Episode 18!
Lacueva- Dual teams were fun to write, especially the discussions from Red and Yellow on who they want to target followed by the tribal.
Myfacewhen- So jealous the review sent twice
Jaron58- I decided to give Raj and Emma time together as Bowie has had multiple one on one scenes with each
andrew1- Doesn't Jen give off that 6 feet taller or don't contact vibe though lol. We'll see if your Red/Cyan theories come true
CMC- I hope to keep the drama rolling
Omega Leonidas- We'll see how she does
Vladitor- You'll see (it's the worst challenge so far lol)
Metal Face- Maybe!
Mortal01- Lol my message was like months ago. Lowkey the narration has been getting sassier as of late. Millie was the other whale. THAT SADIE, RIPPER, AND MARY SHADE HELP. Chet and Staci working together was the highlight of your year I assume
Johnathan1209- Taylor voting out her mom was the brutality that Jeff hypes Ciera voting out her mom to be on Survivor. Anything can appear on the manmade island. I love how everyone is annoyed at Tom and Jen for how they treat Tyler. If the eliminations are becoming this brutal in the first half of the game, imagine how personal things will be by the end lol

Which two players will go home tonight? Find out on this new, exciting episode of Total… Drama… Ultimate!
Intro
Day 33
"What was that, Harold?!" Bridgette questions angrily. "You blew up everything AND got Geoff kicked off!"
"I didn't mean for all that to happen!" Harold replies. "Do you think I WANTED Geoff out?"
"Clearly not, you tried to throw me under the bus to everyone!" Courtney yells.
"We were supposed to be a united team, Harold. We had the numbers to send anyone that we wanted out because we were the biggest, you had to let your petty grudge ruin everything." Brick scolds. "Now Geoff is out for no reason!"
"What reason did Devin have to leave again?" Harold claps back, causing Brick to grimace. "Oh right, none. God forbid I do anything wrong though, I clearly didn't want Geoff to go home!"
"Guys, can't we just calm down?" Leshawna asks.
"No! Let the fighting continue, evil loves drama!" Max cackles.
"Evil may love drama, but Shawnie wants us to be unified." Leshawna replies.
"Who is Shawnie?" Max questions.
Leshawna ignores him. "But for real guys, I'm not happy either, but let's try to move on from this-"
"You're just saying that because you're biased towards Harold, I don't want to move past this! Stay out of this argument!" Courtney yells.
"Don't get an attitude with me girl, I'll slap your head off. I was just trying to be a peacemaker, don't be disrespectful like that again." Leshawna snaps, annoyed at Courtney's aggressive response.
Scott looks on, baffled at the fighting.
Confessional: Scott
"You know it's bad when I'm one of the non argumentative members of a team…"
Conf end
Confessional: Leshawna
"I shouldn't have snapped there, but Courtney has a way of getting on your nerves. I didn't do anything wrong by just trying to calm things down."
Conf end
Confessional: Harold
"Brick is still being so hypocritical. He lied to my face twice and that's okay, but I try to target someone who's clearly not on my side and the world is burning! I'm so screwed at this point…"
Conf end
Confessional: Bridgette
Bridgette is wearing Geoff's hat in the confessional. "I got angry… but I think I have a right to be. The team just handed Yellow an opportunity to take out anyone they wanted."
Conf end
Harold and Leshawna have walked off at this point. "Can't you believe Harold? He single handedly ruined things for our team-" Courtney tries to say to Brick.
"Not single handedly."
"Oh, don't tell me that you're blaming me for this!" Courtney raises an eyebrow.
"Harold started it, but if you stuck with the plan, Bowie would be gone. It would've been a 7-7-1 tie, and Harold wouldn't have gotten rid of Geoff in the revote!" Brick explains.
"Oh…"
"That isn't even her fault." Max rolls his eyes. "She was just defending herself!"
"Exactly!" Courtney stops feeling bad after that reassurance.
"But if she just stopped to think of the-"
"Enough talking Mr. Bedwetter!" Max interrupts. "Let's blame the stupid ginger and call it a day!"
Scott coughs.
"Let's blame the stupid ginger who isn't stupid just for being a ginger and call it a day!" Max corrects himself.
Brick just sighs in response, not having enough in him to argue.
Confessional: Max
"What Harold tried to pull was too evil, even for me."
Conf end
Confessional: Brick
"Mr. Bedwetter? Really?" Brick groans. "I'm really stressed after everything that's happened."
Conf end
Confessional: Courtney
"I can't believe Brick tried to say I was in the wrong whatsoever. I don't even like Max, but even he's smart enough to realize I was in the right."
Conf end
Cut to Cyan Team
We see the three remaining Queen's Quest members together. "So…" Jen rubs her arm awkwardly. "How about that vote last night?"
"Why did you not tell us about your alliance?" Anne Maria asks.
"Wow… blunt, aren't we?"
"Yes. Now answer the question."
"Tom and I would encounter Lindsay during the challenges, we began talking a lot. It was mostly so we could bond with the top supermodel in the world, like who wouldn't want to meet your heroes?" Jen questions. "I was always more loyal to Queen's Quest anyways, I hope you don't think otherwise."
Anne Maria and Taylor look at each other.
"Meh, I can forgive that I guess... If I met one of my heroes, I would want to form an alliance with her." Anne Maria shrugs.
"You and Snooki would be iconic!" Taylor smiles. Anne Maria gives her a confused look.
"So, like… we're good?" Jen asks.
"Of course!" Taylor nods.
Confessional: Taylor
"I was confused, but that alliance wasn't a big deal. If anything, it could help us later… if Lindsay and Tyler are able to survive. Sadly though, I doubt their ability at the moment."
Conf end
Confessional: Anne Maria
"Did that bitch just say SNOOKI is my hero?"
Conf end
Confessional: Jen
"Good thing they have no hard feelings… but I'll miss Tom. We were kinda eating up before that stupid twist came into play."
Conf end
Elsewhere, we see Justin, Staci, and Trent high fiving each other. "We did it!" Trent cheers.
"Tom got his karma!" Staci laughs.
"Voting him out was smart." Justin adds.
Confessional: Justin
"If we didn't vote for Tom, then we lost again, one of us would be screwed. We made the right play."
Conf end
Confessional: Staci
"That was instant karma for getting rid of one of their own alliance members!"
Conf end
Confessional: Trent
"Our alliance now has a chance to force a tie, that's what is important. I am a bit worried that the team will argue even more than before though…"
Conf end
Cut to Pink Team
"It's not badminton, it's goodminton! Heck, it's GREATminton!"
The majority of the Pink Team have fallen asleep. Chris' badminton movie is not exactly top tier entertainment. Only Jasmine and Mary are still awake. "I think I would've rather lost than have to watch this." Jasmine comments. "Only good thing here was the popcorn and soda."
"Sports movies don't fascinate me the way science movies do, I much prefer one of those." Mary states.
"At this point, I'd take a science movie too." Jasmine yawns.
"I have to use the bathroom, I'll be right back." Mary abruptly says before walking out of the theater room. She notices an employee of the establishment and walks over to them. "Greetings."
"Hi?" the worker asks, confused as to why some random lady is talking to her.
"May I request some paper and a pen?" Mary questions.
"I can get you some." the worker replies. "Do you need to write something?"
"No, I need paper and a pen just to look at it." Mary sarcastically thinks. She's polite enough not to say it out loud. "Indeed, I do, thanks for your help."
Confessional: Mary
"I may not need it for anything right now, but you never know. It could come in handy in the future."
Conf end
Cut to Purple Team
We see Lindsay and Tyler together on the ground. Once they arrived back to camp, Lindsay went right back to hugging Tyler. "Lindsay, I need to go to the bathroom." Tyler says. In response, Lindsay rests her head on his chest, causing Tyler to laugh. "Or… I could wait."
Cody is walking by as this happens. Lindsay calls out to him. "Cody!"
Cody turns around. "Hi." he waves.
"Why did you tell the others about the thing with fashionistas?" Lindsay questions.
"What? What makes you think it was me?" Cody nervously sweats.
"Who else would it have been?"
…
"Well shit, you got me there. Uh… because you were working with people from the other team? That seems like good enough reasoning to me, I wasn't a part of the alliance." Cody awkwardly replies.
"I guess…" Lindsay replies with a stare that Cody can't decipher if it's angry or not.
Confessional: Cody
"Lindsay never seemed like the vengeful type, but I don't know. I just hope she's not angry."
Conf end
Confessional: Lindsay and Tyler
Tyler is still being hugged by Lindsay. "I'm not mad at Cory- Cody, but I can't trust him too much. He asked to join us then instantly ratted us out!" Lindsay says.
Tyler doesn't comment. He never cared for that alliance and isn't sad about what happened.
Conf end
"I'll just go-"
The team's shelter collapsed.
"Oh barbecue sauce!" Cody says angrily.
"What happened?!" Sanders yells as she, MacArthur, and Chet run over.
"The shelter fell over!" Cody states while pointing to the structure.
"Great, what do we do now?!" MacArthur angrily throws her hands in the air.
"CAMPERS, ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE?"
"Huh?" Chet looks around.
"IT'S ME, CHRIS! I LOVE THIS LOUDSPEAKER! BEFORE I EXPLAIN THE CHALLENGE, GEOFF AND TOM WERE VOTED OUT AT THE LAST ELIMINATIONS."
"WHAT?" MacArthur yells in shock.
"We were literally there MacArthur…" Sanders mutters.
"Stop yelling, Chris!" Tyler demands. Chris ignores that.
