Episode 26! If this was a regular season, I would be done.

Joel Connell- Sammy beating up her parents would be iconic. We'll see if any of these predictions come true

Red Rain- Scott having a brain is always a plus. The James reference is iconic. Sammy hasn't pressed charges I fear. Writing Dawn last episode was so fun. Both the Izzy/Staci and Dwayne/MK scenes seem to be popular. I saw the TV tropes thing, that's cool. I love Riya, she's my favorite DC character, so I legit cheered when she won. My girl played HARD and earned her victory, and I loved the karma at the end.

myfacewhen- Sadly, that won't happen

Jaron58- Glad you liked it

Lacueva- Fair on finding this average, this was a filler episode. I knew you would be here for the Duncan/Sammy here, you're always going to bat for your girl and I respect it.

Mortal01- I knew that title would be scary. Barbecue sauce is iconic, please get on board NOW. Nichelle and Axel being a ship before Rematch was insane, there was no basis to it lol. Did I misread or was this the Mortal01 is a dad reveal?!

Recap

"Last time on Total Drama Ultimate… we saw the fallout of Sapphire Team's elimination, and how MacArthur was mad at DJ and Millie for not siding with her. We also saw MacArthur argue with Chase and Jen, not her most calm day at the office. Dwayne comforted MK, but after that MK tried to spy on multiple conversations. Sadly for her, she got nothing of substance as Bridgette, Courtney, Jo, and Brick only talked about mundane topics. Dakota continued her facade as an ally to Scott and Trent, to varying results of believability if you ask Scott and Trent themselves. Nichelle brought up the possibility of keeping Duncan to use him as a number. Duncan apologized to Sammy by comparing both of their experiences with Amy, but that was the wrong wording as Sammy ripped him a new one for even drawing a comparison. Josee vowed to outlast Jacques. The Ruby Team tried to force feed Cody, even Sugar gave up her food! The Amber Team played some games. For the challenge, Dawn, Chase, Axel, Scarlett, Sierra, and Taylor went through personality shifts that their teammates had to cure. Some hilarity ensued when it came to their personalities, especially Dawn becoming a villain for a day. Sky and Eva formed a minor connection, while Staci and Izzy became friends. Jacques and Blaineley had a weird conversation. Leshawna and Tammy continued to grow closer. Wayne and Emma continued to grow their bond, Kitty is probably screaming at that! In the end, the Gold and Amber Teams were the slowest to cure their teammates, sending them up for elimination. Eva was easily dealt with in a 7-1 vote despite Sky's best efforts to save her. Dakota pretended to be shocked that she couldn't flip anyone to eliminate Taylor, but Scott saw through her efforts once Trent was eliminated. 46 are left, who will be voted out tonight on this new episode of Total Drama Ultimate?"

Intro

Day 49

Cut to Production Tent

"I do have some information now." Don tells Chef, who is busy burning a princess Beth doll. Don notices this and looks confused. "They're selling those again?"

"Mhm. What information do you have?"

"The last time Layla was seen was at the Amethyst camp. Send the crew to look for her there." Don says.

Chef nods. "Understood."

Cut to Gold Team

We see Scott and Dakota standing together in the forest. "Omg, I am so shocked that Trent went home." Dakota says. Scott tries not to laugh in her face at the mediocre acting ability. "Blaineley and Jacques told me that they would vote for Taylor, but I got lied to and now they will probably target me! Isn't that sad?"

"I'm sorry to hear that they lied to you." Scott gives an insincere frown.

"It's okay, it's not your fault." Dakota says. "We will get out of this situation, I promise you that!"

"That's good to hear. We will stick together, right?" Scott asks, though he already knows the answer is no.

Confessional: Dakota

"Wow, I am GOOD. Like no offense to Nichelle or anything, but I think she may have some competition in the acting world if I decide to become an actress."

Conf end

Confessional: Scott

"She should never become an actress. Blaineley and Jacques would just tell her to vote Trent, they wouldn't randomly leave her out of the vote." Scott rolls his eyes. "I will pretend that I believe her stupid story, but I will plot her demise."

Conf end

We cut to Taylor and Anne Maria walking towards camp. Anne Maria gets the desire to talk, so she does just that. "So… how are you feeling? Fifth time in the bottom two, you are a controversial icon." Anne Maria states. Taylor doesn't respond at first. "Do you ever get worried? I would be freaking out in your position."

"At this point, I'm not worried, I'm just mad." Taylor responds honestly. "I knew I was getting votes last night and I allowed Dakota to vote for me to sell her lie, but I am tired of being the target for those not in the 'in group'. Like what do these people have against me? Am I too honest? Am I too rich? It's giving jealousy and I'm so sick of it."

"I don't know what their problem is, you're nice to me." Anne Maria shrugs before looking at her skin. "Ugh, I NEED a spray can soon."

"Maybe we could win a reward for it."

Confessional: Taylor

"I think I am going to dial up the ruthlessness from here on out. I NEED to win this game to make up for my allowance being cut, I won't let anyone get in my way. Trent was just an example of how far I can go, as was my mom." Taylor gives a cold glare to the camera.

Conf end

Taylor and Anne Maria walk into the camp while Jacques has a fire going. Blaineley is watching him with a bored expression. "Uh, what are you doing?" Anne Maria questions as they walk closer and notice Jacques has some sage.

"Burning sage to get rid of our curse." Jacques responds.

"What curse?" Anne Maria asks.

"Team Victory was a gold team and they ended up losing all of their members. We are THE Gold Team and have the most losses of any team. My theory is that gold is cursed on this show, and I'm going to stop it from continuing." Jacques explains.

Confessional: Anne Maria

"This guy… I can't even, curses are not real."

Conf end

Confessional: Jacques

"The Gold Team will go down as a great team if I have anything to say about it."

Conf end

Confessional: Blaineley

"This team is dumb." Blaineley states before looking around. "Actually, I'm already in the confessional. Since I'm such a giver, I'll give my thoughts on the game right now! I know, I'm very nice. Anyways, I feel like I'm doing a great job. I went from the probable next boot after Amy's elimination to someone in the majority alliance. We just need to win more challenges, but otherwise I think I'm good."

Conf end

Cut to Amber Team

We see Sky and Mary getting some water at the lake. "That elimination worked out for us." Mary starts some conversation.

"I guess… I wish Eva stayed though." Sky frowns.

"Eva made that clear." Mary notes Eva's reaction to her elimination.

"Yeah, I should've mentioned my reasoning to you, maybe you could have convinced them to keep Eva." Sky looks back.

"We just have to keep looking forward, sorry that you didn't get your way though."

"It's fine, but can I decide who goes on the next vote?" Sky requests.

"Sure." Mary says. "Who are you considering a target?"

"I know I was targeting Noah, but now that team E-Scope is dissolved, I'm thinking of Bowie." Sky states.

"What caused this shift?" Mary wonders, wanting to get some information as to why her secret alliance partner is on Sky's radar.

"Bowie is more… how do I put this… sneaky than Noah. Noah is all talk, Bowie has proved that he's willing to be a dirty player. Remember the notebook incident?" Sky recalls.

"I do."

"That's why we should target him next. Would you be on board?"

"Of course."

Confessional: Sky

"I hope that the team will listen to me if we lose again. At least Mary will."

Conf end

Confessional: Mary

"Am I the only one who doesn't understand why Bowie is demonized for that notebook? Whatever. Sky seems to want to be gaining some more control. Honestly, I prefer my pawn allies like Izzy or Staci, they don't try to control the votes."

Conf end

We see Bowie and Noah sitting in silence at camp. It won't be silent for long though, as one of the many loudmouths on Amber Team join the duo. "Hey guys!" Sierra exclaims.

"Hi." Noah dryly responds.

"How are you, Sierra? Ready to slander Total Drama some more?" Bowie jokes regarding her personality shift.

"DO NOT BRING THAT UP!" Sierra yells. "Anyways, we should totally talk."

"About?"

"I don't know."

Awkward silence.

"How about we form an alliance?" Bowie says out the blue, the abruptness surprising Noah and Sierra.

"Ooh, really? Why?" Sierra asks.

"We should be very aware that there are three Pink Team members of a team of seven. That's dangerous." Bowie points out.

"That does make a lot of sense…" Noah notes. "If we have to vote one of them out, can it PLEASE be Sky? Wasn't she targeting me at the last elimination?"

"Oh yeah, she really wanted you out over Eva. But we could form an alliance!"

Confessional: Sierra

"I'm working with the other Ellody, but the more allies, the better in my book!"

Conf end

Confessional: Noah

"Stalkerlicious is my ally, I can just scream from joy." Noah rolls his eyes. "Bowie's pitch is smart, it's just a shame who we have to work with to get Sky eliminated."

Conf end

Confessional: Bowie

"I'm cooking here, just watch." Bowie smiles, obviously having some long term plans we aren't privy to.

Conf end

Izzy and Staci are sitting around at the other side of camp. Suddenly, Izzy begins laughing hysterically.

"What's so funny?" Staci asks.

"I just thought of a really funny joke!" Izzy explains. "Want to hear it?"

"Okay!"

"Why did I bring a ladder to the bar?"

"Why?"

"Because I heard the drinks were on the house! But then I climbed up and ordered pancakes... Now everyone's confused, including me!"

Staci blinks. Izzy blinks.

"HAHAHAHA, that's the 27th funniest joke I've ever heard! Tell another one, tell another one!" Staci begs.

"Hmm... Let me think of one."

...

Five minutes later.

"Still thinking?"

"Yes."

...

10 minutes later.

"Still thinking?"

"No, I've had a joke idea for eight minutes!"

"Then why haven't you-"

"Why did I put my bed in the refrigerator? Because I wanted some cool dreams! But now my pillow is frozen and I can't figure out why my alarm clock smells like leftovers."

The duo immediately burst out laughing despite the joke being unfunny.

"You're a comedic genius!" Staci compliments.

Confessional: Staci

"Contrary to popular belief, I'm capable of listening to others instead of talking all the time!"

Conf end

Confessional: Izzy

"I'm glad Staci liked my jokes! If I told Noah one of them, he'd probably laugh in the most sarcastic and unenthusiastic way possible."

Conf end

Cut to Sapphire Team

We see Millie, MacArthur, and Jen sitting together in the Sapphire camp. This trio has pretty much nothing in common, so the lack of conversation is no surprise. MacArthur doesn't like this lack of conversation though, as it bores her.

"We need to talk." MacArthur pounds her fist into the sand.

Confessional: Millie

"Why are some people hellbent on getting a conversation started? Whatever happened to basic peace and quiet?" Millie wonders.

Conf end

"Talk about what? I thought you hated us." Jen glares.

"I do, but I hate silence just as much. What were you passionate about again? Fashion, was it?" MacArthur questions.

"Yes, but there's nothing fashion wise I can talk about with you two." Jen shrugs.

"Why? Are you saying we dress ugly?" MacArthur accuses.

