Episode 9: Can't Help Falling in Louvre
"Last time, on Total Drama! The contestants experienced every pitfall Peru could put forward!"
"They visited some ancient landmarks, hung out with the locals, and made friends with the native wildlife!"
"The Warriors lost, and Eva was the one to be let go!"
"Twelve contestants! One million dollars! Loads more exotic locales to destroy! Right here, on Total! Drama! World Tour!" As the shot pulled back in time with the usual blaring music, a single red balloon was shown floating up below the plane.
(Theme Song)
The episode opened in the cargo hold where, surprisingly, Scott and Sky were meeting up.
"What is it that you brought me here for, Scott?" Sky asked.
"To tell you that me and you are both on the outs with our team and we have to stick together," Scott told her.
"You mean an alliance?" Sky said.
"Duh," Scott rolled his eyes. "I'm not the most popular guy around, and you badmouthed our strongest player. Anne Maria, Caleb, and Sam are probably united together in order to take one of us out."
"What you're saying does make sense," Sky mused, "but you'll have to give me time to think about it. Not because I don't like you, but because we've been doing great so far and never had to lose a member aside from Izzy."
"Take all the time you need," Scott said, "but if you find yourself in danger, you know where to find me," he finished with a flashing wink.
The camera cut to first class, where the rest of Team Super were enjoying themselves.
"I'm really glad we won the challenge," Caleb said with a smile that quickly turned into a frown before he added, "but I still can't forget about what Sky said about me."
"Trust me, I understand," Sam spoke up. "I wouldn't like it if somebody talked badly about me without getting to know me first, but you should talk things out with Sky at some point."
"She probably doesn't want to talk to me if she doesn't like me," Caleb responded. "And I'm not going to flirt with her just to do it."
"Yeah, that'll just prove her point," Anne Maria said in understanding. "Speaking of which, where is she and Scott?"
"They said they had to use the restroom, but they sure are taking a long time," Sam mentioned.
The footage cut to the economy class seating area where the losing teams were seated – Team Warrior along the left wall; Team Explosive along the right.
"Even though Eva acted like a total nightmare these past few days, I won't lie when I say that I miss having her here," Jasmine commented.
"I agree, even if we both didn't get along personally," Topher said. "She probably acted like this because she's still hung up on winning Island."
"I just wished she'd ease up a bit," Gwen said. "But now that we're a team of three, we have to make sure that we don't lose any more members with the other teams having one or two more than us."
"Absolutely," Topher nodded, "and I can stay on the plane to make sure that Caleb doesn't try to woo Anne Maria."
"Where did you get that idea from?" Gwen asked in confusion.
"They've been acting a little too cozy, and Caleb's the hottest guy on the plane," Topher said with seriousness in his last words. "If I'm not around, then I can kiss my relationship goodbye."
"Sounds like someone's messing with your head," Jasmine called her teammate out, "but I don't know who would do that along with the pole incident just yet."
The camera cut over to Team Explosive relaxing.
"This is a drag," Chase grumbled. "We not only lose the last challenge, but I couldn't find any treasure that I could cash in."
"No worries, Chase!" Brick told him. "We're sure to bounce back in the upcoming challenge."
"We have had our fair share of winning, and we only had to attend an elimination ceremony once," Chase said, "so I share your positivity, Brick."
"If you'll excuse me, I have to go use the restroom," Heather stood up and headed out. "I'll be back in a flash."
Rodney watched Heather go and turned his attention to the two boys. "I've got great news to share with you."
"What could it be, Rodney?" Brick wondered.
"For the first time in forever, a girl found me attractive," Rodney said as he smiled wildly, "and that girl happens to be Heather."
Chase let out a gasp of shock. "Dude, what?!"
"Are you sure about this fact?" Brick asked the country boy.
"One hunded percent!" Rodney confirmed. "She told me that she couldn't live seeing me die, and she outright said that I was cute. I knew she was eye-catching, but I never believed we had a bond."
"I had no idea that Heather kept her feelings hidden, but I do wish the best for you two," Brick said genuinely.
"Heather is a hot girl herself, and you did save her from falling off the plane that time," Chase brought up. "If you want advice on how to talk to her, you can come to me."
