The camera fades in to reveal Camp Wawanakwa, with the classic Chris Mclean getting ready to recap the events of the last episode.
"Last time, on Total Drama, Tensions were high after Zhang revealed all the terrible things he did to Jade and the others. Even going so far as to mock other contestants."
Flashback to Zhang pretending to be Bryce as Jade watched angrily.
"But the real kicker was when Zhang revealed he stole Jade's idol. And everyone was furious. So in response, the other 5 contestants devised a plan to flush his idol out. Which was to make sure Zhang didn't win immunity."
Flashback to everyone talking inside the cabin.
"Unfortunately, this would mean that Zhang would get the sole vote at elimination, and everyone went along with the plan, despite knowing the risks. At the challenge, we hosted a music performance show, where everyone would play music, and the highest score won immunity."
Flashback to the stage opening.
"Andrea chose the Drums, Jade chose the electric guitar, Zhang chose the piano, Logan and Starr decided to do a duet, and Harmony chose a violin."
Flashback to the contestants picking their instruments.
"Harmony and Andrea devised a plan to make sure Zhang wouldn't win immunity. Harmony took Andrea's fog machine that she would have used as a stage prop, and turned it on right when Zhang went up to play the piano. Long story short, Zhang definitely didn't win."
Flashback to Zhang coughing and rubbing his eyes in the fog.
"At the end of the performances, Harmony was the one with the best performance, and she won immunity. Meaning that their plan had worked."
Flashback to Harmony winning immunity.
"Before elimination, Starr and Logan shared some… heartfelt comments towards each other, and the two officially started dating. Unfortunately, Zhang watched the whole thing unfold, and he brewed a new plan in his head."
Flashback to Zhang looking at Starr and Logan.
"At the elimination ceremony, everyone voted for Zhang, much to their dismay. And Zhang used his idol to save himself, therefore sending the person with the 2nd highest amount of votes home. Which happened to be Starr, who Zhang voted for because he wanted to break the new couple up. So sad. "
Flashback to Starr walking down the Dock of Shame.
"Now that we're down to our final five competitors, how will a new challenge shake things up? How mad will Logan be at Zhang? And who will be eliminated from the game today? Find out on this all new episode of Total, Drama, Island!"
Camera Fades out.

Cabin: Boy's Side - 8:00 AM
Both boys were inside the cabin. On one side, Zhang slept rather peacefully in his bunk. But the camera quickly panned to the other side, to reveal Logan staring at him, this was the maddest Logan had ever gotten in a long, long time.
Logan tapped his foot loudly against the floor of the cabin, he didn't care if it was impolite, either. All he could think about was one thing.
(Confessional: Logan)
"Starr! How could this happen!? I would've thought that Andrea would get the boot, but no! It had to be her, huh!?"
Logan shouted the last few words, you could sense the anger radiating from him.
"Oh, he's going down, tonight."
(End confessional: Logan)
Back in the cabin, Logan decided that it would be better to get food from the mess hall than to sit around and watch Zhang sleep in, which was rather unusual for him. Logan put on his shoes and left without further thought.
Zhang immediately opened his eyes, and it was revealed that he was merely pretending to be asleep. He sat up and quietly exited the cabin after him, but turned into the woods instead.
(Confessional: Zhang)
"Chances are that the Chris Head has been re-hidden in the forest. I need to find that, and then I should be able to get to the final three if I can win the challenge today."
Zhang put a hand to his chin in thought.
"Obviously they're going to try and sabotage me again, especially the lovesick one, but now I'm prepared."
(End confessional: Zhang)
—-
In the woods, Zhang searched furiously through the brush for something, anything that could help him, when he found nothing, he moved to the grove of knothole trees that were off to his right.
He searched through every last knothole he could find within almost a mile in every direction, but there was nothing of interest.
Lastly, he moved over to search through the leaves around the riverbank, but he came up empty handed.
Now, all muddy and sopping wet, Zhang stood up and huffed as he attempted to brush himself off, but his suit was covered in brown mud stains. He looked furious as he stormed off towards the mess hall.
At the mess hall, everyone ate in cold silence, Logan sat alone, although Harmony wanted to comfort him, Andrea made her stay where she was seated.
"Trust me, he won't want it." Was all she said when pressed further.
