never leave without it." The punk smirked, pulling out said lighter.
"Bueno. Noah and I will begin making the base." The Spaniard smirked.
/
We finally return to Team Chris who have run ahead. They slide to a stop as we see Chris has shown up in front of them. "Dude, I'm starving. You got food?" Tyler asked.
"Sustenance would be greatly appreciated. " Xena nodded.
"Team Chris! You're still in first and this is your reward." Chris announced he cut a rope tied to a tree behind him and a box of bananas fell to the ground. "All the bananas you can eat!"
"Wow. You're not making us starve." Gwen smirked.
The walkie talkie went off. Chris took it out of his pocket. "McLame! We've been captured by the Zing Zings! Get your butt in gear!" Jo's voice can be heard from the speaker.
"Wow they sound like they're in trouble. I should pick this up." Chris asked nonchalantly.
"I know you're there McLame!" The jockette yelled over the speaker.
Chris smirked at the camera. "After the break."
/
The episode continues by showing Chris holding his walkie talkie as Jo's voice came from it. "I know you're there McLame!"
The host finally decided to answer. "Walkie talkies are for emergencies only."
The screen split to show Jo on the walkie talkie, Amber and Amy are also in frame. "We've been tied up by a bunch of spear wielding crazies! What could be a bigger emergency!"
A third split happened on this showing Noah and Alejandro. "I don't know Jo, you're always talking about how you're the strongest, smartest, best competitor. Are you certain you cannot handle it?" The Spaniard said.
"As much as I appreciate the jab, we really do need the help mi Amarilis." Amber replied nervously.
"Chris, you better do something to help her." Alejandro warned.
"E-mer-gan-cy." Chris repeated. Not seeming concerned.
"We've been captured by the Zing Zings! Help us! Now!" Amy ordered.
Tyler entered Chris' section. "Hey guys, we're in first!" Noah rolled his eyes.
"Okay Team Valkyrie. Remain calm and-" a familiar note was heard.
"You want us to sing?! Now?!" Amy snapped.
"Are we supposed to sing?" Tyler asked.
"Did you have to remind him?" Noah complained.
"Nope this one is all Valkyrie but let's make it end with a solo from Amy." Chris smirked.
"Ooh, lucky you!" Noah said with fake enthusiasm.
(Song eleven- Gypsy rap)
Two Zing Zings begin playing guitars in front of the group. Amber begins.
Amber: If we had just gone left. We wouldn't be in this mess!
Dawn: I thought so too but you know, we had to go with Jo.
Amy: Like we'd listen to you!
Jo: please, like you knew what to do!
Topher: We've never sunk this low!
Anne Maria: Tied up, rope is no joke!
Spears in our face, get me outta this place!
Jo's decision caused this situation
This'd better end in her elimination, it's, her fault!
Amy: Her fault! Ooh, ooh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Dawn frowns as she looks at the Zing Zings, "Please friends I sense no hostility from you. Will you not let us go?"
The Zing Zings shook their heads.
"Please Dawn, I don't think the spear wielding warriors are open to negotiation." Amy scoffed.
/
We return to focus on team Chris. Most are sleeping but Brick is wide awake and shaking. A hand is placed on the cadet's shoulder causing him to jump. The focus moved out to show it was Tyler. "Dude, it's just me."
"Right. Right. I knew that." The cadet swallowed.
"You okay?" The jock asked.
"Yeah. You know I'm fine, I'm definitely fine. A leader has to stay strong." Brick smiled.
Tyler sighed. "You know it's okay if you're scared." Brick didn't say anything. Tyler smiled and grabbed the cadets hand. "It's okay. I'm with you."
Brick gave the jock a sheepish grin.
/
The focus is on Team Conquest. It's dark and they've built a fire. Duncan and Lightning are closest to it. A growl can be heard. "Did Eva stub her toe or something?" The punk asked.
"Maybe it's the fire." Lightning suggested.
"Fires rarely growl." Noah deadpanned.
"I suppose we ought to investigate." Alejandro sighed. He blew on the fire and we can see the group is surrounded by caterpillars several feet tall. They scream as the fire is put out.
/
With team Valkyrie Topher has fallen asleep. Amy glared at him. "How can he sleep at a time like this!"
"How can he not? You know what happens when you miss out on a night's sleep? You get bags, dude's got his priorities straight." Anne Maria said, closing her own eyes.
Jo huffed. "Why'd I get stuck with the worst team?"
Dawn is still looking at the Zing Zings. "I'm not sure why they've captured us when they aren't scared of us, or have any intent to harm us."
"I don't think it matters." Amber sighed.
/
The focus is back on Team Conquest. The sun is rising, and they are all holding sticks to ward off the caterpillars from last night. Notably Lightning is missing. Alejandro wakes. "It's sunrise. We need to get going."
