"Previously on Total Disventure All Stars. Teams got acquainted while rainstorms soaked all their camps. Magenta Team managed to avoid getting wet thanks to Ally's strategy to cover the tent with leaves. The challenge was to bring all the critters into the camp to repopulate the forest. Magenta Team lost and thanks to an argument with Jake and him showcasing too much loyalty to Aiden, James was voted out first which didn't fit too well with Hunter, Ally, and Raj. Twenty-three left. Who will be voted out tonight?" Kristal recapped.
(After theme song)
We begin the episode with it raining in the morning. Currently the Cyan Team were sitting in their waterproof tent.
"How long is this storm going to go on for?" Aiden asked solemnly.
"I think the worst is over. The sun is starting to clear the skies." Ellie pointed out happily.
"Once the rain stops I can get a fire going." Tom said earnestly.
"I can help. I have a trick I learned from my parents…" Priya beamed before faltering. Gabby did not seem to catch this however and smiled at this.
"Oh that's nice. Did you go camping with them or something?" Gabby asked happily.
"Well… if you consider being left out in the woods alone for survival training… yes…" Priya smiled nervously before a tear began trailing down her eye, "I need to go find some food."
"But it's raining." Damien pointed out in concern.
"I'LL MANAGE!" Priya spoke sharply before walking off, leaving the rest of the team besides Ellie and Tess to glare at the nature lover.
"Was it something I said?" Gabby asked nervously.
"Gabby, do you not know what Priya's been through?!" Damien asked incredulously, "You mentioned watching this show, you should know Priya's parents are messed up!"
"I-I'm sorry… I just thought they couldn't have been that bad. They're her parents after all…" Gabby said sadly.
"Lay off her, Damien. She just asked a question. She didn't know it'd set her off. Also, who are you to tell us what Priya's been through?" Ellie said angrily as she stepped to defend her girlfriend.
"Millie told me all I needed to know." Damien sighed solemnly.
"Oh. What did she say?" Ellie asked with concern before Damien crossed his arms.
"That's for me to know. It's a private matter." Damien said angrily which made Ellie look on in shock while Bowie looked interested.
Confessional: Damien
"I'm worried about Priya. Lots of crap went down when she got home from season two, stuff I'd rather not repeat. I don't wanna bring the rest of my team into this drama so I kept my mouth shut. Hopefully the team understands the situation." Damien said sadly.
Confessional Ends
We then cut to the Yellow Team's tent where given the tent was not waterproof, it proved to be very hard not to get wet. We see that Miriam, Connor, Riya, Yul, Grett, and Ripper are all in their team's tent and all soaked.
"Ugh. It's so cold. Where's Alec and MK?" Ripper asked incredulously.
"They went out to look for breakfast." Miriam responded.
"In the rain?" Connor raised an eyebrow.
"They probably don't want to squeeze in here with the rest of us. Alec's an introvert and MK seems to be the same way." Grett explained.
"I can vouch for MK. She's pretty asocial other than her bond with Julia. It's not like this place is super dry anyway." Ripper nodded.
"Ugh! We have to win the next challenge! We cannot lose any more rewards!" Riya complained.
"What happened to coming prepared? Where's your waterproof fur coat?" Yul asked with a mocking smirk.
"You wanna say that again, wise guy?" Riya growled as she grabbed onto Yul's hair.
"Ugh. Let go of me you has-been!" Yul cried out brattily.
"Look who's talking. HAHAHAHA!" Ripper laughed mockingly before Connor intervened.
"Enough! All of you! I get we're all stressed, but I will not allow fighting!" Connor said angrily.
"Ugh. Who died and made you the king of arguments?" Yul scoffed.
"Don't tell me what to do. I'm not your daughter." Riya commanded to her older friend.
"Then quit acting like a child!" Connor said angrily before storming off furiously.
"You should apologize to him." Miriam recommended angrily to the actress.
"Why should I?" Riya scoffed indignantly.
"Because he's the only one here who's willing to put up with your crap." Miriam explained.