"Maybe I will and maybe I won't, but I certainly will," Rodney grinned and shared a high-five with Chase.
Confessional: Heather
"There's no way that I actually like that farm boy," Heather admitted. "He's just someone I can use to increase my chances in the game. But I'll have to play nice with him so that I won't lose him, and get his vote to take out either Chase or Brick."
Confessional: Brick
"I find it wonderful that Rodney found someone who likes him as much as he likes her," Brick confessed. "Jasmine didn't reciprocate his feelings back on the Island, so this is a nice change of pace. As long as they don't get distracted during the challenges, I'll support the two together."
Confessionals End
The camera cut to a close-up of one of the plane's loudspeakers as it screeched into use. "This is your captain speaking, so listen and listen good!" Chef's gruff voice came over. "We're coming in for a landing, so expect some turbulence!"
"I wonder where we are now?" Jasmine asked as the shot panned away from the loudspeaker, showing the rest of economy class. The members of Team Explosive looked out whatever window was nearest, and Rodney gasped.
"Oh, I know exactly where we are!" he said. The camera cut outside the plane, then rapidly rotated downwards to get a shot of a glittering, almost circular city bisected by a river arcing through the southern portion of it. "We're in Paris!"
A majestic tune began to play, even over the telltale whistling of the plane descending. Several shots from the ground of the jet circling around the sky were shown, including in them the Arc de Triomphe, a good stretch of the Seine, and finally the Champ de Mars leading up to the Eiffel Tower. The background music took a more dangerous turn as the jumbo jet finally made landfall in the park itself, gouging the grass and earth and knocking numerous trees out of the way.
The scene cut to the shaking and rattling cockpit, where Chris was standing in the doorway. "What's with the landing?!" he asked Chef with a mix of panic and anger.
"You told me to land at the Eiffel Tower, so I did!" Chef shot back.
The footage skipped ahead to the contestants and host standing at the entrance to the museum. The teens were separated into their teams, with Team Warrior on the left, Super in the middle, and Explosive on the right. "I didn't get to prep my introduction," Chris told them while holding a stack of cue cards, "what with the unplanned water landing and all. I'm just gonna give the highlights."
"France," he muttered as he tossed some cards away, "City of Love, art gallery, filler, lots of artwork, priceless, priceless, artwork." He then tossed the rest of them away and said, "I'm sure you get the idea."
"The City of Love!" Rodney smiled. "The most romantic place in the world!" He looked back at Heather, who seemed to not even notice the gesture. "Right Heather?"
Heather quickly noticed his smile and forced one back. "Um, right."
"Too bad for you two lovebirds," Chris interrupted with a smile, "we won't have time for romance. The first challenge is about to start. Everyone, inside the Loavr!"
"It's The Louvre," Sky corrected.
"Whatever," Chris said in annoyance. "Go already!"
The footage skipped forward to a close-up of the wheel of a hand truck currently loaded with a crate of some sort. The shot zoomed out to reveal it was about twice the size of Chef, who was wheeling it through one of the Louvre's halls. "Challenge time, kids!" Chris called from off-screen just as the pilot dropped the heavy crate down and wiped the sweat from his brow.
The camera quick-panned to the host and contestants, gathered in another stretch of hallway. "Each team gets their very own famous sculpture," he said as the shot panned across the teams, landing on Team Explosive on the left. "Team Explosive, yours is Rodin's 'The Thinker'," he told the group of four, handing Brick a photograph of the seated statue.
"Team Super," the shot cut to the team, "you guys get the 'Venus de Milo'!" He handed the photograph to Scott, who smiled in appreciation.
"Prettiest hunk of rock I've ever seen," he said with a smile.
"Calm down lover boy," Chris told him as he took out the third photograph. "Team Warrior! You guys get the 'Statue of David'!" He handed the photograph to Gwen.
"Here's how it works," Chris continued. "It's up to you guys to find your statue hidden somewhere in The... Loa-ve-ra..re.." he narrowed his eyes as he struggled to pronounce the museum's name.
"This should be a breeze, right?" Chase asked his teammates. "Aren't the statues pretty big? And we can just follow a museum map if they're not."
