A/N: Welcome to New York, and in typical Total Drama fashion we have another controversial elimination…
The recap begins by showing the icy tundra. "The Yukon." The long river of ice floes is shown. "Canada's frozen gem." We see Gwen jump onto an ice floe, then Eva and Jo jumping across several with ease. "Here our competitors discover the thrill of Ice floe jumping." Eva is shown pulling Conquest's sled past Amy and Jo "The chill of dog sledding." Ella is shown closing her eyes to rest as Xena leans her against the nearby pole getting her stuck."And the skill of sabotaging the other team without getting caught."
Ella is shown saying good-bye to Dawn and Amy. "In the end, Ella was eliminated, but note before a heartfelt goodbye from her friend and girlfriend. "The Yukon! Live the adventure!"
The recap ends in the cockpit. "On Total! Drama! Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!"
A stage light pops up in front of the CN tower, we switch to the interior of the plane as another light pops out of the ceiling, outside the plane a camera pops out of the engine startling a raccoon, we see a suitcase pop open and a clap board is used. The camera moves through first class passing a drink cart on the way and causing Chris to jump out of the aisle.
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;
(Chef is in the cockpit, the cook gives the camera glare as it passes through. The camera moves past several bagages trucks.)
You guys are on my mind!
(The camera moves past the CN tower and dives into the water.)
Ya asked me what I wanted to be,
(Lightning is swimming in the water when he spots a shark and begins to fight with it.)
And now I think the answer is plain to see!
(Harold stands on top of the straw roof of a hut on a woven boat. An oar flies threw the air to hit him.)
I wanna be...famous!
(Amber and Topher are fighting on the boat, and it is clear one of them accidently hit Harold in the tussle. Crocodiles leap from the water snapping their jaws. The boat moves off screen and we see a crocodile wince on the word be. The camera moves back to the boat revealing it had run into an inflatable raft where Alejandro is standing. Amber panics and tries to help while Topher just laughs."
I wanna live close to the sun!
(The camera moves to the statue of liberty, we cut to the top where Brick is offering Jo a helping hand, only for her to grab it and body slam him instead.)
Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!
(Tyler runs past the two, pushing a baby carriage holding Noah. Max is nearby and the jock trips over her, sending Noah flying out of the carriage and into a sign.)
Everythin' to prove,
(Noah lands in Eva's arms as she stands on a tundra. He gives her a grateful smile.)
Nothin' in my way;
I'll get there one day.
(We pan right where Amy rolls her eyes. A polar bear taps on her shoulder and she looks horrified, but then Dawn and Ella calm the bear and Amy smiles.)
'Cause I wanna be...famous!
(We zoom in past ice caps to see Duncan and Gwen surfing a giant wave. It seems to be too much as they are swept up in the surf.)
Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa
(Xena and Anne Maria are walking across a New York City crosswalk. They are startled as the jet passes them, sending leaves through the air. We switch to a scene of the contestants in a human pyramid atop the jet, wearing parachutes and kicking in beat. The bottom row contains Jo, Anne Maria, Harold, Max, Xena, and Brick. The first row up contains Topher, Amber Alejandro, Eva, and Noah, the next row up contains Duncan, Gwen, Amy, and Tyler, on top of the pyramid is Lightning holding Ella and Dawn on one of his shoulders each.)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(The plane passes big ben,causing the clock face to pop out. It passes the arc de Triomphe causing a mime to drop his croissant. It flies past a rock balancing on.a stone pillar, knocking it off and causing it to fall in front of the camera kicking up dust)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(The dust clears to show, Ella and Dawn smiling at one another, It pans to show Eva glaring, then down to Jo.)
(The lyrics end and we see Chef Hatchet glare. He turns the plane, sending all the contestants falling through the air in parachutes. Everyone but Max lands in front of a sign with the show's name on it. As the song ends Max lands face first in the middle of the group)
Intro end
The episode proper begins in first class per usual. Jo is sitting in one of the chairs eating what seems to be a protein bowl. Next to her is Dawn eating a salad. Across from them is Anne Maria and Topher. The latter is getting a massage from a male intern much to the former's jealousy. "Quit hogging the masseuse!"