"Damn. Truth must hurt." Ripper smirked knowingly which caused Riya to glare at him again.
We then see Connor walking outside when he ran into Alec and MK who seemed confused by his anger.
"Whoa. Someone's shooting daggers." MK said playfully.
"Leave me alone MK, I'm already annoyed as is." Connor said sternly.
"Geez. I was just saying." MK said in annoyance.
"Ignore her, what happened in there? We heard shouting." Alec asked Connor in concern.
"It's like handling a bunch of kindergarteners in there." Connor explained angrily, "I can understand Ripper and Yul behaving like this but Riya? I thought she'd know better."
"Maybe that's just who she is." MK shrugged dismissively.
"I know Riya. She's sweet and kind, and I trust her with my life." Connor said determinedly before sighing, "But this persona that comes out every time we're on camera, it's just not who she is."
"So what's wrong with her?" Alec asked curiously.
"She's under a lot of stress due to her on-screen reputation. I try to be understanding but sometimes she makes it really hard." Connor explained solemnly.
"You can't make her change, man. Unless she wants to, she will always be this way." MK explained in an almost solemn tone.
"She's right. I would know." Alec sighed.
"How do you two know that?" Connor asked with a raised eyebrow.
"A while ago, my wife who I was very close to tried to change who I was. I wasn't able to figure it out for myself until it was too late. No matter what she told me, I was still the same man she couldn't stand and so it made us go our separate ways." Alec said sadly, "I'm sorry. I'm just trying to be honest with you."
"I see… What about you, MK?" Connor asked curiously.
"I… it's not important. Just trust what Alec says." MK said defensively which made Connor turn away remorsefully.
Confessional: MK
"After I lost my season, I watched it over and over to see what I could've done to improve myself. I think my biggest mistake was relying on Julia for as long as I did… well and cheating in all those challenges for so long, it was up to the point where Julia was my only connection. This time I need to branch out more and I have a feeling Alec knows it too." MK said sternly.
Confessional Ends
We then cut to Hunter, Ally, and Raj collecting sticks and branches across the field as Hunter noticed Ally looking uneasy.
"Is everything okay, Ally?" Hunter asked in concern.
"We need a plan. It was a bad idea to target Fiore." Ally said solemnly.
"Yeah, we should've targeted Jake, he was pulling stuff out of his ass yesterday with all the Tom and Aiden crap." Raj nodded firmly.
"Hold on guys, Jake's a valuable member of the team and besides, Fiore is the weakest." Hunter told the two.
"Have you noticed Jake and Millie talking all day? I'm worried they could be working together and they did vote with Julia and Fiore to eliminate James… I think we need to get Julia and Fiore on our side." Ally sighed.
"No way. We'll just keep losing challenges with Fiore still around." Hunter scoffed.
"Think more strategically, Hunter." Ally said sternly, "The three of us can't get distracted like the last time we played."
"What do you mean?" Raj asked curiously, "I wasn't on your season."
"I watched season two of the TD reboot Raj. No offense but you and Wayne were so busy goofing off that you got yourself eliminated." Ally reminded the hockey boy who widened his eyes before looking downcast.
"And if we keep getting distracted, the audience will hate all three of us!" Ally said angrily.
"Huh?" Raj raised an eyebrow.
"Is that all you care about now. What the audience thinks?" Hunter asked incredulously.
"You know that's not what I mean. I can't go through several months of scrolling through constant hate comments." Ally said angrily which made Raj give a look of sympathy while Hunter sighed.
Confessional: Hunter
"She cares so much about what others think of her, and now she's dragging poor Raj into her mindset as well. Does it not matter at all what I think?" Hunter asked sadly.
Confessional: Ally
"Sometimes I feel like Hunter doesn't understand me at all." Ally sighed.
Confessional: Raj
"I miss Bowie. He'd know what to do in a situation like this." Raj said solemnly.
Confessionals End
We then cut to the Yellow and Cyan Teams in their swimsuits as they stand near a dock with Kristal as they wait for the Magenta Team.