"Where's the idiot?" Eva asked.
"Probably got himself lost. We don't have time to look for him." Duncan sniffed.
With that everyone headed off.
/
We cut to team Chris who have made it to the top of the mountain. Chris grinned at the exhausted team. "Team Chris! Somehow you guys are still in first place. Find the treasure before anyone else and you'll leave in first class."
"Alright!" Tyler cheered.
"We should spread out to search." Xena said.
"Excellent Idea soldier." Brick told her. "We'll split up to cover more ground. Tyler and I will go left, Xena and Gwen you go right. Move, move, move!'' Everyone scattered.
Sometime later Team Conquest arrives. They reach the top of the mountain but Chris blocks them off. "You can't start searching until the whole team is here." He told them.
"Oh, we're pretty sure Lightning's dead. Darn shame." Duncan smirked.
"You never said that?! You're making up the rules as you go along!" Alejandro snapped.
"And this surprises you how?" Noah deadpanned.
The Spaniard sighed. "Allow me to search for our wayward teammate."
/
With Team Valkyrie we see that the Zing Zings are watching Jo closely. The jockette has her arms folded and is glaring. "I told you trying to escape was a bad idea." Dawn said.
"You also said they mean no harm. Which is it?" Amy asked, irately.
"It's both. For whatever reason they mean us no harm, but they are determined to keep us here." Dawn admitted.
"So what?! I'm supposed to sit here and look pretty?! I don't see you coming up with any ideas!" Jo snapped at her.
"Anger isn't going to help." Amber pointed out.
/
Alejandro is looking through the jungle. "Lightning?! Where are you, you incompetent buffoon?!" A muffed noise can be heard nearby. The Spaniard turned and smirked as the focus moved out to show a gigantic cocoon. He easily rips it open to reveal Lightning.
"It's about time someone came to get me! I mean really, how could you have let those monsters take your star player?!" The football jock asked.
"I don't know what you mean." Alejandro said.
"Yes you do! You watched them drag me away! And you weren't the only one. Noa had her eyes wide open and she didn't make a move!" Lightning said.
"Amigo, you were sleep deprived. I'm sure you were just seeing things. Now come, we need to get back to Machu Picchu." The Spainard ordered.
"You don't gotta tell Lightning twice, you'll never win without me!" The football jock said, running ahead. Alejandro rolled his eyes.
/
Back at Machu Picchu we see the three members of team Conquest sitting on a nearby log. "Tick Tock, Tick tock." Chris said as he looked at his watch. Moments later Alejandro and Lightning arrived.
"Vamos we must look for the golden treasure." Alejandro said.
Before any of them could start though, Gwen ran back holding a golden idol. "Sorry boys, looks like you missed out." The goth smirked.
"That's my pasty." Duncan chuckled.
"Team Chris wins!" The host announced. Team Conquest groaned. "Now let's get back to the plane."
"What about team Valkyrie?" Alejandro asked in concern.
"Chef will take care of that." Chris said, brushing her worries off.
/
Back with Team Valkyrie the six are still tied to the tree when Chef arrives holding a cleaver. "Chef!" They all called out in relief.
"It's about time! We've been held captive by these Zing Zings all night!" Amy yelled.
"Those aren't Zing Zings. They look like local Peruvian teenagers." Chef told them. He cut the rope binding them.
"But the outfits!" Anne Maria gasped.
"The spears!" Amber added.
One of the teenagers removed his mask and held out what looked like a flyer. "You're actors in this year's Shakespeare in the jungle Macbeth!" Jo snapped.
"We play the boarders." The teen explained.
"I've been held captive by a bunch of theater nerds?!" The jockette snarled.
"Well that explains why I saw no hostility in their auras." Dawn said.
"Really?! That's your reaction?! We just found out we've been tricked and the only thing you care about is your stupid aura reading?!" Amy vented.
"Well I can't wait to finally vote you off!" Amber snapped.
As the rest of her team follows Chef, the focus is on Amy as her eyes narrow. "Oh, that's what you think."
/
Team Chris is shown in first class. Tyler is sitting on the couch when Brick joins him. "Hey soldier? I wanted to thank you, you know. For last night."
"No problem dude, but uh, why were you so freaked out?" Tyler asked.
"You promise not to laugh?" The cadet said. Tyler nodded. "...I'm afraid of the dark." He winces, like he expects Tyler to laugh in spite of his promise. The jock doesn't. "You're not gonna mock me?"
"Dude, I'm scared of chickens. I have no room to talk." Tyler smirked.
Brick smiled. "Thanks."
/
In the main area Topher and Anne Maria are sitting at one of the tables. Amy sits on the other side. "So I was wondering,"
"If we'd vote with you?" Topher interrupted. "Absolutely, you're the biggest drama on the team right now. Anne Maria?"