"About that," Chris spoke up with a smile as Chef appeared behind him. "Chef has broken the statues into pieces, and hidden them! First team to find their pieces, race to the Pyramid Court, and reassemble them wins!"
"But 'The Thinker' isn't located in the Louvre," Caleb spoke up in confusion, "and the 'Statue of David' isn't even in France!"
"Well we're not using the actual statues," Chris told him with a smile. "Those are priceless! Chef made some fake ones," he said matter-of-factly, "right?"
The shot cut to Chef's face as he slowly looked from the host to the camera, rapidly filling with dread. The camera cut back out to show the whole group as Chef abruptly ran off without a word.
"I almost forgot the twist-twist," Chris said after watching Chef go. He whipped out a remote control, gave it a sly look and said "Here's your motivation!" He pressed the button, and the camera cut to the giant crate as it beeped and fell apart.
Out of the small cloud of dust that was stirred up, a sasquatch roaring; followed by a grizzly bear growling and revving a chainsaw; and lastly a group of tiny monkeys.
"Wait, aren't those the monkeys that attacked us in the Amazon?" Sam asked nervously. The shot cut to the monkeys' close-up as they roared ferociously.
"They are!" Sky yelled.
"I'd start running," Chris told them all.
The shot cut a little ways down the hall as Team Super ran screaming first, being pursued by the sasquatch. Team Warrior was next, being chased by the bear. Team Explosive was last, the monkey hoard howling and screeching as it chased them along.
The focus moved back to Team Super as Anne Maria and Scott were shown getting chased from behind by the sasquatch. "Somebody do something!" Anne Maria screamed. The camera cut ahead to Caleb as he looked back and frowned, the shot zooming out as he stopped running, took a deep breath, and let his teammates pass.
"Hey there yeti," Caleb said calmly, causing both the sasquatch and his teammates to skid to a halt. "I know you're feeling angry right now, but I also know that you have a heart inside you," he continued, putting a hand on the charmed ape-man's arm. "And it'd be really cool if you didn't eat any of us!"
The sasquatch looked uncertain. "You're in Paris! You could be looking at all the artwork of the Louvre rather than wasting your energy chasing us." The sasquatch looked around, then grinned. It nodded at Caleb, and he winked as it walked away.
"That was quite impressive, Caleb!" Scott told him, the rest of Team Super standing behind him.
"I get along pretty great with animals, even the wild ones," Caleb replied. "Now we can move on without any distractions."
Confessional: Anne Maria
"For those of you that are wondering why I didn't try to go head on with a sasquatch, I'd like to remind you that I know my own strengths and weaknesses, and I'd have to be stupid to fight the sasquatch without thinking it through," Anne Maria mentioned.
Confessional Ends
"Found one!" Gwen said as the footage skipped forward to her holding up what looked like her team's statue's body. They were in a hall with a lot of modern-looking sculptures.
"Gnarly," Jasmine said with a nervous look behind the group. "And no sign of danger, either. But I don't think we can count on that forever."
"Do you believe the bear will locate us again?" Topher asked.
"It's not an unreasonable assumption," Jasmine spoke up as she looked around. "I suggest splitting up," she said. "We'll cover more ground looking for statue pieces, and if one of us runs into danger, the other will still be able to complete the challenge."
"Do you want me and Topher to go together while you go alone?" Gwen asked.
"Correct. I am the strongest, but you two combined are just as strong as me," Jasmine reasoned. "Plus, you never know when one of Chris' 'twists' will appear."
"Do you mean a bear wielding a chainsaw?" Topher asked with a wide-eyed look. "Because there it is!" He pointed off to the left of the screen, the girls turning their heads and gasping.
The shot cut to the chainsaw-wielding bear as it roared at them.
"RUN!" Gwen shouted quickly as she grabbed Topher and ran away. The bear roared again and swiped its chainsaw at Jasmine, but she scattered with a scream, the bear promptly giving chase.
The scene flashed to Team Explosive walking through another hall of the art gallery; Rodney, Brick, and Heather were already carrying a couple of pieces of their statue each, though Chase was trailing a few paces behind them.