"Come on in." Kristal said happily to the Magenta team as they walked by, "You guys are getting a first look at the new Magenta Team, James voted out at the first elimination."
This news caused the likes of MK, Riya, and Yul yo smirk while Aiden gasped in horror at this turn of events.
"James…. No." Aiden said in disappointment.
"I'm so sorry Aiden." Tom said sympathetically.
"It's okay… I knew it could happen." Aiden sighed as Tom placed a comforting hand on his shoulder which caused Jake to scoff silently which earned him a glare from Raj.
Confessional: Aiden
"This sucks. James is a better person than before and would be willing to win the right way. Who could possibly hate him?! It's gonna be so much harder without him." Aiden sighed miserably.
Confessional Ends
"Time to explain today's challenge. We provided scuba gear for everyone. Once you're all dressed, you must enter the lake where you'll find clues to a hidden treasure chest. The two teams that find the chest first and bring it to the surface win invincibility and one more thing, the new marine life in camp can be a little dangerous." Kristal explained, "Get on your diving gear and we'll get started."
We then see Trevor, Marcus, and Chef handing out diving gear as Riya took her helmet with a worried look on her face.
"You okay Riya?" Connor asked in concern.
"It's just that scuba diving didn't end so well for me last time." Riya whimpered.
"Oh… right. Don't worry, I'll be right by your side the whole time." Connor smiled encouragingly.
"Promise you won't leave me?" Riya asked sadly.
"I promise." Connor confirmed.
Soon the entire Yellow Team had their helmets on and Grett began speaking.
"I think we can split up and look for the clues. Connor, you and Riya go together, I'll go with my darling Yul, Ripper and MK can search together, and Alec, you go with Miriam." Grett told everyone.
"Understood." Alec nodded.
We then see Marcus handing Jake his helmet which he decided to put on and then strike a "sexy" pose.
"So how do I look? Could I be a runway model?" Jake asked teasingly.
"It'd be quite a wild fashion show, I'll tell you that." Millie chuckled.
Raj and Ally immediately shared a concerned look at the scene.
We then cut to everyone standing at the dock with their helmets and oxygen tanks on them with Kristal on her megaphone, "I'll be waiting right here. First two teams to bring their treasure chests back win immunity. Make use of those radios I generously gave you to communicate with each other. This challenge starts now."
We then cut to the Magenta Team all floating through the water when Millie spoke up.
"We should split up to cover more ground. I'll go with Jake." Millie strategized.
"Good plan. I'll go with Hunter and Raj." Ally nodded.
"So that leaves us alone, I imagine?" Julia asked dismissively to which the other Magenta Team members just swam away awkwardly.
"Uggggggggh. Those jerks." Fiore growled.
"Let's just go find some clues." Julia narrows her eyes in annoyance.
Meanwhile the Cyan Team was searching aimlessly through the water when Tom gasped as he found a pit tunnel nearby.
"Ooh. There might be something in there." Tom smiled.
"Fine… but I don't think spooky dark tunnels ever end well." Aiden said worriedly.
"Be careful. It's dark in there." Damien said in concern.
Tom and Aiden then went into the tunnel and immediately afterwards their teammates began to hear screaming.
"That's it. I'm going in there." Priya said sternly before Tom and Aiden swam out with a shark chasing them.
"Please tell me you're all okay." Tess said in shock.
"Y-Yeah… we're just distracting the shark for you." Tom laughed awkwardly as the shark chased him and Aiden, "Head into the tunnel. There's a clue in there."
"Are you crazy?! I'm not going back in there after what I just saw." Damien said incredulously.
"Oh, man up already Damien! You're such a coward, I swear to god!" Priya rolled her eyes angrily.
"P-Priya…" Damien said sadly which caused Priya to look away in regret.
"I'll stay up here with Damien. The rest of you can go find the clue." Bowie interjected firmly.
"Sounds good to me. Come on girls." Ellie told the girls before swimming down the tunnel with Gabby and Tess. Priya looked reluctant but eventually followed.
