"Previously on Total Disventure All Stars, Raj and Julia snuck away from their teams to meet up with Bowie and MK respectively to have a heart to heart with them. Bowie told Raj about the Villains' Alliance he was in, while MK shared some doubts about Alec to Julia. Unfortunately for Magenta Team, Millie slowed them down so badly during the obstacle course that it ended up costing them the challenge big time. Luckily for her, Julia quickly sprang into action and decided to eliminate Hunter instead. And there goes our lone ranger, so miserably far from the end. Twenty are left, who will be voted out tonight?"
(After theme song)
We then cut to the middle of the night in the woods as Yul and Emily were talking with each other.
"You have some nerve lady, you know that. If I wake up tomorrow with those disgusting eye bags, you will regret it." Yul said furiously.
"You finished?" Emily asked monotone.
"What the hell is it that it couldn't have waited until morning?!" Yul asked incredulously.
"Your manager called me. You left your phone on the plane and he's been trying to reach you for days since you're getting carried away out here. Audience favorability for you has been going DOWN after all that work he put into getting you and Grett together." Emily smirked condescendingly.
"Whoa! How is this my fault?! Have you seen Winnie the Pooh?! Do you have any idea what it's like to have to pretend to like that clingy piggy 24/7?!" Yul cried out in disgust.
"You want to have a career after this, don't you? If your popularity continues to plummet, you can kiss those dance contracts goodbye." Emily reminded him, "Now shut your pathetic mouth up and listen. Your manager offered me a lot of money to fix this, lucky for you."
"UGGGGGGGGH! Fuck my life!" Yul groaned.
We then cut to the morning at Magenta Team's camp when Raj woke up and got out of the tent to see Ally sitting on her lonesome by the fire.
"Hey Ally, you okay?" Raj asked in concern.
"Not really." Ally sighed miserably.
"You wanna go on a walk and talk about it?" Raj asked with a comforting smile.
"Sure, it beats moping around here." Ally shrugged dismissively before she got up so her and Raj could walk off.
"Where are you two going?" Jake asked curiously as he and Millie walked over.
"Me and Ally are going on a walk to get over the whole… elimination thing. Are you guys good with holding down the fort?" Raj asked curiously.
"I guess so." Millie shrugged before Raj and Ally walked off.
Confessional: Millie
"I don't really regret getting Hunter eliminated, I had to save myself somehow but I do feel bad for what it's doing to Ally. I'll probably have to talk to her when I get the chance." Millie said sadly.
Confessional Ends
"So I guess you miss Hunter, right?" Raj guessed as he and Ally continued walking.
"Shockingly… no, and I think that's why I'm so upset. Why don't I miss him as much as I should? This is all just so complicated and I wish I got to talk to him." Ally said miserably, "Honestly, I don't think we could've worked things out while we were still competing. It's like being in the game brings out the worst in our relationship."
"I feel like that everyday." Raj muttered sadly which gained Ally's attention.
"Huh?" Ally raised an eyebrow which made Raj widen his eyes before sighing.
"I was just saying I know how you feel. When Bowie cheated in the challenges on season two of the reboot, I was so upset. The worst part was him lying to me about it even after I asked him to play fair. It just made me feel like he didn't value me as much as he values the game." Raj admitted solemnly.
"But you worked it out… right?" Ally asked nervously.
"Sorta, we talked about it and he made sure to stop cheating but there's always a part of my mind that was glad he got eliminated so the game wouldn't corrupt him anymore. It's why I wasn't mad at Julia and MK for voting him off." Raj explained before he began tearing up, "Now we're back to competing and I feel it's only a matter of time before he does something mean or stupid to ruin his reputation again. I know how much winning is important to him so I don't know how to help him without interfering in his goal."
"Oh Raj…" Ally said sadly before she shared a hug with the hockey player.
We then cut to the Cyan Team's camp where Ellie could be seen using the shower that was transported to their camp, thankfully it was covered up enough to where anyone could only see her face, arms, and legs. Bowie looked annoyed at the fact he had to wait so long.
"If Tipiskaw is suddenly in a drought this year, we know what caused it." Bowie remarked with a roll of his eyes.
"Oh shut up. My girlfriend won us the challenge and she gave me the right to use it first so I'll take as long as I want." Ellie smirked smugly.