"No, I just don't make plus size clothing for my brand." Jen replies. Millie and MacArthur reconsider their lives after that brutal shut down.

"Um… I like writing." Millie says, trying to move the conversation in a nicer direction.

"To be honest, I would love to write something with you." Jen admits.

"OMG, really?" Millie looks happy.

"Yeah, you're a shit talking legend. We could write a gossip column together." Jen says.

"Oh." Millie looks dejected at the reminder of her notebook.

"Being a cop is more fun than writing, you have so much power over your city! It's a lot of fun." MacArthur says.

Millie narrows her eyes. "Are you a corrupt cop?"

MacArthur laughs. "Why would you think that?"

"Everything about you is a red flag." Jen replies.

MacArthur scoffs. "Whatever."

Back to silence. No one tries to revive the conversation this time.

Confessional: Jen

"I hope I never have a conversation like that again."

Conf end

Confessional: MacArthur

"They're so lame…"

Conf end

We see Wayne pacing around in the forest for a few seconds before Kitty walks up to him. "Hey, Kat." Wayne greets.

"It's Kitty." Kitty corrects.

"I know, but nicknames are cool!" Wayne smiles.

"Well, that is true." Kitty returns the smile. "Anyways, how are you?"

"Good, just thinking." Wayne replies.

"About what?" Kitty asks, some interest but fully attentive.

"Emma."

Kitty is now paying attention, she has been waiting for this!

"What about Emma?" Kitty inquires. "The one on our team, not my sister, right?"

"No, I was just thinking about your sister for no reason." Wayne says in a shocking display of sarcasm from an unexpected source.

"Whatever, just answer." Kitty chuckles.

"I've been thinking about the fun memories we've had on this team." Wayne answers.

"Well, that's good." Kitty comments.

"And I feel confused." Wayne continues, shutting Kitty up.

"A good confused or a bad confused?" Kitty wonders.

"I don't know. I'm just not used to this feeling." Wayne states.

"What is the feeling?"

"I don't know."

Confessional: Kitty

"Bruh, I can't help with these vague statements!"

Conf end

"Can you elaborate?" Kitty questions.

"It's kind of hard when I'm unsure, but I'll try. I just feel happier around her as of late, we get along really well." Wayne replies.

"And that confuses you?"

"Yes."

Kitty takes a moment before speaking again. "Were you confused when you and Raj became friends? Were you confused when your other hockey teammates became your friends? What about anyone else in this game?" Kitty asks a barrage of questions.

"Woah, that's like… a lot to answer." Wayne looks overwhelmed. "But no, I wasn't confused."

"What's different about Emma then?" Kitty questions. Wayne shrugs, causing Kitty to facepalm. Our matchmaking legend is tired of working hard to get some answers, so she decides to take the blunt route instead. "Do you like her? The way you're talking is textbook finding out you have a crush on someone."

"Huh?" Wayne looks confused. "You think so?"

"I'm just asking you, I can't determine your feelings myself." Kitty shrugs. Wayne has a sad look. "Is everything good?"

"You might be right, but I don't know what to do about it. If I have feelings for someone, I just try to ignore it." Wayne admits.

"Why?"

"Aren't I kind of generic? There isn't really anything to like about me in a romantic way, so why bother going for a relationship." Wayne says.

"Well… that was surprisingly sad coming from you." Kitty replies awkwardly. "But don't think of yourself that way, a lot of people like being around you because you're a fun guy. There are a lot of redeeming qualities to you. I won't spell it out for you if you do like Emma, as you have to figure it out for yourself, but I'll be here if you need to talk."

Confessional: Kitty

"He basically said that I was right, but OMG my plan is finally coming to fruition!" Kitty rubs her hands together. "I need to turn my attention to Wayne fully now, as he doesn't feel confident in himself in a relationship setting. I can fix that… quickly. I am DONE waiting, my invasive tendencies of other people's love lives will NOT be slow!"

Conf end

Confessional: Wayne

Wayne is seen to be thinking. "Is Kitty right?" he thinks some more, this confessional is probably the most this man has ever used his brain. "...she probably is. But I'm nothing special. Emma dated a famous influencer, I'm just a guy who likes hockey and syrup. She wouldn't view me the same way."

Conf end

Cut to Emerald Team

Nichelle and Junior are walking in the forest. They're discussing one of Nichelle's many movies.

"That move was so UN-fun to shoot!" Nichelle adds a negative twist to one of her TDI 23 quotes.

"Really? 'Dog vs Woman: Space Adventure' is one of my favorites! What made you dislike filming it?" Junior inquires.

"The dog the production team used for the movie kept messing everything up! We had to do like, over ten takes of every scene of us fighting."

"Oh, that does seem pretty annoying."

Nichelle nods, but doesn't have a response. Junior, not wanting the conversation to end, decides to ask something else.

"What's your favorite character that you've played?"

"Hmm..." Nichelle hums. "Probably Cassie in 'Street Fighter'. She was such a sassy and smart queen, just like me! It barely felt like acting to be honest."

Normally, Junior would roll his eyes at someone making an egotistical comment. But it's Nichelle, so it's ok!

"Cool, cool."

Now Junior has nothing to say. Nichelle also doesn't want their conversation to end, but for a different reason.

"Let's talk about the game for a second, k?"

"You want an alliance? This is amazing, I-"

"Slow down!" Nichelle interrupts. "I wasn't going to offer an alliance. But, if you hear me out, I'll consider it."

Junior frowns at first, but his smile quickly returns.

"Good enough for me. What's on your mind?"

"I want to keep Duncan in. You seem to like him, so I doubt you'll disagree, but I'll explain my rationale anyway. Leshawna is getting close with Tammy and Sammy, and she already is friends with Harold. That is an easy four person alliance that we need to counter." she explains.

"I'd be down to save Duncan when we go up for elimination." Junior says. And no, he's not just saying this because he wants Nichelle to ally with him.

"I'm glad we're on the same page! You're a good kid."

"Thanks."

Confessional: Junior

"SHE CALLED ME COOL!"

Conf end

Confessional: Nichelle

"Why can't everyone else just be fans of me? It would make this a lot easier."

Conf end

We see Junior walk away as Shawn walks towards his duo partner. "What were you talking about?" Shawn inquires.

Nichelle repeats her strategic idea. If you forgot, then I apologize for your bad memory as it was mentioned 10 lines ago.

"So… Duncan could possibly stay?"

"Mhm."

Confessional: Shawn

"I'd normally be on board, but I'm a bit worried at what Sammy will think about this." Shawn grimaces. "I've already lied about the Forgiveness Alliance, siding with Duncan would probably make things worse."

Conf end

We see Duncan carving a piece of wood alone. But as usual, some random person- Axel in this case- walks in the scene to interrupt. "Hey." she says bluntly.

"What?" Duncan asks, expecting to be insulted any moment now.

"I don't hate you anymore."

"Huh?"

"I hate you, but I don't."

"Ok, now I'm just confused."

"You aren't a mortal enemy for voting out Heather anymore. Bye." Axel walks off.

Confessional: Axel

"My improved social skills were great there."

Conf end

Confessional: Duncan

"Um… I think that's good."

Conf end

We see the group of Leshawna, Tammy, Sammy, and Harold together in camp.

"Have you gone hunting with them yet?" Harold asks Sammy.

"Nope." Sammy shakes her head.

"Aren't you and Shawn friends? I thought you would've hunted together by now." Harold states.

"Meh, it's not a big deal." Sammy shrugs it off. The camera pans over to Tammy and Leshawna.

"I cannot believe that Priya did that!" Tammy gasps at Leshawna's story about Priya tearing apart the room after she lost a challenge on The Challenger.

"Yeah, the girl can get very angry." Leshawna chuckles in response.

Confessional: Leshawna

"Our team spent most of the day bonding. No need for drama up in here, know what I'm saying?"

Conf end

Cut to Amethyst Team

We see the duo of MK and Dwayne walking together to search for berries. "So, how did you sleep?" Dwayne inquires.

"Fine, why?" MK asks.

"I mean, the other day you-"

"I already told the camera I won't trauma dump, that's for lame people." MK says. Spoiler alert: she never will trauma dump about the sleeping subject, so this doesn't become ironic later. "Not sure why you're even concerned about how I am though."

Dwayne raises an eyebrow. "We've been together in this game for 50 days, of course I'm going to care about you." he says. This makes MK stop in her tracks and sigh.

"I guess I should thank you for caring about me."

"Anyways, let's get those berries." MK says. She reaches at a bush, but Dwayne grabs her arm to prevent her from touching it. MK turns to him angrily. "What are you doing?"

"MK, that bush's leaves cause rashes. If you touched it, your hand would blister." he says.

"Oh… how do you know?" MK questions.

"I've mentioned that I used to go outdoors a lot before my office job became my priority, haha. I still remember a thing or two from those days. Be careful about what you touch out here." Dwayne warns her.

"Of course Chris would put a stupid rash inducing bush here." MK glares at the bush. That poor bush just existed and got slandered by her, how sad.

Confessional: Dwayne

"I may have said this before, but MK has all the vibes of a problem child."

Conf end

Confessional: MK

"I don't understand Dwayne sometimes, but I can maaaybe admit this here. He isn't as bad as I thought he'd be at the start of the game."

Conf end

Courtney and Bridgette are talking about something that no one cares about, so let's skip to the part where Brick approaches them.

"Hey girls! I have an odd request."

Courtney raises an eyebrow. "And that would be..."

"Can you two race me? Just one lap around the camp is all."

Chet overhears the word 'race' and decides to invite himself into the conversation.

"You want to race? Count me in, I'll crush you all!"

"All? I am not participating!" Bridgette says. "Why do you want to anyway?"

Brick rubs the back of his neck. "I need the practice! You see, Jo and I have a bit of a rivalry when it comes to races. She always beats me, including one we had two days ago."

No one responds for a few seconds.

Confessional: Courtney

"Why do I feel bad?"

Conf end

"Fine, I'll race you." Courtney caves in. "Prepare to go down, challenging me never works out for people."

"I still don't want to, but I'll 'host' this race if you'd like." Bridgette offers.

"That works!"

...

A cut occurs. Brick, Chet, and Courtney are lined up, ready to race.

"First to lap around camp wins! On your mark, get set, GO!"

The race commences. Chet is SHOCKINGLY able to keep up with Courtney and Brick at the start of it. However, it doesn't take long for him to fall behind.

"Wait... WAIT! Stop running so fast!" Chet demands.

"It's a race, you're supposed to run fast!" Courtney retorts.

Chet tries to speed up, but he trips.

Confessional: Chet

"I was low on energy, I would've done better if I ate some beef prior!" Chet defends his horrendous performance.

Conf end

Brick and Courtney race as fast as they can to the finish line. Courtney notices that she's a bit ahead of Brick and feels bad, so she 'accidentally' trips to let Brick pass her.

Confessional: Courtney

"I'll throw him a bone, he needs a confidence boost before trying to outrun Jo again."