"So… I know I'm not exactly involved in her life, but what's going on with Priya?" Bowie asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I really don't feel comfortable sharing that, man. It's her business." Damien said angrily.
"Priya is just as much of my teammate as yours'. Therefore, at least some of us need to be made aware of what's going on with her so we can handle it and to be honest, you're doing a terrible job doing so." Bowie said sternly which caused Damien to shift nervously before sighing.
"Fine. You know how Priya's parents are nutcases, right?" Damien reminded the strategist who nodded, "Well… let's just say their horrible parenting finally got put into question a year ago by some of Priya's neighbors. Once our seasons streamed on television, it was all the evidence people needed to call the police and have them arrested for multiple accounts of child abuse. She kinda had to be put in foster care for the rest of the year until she was eighteen in which she immediately moved in with Millie with the million she got from the first season. She's always said she's okay over text but I know she's still coming to terms with the fact her parents essentially only had her so they could live off of her."
"Oh… oh god…" Bowie said in shock.
"Yeah… and now that we're back in the competition she feels the pressure to win again." Damien said sadly, "I wanna say something to her but I don't know how."
Bowie just looks away in sympathy.
We then cut to Connor and Riya in another part of the water when Riya noticed something.
"Connor, I see something under that rock." Riya pointed out.
"Let's go." Connor said happily.
"I can't… it's too dark." Riya shivered.
"Alright, I'll be right back. Wait for me here." Connor reassured the actress as he swam to get the clue by a rock down below while Riya began hyperventilating. Suddenly an eel swam besides her, causing her to scream and swim away.
"Riya!" Connor cried out in horror before swimming in front of the eel who was chasing Riya, held his oxygen tank to shield Riya and then swam upwards with her so they could make it to the surface.
"Guys! I found the clue!" Connor said from his radio.
"Great. Bring it here." Alec said as he and the rest of the team were swimming besides each other.
"I can't. An eel broke my oxygen tank." Connor told the group.
"Nice going, man. Can you at least tell us what it says?" Ripper asked incredulously.
"Yeah… it's a drawing of seaweed. That must be where the next clue is." Connor said.
"Let's hustle people." Grett said angrily before swimming off to the right with Yul and Ripper while Alec, Miriam, and MK swam to the left.
We then see Connor and Riya sitting by the dock when Riya speaks up, "Connor… thank you for saving me and for standing by my side. I know I've been mistreating you again and I'm sorry."
Connor immediately embraced Riya as he smiled, "You're trying. That's all I can ask for. I'll always be there for you."
"I need to be honest. At the very least, you deserve that. I know you came back to the show to support me and I really like you Connor but I came to win, I don't want there to be any more confusion." Riya said sternly.
"Oh." Connor said in shock.
"I've been trying to push you away because I thought it'd hurt less… look, you have to stay away from me." Riya said sadly.
"But why?" Connor said, hurt by what she asked.
"I don't want to hurt you anymore. You're a good man Connor but to win this game, I can't keep going down the honorable path. It's not how this industry works." Riya said sadly.
"I thought you wanted to be better. That's why you came back." Connor said, showing hints of anger.
"Well… you thought wrong." Riya crossed her arms causing Connor to look down miserably.
"We shouldn't be each others burdens anymore. We need to take some time apart." Riya said sadly.
"Is that what I am to you… a burden?" Connor asked sadly.
"It's over. I hope you were expecting to play the game together but we can't be anything more than that." Riya sighed solemnly.
Confessional: Connor
"Well I guess that's that." Connor said miserably.
Confessional: Riya
"Seeing Connor protect me from that eel brought out a side of me I didn't want to see again. I do hope he's doing okay. He's still a vote I can use." Riya sighed.
Confessionals End
"I feel bad, Millie." Jake said sadly.
"Why?" Millie asked curiously.
"For voting out James. What if there really is nothing going on between Tom and Aiden?" Jake asked solemnly.
"That's what I've been saying. I mean, you can't really trust the words of MK or Alec for that matter." Millie reminded the boy.
