A/N: Welcome to China, home of one of the more controversial eliminations in World Tour. Hopefully this one isn't so bad.
Niagara Falls is shown with the tightrope and platforms from last episode, including the contestants on the right side, and a security box containing Chef on the left. "Last time on Total Drama World Tour." Alejandro and Sasquatchnakwa running over Noah and Eva, as well as Tyler grabbing onto the tightrope, and Topher stomping on his hand sending him into the falls was shown. "Our newly wed couples fell hard for Niagara Falls." Xena falling into a turtle pool full of chocolate pudding as well as Tyler looking sheepish is shown. "With the teams dissolved alliances were tested." Jo yelling at Brick is shown. "A few tempers too."
Topher is shown on top of the fake waterfall and barrel on stage. Then Alejandro is shown talking to him. "With the arrival of Topher things were shaken up as Alejandro was convinced to vote off Tyler with the help of his own alliance."Then Tyler is shown jumping out of the plane, and Xena is shown in the confessional.
Chris and Chef are shown in the cockpit."With Xena's only friend out of the competition who know what'll happen? Who will win? who will lose? Find out, On Total! Drama! Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!"
Intro
A stage light pops up in front of the CN tower, we switch to the interior of the plane as another light pops out of the ceiling, outside the plane a camera pops out of the engine startling a raccoon, we see a suitcase pop open and a clap board is used. The camera moves through first class passing a drink cart on the way and causing Chris to jump out of the aisle.
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;
(Chef is in the cockpit, the cook gives the camera glare as it passes through. The camera moves past several baggage 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)
The episode proper begins in first class where Brick and Jo are eating cake. Brick seems to be considering his words carefully, while Jo shoves cake down her mouth quickly. Behind the bar Max steals a slice of wedding cake before ducking out of sight.
"So, we make a great team." Brick began.
"Sure, whatever." Jo said quickly before returning to eating.
"And I've come to respect you quite a lot since we started out. While I stand by what I said at the beginning of the season, I concede that perhaps my words were not representative of everyone in the cast." The cadet said.
"Oh duh." The jockette noted eating more cake.
"What I'm trying to say is I think we should continue working together." Brick continued. "And I've become… rather fond of you."
Jo froze like a deer in headlights before shoving the rest of her cake into her mouth so she couldn't talk and exited first class.
Brick sighed. "Why can't I get through?"
[confessional]
Jo: Look, I know how it seems, but… its not. It can't be. Falling in love makes you weak, and I'm not a weak person. I will not allow a guy to distract me from winning. Not when I've made it to the merge for the third season in a row. I got eliminated before, and I won't let it happen again. This year the prize is mine. [She sighed] Besides if the guys at the gym saw me lose over a guy I'd never hear the end of it.
Static
In economy class, Noah, Eva, and Alejandro sit on the left bench while Anne Maria, Topher and Xena sit on the right. Notably Xena is sitting on the other end of the bench from the other two.
Anne Maria is currently talking to Topher. "So then I was like, you're just jealous of how hot I am, and she was like, oh no I'm not, why would I be jealous of an oompa loompa? And I was like oh no you didn't-"
"Will you please shut up!" Eva snapped from the other bench. "Ever since he got here you've both been insufferable!"
"Oh Sorry I don't listen to girls who can even be bothered to pluck their unibrow? Like seriously, the rest of us shouldn't have ta deal with that ugly caterpillar on your forehead!" Anne Maria scoffed. Topher burst out laughing.
Eva glared. "I'll show you who's ugly-"
"Eva, while I would love to watch you beat Anne Maria into a pulp…" Noah paused. "Actually I can't think of a reason for you not to."
"How about the fact that it could cause her to be eliminated?" Alejandro pointed out. "Besides Eva, you have no need to worry about what she says. Yours is a beauty that not everyone can comprehend."
Anne Maria scoffed yet again. "Whatever." The focus shifted to Xena watching on intently.