"Bravo, your girlfriend is being a major simp. There better still be hot water left though." Bowie scoffed indignantly.
"Well I just finished my shower, and it still is. Now quit whining." Ellie said as she got out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her waist.
We then cut to Grett staring off into space near the beach when Yul walked up to her with a flirtatious smirk and an ear piece on.
"Heyyyyyyyyy honey bunch." Yul said happily.
"Yul, what's going on?" Grett asked solemnly.
"I wanna apologize for how I spoke to you at the previous challenge." Yul apologized though he was looking at his ear piece while saying it.
"Really?" Grett asked in surprise.
"I guess I made some misogynistic comments about your appearance but as an ally to women everywhere, I can assure you it won't happen again." Yul smiled, only looking at the camera instead of Grett.
"You really did hurt me, you know?" Grett said solemnly.
"I know angel, I wish I could take it back." Yul said as he cupped her hand in his hands before she pulled away.
"I can deal with some stupid faceless fans online calling me fat but you're my boyfriend, you're supposed to support me and all you want is for me to change just like everyone else!" Grett yelled, clearly hurt although Yul rolled his eyes, not giving a crap.
"You don't need to change," Emily said through the ear piece, "You're perfect just the way you are."
"You don't need to change, you're perfect just the way you are." Yul repeated back to Grett.
"Wow… really? Do you really mean that? You've never said anything this sweet before." Grett's eyes widened.
"I know babe, but camp has given me some time to reflect. I made a severe lapse in judgment. You are so strong and brave and you shouldn't change for anyone but yourself. I'm lucky to have the most beautiful girlfriend in the world." Yul smiled even though it was strained.
"Wow… between me and you I never thought of myself that way. Thank you darling." Grett said happily.
"Now kiss her." Emily smirked from the camera room in which Yul silently groaned before actually kissing Grett and then pulled away. While Grett clearly enjoyed it, Yul could barely contain his disgust.
We then cut back to the production room as Emily turned away from the scene on the cameras and sighed in relief.
"Finally." Emily smirked in satisfaction.
"Hey Emily." Trevor said happily which caused Emily to jump in fright before composing herself.
"Whatcha doing?" Trevor asked curiously.
"Production related things, now question for you, why is the intern talking to me?" Emily asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Have you seen Derek? He's been gone all day." Trevor asked curiously.
"Oh, he went out to breakfast with Kristal." Emily shrugged.
"Wait… alone?" Trevor asked in shock which made Emily smirk.
"Yeah, those two have been getting along recently. Why? Jealous?" Emily said teasingly.
"N-No, I'm just happy Derek is making new friends." Trevor chuckled nervously.
"Uh huh, sure." Emily said knowingly.
We then cut back to the Cyan Team camp where all seven team members were now eating their breakfast on a stick which was fish for most of them and in Gabby's case, apples.
"So Tom, how have things been on the police force?" Gabby asked curiously.
"Ah. Busy as hell, but I love it. Plus I get all the doughnuts." Tom chuckled good naturedly.
"What a dream, huh? Making a living off of doing what you love." Damien smiled wistfully.
"Tell me about it." Ellie muttered miserably which got Damien's attention and he immediately frowned guiltily when he heard that.
"I gotta thank you again Gabby. You're the reason I got the job after all." Tom reminded the nature lover.
"Just write off my speeding tickets and we'll call it even." Gabby chuckled good naturedly.
"And who's supposed to help out the city if Officer Tom is out here?" Aiden asked with a smirk.
"Hey now. I promised my commissioner if I won, I would donate half the prize to inner city schools in my community." Tom smiled back.
"That's actually really generous, Tom." Ellie spoke up much to everyone's surprise.
"Oh… thank you Ellie." Tom replied, not knowing how to respond to that.
Confessional: Gabby
"Ah, it's good to see Tom and Ellie getting along. I love this happy family." Gabby sighed wistfully.
Confessional: Bowie
"Ellie may be getting along better with the others but I'm confident she knows better than to let emotions rule her game." Bowie smirked knowingly, "If we ever lose a challenge, one of the boys is screwed."
Confessionals End
We then cut to Kristal and Chef standing near a stage with the Yellow and Cyan Teams standing in front of them.