Conf end

Brick finishes. "I did it, woohoo!"

"You can totally beat Jo next time!" Bridgette cheers for him.

Confessional: Bridgette

"It was so obvious that Courtney threw it, but who am I to needlessly shatter someone's confidence?"

Conf end

Confessional: Brick

"Haha, Jo should be scared!"

Conf end

Cut to Ruby Team

We see Alejandro walk up to Raj, the latter is getting some water from the lake. "Hey, Al…ejnadro." Raj quickly corrects himself. Alejandro didn't notice the slip up to begin with, so he got lucky. "Are you getting some water too?"

"I am." Alejandro replies. Before he gets some water, he turns to Raj. "So…"

"Ooh, are we about to have a conversation?" Raj asks.

"Wow, how could you tell?" Alejandro says sarcastically. "I just have a question regarding a certain challenge."

Raj raises an eyebrow. "Which one?"

"The try not to cry." Alejandro says, causing Raj to frown at the memory.

"Why are you bringing it up?" Raj asks.

"Believe me, it's not to upset you. I just want to know if you're still angry about it." Alejandro elaborates. "You and Tyler have seemed upset for days."

"Can you blame us? If Josee ranted to you and told you how much you suck because of your brother, would you be happy?" Raj questions.

"Oof, cutting deep there, huh?" Alejandro gives a lifeless chuckle. "I suppose I wouldn't be upset. Do you think you'll forgive Josee for that eventually?"

"If she gives a sincere apology, I will." Raj replies.

Confessional: Alejandro

"I doubt Josee has the acting range to pretend to be sincere, but I want her to give it a shot. The more enemies we have, the more problems we have."

Conf end

Confessional: Raj

"Sometimes I wonder if I'm too forgiving, but I don't want to hate Josee forever. I'm sure Tyler has the same mindset!"

Conf end

We cut to the forest. Josee walks up to Tyler with a bucket of berries she picked. "Hey, I found some berries. Want some?"

"You picked them, so no." Tyler says before attempting to walk off, but instead falling into a bush.

Confessional: Josee

"I tried to show some basic politeness, and that's what I get in response? Some people."

Conf end

Confessional: Tyler

"Okay, that was too petty… I'll stop acting like that."

Conf end

We see Lightning doing some pull ups on a tree. Once he does 20, he swings and backflips off of the tree. However, he nearly lands on Cody, who was just walking by. "Woah!" the smaller man steps back in shock.

"Sha-calm down, it's just me!" Lightning flexes.

"Right… I thought you were a monster falling out of the tree at first." Cody says, causing Lightning to laugh.

"You're so funny!" Lightning continues his laughter. Cody doesn't know whether to take this as a compliment or an insult.

"Uh… thanks. So, you aren't annoyed at me?" Cody questions.

Lightning looks confused. "Annoyed at you? For what?"

"For ruining our conversation a few days ago." Cody replies.

"Why would I be annoyed at you? Lightning doesn't hold grudges!"

Confessional: Cody

"CAMERON BEGS TO DIFFER."

Conf end

"Well, that's good." Cody responds.

Confessional: Lightning

"That small guy isn't so bad, he's my favorite weak person I've come across in this game. At least his reactions to things are kind of funny and not purely nerdy." Lightning says. Ellody stans are in shambles at this.

Conf end

Dawn and Sugar are munching on some berries.

"Why are you so polite?" Sugar randomly questions Dawn's manner of eating.

"What?"

"You have no blueberry juice on your face!" Sugar points out. Unlike Dawn, her face is a mess.

"Why would I want blueberry juice on my face?" Dawn inquires.

"It's a sign that you're eatin' good!"

Yeah, Sugar definitely eats good...

"Your mom never taught you manners, did she?"

Sugar gets in Dawn's face. "What did you say to me, you little shit?"

"I said-"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Sugar repeats.

"I just have a hunch that... well... Since your mother only cared about how you performed in pageants, she never taught you manners, how to be a good person, and-"

"YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHIN' ABOUT MY MAMA! SHE RAISED A FINE YOUNG WOMAN, AND I DON'T NEED YOU SAYING NEGATIVE BULLSHIT ABOUT HER!"

Dawn covers her ears. "Please stop yelling, I'm sorry! I just think it's important to discuss, because I'm sure she's caused you a lot of trauma!"

"THE ONLY TRAUMA I HAVE IS WHEN SHE DROPPED ME AS A BABY! Head trauma that is, BUT STILL!"

Sugar flips Dawn off, then walks away.

Confessional: Sugar

"I'm gonna kill Dawn's game just like how my mama killed my pet goat because I placed second in that Miss Watermelon pageant!" Sugar vows.

Conf end

Confessional: Dawn

"I didn't mean to upset her that badly…" Dawn frowns, unaware of how blunt she came off about someone else's mother.

Conf end

Day 50

Cut to Chris standing in a field with a giant screen

We see the Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Amethyst Teams walk into the field and make their way towards their team mats. Once they are settled in, the Amber Team walks in. "Getting your first look at the new Amber Team… Eva voted out at the last elimination."

Confessional: Jo

Jo makes a jo-king face looking like she is about to cry. "Oh no, Eva is gone! I'm so sad!" she laughs after the sarcastic comments. "Eva and Ryan being out of the game is good, it must mean that Sierra is in a good position and two of my biggest enemies are out."

Conf end

Confessional: DJ

"From an outsider's perspective, that team is stupid. Eva AND Ryan? That's good for my team though, so I hope they keep at it!"

Conf end

Once the Amber Team is settled in, the Gold Team joins them. "Getting your first look at the new Gold Team… Trent voted out at the last elimination."

Confessional: Harold

"The Drama Brothers fans must be in shambles after these last few episodes. Don't worry guys, I won't be eliminated in this episode."

Conf end

Confessional: Staci

"My allies from Cyan are now gone, this sucks more than… you know at this point."

Conf end

"Alright final 46… you have hit 50 days on this Island, isn't that exciting?" Chris questions.

"Yes, I-" Mary tries to say.

"I didn't want you to actually answer, Mary." Chris rolls his eyes.

"Then why ask to begin with?" Mary sneers.

"I- you know what, I'm done arguing with you, we've been doing this too often as of late." Chris sighs.

"If you would stop making stupid decisions, then-"

"Okay, onto the challenge. This will be a memory game." Chris states.

"Wow, what an exciting celebration for Day 50." Noah quips.

"Do you want things to get more dangerous? We could get disfigured if Chris goes full on with a challenge." Kitty comments.

"Meh, I can't get any uglier according to you." Noah shrugs off.

"Is this about the Jake question in Truth or Dare?"

"Literally no one cares, please stop talking." Chris glares at the talkative twosome. "On this screen, images will appear. After ten seconds, they will be removed. Once they're removed, I will say one of the images. You will have to try and remember where it was on the screen, and you'll press the button on a tablet we'll give you. If you remember correctly, you move to the next round. If you guess incorrectly, you're eliminated. It will get progressively harder as it continues, so good luck."

Confessional: Wayne

"My memory isn't the best." Wayne comments about his Rematch episode 10 performance.

Conf end

Confessional: Chase

Chase is fake snoring. "Memory challenges? Why not something with action?"

Conf end

"Also, it's day 50… so I thought we should make this round a little more fun!" Chris chuckles.

"Oh no, it's never good when you want to make things more fun." Leshawna grimaces.

"You know me so well! Tonight, FOUR people will be going home."

Insert the usual gasps whenever this announcement happens.

"Again? There was a quad not too long ago." Bridgette notes.

"Well, we're doing it again because I said so, so there is no use in complaining. Let's get started!'

Confessional: Emma23

"I'm so tired of these stupid quad eliminations." Emma shakes her head.

Conf end

We see everyone looking at the large screen while holding tablets. "Ok, pay attention to the screen." Chris says. For ten seconds, we see one side of the screen have an apple, while the other has an orange. When it disappears, Chris speaks up again. "Which side had the apple?"

Apple: Cody, Tyler, Alejandro, Josee, Dawn, Raj, Sugar, Lightning, MacArthur, DJ, Millie, Emma23, Kitty, Chase, Wayne, Jen, Harold, Leshawna, Tammy, Nichelle, Shawn, Sammy, Axel, Duncan, Junior, Brick, Bridgette, Courtney, Chet, Dwayne, MK, Scarlett, Jo, Izzy, Mary, Sky, Bowie, Noah, Sierra, Staci, Scott, Dakota, Blaineley, Jacques, Anne Maria, Taylor

Orange: N/A

"Everyone got it right. Time for the challenge to get harder!" The screen splits into four. We see an apple, orange, banana, and lemon. "Where was the banana?"

Apple: N/A

Orange: N/A

Banana: Cody, Tyler, Alejandro, Josee, Dawn, Raj, Sugar, Lightning, MacArthur, DJ, Millie, Emma23, Kitty, Chase, Wayne, Jen, Harold, Leshawna, Tammy, Nichelle, Shawn, Sammy, Axel, Duncan, Junior, Brick, Bridgette, Courtney, Chet, Dwayne, MK, Scarlett, Jo, Izzy, Mary, Sky, Bowie, Noah, Sierra, Staci, Scott, Dakota, Blaineley, Jacques, Anne Maria, Taylor

Lemon: N/A

"Everyone is right again, but now it's time to pick up the pace!" Chris smirks. The screen is now split into eight. Orange, Lemon, Apple, Banana, Pineapple, Lime, Strawberry, and Plum. After ten seconds, Chris speaks again. "Where was the lemon?"

Orange: Emma23, Wayne

Lemon: Cody, Tyler, Alejandro, Josee, Dawn, MacArthur, DJ, Millie, Kitty, Chase, Jen, Harold, Leshawna, Tammy, Nichelle, Sammy, Duncan, Junior, Bridgette, Courtney, MK, Scarlett, Jo, Izzy, Mary, Sky, Bowie, Noah, Sierra, Staci, Scott, Jacques, Anne Maria, Taylor

Apple: Raj, Chet

Banana: Shawn, Axel, Blaineley

"Emma, Wayne, Raj, Chet, Shawn, Axel, Blaineley, Dwayne, Dakota, Lightning, Sugar, and Brick are all out!"

Remaining:

Ruby: Cody, Tyler, Alejandro, Josee, Dawn

Sapphire: MacArthur, DJ, Millie, Kitty, Chase, Jen

Emerald: Harold, Leshawna, Tammy, Nichelle, Sammy, Duncan, Junior

Amethyst: Bridgette, Courtney, MK, Scarlett, Jo

Amber: Izzy, Mary, Sky, Bowie, Noah, Sierra, Staci

Gold: Scott, Jacques, Anne Maria, Taylor

The screen multiplies into 32 sections, now four of each previously mentioned item. After ten seconds, it's time for the next round. "Pick a pineapple slot."