Jade stared at Logan cautiously, waiting for him to say something, but she eventually turned to Andrea. "We're going with the same plan, right?" Jade asked her, and she nodded.
"Except this time, we're voting him off when he loses." Andrea told Jade and Harmony. "Without that stupid little idol to save him, if he doesn't win, it's bye-bye Zhang."
"He's probably looking for it." Harmony explained to Andrea. "What if he finds it again, then we'll be stuck in a cycle, and I don't want that to happen-"
"He's not." Logan interrupted her, causing all three girls to turn towards Logan in surprise. "I was just in the cabin with him, and he was fast asleep."
But he was wrong, just then, Zhang barged into the Mess Hall violently, looking more disgruntled than ever, his face all sweaty, he stole a plate of slop from Chef, and began eating at a far away table.
Harmony turned to Logan, now annoyed. "If he was so asleep, why is he covered in mud stains and sweat?" She asked him condescendingly.
Logan looked surprised at first as he watched Zhang plop down and begin eating, but he soon scoffed and crossed his arms.
"Guys, leave him alone, he's obviously had a tough time after Starr." Jade defended Logan. "The last thing he needs is to be spoken to like that."
"Don't tell me what to do." Andrea responded rudely to Jade as she ate her slop, Harmony on the other hand looked guilty. "You're right, I'm sorry, Logan." She apologized, and Logan uncrossed his arms.
Andrea rolled her eyes as Jade scowled at her deeper, but she eventually resigned her tough girl look. "Fine, whatever. We're sorry, Logan."
"-Save the sorry's for the challenge!" A voice rang through the Mess Hall, everyone turned around to see Chris, who was standing behind them this whole time.
"That's not creepy at all, we couldn't even see you." Andrea told Chris disapprovingly. But Chris merely shrugged it off, and laughed.
"That'll be the least of your worries when you see the challenge we cooked up for you today!" Chris said through laughter, and all the contestants gasped in fear.
"It'll be so dangerous, so deadly, so… heated! That-"
Chris was then interrupted by Chef, who walked up to Chris from the kitchen with a ringing phone. He handed the phone to Chris, who answered it with a groan.
"This is Chris McLean." The host said as somebody began talking indistinctly on the other end of the phone. Chris listened for a moment, before closing the phone with a huff.
"The network says we can't use the challenge." Chef told the contestants, "it's too dangerous-"
All the contestants relaxed for a moment, until the camera panned back to Chris, who was ripping apart the phone violently. Chef widened his eyes at the host, clearly not expecting that.
Chris tore the phone into tiny fragments, and then threw the pieces onto the floor, which skidded around like tiny grains of sand. "We're doing the challenge anyway." He said seriously.
Chef looked scared. "W-why!?" He asked Chris. "Even I think it's too much!"
"We spent too much money for that to simply go to waste, I'll talk to the network after the fact, but right now, I need everyone to follow me to the challenge site."
Harmony gulped as Chris led the 5 contestants out of the Mess Hall, and down a path.
(Confessional: Jade)
Jade sat in the confessional worriedly, anxious about what was next. "Chris says the challenge is supposed to be super dangerous. I think it's a load of baloney."
Jade tried to look tough by crossing her arms. But her wide eyes said otherwise.
(End confessional: Jade)
—-
Chris led the five campers through the woods to their next challenge, and they could see it even through the tops of the trees far before they even reached the challenge site.
Harmony widened her eyes in shock and curiosity as they approached the challenge. Logan and Jade walked next to each other slowly as the challenge came into view.
"What the heck is that?" Andrea asked herself quietly as they arrived.
The challenge in question was hidden inside a large, makeshift stadium built entirely of scrap metal and wood planks, it was massive, probably 150 feet long at its entrance, and probably 70 feet high, all entirely made of scrap.
As the campers filed out front of the stadium, large jets of fire spewed out the sides of the stadium and into the air, startling everybody.
"Gah! What the heck is this thing?" Harmony asked in confusion.
"How's it even standing, it looks like junk." Jade said.
"Is this even legal?" Andrea asked.
Chris ignored all the questions and started explaining the challenge. "This," he said as he pointed at the building, "is the Total Drama Drome! Built in a few days, so it's obviously not structurally stable."
Even looked at Chris wide-eyed, almost in amusement. The host scoffed as he put his hands on his hips, "it's amazing what four days and a lot of money can get ya' now this isn't where your challenge will take place."
