Episode 17 is here!
myfacewhen- TRUE
Jaron58- Idk why I had Emma of all people tear up but oops
Puzzlefan123- Glad you like that headcanon
kirbykid13- I'm sorry about forgetting to give you credit, but yw.
Mortal01- Spud will return and be the antagonist. I had to take inspiration from Staci and end the flops. That Zoey shade made me lol. I had to let her mention you in that context
Lacueva- Dawn in fanfics has a tendency to notice everything right away, I opted not to do that here.
CMC- Than what?
Omega Leonidas- We'll see
Mr Mysteriously- Not right now
Joel Connell- Good point about Scarlett saving herself unintentionally by not directly asking. I like your Loser's Lounge idea
Guest- I like your reward suggestions. Dawn can't just stop being aroace because Ezekiel does something heroic though I fear
Johnathan1209- There was so much camp drama last episode. We love people playing in a suboptimal way for drama though. JAY AND SPUD SLANDER IS ICONIC. I like the paragraph on Gray Team specifically, there are multiple ways to approach having a big threat in the game in a returnee season. I wish I gave the Pink alliance a real name, "Friends Alliance" is sad. I realized that the post elimination reactions were kinda sad lol. About my recent speed, it obviously won't last forever so I hope people don't unironically expect this to be the norm. I sometimes imagine these eliminations with tribal council music too lol.
Onto the episode.
Recap
"Last time on Total Drama Ultimate… multiple teams had major drama after their votes. Jo and Sierra were mad at Lightning, Harold was mad at Brick, and B successfully caused drama on the Orange Team with his stray Millie vote. That ended up getting poor Ezekiel the brunt of the blame. Things didn't get better, as when he revealed his crush on Dawn, she revealed that she was aroace and therefore incapable of liking him back. The Green Team lacked chaos and just had a chill day. That's why they didn't get much screen time, having a chill day is pretty boring. Raj tried to apologize to Crimson. It didn't go so well. Noah reassured him that they would stick together, but Noah himself is plotting for Crimson's vote to take Raj out, yikes. Emma23 explained more to Kitty about her potentially getting with Wayne. Ella found the fake idol that MK hid at camp. Speaking of MK, she and Tammy had their first confrontation after Julia's elimination… it didn't end well for MK. Tom thought he ate… he did not. Taylor got sicker of Kelly after she told her to calm down after Trent accidentally spilled some water on her clothes. Cody and Lindsay had an odd conversation that ended in Cody doing a little trolling. Jasmine and Sky had a talk about what happened back in Pahkitew Island. EmmaRR went up to Izzy and asked about her being Brainzilla, only to get a weird response. Zoey, Mary, and Sammy bonded over math problems… except Zoey said Mary's interests are boring. Blaineley and Axel fought over Blaineley hiding the machete. Chase told Duncan about his alliances. Jacques and Heather talked, but Heather told us in the confessional that she feels like she isn't playing as good of a game as usual. In the end, the Pink and Cyan teams lost the challenge. EmmaRR was blindsided by Izzy, who flipped to Sammy, Jasmine, and Zoey's side. Sammy used the steal a vote to send her out. On Cyan, a family was torn apart when Taylor managed to convince the other members of the Queen's Quest alliance to blindside her own mother because she was annoyed by her, and to flush out Trent's idol. 66 are left, who will be voted out in this episode of Total… Drama… Ultimate!"
Intro
Day 31
Cut to Cyan Team
"The way you talked to her was horrible!" Trent tells Taylor angrily. The team just got back from the campfire ceremony, so things are nice and fresh.
"Be grateful that it wasn't you, Elvis." Taylor dismisses. "Now like I told mom, be quiet so I can finally sleep! If stupid Staci over there pulled through in golf, I would've been sleeping by now instead of having to vote someone out!"
Taylor lays on the ground. Staci kicks dirt into her face. "AH! HOW DARE YOU!" Taylor shrieks.
"I was going to let you sleep, but since you insulted me, I'm going to keep you up! Want to learn some fun facts about my family?"
Taylor gets up and runs away with Staci following her.
Confessional: Taylor
"It's annoying that Staci is still here, but I had to do it to protect myself. I'm glad I'm able to insult her without being reprimanded." Taylor smirks. "She's done if we lose again."
Conf end
Confessional: Staci
"I tried to warn Kelly, she didn't listen." Staci shrugs.
Conf end
Once they're gone, Anne Maria yawns. "Well I'm tired, I'm going to bed."
"Same." Justin nods. "Having idols played on me REALLY wore me out!"
"I need my beauty sleep!" Tom adds.
"You aren't beautiful though." Justin shades.
"And you are?"
"Yes!" Justin says. Anne Maria laughs, causing him to give a blank stare.
"That was about something else…"
Confessional: Anne Maria
"We've been getting along recently, but come on, let's not get carried away! Anyways, Taylor finally put her foot down to Kelly. Honestly, pop off. I would not let someone use money to try and control me like that."
Conf end
Confessional: Justin
"Even I knew that I was lying there… I wish I was at a better place in life than working at McDonalds of all places!"
Conf end
Confessional: Tom
"So… last night was interesting. Us Queen's Quest members eliminated Kelly. I was all for it since I'm not close to her, but her crying made me feel kinda bad. At least the idol is flushed. Jen and I NEED to find it now that it's rehidden."
Conf end
"That elimination was a little uncomfortable." Jen frowns at Trent.
"I mean, you were a part of it." Trent responds.
"I know, but I didn't expect it to be that personal." Jen shakes her head.
"Why would you go along with that plan? You only helped Taylor ruin her relationship with her mother, and basically enabled her behavior." Trent questions.
Jen sighs. "I told her that she may regret her actions. She chose to ignore it. It's not my place to push on her relationships with her family, so I didn't intervene. She made her bed, and if she has any regrets, it's her fault for covering the bed with nails."
Trent listens to this with a frown.
Confessional: Jen
"I feel bad, but I don't regret doing what's best for my game."
Conf end
Confessional: Trent
"Last night was awful. I wasted the idol, and now there's a 4/7 chance the other alliance will find it."
Conf end
Cut to Pink Team
"I'm telling you guys that Izzy is a snake." Scarlett states to Jasmine and Sammy.
"And you aren't?" Jasmine replies with an annoyed look.
"That… might have been true in the past, but let me tell you something." Scarlett says. Jasmine looks annoyed while Sammy looks confused. "Emma and I had this theory about Izzy that she's faking her personality and her 'Brainzilla' persona is the real her."
With that, the duo burst out laughing. "You're joking, right?"
"No. Emma asked her if Brainzilla was the true her. Then guess who got eliminated the next day." Scarlett states. This causes Sammy to freeze up, though Jasmine still seems unconvinced. Jasmine notices Sammy looks taken aback and raises an eyebrow.
"Don't tell me you believe her…" Jasmine looks unimpressed.
"Now that Scarlett mentions it… Izzy seemed really… off when making her pitch to me. She somehow knew about my advantage when I never told her about it. She was all fixated on how we had to vote Emma, but she never gave a real reason for it. I just went with it because it was the safest option." Sammy admits.
"She likely never gave a real reason because she wouldn't want anyone else knowing about Emma and I's theory."
Jasmine sighs. "Even if she is Brainzilla, who cares? She's just smart, that's it. Mary is smart, and we're not in her grill about it. It's not like she's ready to blow us up… unlike some people I know."
"Yeah, Zoey needs to lay off the explosives." Scarlett jokes dryly. "Also, another one of her personas DID have a knack for exploding things. So, maybe save your snide remarks for when they're actually accurate. She's clearly dangerous if she blindsided her #1 ally, she's hiding stuff this time around. I'm not saying we need to be a game-long alliance, but a truce to take her out is in order."
"A truce with you? As if-"
"We'll consider it." Sammy interrupts.
"Huh?"
"We'll consider it. Someone willing to turn on their #1 ally in a flash can't be trusted." Sammy says.
"Thank you Samantha." Scarlett smiles.