"YOU MAY BE THINKING: 'isn't the challenge supposed to be tomorrow?' WELL NO, IT'S TODAY!" Chris stops yelling now. "You will all be airdropped some supplies to help you build a shelter! Each team will have all of today to build a shelter. Tomorrow morning, Chef will come over to each camp and inspect them. The two teams with the worst shelters will be up for elimination. Now get to work!"
"Wow, convenient timing." Sanders notes. The team looks up to see a crate dropping down. As they wait for it to land, discussion begins. "What should we do?"
"We need our shelter to stand out from the pack." MacArthur says. "Let's build an underground shelter!"
"Great idea!" Chet smiles.
"I know right, we will be so unique!" Tyler adds.
"Agreed." Lindsay says.
"No! That would be stupid, if it rains, then our shelter will flood!" Sanders protests.
"Yeah, we want to live in it after we're done building." Cody agrees.
MacArthur scoffs. "Four against two, we're doing the underground shelter!"
Sanders and Cody share a concerned glance.
Confessional: Sanders
"Chet, Tyler, and Lindsay are being ironic… right?"
Conf end
Confessional: Chet
"MacArthur's a genius!"
Conf end
Confessional: MacArthur
"No way we lose!"
Conf end
Cut to Gray Team
We cut to Axel taking some building supplies out of a crate. "Blaineley, don't you DARE touch anything!"
"Oh my gosh, stop being a drama queen." Blaineley rolls her eyes. "Don't worry about me touching the materials or doing anything wrong. I would never actually work on a shelter myself, I'd just hire a servant to make one for me. You can gladly take charge."
Axel's eyes narrow in determination. "Alright, I will! Jacques, Heather, Sugar, go get some bamboo. Chase and Duncan, get some palm fronds. Blaineley, please… do nothing."
"Alright!" Blaineley cheers. "Have fun working all day, losers!"
Blaineley goes to run off but trips and falls into the dirt, causing the whole team to laugh at her.
"HOW DARE YOU LAUGH!"
"Sorry, it's just really fun to watch you get hurt!" Heather laughs.
Confessional: Blaineley
"Stupid team has no respect…"
Conf end
Confessional: Axel
"I wouldn't put it past Blaineley to sabotage us today."
Conf end
Cut to Blue Team
"Well, we're screwed." MK frowns.
"Don't be so negative MK, we have a shot!" Ella responds.
"You voted to make a wizard's tower for your shelter last time Ella, I don't trust your taste." MK crosses her arms.
"I-" Tammy tries to interject.
"And you're the one who is best friends with the guy who suggested a wizard's tower, Tammy. You must have bad taste too."
Tammy and Ella look at each other.
Confessional: Tammy
"I hate to admit it, but she has a point…"
Conf end
"Well, what ideas do you have?" Ella questions.
"None, that's why I said we're screwed." MK deadpans.
"Don't worry guys, the Dwaynester knows a little about this subject!" Dwayne says with pride. The girls all look worried. "Ella and Tammy, get some wood and bamboo please!"
"Sure thing." Tammy nods as the duo head out.
Cut to Lime Team
"I wish we got stuff that would actually build the shelter instead of just things like hammers and ropes." Ryan sighs as he, Sierra, and Wayne are collecting materials.
"This challenge is hard, I like it!" Sierra smiles.
"You like it? I mean, I like a good challenge too, but this isn't exactly my forte." Ryan replies.
"The challenges on Total Drama always excite me, they're one of the reasons I got so hooked on the show." Sierra says.
"So, you're such a fan of this show, any challenge would be good?"
"Yup."
"If there was a pooping challenge, you'd be into it?" Ryan asks. Wayne laughs at this, causing Ryan and Sierra to stare at him.
"Pooping challenge, we should have that!"
"We really shouldn't." Sierra grimaces. "But fine, you found something I wouldn't like."
Ryan chuckles. "But you said challenges in general got you hooked onto the show? I thought it was Cody."
"It was everything! Cody, the drama, the strategy, the challenges… there just isn't a show like this! It's beautiful in its simplicity. What got you guys to sign up?" Sierra questions.
"Rajie and I saw an ad for the show. We never saw it before, so we binged the show and loved the challenges like you did. Who doesn't love paintball?" Wayne asks.
"Good question!" Sierra agrees.
"Anyways, we saw there was a new season and signed up together. We told the producers that they either had to put both of us in, or neither of us. We made it in, and the rest is history." Wayne smiles. "I can't believe I won!"
"No one can believe you won." Sierra comments.
"I know right! But enough about me, what about you Ryan?" Wayne directs the question.
"It wasn't Total Drama, but I signed up for the Ridonculous Race because Stephanie and I only recently got together at the time. We fell for each other quickly and wanted to do something big together. We saw an ad- just like you Wayne- and signed up." Ryan explains.
"Did you have fun? The racing format seems interesting, Raj and I should try out for it someday." Wayne says.
"Cody and I should too!" Sierra squeals. Wayne and Ryan share a 'that's not gonna happen' glance.
"It was the low point of our relationship, we broke up for a bit and were called the Haters after all…" Ryan says awkwardly.
"I'm surprised you are still together at all, not gonna lie." Sierra states.
"We had no real arguments this season at least, too bad she still isn't here."
Wayne and Sierra share an 'oops we did that' look. As the trio head back to camp, Sierra notices something in a tree hole. She 'stumbles over', falling into the tree where she grabs the object. "Wow, I'm clumsy!" she chuckles as she stands up straight.
"Happens to the best of us." Wayne assures.
Confessional: Sierra
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I found the replacement idol!"
Conf end
Confessional: Wayne
"It was nice to talk to Ryan and Sierra, we don't talk as much as I do with Junior."
Conf end
Confessional: Ryan
"I think I'm doing a solid job at playing from the bottom after Stephanie left… it's slightly weird talking to the people in the majority knowing they can pick you off at any time, but it was nice to learn a little more about them."
Conf end
Cut to Orange Team
Millie and B are walking through the woods together. Millie has been ranting for the past seven minutes.
"I just don't get why Ezekiel is still mad at me! I meant no harm by what I said, and I even apologized!"
B nods, a motion he's been repeating during this entire conversation.
"I'm not a bad person, I'm just a victim of circumstance! Have you ever been made out to be the villain because of a misunderstanding?"
B nods yet again. Only this time, he actually cares about what Millie is saying. The memories of Scott framing him for the team's loss back in Revenge of the Island briefly floods his mind.
"What if he rallies people to get me out? He can easily pin Dawn against me, and probably Katie and Sadie too, since they have no allies! And since that would be the majority, I'm sure you and DJ would too! There'd be NO ONE left who would vote with me, and I'll get out in a six to one!"
Millie looks like she's about to break down, but B calms her down by placing his hand on her shoulder. To ease her worries, B offers an alliance by pointing to himself, then Millie, then interlocking his fingers.
"Uh... Was that an alliance offer?"
B gives a thumbs up. This drastically improves Millie's mood.
"I- I accept! Thanks B, I really appreciate it!"
Confessional: Millie
"I'm not that close with B, but who am I to turn down an alliance offer? I'll gladly work with him if it gives me a higher chance of staying in the game!"
Conf end
Confessional: B
B smiles at securing an ally. However, he's confused on why Millie would think Zeke and Katie + Sadie would work together right now, Zeke isn't very happy with them either after they were the ones that blamed him for the rogue vote.
Conf end
We see Dawn walk up to Ezekiel and DJ as they are tying some bamboo together. "Hi Zeke." Dawn greets. DJ chooses not to comment on being ignored in this greeting.
"Hi." Ezekiel replies, still focused on the bamboo.
"How are you?" Dawn asks. "You've been a bit distant the past few days."
Ezekiel sighs. "Dawn, can I be honest?"
"Of course."
"I just need a bit of time. It's nothing against you at all, I just feel stupid for confessing to you and need some distance. It won't be forever, but just for a few days." Ezekiel says.
"Huh?" Dawn questions with a bit of surprise. "I don't understand."
"Like I said, it's nothing against you. But can you please respect that?" Ezekiel requests before walking off. Dawn has a sad look while DJ stares.
"Why is he still upset? I wasn't mean when turning him down or anything." Dawn questions DJ.
"He just got emotionally invested and needs a bit of time Dawn, it's not a big deal." DJ replies.
Confessional: Dawn
"I'm confused…"
Conf end
Confessional: DJ
"Dawn is very nice, but she has a tendency to sometimes miss social cues, and I don't just mean when she reveals stuff about people without a care for their privacy."
Conf end
As Ezekiel is walking away, he encounters Katie. The pair endure an awkward stare down. "So…" Katie mutters.
"Why did you and Sadie throw me under the bus? I didn't vote for Millie." Ezekiel gets straight to the point.
"You clearly did." Katie narrows her eyes. "We were just spitting facts, sorry."
"What can I say to convince you that it wasn't me?"
"Nothing." Katie replies. "You're the only possibility."
Ezekiel sighs. "Maybe YOU did it, and you're trying to put the blame on me."
Katie gasps. "I did not!"
"The loudest accusation makers are always the culprit!"
"You know what? I won't stand here and get slandered, I'm going to talk to Sadie now."
Confessional: Katie
"Why is he mad? Even if he didn't vote for Millie, he is clearly the most likely choice from an outsider's perspective."
Conf end
Confessional: Ezekiel
"These past few days have been a low point for me…"
Conf end
Cut to Green Team
"So… do you think Josee and Nichelle will go for it?" Dakota asks as she and Miles are setting up a shelter structure near the fire.