"Sure, sure. In a minute." Topher sighed happily.
Anne Maria huffed and noticed Dawn was looking above her head with concern. "What?"
"I'd move if I were you." The moonchild said.
A scoff can be heard off screen, the focus shifts to show its Amy sitting on the couch. "And I wouldn't count on Dawn's voodoo. If she could actually predict things, she would have left Ella alone in the Yukon!"
"I said I was sorry." Dawn frowned.
"Sorry doesn't bring Ella back." Amy huffed.
At that moment, the ceiling above Anne Maria fell, landing on her head with a thud. Despite this the jersey reject seemed fine. Everyone stared with wide eyes.
(confessional)
Max: (Is wide eyed.) How'd she get a force field around her hair?!
Static
"How much hairspray do you use?" Jo asked.
Topher glanced over to the fridge area of first class where Amber has finished gathering various snacks. He smirked. "Hey Anne Maria, the masseuse is all yours." He stood up and joined Amber taking some of the snacks from her.
The bookworm raised an eyebrow. "What do you want?"
"Can't I help bring snacks back to economy too?" Topher smirked.
Amber huffed. "Whatever."
(Confessional)
Amber: Topher being nice? He's up to something. Or he's started crushing on my boyfriend again. Either way I don't like it.
Static
/
Meanwhile in economy class. Things were bleak for the two teams. On the left bench sat Team Chris. On the right Team Conquest. The exception being Duncan who was sitting with Gwen. The focus is on Brick, Xena and Harold. The cadet sighed. "I just can't believe I didn't notice Ella was in need of help."
"Why would we help her? She is not on our team." Xena pointed out.
"That's not the point. I've vowed to never leave a person behind, and I failed at that." Brick said.
Harold was looking at Xena curiously. "I'm surprised you didn't see Ella."
"I did, but she's not on my team." The blonde replied.
(Confessional)
Harold: I can't believe she just admitted that so matter of factly! I mean, I know it's a competition, but leaving someone stuck to a pole like that doesn't sit right with me.
Static
Before Harold could retort, a scoff was heard from Team Conquest's bench. "Lightning agrees with her! You don't help the enemy team! That makes you a traitor." The football jock said.
"If being a decent person is treacherous. Then I will be branded a traitor! Better that than to lose my honor!" Harold declared.
Amber and Topher entered economy at that moment. The blonde flashed his most hostly smile. "Hello! Amber and I decided to bring you back some things. I'm generous, I know."
Brick smiled. "Well that's nice of you."
"Smells like a rat." Duncan said from his spot next to Gwen. "But I'm not gonna say no."
"Yeah, even if he laced it with something bad, it's worth it to eat something other than chef's crappy food." Gwen said.
"I think you're too suspicious." Brick said. Beside him Topher smirked.
The focus shifted to Amber and she handed Alejandro a sandwich. "One hundred percent whole wheat, Romaine lettuce, tomato, and a smattering of horseradish."
Alejandro smiled. "You remembered my preferences?"
"Of course. I know how weak your stomach is." Amber smiled. She handed him a few candy bars. "You can give these to whoever."
Alejandro turned to Eva. "Would you like one?"
Eva smiled awkwardly. "Yeah."
Noah got one as well. He's still bundled up in his blanket. Amber smiled at him. "I'm really glad Alejandro didn't hesitate to take the proper measures to help you."
Alejandro smirked at Lightning. "See? I told you she'd understand."
Lightning scoffed. "Sha please, she's probably mad on the inside."
Amber rolled her eyes. "I'm really not."