Orange: Staci

Lemon: Millie, Taylor

Apple: MacArthur, Jo

Banana: Cody, Tyler, Chase, Bridgette

Pineapple: Alejandro, DJ, Kitty, Jen, Leshawna, Tammy, Duncan, Courtney, MK, Scarlett, Izzy, Mary, Sky, Bowie, Scott, Anne Maria

Strawberry: Harold, Nichelle, Sammy

Plum: Noah

"Staci, Millie, Taylor, MacArthur, Jo, Cody, Tyler, Chase, Bridgette, Dawn, Josee, Junior, Sierra, Jacques, Harold, Nichelle, Sammy, AND Noah are all out this round!" Chris exclaims. "A lot of names out after that one, let's see who's left."

Remaining:

Ruby: Alejandro

Sapphire: DJ, Kitty, Jen

Emerald: Leshawna, Tammy, Duncan

Amethyst: Courtney, MK, Scarlett

Amber: Izzy, Mary, Sky, Bowie

Gold: Scott, Anne Maria

"This next round could end it for multiple teams." Chris says as the screen multiplies into 64 spots, 8 screens having each item. "Pick a plum slot."

Orange: MK

Lemon: N/A

Apple: Mary

Banana: Bowie

Pineapple: Scarlett

Lime: Tammy, Leshawna, Sky

Strawberry: Alejandro, DJ, Kitty, Courtney

Plum: Jen, Duncan, Izzy, Scott, Anne Maria

"MK, Mary, Bowie, Scarlett, Tammy, Leshawna, Sky, Alejandro, DJ, Kitty, and Courtney are out! That means the Ruby and Amethyst Teams are the first two teams up for elimination." Chris says, getting disappointed groans from the losers. "It's Jen for Sapphire, Duncan for Emerald, Izzy for Amber, and Scott as well as Anne Maria for Gold. This may be the last round."

The screen doesn't multiply this time and we wait for 10 seconds. "Pick a strawberry slot."

Orange: N/A

Lemon: N/A

Apple: N/A

Banana: N/A

Pineapple: Duncan

Lime: Izzy

Strawberry: Jen, Scott

Plum: Anne Maria

"And that's it!" Chris announces. "Jen wins it for Sapphire, and Scott wins it for Gold, both teams are safe! That means I will be seeing the Ruby, Amethyst, Amber, and Emerald Teams tonight. Four of you will be going home on Day 50, you have until tonight to figure out who that's going to be."

Confessional: Jacques

"We won, burning the sage worked!"

Conf end

Confessional: Scott

"I put a lot of effort into saving myself today."

Conf end

Confessional: Jen

"THIS is why choosing me over Justin was a great idea."

Confessional: Sugar

"I know who I want gone!"

Conf end

Confessional: Tyler

"I know who I want gone!" Tyler unknowingly repeats Sugar. Get an original confessional, gosh!

Conf end

Confessional: Courtney

"We will probably go to a tiebreaker… great."

Conf end

Confessional: Scarlett

"I'll talk with Jo today and see what we can do."

Conf end

Confessional: Noah

"I was nervous last time, but the feeling is even worse now… stupid quad eliminations, I hate them so much!"

Conf end

Confessional: Sammy

"Hopefully this is the end of the road for Duncan…"

Conf end

Confessional: Nichelle

"This could easily be the end of the road for Duncan, but your girl has other plans." Nichelle smirks.

Conf end

Cut to Ruby Team

"Ugh, another loss." Josee puts her head in her hands in annoyance as she talks to Alejandro in the forest. "And I doubt that we can do anything to save ourselves this time."

"I wouldn't quite say that. We could easily get Lightning to vote for Dawn or Cody as they're physically weaker than the rest of the team." Alejandro responds with more confidence.

"That's only three, that won't be enough." Josee counters.

"Three isn't enough, but four will be good enough to at least tie the vote, and I know the two of us could crush Cody or Dawn in a tiebreaker with our eyes closed and hands behind our backs, have faith in us." Alejandro says, getting a smile out of the ice dancer.

"Well, I guess you're right. Sugar doesn't seem as sensitive as the others, she might be our best bet." Josee states.

Alejandro hums. "Your attitude right there doesn't help though, I should make you aware of that."

"What do you mean?" Josee raises an eyebrow.

"You insulted people brutally. I immensely respect what you did, but boiling what you did down to nothing but 'they're too sensitive' is why you don't really connect with other people's feelings. Take it from the person who had to deal with Owen, you have to be the one to adapt if you're a villain, or else you'll be a target like you are right now." Alejandro explains.

Josee lets out a long sigh. "I guess you're right, but how would I even make it up to Tyler and Raj? Tyler finds a way to insult me any chance he gets." Josee says.

"Genuinely apologize to them… or at least make it seem genuine, not sure if you feel bad or not." Alejandro shrugs.

"It got us the win, I can't feel too bad about it on that front." Josee shrugs back, this duo having very loose shoulders today it seems. "But I guess I can try that."

"I know Raj would appreciate it, you'll just have to hope Tyler will too." Alejandro nods.

"Alright, but we need to focus on getting me through this vote first and foremost."

Confessional: Josee

"I hate this feeling of having no control. I miss the race when I wasn't at the mercy of others… and I miss Nichelle and Shawn too, they were way better teammates than who I'm currently stuck with." Josee looks nostalgic even though it's only been ten days since Green Team ended.

Conf end

Confessional: Alejandro

"I need to be the one who takes charge on saving the Forgiveness Alliance tonight. Time to get some talks going."

Conf end

We see Raj and Tyler talking. "So… who do we vote for?" Raj questions.

"Isn't it obvious? Josee got lucky that B was sketchy last time, it's the only reason we didn't vote for her. Now that B is gone, we can take her out." Tyler answers with revenge on his mind.

"Fair. Who else do you think would vote for her?" Raj wonders.

"Cody, Dawn, and probably Sugar. I think Lightning is just going to vote for Dawn." Tyler responds. "We should be glad that we're jocks, we aren't his target!"

"Jocks rule!" Raj high fives Tyler.

"They sure do! Anyways, let's talk to the others just to be sure." Tyler turns around to go find someone. Luckily for him, he doesn't have to go far as Dawn is standing nearby. This startles Tyler. "Woah! Dawn, when did you get here?"

"A moment ago." Dawn replies.

"But I didn't-"

"Anyways, I would be alright with voting Josee, though my preferred option is Sugar. She may be a little in too deep, she finds your friendship weird." Dawn says.

"Huh? Why?" Raj inquires.

"She finds the concept of friends in general strange, I doubt she has ever had any real ones." Dawn states in a moment of slight oversharing.

"That sounds… really sad." Raj frowns. "Maybe she-"

"We're getting off track. I'll vote for Josee, only someone with a cruel aura would do what she did in that challenge." Dawn informs the duo of her voting decision.

"Alright, thanks Dawn!" Tyler smiles. He runs off to go find Cody or Sugar, but he runs into a tree trying.

Confessional: Tyler

"Ow… but I might be doing something cool again!"

Conf end

Confessional: Dawn

"I hope he gets what he needs out of targeting her, though I worry his hyper fixation on Josee will be his downfall."

Conf end

We see Lightning doing push ups. "Hey Lightning, we need to talk." Alejandro says. Lightning stops his push ups to look at his former villains teammate.

"What do you need, can't you see that I'm busy?" Lightning looks slightly annoyed.

"I can assure you that this conversation is way more important than your pushups." Alejandro says.

"Whatever. Just tell me who you want to vote for. If it isn't Dawn, I'll just say yes without meaning it so you can leave me alone." Lightning essentially informs Alejandro of his voting preference, which Alejandro definitely takes note of.

"So, you want Dawn gone?" Alejandro smiles. "Your wish is my command. Josee and I will be voting for her, we just need one more to make it a tie at minimum."

"Well, go do that then." Lightning shoos him off.

Confessional: Lightning

"People are getting the sense to vote for one of our weaklings? I'm so proud of the team for gaining brain cells, it took way too sha-long for that to happen."

Conf end

We see Sugar and Tyler together. "How would you feel about voting for Josee?" Tyler inquires.

"Why can't it be Dawn?" Sugar taps her foot.

"Josee is a bigger threat, and she's a… I won't say it." Tyler prevents himself from saying something bad.

"A what?"

"I'd rather not cuss."

"She's a bitch? A cunt? A fuc-"

"Stop, yes, that's what I mean." Tyler cuts her off, not wanting to hear any more of this.

"I guess that's true, but I would still prefer Dawn to go. I prefer dusk anyways!" Sugar says with her infinite wisdom.

"Please, won't you think about it?"

"I-" Sugar was about to shut him down, but she sighs. "I will."

Confessional: Sugar

"As much as I would love to send the granola hippie home, Josee and Alejandro are tight. If Alejandro finds out that I got Heather booted, then I'd have two enemies after me." Sugar notes her situation with a conflicted look on her face.

Conf end

We see Cody walking up to Lightning, who has finished her exercise. "Hey…" Cody greets a tad meekly, worried about upsetting Lightning. Lightning waves with a bit of fatigue, causing Cody to look confused. "Oh, I thought I would get yelled at to hurry up and say what I needed to say."

"Do you want me to?" Lightning looks confused.

"No! I like this." Cody chuckles. "Anyways, what have you heard about the vote?"

"Dawn. Alejandro and Josee are voting for her." Lightning informs.

"Oh barbecue sauce, I haven't heard about that. I just know that a few of the others want to vote out Josee for being mean." Cody informs back.

"Hell no, are these people sha-stupid? To think I said this team was becoming smarter in the confessional!" Lightning throws his hands in the air. "Why would we get rid of Josee right now, the woman is an Olympic gold medalist! Dawn probably screams at people who use paper towels and talks to rats, it's clear who the more valuable teammate actually is. You'll be smart and vote for Dawn, right?"

Cody hesitates. "I'm not sure…"

"Why not?" Lightning puts his hands on his hips.

"You vote based on challenge strength. We've had all these conversations since this phase started, but I can't help but feel that once Dawn is gone, I will surely be your next target." Cody admits with a frown, one which Lightning returns. "Be honest. Would I be your next target if we lose again?"

Lightning taps the side of his leg. "Lightning knows he bases things off of challenge strength a lot, but you're different from Dawn."

Cody raises an eyebrow. "What do you mean different?"

Lightning shakes his head. "I don't sha-know." he says. Neither speak.

Confessional: Cody

"Maybe all of our conversations are making him see me as more than just a challenge liability?" Cody questions, trying to make something of that conversation. "Voting Dawn would be a huge risk, but something inside of me is saying to just trust Lightning…"

Conf end

We cut to Cody, Tyler, Raj, and Sugar. "Alright ding dongs, who are you all officially going with? Josee or Dawn?" Sugar questions.

"Ding dongs?" Cody repeats her words.

"SHUT UP AND ANSWER!" Sugar yells, a common occurrence for the loudmouth.

"I want Josee." Raj inputs.

"Same." Tyler adds. "What about you two?"

Sugar and Cody share a glance.

Confessional: Raj

"Tyler and I went with what they both wanted, but both of them seemed really conflicted on what they wanted to do."