"Why is everyone calling me Samantha-"
"I'm glad you're considering my idea. If you want to discuss more later, I'll be open." Scarlett nods before walking off.
"Ohhh, I get it. You're pretending to truce with her so she won't see it coming when we vote for her again? Good one!" Jasmine smiles.
"Uh, not really."
"What?"
"I'm not sure if we'll actually vote for Izzy, but I want us to keep our options open." Sammy says. "And Izzy is suspicious…"
Jasmine sighs. "You're right, it was silly of me to shut her down."
Sammy chuckles. "If I was the one almost killed by her, I'd act the same way. Don't worry about it."
Confessional: Scarlett
"Things were going so well before the last elimination! Emma going is bad for me, so I'm now going scorched Earth and telling everyone about how fake Izzy is. Izzy has just gone missing all day, and that really pisses me off. At first I wanted Brainzilla to use her power… now I want Brainzilla so I can be the one to destroy her!"
Conf end
Confessional: Izzy
Izzy looks unbothered. No random ladies obsessed with her gets to Izzy! Izzy has been avoiding everyone all day, how odd...
Conf end
Confessional: Jasmine
"Sammy's smart for keeping options open like that, I should've thought of it myself. I don't really care who Izzy is though, I want Scarlett gone next."
Conf end
Confessional: Sammy
"Zoey, Jasmine, and I are an obvious trio. We need to keep the conflict between the others going, not shut it down!"
Conf end
Elsewhere, we see Mary and Sky talking with Zoey. "We had no idea if you were actually going to vote with us Mary. You said you'd vote Scarlett last time, and look what happened. Gwen went home. We were presented with another idea and went with it." Zoey explains.
"That's fair I suppose." Mary says. "But I hope this proves that I was being truthful when I mentioned all doors being open."
"Of course they are!" Zoey smiles.
"I hope the next vote is less confusing…" Sky mutters.
Confessional: Sky
"Yesterday was awful for me. I didn't do well in the challenge, and then I voted wrong when Mary and I thought we were swing votes."
Conf end
Confessional: Zoey
"I'm glad there are no hard feelings!"
Conf end
Confessional: Mary
"I think I've played a good game so far, but last night was a big misstep. Being left out of votes is unacceptable. Maybe I've been playing things wrong… it might be time to take things up a notch, change things up to solidify some loyalty to me." Mary ponders.
Conf end
Cut to Blue Team
We see the whole team in camp, all four of them! Tammy and Ella are talking as Ella is drinking from a coconut. Ella picks up an apple that is next to her. "Do you want it Tammy?"
"Nope." Tammy shuts down. "You need it more than me."
"Alright then." Ella nods. Dwayne is hacking away on a log while MK covers her ears.
"That sound is so annoying!" MK groans.
"You can relate!" Dwayne chuckles in response, causing MK's face to turn sour. Dwayne notices this. "I was joking, that's one of my go-tos at work!"
"Hilarious." MK deadpans. After a few moments of silence, Ella begins singing out of boredom. Just moments into her song, MK pipes up. "Please don't, I do not want to hear garbage Disney songs in my head all day."
"You know, I miss when you pretended to be nice." Ella frowns.
"I miss when you were a good singer… oh wait, you never were." MK replies. Dwayne laughs at the comment, but stops himself within two seconds.
"Ok everyone, let's just calm down. Our team has been on a hot streak, let's not let petty fighting ruin it! We're the underdogs, let's be a unified force and fight together against the other teams!" Dwayne pumps his fist in the air. Ella and Tammy cheer and do the same thing.
"Go team." MK sighs, not repeating the motion.
Confessional: MK
"Camp is so miserable without Julia. Tammy hates me, Ella is annoying, and Dwayne is cringe." MK sighs.
Conf end
Confessional: Tammy
"I may have my issues with MK, but Dwayne is right! Gotta focus on winning."
Conf end
Confessional: Ella
"My singing isn't bad, right?"
Conf end
Confessional: Dwayne
"I'm acting like a motivational coach right now, haha!"
Conf end
Cut to Gray Team
Axel has been searching for the machete for a few days now. She hasn't given up since it miraculously disappeared, and today is no exception. However, this time, luck is on the survival queen's side. She finds the machete coated with dirt and leaves behind a tree.
"YES!" Axel cheers, raising the machete triumphantly into the air. Blaineley, who was sitting nearby, hears this and approaches Axel with a fake surprised expression.
"Oh, you finally found it! Where was it?" Blaineley asks.
Axel grits her teeth. "Don't play dumb."
"The only thing I'm playing is Total Drama. For the last time, I didn't hide the damn machete!" Blaineley fibs.
"LIAR!" Axel roars, getting angrier every time Blaineley doesn't admit to the truth. The argument begins to draw in a crowd, everybody else on the team being nearby now.
"Oh please, the only time I've ever lied was when I told Josh from Celebrity Manhunt that I liked him back. I only dated him for his money!" Blaineley rolls her eyes. No one is shocked by Blaineley's lore drop, considering she's done much worse.
"Admit that you're a dirty liar." Axel demands.
"It. Wasn't. Me. Honestly, I bet it was Chase! Doesn't he love pranks? This is on brand for him."
Chase looks genuinely confused. "What did I do...?"
"Hide the machete." Blaineley deadpans.
"What? No I didn't, I had no clue it was missing." Chase replies while shrugging.
"Weren't you around when Axel found out it was missing?" Jacques questions.
"Your first mistake is assuming the boy was paying attention to something other than himself!" Sugar replies.
"Chase is lying!" Blaineley accuses again. This pushes Axel over the edge, and she begins to charge at Blaineley full speed, machete in hand.
"AAAAAAAAAH, GET AWAY FROM ME YOU PSYCHO!" Blaineley screams. Axel continues to chase her.
Confessional: Axel
"I wasn't going to actually hit Blaineley with the machete, I just wanted to scare her a bit."
Conf end
Confessional: Blaineley
"Damn, I got caught. How did no one believe me accusing Chase? Also, about Josh, not sorry at all!"
Conf end
Confessional: Chase
"I get blamed for everything! That old lady must be going senile, not sure why she accused me of taking it."
Conf end
Cut to Green Team
We see Nichelle looking disgusted as she's about to skin a squirrel. "Remember what Shawn taught you…" she tells herself as she prepares to go for it. Suddenly, she hears rustling behind a bush and screams, thinking it's a snake. She begins to run off. "Nichelle Ladonna will NOT be poisoned- AH!"
Nichelle Ladonna may not be poisoned, but she is someone who looks stupid when she falls to the ground after not paying attention to a root. "Ow…" Nichelle groans in pain. The memories of her flopping the obstacle course in TDI23 come to mind. Speaking of flops, she pulls a Damien.
Because the idol is right where she fell.
"Oh my goshsickles… do people even say that? Whatever, yes!" Nichelle cheers.
Confessional: Nichelle
"I have the idol, I have the idol!" Nichelle continues to cheer for herself. "I don't really need this, but the extra security is nice… it also ensures to me that Dakota does not have it."
Conf end
Cut to Lime Team
We cut to varying shots of members from the Lime Team looking for the immunity idol, clearly wanting to follow in Nichelle's footsteps. "Idol, come to papa!" Wayne shouts.
"You won't find the idol by asking it to show up." Junior states.
"But… I'm asking politely."
Junior facepalms.
…
"We need this badly, Eva!" Ryan says.
"I know that, that's why I'm searching!" she replies.
…
Lightning is running around. "Why are people searching so much for the idol? Just BE an idol, and you'll be good… wait I thought this last time. I should go Sha-looking!"
…
Sierra is screaming like a dying walrus. This yields no idol finding results.
Confessional: Jo
"We were all bored, so we went idol hunting! I-" Jo gets cut off by a cameraman knocking on the door.
"You've been gifted something!" he says. Jo opens the door and takes an envelope.
Jo opens the envelope. "There will be some advantages hidden in the Loser Lounge periodically that eliminated players can find and send to a player of their choice that's still in the game. You've been gifted The Mystery Advantage. This advantage is a mystery- no shit- that can only be revealed at the final 5. If you're eliminated while holding this, you must lend it to another player who is still in the game."