"It's not?" Andrea asked.
Chris shook his head no. "Nope, the actual challenge takes place inside the Total Drama Drome. Follow me, please." Chris told the campers as he led them through the entrance.
Inside, it quickly got very very hot, and all the campers started to sweat profusely. And they immediately saw why.
Inside was covered in coarse dirt, with large saws on all four corners of the interior, the middle of the drome had a large grinder, with a pit underneath for whatever landed in the grinder. There were many steel ramps that littered the inside of the drome, and many pinball looking studs that were in rows on the end of the course.
"This is a death pit!" Logan yelled at Chris. "You can't seriously expect us to participate."
Chris turned to Logan, and held out a big remote with a red button. "Then you leave me no choice." Was all he said before he pressed the button, causing iron bars to come down over the entrances, locking everyone inside the drome.
"Your challenge objective is simple, gather the most points possible at the end of the challenge, you'll be seated in these cars," Chris started as he pointed to five large, new looking cars that were lined up at one end of the drome.
"These studs and ramps will help get you points, you'll drive into the studs, or over the ramps, and you'll definitely be knocked around. Each ramp you go over is 5 points, studs are 10, and if you manage to completely destroy someone else's car or if you manage to take yourself out, that's 50 points, so make sure to not trust anybody."
Chris turned around again to face the campers, putting the remote away. "The camper with the most points in 2 hours will win immunity. Losers are risking elimination."
Chris grinned suddenly, "we also have a special guest for this challenge. Please welcome in, classical competitor: Eva!"
Eva walked out from the shadows to face the contestants, she was stone faced, and arms crossed. Eying all the contestants as if they were in a boxing ring with her.
"Wow. I'm so scared." Zhang sarcastically said. And Eva's eyes locked onto him, she stormed up to Zhang, and grabbed him by the suit and tie.
"Oh, you should be scared!" Eva yelled at Zhang as he struggled to get away. "You're gonna be real scared when I rip your throat out!"
Logan and Harmony, despite their disdain for Zhang, rushed to help him, as Eva was now shaking him around like a ragdoll. The two tried to pry Zhang free from Eva, but to no avail.
Chris raised his hands in an attempt to cease the chaos. "Alright, alright! Everybody stop!"
Surprisingly, Eva did drop Zhang, who was going blue in the face, she walked over to Chris, and growled at the contestants. "Whoever wins, it better not be that guy!" She screamed at Zhang as she pointed a finger at him. Zhang merely crossed his arms with a scowl.
"Take your positions in your cars!" He gestured to the shiny, souped-up vehicles lined up along the starting line. Each car gleamed in the dim, smoky light.
Everybody started climbing into their cars, all five cars seemed to be Meyers Manx Dune Buggies. Logan climbed into his first with a clenched jaw, looking at the steering wheel. "These cars look pretty cool. Must've cost a fortune." He noted as he gripped the wheel.
Andrea, on the other hand, didn't like her car. She stood in front of it with her hands on her hips, eying the car disapprovingly. "There's no way these things will protect us from… whatever the heck those are!"
She pointed at a spinning saw that was resting in a corner.
"I guess just don't hit the saws, and you'll be just fine… probably." Chris told Andrea mockingly as he walked out of the main stadium field through a door.
"Wait, where are you going?" Andrea asked Chris quizzically as he started up a flight of stairs. Chris didn't stop, but he did answer her question. "Me and Eva will watch the challenge from the spectator's balcony above." His voice echoed as he left.
Andrea rolled her eyes angrily as she got into her car, she looked to her right, where Zhang was starting up his vehicle.
The camera panned to Zhang, who looked at Andrea as his car rumbled to life, he looked to his right, where Logan eyed Zhang menacingly as he started up his car.
As the engines rumbled to life, Chris and Eva appeared from the spectator's balcony high above the playing field. Chris took a megaphone from a rack and counted everyone down. "For immunity, on your marks… get set…"
"GOOOOOO!" Eva screamed into the megaphone as loudly as she could.
A loud air horn blared, and all the cars raced forward, except for one. Zhang remained still, not wanting to immediately be rammed by Logan, who was originally next to him.
His plan worked, and instantly after taking off, Logan veered to his left in his car, expecting Zhang to be right there, but instead he rammed right into an unsuspecting and very confused Andrea, and the cars rolled over.