"I'll have to ask them later today." Miles states. "But if they're on board, we can run this game."
"Ugh, I'd love that for us." Dakota says.
"Nichelle and Josee have separate duos with Shawn and Alejandro, they aren't mainly connected to each other. If the guys left, we'd be the swing votes." Miles explains.
"You're right!" Dakota smiles. "You're also lucky, you probably can swing between Shawn + Nichelle and Alejandro + Josee anyways, right?"
"Basically, that was my goal. But I'll talk to Josee first.'
"Omg, thanks! She better say yes or I'll totally post a negative tweet about her."
Confessional: Dakota
"I hope Miles will save me as much as she does with animals."
Conf end
Confessional: Miles
"I'll see how the conversations go."
Conf end
Cut to Pink Team
"Scarlett said WHAT about Izzy?" Zoey questions with a surprised look.
"Yeah, it's true." Sammy says after she just finished explaining the Brainzilla stuff.
"Well…" Zoey mutters. "She was somehow able to stare into Mike's soul in All Stars…"
"I forgot about that!" Sammy gasps.
Confessional: Zoey
"Izzy has always been one of my favorite contestants as a viewer… doesn't make her any less confusing though."
Conf end
Confessional: Sammy
"I've been talking to the others about Scarlett's theory. Who knows, it could help me."
Conf end
Cut to Red Team
Despite the earlier arguing, we see Harold directing the building for the team. "How do you know so much about this?" Leshawna asks.
"Probably some Steve's camp." Scott jokes.
"And you'd be right!" Harold beams with pride.
"I usually am." Scott comments.
"Well, I'm going to get some water so I don't end up dehydrated while working on this." Harold states.
"Can I come with you, mama needs a drink." Leshawna points to herself.
"Of course." Harold nods. The duo head off.
"You're doing a good job so far today, we need performances like that to rehab your reputation with Bridgette and Brick." Leshawna compliments.
"Thanks." Harold smiles. "I just can't believe that Courtney's alliance has control and we don't."
"I know, it sucks. If you want any chance of it not being you next, you'll have to apologize to those two though." Leshawna states.
"You're right… I'll keep working hard, hopefully have them feel good about me, then apologize when they're in the positive mindset. Isn't that something you do a lot on reality TV?" Harold questions.
Leshawna nods. "You've picked up a lot from me."
Confessional: Harold
"Who wouldn't want to pick things up from Leshawna, she's a genius!"
Conf end
Cut to Purple Team
We see the whole team digging into the ground. "This is so stupid, can we PLEASE do something else?" Sanders begs.
"Sanders, why are you complaining?" Chet asks. "Do we want to be lame, or do we want to win?"
"I want to be competent and win. You're digging up a death trap!" Sanders points out.
"Don't worry Sandy, it will be okay!" Lindsay smiles.
Cut to Yellow Team
Crimson is carrying some wood by herself. She doesn't mind being by herself of course, but another camper seems to think otherwise. "Do you want some help, Crimson?" Owen asks as he walks up to her, carrying more than she is.
"No." Crimson dryly responds.
'Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Ok then… are you sure you don't want anyone to talk to though? You've been alone since Ennui has left, and-"
"Owen."
"Yes?"
Crimson sighs. "You're a nice person. You're a social person, and I respect that. I think it's revoltingly nice of you to try and include me in conversations. I think it's revoltingly nice of you to always try and make sure I'm okay. I am. I'm fine being alone, I like being alone. The only people I truly like being around are non energetic people with a similar worldview as mine. I find you annoying, please stop forcing conversations."
Owen doesn't have a response as Crimson walks away. "Yikes, tough crowd…"
Confessional: Crimson
"I don't hate Owen as a person, I just had to say that. Silence is preferable with most of the others on my team."
Conf end
Confessional: Owen
"Should've realized I needed to stop talking to her sooner…
Conf end
We see Kitty walking up to Owen, having just heard the conversation. "Wow, she's a people person, isn't she?" Kitty jokes. This causes Owen to laugh a little.
"I'm glad she told me there was a problem directly at least, a lot of people just call me annoying behind my back." Owen says in a somewhat sad voice.
"Well the rest of us don't find you annoying." Kitty assures.
"I know." Owen smiles. "Part of me just feels bad for Crimson."
Kitty raises an eyebrow. "Why? She's clearly comfortable with herself."
"She is a sad person deep within, I just hate seeing others sad. I used to be that way before high school." Owen frowns.
"Well, we can't change others. Crimson has chosen her lifestyle, and the rest of us have chosen ours." Kitty responds.
"I guess you're right. Anyways, let's get to work. I want to win a reward for food!"
Confessional: Kitty
"I love Owen, but he's an acquired taste for a lot of people."
Conf end
Cut to Gray Team
We cut to Chase and Duncan getting some palm fronds, just as Axel requested. "I never really cared about YouTube unless I needed a tutorial for how to dismantle something." Duncan tells Chase after Chase brags about his former subscriber count.
"It's a great platform for prank videos."
"Like hiding a machete?" Duncan jokingly questions.
"Please don't say you believed that grandma." Chase groans.
"I didn't. I just find mocking Blaineley fun." Duncan says.
"Based." Chase replies.
"I'm just a bit surprised you still talk about YouTube though, I thought you don't do that anymore." Duncan comments.
"That wasn't by choice, people just stopped watching my content." Chase shakes his head.
"Because of what you did to that girl? What's her name again?"
"Emma."
"Didn't she get eliminated?" Duncan asks.
"No, that was the other Emma."
"Why the hell are there TWO Emma's, that makes it confusing!" Duncan exclaims.
"I know! People were mad about me cutting her brakes or whatever." Chase explains.
"...how did I forget you cut her brakes… that is pretty extreme." Duncan says.
"Like you wouldn't do the same thing." Chase stares.
"I've cut the brakes to many people's cars, but not to any of my exes." Duncan replies.
"It was just a prank though! It's also been YEARS, why can't people get over it by now?" Chase asks. "People seem to still like you online, and you committed arson- which was totally sick, by the way!"
"Thanks!" Duncan cackles, getting fond memories of All Stars. "How were YOU not arrested though?"
"The officer came to arrest me. My defense was 'it's a prank, bro!' The officer was totally understanding and let me go!" Chase explains.
"Maybe I should've done that…" Duncan notes with a hint of jealousy.
"But anyways, things will work out in the end between Emma and I. They always do." Chase confidently puts his hands on his hips.
"Are you sure? When's the last time you guys were together?"
"Uh… two years ago or so?" Chase responds.
"And you STILL think there's hope?" Duncan looks shocked.
"Of course there is. We always got together after our past 700 breakups, this won't be any different."
Duncan sighs. "Look man, she probably has moved on if she hasn't taken you back already."
Chase has a sad look. "She hasn't moved on… I hope she hasn't, we're meant to be together."
Duncan laughs. "You really think so?"
"I know so!"
Duncan laughs even harder. "If you want some advice- and you probably shouldn't since it's coming from me, I'm not exactly great with relationships- you need to give a genuine apology or at least reflect that what you did was wrong." Duncan suggests.
"But I didn't do anything wrong, it was literally a prank!" Chase defends himself.
Duncan shakes his head. "Well, if you're delusional enough to believe that, I won't stop you. I used to be a lot like you, I didn't care about how my actions hurt others. If you don't change, you will end up in jail like I did with not many people who care."
Chase rolls his eyes.
Confessional: Duncan
"I haven't had a stable job since leaving prison, maybe life coach could be it… nah, I don't want to listen to everyone's sob stories. It's just shocking to meet someone who is just as bad in a relationship as I am, I had to say something to the dude!" Duncan refers to Chase.
Conf end
Confessional: Chase
"Duncan doesn't know what he's talking about. I won't be alone! Sure, I live alone because I chose my career over my family… I have no followers… my friends left when my channel did… and Emma hasn't taken me back yet, but life will sort itself out soon!" Chase confidently proclaims. His smile fades after a few seconds.
Conf end
Cut to Red Team
We see Bridgette and Courtney talking. "So… about that couples alliance!" Courtney jokes. Bridgette gives a dry laugh.
"Yeah… that didn't work out the way I had hoped." Bridgette admits. "I can't believe he AND Brody are gone already."
"I thought they'd last a lot longer." Courtney comments. She chooses not to mention that she isn't too upset about their departures, as it means Bridgette is more open to her as an ally.
"Well… I know you guys had a bit of a tense moment this morning, but maybe Leshawna would be a good replacement?" Bridgette suggests. "She's a logical player and probably my closest friend. With us three and Scott, we'd be pretty unstoppable."
"Hm… you may be right. Leshawna has no real flaws as an ally on this show.' Courtney agrees. "Do you think she'd be on board with this while Harold is still in the game though? I'm not sure if she'd want to form an alliance that doesn't include him."
Bridgette and Courtney look at each other. "What if we just… you know… take out Harold." Bridgette says.
"Well…" Courtney smirks. "I like the sound of that."
Confessional: Courtney
"I'm liking this new strategic side of Bridgette! Her plan sounds great to me. Get the benefits of Leshawna without the annoyance of Harold!"