"Welcome back campers. Yellow and Cyan Team, getting your first look at the new Magenta Team. Hunter voted out at the last elimination." Kristal smirks as Magenta Team walks over without Hunter with them.
"I'm sorry Ally." Tess apologized sincerely.
"Oh… I'm fine." Ally nervously gave a thumbs up.
"Alright. How's everyone been? We've been Into The Woods for a few days now. Miss Singing In The Rain, hope the sun comes out tomorrow because this challenge will send you to La La Land." Kristal said happily.
"Kristal having a stroke?" Connor asked in confusion causing Alec and MK to chuckle.
"Hope you guys got your stories on the West Side since it's musical time. That's right, each team has to write a song and perform it on this stage." Chef said happily.
"Wait… right now?!" Aiden said in shock.
"You have until nightfall to prepare. There's a shack behind the stage where we have instruments and props you can use. Me and the other staff will be the judges. It's gonna be fun." Kristal added, "Campers, you have the rest of the day to plan your show. See ya tonight."
We then cut to the Yellow Team planning their song when Grett speaks up.
"So is anyone here musically gifted?" Grett asked curiously.
"Um, your boyfriend's literally a K-Pop star!" Yul said angrily.
"Oh, of course. Yul can lead us." Grett smiled nervously.
"Lead this sad lot… fine!" Yul rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Wow, you sound so thrilled." MK glared at the dancer.
"Well we have a lot of work to do so excuse me!" Yul glared back at the thief.
"Alec, do you think you can write the song?" Riya asked curiously.
"I dabbled in poetry writing. Guess this isn't too different. Care to help me, Connor and Ripper?" Alec answered.
"Why would you need Ripper's help?" MK raised an eyebrow.
"I watched your second season. He at least has some writing experience when it comes to serenading someone." Alec shrugged dismissively.
"Oh yeah. You can count on me." Ripper smirked confidently.
"As the only experienced actor who's been on professional movie sets, I'll be our wardrobe and set designer." Riya smirked haughtily.
"Uh… how does acting qualify you to handle equipment?" Connor asked curiously causing Riya to purse her lips and turn away with a huff.
Meanwhile with the Magenta Team, Fiore was immediately complaining to her team about the challenge.
"I refuse to sing! This wasn't in our contracts!" Fiore cried out furiously.
"Well they'll probably penalize us if we don't sing backup so just suck it up and at least sing a little." Julia rolled her eyes before smirking, "Thankfully for the rest of you, I have the voice of an angel."
"Did MK tell you that?" Millie smirked jokingly which caused Julia to glare at the nerd.
"Yes, actually." Julia said through gritted teeth before speaking normally, "You good to sing with me Jake and Ally?"
"Why us?" Jake asked curiously.
"Because Millie flopped the last challenge and I don't trust Raj to not suddenly forget the lyrics." Julia said bluntly.
"Heyyyyyyyyy." Raj whined before putting a finger to his chin, "Actually that's fair."
Millie just looked downcast.
Confessional: Millie
"Even if I'm in the majority alliance, it's clear Julia and Fiore won't be as merciful as they were yesterday if I cost us a challenge again. So I better start doing better in challenges or I'll end up having to leave both Jake and Damien to fend for themselves and no offense to them, but they might need my support." Millie said nervously.
Confessional Ends
We then cut to the Cyan Team discussing their song when Gabby began celebrating.
"Oh boy oh boy oh boy. This challenge is a dream come true." Gabby cheered excitedly.
"I know right. I was a big musical theater kid in high school." Aiden informed the group happily.
"Oh. How come we never knew this about you?" Tess asked happily.
"Probably because we only talked twice last season." Aiden chuckled.
"Are you still pursuing acting?" Ellie raised an eyebrow.
"Before the show I was but after, I had a hard time getting auditions. Most schools usually steer clear of reality tv contestants." Aiden admitted sheepishly.
"Can I write the song? Please please please!" Gabby asked desperately before looking at her hands maniacally, "I have such pain and anguish in my soul to express music."
Everyone immediately shared an unnerved gaze except for Ellie who smirked.
"Sure thing Gabs." Ellie smirked playfully.
"Yay!" Gabby clapped her hands cheerfully.
Confessional: Damien
"Gabby's great and all but sometimes she reminds me of Scary Girl." Damien admitted with a nervous smile before scratching the back of his head in contemplation, "Then again, that might be an overstatement."