"So long as it ain't me we're voting for." The jersey reject said. "It ain't right?"
"No, of course not. We're" Amy leaned forward and began to whisper to the other two.
/
Team Valkyrie is sitting in elimination when Brick enters the room to stand next to Jo. "Are you here to rub your victory in my face?" The jockette asked, saltily.
"No. I just came to talk to you. In case you end up leaving." Brick said. "I hope we can come to terms with each other at some point."
Jo got in his face. "I don't get you. Like why would you ever check to make sure I'm okay after knocking me out? What kind of mind games are you even playing?"
Brick sighed. "I don't know what I can say to convince you, but I have no other motive than honor." With that the cadet gave her a salute. "I wish you luck." He turned and left.
Chris is beginning his speech. "Alright Valkyrie! Are you ready to see who you chose to eliminate?" The contestants glared at him. Chef wheeled in a TV set up and handed Chris the remote. "Let's take a look at who you all voted for. Just for fun." Chris chuckled. He turned the TV on and confessionals began to play.
[Confessional]
Jo stamps a passport. "Tweedle Dee has been complaining way too much lately. Its annoying. "
Static
Amber stamps a passport. "Amy is holding such a stupid vendetta over Dawn. Not to mention just being a terrible person. "
Static
Amy stamps a passport. "Amber thinks she's getting me out? Please, I'm not leaving until I've made team Conquest pay for eliminating Ella. "
Static
Dawn stamps a passport. "I could vote for Amy. No one would blame me after how she's treated me, but how can I expect her to understand kindness if I don't show some to her? So instead, I'm voting for Topher. He's not a good influence on anyone. "
Static
Topher stamps a passport. "Ah Amber, you've truly been an excellent rival to myself, but I'm afraid our little tête au tête is becoming rather predictable. So it must come to an end."
Static
Anne Maria is filing her nails. "Well Topher wants me ta vote out Amber, and I don't see why not. Even if I'm a little annoyed with him. I mean, he's always going on about how he's a great actor and will be an amazing host, but how am I supposed ta believe that when he couldn't even recognize that the Zing Zings are actors?" She stamps a passport. "I mean I like the guy but he talks himself up too much."
Static
/
The confessionals ended. "There all done." Chris smirked.
Amy's mouth is open in shock as she looks at Dawn. Meanwhile Topher is also looking shocked, then his face crumbles. "You don't think I'm a good actor?"
"Look, I didn't mean anything by it." Anne Maria huffed.
"How could you say that?!" Topher glared, running from the room.
Amber sighed. "Well, guess I'm going."
"Not without a goodbye kiss." An accented voice said. Everyone turned to see Alejandro enter the room.
"You came to see me off." Amber smiled.
The Spaniard approached her. "Of course. I couldn't bear to have you leave alone." He held her. "and don't worry I will make them pay for this."
The bookworm leaned in to kiss him, but Chris came between them. "Amber, you have a date with the drop of shame."
Amber huffed and turned. "I'll see you." Alejandro blew her a kiss and she caught it before leaping off the plane.
(Confessional)
Amy: Dawn, didn't vote for me? Why? I don't, hmm.
Static
Chirs and Chef are shown in the cockpit. "Oooh, Amy's confused." The host chuckled. "Can team Valkyrie ever get it together? Tune in next time, On Total! Drama! Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!
A/N: I love Amber, and I flatter myself to think you do too, but she needs to leave here. Amy and Dawn's plotline is taking a turn here and Amber's filled her role. Speaking of the confessionals, I was trying to figure out how to cause a drama with them. The idea of Anne Maria and Topher's friendship ending up on the rocks made sense to me as like Sierra does in canon Topher would naturally feel betrayed. Although unlike Sierra it's actually justified. The hardest part of the writing was figuring out how Team Valkyire could be held captive when Dawn would easily be able to see the Zing Zings weren't dangerous. That said I decided her team could just not listen to her. Plus, its the actors job to keep them there whether they're dangerous or not. And of course the whole plotline of the Zing Zings viewing one of them as a god was entirely ditched. We've also got more Tyler and Brick interaction, but other than that Team Chris doesn't have much going on, a lot like team Victory in canon. That said Brick had his interaction with Jo, and them winning because they work well together is a great contrast to Team Conquest. Speaking of Team Conquest, they brush off Brick's claim that their infighting will undo them, only to fall because they couldn't be bothered to go find Lightning. Unlike canon everyone knows Lightning is gone, they just don't care that much. The reason it was Lightning that got captured is simple. Animal curse remember? Plus it links into their other conflict. In case you didn't notice Noah's getting really annoyed by Lightning especially with one thing in particular. To the point of letting giant caterpillars take him. This is going to be a huge plot point next challenge.