/
We briefly see a map showing the jet flying towards an approximation of the U.S. Then we see the contestants, Chris on a raft in the cargo hold. Chris is the only one wearing a life jacket. "Take a seat, grab a handle, and I'll tell you where we're going." Chris announced. Everyone sat down as requested.
"Nice ride Chris." Topher smiled.
"Suck up." Amy scoffed.
"Why are you wearing a life jacket?" Noah asked.
"Hey there's thirteen of them and only one valuable me." He smirked. "Hit it chef!"
Chef is shown in the cockpit. He pulled a switch from above. Back in the cargo hold the floor drops out from under the boat. Everyone screamed as they hit the water a short way below.
Chris drove the boat to the dock. "Welcome to New York City!" He said as the statue of Liberty was shown.
(confessional)
Anne Maria: New York city! The home of broadway, fashion, and stores on every street!
Static
We see the contestants standing in front of Chris at the bottom of the statue. "Your first challenge is a carriage race to Central Park which I like to call 'Liberty or death!' Chris explained.
"Ella would have loved to ride in a horse drawn carriage." Amy said. She glared at Dawn. "Too bad she's not here."
The moonchild looked guilty.
"Slow down conclusion jumpers. It's a baby carriage race." Chris explained.
"Then where are the carriages?" Jo asked.
"Yeah." Chris said as we are shown the locations of the three carriages. Each is on a spike at Lady Liberty's crown. "Hope you brought your climbing gloves."
"Well that's just great." Amy huffed.
"Are you gonna complain all challenge?" Amber huffed.
"Oh I'm sorry, when your only friend gets voted out, we'll see how you feel!" The twin snapped.
"I thought Dawn was your friend?" Topher smirked.
"Was being the key word." Amy said. The focus shifted to Xena watching intently.
"Alright! Less chatter, more splatter! Er, Climbing, We'll leave the splatter to fate." Chris smirked. We are shown the crown on the statue again this time with an emphasis on the ropes tied to the spikes. "Anywho, one you reach Lady Liberty's crown, pull up your rop to bring your team up faster." We are shown the carriages on the spikes again. "Once everybody's off, your team grabs the correct carriage off of the spike. Races back down to your boat and follows the buoy's to central park."
"When do we go to Broadway?" Anne Maria asked.
"We're aren't." Chris replied.
"Wow. We go to the musical capital of the world in the middle of a musical season, and we're not even going to Broadway? Way to be on theme Chris." Noah scoffed.
/
At a slightly higher point on the statue. The teams stood to the left of a mat in that team's color. The ropes can be seen leading up. Chris blew a whistle and Alejandro began climbing immediately. Eva followed quickly with Lightning just behind her.
Topher moved to climb up the rope. The moment his hand touched it he winced. "Chris what are these ropes made of?!"
"Steel wool. Strong and rough just like the big apple." Chris explained.
Topher looked about to complain but Jo shoved him out of the way. "Come on! We don't have time for this!"
Brick was already climbing up the rope, followed by Tyler and Gwen. Xena turned to Harold. "Would you rather go first?"
"I'd rather climb up behind you." Harold said.
"Very well then." Xena began to climb the rope, Harold followed.
/
We see Chris at the crown of Lady Liberty. "It's been 25 blister busting minutes and NOTHING. You guys are bumming me out!" Chris yelled down.
Xena swung over to stop near Amy. "You appear to be in emotional duress."
"No really genius?" Amy huffed.
"I do have to wonder why you're focused on Dawn however. After all, is it not Ella's team who voted her out?" The overlogical girl said
"Well sure, but Dawn's the reason they had a chance." The twin said.
"Indeed, but I think you have the skills to multi-task. Perhaps you should try to get even with all of them?" Xena suggested, before swinging back over.
Amy smirked. "She has a point."
/
At the top of the statue Chris continues to complain. "Hurry it up people! I'm officially bored!"
Alejandro finally reached the top. "You are pure evil." He told him.
/
Tyler, Noah, and Amber are all at around the same height. Right next to the statue's chest. Tyler smirked. "Look at those!"