[Confessional]
Xena: Now that the merge is here I have to strategize. Aside from myself, three distinct groups have formed. Jo and Brick, Alejandro, Noah, and Eva, and Anne Maria and Topher. Of the three I consider Jo and Brick the least threatening, while both will be good at physical challenges, Jo's emotional duress makes their bond tenuous at best. Alejandro's group is the largest, but Eva is quite temperamental. Moreover I could easily use that size to my advantage by voting with them. Which leaves Topher and Anne Maria. The two are on good terms, and Topher has extensive knowledge of the game…
Static
Topher is in the cargo hold talking to Max. "You couldn't have snuck me a slice of cake?" He sighed.
"Of course not. I'm evil." Max replied. "That's not important. I don't know the details of the next challenge, but I can tell you this. Don't choose the skateboard or bicycle."
"Okay…good to know." Topher smirked.

A map shot fades into the contestants standing before the great wall of China. Chris arrived. "Ni Hao, welcome to China, a vast country rich in history, culture, innovation, and delicious sauces. Our first challenge is torn from the pages of her rich history. In 18 million B. Dim sum led a battalion of donkey warriors down this very great wall."
"Who is doing your research?! That's complete nonsense!" Noah snapped.
"I concur, there were still dinosaurs in eighteen million B.C. it was far too early in civilization for a structure like this to be built." Xena agreed.
"Yeah what she said." Chris said, brushing her off.
"We've supplied a selection of vehicles to race to our mystery destination. They're first come first serve, it's the Chinese way." Chris continued. The focus shifted to show the 'vehicles' as were a Donkey, rickshaw, bike, tricycle, pogo stick, skateboard, roller skates, and some clogs.
"Ready, set," Everyone crouched down to prepare for the race when Chris' phone went off, the ringtone was recognizable as the Total Drama theme song. "I better get this. McLean here. Yeah I'm trying to do a show here?"
"Are we going or what?!" Eva complained.
"Uhmm Yeah." Chris said into his phone.
"Yeah, we go?" Alejandro asked.
"Yeah, can we do this later?"
"So we are going?" Brick frowned.
"Okay fine!" The contestants ran off. "Hey who said you could go! Well you better watch out because there's a couple of things was gonna warn you about-" At this point Chris smiled. "But forget it." He chuckled.
On the great wall everyone is vying for the lead. Xena is near the back, with Anne Maria and Topher ahead of her, then Alejandro ahead of them, with Brick, Eva, and Jo in the lead. Eva has Noah flung over her shoulder.
"That Bike is mine!" Jo declared.
"Over my dead body!" Eva snapped.
[Confessional]
Eva: Anne Maria's already gotten me in a bad mood. I'm not losing to Jo on top of that!
Static
"Please, you wanna get ahead, you gotta play dirty!" Jo smirked, kicking Eva in the shin.
Eva fell to the ground. "When I get my hands on you, you're dead!"
[Confessional]
Jo: She'd never get the chance.
Static
"Don't you think that was a bit much?" Brick asked.
"You play your way, I'll play mine." The jockette replied. Both stopped at the bicycle. "Don't think I'll hold back just because we're working together."
"We don't need to fight. You can have the bike." Brick told her.
"Really? You're just gonna give it to me?" Jo asked.
"I can find another." The cadet said.
The jockette smirked and got on the bike. "Your loss!" She said as she rode off. The focus shifted outwards as Brick's eyes snapped over to Alejandro as he kicked the skateboard into his hands and caught it easily.
(Confessional)
Alejandro: Have I mentioned I won a medal at the South American skate Olympics?
Static
Brick looked over at the trike to find Topher was already riding off on it. Xena is currently lacing up the rollerskates. Noah's on the donkey while Anne Maria's got hold of the pogo stick. Eva on the other hand is already running off, dragging the rickshaw behind her. Which left Brick with the clogs. He sighed.
/
Jo and Alejandro are neck and neck. "Give it up Al!" The jockette said.
"I don't think so, it would be a hit to my pride to lose to someone like yourself." Alejandro smirked.
"Yeah? Well losing to a pretty boy would definitely suck!" Jo stuck her tongue out.
Alejandro started to get ahead. As Jo watched he moved forward. "What is that?!" She questioned as they approached something made of clay. Alejandro easily flipped over it
.