…
"Well, that's not very helpful right now. But if I make it to the final 5, and I DO plan on making it there, this could be good." Jo smirks. After a few moments, the confidence is replaced with confusion. "That means someone in the Loser's Lounge gifted it to me… but who? I'd say Ellody, but I feel like she'd give it to Mary or Sierra instead."
Conf end
Day 32
We cut to Chris standing near a large lake
The Red, Purple, Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Gray, and Lime teams all walk in. They look at the water as they walk to their team mats. Once everyone is in place, the Pink Team walks in. "Getting your first look at the new Pink Team… Emma voted out at the last elimination."
The Yellow Team is definitely the one with the most reactions. Owen looks stunned, as do Kitty and Noah to a greater extent.
Confessional: Emma23
"LAST EMMA STANDING, LET'S GO!" Emma cheers.
Conf end
Confessional: Owen
"Aw man, my little buddy will be so sad that she's gone."
Conf end
Confessional: Kitty
"Ugh, I wish I ignored her strategy of not choosing each other. Clearly whatever she was doing on that team didn't work. I really wanted to play with her…"
Conf end
Confessional: Noah
Noah shakes his head. "This is bad. She wanted to pay off her debt so badly…" Noah sighs. "That gives me more motivation to continue playing the way I've been playing."
Conf end
Once everything is settled down, the Cyan Team joins in. "Getting your first look at the new Cyan Team… Kelly voted out at the last elimination."
No one cares.
"Ok, time for the next immunity challenge!" Chris exclaims. "As you can see, we are near the water-"
"Can we PLEASE get proper swimsuits?" Anne Maria requests.
"Yeah, we're tired of being unable to swim because we don't have proper clothing." Jen adds.
"Well, you'll be getting your swimsuits as a reward for making it to the month of February! Happy?"
"EEE YES!" The Cyan girls except Staci respond.
Confessional: Anne Maria
"Took this show 100 years to do something good, but finally!"
Conf end
"Ok. So, your next challenge will have everyone swimming around in this lake, duh. There are three bags of puzzle pieces for each team hidden inside here. Your bag will have your team color. Once you find all three bags, you will get out of the water and assemble your puzzle." Chris explains.
"I hope there aren't twelve pieces, that would break our adult brains…" Shawn shudders.
"Um… a twelve piece puzzle would be easy. This is 100 pieces!"
"Oh, that's good then!" Shawn smiles.
"I- I won't question that." Chris shakes his head. "Anyways, the last four teams to finish are up for elimination-"
"ANOTHER QUAD?" Sugar yells in anger. "I'M TIRED OF THOSE!"
"No, it isn't a quad elimination." Chris elaborates.
"Then what is it?" Geoff asks.
"10th and 9th place will go to the same campfire ceremony and vote out one person collectively. Same goes for 8th and 7th place." Chris says. "Two people will be going home, but four teams will vote in total. So it is possible to lose the challenge, but still keep all your members intact. Anyways, I'm sure you all have noticed that I haven't been giving rewards out recently."
"Yeah, it would've been nice to get one." DJ says.
"Well, you won't be getting rewards for the challenges that I missed, but rewards are BACK again! So, try to come in first, you could benefit from it." Chris smirks. "Anyways, change into your swimsuits. This challenge is about to begin!"
Confessional: Ella
"We NEED to win this! We are the smallest team, the others outnumber us. If we lose, they can easily pick us off… unless I use my idol!"
Conf end
Confessional: Mary
Mary snorts. "A puzzle! I love those, I do 1000 piece puzzles when I'm bored."
Conf end
Confessional: Millie
"I am so sick of these four teams losing twist! It makes me more likely to go up for elimination again."
Conf end
Confessional: Katie and Sadie
"Omg I HATE puzzles!" Katie pouts.
"I know, all the pieces look the same!"
"That's because you ALWAYS have the pieces upside down Sadie…"
"WHAT?"
Conf end
Confessional: B
B gives a smirk of confidence after hearing the challenge rules.
Conf end
Confessional: Josee
Josee looks nervous. "I hope we don't have to go into any tight spaces…"
Conf end
Confessional: Geoff
Geoff waves his hat around. "Rewards are back, baby!"
Conf end
Confessional: Dawn
"People are going to play even dirtier if prizes are on the line again, oh boy…"
Conf end
We cut to everyone in their swimsuits with diving gear on. "This challenge starts… now!"
Everyone jumps in and scatters about in the water.
…
"Omg Cody, come here!" Lindsay directs Tyler and Cody towards Tom and Jen. "Hey besties!"
"Omg, I love challenges when we get to work together!" Jen squeals.
"What is he doing here?" Tom asks regarding Cody.
"He wanted to see Jen!" Lindsay smiles.
"I-" Cody starts.
"I don't date guys shorter than me, but hi Cody!" Jen waves.
…
"I think I see a purple bag, I'll go get it." Cody lies before swimming off.
Confessional: Cody
"Ok well that 'do whatever I feel like' moment got shut down right away. Time to get to business, I'll tell the Cadets about this clear cross team alliance."
Conf end
We cut to Alejandro and Josee swimming together. They come across a tunnel. "Shall we go in?" Alejandro questions.
"No!" Josee yells right away, causing Alejandro to recoil in surprise.
"Why not? I'm sure the bags are hidden in places like this." Alejandro says.
"I can't stand tight spaces! If only I didn't talk about this in the confessional…" Josee complains.
"Do you want to lose?" Alejandro raises an eyebrow. "We'd be down to just five members if one of our teammates goes home, and there's a high chance Dakota would help whoever we're at the elimination ceremony with."
Josee screams in annoyance. "Fine!"
Before the duo can head in, MacArthur swims by and enters. A few moments later, she comes out with a purple bag. "Have fun at the elimination ceremony tonight, ice dunce!" MacArthur laughs before swimming away.
"Let's go NOW! We can't let that mall cop's team win!" Josee growls.
Confessional: Kitty
"Something is telepathically telling me that two of my insults were just used."
Conf end
Confessional: MacArthur
"I can't pass up an opportunity to dunk on Josee!"
Conf end
Josee and Alejandro enter the little tunnel. There isn't a Green bag, only causing her anger to grow.
"Calm down Josee, we still have time." Alejandro assures.
"I swam in here for nothing, let's get out!"
Confessional: Josee
"I HATE YOU MACARTHUR!"
Conf end
Confessional: Alejandro
"I'm trying to make sure Josee is calm. If we are angry, we will make mistakes."
Conf end
Elsewhere, Taylor has changed her communication setting to just the Cyan Team. "Has anyone found anything?" she questions.
"No." Everyone responds in some variance.
"Ugh, this challenge is so unfair, the Orange Team will clearly win." Taylor sighs.
"How?" Trent questions.
"They have three whales on their team, they're experts at navigating the water!"
"I FOUND ONE!" Anne Maria suddenly yells as the camera cuts to her.
"Ok, just two more to go!"
…
MK has a sour look as she looks in some seaweed. "I hate swimming… or doing anything really, but swimming especially." she tells herself. All of a sudden, Chet swims towards her.
"Hi." he greets.
"Uh, hi? Trying to do the challenge here."
"I know, but I'll help you out. I know your team is at risk and that you're in trouble, and I won't let an Operation: TYTO member go home on my watch! Here." Chet says as he hands MK a blue bag that he found. MK's eyes widened.
"You're giving this to me?'
"Yes. Now go before anyone gets suspicious." Chet ushers her away.
Confessional: MK
"Huh… maybe Chet isn't as bad as I thought. If he's willing to help me do less work, who am I to stop him?"
Conf end
Confessional: Chet
"I feel less in danger if we lose than if my allies lost. My team doesn't have a ton of members, but no one on the other teams have a reason to target me… except Yellow Team, but the odds of ending up in the elimination with them specifically are slim to none."
Conf end
As MK swims off, Sanders swims up to Chet. "Less time talking, more time searching." Sanders says.