"I know but… I felt something strange when I saw them together but now all I feel is guilt." Jake sighed sadly.
"You can't keep feeling guilty over this. The best thing to do is to move forward." Millie advises happily.
"Is it wrong to feel guilty over this?" Jake asked curiously.
"Guilt can't consume you if you let it… I've been there before." Millie said sadly.
"How so?" Jake raised an eyebrow.
However, the two were interrupted by Tom and Aiden's screaming as they were chased by the shark. They then hid behind a rock in which the shark bumped into, allowing Tom to punch it in the nose so it could scurry off.
"We did it. Finally." Aiden smiled at the officer as they hugged, "We're alive!"
Both Jake and Millie caught wind of this and Jake immediately scoffed.
"Do you see that?! I know I'm not crazy!" Jake said angrily.
"Maybe… or maybe they're just happy that they survived a shark attack." Millie said dully.
We then cut back to the girls of the Cyan Team reading the clue.
"Oh… it's a drawing of seaweed." Priya raised an eyebrow.
"Oh. I know where that is. Follow me." Ellie said enthusiastically as she began swimming with the rest of the girls following.
"Woohoo! We're gonna win!" Gabby cheered before she and the girls continued swimming.
"Wow! It's like we're one big happy family!" Tess said happily.
"Agreed Tess. And I was just thinking, what would you all think of a girls' alliance?" Ellie asked curiously.
"I would consider it." Tess shrugged.
"Same here." Priya beamed excitedly.
"My girlfriend is so smart." Gabby gushed as they all began swimming out of the tunnel.
"We all work so well together and I can't say the same for the boys." Ellie smirked with a roll of her eyes.
"No doubt." Tess said briefly before they made it to the seaweed where the next clue was found.
"I have the next clue." Gabby smiled as she grabbed the clue.
"What does it say?" Ellie asked with a raised eyebrow.
"A photo of the chest and the cave. This must be the last clue." Gabby beamed.
"Alright girls. Let's move!" Priya smiled as she and the rest of the girls continued swimming.
Confessional: Priya
"This is amazing! If I ally with the girls, it'll protect me and Damien for the next three eliminations and I highly doubt we'll be like Team Victory. This is totally my season!" Priya said excitedly.
Confessional Ends
We then cut to Alec, Miriam, and MK searching together when Miriam spoke up.
"Now that we're alone. What exactly were you two saying to Jake in the previous challenge?" Miriam asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Nothing important." MK scoffed indignantly.
"If I find out you two are trying to manipulate him. You'll have to answer to me." Miriam threatened.
"You're getting worked up over nothing." Alec rolled his eyes.
"Look. There's a clue." MK smiled as she pointed out the next clue and picked it up, "It's a photo of the cave."
"Let's go." Alec said as he, MK, and Miriam began swimming off together before they noticed Julia and Fiore sulking alone.
"Fiore? Julia? What are you two doing alone?" Alec asked in shock.
"Our useless team abandoned us to look for clues!" Fiore said incredulously.
"Geez." MK cringed.
"Finally getting your just desserts." Miriam smirked.
"We didn't even DO anything." Julia glared at the elderly woman.
"We can help you." MK smirked in reassurance.
"Help them? Why should we?" Miriam asked skeptically.
"Miriam. If Julia and Fiore's team wins… Jake is on their team. They would all be safe." Alec reminded her.
"Are you suggesting we throw the challenge?" Miriam asked with crossed arms.
"Oh no no no. All we need to do is make the Cyan Team lose." MK said with a chuckle.
"Fine. Only because it'll save Jake." Miriam scowled.
"Okay you two, tell your team you found the last clue and the chest is in a cave. Miriam, let's go find the Cyan Team." MK smirked before swimming off with Alec and Miriam.
"Hey fish for brains. Me and Fiore found the last clue. I hope you'll take us seriously now." Julia said harshly into her mic.
"The chest is in a cavern! Move!" Fiore added angrily.
We then see Raj, Hunter, and Ally together and looking at each other in confusion.