Chris flew in on his red helicopter. "Hey, you wanna know what else the Chinese invented?" he asked. Jo ran into the clay thing.
The focus shifted back along the wall to show Noah and Eva going down the wall the iron woman is ahead. Then a large orange explosion went off further down the wall. "What's that?"
"Looks like an explosion. Guess we'll have to keep an eye out." Noah said. "Why exactly did you choose the rickshaw?"
"Because even pulling this thing I'm going faster than that Donkey you're riding, and that stupid pogo stick." Eva said.
"You have a point, but it's going to make avoiding whatever's causing those explosions a lot harder." The cynic pointed out.
"Like an explosive is gonna take me down." Eva rolled her eyes.
/
Further ahead Alejandro continues to move forward on his skateboard. Jo rides up on her bike passing him. "Thought you lost me did you?" Jo taunted.
Alejandro put on speed. "I did lose you. Too bad you had to find me again."
"Like I'm gonna let you go so easily!" Jo declared. At that moment a bolt of her bike came loose and sent her front wheel flying. "What?!"
"Looks like that explosion did some damage." Alejandro smirked. It quickly faded when the skateboard he was on split in half. "Well that's unfortunate."
Topher rode by them with a laugh. "Bad luck! See you later!"
"I'm not letting that pest get away!" Jo snapped, running after him.
Alejandro looked closely at his skateboard. "This break isn't natural. It's too clean. Someone tampered with it."
[Confessional]
Topher: Looks like Max sabotaged the two best vehicles. Good thing he warned me.
Static
Max: A loose screw here, a hairline cut there, and suddenly you've lost your advantage. [He cackled.]
Static
Further back on the wall Brick is struggling to get anywhere fast. He does seem to be making okay time. Anne Maria is not all that far ahead.
/
Xena roller skates over to the wreckage of the bike and skateboard. She smirked and grabbed several screws to place down on the wall pointed side up. Then she moved on.
/
Eva and Noah are both heading up the wall at a decent pace when they reach the wreckage Xena was just at. Eva ran over it just fine, but Noah wanted to be more cautious. Sadly, he couldn't get his donkey to stop in time and it stepped down on one of the screws Xena had set up. It let out a loud cry and began to run forward at top speed. Soon, Noah was screaming as he held on for dear life. The donkey bumped into Eva's rickshaw as it ran past, causing the iron woman to run into a mine.
/
Topher is still riding on his trike in the lead, but both Alejandro and Jo are running not far behind. "You guys tired yet?" The blonde taunted.
"Please, I was in a triathlon. This is nothing." Jo scoffed.
"With my physique do you really think I'd have trouble with this of all things?" Alejandro smirked.
"Look out!" Noah screamed. With quick movements Alejandro and Jo dodge the runaway donkey. "Stop please, stop!" He told the donkey but it didn't comply, running directly into a landmine, sending both Noah and the Donkey into the air where Noah finally let go.
/
In the air Chris is shown calling out of the helicopter from his megaphone. "Anyone who survives, meet me at the finish! He turns to the audience. "There's more bombs to come, plus free fortune cookies with every take out entree. Right here on Total Drama World Tour!" As he finishes Noah flies past the Helicopter screaming.
/
The episode resumes with Chris on just the other side of the finish line to the race across the great wall of China. "Welcome back to Total Drama where our contestants are in a mega tough race down the great wall of-" Before Chris could finish his introduction a high pitched scream rang out, and then Noah slammed into Chris sending both to the floor of the wall. He groaned loudly.
"Are you kidding me?!" The focus shifted a bit down the wall where Topher, Alejandro and Jo are. It's clear Jo is the speaker. "I lost to scrawny?!"
"And you're about to lose again." Alejandro said with a smirk, picking up speed.
"Oh no you don't! I am not getting third!" Jo snapped running after him.
Topher put on some speed with his trike. In the end though, he still crossed after Alejandro and Jo due to his lack of strength. It's too close to tell between Alejandro and Jo.
"Yeah! Take that Al!" Jo declared loudly.
"You are loco. I clearly beat you." Alejandro retorted.
"I'm pretty sure I won, considering I'm the only one with a vehicle." Topher smirked.