Confessional: Bridgette
"Yeah, I'm still pretty ticked about Harold. Geoff also told me to play hard. I still remember the expensive wedding we want to have, that ten million dollars needs to be mine!"

Jacques and Heather are sitting gathering supplies in silence, the quiet being usual for the pair at this point.
"So..." Heather suddenly says.
"So?" Jacques replies.
More silence.
"We really should try to get to know each other better." Heather suggests.
"What is there to talk about? Every conversation we have leads to nowhere, I'm tired of pretending like we have things in common."
Sugar is nearby, out of sight. She hasn't really been paying attention to the current conversation.
"I know, but we're allies! We should at least try."
The word "allies" gets Sugar's attention. She's now listening closely to every word the duo says to one another.
"An alliance doesn't have to always get along. Didn't you hate Lindsay and Beth in the first season?" Jacques questions.
"That was a different scenario. In this alliance, I actually view you as an equal."
Sugar gasps.
Confessional: Sugar
"OH HELL NO! Who does Heather think she is allying with the ballerina? He needs to be loyal to SUGAR, AND SUGAR ONLY!" Sugar proclaims while pounding her fist into her hand.

"Heather and I are both villains, but we aren't really similar in any other ways. We have nothing to talk about, and Heather doesn't have the brute force of Sugar to force a conversation."

"I'm tired…" MK complains as she and Dwayne are working on the shelter together.
"Hey tired, I'm dad!" Dwayne laughs.
"Dwayne… literally shut-"
…
There is a moment of silence between the duo. Dwayne didn't quite catch what MK was going to say. MK stopped herself from making a rude comment because of what she is about to say. "Dwayne… I need your help." MK says.
"I taught you how to use the hammer so many times MK, do you-"
"No, not with the hammer." MK interrupts. "We need to form an alliance."
Dwayne chuckles. "Why should we form an alliance?"
MK groans. Does she really have to explain this to him? "In case you haven't noticed, Tammy and Ella are a close duo. They're going to vote together at the next elimination ceremony. You may have voted with them to get Jules out, but if you vote for me, you're next." MK explains. Dwayne seems to be taking her point into consideration.
"Well, you may be right." Dwayne says while looking to strike a nail with the hammer. "If I don't work with you, it could be the nail in my coffin!"
He said the latter comment while hitting the nail, causing him to laugh at his own joke. "Get it, nail?" Dwayne chuckles again.
MK looks at her hammer and groans. "I can't believe I'm about to do this." she thinks. "Hey Dwayne, no need to HAMMER the point home!"
Dwayne begins laughing at the awful joke while MK sighs. "Julia is going to break up with me, who would want to date someone who resorts to making shitty puns to save herself?"
"More like hammer the point SHELTER! Get it, because we're building our own home in a shelter challenge-"
"I get it." MK cuts off.

"Julia, I'm so sorry!"