Noah rolled his eyes. "They're not even real."
"Why does the Statue of liberty have cleavage anyway?" Amber questioned. "Like you're already making a giant copper statue, why make it harder by adding that?"
"Beats me." Noah shrugged.
As they continued up Tyler looked at the chest again. He began to slip. "Oh no!" He closed his eyes and we see him about to fall, but he's stopped by a strong hand. "Huh? Brick!"
"Steady on solider. Keep a firm grip and a sense of determination!" Brick said.
(Cockpit confessional)
Tyler: I'm not even sure why Brick makes me feel so…
Chef: Flustered?
Tyler: Yes? No? I don't know?!
Static
Back at the top of the statue Chris is still complaining as the teams try to pull their last members up. "Ugh! Let's go! I'm tired, I'm hungry, and I gotta pee."
Team Chris managed to pull up their last member Xena. Brick turned to his team. "I'll get the carriage." He said.
Meanwhile Amy is not bothering to help her own team get Topher the rest of the way up. Instead she stormed over to Team Conquest who had everyone but Noah up there. "I just want you to know, you're gonna pay for getting rid of Ella!"
"Sha please girl! You think you can do anything to the Lightning?" The football jock scoffed.
Amy smirked and kicked him in the shins causing him to drop his grip on the rope. Luckily for Team Conquest Noah was so light it didn't matter much.
"Shouldn't you be helping your own team?" Alejandro pointed out.
"It's called priorities." The twin smirked.
"Tweedle Dee! You get over here!" Jo snapped. Amy rolled her eyes.
"This isn't over." The blonde warned team Conquest before joining her own team.
The focus shifted to Xena who was watching Amy's actions. Then it shifted to Harold who's eyes narrowed.
(confessional)
Harold: Did you see how focused on Amy Xena's been? And I saw her talking with her earlier. I wonder if she has something to do with this?
Static
Brick returns with Team Chris' carriage. "Nothing compared to my army training!"
"Team Chris takes the lead." Chris announced.
"How do we get down?" Tyler asked.
Chris gestured to a pole to his right. "Fireman's pole anyone? It's only a 30 story drop."
Team Chris examines the hole. "I would prefer you go first." Xena said.
"This should be simple." Brick said. "No fear soldiers!" With that he slid down the pole, Tyler followed, then Gwen, Harold, and Xena.
Team Conquest finished pulling up Noah. Alejandro smirked. "I will get the carriage."
Before Lightning could protest, Alejandro had already balance beamed himself over and back. "Andele!"
Lightning slides down first, followed by Eva, Duncan, Noah, and finally Alejandro himself.
Team Valkyrie is still pulling Topher up the statue. We see the blonde has completely given up on climbing. Back up top Jo complained. "Come on Slowpher, we're behind because of you!"
/
At the base of the tower Team Chris runs out with Brick pushing the carriage. "There's the boats!" Tyler exclaimed. The focus shifted to show three motor boats docked. One in each team's color. They continued to run until they were all in the purple boat. Rhys started the engine and they were off.
Back up top Topher has finally been pulled up. "I'm getting the carriage." Jo said, her voice leaving more room for argument. She easily got the carriage and slid down the pole, followed by Amy, Dawn, Amber, Anne Maria, and finally Topher.
We see Team Conquest get in their boat and drive off. This is followed by Team Valkyrie doing the same. The teams begin to follow the buoy's.
The focus shifted to Team Chris in their boat. Tyler beamed. "We're totally in the lead!"
"I have to wonder though, how are we to get to central park from here? Xena asked.
"There's the next buoy!" Gwen pointed. They drove into the open mouth of a sewer and disgusted noises could be heard.
Conquest follows, and then Team Valkyrie. We can hear Amy gag from inside the sewer. "The sewer?! I hate Chris!"
"For once we agree on something." Amber replied.