"On it."
Confessional: Sanders
"What was he getting distracted about?"
Conf end
Elsewhere, we see Emma and Raj. "I feel so bad for Noah, his girlfriend is gone." Raj frowns.
"While I'm happy to be the last Emma standing, I feel bad too. They won't get to see each other for a while." Emma agrees.
"Love being split up is so sad!"
"OMG I know-"
"Hey guys!" Wayne greets as he swims by the duo.
"Oh, hi Wayner!" Raj greets back. "Have you found anything for your team yet?"
"Nope." he replies. Emma is staring at Wayne's abs and doesn't say anything. Raj looks at Emma in confusion.
"OMG!" they all hear a voice shriek, causing Emma's minor trance to be broken. Sierra swims up to the trio. "Since you just said you haven't found anything, that means we are about to find a bag- IT'S RIGHT THERE!"
Sierra points to a Lime bag. Wayne swims down to get it. "Great job Sierra!"
"Thanks!"
"Wait, so if we do that, we're going to find a bag too?" Raj asks.
"Yes."
"Ugh, we haven't found a bag yet! We are so doomed!" Raj mock complains.
…
A yellow bag suddenly floats towards Raj and Emma.
"It worked! You're a genius Sierra!" Emma smiles.
"I know I am." Sierra seems proud of herself.
"This is good and all, but we have more bags to find." Raj gets things back on track.
"Good luck Rajie!" Wayne waves before he and Sierra make their exit.
Confessional: Sierra
"People need to use the irony of Total Drama to their advantage more often… damn, I should've pulled that trick when looking for the idol earlier today."
Conf end
Confessional: Wayne
"Does Sierra have magic? Good thing she's in my alliance!"
Conf end
"Uh Emma, I have a question." Raj says.
"Hm?"
"Why were you looking at Wayne like that?" He raises an eyebrow.
"Looking at him like what?"
"Like the way my dog looks at meat."
Emma looks a bit surprised. "Um…I was just counting his abs."
…
"That makes sense!"
Confessional: Emma23
"Does it though? I'm glad he believed that."
Conf end
Confessional: Raj
"I don't believe her, but I'm polite enough to pretend I do!"
Conf end
"So, about Crimson… should I keep trying to talk to her?" Raj asks.
"Nah, don't push it. Give her some space before talking again." Emma recommends.
Crimson swims by the duo right on cue. Neither say anything. The camera follows Crimson as she swims by Shawn, who is eating a fish from the water while holding a Green Bag. "That fish isn't cooked, why are you eating it?" Crimson questions.
"I'm hungry, and I don't care if it's raw or not." Shawn replies.
"That's hardcore, I like it."
"Thanks?"
Confessional: Shawn
"Nice to know someone doesn't find that behavior weird."
Conf end
Confessional: Crimson
"Cooking before eating fish is mainstream, I respect people with alternate tactics."
Conf end
We see Crimson continuing to swim. She sees Sadie and Blaineley talking. She swims the opposite direction.
Confessional: Crimson
"I had to leave. If I heard Sadie talk, I would take off my safety gear and let myself drown."
Conf end
Unlike Crimson, we will get to hear Sadie and Blaineley talk. "I overheard you a few days ago talking about how you were causing drama on your team."
"Well, I was like doing it for screen time, but Katie wanted me to stop." Sadie explains.
"For screen time? Huh. You and I are not that different Sadie." Blaineley smirks.
"Really?"
"Yeah, we're practically the same person!"
Confessional: Blaineley
"Other than my fashion sense being far superior, my hair not looking like trash, me being more iconic in two episodes than she was in eleven, me looking prettier, and about 200 pounds, we're basically twins!" Blaineley laughs. "Pfft, of course I was lying."
Conf end
"I just want to say that you shouldn't let Katie drag you down. Be the entertainment superstar DIVA that you were born to be! We could work together even!" Blaineley suggests.
"But you're mean, old, unlikeable, and no one cares about you! What's in it for me?" Sadie asks. Blaineley's eye twitches in annoyance.
"We can elevate each other and get screentime."
Before the conversation can continue, Katie swims out of a small tunnel with an orange bag. "EEK, I did it Sadie!"
"Omg yay!"
The pair swim off as Blaineley looks annoyed.
…
Elsewhere, we see Josee and Alejandro frowning as they still have nothing. "We're going to lose this!" Josee begins raging.
"Calm down, something good has to happen for us."
"LIKE WHAT?"
Suddenly, Jacques and Heather swim over to Josee and Alejandro. "We found a green and gray bag next to each other. As payback for the eggs, here you go." Heather smiles as she hands Alejandro the green bag. Alejandro turns to Josee and grins.
"Like that."
"...thanks. Sorry for being hesitant about giving you eggs back then I guess, you clearly returned the favor here." Josee reluctantly apologizes.
"Josee apologizing? She hasn't done this in years!" Jacques laughs. Josee glares and he shuts up.
Confessional: Jacques
"How does she still scare me after all these years…"
Conf end
Confessional: Alejandro

"I got one!" Zoey hears Sky say.
"Good job! We just need two more now!" Zoey replies. As Zoey tunes out the other Pink Team members in conversation, she sees a tunnel. She begins swimming towards it, but she bumps into a familiar face. "Ow!" she turns off her connection to the Pink Team. "Duncan?"
"Oh, hi Zoey. Guess we thought the same thing?" he laughs while looking at the tunnel.
"I guess we did. Wanna search together?"
"Sure thing." Duncan nods as the duo head in. As they head in, Ryan heads out with a Lime bag.
Confessional: Ryan
"As much as I'd like to say I found it myself, I know that's a lie. Thankfully, Chet found a Lime Bag and gave it to me. That was very nice of him to do!"
Conf end
We see Duncan and Zoey swimming together. "There's a Gray bag!" Zoey says, pointing to one in the corner.
"Thanks Zoey, I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't say anything. Our bags kind of blend with the tunnel walls." Duncan grabs his bag.
"That must be so annoying, my bag doesn't blend in at all… like right over there!" Zoey laughs as she grabs the bright pink bag.
Confessional: Duncan
"Zoey may have helped my team win the challenge, good on her for that one."
Conf end
Confessional: Zoey
"I said I wanted to rebuild our bond after All Stars, that's the first step."

Elsewhere, we see Harold and Leshawna swimming together. Leshawna just notified the team about her finding a red bag in the seaweed. Brick swims by and gives them a thumbs up before he resumes searching for a bag of his own. Harold frowns when seeing him, causing Leshawna to raise an eyebrow.
"You're still mad, huh?"
"Is Picky Steve's Locking Picking Camp the #1 lock picking camp in the world?"
"I don't fucking know!" Leshawna exclaims.
"...that means yes." Harold explains.
"Oh."
"He betrayed us twice, Leshawna. That guy acts honorable, but in reality, he is one of the biggest snakes on the island." Harold states.
"I know he betrayed us, but your attitude is just making it more likely that he'll vote against us again."
"No offense Leshawna, but he is going to do that anyways. He has made his intentions clear." Harold frowns.
Leshawna sighs. "You may be right, but we have to do whatever it takes to make sure the majority of the votes aren't on you. You will be getting votes if we lose again, I'm sure you're aware of that. Courtney doesn't like you."
"I know…"
Confessional: Harold
"GOSH, this game is so annoying!"
Conf end
Confessional: Leshawna
"Hopefully he takes my advice and calms down."
Conf end
We see Mary searching, but to no avail.
…
"HEY MARY!" Sierra yells, causing Mary to gasp.
"Jinkies, you scared me Sierra!" Mary breathes heavily.
"Sorry, I- wait, did you just say jinkies?" Sierra questions.
"Maybe." Mary awkwardly replies.
"Anyways, we NEED to talk."
"About?"
"Ellody was my #1 ally on the Lime Team." Sierra states. Mary raises an eyebrow.
"Oh, really?"
"Yes. I wanted to talk to you since you were her partner on the Ridonculous Race. Just know if you need help with anything, I'll be there for you." Sierra smiles.