Confessional Ends
We then cut back to Ally, Jake, and Julia thinking things up for the song when Ally spoke up.
"You got me so…" Ally trailed off before Jake spoke up.
"Delirious?" Jake suggested.
"Ooh. Good word. Thanks. How's your verse going?" Ally asked happily.
"Honestly, I keep thinking of Tom when writing these lyrics. Isn't that weird?" Jake asked solemnly.
"Not at all. When I'm writing this song, I think of Hunter too." Ally reassured him.
"We're a bunch of lovesick romantics, huh?" Jake chuckled good naturedly.
"Yes. Blah blah blah, you both suck at love. Now use that motivation and write some more lyrics." Julia rolled her eyes before continuing to write on her notepad and soon, she sighed solemnly.
Confessional: Julia
"Honestly… this song kinda reminds me of MK in a way. She constantly screws me over at times but I can't help but feel great when I'm around her but I doubt it means anything… does it?" Julia said nervously.
Confessional Ends
We then cut to Alec talking with Ripper and Connor about what to write but Connor looked downtrodden.
"I'm thinking of something classical. Maybe something inspired by Beethoven's old work. What do you two think?" Alec asked curiously.
"Do you think Riya was mad at me?" Connor asked in concern.
"Uh… I don't know man. Can we stay focused?" Alec said awkwardly.
"Of course she was mad at you, though I wouldn't blame you for that. She's just naturally bitchy." Ripper answered whilst attempting to reassure the man.
"She's gotten so much worse since we separated. Maybe we could write a song about her and I can sing it and show her how I feel. I just know if I can sing my heart well enough… I can reach her." Connor said hopefully.
"I don't think that's the best idea." Alec admitted reluctantly.
"Why?" Connor asked curiously.
"You both agreed to split up after all." Ripper explained.
"I know but I just can't stop thinking about her." Connor said solemnly.
"Just relax. The initial split up hurts but you'll grow numb to it over time." Alec said to try and comfort him.
"But what if this is different? Your wife and Riya aren't the same person." Connor reminded the book lover.
"EX-wife. And it doesn't matter. She's chosen her path. Now are you going to help me with this song or not?" Alec asked harshly.
"You're right. I'm sorry." Connor sighed miserably.
"Hey. How about we do something more upbeat? You an old rock fan?" Alec asked happily, causing Connor to smirk and Ripper to raise an eyebrow.
Confessional: Alec
"Connor's not doing too well. I will admit I did mostly approach him for an alliance but in all honesty, his relationship woes with Riya did concern me. I've really grown to appreciate the old geezer." Alec smiled warmly.
Confessional: Ripper
"This is NOT good. Connor's clearly got more connections with Alec, Riya, and MK than I can ever hope for! If we lose, I'm going home! I really need to find a way to make that Villains' Alliance crumble, but how…" Ripper cried out dramatically as he held up his notepad and pencil before realizing the utensils he held in his hands and smirked deviously, "Okay. I've got two plans. If my first one fails, there's always Plan B."
Confessional Ends
We then see Tess, Gabby, Ellie, and Bowie return to Tom, Aiden, and Damien after songwriting as Gabby cheers.
"Ta-da! I present my masterpiece!" Gabby said excitedly.
"Yes!" Damien cheers.
"What's it about?" Tom asked curiously.
"It's a love song. Gabby and Ellie even choreographed their part." Bowie smirked teasingly at Ellie who blushed with a smile.
"We wanted to have two couples synchronize onstage. This will allow for some killer harmonies and since Bowie declined to dance with either of you, and we're not sure about how comfortable Damien would be about this, we figured Gabby and Ellie would be one couple and you and Aiden would be the other." Tess explained happily.
"And at the end, the couples will share a long passionate kiss to finish the song. Quite romantic, don't you think?" Bowie added with a smirk.
"Awwwwwww." Aiden gushed before his eyes widened, "Wait WHAT?! Kiss?! I don't know if I can do that! I have a boyfriend!"
"Yeah, and I have a… uh… you heard Aiden. Man's got a man." Tom crossed his arms angrily.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Bowie laughed hysterically, "Oh my god, the looks on your faces! Don't worry. You two don't actually have to kiss. I'm sure Gabby and Ellie will be all the fanservice we need."