Chris finally got back to his feet. Alejandro turns to him. "May we check the photo finish?"
"What show do you think you're on? Besides, it doesn't matter what order you all got here in, or whether or not you have a vehicle." Chris said.
"What?!" Topher, Jo, and Alejandro, all said.
"If you had waited for me to finish the rules, anybody who makes it over the line before the gong rings gets to join me for a very special lunch. Aka the next part of the competish." Chris explained.
"I still got second though." Alejandro claimed.
"Please." Jo scoffed.
That was when Xena arrived on her roller skates. "Ah, I seem to be in fifth place. Do I still qualify for the next challenge?"
"Yep, though I hope the rest arrive soon." Chris smirked.
Brick and Anne Maria are both headed down the wall. The jersey reject hit into a mine, sending both her and the cadet into the gong.
Brick whimpered. "I've had military exercises less punishing than walking in these shoes."
Chris chuckled. "Well that's, that, guess everyone but Eva made it."
"Where is Eva?" Alejandro asked.
"Last I saw her the runaway donkey sent her into a mine." Noah groaned.
/
The contestants are now seated at a long table with a cream colored cloth and dark red trim. Around them are several red hanging lights. A painting of what appears to be a noble woman wearing white face paint is to the left along with a large white vase with a blue dragon on it, and a potted red tree. to the right is a painting of a tree branch with white blossoms on it. Several more potted red trees are scattered in the background.
"To win today, you'll have to eat more than everyone else at this totally awesome Chinese restaurant." Chris began.
"You call that a challenge? Chinese food is great." Anne Maria smirked.
Except, this is the world's most authentic Chinese restaurant. You'll be enjoying real street food delicacies." Alejandro looked concerned. "Deep fried grasshoppers, kung pow larvae," Alejandro nearly puked at that one.
"Oh yeah. I forgot Al's got a weak stomach." Jo said, the smirk on her face indicating that she had not.
"Watch what you're saying. I worked on my tolerance over the break." The Spaniard glared.
Chris' phone went off again. This time the host seemed really annoyed as he answered the phone. "Yo, it's McLean. Yeah, I'm trying to make a show here?" Chris walked off to take his phone call.
"I hope it isn't Eva. Her ugly mug would make stomaching anything harder." Anne Maria laughed. Topher high fived her.
A low growl could be heard as the focus zoomed out to show Eva standing next to them covered in mud. "I heard that! You wanna go home in a body bag?!" The Iron Woman said. Brick and Alejandro both had to hold her back.
"Eva, if you beat her up you may get eliminated." Alejandro whispered.
"It'd be worth it!" Eva said.
Brick winced. "What is that stench?"
"I landed in a pig pen and got snouted. It's a good thing I have a strong stomach." Eva said.
"Really?" Alejandro smirked.
Chris has returned to the table and is hanging up irately. He quickly composes himself. "Okay, you have to eat each bowl of delish food, opening your mouth to prove it went down. If you're last to finish, or you puke, you go sit with Eva on the loser bench."
"Call me a loser again. I dare you!" Eva snapped.
Placed before them were bowls of some unknown cube of meat. Brick nervously poked his. "What is it?" She frowned.
At that moment the musical ding was heard. "Allow me to begin today's number." Chris announced.
(Song twenty-two. A Chinese lesson.)
Colored clouds sweep across the screen. When they clear it reveals Chris against a background with a light yellow sky and several purple mountains. Chris himself is wearing a blue and red robe, a fancy headdress, red face paint with white face paint around the eyes, and a long fake beard the same color as his hair.
Chris: A little Chinese lesson, for you. Manman chi means "enjoy your meal.
The seven contestants in the eating competition are shown against the same background, floating in the air sitting cross legged. The table floats up in front of them with the bowls of cubed meat.
Every contestant except Eva: Manman chi. It's no raw deal.
Noah:I won't enjoy this meal.
"It's donkey meat. Local delicacy." Chris explained.
"Easy." Jo smirked. She popped the donkey meat into her mouth and swallowed. Then she stuck her tongue out. "Done."
Alejandro came up from under the table. "Dropped by chopsticks." He also stuck his tongue out.