Mary returns the smile. "Really? Thanks a lot. What happened to Ellody at her elimination if I may ask?"
Confessional: Mary
"Well that's interesting. I didn't expect to hear anything regarding Ellody's boot, but Sierra told me everything about the dynamics on Lime. How Jo, Wayne, Junior, and herself have a majority that Lightning may or may not still be supporting. The more information people key me on, the better, so thank you Sierra."
Conf end
Confessional: Sierra
"Mary could be my replacement Ellody!"
Conf end
Once Sierra finishes explaining what happened on the Lime Team, Sierra drags Mary with her. "I think I found a Pink bag somewhere nearby, come with me!"
…
"You will not believe how jealous she was that I won top model and she didn't! Like calm down!" Lindsay tells a story to Tom and Jen. The Fashion Bloggers are hanging on to every word.
"I remember how mad she was." Tyler starts. "I-"
"Tyler, we're trying to listen to Lindsay here!" Tom cuts off.
"But I-"
"Please continue." Tom gestures to Lindsay.
"You know what? Fine!" Tyler suddenly snaps. "I'm done with this!"
Tyler swims away. "Meh." Tom shrugs. "Anyways Lindsay, I-"
"I'm going to check on Tyler!" Lindsay interrupts, trying to swim away.
"Wait, but we want to hear the end of your story!"
"You can wait!" Lindsay yells before swimming off.
Tom and Jen look at each other with grimaces. Jen looks at the floor and sees a Cyan bag. "How convenient that happened right when we were about to pass one of our bags!"
Confessional: Tyler
"I'm tired of being treated like I don't even exist!"
Conf end
Confessional: Lindsay
"He seemed mad, I may have done an oopsie!"
Conf end
Sierra and Mary are holding lime and pink bags. Both notify their teammates that they have all three bags. Everyone on those teams begins heading up to the surface so they can reach land and start their puzzles.
…
We see Cody taking a purple bag out of a hole in the wall. "That was difficult…" Cody takes a deep breath, a bit tired at the effort he had to put in. "I did it though!" he cheers, raising his hands in victory. That may have been a mistake though, because he accidentally hit someone in the process.
"OH HELL NAW! YOU DON'T HIT SUGAR AND GET AWAY WITH IT!" Sugar yells.
Cody has a fearful look. "It was an accident! Sorry, I-"
"YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!"
Confessional: Cody
Cody gulps. "I'm dead."
Conf end
Confessional: Sugar
Sugar laughs. "He won't die because I'd get disqualified! It's just fun to make him think he'll die though!"
Conf end
We cut to Bowie and Noah. "We only have one bag, today isn't going very well…" Noah sighs.
"I'm sorry about Emma leaving…" Bowie says.
"Not sure why you're sorry, you didn't vote her off." Noah rolls his eyes.
"Was just trying to be comforting." Bowie rolls his eyes back, this snarky duo being very loose with eye movements.
They move in silence as Bowie watches Noah in thought. "There's a yellow bag." Noah points out. He swims over and grabs it. "Just one left."
Confessional: Noah
Noah shrugs. "I'm surprised I found anything."
Conf end
Confessional: Bowie
"I've been watching Noah very closely, but today wasn't the day I could find out what he's up to. Ugh Emma, couldn't you have waited a few days to get eliminated? Very selfish of you to leave now."
Conf end
Elsewhere, we see B giving a thumbs up to Dawn. The duo have found a bag for the Orange Team. "Just one left!" Dawn says.
We cut to DJ and Ezekiel, elsewhere underwater. "Nice work!" DJ praises. He cuts off his communication to the Orange Team in favor of focusing on searching. He looks at Ezekiel, who frowned a little at hearing Dawn's voice. "Is something bothering you?"
"Uh, no?"
DJ gives a blank stare.
"Ok, fine! You got me!"
"I didn't even press you on it-"
"I told Dawn that I liked her… she doesn't like me back. Turns out she's aroace." Ezekiel says.
DJ raises an eyebrow. "There's another one on this team?"
"Another one? You are too?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect anyone else to be though." DJ notes. He realizes that isn't the point of the conversation though and steers it back on track. "I'm sorry to hear that it wasn't meant to be."
"I just feel stupid… I'm worried it will change things between us now that I confessed." Ezekiel frowns.
"I doubt it will change anything." DJ says. "You know how chill she is."
…
"Wait, another orange bag!"
"Let's head up!"
Confessional: DJ
"No wonder I got a good feeling about Dawn, we have lots of things in common." DJ chuckles. "About Ezekiel… I feel kind of bad now for hyping him up when they didn't have a chance to be a thing."
Conf end
Confessional: Ezekiel
"Maybe DJ is right… but I'd like some space for now so I can collect my thoughts."
Conf end
We see Miles and Dakota talking.
"So… I think I want us to become a duo." Miles says.
"OMG really?" Dakota smiles.
"I do. Your girls alliance could be a good idea…"
"Serve! Of course it's a good idea." Dakota claps, though her clapping is quite awful because it's underwater.
"Anyways, I-" Miles looks up. "Our last bag!"
Confessional: Dakota
"There is hope!" Dakota laughs. "There will be no Dakota Derailing, I need to win!"
Conf end
Confessional: Miles
"Thinking about it, the girls alliance might not be a bad idea. If Dakota, Josee, Nichelle, and I were the last four, I don't think Nichelle and Josee are that close so it'd put me on top of the team. That is if Nichelle and Josee are willing to go along with it. If not, then my duo with Dakota will be short-lived."
Conf end
We see Bridgette and Courtney talking just after finding a red bag. "Ok Courtney, I think I have an idea…" Bridgette says.
"What is it?"
"What would you think of a secret couples alliance?" Bridgette questions.
"Couples alliance?" Courtney raises an eyebrow.
"Me and Geoff, you and Scott." Bridgette says.
"Me and Scott? We're not a couple!" Courtney explains.
"Hm? Oh you've been around each other a lot, it gave off a reunited couple's energy." Bridgette laughs. Courtney doesn't know how to respond to this verbally, but she's thinking some things. "Anyways, you get the point. We can get our #1 allies together and have a secret squad that runs things."
Courtney hums. "Well when you put it that way… you and Geoff would probably be good allies. I can consider that."
The duo shake hands.
Confessional: Bridgette
"There are two sides on our team, having people from opposite sides work together would blindside everyone not in on the deal, it could work! In reality, I've been bonding with Courtney a lot as of late."
Conf end
Confessional: Courtney
"I pretty much only worked with Max early on because he was literally one of my only options. Brick voted with the Evil Alliance twice, but he's clearly not as tuned into the game as many of us. Someone who only votes with their heart is someone who is dangerous. Geoff and Bridgette are logical people, and if they're willing to work with Scott and I, I'd drop Max in a heartbeat. I mean, the guy nearly exposed the Evil Alliance early on for no reason other than to say he has minions! Dumb players can blow up your game."
Conf end
Elsewhere, we see Max in a tunnel. "Haha Red bag, you have been captured by the master of EVIL! You will be the most evil bag known to man!" Max grins before turning on his communication to the Red Team. "I got our last bag, now let's solve the stinking puzzle!"
Max begins swimming out, but he notices that the tunnel entrance is blocked. "Entrance, clear out! I have a bag to take to my team!" Max demands.
The thing blocking the tunnel entrance is Owen. He managed to get stuck while trying to get the last bag for the Yellow Team. "I can't move, I'm stuck!" Owen wails.
We cut to other members of the Yellow Team showing their annoyance. "Where are you? We can help you out!" Kitty says. Owen gives directions as Max rages.
"I can't get out, Owen is blocking me!" Max complains.
"Then we have to get Owen out!" Brick says.
Confessional: Max
"Owen will rue the day he got in my way!"
Conf end
We cut to the Pink and Lime teams, both in the middle of doing their puzzle. Mary and Scarlett have taken charge for the Pink Team and are killing it, the pieces falling in place quickly. Lime is doing less good as the team lost their smartest member in Ellody, but Ryan and Jo aren't doing too bad. It's clear as day who will come in first though.