"Uh… thanks." Ellie raised an eyebrow in Bowie's direction before adding, "But yeah, all we really need for you two to do is act super romantic. No need to kiss. Just do some cuddling and that's it."
"Oh thank god." Aiden sighed in relief while Damien raised an eyebrow of suspicion towards Bowie.
Confessional: Tom
"Uggggggggh. I haven't gotten a chance to talk things out with Jake yet. I'm worried that this could cause even more problems. You know how jealous he can get." Tom said nervously.
Confessional: Bowie
"I suggested the idea of the two couples, but the reasoning for Tom and Aiden I just made up. This might be considered evil but I can't pass up an opportunity to cause chaos on the Magenta Team with how easily Jake can be riled up and all and if this also makes Tom and Aiden bigger targets… so be it." Bowie smirked sadistically.
Confessional Ends
We then cut to MK on a drum set testing out the drumsticks and the drums when Ripper walked over.
"Salutations old friend." Ripper said snootily which made MK raise an eyebrow in confusion.
"Uh… what?" MK asked incredulously before Ripper chuckled nervously.
"Sorry, I thought talking formally would help but I'm gonna just get to the point, I'm very aware that if we lose a challenge, I'm the one going home." Ripper admitted sternly.
"Wow. You actually managed to figure that out all by yourself. Impressive." MK said sarcastically.
"I'm not stupid MK. I know you and Connor have some sort of bond going on." Ripper crossed his arms sternly.
"Okay, so what? It's not like it matters. We practically outnumber you five to two anyway." MK rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"After all I did for you and Julia in season two, you're seriously going to just toss me aside just like that?" Ripper asked incredulously, causing MK to glare back.
"You helped us cheat in ONE challenge dude and in the end, you supported WAYNE over us in the finale. Look Ripper, it's nothing personal or anything but I really need this alliance to make it far." MK crossed her arms angrily.
"You really think those guys will stay loyal to you forever? Yul's a beta male and hates everyone, Grett is his lovestruck pawn, Riya betrayed her number one ally, and Alec has betrayed Ellie more times than I can count." Ripper reminded her, causing MK to look away awkwardly as he spoke.
"So what do you suggest I do because even if I vote with you, the villains still outnumber you." MK scoffed.
"Gee, I don't know, maybe we could get Connor to convince Riya to vote for Yul? It's not like anyone will miss him and from what I've seen, we'd be doing Grett a favor." Ripper suggested rudely.
"You think Riya would really go along with that?" MK asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Have you seen how much those two hate each other? I'm definitely sure." Ripper smirked back.
We then cut to nighttime as Kristal then gets up onstage and begins speaking.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Deers, frogs, and insects alike. Welcome to Disventure Camp's first ever musical!" Kristal said happily.
"Woo! Yeah! Let's go! Trevor wants to see some grooves!" Trevor cheered as Derek and Chef sat nearby looking weirded out by Derek's enthusiasm.
"Where is the audience? Did you turn them into animals?" Gabby asked curiously from backstage causing Damien to snicker into his palm, only stopping due to Ellie's glare.
"What better audience than the delightful fauna of Tipiskaw? Consider it a welcome home present for them." Kristal asked happily.
"Where did you get the license for this?" Chef asked curiously.
"Oh my god, that's amazing. You've got to teach me your ways Kristal." Derek praised excitedly.
"Mayyyyyyyybe. If you behave." Kristal smirked teasingly which made Trevor cross his arms in annoyance which Chef noticed.
"First, we have Cyan Team with Piggyback!" Kristal introduced.
(Song begins)
We begin the song with Tom and Aiden in a white suit and tie at a picnic table on the left with Ellie and Gabby in blue dresses at a picnic table on the right with the two couples smiling and looking into each others' eyes, the girls being more genuine than the boys while Tess, Bowie, and Damien were playing guitars.
"Sometimes life goes easy. Sometimes life goes do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do." Tom and Aiden sang.
"Sometimes life goes crazy. Sometimes life goes do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do." Ellie and Gabby harmonized.
"Piggy-piggyback. Won't you take me piggyback. Won't you Piggy-piggyback. Won't you take me piggyback. Won't you Piggy-piggyback. Won't you take me piggyback. Won't you Piggy-piggyback. Won't you take me piggyback. Won't you Piggy-piggyback. Won't you take me piggyback." Tom and Aiden chorused together as Jake watched suspiciously from backstage.