"How did they find the last clue so quickly?" Hunter asked curiously.
"I told you Hunter. You shouldn't underestimate anyone." Ally reminded her boyfriend, "Let's move."
We then see Grett, Yul, and Ripper searching together when Yul spoke up, "Have you found anything?"
"Nope." Ripper shrugged.
"Ugh! Where is that stupid clue!" Yul growled, making Grett chuckle.
"You're so cute when you're frustrated." Grett cooed.
"Seriously?" Yul said, deadpan.
"Yeah darling." Grett put a hand to Yul's chest causing him to slap her hand away.
"Don't touch me!" Yul cried out furiously.
"What?!" Grett raised an eyebrow.
"Dude! What is your deal?!" Ripper asked angrily.
"Uh… I mean, let's focus on finding the last clue." Yul chuckled nervously.
"We have the last clue. The chest is in a cavern." Alec said through the earpiece.
"There's a cavern in that direction." Ripper pointed out.
"C'mon." Grett said as Yul and Ripper soon followed with Ripper glaring at Yul.
Confessional: Grett
"Sometimes I feel Yul acts a little distant towards me but maybe physical affection isn't his thing." Grett said awkwardly.
Confessional Ends
We then cut to the Cyan Team girls as they keep searching through the water.
"Ugh. We've been searching for what seems like FOREVER!" Priya complained furiously.
"Calm down Priya." Ellie said calmly.
"How can I calm down?! The other teams could easily be winning and we CANNOT allow for that to happen. I will not be the next Team Victory!" Priya said furiously.
"W-What?" Gabby raised an eyebrow.
"World Tour reference." Ellie briefly clarified to her girlfriend.
"Oh." Gabby chuckled before Miriam suddenly swam in front of them sadly.
"Girls, I think I lost my team and I think I'm running out of oxygen." Miriam said solemnly.
"Sounds like your problem. Just go back to the surface." Ellie crossed her arms.
"Shut up Ellie!" Priya glared at the hard-worker.
"Where did you last see them?" Tess asked calmly.
"In the cave." Miriam answered.
"Cave?" Ellie asked in interest:
"If you take us, I'll help you go to the surface later." Priya smiled enthusiastically.
"Okay. Follow me." Miriam told the girls before swimming for them to follow. Meanwhile Alec and MK were watching from behind a rock with smirks on their faces.
Meanwhile Raj, Hunter, and Ally began swimming down the cave and soon Ally gasped in shock.
"Julia and Fiore were right!" The chest is here!" Raj said happily, "Let's get it back to the surface!"
Back with the Miriam, Ellie, Gabby, Tess, and Priya, the latter four were starting to grow concerned with where Miriam was leading them.
"Miriam… are you sure this is where the cave is?" Tess asked in concern.
"Oh… sure. We're almost there." Miriam smirked to herself.
"She's lying. Wouldn't be the first time." Ellie narrowed her eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense." Miriam glared at Ellie who glared back.
"I think I have a right to distrust the person who faked a heart attack last time we played, especially since we're in the middle of a challenge." Ellie rebutted but before Miriam could respond, Bowie, Damien, Aiden, and Tom swam by.
"Girls. We were looking for you." Bowie said angrily causing the girls to widen their eyes.
"Miriam's taking us to the cave." Tess explained.
"But the cave is right this way. Tom and I were just there." Aiden pointed to the left.
"We've been tricked?!" Priya asked in fury.
"I knew it." Ellie crossed her arms.
"Is that true Miriam?" Gabby asked in hurt.
"Oops." Miriam replied guiltily once she saw Gabby's hurt expression.
"Gah! I thought we were friends, Miriam." Tom crossed his arms.
"And I thought you would call." Miriam's expression hardened.
We then cut to Ally, Hunter, and Raj bringing the chest up to the surface while Ripper, Grett, and Yul brought their chest up second.
"Team Magenta and Yellow have their chests and win immunity." Chef announced after both teams resurface, "Magenta Team, since you were first. You can take what's inside. A fishing kit which can catch anything from man eating sharks to simple goldfish."