"Done!" Mary shouts.
Chris runs over to verify the puzzle. "Pink Team wins immunity and reward! Five safe spots left!"
The Pink Team shouts in joy and celebrates.
"Aw man, I wanted the reward!" Lightning complains. "Let's speed it up!"
Lightning walks over and tries to put two upside down pieces together. "These all look the same, how are you supposed to do that!"
The Orange Team emerges from the water and runs by. "That's a relatable mistake!" Sadie chuckles as they head to their station. Lightning realizes that it's upside down and he gasps.
Confessional: Lightning
"Ok, I never claimed to be a puzzle master…"
Conf end
Confessional: Junior
"Next time I'm struggling on a subject in school, I'll just tell myself that at least I'm not as dumb as adults like Lightning. I think I'll feel better about myself!"
Conf end
The Gray, Cyan, Purple, and Green Teams are now heading out of the water and going to their stations.
…
"Done!" Tammy yells.
"The Blue Team thinks they have it… and they do! Blue Team takes 2nd place!"
"YES!" the Blue Team all cheers, happy about their confirmed final 64 spot.
"Wait a second, where did they come from?" Zoey asks. "I haven't seen them much this challenge, now they're safe? I never even noticed they worked on their puzzle!"
"Off screen powers are sexually transmitted." MK explains.
"What-"
"Lime Team gets 3rd!" Chris yells, 3/6 safe spots now being taken.
Confessional: Eva
"If they got rid of me like they wanted to, we would not be performing so well." Eva smirks. Sierra did most of the work here, but let's ignore that so Eva can feel proud of herself.
Conf end
We see the Green, Orange, Cyan, Purple, and Gray teams all fighting in the puzzle, no one wanting to be last place.
…
"Green Team gets 4th!"
…
"Orange Team gets 5th!"
Both teams cheer in relief.
"The Yellow and Red Teams seem to be out of this challenge!"
…
We cut back to everyone on Yellow and Red just managing to free Owen. "We have to hurry!" Scott yells.
Confessional: Scott
"Stupid Owen!"
Conf end
We cut back to the Gray, Cyan, and Purple Teams working on their puzzle. Cody is leading for Purple, Axel for Gray, and Trent for Cyan.
Both teams only have a few pieces left.
"Coming in 6th place is…"
…
…
…
…
…
"Gray Team!"
The Gray Team cheers at barely being safe. The Cyan and Purple Teams show signs of annoyance.
"Cyan and Purple, as 7th and 8th place, you will be heading to elimination together and will be voting someone off!"
Confessional: Axel
Axel smirks. "Puzzles help keep my brain sharp, no wonder we were safe."

Confessional: MacArthur
"WE LOST? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!" MacArthur rages.

"I feel bad about Tyler being upset… but about the vote, we have an alliance with Tom and Jen! They can save us from the majority alliance on our team!" Lindsay smiles.
Conf end
Confessional: Tom and Jen
"The cross team alliance will go crazy tonight!" Tom smiles.
"No one knows about it, we should be good… but we need to keep Staci, Trent, and Justin from doing anything stupid tonight."
Conf end
The Yellow and Red Teams surface. Chris looks at them. "Hello! I hope you two teams enjoy voting together as much as you do for swimming. As 9th and 10th place, someone from one of your teams is going home. As for the Pink Team, you'll be taken to a movie theater where you will get to watch one of my hit Badminton movies!"
"Is this a punishment?" Mary questions.
Chris gives her a death stare. "No, it's not. Anyways, the four losing teams will have to make a decision. Go back to your camps!"
Confessional: Brick
"Our team has eight to the Yellow Team's seven. No disrespect at all to anyone on that team, but our team has been a unit in these challenges for 32 days. We should not betray each other under any circumstance! If things go correctly, one of them should go home."
Conf end
Confessional: Geoff
"If we can't pick off one of their members, we must be stupid."
Conf end
Confessional: Bowie
Bowie squirms in discomfort. "8 vs 7? This is bad, I don't even know if anyone has an idol to counter it!"
Conf end
Cut to Red Team
"Alright guys. I know there are a lot of personal issues and bad blood amongst some of you, but can we please put that all aside for the good of our games? We have the most members of any team, let's not do anything crazy!" Brick pleads.
"Sounds good to me. Cutting into our own numbers would be stupid, we have no idea if a swap is coming anytime soon." Leshawna agrees.
"Exactly, thanks Leshawna." Brick salutes. "Now, which member of their team should we get rid of?"
"Kitty, Owen, or Raj!" Max suggests.
"Why? They don't seem that threatening." Bridgette questions.
"They're the least EVIL on the team!" Max answers. "Also, Owen got in the way and cost us the challenge! It'd be good payback to get rid of him!"
"Owen being a burden like that is why we should keep him around." Bridgette says.
"Dude isn't really a burden, his eating habits have cost multiple teams challenges. But he's cool, so I'd rather not vote for him anyways." Geoff comments.
"Why don't we go for Bowie?" Scott suggests. "I'm sure he, Raj, and Emma are a trio on that team. Cut the head off that snake and put them in chaos."
"Good thinking." Bridgette smiles.
"No matter what we choose to do, no one get rid of Crimson." Harold says. "She must have no connections, especially since Ennui left last time."
"Fair point. I'd also like to point out that Owen, Noah, and Kitty are all connected, so there are two trios we could target." Courtney adds.
"Do we think any of those three have the same strategic capability that Bowie does though?" Leshawna asks.
"Probably not." Courtney admits. "But it's something to consider."
"So… should we lock it in on Bowie? He's the all around best option." Scott says.
Everyone states signs of agreement.
Confessional: Scott
"Bowie is someone who I respect, but he's also too smart to keep in."
Conf end
Confessional: Harold
"I think I have a different agenda from the rest of the team… but I can't strategize it until we are at the campfire. I don't trust Brick, but there is SOME value in him. I want one of Max, Scott, or Courtney gone, preferably Courtney. I can't risk a tie if we lose at an elimination ceremony where only we vote!"
Conf end
Cut to Yellow Team
"We may have literally been divided in half at the last vote, but can we all agree that we need to stick together tonight?" Emma questions.
"I like everyone here, so yeah. Teamwork makes the dreamwork!" Kitty replies.
"Does anyone here have an idol? If they're all going to be unified, it's our only hope." Noah questions. No one says anything, as no one has the idol. Noah sighs. "Well, we are going to have to poke at any cracks possible if we want all of us to make it out intact."
"Let's decide who we are voting for now." Raj says. "Any suggestions?"
"It should be someone who is threatening but nice." Bowie states. "Scott or Courtney sound like good picks on paper, but they're also very likely drama starters that would be good to keep around to keep the chaos on their team alive. Harold grates on people's nerves. Leshawna is probably a good choice, but she is also someone who gets into fights. That leaves Geoff, Bridgette, and Brick."
"Not Max?" Owen questions.
"Is Max a threat to you?"
…
"Fair point."
"Brick is probably their leader figure, because I think the team all would've jumped off a cliff by now if Harold was doing all the leading for 32 days." Noah says. "We could either take out their leader, or we could take out a member of a strong couple in Geoff and Bridgette. The one who is not taken out would be devastated and distracted in challenges."
"So, who do we choose?" Kitty asks.
"I don't care." Crimson shrugs.
"We gathered." Kitty dryly replies.
Confessional: Noah
"This vote was pretty complex on who we decided to target… but I think we made the right choice. Things could easily change at the campfire though, so who really knows what will go down tonight."
Conf end
Confessional: Kitty
"I love our team so much. We can go from split to the point of a tiebreaker to working together when needed because there's a lot of respect between us!"
Conf end
Cut to Purple Team
"We're in the minority, who do we target?" MacArthur questions sternly.
"Staci!" Lindsay replies.
"Why her? Wouldn't it be good to have her as an adversary, she's not threatening." Sanders replies.
"I know she annoys the Cyan Team. If they'd be willing to take anyone out, it'd be her." Lindsay explains.