Zhang grinned wickedly as he sat in his car, not moving. He was clearly enjoying the chaos.
Logan's collision with Andrea's car sent both buggies tumbling; they rolled several times before finally landing on their sides, leaving Andrea and Logan struggling to right themselves. Logan exited the car and stumbled over to lean on the hood, while Andrea crawled out of the car, enraged, and sprinted into Logan, screaming at him all the way.
"That could've killed me! Do you have any idea how stupid that was? You cracked my windshield! This is all your fault! How DARE you! We were supposed to be working together, clearly you were lying…!"
On and on her rant went, before a flying Jade sent both ducking for cover. Jade's car bounced a few times on the ground as she rammed into more studs, starting to rack up points.
40
50
60..
A few ramps added in there made her score total to 75 so far. And she seemed to be having fun, laughing and giggling as she bounced around in her buggy from stud to stud.
(Confessional: Jade)
"Ha! This'll be a piece of cake, nobody seems to even be moving!"
(End Confessional: Jade)
Harmony on the other hand, was much more scared, she barely even had a drivers license outside of the game, so she wasn't a very good driver yet.
She cautiously made her way across little ramps, earning meager but quick points. She passed by a bickering Logan and Andrea a few times, but she didn't want to pay any attention to them.
Harmony looked down as she went over a ramp that was a little bigger than she would have noticed, and she went flying into a stud, which sent her flying into other studs. Harmony screamed bloody murder as she was bounced around from stud to stud.
Logan finally righted his car up as Andrea shouted angry word salads to him. Logan gritted his teeth in frustration as he pushed his way through her, closed the car door, and started up the engine again.
"Excuse me, where do you think you're going!? I'm TALKING to you! Do you think you can just run from your problems?" Andrea ranted.
"Shut up!" Logan yelled at her through the car, and he sped off, leaving Andrea in the dust.
"Ooooh! And it looks like Logan is leaving the scene of the crash!" Chris taunted from the balcony. "How does it feel Andrea? Being… ignored?"
Andrea clenched her jaw as she got into her car. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?" She yelled at Chris as she started up her car again.
"Logan, you're going down." Andrea said quietly to herself as she started to speed off, but she was interrupted by Zhang t-boning her car and driving over it.
Turns out, he was waiting at the starting area next to where Andrea and Logan crashed the whole time. He laughed menacingly as he drove into a field of studs, and now he was on the point leaderboard.
80 points
90 points
100 points
He was now in 2nd place, only behind Jade. Who had 160 points. Harmony was in 3rd with 85.
Logan started driving into studs, and his car was sent into a pin-ball style frenzy across the field. Quickly reaching 100 points.
Inside the car, Logan felt like passing out from how quickly he was being thrown around, not even his seat belt could keep him firmly in his head as he was slammed around.
Jade sped around the stadium, hitting every single ramp and stud in sight. Her head hurt from being thrown around, but she didn't care, she was fully engrossed in the challenge, having a blast.
Andrea watched Jade fly around the field from her car, which by now was having trouble starting. Zhang appeared to have driven on top of the hood, possibly ruining the engine.
"God dang it!" Andrea yelled as she punched the windshield, completely blowing it out. Andrea rubbed her hurt hand, but she felt better emotionally.
"And it looks like Zhang gets 50 points for destroying Andrea's car!" Chris called out from the balcony.
Zhang smiled proudly. As he was now close to 200 points. He aimed right for Harmony, who gasped as she saw Zhang barreling towards her. Harmony thought quick though, and reversed into a row of studs right as Zhang was about to reach her, and she flew away from him.
Zhang grumbled in annoyance, and spun his car around in an attempt to pursue Harmony. The latter looked over her shoulder worriedly as Zhang chased after her. Swerving around Jade, who was going wherever she pleased.
"Wooooo hoo!" Jade howled as she slammed into another stub, Zhang took a quick mental note of her enjoyment, but his mind was quickly back on Harmony.
He pressed his body against the wheel as he sped up as fast as he could. He was soon going so fast after Harmony, that every time he turned, he risked his car rolling over and possibly into a saw.
"Get over here!" Zhang yelled at Harmony, although it was clear she wasn't going to hear him.
He was so focused on Harmony, that he didn't even notice Logan aim his car right for him, and hit his bumper, sending him skidding at an odd angle into the wall, which was connected to a ramp that sent Zhang flying to the other end of the stadium.