Elsewhere, we see the duo of Ella and Tammy with wood in their hands. "Tammy, now that we're alone, I just remembered that I needed to tell you something." Ella says.
"What is it?" Tammy inquires.
"I found the idol!" Ella squeals with joy.
"REALLY?" Tammy gasps
"I did!" Ella confirms.
"That's great Ella! We should be good for a while now." Tammy says before her stomach rumbles. "Ow…"
"Are you okay? Do you need to eat?" Ella questions, having heard the rumbling.
"Nope, we have to focus on the challenge." Tammy replies.
"You can take like five minutes to eat Tammy, we won't lose because of that." Ella says. She raises an eyebrow. "When is the last time you've eaten anything? I feel like I haven't seen you eat in days."
"That doesn't matter!" Tammy snaps. "Let's get to work, do you want to win or not?"
Confessional: Ella
"Why did she get so mad?" Ella frowns.

Speaking of idols, we cut to someone who has a real idol, that being Nichelle. "Shawn…" Nichelle starts while carrying bamboo. "Guess what?"
"Yes?" Shawn questions.
"ZOMBIE!" Nichelle screams.
"WHAT?" Shawn yells, beginning to freak out and run up a tree. "Nichelle, get up here before they get you!"
Nichelle begins laughing hysterically as Shawn still has a terrified look on his face. "I was joking, there aren't any zombies around here!"
Just to make sure, Shawn looks around everywhere before coming back down. "Why would you say that, it scared me half to death!"
"Sorry, I just wanted to see your reaction." Nichelle laughs.
"LOOK, IT'S JERRY!" Shawn suddenly yells.
"WHERE? LET ME AT HIM!" Nichelle shouts while looking around. After a few moments, she realizes that Jerry is nowhere to be found. "...well, I guess I had that coming."
The duo shares a laugh. "Did you actually have something to say?" Shawn questions.
"Yeah…" Nichelle says before pulling the idol out of her pocket. "Guess what I found!"
Shawn gasps before smiling. "Oh my god!"
"I know!"
Confessional: Shawn
"As if our alliance couldn't get any better, now she has the idol!"

We cut to Miles and Josee. "Josee, can we talk?"
"This isn't first grade Miles, you don't have to ask for permission." Josee rolls her eyes.
"Alright then…" Miles replies in a slightly annoyed tone at the sass. "Should we like… consider Dakota's idea about the girls?"
Josee shrugs. "Honestly, I don't know. Sounds like a lame answer, but it's true."
"Ok, well… tell me if you change your mind! I don't think it'd be a horrible idea." Miles says.
"I think we should ask Nichelle if anything." Josee suggests.
"Should we talk to her?" Miles asks.
"Later. Right now, gold should be the only thing on our mind."
Confessional: Josee
"Alejandro is my #1 ally currently, but I won't ever close off other options. Miles seems to want this. If Nichelle is on board, I might go with the girl alliance idea."

We see Eva and Jo sharing an awkward glance as they're putting the shelter together. Everyone else is getting materials.
…
"You know, it's kinda sad how things are between us." Eva breaks the ice.
"You think so?" Jo questions in confusion.
"Yeah, in another world we could have been working together." Eva states.
"Well, we aren't…"
"That's why I said in another world, pay attention." Eva sneers. "But we're pretty similar all things considered."
"I guess so. We are tomboys… or at least I consider myself one, I won't speak for you though."
"I'd probably be called that." Eva shrugs.
The conversation dies down after that.
Confessional: Eva
"During that truth challenge when Jo admitted to feeling pressure about gender roles, I felt like I could relate to her there. I guess that's why it was sad she chose to work with a different alliance." Eva says.

Junior is struggling to lift a large piece of wood. "Do you need help, kid?" Lightning questions while he's effortlessly carrying some of his own.
"No, I can do this myself." Junior replies.
"You sure? Lightning thinks you're struggling!" Lightning says.
"I'm fine, but thanks for asking, I guess. I just need to do this on my own… prove my worth, you know?"
"Oh, Lightning gets ya! I've been kind of sha-impressed with you recently, you did well in the past few challenges." Lightning says.
"Well, that's good, you kind of pressured me a lot early on…" Junior admits.
"Pressure ain't a bad thing! My dad bets things on me to win, and he tells me that I'd be a disappointment if I lose. That pressure made me as good as I am today!" Lightning says.
Junior raises an eyebrow.
Confessional: Junior
"Doesn't that sound like a toxic mindset to anyone else?" Junior questions. "My dad can be… cringy, and that's putting it nicely. But he wouldn't ever do stuff like that. At least Lightning doesn't think I'm completely useless anymore!"

Sky and Jasmine are constructing their shelter while Mary sits by and is crafting a wooden chair. "Hopefully these little aesthetic boosts provide a higher score." Mary says.
"I hope so too." Jasmine replies. She quickly goes back to focusing. Jasmine effortlessly is moving the materials she needs into place, impressing Sky.
"You might be the strongest person I've ever met." Sky comments with a smile.
'Thanks, I have great genetics." Jasmine grins.
"I like to think I do too, but yours must be top tier."
"My whole family is very tall and muscular, but they're not as athletic as yours seem to be." Jasmine replies.
As the duo exchange compliments, Mary frowns.

"I don't like this. I caused Sky to resent Jasmine a little bit for a while, but it seems they have moved past that and are being friendly. I need to make sure Sky stays as MY number 1."

We cut to Max and Scott talking. "The Yellow Team is going to think that I have the idol!" Max cackles. "That was another brilliant display of diabolical play by yours truly!"
Scott begins to laugh, still finding Max to be a funny presence around camp. "Unironically, you're right. I don't know how exactly, but that could be bad for them in the future. I'm just surprised at how much we've turned things around in such a quick time. We went from down in numbers 7-3 to now possibly up 4-3."
"We shouldn't have been at risk to begin with, good thing the team has seen the light!" Max cheers.
"Exactly." Scott agrees.
"We show that EVIL will always prevail."
This gets Scott thinking. "I have a question."
"I don't take questions!" Max snaps.
…
"But ask away." he finishes.
Scott rolls his eyes. "What is your… erm…" Scott tries to think of a term. "Villain origin story. What made you become EVIL. Were you born this way, did you just decide to become EVIL one day, what happened?"
Max scoffs. "Why would you like to know?"
"We've been allies for a long time, maybe I'm curious about how you became the evilest mind of the 21st century." Scott replies. It slightly pains him to use that nickname, but he finds it ironically funny enough to look past… for now.
"Well fine, I'll explain it. Just because you addressed me properly." Max scoffs.
"Go on then." Scott says.
"I tried to be the good guy when I was younger! I tried to help the other kids, but I was rejected by society for what they described as my 'wild imagination'! I used to try and be a superhero, but everyone laughed it off. If I was going to be disrespected, I decided that trying to be a hero to appease people who would laugh at me wasn't worth it. I studied my craft in villainy to get where I am today! I will NOT help anyone in need anymore." Max explains.
"What about that baby Brody kidnapped-"
"I was trying to convert it to my ways, not help." Max rolls his eyes.
"Alright…"

"That's my villain origin story. Be careful who you write off, because they could come back and make your life hell!"

"It's almost like I warned everyone it was a bad idea." Sanders sighs.
"It will pay off in the end, don't worry." Chet assures.
"Alright…"
The duo are in silence for a bit. Sanders breaks it. "What were you and MK even talking about yesterday? Are you friends outside of the game?"
"No, we just swam into each other and had a moment of banter. Nothing more, nothing less." Chet replies.
"Makes sense."