The Magenta Team immediately cheered while Julia shared a secret fist bump with MK.
"Ugh! Second place again!" Riya grumbled.
"You have no room to complain! You're lucky we didn't lose!" Ripper said angrily.
"Oh you're the one who's lucky we didn't lose." Riya said as she and Ripper glared daggers at each other but before anything could happen, Team Cyan finally resurfaced.
"Team Cyan, luck was not on your side. I'll see you at elimination where the second person will be voted off of Total Disventure All Stars." Kristal smirked.
We then cut to Damien, Bowie, Tom, and Aiden roasting tree bark on the firewood when Priya walked over to them.
"Hey guys. Do you know where the girls are?" Priya asked curiously.
"They went out a moment ago. Why?" Aiden raised an eyebrow.
"I figured they went to get firewood so I'm going to join them because that's totally normal to do. Okay bye." Priya said quickly before walking off which made Bowie and Tom raise their eyebrows.
We then cut to Ellie, Gabby, and Tess meeting near the woods.
"Isn't Priya supposed to be here?" Tess asked curiously.
"Girls, I'm worried about Priya. She's been acting more volatile recently and I'm not sure how helpful she'll be if she just continues treating Damien like she did and even then, she spends most of her time with Damien." Ellie admitted with genuine worry.
"Do you think she won't be loyal to the alliance?" Gabby asked nervously.
"Guess we'll find out." Ellie tapped her chin in thought.
"Hey girls." Priya smiled ecstatically as she walked by.
"Hey Priya, we were just waiting to discuss who to eliminate." Gabby smiled.
"I prefer if we vote off Bowie. Guy's a menace in the game." Priya said angrily.
"Actually, we were all thinking about voting for Damien. Bowie's more useful in challenges and as you said, Damien literally chickened out of today's challenge." Ellie said firmly.
"I thought you said we could handle ourselves. Bowie's kind of a flop most of the time anyway. We don't need him." Priya said in annoyance.
"Are you saying you won't vote with us?" Ellie asked in shock.
"I'm saying we should make it an easy vote and eliminate that obnoxious twig." Priya replied with narrowed eyes.
"Well… we'll think about it." Ellie said angrily.
"I trust you have enough common sense to realize who's the bigger threat." Priya said in annoyance before walking off.
Confessional: Ellie
"Voting for Bowie means Priya could easily have all the boys on her side. No way in hell can I let that happen." Ellie said angrily.
Confessional: Priya
"I can't vote Damien out. My connections with him, Millie, and even Caleb who's not even here means more to me than this game. Last time I voted him out in season two, I got screwed over by Julia and the Hockey Bros. Never again!" Priya said firmly.
Confessionals End
"The girls have been gone for a long time." Aiden said solemnly as he and the rest of the boys sat by the fire, "Do you think they're up to something?"
"Ellie and Priya are some of the most strategic players here. What do you think?" Bowie asked stoically.
"Wait. Does that mean they could have formed an alliance to vote one of us off?" Damien asked sadly.
"Probably." Tom sighed.
"Don't worry. I have a plan on how to deal with this. In the meantime, vote for Priya." Bowie smirked in reassurance.
"What?! I can't vote her off! She's my friend…" Damien cried out in shock.
"From the way she treated you and from what you told me, she is not in the right headspace to be here. We have to get her out." Bowie reminded the nerd.
"Yeah… I've noticed Priya's behavior too, Damien. Trust me, it's for the best that she leaves." Tom said softly.
"I'm sorry, but I can't vote for her. Not after everything she's been through." Damien crossed his arms before walking off.
"Well there he goes. Now what?" Aiden sighed miserably.
"Relax. I think I know how we can work through this." Bowie smirked confidently which unnerved Tom and Aiden.
We then cut to the Cyan Team at the campfire where Kristal began speaking along with Chef.
"Team Cyan, welcome to your first elimination. Love to see your returning faces." Kristal said happily.