"I've just spotted another piece!" Brick said with a grin, the camera quick-panning ahead to show what looked like a hunk of 'The Thinker' sitting on top of a pillar.
"It's your turn to grab a piece, Chase," Heather told him with a frown.
"I can do it. I was just too busy thinking about my plans to come back to Paris with Millie as a visit and romantical date," Chase said. He hopped onto the pillar and started shimmying up it, the camera lingering on his teammates as they watched. A few seconds later, he hopped down with the statue hunk in his hand. "Got it!" he said proudly.
"Now we can go ahead," Brick ordered. "Statues are not meant to be unbuilt!"
Chase nodded and followed his team, only to stop walking when he saw a small stone-lined doorway set between two pillars. There was an arc of hieroglyphs above it and a sarcophagus leaning against the wall beyond it.
"I'll go see if I can look for more pieces there," the daredevil decided to separate from his team and go inside the exhibit.
The scene flashed to Scott and Sky looking at Grant Wood's 'American Gothic'. "This painting used to frighten me as a little kid," Sky told her teammate.
"So old paintings are one of the things you fear along with thunderstorms?" Scott replied.
Sky frowned at the mention of this. "I said paintings used to freak me out, and I'm not really afraid of thunderstorms to be honest."
"Then what is your biggest fear?" Scott asked with interest.
"Oh no," Sky shook her head. "You're not getting that one out of me."
"Darn," Scott grunted playfully.
The camera quick-panned over to the rest of their team walking down the hall ahead of them. All three were carrying multiple pieces of the statue.
"Okay, we collected almost all of our pieces while those two have done nothing," Anne Maria said with a glance backward, standing to the right of Sam and Caleb. "Did they forget that they're in a challenge?"
"They haven't caused us to lose yet," Caleb said.
"Of course not," Anne Maria replied. "But they should stop getting invested by a painting and help us out."
"The paintings are special, but you have a fair point!" Caleb agreed.
"Scott, Sky, get your butts over here and help find the pieces!!" Anne Maria shouted in their direction.
Sky and Scott were alerted by the shout and turned their attention away from the painting. "Sorry! We just got distracted!" the former apologized and she and Scott ditched the painting.
The focus switched over to Jasmine, who was creeping through one of the halls with a couple of the statue parts in her arms. "An Ancient Egypt exhibit," she spotted as the shot cut to the exhibit that Chase had entered earlier. "Maybe that's where one of the statue pieces is?" she told herself as she started to walk forward.
As she was walking, the camera panned right to show the bear following her. The bear revved its chainsaw, its noises catching Jasmine's attention.
"I better run!" Jasmine gasped, immediately forgetting the Ancient Egypt exhibit and running away.
The scene flashed forward to Jasmine out into the next hallway where she stopped and saw no sign of the bear. "Good thing I outran that honey fanatic!" she panted.
The camera mimicked her gaze as it panned across the hall, devoid of everything except art...and the head of the 'Statue of David'. The girl donned a grin.
A short drumroll heralded a scene change to a close-up of the head of the 'Venus di Milo'; the shot zoomed outward to show that it was guarded by several lasers, and that the members of Team Super were looking at it with statue pieces in each of their arms.
"How do we get our last piece from behind these security lasers?" Sam asked.
"I'm not sure any of us can do it," Anne Maria said. "You're too chubby, Caleb's too muscle toned, Scott isn't balanced enough, and I can't go through lasers in these shoes."
"Sky, you're the only one capable enough of getting through these lasers," Scott told the gymnast. "You're super acrobatic enough."
"You're right. I can do this," Sky grinned.
"Let's get this done!" Caleb said. "I think the yeti will be back for another round."
"Okay, I just have to move around," Sky stuck a finger towards one of the lasers and hollered as she touched the laser and got zapped.
Chris was heard laughing, and the scene cut to him and Chef watching Team Super on what looked like a monitor in a security guard's station. "Looks like things have taken a shocking turn for our contestants!" he told the camera. "Electrifying, wouldn't you say?" he asked Chef, who immediately looked around awkwardly.
"Uhhh...," Chef murmured.
"Too cheesy?" Chris asked.
"Maybe...," Chef responded, and the two men turned to face the camera.
"We'll be right back," Chris said with a smile.