Conf end

Cut to Amethyst Team

We see MK in her camerawoman design walking up to a conversation that Jo, Brick, Courtney, and Bridgette are having. "Alright squad, we need to be in top shape for this upcoming tiebreaker. We don't know who they will choose to go into it, but all of us need to be prepared for the scenario that it is them." Brick says.

"Yeah, we know." Jo tries not to roll her eyes. "We need to decide who to vote for though. It needs to be a balance of who will be easy to beat in a tiebreaker, and who we feel like an idol won't be played on."

"I'd be shocked if any of us lost to any of them in a tiebreaker, they're all very… not athletic." Courtney shades.

"She got us there." MK thinks.

"We could vote for Dwayne again, but he's probably the most likely option they'll play the idol for." Bridgette inputs.

"Maybe we should vote for Scarlett?" Brick suggests. "She is an attempted murderer after all, that's pretty serious."

"No." Jo shuts down. "She would be the toughest competition in a tiebreaker. If it's a quiz or something, we have no shot."

"If it's an intelligence challenge like you're predicting, then MK would stand a better chance than Chet. Does he seem good at anything to you guys?" Bridgette questions.

"If I was Chet, I'd be so offended." MK thinks.

"No." Jo and Courtney reply in unison.

"I'm sure he's good at something." Brick tries to be polite. "But sure, we can vote for him."

Confessional: MK

"At least it's not me again, I'm not sure if I could win another tiebreaker. Ella is way weaker than all of them."

Conf end

Confessional: Jo

"Had to make sure Scarlett was protected there."

Conf end

We cut to Dwayne, Chet, and Scarlett awaiting MK's return. "This is taking forever." Chet whines.

"I know, that other alliance talks too much." Dwayne agrees.

"Must be annoying to hear someone talk too much, right?" Scarlett deadpans.

"For sure."

MK runs in. "I'm here!"

"Hi." Chet waves. "Who are they targeting?"

"You."

"WHAT? HOW DARE THEY!" Chet rages.

"They think you suck at challenges and will be an easy beat in the tiebreaker." MK calmly replies.

"That is so rude of them to say." Chet growls. "Which one of them will I crush in the tiebreaker?"

"Bridgette is the weakest, she's our best bet." Scarlett says.

"And even then, she's very strong in her own way… so good luck." MK states.

"Can't we try to find the idol and play it on me?" Chet suggests.

"Good idea, why didn't we think of searching yet?" Dwayne wonders.

"Doesn't matter, let's go." Chet says before he, MK, and Dwayne begin searching. Scarlett on the other hand has another destination to go to.

Confessional: Chet

"Voting for me? What did I do wrong?!"

Conf end

We see Jo and Scarlett standing together. "Alright, let's make this quick so we don't look suspicious." Scarlett states.

"Yeah, that wouldn't be sigma." Jo mocks Scarlett's attitude in the previous challenge.

"Shut it. Anyways, my side is voting for Bridgette." Scarlett says.

"Mine is voting for Chet." Jo replies. "Which one of us is going to flip?"

Scarlett shakes her head. "Neither of us need to flip yet. Let them go to a tiebreaker, it doesn't matter who wins it. We will keep our secret alliance a secret if we just let them fight each other for now." Scarlett shuts down the notion of flipping.

Jo nods. "That's smart."

Confessional: Scarlett

"Of course I'm smart, delaying the bridge burning process is always the correct decision." She takes a few moments to think before smiling. "You know… I think I am actually having a bit of fun with this whole strategizing thing. Maybe what I took away from Brainzilla was the wrong lesson. Being smart isn't the unfun part, how I utilized it wasn't the best."

Conf end

Cut to Amber Team

We see Sierra walk up to Mary, who is picking some berries. "Hi Ellody!" Sierra greets.

"Huh?" Mary turns around in confusion. "I am Mary, not Ellody."

"Sorry, I'm still used to Ellody!"

"Hasn't she been gone for a long time?"

"DO NOT REMIND ME."

"Ok, sorry." Mary backs up a little. "Anyways, I guess we should talk about tonight's vote."

"True!" Sierra smiles. "So… are Bowie and Noah targets for you?"

"Potentially, do you see any other options?" Mary questions.

Sierra hesitates before responding, unsure if she should say it. "Would Sky be out of the question?"

Mary looks a bit surprised. "Sky?"

"I've talked to her the least." Sierra shrugs.

"Hm… give me a second to think."

"Alright, I'll leave so you can think-"

"Jinkies, I just said a second." Mary says. "I'm done thinking."

"Oh."

"If the others are on board, then I am too." Mary states.

"EEEE, yay!"

Confessional: Sierra

"It was a bit risky telling Mary that to her face, but I had to. Burning an ally would be stupid, every Total Drama fan knows this!"

Conf end

We see Bowie and Noah talking. "Do you think Sierra can convince the others to get rid of Sky?" Noah wonders.

"Maybe, but we can't let her do the work on her own. Mary and I have a decent connection, I can talk to her. And you can talk to Staci." Bowie replies.

"Uh, why Staci?" Noah asks.

"She's probably easy to manipulate." Bowie shrugs.

"Fair point."

We cut to Sky, Izzy, and Staci. "So, you guys are okay with voting for Bowie?" Sky asks.

"Sure, better him than Noah!" Izzy replies.

"Haha, he will totally ugly cry on TV!" Staci exclaims, wanting a brutal blindside reaction.

"Is that something to laugh about?" Sky wonders. "Whatever, let's get the others on board."

We see Bowie and Mary. "Heyyyy-"

"Greetings." Mary interrupts.

"Can't you add a little pizazz to the way you talk? Who says 'greetings' unironically? No offense, but Chris was right about the nerd emoji thing." Bowie shades.

"Chris can also announce you as the 57th person voted out." Mary says, causing Bowie to shiver. "Relax, I was making a joke. Pretty humorous, was it not?"

"I'd like to not imagine that joke…" Bowie shudders.

"Yeesh, I attempt being the humorous type and that's the response I get." Mary sighs. "Anyways, about the vote. I assume you heard Sky was an option?"

"I did. I know she's a member of your phase 1 team, but-"

Mary looks up unexpectedly. "Do you see that?"

Bowie looks confused, but he also looks up at the sky. "Uh, no?"

"I'm predicting a stormy forecast, because Sky's game is about to get rained on, I'm in." Mary says.

Bowie claps. "Ok, that was way better than the Chris thing a moment ago. I love Sky jokes!"

"Indeed."

Confessional: Bowie

"I'm shocked that Mary got on board so easily, I guess that she wasn't as close to Sky as I thought."

Conf end

Confessional: Mary

"You may be wondering why I would take Sky out. The truth is, I have plenty of other pawns in Izzy, Staci, and to a lesser degree Sierra. Sky isn't needed as much as she was early on. But I would actually pushback on this vote if it wasn't for her mystery advantage. I don't know what the advantage entails, I just know that I want it to be mine. As Sammy's advantage clearly demonstrated, those are threatening. I just need to find a way to eliminate Sky, yet still snatch her advantage."

Conf end

We see Noah and Staci. "Hi." Noah unenthusiastically greets.

"Wow, that was the coldest 'hi' I have ever heard, haha." Staci laughs.

"I doubt that." Noah replies.

"Of course you would doubt that, you probably have clinical depression and feel the need to see the worst in everything because your life sucks or something!" Staci earnestly rants, causing Noah to look uncomfortable. "Anyways, what do you need?"

"Can you vote for Sky?"

"I don't know." Staci shrugs.

"What do you mean?"

"I'll have to talk to someone about this. Bye!" Staci says before walking off.

Confessional: Noah

"Wow, very easy to manipulate, right Bowie?" Noah groans while shaking his head.

Conf end

We see Staci, Mary, and Izzy. "Alright, so there have been two conflicting sides. We could either vote for Bowie, or we could vote for Sky." Mary starts a conversation with the trio.

"Who are we voting for?" Izzy wonders.

"Both." Mary replies.

"Haha, you're so dumb!" Staci laughs. "You can't vote for two people at once. I thought you were a genius, how do you forget simple rules?"

Confessional: Mary

Mary takes a deep breath of frustration. "The things I put up with for a pawn vote…"

Conf end

"Let me finish. Staci, you should vote for Sky. Izzy and I will vote for Bowie." Mary informs.

"Okay!" Izzy doesn't question it.

"Do you have a reason for splitting our votes?" Staci inquires.

"Trust me Staci, there's a reason for everything."

Confessional: Staci

"That was a bit cryptic and didn't answer the question, that reminds me of my politician friends!"

Conf end

Confessional: Mary

"A 4-3 vote would sell this as an unexpected blindside against the former Pink Team members. I just need to act like I'm surprised about her elimination, then she will give me the advantage since from her perspective, I clearly would need it at the moment." Mary lays out her plan.

Conf end

We see Sky and Mary together. "So, do you think the votes are on Bowie?" Sky asks.

"Indeed they are. I talked to Staci, Izzy, and Sierra. All of them are on board with booting Bowie, and I suspect that Noah wouldn't be opposed either. It will either be a 5-2 or a 6-1 tonight." Mary replies.

"Well, that's good to hear." Sky smiles.

"I must let you know though, that the minority of the votes are likely going to you." Mary says.

Sky frowns. "I guess that isn't too unexpected. But thank you for going with me on this vote after we voted out Eva last time, it's nice to have the favor returned."

"Of course, friends give and take after all." Mary responds.

"Yup…" Sky says before a slight shiver comes over her. "I know you just said only Bowie and maybe Noah will vote for me, but yeesh, it's still a little bit nerve racking! My paranoid side is scared that it will be me, haha."

"Well don't worry, I'll never vote for you." Mary assures. "I swear on my sister's grave."

Sky smiles. "I won't vote for you either, I'll also swear on my sister's grave!"

Mary and Sky embrace.

Cut to Emerald Team

We see everyone except Duncan together in the camp. "So, can it please be Duncan? The reasons for getting him out shouldn't even have to be said at this point, the man is a big threat." Sammy says.

"Agreed. He has merged every time." Tammy states.

"Not to mention that the guy is a complete jackass." Leshawna adds.

"The way he treated me was awful, I can't wait to finally outlast him!" Harold looks ready.

"We don't need a punk to drag down team morale." Nichelle inputs. "I am very good with voting him out. Easy 8-1, what do we say?"

"I'm down, let's keep the team unity." Axel says.

"I'm in." Shawn adds.

"I guess." Junior shrugs, though he doesn't look super thrilled.

Confessional: Junior

"Duncan is kind of cool, too bad half the team has a grudge against him."

Conf end

We cut to later in the day where Nichelle, Axel, and Junior are talking. "Alright guys, we need to talk about tonight." Nichelle starts. "As you guys know, I actually want to target Harold instead of Duncan tonight. Agreeing publicly was just to give them a false sense of security."

"Okay, I was confused by your willingness to join in on their plan for a second." Axel says.