"Who will survive and who's taking a dive? Find out when we return on Total Drama World Tour!" Chris voice overlay.
/
We return to the episode to see Team Chris riding their boat through the sewer. Harold is staring at Xena. "You seem to be quite focused on me today Harold. Might I inquire as to why?" The overlogical girl asked.
"What were you talking about with Amy earlier?" Harold asked.
"I was merely discussing strategy with her." Xena explained.
"Nice of you to try and help out." Brick said.
Before Harold could protest the group heard a loud growl.
"Um, was that a sewer gator?" Tyler asked.
"No way! Those are just a myth, an urban legend." Gwen rolled her eyes. As the boat leaves a large white gator surfaced behind them.
Meanwhile Team Conquest was just behind team Chris and were heading straight towards the gator. They too heard him growl.
"Please tell that's just one of your stomach's grumbling." Noah said, his eyes wide.
"No." Duncan admitted. "It sounded like-" The punk was cut off as the gator prepared to attack the ship. Everyone screamed as it dove for them. Luckily it missed.
The gator landed in the water just as Team Valkyrie arrived. Their boat ramped over, the gator began to chase after them snapping its jaws.
"Dawn! Can't you use your animal thing to calm it down?!" Amy asked. \
"I don't think he's in a listening mood!" Dawn replied.
At the end of the sewer tunnel we see Team Chris' boat exit. This is followed shortly by Team Conquest. We follow the two boats as they moved forward.
"I'm glad we're out of there." Alejandro said.
"Sha please, Lightning could take that thing." Lightning scoffed.
"Where's Jo's team?" Brick asked in concern.
The large gator popped out of the sewer getting stuck around the midsection. He coughs up the Valkyries and all of the boats reach the dock at about the same time.
"Oh that's the kind of stink that never comes out." Chris chuckled. He turned to Chef. "Make the gator sign a waiver so we can show it on TV." Chef grumbles to himself but swims over and does so.
"What was that?! Are you completely useless?!" Amy snapped at Dawn.
"Hey! It's not her fault!" Amber snapped back at her. "Who could tame a gator?!"
"Well she should have at least tried! It might make up for her leaving Ella!" Amy glared.
"That wasn't her fault either." The bookworm said.
"I don't know. As far as we know she was the only one there. Who's to say what happened?" Topher smirked.
Amy smiled. "Thanks Topher, good to know someone agrees with me."
Xena is watching closely. Harold frowns at her.
(Confessional)
Topher: Okay look. This whole fight is probably pointless, which is why it's so perfect for Reality TV! And since Amber's taken Dawn's side, it only makes sense that I take Amy's.
Static
Harold: I just can't shake the feeling Xena's up to something. I don't have much evidence, but can I really keep silent about something like this?
Static
Chris stands next to a black sign. On the sign are three paths in each of the team's colors. The purple one is straightforward, the gold one a little longer, and the pink one a very, 'scenic' route. They all lead of a pond and then past that to a giant heart.
The host clapped his hands. "Alright focus people! Welcome to the second half of the challenge. Bobbing for apples NYC Style." As he spoke the focus shifted out to show all of the teens listening.
"Here's how it's gonna go down." Chris continued, pulling out a point from behind his back. He leads it along the purple line to the pond. "Teams must push their carriage along one of three paths to Central Park's fabled turtle pond. There one member of each team will bob for some very special apples. Using only their mouths." The host points to his own. "No hands."
Chris continued to move his point right until he pointed at the heart. "Once they get it to shore the rest of the team must load it into their carriages and race to the finish line in the heart of central park. And what's a baby carriage with out a baby?"
"A pull cart with a canopy." Xena answered.
"It was a rhetorical question." Chris said. "One member of each team must ride in their carriage and stay there all the way to the finish line."
"Harold is the lightest and therefore our most logical choice." Xena said.
"You're around the same weight." Harold pointed out.
"And which of the two of us is more physically fit?" The overlogical girl challenged.