(Commercial Break)
"The City of Love, and I'm not spending it with Anne Maria," Topher told Gwen while they carried a small number of statue pieces. "Instead, he's with Caleb."
"Can't you just talk it out with your girlfriend?" Gwen wondered. "Jealousy doesn't fit you very well, Topher."
"And I have green eyes," Topher quipped and got serious. "But as much as I want to talk to Anne Maria, we're always not together and-"
He was cut off when a hand tapped on his shoulder, and the shot pulled back to reveal Chris. "Hi!" he greeted with a cheery wave at the two. "My name is Chris, and I'm the host of the show! Hey, did you know you're on it," he scowled, "right now? And are supposed to be doing a challenge?"
"Sorry," Topher told him, "Me and Gwen were just having a personal discussion."
"Aww," Chris smiled, "don't care!"
"It's not like you to care about what we think," Gwen added.
"Still not caring," Chris said, and the pair of dings sounded off with the appearance of the musical note icon. "You know what that means?" Chris asked the two. "It's time to sing!" He leaned forward and threatened "Or you're off my show!"
"What choice do we have?" Gwen asked rhetorically.
An R pop song began to play as Chris ducked away from the scene, leaving Gwen and Topher by themselves.
"I've been wishing this for a very, very long time!" Topher began the song.
"What is it?" Gwen asked in spoken word.
"Been wishing that my time with Anne Maria didn't have to decline!" Topher continued.
"I know the two of you are not on the same team!" Gwen added her voice.
"Yeah?" Topher raised an eyebrow.
"But I also know that she won't cheat on you, it's just in your dream!" Gwen sang and the two proceeded to move forward as the scene cut to Jasmine running with her pieces.
"It's pretty cheery to spend time in Paris!" Jasmine sung, pronouncing Paris as "Pa-REE" while she stopped to take a look back. "I got chased by a bear and I'm not with Brick, but I know my team will win victory. Oui oui!"
"We love Paris!" Chris sang in the background while the shot cut to Brick, Heather, and Rodney walking together.
"The most romantic place of all!" Rodney sang positively while looking at Heather.
"We love Paris!" Chef sang next, also in the background.
"Spending it with a guy so tall!" Heather sang with a fake equally touched look towards Rodney.
"We love Paris!" This time, both hosts sang.
"Hey, where did Chase go?" Brick asked as he looked behind him.
"We love Paris!"
"Will come back here after winning the dough!" Chase was still in the mummy exhibit, but he took a break to sing with a smile.
The camera cut to Team Super, Sky now holding their statue's head and trying to make her way back through the security lasers. The focus was put on Anne Maria.
"Not gonna lie, you're a pretty graceful gal!" Anne Maria sang as she watched and gestured for the athlete to move faster. "But go faster, faster, faster, we seriously need to roll!"
"I'm trying my best and I sure don't want to lose; But I am stuck in lasers and my body I don't want to abuse!" Sky sang as she moved through the lasers. A laser appeared and singed away a bit of her hair.
"We love Paris!" Chris sang in the background again as the focus was back on Brick, Heather, and Rodney.
"Don't want to leave this place!" Rodney sang.
"We love Paris!" Chef sang.
"But we really need Chase!" Heather sang with annoyance in her voice.
"We love Paris!"
"He probably has this under control!" Brick hoped.
"We love Paris!"
"Gotta find a piece and roll!" Chase sang as he looked around for a piece.
"We love Paris!"
"Yes, we, doooooooooooooooo!" Chris and Chef sang from inside the security room.
"Alright guys," Sam said as he dashed into a courtyard with an armful of statue pieces, "let's build ourselves a Venus!" He was followed by Scott, Anne Maria, Sky, and Caleb, all of them running excitedly.
The camera panned to the right, where Topher was leading the rest of Team Warrior to the same courtyard. "I guess this is the place," he said, turning his head back to his teammates. "Let's just put them down over there."
The shot cut to a close-up of the floor as both teams through their statues pieces into one big heap.
"Hey! You got some of your Venus in our David!" Jasmine angrily accused.
"No, you got your David in our Venus!" Scott countered. The two teams began to argue, and the camera panned to the left to show Team Explosive walking up with statue pieces in their arms.