"Cause all I want is youuuuuuuu." Gabby sang as she held Ellie's hands.
"All I want is you." Ellie caressed Gabby's cheek.
"Don't I hope it's true." Tom smiled at Aiden.
"I hope it's true." Aiden smiled back.
"And I'll be feeling bluuuuuuuuue." Tom harmonized.
"Won't you Piggy-piggyback. Won't you Piggy me back won't you?" Tess added happily as the two couples danced.
"Sometimes life goes crazy, sometimes life goes do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do." Bowie and Damien sang backup as the four leads danced.
"You tell me, tell me, tell me something." Tom said as he began dipping Aiden into a tango position.
"But show me, show me, show me something else." Ellie and Gabby sang along.
"Piggy-piggyback won't you Piggy me back. Piggy-piggy back won't you Piggy me back, won't youuuuuuuuuuu?" Tom, Aiden, Ellie, and Gabby all finished singing with Aiden leaning into Tom's embrace while Ellie and Gabby immediately began kissing.
(Song Ends)
Jake's eyes immediately widened at the sight of Tom and Aiden's intimacy while Millie and Raj looked concerned from backstage.
"Ooh! Spicy!" Kristal smirked, "Judges, tabulate your scores but keep them to yourselves. Team Magenta, you're next."
"Confessional: Aiden
"I felt weird about being like that with Tom but I know James will be chill. Anyone can see it was just for the challenge." Aiden smiled contentedly.
Confessional: Jake
"I knew I was right about them." Jake said worriedly.
Confessionals End
"Did you see those two out there?!" Jake asked incredulously.
"Don't worry too much about it Jake. You just need to talk to Tom about it." Millie replied uneasily.
"All I've been doing is trying to talk with him later but he clearly is trying to avoid me. Oh, but he's cool cuddling with Aiden in front of me. They just met ten days ago! What is his deal?!" Jake said angrily.
"I know this might be a bad time but this is the perfect time to use your anger. It'll help with your song." Millie said encouragingly, "Don't let Tom bring you down!"
However, Raj was currently lost in thought and looking nervous.
Confessional: Raj
"Okay, I did some thinking on why Cyan Team would choreograph their song like that and I came to the conclusion that Ellie totally set Tom and Aiden to look like a couple in front of Jake to throw him off. It makes sense after all, she's the only villain on that team if you don't count Bowie… which I DON'T." Raj explained defensively, "Yeah. It's Ellie. Definitely Ellie. Me and Bowie are gonna have a long talk about trusting her."
Confessional Ends
"And now the Magenta Team is performing an original Born To Drive Me Crazy." Kristal smirked.
(Song begins)
We then begin the song with Raj rocking out on his guitar, Millie playing the drums, and Fiore playing on the keyboard.
"So let me tell you all the things I really hate about you!" Ally sang happily.
"You call me when you need me then you drop me like yesterday's news." Jake added angrily as Ally danced a little to the beat while Tom and Aiden looked at each other nervously seeing Jake glare at them.
"You take me on a date but it's another lame pool party." Ally sang with a dismissive tone, "But when you get me home you get so drunk you just fall asleep."
"You got me so delirious but I just can't seem to get enough!" Julia sang dramatically as she snuck a look at MK backstage much to her shock while Ripper just smirked knowingly at the ravenette, "My friends say I should give you up, but nothing's simple when it comes to us!"
"Cause you're born to drive me crazy and we both know, I'm gonna try to love you or let go!" Raj sang with a heartful tone.
"Born to drive me crazy and I can't see!" Fiore and Millie chorused.
"Trying my best to love you's worth losing my sanity." Jake exclaimed.
"My sanity! Oh yeaaaaaaaah!" Ally chorused.
"My sanityyyyyyyyyyy! Oh. Oh." Julia smiled tearfully.
(Song Ends)
"Woohoo! Good job guys! Bravo!" Gabby cheered.
"Is it just me or was Jake shooting daggers at us?" Aiden asked Tom curiously who was sweating nervously. Damien immediately turned to Bowie with a raised eyebrow but Bowie just shrugged dismissively.