"I actually like this new plan a lot more!" Junior smiles. "Harold is so weird, he just walked up to me the first day this phase started to tell me random facts about my hat and eyebrows."

"...sounds like him alright." Nichelle gives a sympathetic frown.

"Anyways, we are only three people. Between us and Duncan, that's only four. Who else do you think you could flip?" Junior questions.

"Shawn."

Confessional: Nichelle

"I already told Shawn that I was considering keeping Duncan, but now I have to really hammer the point home that it is the move that's in our best interest moving forward."

Conf end

We cut to Nichelle and Shawn. "Is it going well, Nichelle?" Shawn greets before facepalming at the rhyme. "That was a stupid greeting, sorry."

"That greeting needs to be gone, Shawn." Nichelle replies with a similar stupid rhyme, so now they're even. "Anyways… remember what I said yesterday about possibly keeping Duncan?"

"Uh, yeah." Shawn looks like he knows where this is going already.

"We need to boot Harold." Nichelle states.

"I…" Shawn looks hesitant.

"What's stopping you from being on board? It's clearly our best move. We need to work with Axel, Junior, and Duncan to have a secure majority. Get Sammy on board, use your friendship to our advantage." Nichelle encourages, though she deflates at seeing Shawn still looking hesitant.

"I know Sammy outside of the game, and after everything she's been through… wouldn't it be wrong to keep Duncan after what he did?" Shawn wonders out loud.

"Not at all. He and Amy aren't even dating anymore, and to be frank, we aren't playing the game around her trauma. 10 million dollars are on the line after all, this slightly questionable moral dilemma isn't worth losing out on that much money, and you know I'm right." Nichelle responds.

"I… I guess I can tell her that we're voting for Harold, I won't completely blindside her on this one." Shawn says.

"Good. Should be a 6-3, only Leshawna and Tammy will come back confused." Nichelle smiles. She notices that Shawn still looks a bit conflicted and places a hand on his shoulder. "I know it could come off weird, but this isn't at all defending what Amy did. We are making the best move for our game by getting rid of someone that could be in the majority. I know your outside the game stuff makes this more complicated though, and I'm sorry if this stresses you out."

Confessional: Shawn

"Well, she has some valid points… it's not endorsing what Amy did, Duncan clearly regrets this relationship ever happening."

Conf end

Confessional: Nichelle

"I am praying that he listens to reason. Sammy better not make things complicated when she finds out…"

Conf end

We see Leshawna and Harold talking. "I'm so ready for tonight." Harold smiles. "After everything I've been put through, I can finally vote him out!"

"Baby, revenge will be sweet!" Leshawna chuckles.

We see Duncan sitting alone. "Hey." Junior greets.

"Uh, hi." Duncan replies with a frown.

"Why are you just sitting there?" Junior asks.

"I feel like I'm screwed, most of the team hates me. I'm not going out without a fight, but this might be my last day on Total Drama." Duncan shakes his head.

"...what if I told you it might not be?"

Confessional: Duncan

"I can't believe that there is still hope… why am I being so unconfident? I'm Duncan for crying out loud!"

Conf end

We see Sammy and Shawn together. "Uh, hi! How are you feeling?" Shawn asks.

"Good, getting rid of Duncan will be really cathartic after he tried to compare our situations." Sammy smiles.

"Uh… about that." Shawn says slowly, getting Sammy's attention. "How would you feel about voting for Harold?"

Sammy laughs. "Why would I do that?"

"The majority of the team is voting for Harold." Shawn decides to be blunt.

"I- excuse me? Why are we voting for Harold? Duncan is horrible, there is no excuse to keep him around!" Sammy starts getting upset.

"Strategy reasons." Shawn says quietly.

"Strategy? This guy was a toxic bully for years!" Sammy starts getting upset. "Who is voting for him?"

"Nichelle, Axel, Junior, and Duncan. We can too." Shawn states, though he looks a lot more nervous than he did at the beginning of the conversation.

"Those snakes…" Sammy growls at the mention of Nichelle, Axel, and Junior. "Let's go with Leshawna, Tammy, and Harold instead!"

"I-"

"Sorry to interrupt, but it's time for the elimination. Get ready to head to the campfire and stop talking." a cameraman informs the duo.

Confessional: Shawn

"That didn't go too well…"

Conf end

Confessional: Sammy

"I- I can't have this happen! I need to make sure Duncan goes home, even if I have to make a fuss at the last second."

Cut to Ruby Team at the elimination ceremony

"Welcome Ruby Team to your second elimination ceremony. One of you is about to go home after 50 days of competing. Get voting and we'll see who that poor soul is!"

Voting

"Sorry Josee, but you're not the nicest person and I know others want to target you." Dawn frowns while voting Josee.

"We got to get rid of the weak, sorry creepy girl." Lightning apologetically votes for Dawn.

"It better be you and not me. If it's a tie, then I'm sorry, but I will crush you." Josee votes for Dawn.

"Josee is my #1 ally, and I don't plan on losing her now." Alejandro votes for Dawn.

Raj looks back at his team before writing a name.

Tyler puts his vote into the urn.

Cody takes a nervous breath as he puts the cap back on the pen.

Sugar looks conflicted while putting her vote in the urn.

Voting Over

"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… Dawn."

Dawn has a neutral expression.

"2nd vote… Dawn."

"3rd vote… Dawn. 3 votes for Dawn."

Dawn nods.

"4th vote… Josee."

Josee sighs in annoyance.

"5th vote… Dawn. That's 4 votes for Dawn, 1 vote for Josee."

Josee's annoyance turns into relief while Dawn looks disappointed.

"55th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate… Dawn. That's 5 votes, you've been eliminated."

Dawn shakes her head. "It's sad that my time in the game is cut short." the aura whisperer frowns. "I won't be bitter, but I must give some warnings. Those who refuse to change, drop grudges, or break their bad habits will be in for a rude awakening soon. Please try to end this last season on a good note, don't let this experience be a regret."

Sugar glares at Dawn during this speech.

"Good luck." Dawn waves before making her exit.

Confessional: Cody

"Maybe I'm blindly optimistic by voting out my challenge weakness shield, but something is telling me that it will work out."

Conf end

Confessional: Lightning

"Finally this team came to its senses!"

Conf end

Confessional: Tyler

Tyler frowns. "I wanted Josee, but there weren't enough people who wanted to vote for her. I had to cut my losses and vote for Dawn."

Conf end

Confessional: Josee

"YES YES YES! I am still in it to win it!"

Conf end

Confessional: Sugar

"Dawn annoys me more, and I feel like Alejandro and Josee won't find out about what happened soon. We can get rid of one of them next time!" Sugar gives her reasoning. "Anyways, now that that over invasive hippie is gone, no one can try to tell me that my way of thinking is wrong."

She pauses.

"Cause it's not."

Conf end

The Ruby Team exits and the Amethyst Team enters

"Welcome Amethyst Team, you're another team that is about to go down to just seven members. Get voting."

"Sorry Chet, but you're our best bet. Hey, that rhymed." Bridgette chuckles.

"Bridgette, I will CRUSH YOU!" Chet vows.

Courtney writes a name down without emotion.

Brick looks back while writing a name.

MK looks nervous as she finishes writing.

Dwayne smiles while putting his vote in the urn.

Scarlett calmly closes the urn after putting a name in.

Jo smirks while writing a name.

Voting Over

"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… Chet."

Chet looks upset.

"2nd vote… Chet."

"3rd vote… Bridgette."

Bridgette gulps, now knowing she is Operation: TYTO's target.

"4th vote… Bridgette. That's 2 votes Bridgette, 2 votes Chet."

"5th vote… Bridgette."

"6th vote… Chet. 3 votes Bridgette, 3 votes Chet."

The two look at each other.

"7th vote… Bridgette. 4 votes Bridgette, 3 votes Chet, 1 vote left…"

"Last vote… Chet. We're tied. We will hold a revote, everyone except Bridgette and Chet will vote again. If we have another tie, we will head to a tiebreaker challenge. Now, go to the voting booth and vote again!"

We get a quick cut of everyone voting before cutting back to the campfire

Voting Over

"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… Chet."

"2nd vote… Bridgette."

"3rd vote… Chet."

"4th vote… Bridgette."

"5th vote… Chet.

"Last vote… Bridgette. We are tied! Chef, bring out the tiebreaker wheel!"

Chef comes out with the tiebreaker wheel as everyone looks tense. Chef spins the wheel and it lands on "One Clean Motion."

"What is that, a cleaning challenge?" Chet questions. "If so, I'm screwed against a woman."

"Fuck you!" Bridgette growls.

"Nope. Follow me to the beach."

We cut to the beach that is lit up. We see two long wooden structures. "As you guys can see, there are two structures with wires all around it that are connected to them. You each have 50 large dominos. You will have to make your way around and place all of your dominos in a way that can make them all fall over in succession in the end. The tripwires are going to be your greatest enemy, as touching them could end up shaking your structure, which will knock your dominos to the ground. The first person to place all their dominos and push them over will live to see another day. The loser goes home."

Confessional: Jo

"Bridgette should easily win this, Chet isn't exactly small enough to avoid all the wires."

Conf end

Confessional: Dwayne

"Last time, I was rooting for MK in a tiebreaker, and she pulled through. I hope Chet can do the same!"

Conf end

We see Chet and Bridgette ready to begin. "GO!" Chris yells.

Chet grabs a bunch of dominos at once, while Bridgette only grabs a few. Chet has too many in his hands at once, causing him to drop some. He tries to bend over to pick them up, but he trips and falls over. "Chet, what are you doing?" MK questions. "Don't try to use too many at once!"

"Sorry!" he apologizes before coming up with an idea. He throws some dominos on the ground at the other end.

Confessional: Chet

"If I have dominos already at the other end waiting for me, I won't have to keep going back and increase the risk of hitting a wire. I think I'm graceful enough to avoid hitting the wires too much when I'm not carrying a lot, I do gymnastics after all. Some idiotic klutz can't do that."

Conf end

On the other side, we see Bridgette heading to the other end entirely.

"Bridgette, you could've placed them at the beginning!" Courtney says.

"Calm down, I got this." Bridgette assures.

Confessional: Bridgette

"I'm going to start at the end instead of the beginning. I will be behind to start, but I can easily catch up by the end since by the time I'm at the last few dominos, I can just place them right at the start instead of risking my entire line on a long trek to the end."

Conf end

Chet is placing some dominos at the beginning now that he has all of his spread out on the ground. He goes a little too quickly and bumps into an elevated wire, causing his few dominos to fall over. "Better to have this happen now than later…" he mutters to himself.

Bridgette is heading over with her second handful. She accidentally stumbles and falls over, knocking her dominos down. "Crap!"

Confessional: Bridgette

Bridgette looks worried. "My klutziness could be the death of me!"

Conf end

"It's okay Bridgette, you can still recover from this!" Brick encourages. Bridgette gets back to placing her dominos as Chet is making some good progress now, as he is of the way done with his line.