Noah, Brick and Xena all ate theirs, though Noah and Brick looked a little guilty.
Topher and Anne Maria worked to eat their meat, and in the end Topher finished last.
"Topher you're out. Loser bench!" Chris announced. The blonde moaned and sat down next to Eva, who was chewing.
The next dish was a bowl of worms. Chef sat one in front of the remaining five contestants. "Hah! Worms? No problem." Jo smirked.
The colorful cloud transition takes us to the next verse of the song. The same background appears behind Chris, who is still dressed as before.
Chris: "Manman chi means "bon appétit."
The table floated up, now with the bowls of worms on it, as the remaining six contestants sang.
Everyone but Topher and Eva: "Manman chi. What do we have to eat?"
Anne Maria: This looks worse than the meat!
"Live mealworms. Local delicacy." Chris claimed.
Pretty much everyone gagged, except Jo who easily finished hers. "Hah! This is nothing!" She opened her mouth and stuck her tongue out.
Alejandro ducked under the table again. "Sorry I'm not good with chopsticks. They just keep slipping." He came back up and stuck his tongue out.
Noah and Xena finished next, leaving Anne Maria and Brick. In the end Anne Maria puked.
"Anne Maria, you're out. Loser bench!" Chris told her.
The Jersey reject deliberately puked on his shoes. Then she sat down next to Topher. "Whatever, I didn't want to eat more of that nasty stuff anyway." Anne Maria said.
"Yeah, this is where all the cool people are." Topher smirked.
The colorful clouds transition to the next verse of the song. The same background appears behind Chris, who is still culturally appropriating China.
Chris: Manman chi. It's dinner for five
The table floated up, now with the bowls containing a single starfish on a skewer, as the remaining five contestants sang.
Alejandro, Jo, Xena, Brick, and Noah: Manman chi. How are we still alive?
Brick: This round I won't survive!
"Starfish on a skewer. Local delicacy." Chris smirked
Everyone shuddered again, save Jo who finished first as usual. Alejandro ducked under the table again, then came back up holding his hair tie. "I don't know why I'm having such trouble today." He stuck his tongue out.
Xena and Noah finished theirs before Brick. "Brick, you're out loser bench!" Chris called to him. Noah puked. "And it looks like Noah's out too."
Both boys sat down next to the others. Brick blinked. "Eva? What are you eating?"
"What does it matter to you?" Noah scoffed.
Brick looked a little suspicious.
The next course was set in front of the remaining three. It was a bowl of some green mush with an eyeball and tentacles sticking out.
"Yeah we don't even know what that's called. It ain't right whatever it is." Chris said.
The colorful clouds transition to the next verse of the song. The same background appears behind Chris, and he is still in the outfit.
Chris: Manman chi. Don't get the squirts.
The table floated up, now with the bowls containing the green mush with tentacle and eyeball, as the remaining three contestants sang,
Jo,Xena, and Alejandro: Manman chi. We'd rather eat our shirts!
"I think we should be alert." Xena finished. "After all Alejandro has been ducking under the table after every course."
"I've merely been grabbing things I've dropped." Alejandro defended.
Chris' phone went off again. The host answered, now extremely irate. "Listen man-" That was all they heard as the host walked off.
"Perhaps I would believe that if it hadn't happened thrice. That is a bit much to be coincidence." Xena pointed out.
"Yeah! I thought it was strange that Al made it this far!" Jo said.
"Not to mention Eva's been chewing. " Brick said. Where would she have gotten food from?"
Jo stormed over to Chris "Chris what are you gonna do about Alejandro's cheating?!"
"Yeah, okay, budget blah, blah, blah. What am I supposed to do?" The host was telling whoever was on the phone.
"Host the show!" Jo snapped.
Noah walked over with a sigh. "I know I'm currently a contestant, but I've worked with the producers before."
"Fine, if you can get them to lay off!" Chris told the cynic, handing the phone to him.
Chris hung up irately. "Alejandro is slipping his food to Eva!"
"It is a lie!" Alejandro claimed.
"Listen, we gotta wrap this up. So here's the dealio. One last round. Whoever wins has invincibility from tonight's vote and they get to take the person of their choice up to first class with them." Chris said.