"She's got you there." Gwen smirked. Harold sighed in resignation.
"Tree hugger you're smallest so you ride." Jo insisted.
"I'll do it." Noah offered.
"Good we were gonna make you anyway." Duncan smirked.
"Team Chris got here first, so they get the shortest path. Team Conquest gets the longest path on the left, and Team Valkyrie gets the longest path on the right." Chris finished his explanation. "Oh, and a little traveling music please!"
"Yeah now we're talkin'!" Anne Maria cheered.
"We're really doing this aren't we?" Duncan sighed.
"Fun huh?" chris smirked as the musical chime went off and the note symbol appeared in the upper left corner. "Now move it! We only have permits to cordon off this section of the park for another hour."
At this everyone began to run.
(Song Five: What's not to love?)
The brooklyn bridge is shown before it fades into a golden yellow and green sketch artstyle. Alejandro appears on Screen shaded green. "What's not to love about New York City?" He holds up a hand as though listening. "The taxi honks make a lovely ditty!" The screen behind him turns red with a black thumb print on it. "Though crime is high! I cannot lie! What's not to love about New York?"
Tyler is in front of an alleyway shaded in colors of red, yellow, and blue. The jock himself is shaded purple. He begins to dance across the alleyway "The lights are brighter! The sights are sighter!"
Tyler runs past a background of two people walking down New York streets at a brisk pace. Both are also on phone calls. Naturally with neither party looking where they're going they run into each other and start to squabble. "The pace is faster, and leads to disaster !"
The alleyway from earlier is shown again as Tyler continues. "The dirt and grime make every alley shine!" Tyler dances across a very large piano on a purple background containing a treble clef, a sixteenth note, and two quarter notes strung together. "What's not to love about New York?!" The jock trips.
A statue of atlas is shown as Anne Maria's voice can be heard off screen. It zooms out the show her shaded in green, then further to show the statue of Atlas is part of a set background on a stage with blue curtains. "The stores, and the fashion! Broadway's where stars cash in!" A curtain backdrop of the city at night falls behind her as she sings the next line. "It's awesome how the city never sleeps!"
Topher comes on stage. "Dance break!" A spotlight shines down on the blonde who is shaded in pink. He begins to do a complicated tap routine. Not to be outshined Anne Maria joins in with some more…ghetto moves. Shaking her hips and swaying wildly.
A gigantic Jo shaded in red interrupts them. Jo: Stop loafing around!
All of Team chris is shown shaded in purple as they push their carriage.
Team Chris: Subway trains and the hustle-bustle!
Their voices can be heard off screen even as the focus shifted to Team Conquest.
Team Chris and Team Conquest: Cappuccinos while the mobsters tussle!
Team Conquest runs past Amber standing at a stand containing random key chains, snow globes, paper weights, and T-shirts. Amy is right behind her as the vendor hands Amber a keychain of a duck with X's for eyes. She sings. "And Tchotchke stands for all us Tchotchke Stans!"
Amy smirked and continued the song. "What's not to love?!"
Topher and Anne Maria are shown running together.
Amy, Topher, and Anne maria. "What's not to love?!"
The focus moved out again to show all three teams running/ pushing their carriages, all shaded in their teams respective color.
Everyone: What's not to love... about New York?!
The turtle pond is shown with three enormous apples floating in it. A pigeon is sitting on one of them and spits into the water.
"The other teams got here at the same time?!" Gwen said. "I thought we got the shortest path!"
"Yes, but both their teams are more athletic overall, and Brick refused to continue on until he helped Tyler up after he tripped." Xena pointed out.
"Look at the size of those things?!" Tyler exclaimed.
"Remember no hands!" Chris taunted from his place on a large rock.
"I'm going." Jo insisted, running over to the pond.
"I'll get it soliders!" Brick said before Tyler could offer. He jumped in after Jo.
"I'm going!" Eva snapped.