Bowie and Raj are taking a break after their team spent a good portion of the day building their shelter. "I'm so tired…" Raj yawns.
"Same." Bowie yawns too, those are contagious people! Bowie leans his head on Raj's shoulder. "Did you make any progress with Crimson?"
Raj sighs. "No… Emma told me I should keep my distance, so I won't annoy her."
"Smart." Bowie says before groaning. "I hate the uncertainty of the next vote, we have to solely rely on Crimson."
Raj has a guilty look. "Bowie, I'm so sorry for stressing you out. If I didn't flip, I-"
"What's done is done, don't worry. We will get Crimson on our side somehow." Bowie vows. "Let's lighten the mood a little. Has anything fun happened recently?"
"Emma was eyeing Wayne!" Raj says.
Bowie gasps. "Ok, I am more gagged than Staci's great great grandmother Amelia when she died of suffocation at a restaurant. What did you just say?"
"Wait, how did you know that about Staci's-"
"Did I just hear you correctly?" Bowie asks. "What do you mean Emma was eyeing Wayne?"
"She was like… looking at him in a funny way during the swimming challenge. She said she was counting his abs, she likes doing that or something." Raj shrugs.
"She was looking at his abs, but said she was just counting them? And you believed that?"
"I mean… no. But I don't know what else it could mean, so I haven't put a ton of thought into it."
"She told me early into our first season that if she can't think of a better excuse for when she gets caught staring, that's what she'll use." Bowie says.
"Oh… what could she have been staring for then?" Raj asks with a genuinely confused look.
Bowie internally facepalms.

Emma and Noah happen to cross paths while walking in the woods. They use this as an opportunity to talk to one another.
"Hi." They say in unison, the only difference being that Emma said it with more enthusiasm.
"You go first." Noah offers.
"Okay! My name is Emma, and I'm friends with Raj and Bowie."
"I already know that-"
"HOW? We have barely spoken one on one before!" Emma laughs, finding her "joke" to be hilarious. "You're on friendly terms with Bowie and Raj too, right?"
Emma already knows the answer considering Bowie chose to save Noah over Carrie + Raj mentioned not wanting to disappoint Noah, but it's an easy conversation starter.
"Yes." Noah bluntly replies.
"Well then, a friend of theirs is a friend of mine! We should hang out sometime to get to know each other better!" Emma suggests.
"Yeah, sure. That sounds good."

"She was all like 'omg Sadie, you caused drama? We should form a drama team!' Do you know what I said to her?" Sadie asks.
"EEK, what did you say?"
"That she was mean, old, unlikeable, and no one cared about her! That was super funny, her eye twitched and everything! EEK she thought I would forget how awful she acted towards everyone back on the World Tour aftermath shows."
"She was a NIGHTMARE!" Katie replies as the duo head into camp. They see B has built a big shelter almost single handedly. People just hand him things like a wrench or hammer occasionally, but other than that, B has this challenge on lock.
"Wow, you're amazing!" Sadie compliments.

Axel is making the finishing touches on her team's shelter while Heather walks up to her. "Hey…"
"Hi." Axel replies bluntly.
"I have a question."
"Yes?"
"Do you feel confident in our games right now?" Heather asks.
"Do you not?" Axel raises an eyebrow. She turns around to face Heather. "Is something wrong?"
"I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I've been feeling worried the past few days." Heather states. "Like I can't get rid of this aching feeling that I'm doing something wrong, but I can't place my finger on what that thing is."
"We're still here, are we not?" Axel asks, not thinking too hard about it.
"We are, but we need to ensure that we'll be here for as long as possible. I talk to Jacques sometimes, but I'm not sure if he'd actually vote with me or not." Heather says while shaking her head. "Maybe I just can't stand the lack of control."
This seems to get Axel's attention. "Explain…"
"In every other season, I fought as hard as I could to get strategic control on my teams, even if it didn't always work like in Action." Heather says. "I was unable to get Amy or Blaineley out over Beardo or Ripper. We got Amy out finally, but I'm just worried something will go wrong again before we get Blaineley out. I hate this feeling of being scared for my game…"
Axel hums in thought. "Well I'm not an expert on this subject… and by subject, I mean regular human emotions, but I think I might be kind of similar. At least on the control part. I got myself eliminated 2nd because I couldn't stand not being the leader. But you're Heather. Stop being scared, start playing harder to ensure the safety you want."
Heather smiles.
Confessional: Heather
"She's right…"
Conf end
Confessional: Axel
"I don't like feeling bad for yourself, I had to remind her who she was. A worried mind is a weak mind, a weak mind is a weak teammate, a weak teammate leaks to a weak team, a weak team has to vote people out! And I do NOT want to vote anyone else out!"

"OH HELL NAW!" Sugar bursts out. "I need to tell that ballerina that Heather is worse news than a cow shitting on October 5th!"
"Huh?"
"We can't let Heather take control of this team!" Sugar says.
"Agreed. We need to turn at least one of her allies against her." Duncan nods.

"You should've BEEN there when the paparazzi took photos of me, it was mesmerizing!"
"I'm sure it was." Alejandro deadpans. "Now slide the bamboo."
Dakota does as instructed, but her super strength causes her to push part of the bamboo further than needed, into the nearby fire. Neither her or Alejandro see that it touches the flame. "Oopsie." she says while pulling it back. Alejandro only just realizes before it's too late.
"Wait, Dakota-"
The flaming bamboo touches the rest of the shelter.
"SOMEONE GET WATER!" Alejandro yells out. Nichelle, Shawn, Miles, and Josee overhear this and run to the lake with buckets. The fire spreads for a few minutes before they return, managing to put out the fire. Half of their shelter is burnt though.
Josee begins screaming. "WHO'S BRIGHT IDEA WAS IT TO START BUILDING THE SHELTER NEAR THE FIRE?"
"Didn't you two plan where to build it?" Nichelle points to Miles and Dakota. Both have a guilty look.
"Oops." is all Dakota gets out.

"It got Zoey to the final three twice in a row, it should work for us too!" Staci laughs.

The whole team is in camp, almost done with the shelter. Sky tries to put a palm frond on the top as some protection from potential rain, but she isn't tall enough for the task. Before Jasmine can help her, Izzy runs up to Sky. "I can help you!"
Izzy climbs up a nearby tree. She jumps off of it, somehow perfectly placing the palm frond onto the shelter. "Nice work Izzy!" Sky compliments.
"Nice work, Brainzilla." Scarlett says, getting Izzy's attention. The rest of the team looks a bit surprised at the blatant call out.
Izzy laughs nervously. "Excuse me?"
"I said nice work, Brainzilla." Scarlett calmly repeats.
"Who?" Izzy asks.
"You know full well who, and so does everyone here. You got rid of Emma right after she asked if you were Brainzilla. Just admit that you're her, it's the least you can do." Scarlett says, getting more shocked looks.
"Oh snap, she went right for her." Zoey whispers to Sammy.
"Wanna make a bet on how Izzy responds?" Sammy asks.
"10 dollars she denies it." Zoey replies.
"Bet!" Sammy says before the duo shake hands.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Izzy shrugs.
"You know full well what I'm talking about, you went to Sammy, Jasmine, and Zoey to betray our alliance with Emma." Scarlett continues to call out.
"Um, it was a mutual agreement…" Izzy looks away.
"Actually, you came to me and begged for it to be Emma. How did you find out about my advantage anyways, I never told you." Sammy injects herself into the conversation.
"You left it lying around!" Izzy replies.
"Nope, I never carelessly left it anywhere last time I can recall." Sammy shuts down the argument.
"I overheard you tell Jasmine and Zoey."
Scarlett inserts herself back into things. "That would sound believable if you didn't have a different story literally 10 seconds ago."
"Izzy, is something going on with you?" Sky asks, only now being clued into this theory.
Izzy is visibly stressed while Mary looks fascinated. "I need to put this in my research paper about peer pressure, she's breaking!"
"I…"
"Say the truth Izzy, we know by now anyways." Scarlett smirks.
At this point, everyone on the team is staring at Izzy. "Alright, fine, you got me!" Izzy starts talking in her "Brainzilla" voice, causing the team to gasp.
"Yes!" Scarlett cheers.
"But please, let me explain." Izzy sighs.
"The floor is yours." Mary offers.
"My crazy personality is kind of an act… but it's not malicious or some scheme to screw everyone over." Izzy states.
"Then what is it for?" Scarlett questions.
"What do you mean kind of?" Zoey adds.
"I'm about to explain it, maybe have some patience." Izzy looks annoyed. "I do all these 'crazy' things because I just find it fun. When I was younger, I was expected to be this world changing figure with my intelligence. I didn't want to, so I decided to carve my own path and be a different person. Doing crimes and escaping the law was fun. Causing explosions was fun. Doing Total Drama is fun, these are things I would rather do with my time than make scientific revelations."
The shocked faces on the Pink Team have not left. "What was getting rid of Emma about?" Jasmine questions.
"I didn't want the Brainzilla stuff to be a thing that is widely discussed… too late for that I suppose. Believe me, I didn't do it to be some strategic mastermind. If I truly cared about actually winning the game or plotting some evil scheme, I had many chances in the past to do that. Like I said, I do this game for fun. I don't care to actually play strategically, I just felt like I had to do it there to protect myself… though clearly that doesn't matter as you all found out anyways. I guess I should give you credit, Scarlett…"
Scarlett stands up and takes a bow.
"I'm in the crazy character so much that it feels natural at this point, which is why I said it was kind of an act. But I'm going right back to it after this conversation ends. I don't want to be Brainzilla full time because that isn't what brings me joy in life. It's the crazy adventures I get myself into and the friends I've made on this show, that is what fulfills me more than any big brain scheme ever could."
With that, Izzy walks off as everyone is shocked by the lore drop.
Confessional: Izzy
"Hopefully they'll leave me alone now… haha!" Izzy begins laughing, putting herself back to her crazy state.
Conf end
Confessional: Scarlett
"I finally got her to admit her true personality!" Scarlett smiles. That smile doesn't last for long though. "Hearing that she doesn't care at all about strategy was a bit underwhelming. Even if she didn't betray Emma, she wouldn't have been any help. Also, what she said about having fun… that hit close to home I think? I put pressure on myself to be a certain way because of my intelligence… but unlike Izzy, I never allowed myself to have true fun."
Scarlett frowns in thought.