"Priya, Ellie, Gabby, Tess. You all ran into Miriam and fell for her sympathy ploy. That was pathetic." Chef shook his head in disapproval. Ellie noticeably growled as she clenched her fists but once Gabby placed her hand on her's with a smile, she immediately calmed down and smiled.
"Tom and Aiden, the two of you ran into a shark and wasted time for your team." Chef lectured the duo.
"How is that our fault?!" Aiden scoffed.
"And Damien, you refused to go in the caverns because you were too scared." Chef crossed his arms.
"Yeah! Because I didn't want to be mauled by a shark!" Damien said angrily.
"Let's just get this vote over with." Kristal said with a roll of her eyes.
Voting: Bowie
"I'm sorry about what you had to go through." Bowie sighed as he held up a Priya ballot, "But I will not let you hold back the team."
Voting: Damien
"I vote for Ellie. Sorry girl, but you're the only option." Damien sighed solemnly as he held an Ellie ballot.
Voting: Priya
"The girls better not be voting against Damien tonight or things will not end well for our alliance. I vote for Bowie." Priya said angrily as she held up a Bowie ballot.
Voting: Ellie
Ellie just writes down on her ballot with an annoyed look on her face.
Voting Ends
"Once the votes are read, the decision is final." Kristal smirked as she held the voting urn, "The person voted out will have to leave immediately. First vote…"
Priya and Damien shared a worried look, Tom and Aiden shared a skeptical look, Gabby turned to Ellie in worry who just raised an eyebrow at the urn, Tess looked at the urn sadly, and Bowie just glared ahead.
"Bowie."
Bowie was not surprised by this.
"Priya."
Priya's eyes widened at this.
"Ellie."
Ellie's eyes also widened in surprise and Priya raised a skeptical eyebrow.
"Priya."
"That's two votes for Priya, one vote for Ellie, one vote for Bowie." Kristal interrupted happily.
"Bowie."
Bowie raised another eyebrow at this vote wondering how this was possible.
"Priya."
Priya began growing nervous at the amount of votes she was
"The second person voted out of Total Disventure All Stars is…" Kristal smirked as Priya widened her eyes in horror while Bowie and Ellie just smirked in relaxation.
"Priya."
"What… but how is this possible? I-I was in the girls' alliance and-" Priya began stammering before glaring at Ellie, "YOU! I knew you couldn't be trusted!"
"Don't give her all the credit." Damien stood in between the two, "Bowie convinced everyone else to vote you out… everyone except me."
"Damien… you… but why? After the way I treated you I thought you'd be more willing to do so." Priya asked in shock.
"Yeah, well I guess my friendship with you means more to me than some angry words." Damien rolled his eyes good naturedly.
"Aw." Priya said happily before hugging Damien, "Thanks for being there for me despite my outbursts."
"Well isn't this a shocker. From a two-time final four competitor to the second boot. Priya, it's time to go." Kristal told the trainer.
Priya sighed before sadly smiling and letting go of Damien before walking off.
Sendoff Confessional: Priya
"Going home early after two deep runs is pretty disheartening but after all that I've been through in these type of reality shows, I think I could use a break." Priya chuckled.
Sendoff Confessional Ends
We then see Priya make it to the bus stop as she smirks and winks at the camera before the bus drives by and picks her up.
Confessional: Damien
"Somehow I can't help but blame myself for this, now Priya's gone and it's all my fault. I broke the one promise I made to Millie and now… I don't know where to go from there." Damien sighed.
Confessional: Bowie
"On paper, this was always going to be an easy vote but somehow this made me feel guiltier than my usual strategies but it had to be done. This is the best thing for Priya. She can't continue to be pressured by these reality shows. Today I lost an enemy, and now I need to find out who voted for me." Bowie said angrily.
Confessionals End
Author's Note: Like many probably predicted, Priya was an easy second boot for me. I decided to showcase a flashback of what happened between her and her parents as well as build up more of a friendship between her and Damien but in the end, she was an easy boot for me to make. As for who voted for Bowie, well I'll let you speculate that.