"Sha please, Lightning is going." Lightning said.
"I say we let Lightning do it." Duncan smirked.
Eva looked angry but Lightning was already jumping into the pond before she could protest. "What the heck?! You'd better have a good reason for that?!"
"Simple if he gets injured, we won't lose our strongest member." Duncan explained.
"He's right amiga, you're far too valuable to waste on such a task." Alejandro said.
"Should we wake sleeping beauty here?" Duncan asked, pointing to a sleeping Noah.
"No need. He's not really contributing anyway." The Spaniard smirked.
The focus shifted to Team Valkyrie and Team Chris. At the moment Tyler, is the one member of Team Chris at their aside from Harold. The nerd pointed over to where Xena is once again talking with Amy. "Tyler I swear she's part of the reason Amy's been so mean today. I think Xena's encouraging that behavior."
"Harold, since when has Amy needed encoragement to be mean?" Tyler asked.
"Well, what about last challenge. Xena was at the same pole Ella got stuck to, you don't find that suspicious?" Harold asked.
"Maybe a little, but we don't know if she had anything to do with Ella getting stuck. I mean, she was wet and tired, can you really say she might not have leaned against the pole herself?" Tyler said.
"Look I've got like a sixth sense for these things. Xena's up to something." Harold said.
"I don't know man. Accusing someone of something without much reason seems wrong to me." the jock said.
The focus moved over to Amy and Xena. "I am simply saying that I noticed you confronting Team Conquest eariler and I think it worked."
"I just wish I could find a chance to sabotage them, but Eva's watching that stroller like a hawk." Amy pouted.
Topher smirked. "That gives me an idea."
Tyler and Harold are still talking as Topher sneaks over to them. He grabs a small twig and jams it into the space between the axel and the left back wheel on the carriage.
(confessional)
Topher: That should cause some drama.
Static
In the pond all three swimmers are competing to reach their apple first. Brick and Jo in particular seem very focused on beating each other. When they reach their apples they both began to head butt them across the pond while they swim.
"I crushed your team last time, and I'll do it again!" Jo told him.
"My team and I have a better understanding of each other. That'll give us an overall victory." Brick responded.
"Please, you're going to eat my team's dust!" The jockette retorted.
Meanwhile Lightning is using his teeth on the apple's stem when a snapping turtle jumped on him. "What?! Get off the Lightning!"
"It's called turtle pond for a reason." Chris said from his spot on a large rock.
Lightning slapped the turtle away, but several more turtles attacked. Chris and Chef are seen cringing at the chaos off stream.
Jo and Brick finally reached the shore of the pond at the same time. Brick was clearly a little dizzy because he fell over once he got on shore. The rest of his team worked together to get the apple on. Meanwhile Jo seem none the worse for wear and easily helped her team out.
As Jo began to push the carriage, the rest of her team in tow, Brick ordered his team to do the same.
Tyler attempted to push the carriage. "It's not moving!"
"What! Tyler, is this your stupid court shoes again?!" Gwen complained.
"No, the carriage won't move!" Tyler said.
Jo looked over her shoulder and smirked. "See you at the finish schmuck!"
The focus shifted back to Lightning in the pond. "Finish?!" With a burst of energy Lightning threw the turtles off him and headbutted the apple hard enough to send it to shore.
Eva placed the apple on the carriage and ran, with Lightning jumping on the shore and swiftly catching up with his team. "No one finishes before Lightning!"
Xena looked under the carriage. "It appears a stick has jammed the back wheels." She easily pulled it free. "Tyler go!"
Team Chris took off as quickly as they could. Despite their head start the Valkyries were only slightly in the lead, it was close, but in the end Eva managed to overcome Jo and finish first.
The focus shifted to Chris sitting on the edge of a fountain. "And the winner of the New York challenge is: Team Conquest! Team Valkyrie congrats on not losing, and Team Chris is really, really, really, really, evil you're facing elimination.