Logan's car took minimal damage, while Zhang was almost thrown from his seat. Luckily for him he was wearing a seat belt.
Zhang rolled off of the ramp, and his car landed right side up in front of a large saw. He looked around wildly, clearly confused by what was happening. But he soon connected the dots as he saw Logan gain speed in his car.
"And that was a brutal hit from Logan!" Chris narrated from the balcony. "Zhang is still in the game, but is wasting precious time, as Logan is already at 150 points!"
It was true, Logan was smashing back and forth between two studs at a very fast pace. Causing his score to go up by hundreds in a short notice, with the trade off of extensive car damage, the hood was now caved in.
Zhang clenched the wheel, eyes darting between the towering sawblade looming dangerously close and Logan's scoring spree. A car flew by him, but he was too busy regaining his barings to notice who it was.
"Alrighty then." Zhang angrily said to himself as he launched the car back into drive. "If you want to play that way, I'll play."
He sped off, catching sight of a smaller cluster of studs and ramming his car through them, quickly regaining lost points and some ground. His score climbed to 200 as he turned his attention back to the field, now eyeing Logan as his target instead of Harmony.
Logan was too fast for Zhang, though. Every time Zhang got anywhere close, Logan would juke him in his car, and then speed off to go collect more points. His latest score-stealing move had him over 250 points. Although with every hit, his car took another battering. The hood was a mess of crumpled metal, and smoke began trailing from the engine.
"Great, just what I need." Logan told himself cynically as he turned left and tried driving over a ramp. Although there were some… complications this time.
The mangled hood caught on the floor of the ramp as his car went over it, causing the whole car to lurch and screech as metal grated against metal. Logan's eyes widened as he fought to keep control, but the ramp jerked his car upward at an awkward angle. His battered vehicle skidded sideways off the top of the ramp and crashed down onto the track, landing with a loud crunch. Smoke billowed heavily from the engine, and the front axle groaned under the impact.
"Woah!" Logan said as the car lurched forward, his head was slammed into the steering wheel, but thankfully the airbag deployed, and his nose was saved from being broken. The airbag wasn't soft, however. And he was left with a sore face as he exited his broken car.
"And it looks like Logan is out of the running!" Eva said loudly through the megaphone. Although she looked annoyed that Zhang was still in the challenge.
Chris snatched the megaphone back from her, "but because he destroyed his own car, he gets 50 points as a goodbye reward, bringing his total to 300!"
Zhang hardened his face once again, as he was no longer in the lead. At least the competition was narrowing down for him, as only Jade and Harmony stood in his way of a victory.
Jade, meanwhile, was zipping across the field with a grin on her face, her score now at 220 as she hit another ramp. She let out a whoop as her car sailed through the air, landing with a smooth skid that lined her up perfectly to hit a series of three more studs in a row, rapidly bringing her to 250 points.
Zhang meanwhile, had a meager 185 points. He slammed the gas pedal, and went in for another quick stud-run, slamming his car against stud after stud, and he was thrown into the wall of the stadium, his battered car bounced off of it, and almost landed in the grinder in the middle of the drome.
Zhang quickly reversed, backing up into another stud, which sent him flying to the left. At least he had 255 points now, putting him back in the lead.
Andrea watched the chaos from a safe-area, she was thoroughly entertained from the violence in front of her, but she was clearly sour about being out of the challenge so soon.
It didn't help when Logan walked over to her, and tried to apologize. Logan approached Andrea with a sheepish expression, hands shoved into his pockets as he leaned slightly back, hoping to resolve her anger. "Look, Andrea, I didn't mean for things to go that way. I thought Zhang was next to me—didn't even see you there."
"So you throw your car into mine?" Andrea hissed at Logan. "I get you're going through a bad time because your girlfriend got eliminated, but that was just… ugh!"
Andrea bashed her hand against a metal railing, warping the metal. She winced in pain. Logan watched with a concerned expression, Logan sighed and put his hands on his hips. "I'm just saying, it wasn't personal. I was aiming for Zhang, not you. Honest mistake. I expected him to race ahead like everyone else, not stay still. I think he expected it."
Andrea rolled her eyes, clearly not caring much. "Obviously, he's smart like that. Why would you just not expect him to be careful? He knows we're trying to get him out."