"Glad we got here last," Brick said after they shared a bewildered look.
"But where did Chase go?" Rodney asked.
A flash took the scene to the museum exhibit. Chase had found the last piece under a mummified dog, and he left the exhibit.
"That's the only piece I could find," Chase said to himself. He saw a golf cart in front of him, and without thinking, he placed his statue piece in the back, got into the cart, started the vehicle, and drove off.
"Now to get to my team and finish that statue," he said to himself. Unknowingly, he drove over the sasquatch's foot, causing it to howl and go after the boy.
The scene cut back to the courtyard where Scott watched Sky lift a piece of their statue, which already had complete legs.
"Put the middle piece under the wide part," Scott directed. "Then rotate the thingy straight wise," he rotated his arms in hands in what was apparently a demonstration. "No no no. Under-over."
"Could you repeat that coherently?" Sky asked in confusion, eyes wide as she heaved what looked like a piece of torso onto what they already had.
The camera panned over to Team Warrior, who had completed a little bit less of their statue. "I'm telling you," Topher said to Gwen as he grabbed a small piece of marble and placed it firmly on top of the statue in a position close to him, "this piece goes here!"
"Are you sure?!" Gwen replied. "The fractures don't match at all! It's a piece of the other team's statue."
"It could have been chipped when we dropped it," Topher said dismissively, "The shape fits exactly what we need here."
Jasmine was shown frowning, and the camera panned out to show Brick walking up to her.
"Sooo, is everything okay?" Brick asked hesitantly.
"Hey Brick," Jasmine greeted. "Not only are we stumped trying to connect the pieces, but I can't get behind the eliminations as of recent."
"Do you believe that someone set them up?" Brick wondered. "Because MK quit, Izzy got eliminated for the weird commercial, Ripper was eliminated for failing to reach the finish line, Millie told us to vote her off, and we just lost Eva."
"So that means Izzy and Ripper are the only ones who could've been messed with," Jasmine said in realization and hugged her ex. "Thanks Brick!" she quickly pecked Brick's cheek. "We are never ever ever getting back together, but you're a pretty resourceful friend."
"Happy to help," Brick said and Jasmine let him go. "I should get back to my team now."
Confessional: Brick
"And people say that you can't be friends with your former flames," Brick chuckled.
Confessional Ends
The scene skipped forward to a close-up of the photo of the 'Statue of David' before the camera cut to Gwen looking at it, then sending confused looks off-screen along with Topher and Jasmine. The shot cut to the statue, revealing that not only was the head on backwards, but the torso wasn't aligned properly and the limbs had been completely jumbled around.
"I think we may have focused too much on speed," Topher suggested.
"You think?" Gwen deadpanned.
"Got it!" Sam declared as he put an arm on his team's statue. The camera immediately zoomed out to their statue, which had the lower torso correct...and that was about it. The upper torso wasn't oriented right at all, it had no head, and the arms were both completely different from each other and the rest of the statue.
"Wrong," Caleb sighed. "You have too many arms!" He handed the photo over to the skeptical gamer, and the camera showed it in close-up.
"Aww, seriously?" Sam groaned in disappointment.
"Well at least you guys have all your pieces," Heather spoke up, the camera quick-panning to where she and her teammates were trying to keep a mostly-complete-but-top-heavy statue balanced. "Chase has one of ours."
"That sasquatch's big feet doesn't slow him down!" Chase said while moving through the otherwise empty halls, the scene coming back to the chase. With the sasquatch behind him, he was looking rather pleased until a monkey in front of him lunged at his head.
"I can't see!" he yelped as his blinded state led him to drive over the bear's feet. The sasquatch ran into the bear and they landed on the ground, but they quickly teamed up and went after the daredevil.
"So we only have the head left," Rodney told his teammates as the scene cut back to them looking at a headless 'The Thinker'.
"Shouldn't Chase be back by now?" Brick wondered.
The screaming voice of Chase cried out. The camera panned over to the golf cart, revealing that the animals had somehow managed to get on board.
Brick yelped and got away from the statue, allowing Chase to plow into the statue. The pieces were shattered, and Chase, the cart, and the animals were caught in the wreckage.