Team Conquest cheered as Amy glared at them. "How dare they celebrate!"
"I can't believe we lost!" Jo complained.
Harold was looking at Xena suspiciously. "How did you know the wheels were jammed?"
"It was the most logical answer to the problem." Xena said.
"I'm just saying, it's a little suspicious how quickly you figured it out." Harold said.
"Whoa! There's no way Xena had anything to do with that." Tyler said. "She'd never sabotage her own team."
"That would not be logical at all." Xena said.
Harold frowned.
/
Team Chris is outside the confessional to vote. Harold was currently inside. Gwen was talking to Xena. "Harold seems to think you're being underhanded."
"Leaving Ella where she was, was what was best for our team. If that is being underhanded, then I suppose so." The overlogical girl said.
"Xena I cannot condone that. I understand you were looking after your team, but I expect you to be moral about it." Brick said.
/
Team Chris is now at elimination. As usual Chris stands at a 'podium'. "Team Chris this is your second elimination. Not making me look good, you know?"
"We don't care." Gwen glared.
"Anyway. The following contestants are safe." As Chris says each name the respective person catches their bags. "Brick, Gwen, Tyler," The focus is not Harold and Xena. "Let's look at why you're here. Xena you're here because Harold suspects you of foul play, and you left Ella stuck to a pole." Xena nodded. "Harold you're here because you think there might be more she's done and have very little evidence for it."
"I'm telling you, Xena's suspicious!" Harold said.
Chris holds up the final barfbag. "And the final barfbag goes to... Xena!"
"What! Why me! Xena admitted to leaving Ella behind!" Harold complained.
"Yeah, but she was only doing what she thought was best for the team. I can't vote her off for that… and after all the time we've competed together she's my friend." Tyler said.
"And honestly Harold, accusing her of possible team sabotage is going too far." Gwen said.
"If it makes you feel better Harold I voted for her." Brick said.
"Thanks man. You gotta keep an eye on her." Harold said.
"Believe me I intend to." The cadet said.
With that Harold jumped off the jet.

Brick: I will not condone underhanded tactics on my team. Still everyone deserves a second chance, and I will be watching. (He salutes) Thank you solider, I now know who may be a problem.

Xena: Well this is a predicament. I guess Ella's elimination was a bit too obvious. Now that Brick's watching me I'll need to find a way of manipulating emotions that he'd approve of…

Chris is in the cockpit with Chef. "Will Xena come up with a strategy? Can Brick keep her on the straight and narrow? And when will the Valkyries ever lose a member? Find out next time on Total Drama World Tour!
A/N: I know a lot of people will be mad Harold left early again. He has admittedly gotten the shaft in my fics. However he did last longer than his canon appearance, and his elimination means something. Moreover it relies on Harold's biggest weakness: He doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. If he thinks someone is in the wrong he calls them out regardless of what the consequences might be. As shown by all the times he calls out Duncan in action.
As for Xena admits to leaving Ella behind. She doesn't view what she did as wrong, so she doesn't know she needs to hide it. Besides you'll note she didn't admit to getting Ella stuck in the first place. Leaving her behind and being the reason she was stuck are two very different things, and Xena knows that.
By the way the comment Tyler made about being friends with Xena after their all their time on shows together between season will be coming back. Let's just say he's going to try and help her out. And Tyler's a loyal friend. He was still on Team Alejandro, even after everything he did after all.
Brick is going to be keeping an eye on Xena. This is to prevent her from being as god mode as Alejandro is in canon. Plus it mirrors him figuring out Owen is the mole.
Amy and Dawn are fighting with Topher and Amber joining each of their sides respectively. Jo and Brick still have their rivalry and I'll be honest Team Conquest was kind of in the background this episode.
To those who are worried Team Valkyrie will be playing god mode, they will have an elimination soon. I promise you that.
By the way the keychain Amber got is a reference to the fact she now hates ducks after Wawanakwa gone wild.