"How do you know that?" Chet questions.
"I just do." Lindsay says. "Anyways, I totally need to tan! Tyler, do you wanna come with me? We could talk…"
Tyler sighs. "Alright."
The ditsy duo makes their exit while the other four Purple members are together. "Guys, I need to tell you something." Cody pipes up.
"What is it?" Sanders asks.
"Lindsay and Tyler have a cross team alliance with Tom and Jen." Cody says. "That's how she knows about some of the dirt on that team."
The other three gasp. "THOSE TRAITORS!" MacArthur angrily shouts.
"We need to do something about it!" Sanders adds.
"Leave it to me. I'll handle the problem." MacArthur slams a fist into her hand.
Confessional: Cody
"Yeah, I have to do something about this… sorry Lindsay."
Conf end
We see Lindsay and Tyler sitting together. "Can you tell me what's wrong?" Lindsay questions. "I don't like to see you sad!"
Tyler sighs. "I feel like I have been getting ignored a lot recently. The alliance with Tom and Jen is not helping. They barely talk to me, you all just talk nonstop without ever including me in the conversation." Tyler says. Lindsay has a guilty look. "I tried to add on to one of your stories, and I was told to stop talking. That's why I swam off."
Lindsay frowns. "I'm so sorry about that Tyler, I wasn't thinking about you enough… I have a tendency to ramble about things and get lost in conversation with other people who are passionate about fashion, don't I?"
"Yeah, you do. I just want to be noticed a little more, that's all…" Tyler says. Lindsay suddenly latches on to Tyler. "What are you doing?"
"As a make good for not paying enough attention to you, I'll never let go!"
Cut to Cyan Team
"We're all voting together, right?" Taylor chuckles nervously while looking at Justin, Trent, and Staci.
"You do know that we could flip and ruin your games, right?" Staci asks.
"Yes, but we're a team! We need to stay strong and not lose members in back to back rounds." Anne Maria says.
…
Later in the day, we see Justin, Trent, and Staci talking.
"Should we talk to the Purple Team and flip?" Trent questions.
"We should, Taylor sucks, haha!" Staci laughs.
"It's a good idea. The three who stay would be mad, but we need to get one of the majority members out NOW or we won't even have a shot of doing a tiebreaker." Justin says.
The trio smirk.
Confessional: Trent
"Payback for us being excluded for three votes sounds really nice…"
Conf end
Confessional: Anne Maria
Anne Maria groans. "This sucks, our games could be ruined over a twist!"
Conf end
Cut to the Red and Yellow Teams at the campfire ceremony
"Welcome Ketchup and Mustard duo!" Chris laughs.
No one laughs with him.
"You're all boring. Anyways, welcome Red and Yellow Teams to a very unique ceremony. One of you won't lose a member at all! 15 of you will have to come to a conclusion on who you want out. Should be spicy. Are we ready to vote?"
"Chris, we are not."
All heads turn to Harold. Brick gives him a confused look.
"Yellow Team, I want to make you an offer." Harold states. The Red Team looks concerned while The Yellow Team looks intrigued.
"Go on." Bowie smirks.
"I can vote with you guys to take out Courtney."
"WHAT?" Courtney yells as the Red Team gasps.
"Harold, what are you doing?" Brick scolds.
"Courtney has been a threat since day 1-"
"Harold formed a majority alliance against me and is crying that he hasn't gotten me eliminated. He still has numbers, take him out instead!" Courtney yells over Harold, not letting him finish. She is in instant panic mode at the mention of her name.
"GOSH, no need to interrupt. Anyways, I-"
"Harold is a snake if he's willing to throw his team under the bus like this!" Courtney shouts again.
"You're the biggest snake of all, CHARTNEY." Harold emphasizes Gwen's nickname for the CIT.
"Ok, you did NOT just call me that!" Courtney growls. "Harold will rig the votes if he doesn't like who you associate with, so that's a major reason to take him out."
"I can't rig the votes again, geeze!"
"He's technically right." Chris interjects. "We check to make sure the votes aren't rigged."
"Ha, see! Even Chris agrees-"
"But Chartney can't make another chart either, there's no paper to write on here." Chris states.
"Ha!" Courtney cheers before glaring at Chris. "Don't call me Chartney again, please."
Harold and Courtney scowl at each other before continuing to yell and throw each other under the bus.
Geoff is trying to break up the fighting. Brick has a stunned look of disappointment. Scott is debating on whether he should back Courtney up, and if that would put a bigger target on her back. Max is reduced to silence while Bridgette and Leshawna exchange looks of horror.
"GUYS!" Brick shouts at the top of his lungs. "YOU ARE RUINING EVERYTHING WITH YOUR PETTY ATTITUDES!"
"Yeah, this is ridiculous!" Geoff adds. "We need to be unified against the real enemy!"
Speaking of 'the real enemy', the whole Yellow Team except Crimson are grinning ear to ear at this unfolding drama.
"I came to you guys first, vote for Courtney with me." Harold pleads.
"I could just play my idol on her." Max suddenly says. This causes a new wave of yelling as the calm Red Team members are telling the loose lipped ones to shut up.
"He won't actually do it, he pulled this as a bluff at Brody's elimination!" Harold tries to shut down any worries of this idol.
While this is going down, the Yellow Team begins talking to each other.
"How did Max find an idol?" Kitty whispers to Emma.
"And none of us have… I think we hit a new low in life." Emma frowns.
"Should we stick to our original plan, or should we pick a side?" Bowie asks.
"Let's stick to our original plan and let their chaos continue back at camp." Noah grins.
Bowie smiles. "I like your style."
…
"Are we ready to vote now?" Chris questions.
"No, we need to get the team back on track!" Geoff protests.
"It won't get back on track, Harold has got to go!" Courtney rages.
Another wave of arguing.
Chris sighs. "There are two other teams who should already be sitting here by now. I have to cut this argument short, get voting."
Voting
"Courtney, you have to go. My alliance needs the numbers if we lose again." Harold says.
"You little shrimp! Have fun at the Loser's Lounge tonight, you could've prevented this if you weren't so stupid!" Courtney growls with a vote for Harold.
Max shrugs with his Harold vote.
"I have to support Courtney." Scott bluntly states while voting for Harold.
"I'm sticking to the original plan." Brick holds his Bowie vote with an angry stare into the camera. "Immature team, their behavior tonight was so… urgh!"
We get a quick cut of Leshawna, Bridgette, Geoff, Bowie, Raj, Kitty, Emma, Owen, Crimson, and Noah voting before we cut back to the campfire.
Voting Over
"If anyone has found a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so…"
…
…
…
…
Scott is debating playing it for Courtney.
…
…
…
…
"Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… Harold."
Harold rolls his eyes.
"2nd vote… Courtney."
Courtney sighs.
"3rd vote… Harold."
Harold gulps.
"4th vote… Harold. 3 votes Harold, 1 vote Courtney."
Harold looks nervous.
"5th vote… Bowie."
Bowie bites his lip.
"6th vote… Bowie."
Bowie grimaces. Emma and Raj put their hands on his shoulders to reassure him.
"7th vote… Bowie. 3 votes Bowie, 3 votes Harold, 1 vote Courtney."
Bowie feels a bit more relaxed due to the comfort of his teammates.
"8th vote… Bowie. 4 votes Bowie, 3 votes Harold, 1 vote Courtney."
Bowie shakes his head.
"9th vote…"
…
…
…
"Geoff."
"Oh no…" Bridgette's heart sinks, knowing that this came from a Yellow Team member.
"10th vote… Geoff."
"Oh come on!" Geoff exclaims in anger.
"11th vote… Geoff."
Harold and Courtney both curse, now too aware that their plans to target each other amounted to nothing.
"12th vote… Geoff. That's 4 votes Geoff, 4 votes Bowie, 3 votes Harold, 1 vote Courtney…"
"You have got to be kidding me!" Geoff yells.