"Our statue is ruined!" Heather yelled.
Rodney helped Chase out of the mess. "What just happened?" he asked.
"These creatures chased me and caused me to destroy the statue," Chase said while cleaning himself up.
"Finished!" Sky said in relief as the scene cut back to Team Super and their completed 'Venus di Milo'.
"And Team Super has it!" Chris announced as Caleb and Sam low-fived and Scott and Anne Maria smirked in approval.
"Following in a close second is Team Warrior," he added over a shot of 'The Thinker' as Topher slotted the head into the base.
"And this week's losers are," the host said as the camera cut to him, "Team Explosive."
The shot cut to the four groaning teens. "The vote could be tied," Heather said to Chris. "So you might as well just tell us the tiebreaker."
"Not necessarily," Brick protested. "For all we know, this was a reward challenge."
"Oh, it wasn't!" Chris interrupted with a laugh as he walked over to the losing team. "Meaning I'll be seeing your butts at elimination in a little while. And I bet it's gonna be a fun one!" He started laughing again as he walked past.
The scene flashed to the dining area, empty except for three members of Team Explosive sitting at a table together.
"Look," Heather said to Rodney and Brick, "I know I'm not close to you guys, but we have to vote out Chase. You saw how he destroyed our statue."
Brick frowned. "I am aware of that, but he did not do it on purpose. The animals tripped him up."
"Yeah, but nobody else caused us to lose, and Chase wasn't even with us for most of the challenge," Heather countered.
"I'm on Heather's side," Rodney said. "I like Chase, but I can't see any reason to vote for you two, and he can be happily reunited with Millie."
"I'm still not sure about this," Brick sighed.
"Just think about it please," Heather begged. "We can't afford any more mishaps."
"Alright then," Brick said, standing up in his seat. "I'm not telling you two who I'm going to vote for, but I will think wisely about this." He walked away then and there, leaving Heather and Rodney looking unsure.
Confessional: Brick
"So Chase told me that he was looking for pieces, which would explain his disappearance, and he said that the statue destruction was beyond his control," Brick said in the restroom. "I stand by his side, and me and him are planning to eliminate Heather. I know I said that I didn't want to separate her and Rodney, but we'll need Rodney's brawn more."
Confessional Ends
The scene flashed to the jumbo jet back in the air, flying through the night sky. The scene flashed to the elimination room where Team Explosive was already seated.
"Team Explosive, I gotta say I'm a little disappointed in you," Chris told the four as the camera cut to him leaning against his podium with a barf bag in each hand. "You'd think the team with the strongest members would've done better. But sadly, this just isn't the case." The four were shown hanging their heads in shame.
"I have peanut-filled barf bags for three of you," the host told them. "But one of you will take the Drop of Shame. Brick," the camera immediately cut to a close-up of the cadet as he perked up, "you are not that person."
Brick breathed a sigh of relief before catching the disgusting bag of peanuts with a grin.
"Rodney, same goes for you," Chris added as the shot panned to the right to show the country boy eagerly accepting his technically-edible trophy.
A deep note was struck as Heather and Chase stiffened up, then sent a brief but worried look at each other.
"And the person going home is..." Chris said with a devious smile, "...not decided yet!" the host announced suddenly. "The vote was a tie!"
"Wait, really?" Heather asked in disbelief, turning around and seeing Brick avert his gaze.
"I couldn't vote for Chase after his accident, and Rodney has more meat on his bones. Not to be sexist," Brick said.
"In other words," Chris continued in excitement, "we get to have a tiebreaker challenge!"
"Easy peasy," Chase said confidently. "Whatever it is, I got it in the bag!"
"In honor of the art-themed challenge your team just blew," Chris told them, "the two of you will have five minutes to paint a picture." The shot pulled back as Chef walked up and slammed two canvas-loaded easels down on the floor between the seats, the podium, and the door on the side of the plane. "Whoever paints the best picture as judged by moi gets to stay."
"No biggie," Heather said as she and her opponent walked over to their easels. "I'm great at art!"