"Look, I'll make it up to you somehow," Logan offered..
Andrea gave him one last piercing look, then sighed, "Okay. You can make it up to me like this! After we get Zhang out, which is tonight!"
She yelled the last word at Logan before continuing, "you're going to vote for whoever I say next time, got it?"
Logan put his hands into his left jean pocket. "Fine." He said shortly at Andrea. The latter smiled, "good, now-"
Andrea was interrupted by Jade, who's car flew against the railing, completely obliterating the metal and flinging it into the playing field. Jade's car immediately followed up by gliding into a ramp, and she flew left out of view.
"Jesus Christ!" Logan yelled as he cowered in the corner. Andrea ducked, barely missing a piece of metal flying her way as Jade's car went airborne, soaring off the ramp and landing somewhere off-screen.
Logan and Andrea peeked out from the mangled remains of the rail, still not completely sure if it was safe or not.
"Wow." Logan could only say.
—-
Back in the drome: Jade, who's score grew exponentially from 250 to 315, flew around the stadium wildly.
Harmony, who was playing incredibly quietly but still trying to win, noticed this, and she devised a plan to keep away from Jade, so as to not be smashed out of the challenge. She would stay on the opposite side of the stadium to Jade from now on, she'd already had 2 close calls earlier with her.
Harmony circled again to the opposite side of Jade, who was racking up more points on another forest of studs. Harmony drove over some ramps, and her score finally went above 190.
Unfortunately for Harmony, she landed against a stud, which sent her car flying into the side of a saw. Harmony's car slammed against the side of the saw with a loud screech, the metal scraping dangerously close as she tried to wrestle the wheel back into control. She was turned around, and the back end of her car was ripped off by the saw, leaving it with only 2 wheels.
"No!" Harmony yelled at the car in anger as it skidded to a stop. She smacked the wheel in frustration as she realized she was now completely immobilized. She looked around the drome, and slumped back in her seat, defeated.
From the balcony, Chris picked up the megaphone again and began narrating. "And it looks like Harmony is out of the challenge, if it's any consolation, she gets 50 points, because she destroyed her own car!"
Harmony's final score rests at 250, while Zhang had 315, and Jade had 330. Zhang trailed behind Jade, now completely locked onto her. Jade looked back at Zhang in her rearview mirror, fully knowing that he was onto her. She drove over a ramp to try and create more distance between them, but Zhang launched himself next to her using a stud.
Jade got angry, she veered to the left hard, but Zhang clipped her back wheel, making her spin out and over a ramp, where the car stalled for a moment. Zhang then aimed his car directly at Jade.
But…
Jade managed to get her car working again and reverse out of the way just in time, sending Zhang speeding ahead. He slammed onto the breaks, and tried to reverse into Jade's front, but Jade dodged that, too.
(Confessional: Zhang)
"Ugh! How is she doing that?! There's no way she should be able to react that fast!"
Zhang slammed his fists against the wall in anger.
(End confessional: Zhang)
Jade sped away from Zhang using another stud, and although Zhang quickly caught up, she actually started looking confident in her evasive maneuvers. The cars raced around the drome side by side, Zhang trying to knock Jade off of her course, but Jade would always push back harder, denting Zhang's driver seat door.
Jade stuck her head out of her blow out window to taunt Zhang, "is that really your best?" She asked him sarcastically.
Zhang turned purple with anger as he tried to bash Jade into a saw, but Jade suddenly braked, and her car caught Zhang's bumper, sending him tumbling towards the middle of the drome.
Zhang was thrown around the insides of the car as it tumbled and rolled, denting beyond recognition. He gasped as he saw where he was headed…
The grinder.
Zhang screamed for help as he tried to right his car into the opposite direction, but it was absolutely no use, his already mangled car was caught immediately in the grinder, and was sucked through almost instantly, turning into shredded metal.
Logan, Andrea, and Harmony gasped in horror from the safe-zone. Harmony covered her eyes instinctively.
"Is he dead!?" Logan asked Andrea worriedly, to which Andrea shrugged. "I don't know, one less person to deal with." Was all she said.
"You really don't care, do you?" Harmony angrily scolded Andrea, "unbelievable!"
Andrea rolled her eyes, and the camera flicked to Jade, who ran up to the grinder with great concern.
"Someone get him out of there!" Jade yelled, she then pointed at Chris, who was grinning from ear to ear on the balcony.