"And Alejandro's cheating?" Brick asked.
Chris pulled out a dragon mask. "Eva put this mask on to prove you can keep your mouth shut." He tossed it to the Iron woman.
"Let's get this done." Chris said.
The colorful clouds transition to where the song left off. The table floats up again. still holding the green mush with tentacle and eyeball.
Jo, Xena, and a much less enthused Alejandro: Manman chi. Manman chi-i-i.
Chris: They love to eat on The Yangtze. Manman chi. Manman chi.
Alejandro puked, Jo and Xena were both eating as quickly as they good. In the end…
Xena stood up and presented her empty bowl. "I have won as you can see, first class is where I'll be."
"And in a close finish Xena wins immunity!" Chris declared.
"In other news, I've worked things out with the producers." Noah smirked.
"Really? How'd you do it?" The host asked.
"I'll tell you on the plane." The cynic smirked.
[confessional]
Xena: How did I finish before Jo? A combination of willpower and ingenuity. [She popped a breath mint into her mouth.] Seriously Alejandro, if you're going to cheat, be subtle.
/
Everyone is in line to vote in the confessional. Eva turned to Alejandro and Noah. "I want her gone!"
"She has been a distraction today. And if we vote her out it'd put Topher at a disadvantage." Noah pointed out.
"Very well then. Much as I'd rather eliminate Jo, I am clearly in the minority." Alejandro agreed.
Behind them Xena is listening intently.
/
Chris began his schpeal. "Okay, let's get this done quickly. One of you is going off the plane, you voted, yada yada."
"Let's see, two votes for Alejandro, two votes for Eva, and four votes for..." Chris paused for dramatic effect. "Anne Maria!"
"What?!" Topher and Anne Maria cried out.
"That's what you get for insulting me!" Eva snapped.
"Ugh! Whatever, none of you deserve my presence anyway!" Anne Maria said.
"Hey." Topher frowned.
"Sorry, except you. I was jus' upset." The jersey reject said.
"I'm gonna miss you." Topher said.
"At least you're still in, so you'd better win this for me." Anne Maria said. She grabbed the parachute from Chris and walked to the door. "And one more thing. This show just lost most of its fabulousness!" With that she jumped out of the plane.
[confessional]
Xena: I did mention earlier voting with the majority would only be to my benefit. The fact that voting out Anne Maria is a brilliant way of getting rid of Topher has nothing to do with it.
Static.
Chris turned to everyone still sitting in the elimination room. "Xena who will you be taking to first class?"
"Brick." The over logical girl said.
"What?!" Jo snapped.
"Fine." Chris nodded, then he smirked at the contestants."The producers are breathing down my neck, and I'm getting a lot of flack on this budget stuff. Luckily Noah managed to broker a deal with them. First off, to speed up eliminations there will be no more reward challenges!" Protests came from several contestants. "And secondly, the next challenge is going to be a double elimination!" He laughed. "That's right this show got way harder!"
The host turned to the camera. "How much longer will our contestants last? How will we implement our double elimination? Will Jo kill Xena for taking her crush to first class?"
"Not my crush!" Jo protested.
Chris smirked. "The answers to some of these questions next time. On Total! Drama! Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~"
A/N: Okay so I suppose I should explain a few things. Basically, I've always hated the fact that there's a random reward challenge in the middle of the merge. It doesn't even do anything. So I got rid of it. As for why I moved the double elimination to next challenge. Well you'll see when we get there. As for why Anne Maria? It's to show that Xena is going to be using logic to justify her actions, even though they are fueled by emotion. Topher got rid of her friend, so she gets rid of his. It's still a logical move, but the emotions are playing into it. Anyway. I do think this a good chapter, but not too much of note happened. Which isn't too dissimilar to the actual episode. Still, Jo and Brick teamed up against Alejandro's cheating. Eva let her anger get the best of her. Xena did something villainous, and cheated in her own way. , Mint numbs the taste buds, which was why she was able to eat her final dish faster than Jo. Noah finally won a race, albeit by being flung into the air via donkey, and Max made his first move. Sabotaging the two best vehicles for the race.