"Oh, and to make things a little more interesting," Chris added with a sly look, "you two will be painting the person who didn't vote for you: Rodney for Heather, and Brick for Chase." He motioned for the two remaining members of the team to come over, and they did – albeit reluctantly.
"You have five minutes," the host said with his eyes on his watch, "starting...now!"
The camera flashed to show the full room, the two paintings hidden from view.
"Time's up!" Chris announced, and the two competitors promptly stopped painting. He stepped down from his stage and walked over between Heather on the left and Chase on the right, the two moving aside to give the host room. Brick and Rodney watched nervously from further out, and the camera cut in close to Chris' face as he considered the two paintings.
"Hmmm...," he murmured as he looked at Chase as the daredevil grinned nervously. The first painting was finally shown, depicting a stick figure rendition of a smirking Brick holding a cannon and wearing a camo war helmet and camo outfit.
"Hmmmm...," Chris repeated as he turned his attention to Heather's painting. The viewpoint changed as the camera moved to get a look, and it was revealed to be a somewhat rough portrait that was still completely recognizable as Rodney grinning confidently and holding roses on his right hand. Heather grinned confidently at the host, but faltered slightly when Chris gave her a narrow side-eyed look.
"Well then, it's obvious who the winner is," Chris said as he walked away from the two. Chase and Heather looked back at the host expectantly. "The final barf bag goes to," the host said as he picked up the final bag from his podium then turned around and smiled at the two, "Heather."
"Yes!" Heather cheered as she caught her peanuts.
"Really?!" Chase exclaimed in confusion. "My painting was cleaner than hers!"
"It was," Chris admitted. "But Heather's painting emphasized on the meaning of love given today's location, while yours emphasized on war, and that exists in a place like Greece or Rome."
"Aww man..." Chase slumped down.
"I'm sorry it had to end like this," Brick said, walking up to his now-former teammate. "I really appreciate the painting."
"Thanks, dude," Chase told him. "I'm gonna miss you and all my other friends on the plane."
"Chase," Rodney nervously spoke up from behind Brick, catching the attention of both boys. "I'm-"
"Don't worry about it," Chase told him amicably. "I know you had your reasons for voting me out, and I'm not gonna hold it against you. I did ruin our statue. Good luck with Heather."
"Thank you," Rodney smiled.
"We haven't talked much," Chase told Heather, "but I wish you luck with the game, too."
"I'll appreciate that," Heather said.
"Umm, hello?" Chris interrupted indignantly, forcefully inserting himself between Chase and Brick, then shoving a parachute pack into Chase's arms. "This is a half-hour show, so get jumping already!"
"Chill out, I'm going," Chase replied with a glare, slipping the pack on and walking towards the open door on the side of the plane. He then waved to his former teammates with a happy grin. "I'll catch you all later!"
With a whoop of excitement, he backflipped into the open air, his final shout of "SKYDIVING RULES!" heard by all four standing in the elimination chamber with their eyes locked on the door.
"That's one more teen off the plane," Chris said as the shot cut to him and Chef in the cockpit as the series' capstone theme began to play. "Will next week be this insane?" he asked his assistant who only looked at him. "Find out next time, on Total! Drama! Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!" The full moon was behind the plane as the camera zoomed out from the windshield, and a shooting star passed by overhead.

"My time on the show may be over," Chase said as he floated downwards through the night sky courtesy of his open parachute, "and I definitely did worse than the first two seasons, but that doesn't change the fact that I had fun this season going around the world!"
He sighed happily. "I can also go back to Millie, and she may or may not write a book about the weird things she encountered while traveling," he mused, "but I can bet that it's going to be bigger and more popular than her first book. Some pictures would be nice though."
"Will I continue to compete in other reality shows? Heck yeah!" he declared. "I want my publicity to be well-known so that when I finally start my channel, I can get high views and high money." He glanced downwards, and the shot cut outward, showing him drifting towards a garbage barge on the Seine. "The first thing I'll buy is a luxurious shower though," he commented as he slowly landed on a pile of garbage and got sucked inside it.

Author's Note: Yeah, I'm sure that even with Brick saying he'd side with Chase to vote off Heather, it was pretty obvious that Heather would still be going home due to the fact she's an important piece of drama right now. Hopefully you enjoyed this chapter.