Confessional: Bowie
"Okayyyyyyyyy, so Jake didn't flop like I hoped he would." Bowie grunted in frustration before smiling, "But at the end of the day, he's bound to get himself eliminated sooner or later. It's clear he's already upset with Tom and Aiden and that can work in mine and Ellie's favor."
Confessional: Damien
"I was unsure about Tom and Aiden being a couple for the song but given Jake's reaction to the whole thing I'm starting to question what Bowie's up to." Damien admitted nervously.
Confessionals End
"What a heartwarming performance from Magenta, I can't help but think that song was targeted at certain people." Kristal chuckled.
We then see Riya putting up a bunch of lights onstage while MK was rambling to Connor.
"She looked at me while she was singing. I can't believe it. Does that mean she feels the same way? Do I genuinely cause her distress? I-I don't know how to handle this." MK whispered nervously.
"Why not just ask her?" Connor asked curiously.
"Julia's not a 'feelings' person. I'm worried it might be too soon to do that." MK admitted solemnly but before they could continue talking, Riya had finished setting up the lights.
"Fantastic work Riya." Alec praised.
"This is… quite a lot of lights. It's not gonna overload is it? I don't want the light to catch my bad side." Grett said nervously.
"She's got a point. I don't exactly trust the circuit box connections to be stable in this show." MK admitted.
"Ugh. You people are impossible to please. Who's the nominated actress here? I know what I'm doing." Riya rolled her eyes.
We then cut to Kristal onstage speaking up, "Last performance of the night. Yellow Team presenting, No Matter How Hard We Try."
(Song begins)
The song begins with Connor using the drums before Grett slides onstage.
"Hear the engine roar. I'm outta the door. Live the high life I've been waiting for! Oh! Oh! Ohhhhhhhhhhh!" Grett harmonized.
"Got no home and got no name. Changing my view again and again. Oh! Oh! Ohhhhhhhhh!" Alec choruses as he plays the piano.
"Living the moment till I die!" Connor boomed.
"And I'm going to chase it! And I'm going to chase it!" Ripper and MK sang as they played their guitars.
"I know we can't ignore it." Grett added.
"No Matter How Hard We Try!" Ripper and MK sang alongside Riya and Yul.
"And I'm going to chase it! And I'm going to chase it! I know we can't ignore it, no matter how hard we try!" They all sang together but soon Grett caught sight of the lights above her swaying and looked on nervously.
"Fire in my veins! I fight to gain! Breaking the rules just to keep me sane! Oh! Oh! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!" Riya sang excitedly.
"Yeah, I believe I've cracked the code, enjoying every second and it never gets old! Oh! Oh! Oh Oh Oh!" Yul sang happily.
"Liven' the moment till I die." Connor sang nervously as he looked at the lights.
"And I'm going to chase it! And I'm going to chase it! I know we can't ignore it! No Matter How Hard We Try!" The team chorused but by this point: Alec, MK, and Ripper had all noticed the lights flickering.
"No Matter How Hard We Try…" Alec gulped before the lights began exploding.
(Song Ends)
Riya began screaming after the mini-explosion while everyone else began ducking in horror.
"What the hell was that?!" Yul asked incredulously.
"The lights!" Connor gasped.
"The curtain's on fire!" Grett panicked as they turned to see the curtains set ablaze.
Suddenly a stage light dropped from the ceiling onto Yul's foot causing him to scream in pain as he held his foot up.
"My foot! I need that!" Yul cried out in pain.
"Everyone! Off the stage!" Connor commanded before everyone on the Yellow Team immediately ran offstage and we soon cut to Kristal, Chef, Derek, and Trevor glaring at them as the stage was now burnt to a crisp.
"Do you know how much those damn instruments cost?!" Chef asked furiously.
"Oh no…" Riya gulped.
"Yeah, I don't think we need to vote for a losing team after that." Chef crossed his arms.
"I agree. Magenta and Cyan Team, you're both safe. No reward but at least no one's going home tonight on your teams." Kristal agreed angrily.
It took a moment but both teams immediately began cheering.
"Enjoy the night off. Yellow Team, you've got one hour to figure out who you're sending home." Kristal seethed.
Confessional: Riya
"Okay, maybe I overestimated my abilities a little but I'll be fine. I have the Villains' Alliance plus Connor will do whatever I say. I'm in the power position." Riya smirked.