"Relax, he'll be fine… probably…not." Chris said as he looked from side to side. He pointed at Eva, who pulled a lever, and the grinder stopped immediately and opened up to reveal what remained in the discharge chamber.
Tiny granules of metal were littered in a giant mound underneath the grinder, Zhang lay on top of the mound, but he clearly was not okay. He was paper thin, flapping in the wind, he looked like he could blow away at any moment. All of his limbs looked to be in the wrong places, too. He twitched and made a gurgling noise as Chef entered the drome, wheeling a dolly toward the crowd that had gathered.
Chris and Eva, who were now at the grinder as well, watched curiously as Zhang lifted Zhang and strapped him to the dolly, wheeling him away. Zhang tried to protest with shouts and groans, but they were all muffled.
"Well, that's something." Chris said anxiously as Zhang was wheeled off screen. "Anyway, for eliminating Zhang from the challenge, Jade is awarded 50 points, which puts her at 400 points, meaning that she is far and away the winner of the challenge!"
Jade smiled and started pumping her fists in the air happily. "Yes! Yes! I knew I could do it! Did you see me? I was totally in my element!"
Andrea and Logan shrugged, and while they were happy for Jade's win, they couldn't shake what just happened to Zhang.
"You did really good!" Harmony complimented Jade, "I was afraid of you for a minute there!"
Jade rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Sorry about that, I can get a little… carried away."
Eva rolled her eyes, turning her attention back to the rest of the group. "Well, maybe next time you all will learn not to throw yourselves into grinders! That guy's a stupid dumb bit-"
Harmony cut Eva off, much to her disdain. "He had it coming, and now, we can finally eliminate him tonight!" She announced. Andrea, Jade, Logan, and Harmony all cheered happily, while Eva sulked in the corner, clearly hating the happy moment.
"Ah, forget this!" Eva shouted at Chris as she turned to stomp away, everyone stopped cheering for a moment to watch Eva leave, but then resumed cheering afterward.
—-
At the elimination ceremony, the final five sat around the campfire as Chris pulled out a platter with four marshmallows on it. He held the platter up high so everyone could see, even Zhang, who was strapped to the dolly and covered in bandages from head to toe.
Andrea couldn't help but snicker at Zhang as Chris began to hand out the marshmallows.
"If you don't receive a marshmallow, you're out of the game… for good." Chris said as he held out the first marshmallow. "This one goes to Jade for winning the immunity challenge."
Jade caught the marshmallow with a bright smile.
Chris picked up another marshmallow. "The second marshmallow goes to Harmony." He said as he threw it to her.
Harmony grinned as she ate her marshmallow. She looked over at Logan, who watched Jade eat with an unusually neutral expression.
Chris continued, "Next up, Logan."
Logan caught his marshmallow and ate it slowly, he looked over at Andrea, who glared at the paralyzed Zhang next to her.
"Zhang, Andrea, this is the final marshmallow of the night." Chris said tensely as he held up the last marshmallow. "The person going home is…"

"Zhang! Andrea, you're safe for now."
Andrea snatched the marshmallow, flashing a quick, satisfied grin at Zhang, who shifted angrily in the dolly.
"Chef, would you gladly wheel him out?" Chris asked his partner, and Chef grumbled, but obliged, he grabbed the dolly and began steering it towards the drone of despair.
Zhang's muffled protests echoed as he was rolled away from the island, and everyone watched with a heavy face as the drone struggled, but managed to latch onto Zhang's bandaged head, and pull him and the dolly into the night horizon.
Everyone let out a long sigh as they watched Zhang disappear, and they headed to bed. Logan turned towards Andrea, who watched everything unfold, she exhaled deeply, but her face remained mostly neutral.
Logan looked away from her, too tired to speak.
Chris turned to the camera, "well, that was quite the challenge, wasn't it? Now that there's only four contestants left in the game, how will Logan and Andrea's secret agreement play out? Find out next time, on Total, Drama, Island!"
Camera fades out.

Editor's note:
I loved writing Zhang's character, I wanted an unsympathetic, almost robotic like villain in the season, and I think I portrayed that pretty well. Logan seems to be handling the elimination of his girlfriend relatively well, and I respect that, as FOR Zhang, those wounds are going to take a while to heal, and I mean a LONG while.