"Keep it up." Scarlett watches intently.

"You got this!" MK cheers her fellow Operation: TYTO founding father on. Chet lightly hits a tripwire on the ground, but it only shakes and makes a domino fall over, luckily for him.

Bridgette gets her dominos back in place before heading back for more. Chet is now halfway done.

"You're not out of this yet!" Jo says.

We see a time skip as more and more are placed. Chet is nearing the end as Bridgette is catching up quickly, as her trips become shorter and shorter. "Just a few left, make sure that they're spaced out well enough so you can push them one after the other." MK gives some strategy.

"I will." Chet assures as he puts his last two dominos on. He begins heading back, but he will have to make it the whole way without hitting any wires if he wants to win.

"He's coming back, come on!" Courtney shouts in worry. This gets Bridgette to hurry up while Chet is taking his time to check his dominos to make sure that they will fall correctly. Not to mention, he's on the lookout to not hit a wire.

Bridgette only has ten left as Chet gets closer. Luckily for Bridgette, she started at the end, so she wastes no time placing her dominos. Chet is seconds away from making it past the wires. Bridgette quickly places her last few down and tries to make it through the last few wires.

So quickly that her foot catches onto it, causing her to trip and the ground, hurting her knee. Every single domino falls off her structure, causing her to gasp as Courtney and Brick look dejected. Jo shakes her head as Bridgette can only watch while Chet pushes his dominos over, each one acting as a clock ticking towards doomsday.

That doomsday is Bridgette's game. "Chet knocks down all of his dominos and stays alive! Bridgette, I am sorry to say that you are the 56th person eliminated from Total Drama Ultimate. Thanks for playing!"

Bridgette sits on the ground while holding her now bloody knee as she begins crying, clearly distraught about this elimination. Courtney runs over to her. "I'm so sorry…"

Bridgette wipes the tears from her eyes as Brick pulls her to her feet. "You tried your best, sorry it ended like this."

"Bye." Jo adds without much emotion.

"Bridgette, it's time for you to go." Chris gestures at her to leave.

"Can I walk her out?" Courtney questions.

"Knock yourself out… not literally though, that would make the other teams have to wait even longer." Chris says.

"I was so close, I shouldn't have gotten in a hurry in the end." Bridgette facepalms at herself, obviously frustrated.

"This sucks, you were my closest ally on this team and now those guys have the majority." Courtney stomps her foot in annoyance.

"Courtney, I know you can find a way out of this. You're a smart person who always has a plan. Find a way to counter them." Bridgette encourages. "One of the highlights of this experience was reconnecting with you, I'm glad we managed to become friends again."

"Yeah.. I am too." Courtney smiles. The duo hugs before Bridgette walks off to the dock of shame.

Confessional: Chet

"WOOHOO! NO ONE MESSES WITH CHET!"

"If I didn't have that deal with Scarlett, I'd be way more worried."

The Amethyst Team exits and the Amber Team enters

"Welcome Amber Team to your third elimination ceremony! Let's see who will get the short end of the stick tonight."

"Bowie, you are a big threat." Sky shrugs.

"It's going down and I'm yelling timber, bye!" Bowie chuckles while voting Sky.

"You wanted me out last time, this is just returning the favor." Noah votes Sky.

Mary writes a name down.

Sierra giggles while opening the voting urn.

Staci smiles while voting.

Izzy slams the urn shut.

"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… Sky."

Sky nods, knowing this vote was coming.

"2nd vote… Sky."

Sky gives Noah a slightly annoyed look, though the bookworm does not acknowledge it.

"3rd vote… Bowie."

Bowie bites his lip.

"4th vote… Bowie."

Bowie doesn't look shocked.

"5th vote… Bowie."

Bowie's eye twitches a little, but he still doesn't seem surprised.

"6th vote… Sky. 3 votes Bowie, 3 votes Sky, 1 vote left…"

Sky looks worried. Mary has a fake confused face while Bowie gains confidence with each passing second.

"57th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate…"

"Sky. That's 4, you're out."

Sky looks surprised. Izzy frowns while Mary gives a bewildered look, turning to Sky with wide eyes. "Aw man… I came back to this show and only got 44th?" Sky looks devastated at the elimination.

"I had to win this little runner up war, sorry girl." Bowie shrugs.

"I'm so sorry Sky…" Mary mutters.

"It's fine, you didn't know. Can you walk me out?" Sky requests. Mary nods.

We cut to Mary and Sky alone. "They must have realized that we and Izzy were a powerful trio." Mary puts her head into her hand out of faux annoyance. "It should've been Bowie, I'm sorry this happened."

"Like I said, you didn't know." Sky assures. "Thanks for sticking by my side and not getting annoyed with me after how I acted early on, it was nice to meet you."

"Likewise." Mary smiles.

"Before I go, I asked you to walk me out so I could give you this." Sky pulls out the mystery advantage. "If you're eliminated, give this to Jo… but you'll probably need all the leverage you can get right now. Maybe use this as bait and pretend it's an idol to throw them off? Whatever you do, try to out strategize them."

Sky hands the advantage to Mary, who pockets it in return. She takes a deep breath. "Actually, I need to tell you something."

Something feels off with Sky. "Uh… what?" she asks nervously.

"I respect you enough to not let you go to the Loser's Lounge with false perceptions." Mary says, only causing Sky's worries to grow. "I was in on your elimination, I just pretended not to be so I could take your mystery advantage for myself."

Sky's jaw drops. "I- excuse me?"

"Nothing personal, it's just-"

"What do you mean nothing personal? You just used your dead sister's grave to make me feel safe right before the elimination ceremony, do you realize how fucked up that is?" Sky asks with her voice getting more and more angry with each word. "Did those conversations about our sisters mean nothing? Do you even care about her?"

Mary looks taken aback by the strong reaction, not giving a response for a few moments. "Well, it's not that I don't care about her, I just…"

"Were you even being honest about that?" Sky correctly accesses. Mary's lack of response gives away the answer, causing Sky to get more angry and begin tearing up. "How could you lie about something so personal to me?! Just to use me?! I mourn my sister every day and you used her to manipulate me? You're a piece of shit, Mary!"

"Sky, calm down." Mary says firmly. "It wasn't anything personal, I don't hate your dead sister and I'm sorry for your loss, but it was strategic. I still respect you as a person and a friend-"

"We are NOT friends, and we never will be after this! Friends don't make up lies about dead relatives to manipulate each other!" Sky seethes.

Mary just sighs. "Whatever. When you watch the episodes, maybe you'll get my perspective that this wasn't malicious, just a game move."

"Just fuck off and leave, you already have my advantage. No game move is worth lying like that." Sky glares. Mary obliges and walks away with an uneasy look.

Confessional: Mary

"I am so confused, why was she that angry? I wasn't lying. I liked Sky as a person and I respect her story with her sister, but I needed game leverage. It's just a game and she took it way too personally. I wish she left with class like Gwen did instead of yelling at me for trying to win." Mary says, showing yet again how unaware she is of the emotional side to this game.

Conf end

Confessional: Bowie

"Mary told me that she was voting for me to make it seem like we aren't working together. That's smart, the others won't suspect a thing."

Conf end

We see the Amber Team exit and the Emerald Team enter

"Well, we have had a lot of chaos tonight, and this will be the last elimination for the day. Time to get voting-"

"Nope." Sammy coldly interrupts, causing all heads to turn to the twin.

"What?" Chris questions. "Are you quitting?"

"No, I just have to call something out in front of everyone." Sammy says. Shawn looks worried as he knows what this likely will be. "Harold, you are at risk tonight."

Harold, Tammy, and Leshawna look surprised as Shawn facepalms. Nichelle gives him a worried look.

"Why am I at risk? I thought we all agreed to vote for Duncan!" Harold exclaims.

"That's nice to hear." Duncan glares.

"Can you blame us?" Leshawna questions.

"Sammy, what are you doing?" Nichelle asks with a pointed glare.

"Nichelle, Axel, Junior, Duncan, and maybe Shawn will be voting for you." Sammy informs Harold, causing Harold to gasp.

"Really guys?" Harold glares. Junior sinks into his seat while Axel rolls her eyes. Nichelle looks annoyed.

"I'm sorry for causing all this chaos at the last second, but I have to do something about this." Sammy says. "I want Duncan gone, and I'm begging you Shawn, please vote him out."

"Shawn, just vote for Harold!" Nichelle pleads.

"GOSH, that's rude."

"Harold, no one cares." Junior quietly comments. Luckily for him, Harold is blissfully unaware of the shade.

"As a friend, can you please see my perspective on why I want him out so badly?" Sammy looks towards Shawn.

"Is this still about dating Amy? I get you're upset, and you have the right to be, but I can't make a time machine and change the past with her. Holding it against me forever won't do anything." Duncan says. "I tried to apologize, even."

"Where was this apology with Harold?" Leshawna points to her friend. "You bullied him for years and never apologized, that's why we're targeting you."

"I- whatever. Sammy, I-" Duncan tries to say before Nichelle interrupts.

"Also, guilt tripping your friend to vote with you isn't a good look." Nichelle glares at Sammy.

"I'm not trying to guilt trip him!" Sammy defends herself. "I'm just saying that-"

"Your wording is sus, girl. 'As a friend, see my perspective and do what I want.' You may be saying that you want Duncan out for personal reasons, but you and I both know the truth. You're scared of losing control. You've formed bonds with Leshawna and Tammy, and you KNOW that Harold is someone that could be your number." Nichelle rants. "Now that the people you haven't been trying to work with see the writing on the wall, you want us all to throw away our games."

"I-" Sammy looks stunned. "That is not my intention here, I'm being genuine!"

"But you expect all of us to just hand you guys control of the team to satisfy your vendetta, then make us out to be the bad guys for not doing it." Nichelle glares. "How would it benefit Shawn's game to vote out Duncan?"

"That's not the point-"

"Answer the question." Nichelle cuts off as the atmosphere gets more intense, clearly the actress is afraid of losing control.

"Well, I never thought about it that way..."

"Because you're only thinking about yourself." Nichelle says.

"Alright girl, calm down." Leshawna steps in. "You're becoming a bit much."

"Nichelle, I can see why you think that, but I promise I wasn't trying to guilt trip anyone, I'm serious about what I said to Duncan. He only broke up with Amy because he was personally affected, and I-" Sammy gets cut off yet again, poor girl can barely get sentences in.

"That's not true. Do you know what the last straw to our relationship was?" Duncan asks.

"What?"

"She and Blaineley were planning on throwing boiling water on you during the cooking challenge to get you evacuated from the game. After I heard that, I broke up with her because that crossed the line. I wasn't just mindlessly okay with you getting hurt, I am not a complete monster." Duncan states.

Sammy takes a deep breath. "Did that really happen?"

"It did." Axel states. "Heather was actually the one who found out, she told me about it."