"Look what you did Harold, you just screwed our team over!" Brick glares with fury. Harold shrinks in his seat as his plan has completely backfired. Leshawna shakes her head in disappointment as Bridgette looks to be on the verge of tears. The Yellow Team are all shown to be happy at their handiwork, even Crimson looks a bit lively.
"13th vote… Geoff. 5 votes Geoff, 4 votes Bowie, 3 votes Harold, 1 vote Courtney."
Geoff shakes his head in anger.
"35th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate… Geoff. That's 6, you've been eliminated."
…
There is an eerie silence.
…
"I'm gonna vomit…" Geoff mutters before standing up.
"Geoff, I'm so sorry!" Harold apologizes. "It should've been Courtney!"
"It should've been you-"
"Both of you, just shut up!" Geoff snaps. "I'm so disappointed this is how my journey ends… I'm usually not an angry guy, but I can't help but feel like I got screwed over."
Bridgette stands up and pulls Geoff in for an Owen type hug- nice and tight. Bridgette is trying her best not to cry.
"Hey… Bridge, look at me." Geoff says. The duo stare into each other's eyes. Geoff takes off his hat and hands it to Bridgette. "I know you can do this on your own. You're the best person I've ever met in my life. Have my hat, it will give you good luck. Just know that I'm rooting for you all the way. Play hard."
Bridgette nods. "I will… I'm so sorry this happened!"
They share another hug before Geoff pulls away and looks at the rest of the team. "Please never allow anything like THIS to happen again."
"Sorry dude…" Leshawna mutters.
Confessional: Bowie
Bowie is seen cackling. "I would feel bad about how sad their team was to see Geoff go if I wasn't their target. Just for that, good riddance."
Conf end
Confessional: Owen
"I felt almost intrusive watching their drama, that was insane."
Conf end
Confessional: Noah
"Why did we choose Geoff? We ultimately chose to go for the couple in Geoff and Bridgette. On World Tour, Bridgette did really badly by herself. When Geoff was by himself, he almost won. Bridgette is more likely to get emotional alone, that was the deciding factor if we want as much chaos as possible for their team."
Conf end
Confessional: Bridgette
Bridgette is wearing Geoff's hat while sobbing. "Last time I was by myself, I didn't do so well… I need to redeem myself!" She takes a moment to collect herself. "The game plan I told Courtney about today got completely destroyed, I'll have to rebuild everything now."
Conf end
Confessional: Courtney
"Well Harold started it, no one can blame me for defending myself. So much for that couple's alliance."
Conf end
Confessional: Scott
"Good thing I didn't waste the idol…"
Conf end
Confessional: Brick
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Brick yells out. "That showed no team loyalty!"
Conf end
Confessional: Harold
Harold bangs his head into the wall. "That was supposed to put me in the majority on my team, it completely backfired!"
Conf end
The Yellow and Red teams leave while the Cyan and Purple Team enter
"Welcome Cyan and Purple!" Chris greets.
"What took so long?" Jen asks.
"Yeah, we had to wait forever!" Cody complains.
"There was a lot of talking…" Chris mutters. "Anyways, I-"
"Lindsay, Tyler, Tom, and Jen have a cross team alliance." MacArthur blurts out.
Everyone goes silent as heads turn to the four mentioned players.
"You two had an alliance with Lindsay and Tyler… and you never told us?" Anne Maria questions.
"We can explain, I-"
"Tom and Jen have a majority alliance on our team with Anne Maria and Taylor." Trent adds.
…
"They do?" Sanders questions.
"No we don't, Trent is lying!" Taylor protests.
"I'm not, but ok." Trent shrugs.
"How about we make a deal? Tom and Jen have connections to Lindsay, Tyler, Anne Maria, and Taylor if what you're saying is true." MacArthur says before gesturing to everyone she didn't mention. "The seven of us should work together for tonight."
"No! Stay Cyan strong guys, don't betray the team!" Jen begs.
It's too late, as MacArthur, Sanders, Cody, Chet, Trent, Staci, and Justin have formed a circle and are discussing the vote as Tom and Jen feel their games crumbling. "Why didn't you tell us about this?" Taylor questions with a frown as the Queen's Quest gathers.
"It wasn't like we were doing anything mischievous with them." Jen shakes her head.
"Are you mad at us?" Tom asks. Before they can get an answer, Lindsay and Tyler join their huddle while hugging. Lindsay was serious when she said that she wouldn't let go.
"Do any of you have an idol?"
They all shake their heads 'no.'
"Well, we're screwed, who should we vote for anyways?"
"If we're going down here either way, I want to be petty." Taylor says.
…
"Ok, it seems that everyone has discussed. It is time to vote!"
…
"Lindsay, please remove yourself from Tyler and cast your vote."
"Oops!"
We get a quick cut of everyone voting before cutting back to the campfire ceremony
"If anyone has found a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… Staci."
Staci doesn't react.
"2nd vote… Staci."
Staci blinks.
"3rd vote… Staci."
…
"4th vote… Staci."
Staci doesn't care. Her great great grandpa invented being unbothered after all.
…
"5th vote… Staci. That's 5 votes Staci."
…
"6th vote… Jen."
"You're joking…" Jen mutters in annoyance.
"I'm so sorry you're out Jen." Tom frowns.
"7th vote… Tom."
"Bitch say what?" Tom recoils from surprise.
"8th vote… Tom."
Tom gasps. Jen smiles at the turnaround, happy it's not her.
"9th vote… Tom."
Taylor and Anne Maria look sad.
"10th vote… Tom."
Tom groans.
"11th vote… Tom. 5 votes Tom, 5 votes Staci, 1 vote Jen."
Tom shakes his head.
"12th vote… Tom. 6 votes Tom, 5 votes Staci, 1 vote Jen, 1 vote left…"
His allies give him an apologetic look, unhappy about how this turned out.
"36th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate… Tom. That's 7 and enough, it's time for you to go."
…
"Why did I get a random vote?" Jen questions. No one responds.
"Well, I was ROBBED by a stupid twist." Tom pouts. "Good luck girls, you're going to need it."
With that, Tom walks out and joins Geoff on the loser boat. Neither speak to each other as the boat takes the eliminated twosome away.
Confessional: MacArthur
"Big Moves MacArthur strikes again! Bye bye Tom!"
Conf end
Confessional: Cody
"MacArthur can have her big moves and make herself a big name at these campfire ceremonies. I was more than happy to just relay the information and let her do the work."
Conf end
Confessional: Tyler
"I voted for Jen. I thought the group that formed would too, I just made a wrong guess. I have no loyalty to Tom or Jen, so whatever."
Conf end
Confessional: Jen
"I'll miss you Tom! I just hope Anne Maria and Taylor aren't too mad…"
Conf end
Confessional: Lindsay
"That guy was really cool, I'm sad he's gone."
Conf end
Confessional: Chet
"I knew helping Operation: TYTO was smart. I wasn't in danger at all!"
Conf end
Confessional: Trent
"We finally got one over on their alliance! I've built somewhat of a bond with Jen, so I fought to keep her over Tom."
Conf end
Confessional: Staci
"Five votes… seriously?" Staci rolls her eyes, unimpressed at the votes.
Conf end
Confessional: Taylor
"Huh… the Queen's Quest has flopped recently… but I don't know how to feel about Jen right now, I'll have to talk with Anne Maria tomorrow.
Conf end
We cut to Chris now alone at the campfire. "Two big votes have just gone down! I hope today really proves that anything can happen in this game. Tom and Geoff had no one targeting them until the twist, never feel safe, people! Anyways, who will go home next? Find out on the next episode of Total Drama Ultimate!"
Another episode done! These have been flying by as of late. This was a nice little structure change with the joint tribals.
Geoff- I thought Geoff would make it a lot further when I started ngl. This isn't a huge loss, as his relevancy left when Brody did. He got screwed over by the power struggle between Harold and The Evil Alliance which let Yellow Team take advantage by sniping a strong player. How will Bridgette proceed without him?
Tom- RIP Tom. He was in the majority on Cyan, but this twist did him in as his connections all got exposed by scorned players. He was the least relevant in his alliance. How will Jen proceed without him?