Once the camera was replaced, we see Miles. "Josee and I will talk to Nichelle. That will determine Dakota's fate."
Conf end
Cut to Purple Team
We see Sanders, MacArthur, Cody, and Chet talking. "So, we will never let you two use your ideas in a building challenge ever again." Sanders crosses her arms.
"I'm sorry, I-" MacArthur tries to apologize.
"Save it. We need to decide which of Tyler or Lindsay should go."
"Can I suggest?" Cody asks.
"Sure." Sanders nods.
…
Elsewhere, we see Lindsay and Tyler walking together. "Do you think Chet and Cody would flip on the Cadets?" Tyler asks.
"It's our only bet. They should know how strong they are, they won this before." Lindsay shrugs. Because they got mentioned, Chet and Cody conveniently are walking together and encounter the ditsy duo. "Hey guys!"
"Hi Lindsay, hi Tyler." Cody greets.
"You're going to ask us to vote for Sanders or MacArthur, aren't you?" Chet questions.
"OMG, how did you know?" Lindsay questions with shock.
"They're smart!" Tyler adds.
"But yeah. MacArthur's idea cost us the challenge, and she's been running a lot of the votes. This could be our only chance." Lindsay says.
"Yeah, isn't she all about big moves? It's only a matter of time before the big move is targeted towards one of you." Tyler states. Cody and Chet look at each other in thought.
"That's a good point… can you give us time to discuss it?" Cody requests. Tyler and Lindsay nod in unison and walk away. Once they're alone, Cody pipes up again. "I wasn't thinking about voting for one of them yet, but Tyler actually brought up a good point. Next round would be optimal for MacArthur to try and make a big move on one of us."
"So, you think we should flip?" Chet asks.
"Do YOU think we should flip?"
…
Confessional: Chet
"If we flip, I'd honestly want to get rid of Sanders. I feel like she might catch on to Operation: TYTO being a thing. I'm not sure if Cody would go for it though."
Conf end
Cut to Green Team
We cut to Josee crying by the lake. She isn't alone, as Alejandro walks into the scene. "I would ask if you're okay, but it's clear you aren't." he notes with a frown as he sits next to the bronze expert. "Are you taking the losses hard?"
"You didn't even have to ask that, it's obvious. I just don't understand! It's always some bullshit. It's some luck based majority game, it's Miles and Dakota deciding to start building our shelter near the fire, it's always some stupid thing! We will only have FIVE members after tonight, Alejandro!" Josee rants. "I'm not used to losing so much! If I didn't win gold, my family would beat winning into me!"
Alejandro grimaces. "Define 'beat winning into me'."
"What do you think? It's in the wording." Josee replies. Alejandro has a slightly disturbed look after hearing that, knowing the implication. "Point is, losing so much is unacceptable! No matter what we do tonight, we have to make a change. To our challenge strategy, to our aggressiveness, I don't care. As long as we start winning. I can't imagine how my family is feeling watching me be on one of the worst teams this season!"
Alejandro sighs. "You're not the only one worried about that…"
Josee raises an eyebrow as she wipes away her tears. "I thought you didn't care about your family's opinion after you beat up your brother in All Stars."
"You don't just stop caring so easily, Josee." Alejandro shakes his head.
…
"Are you going to elaborate more on that?" Josee asks.
"...maybe later. Just know that I'll be here to assist you in your goals during the challenge. I'm fully willing to go to the darkest side so we don't have to lose and feel like failures again." Alejandro says with determination. Josee smiles in response. "Now for tonight, we have to talk to the other Forgiveness Alliance members, make sure we send Dakota home."
Josee takes a calmer breath. "Alright. Before you do that, I have something to tell you."
Confessional: Josee
"It may have been dumb to say it, but I have a feeling I'll need Alejandro more than I realize…"
Conf end
Confessional: Alejandro
"Dakota tried to form a girls alliance? Sneaky move, good thing none of them are taking the bait." Alejandro chuckles.
Conf end
We cut to the full Forgiveness Alliance together. "So, will you all agree to do WHATEVER it takes after Dakota leaves?" Alejandro requests. "Josee has been stressed about all our losses."
"Sure, we can't lose again anyways, there will be no one left to pick off." Shawn mentions.
"We're all in on Dakota, right?" Nichelle asks.
Everyone says yes, and the alliance head their separate ways.
…
Well, three of them didn't remain separate for long. Miles, Nichelle, and Josee are all together. "So, this is when we have to make a decision." Miles says. "Are we going to stick with the Forgiveness Alliance, or are we going to form a new majority with Dakota?"
"Nichelle, what do you want?" Josee directs the question, not wanting to answer herself.
"Well, being honest… I don't see a need to betray Alejandro and Shawn. There aren't many benefits right now." Nichelle answers. "The easy vote may be the smart vote… boring isn't good for Hollywood, but sometimes it's good in this game."
"Ok, then let's not flip." Josee says.
Miles nods. "Alright, Dakota it is."
Confessional: Nichelle
"I'm in a great position currently, no need to blow it up."
Conf end
Confessional: Miles
"Well, that's a yikes for Dakota."
Conf end
Later on, we see Dakota walking up to Miles with a smile. "Hey girl, did you get Josee and Nichelle on board?"
Miles gives an awkward smile.
"You didn't get them on board…" Dakota's smile falters.
Miles nods.
"Well… damn."
Confessional: Dakota
"Save me a controller Sam, I'm about to see you! I won't know squat about the game we play, but I'll play it just because we'll be together again!"
Conf end
Cut to the Purple Team at the campfire
"Welcome Purple Team! It seems like you guys always show up here in back to back eliminations. I assume I won't have to worry about you again for a while, but one of you won't live to see tomorrow. Get voting!"
We get a quick cut of everyone voting before cutting back to the campfire ceremony
"If anyone has found a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so…"
…
"Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… MacArthur."
MacArthur grits her teeth.
"2nd vote… MacArthur. 2 votes MacArthur."
MacArthur glares at Tyler and Lindsay.
"3rd vote… Lindsay."
Lindsay frowns.
"4th vote… Lindsay. 2 votes Lindsay, 2 votes MacArthur…"
Lindsay takes a deep breath.
"5th vote… Lindsay. 3 votes Lindsay, 2 votes MacArthur, 1 vote left."
Lindsay gives one last hug to Tyler.
"37th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate… Lindsay! That's 4 and enough, it's time for you to go."
…
"I'll miss you, Lindsay." Tyler frowns.
"I'll miss you too!" Lindsay kisses Tyler.
Cody interrupts this to give a farewell. "Sorry Lindsay, I hope you understand."
"It's okay Cory- Cody- gosh, I need to get that right. Anyways, I have millions of dollars already. This doesn't hurt too bad." Lindsay replies. "Good luck guys!"
With that, the fashion icon makes her exit.
Confessional: MacArthur
"TYLER, VOTING ME WAS A BIG MISTAKE!"
Conf end
Confessional: Cody
"Sanders would stop MacArthur from making an irrational big move at this point, MacArthur doesn't have the numbers to do one if the rest of us don't play ball." Cody gives a finger gun to the camera.