Confessional Ends
We then cut to Riya sitting on a rock by herself when Connor then walked up to her nervously.
"Hey Riya… can we talk?" Connor asked warily.
"What is it Connor?" Riya replied rudely.
"Look, I'm just gonna be blunt. Ripper just talked to me and we both think it'd be a good idea to vote off Yul tonight. Ripper is already trying to get MK's vote on our side so we can easily blindside him." Connor explained.
"Why would I do that? As much as I hate him, he's in my alliance." Riya rolled her eyes in frustration.
"Riya, we both know that if Ripper goes home tonight that I'll be the next one gone and you promised me that you'd keep the villains from targeting me, so please just do me this one favor." Connor pleaded desperately.
"Ugh, fine. Just leave me alone." Riya grunted which caused Connor to look away solemnly.
"Okay." Connor sighed before walking off, but as soon as he left, Riya looked away in guilt.
We then see Connor walk over to Ripper who looks at him in concern.
"So how did it go…" Ripper asked in concern.
"She said yes… but she's really upset with me now. Everything I do seems to infuriate her." Connor explained sadly.
"It's like me and Alec were saying, you two go together like peanut butter and mustard. It may taste good at first but then you're in for a world of pain once you digest it." Ripper explained which made Connor raise an eyebrow in disgust.
"That sounded a lot better in my head… the point is, you two are toxic as a couple." Ripper elaborated before taking two pieces of folded paper out of his pocket, "Here. This is just in case I go home tonight."
"What's it for?" Connor asked curiously.
"Oh, just a little something to give to Cyan and Magenta in case I leave. Just keep it a secret, 'Kay." Ripper winked, causing Connor to chuckle lightheartedly.
We then cut to the elimination ceremony as Kristal smirks at the Yellow Team.
"Welcome back to the elimination ceremony. You know how this goes, one more All Star meets their end." Kristal says excitedly.
"Riya, you burnt down the entire stage. Our insurance won't be able to cover all of that." Chef said angrily before looking around nervously, "Yeah… that's all I really got from today's challenge."
"WHAT?! Are you serious?!" Riya cried out furiously.
"Don't look at me. No one else screwed up today." Chef shrugged, "Just go vote already."
Voting: Ripper
"I hope tonight ends with you crying on international TV when you realize your own alliance doesn't even like you." Ripper laughs as he holds up his Yul vote.
Voting: Alec
"Ripper. I only have the mental strength to deal with one idiotic manchild. Yul's just lucky he's dating Grett." Alec admitted with a scoff.
Voting: MK
MK writes down her vote, folds it up and nervously puts it in the urn.
Voting Ends
"Once the votes are read. The decision is final." Kristal said happily, "The person with the most votes must leave immediately."
"First vote: Ripper."
Ripper gives a blank stare.
"Yul."
Yul raises an eyebrow at this while Ripper smirks.
"Ripper."
Ripper rolls his eyes.
"Yul."
"Ripper."
Ripper clenches his first nervously.
"Sixth person voted off of Total Disventure All Stars is… Ripper." Kristal flips the last ballot around and shows Ripper's name on it, "That's four votes. That's enough."
"Ugh, fart nuggets." Ripper sighed solemnly.
"It's not personal, you just got unlucky." MK admitted with a shrug.
"Riya, why did you lie to me?!" Connor asked incredulously as he turned towards Riya.
"Are you really going to do this here?! It's not like me and Ripper were close or anything." Riya rolled her eyes dismissively which caused Connor to glare at her before walking off which made Alec and MK share a concerned glance.
Sendoff Confessional: Ripper
"At first I was ready to dominate this season after two early merge eliminations but now I'm demoted to a pre-merger?! How did I stoop so low?!" Ripper cried out in confusion.
Confessional Ends
Ripper then walked down to the bus stop with a stern stare in his eyes but as soon as he spotted the camera, he shot a smirk and a finger gun to the audience before the bus picked him up.
Author's Note: Yeah, I'm pretty sure all of you saw this coming. Ripper was doomed to fail once I put him on the Yellow Team but I wanted to have him leave fighting at the very least but don't fret Ripper fans(if there are any), even though he's gone, he's about to leave quite an impact. The next challenge will definitely be an original one next time but until then, see you soon.