Confessional: Axel

"I decided to leave out that Duncan then proceeded to work with Blaineley later on so he could blindside Heather, that would not help this fight. I'm on Sammy's side here, but I need Duncan in the game for now…"

Conf end

"You are still allowed to be mad at me and you don't have to accept… but I'm sorry about everything." Duncan gives a sincere apology. Sammy just taps her knee to try and calm her nerves.

"Did she really try to throw boiling water on me?" Sammy questions.

"Yup." Duncan responds.

"Doesn't shock me…" Sammy frowns.

There is a moment of silence.

"So, are we ready to vote?" Chris questions.

"Nope." Harold says, now finding it in his best interest to say some words himself to try and save himself. "Axel, you should not trust Duncan. Weren't you mad at him for blindsiding you before?"

"I was." Axel nods.

"Why work with him?" Harold asks.

"I'll last longer, I'm not friends with any of you." She looks towards Sammy, Tammy, Harold, and Leshawna. "I don't really like Duncan or anything, this is purely for my own longevity. I'm sorry, but you guys won't change my mind, I have to play the game."

Nichelle is whispering to Shawn as Harold tries to convince Axel to change her mind. "I'm sorry if I came off aggressive towards your friend, I'm scared." she admits.

Shawn just looks stressed. "I don't know what to do, I'm going to make one of you upset either way." Shawn frowns.

"You can make your own choice, but remember all that we've been through together. If we don't vote together tonight, I may be next." Nichelle says, using the same tactics she was annoyed at Sammy for using just moments earlier.

"I know…" Shawn takes a deep breath. Nichelle pulls away to whisper to Junior, which gives Sammy an opportunity to lean in.

"I didn't mean to cause all this drama. I don't know how I should react to Duncan's apology right now, but I still want him out. After all that's happened, can you please agree to it?" Sammy asks. Shawn's stress increases, and it won't go down anytime soon after what is uttered out of Tammy's mouth.

"I am playing my idol tonight." Tammy injects herself into the drama. All eyes turn to her as she pulls out the fake idol that MK made, and that Ella gave to her. "Sorry Shawn, but with everything that has been revealed, I have no idea what you're going to do. I need to ensure someone's safety."

Nichelle considers revealing her idols as a counter, but someone has beaten her to it. "You think you're the only one with an idol, Tammy?" Junior bluffs with a forced confident laugh. This causes EVEN MORE drama, as now everyone on the team has gotten notably involved. All the whispers and side conversations come to a head.

"We need to talk." Leshawna suddenly announces, pulling Tammy, Harold, and Sammy together as she gathers the squad, and they go to a secluded area of the campfire ceremony themselves.

"Do what they're doing." Axel says. Herself, Duncan, Junior, and Nichelle go off to talk too. "Shawn, come here."

Shawn is the only to remain seated throughout this whole sequence as both groups are now having conversations with each other about what they want to do. We cut to the Harold, Tammy, Leshawna, and Sammy group first. "We need to switch our votes." Leshawna says.

"Really?" Sammy asks.

"They are going to play the idol on Duncan, we have no choice." Leshawna states. Sammy sighs, knowing she has no other option.

"Fine."

"Who should we swap our votes to?" Harold questions.

"And who will you play the idol on?" Leshawna asks.

Tammy taps on the idol in thought as the camera cuts to Nichelle, Junior, Duncan, and Axel. "Do you actually have an idol?" Axel questions Junior.

"No, but I didn't want Tammy to be too confident after her reveal… I didn't expect this to happen!" Junior gestures to the chaotic scene.

"Well, we have to switch our votes off of Harold, but to who?" Duncan questions.

The conversations continue when suddenly both Sammy and Nichelle walk over to Shawn at the same time. They give each other annoyed glares. "You go first." Nichelle offers.

"Thanks." Sammy deadpans as she whispers the vote to Shawn. Nichelle follows, but Shawn registered none of this as the stress may have broken his brain. Once both sides have agreed on a target, everyone makes their way back to their seat and sits down.

Chris begins laughing. "I- wow. That may have been the craziest elimination ceremony of this season so far! Is there more chaos to come? Are you all ready to vote?"

"Yup." Junior gives a thumbs up.

"Please." Duncan begs.

"I can't take more of this." Leshawna shakes her head in exhaustion.

"Fair enough. If everyone is ready, then get voting!"

Voting

Junior gulps while writing a name.

Duncan gives an awkward smile before voting.

Leshawna sighs while putting her vote into the urn.

Harold angrily writes down a name.

Tammy hesitates after opening the pen cap.

Nichelle looks at her two idols, unsure if she should use either of them tonight.

Axel crosses her arms after putting her vote into the urn.

Sammy takes a deep breath while writing.

Shawn slowly writes a name. He closes the pen before gulping and putting his vote into the urn.

Voting Over

"If anyone has found a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so…"

All eyes are on Tammy and Junior. Tammy stands up. "Yeah… yeah, I'll go ahead." Tammy looks around before walking up to Chris while tapping the immunity idol. She turns towards her team. "I am going to play this on… hm…"

Everyone looks in anticipation.

"Sammy." Tammy says before confidently handing the idol to Chris.

"The rules state that if a hidden immunity idol is played, any votes cast against that player will not count." Chris looks at what was handed to him. "This is NOT a hidden immunity idol, so any votes cast against Sammy will still count."

Everyone looks either surprised or amused. "Wait, what? How is that real? Check again!" Tammy says.

"Sorry Tammy, but I know what each idol looks like. It does not look like that." Chris says.

Nichelle stresses on if now is the time to use either of her idols, or if she trusts Shawn to vote on her side.

She decides not to.

"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… Nichelle."

Nichelle feels some regret now.

"2nd vote… Leshawna."

Leshawna frowns.

"3rd vote… Duncan. 1 vote Nichelle, 1 vote Leshawna, 1 vote Duncan."

Duncan gulps, as he thought he avoided getting votes once the whispering drama started.

"4th vote… Leshawna."

Leshawna looks worried.

"5th vote… Nichelle. 2 votes Nichelle, 2 votes Leshawna, 1 vote Duncan."

Nichelle gives a terrified glance to Shawn.

"6th vote… Leshawna."

Harold and Leshawna exchange a tense look.

"7th vote… Nichelle. 3 votes Nichelle, 3 votes Leshawna, 1 vote Duncan, 2 votes left…"

Nichelle takes a deep breath. Junior laughs a little in a shock response to tonight's drama.

"8th vote… Nichelle. 4 votes Nichelle, 3 votes Leshawna, 1 vote Duncan, 1 vote left…"

Nichelle gasps. "He broke the pattern!"

"Last vote… Leshawna. That's 4 votes Nichelle, 4 votes Leshawna, 1 vote Duncan. No votes left. Alright, there cannot be a tie. Everyone except for Nichelle and Leshawna will revote. Get to it!"

We get a quick cut of everyone revoting before we cut back to the campfire

"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… Nichelle."

"2nd vote… Leshawna."

"3rd vote… Nichelle."

"4th vote… Leshawna. 2 votes Nichelle, 2 votes Leshawna."

5th vote… Leshawna."

Leshawna grimaces.

"6th vote… Nichelle. 3 votes Leshawna, 3 votes Nichelle, 1 vote left…"

Everyone looks worried.

"58th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate…"

"Leshawna. That's 4, you're out."

You could hear a pin drop for a good fifteen seconds after the elimination reveal, no one had her as a target before the last few minutes before voting. Shawn speaks up. "I'm sorry Leshawna. I voted for Duncan on the first vote, but I couldn't vote for Nichelle on the revote."

"I thought you mentioned that we were voting for Nichelle." Harold looks at Sammy.

"I did."

"He clearly wasn't going to do it, what were you thinking?" Axel asks.

"I thought the idol would save us, turns out it wasn't even real." Tammy facepalms.

Leshawna looks stunned as she slowly stands up. "I'll just say in my MANY years of doing reality tv, I don't think I have ever been eliminated in such a chaotic way like this… Tammy, Sammy, Harold, good luck to you all, especially you, Harold."

"I'll try my best to win for you!" Harold begins sobbing. Duncan rolls his eyes at this.

"Leshawna, it's time for you to go." Chris gestures for her to leave, and she does.

"No!" Bridgette gasps as she sees Leshawna walk up to the boat. Dawn is comforting Sky, who is crying over Mary's betrayal.

"You won't believe what just happened, I'm still processing it." Leshawna says as the boat takes this eliminated squad away from the island.

Confessional: Duncan

"That was… a lot. The fact that I'm still here is a miracle."

Conf end

Confessional: Nichelle

"I nearly got a heart attack, I almost went home with two idols in my pocket!" Nichelle says before rubbing the side of her arm. "I overplayed tonight, I was getting really hot because I was desperate not to lose control… I may have to do some damage control."

Confessional: Sammy

"Why do I even bother trying at this point? Every damn thing I do fails!"

"Last time I wanted to avenge Leshawna, I failed. I need to do it properly this time."

Confessional: Tammy

"I'm so confused! That idol being fake has made me rethink everything! Did Ella actually care about me, was her speech about my appearance just a lie to make me look stupid? She gave me a fake idol, that could've ruined my game in different circumstances! Was she just playing me and got eliminated before she could reveal her true colors? I'm so confused!"

"We chose to vote Leshawna because we just made a split-second decision basically. We needed a non-Harold target, and we decided on the non-obvious route."

"I feel like I let everyone down today… being in the middle of your two friends who have conflicting interests sucks."

We see Chris with a cigarette. "I needed this after those eliminations! Four more campers are gone, and the game will only ramp up in intensity from here. Who will go home on the next episode of Total Drama Ultimate?"

That's a wrap for episode 26! Probably one of the darker episodes of the season with a ton of fighting, betrayals, and drama, but this was fun to write.

Dawn- She finally overstepped her boundaries and paid the price! Dawn, like Ezekiel, was someone I struggled with at the start, but she grew into a fun character. I'm glad you all noticed that I was not making her some perfect being, as that's a trap a lot of stories fall into. Her elimination is sad, but we'll see if her team listens to her final words

Bridgette- She is probably the person who got screwed over the hardest in phase 2. She had this whole strategical arc ready to go, but then phase 2 hit and she just fell into the background before her probably obvious tiebreaker loss to Chet. I liked her, but she didn't add as much as the others.

Sky- I've told a few people this, but I regret how I handled her. I was too insecure about story arcs at the start. She was initially supposed to get a long arc about overcoming her past and realizing she needs to let go, but I was afraid that people weren't going to let the story play out, so she just became normal after Dave left. That completely killed her chances, as she was planned to go a lot further. Her new role was just someone who was going to get betrayed, which she filled well. She was done pretty dirty with Mary's dead sister lie, followed by being conned out of her advantage. Sadly, that's just the way the game is sometimes. One of my biggest writing regrets, but I think she had a memorable exit.

Leshawna- In the most chaotic elimination so far, we lose Leshawna! I love Leshawna, but I struggled to give her anything of substance. I hope her elimination made up for it, as the arguing on Emerald which spiraled into her elimination was intense.