Conf end
Confessional: Tyler
"Now it's just me… can I stand on my own two feet without her? I didn't do so well in World Tour, but I'm going to try and win it for her this time!" Tyler cheers. He jumps up to show his enthusiasm, but he hits his head on the confessional roof and falls into the toilet.
Conf end
Purple Team exits, Green Team enters
"Welcome Green Team! Just like with Purple, you're one of the most frequent visitors!" Chris chuckles. "Anyways, one of you won't be around for long. Get voting-"
"NO!" Dakota suddenly yells. All eyes turn to her.
"Yes, Dakota? Wanting a moment of screen time like usual?" Chris rolls his eyes.
"I want to make one last pitch to stay." Dakota says. "I was originally going to just accept my fate and go home, but then I was like 'omg Dakota, stop being a flop! Go out there and make one last big swing, even if it doesn't work you can say you tried!' So that's what I'm going to do!"
Everyone looks at her nervously.
"This should be good." Chris rubs his hands while laughing.
"You all need to realize your biggest threat is not me. It's Miles." Dakota points her finger.
"WHAT?" Miles yells out.
"Don't look so shocked, you've been scheming hard!" Dakota says. "You all probably know this by now, but I did pitch a girl's alliance on this team. For the past few days, Miles was enthusiastic enough to form an official alliance with me. Want to know the wording she-"
"That alliance was to keep her secure." Miles interjects. "She's obviously just causing drama."
"You said some interesting things. She wanted to kick out you two boys." Dakota says while pointing to Shawn and Alejandro. "She wanted to do that so that she and I could pit Josee and Nichelle against each other to take control."
Josee and Nichelle give unhappy looks at this.
"And? That wasn't a serious pitch."
"You said you'd leave it down to what Josee and Nichelle wanted." Dakota shrugs. "If they said yes, you would've 100% gone with it."
"You did ask about it multiple times the past two days." Josee says.
"Ok, but I was just considering my options!" Miles defends herself.
"So, you WERE considering voting for me or Shawn?" Alejandro raises an eyebrow.
"I'll admit, what I'm saying here may not be a big enough reason to kick Miles out, but this may be." Dakota says. "She is playing both sides. I asked if she could choose between Nichelle + Shawn and Alejandro + Josee, she said that was her goal. I guarantee she has deals with everyone just to protect herself, she had one with me after all."
"I… no I'm not!" Miles gets angry. "Stop trying to turn my alliance against me, I'm not playing all sides."
As Dakota and Miles begin arguing, Shawn and Alejandro begin whispering to each other. "Did she form a deal with you and Nichelle?" Alejandro questions.
"She did. What about you and Josee?" Shawn questions back.
"Yup… so she really just makes deals with anything that walks." Alejandro frowns.
Back to Dakota, she brings up another point. "I may have been the main reason the fire started, but Miles was also there when we were deciding where to put our shelter. Also, Josee, I know you value challenge strength. Who was the person who carried during the weight challenge? In physical challenges, who always pulls through? Between Miles and I, it certainly wasn't Miles!" Dakota shades.
"It's not like I'm bad at challenges." Miles frowns.
"But we need the best of the best, you aren't that. The rest of us all bring actual strength, you're the clear weak link." Dakota retorts.
The arguing between the girls continues as Shawn whispers to Nichelle. She whispers something back. Josee and Alejandro join the whisper fest. Nichelle and Josee whisper, followed by Shawn and Josee, then Nichelle and Alejandro. Soon enough, the whole squad gets out of their seats and begins whispering.
"Guys, come on!" Miles frowns.
"Just remember, she has deals with all of us!" Dakota yells. Miles shakes her head in Dakota's direction, sad that this duo has fallen apart. After a minute, they all sit down.
Chris is laughing. "That was crazy! Are we ready to vote?"
"No!" Miles rejects. "I want to make another pitch. Dakota is clearly desperate. She was ready to pick all of you off, I willingly joined your alliance and have proved my loyalty time and time again. If it was up to her, the last five of this team would include none of you. Please take this into consideration."
"She proved her loyalty so much that she's actively lying to two of you at minimum." Dakota deadpans. Miles glares at her while Dakota smirks.
"Okay, time to vote."
Voting
"Sorry girl, but I'm not going down without a fight!" Dakota votes for Miles.
"Well played Dakota… now I'm REALLY nervous." Miles grimaces.
We get a quick cut of Shawn, Alejandro, Nichelle, and Josee voting before we cut back to the campfire.
Voting Over
"If anyone has found a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so…"
…
"Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… Miles."
Dakota chuckles.
"2nd vote… Dakota."
Miles takes a deep breath, hoping it's not the only Dakota vote she sees.
"3rd vote…"
…
…
…
…
"Miles."
Miles groans.
"4th vote… Miles. 3 votes Miles, 1 vote Dakota."
Miles gives a disappointed look to her now former allies.
"38th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate… Miles. That's 4 and enough, it's time for you to go."
…
"Well… I shouldn't have ever tried to work with you Dakota, look where that got me." Miles pouts.
"Sorry Miles, we know you hate animal violence, but we had to kill a rat." Shawn says.
"Whatever. I'm kinda salty. I need to leave and do some meditation…"
Miles walks out as Dakota pumps her fist in victory.
…
Miles looks to see Lindsay already meditating. "Might as well join her…" she says bitterly as she heads to the boat.
Confessional: Shawn
"Was that a bit cold to say to her?" Shawn rubs his arm.
Conf end
Confessional: Alejandro
"Making deals with everyone? Not going to work with us, Miles."
Conf end
Confessional: Dakota
"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, I SURVIVED!" Dakota cheers. "Do I feel bad? Like, kinda. Miles really did try I think, but if it was her or me, I'm choosing myself every time."
Conf end
We cut to Chris alone at the campfire. "Well, more chaos here on Total Drama, who doesn't love it? Can Dakota squeak by again? Can Tyler fight his way out of his current situation? Who will go home next time? Only one way to find out! Tune into the next episode of Total Drama Ultimate!"
Probably my least favorite episode of the season so far. The challenge was barely used despite going on for the whole episode, and that's my bad. Every 9 episodes will be lame apparently, a curse is building! Oh well, they can't all be winners, so sorry about that.
Lindsay- Her story arc finished decently in the previous episode, so probably not much of a shocker here. I love Lindsay, so I'm sad I didn't make her go further, but it makes sense, I guess. How will she and Topher interact?
Miles- She was doing pretty well in the game until now! She surprisingly had a consistent amount of stuff to do. From her Scary Girl arc, to joining the FA, to her partnership with Dakota. It ended up blowing up in her face, but she was more strategic than most would think.
