Alright, welcome back to another chapter. Definitely one of my favorite episodes of the og season, that's for sure. A lotta fun team dynamics at play at this point in the season and a pretty fun challenge right on top of it.
blee7442: Yeah, thought they might be scams. Really only addressed it hoping that the messages would stop and so far haven't gotten any since posting. Probably just a coincidence though. I assume I'll get more. As for the challenge, I was caught between adding a seventh number since that's what I was going to do originally and just adding a seperate chamber. I only decided to do the second option because it led to some funny moments here and there. And I feel like Damien was robbed of more screentime with Millie and Priya since it felt like they had a solid bond that went unfocused due to Damien wanting to quit.
Anyways, happy reading!

EPISODE 4: SKULL SANCTUARY
"Last time on Total Drama Island! Our teams ran an obstacle course to free teammates trapped in booths that were slowly filling with water. Haha, who's the sick puppy that comes up with this stuff?" He asks as he points to two giant, red, light up signs pointing down on him. "Got these made special just for that joke. That's the fun of being rich!"
"The Frogs held a strong lead and wanted to finish even stronger, so Emma chose Nichelle to go last. Big mistake. But Priya and Lauren, despite going last, ended up giving the Trout their well needed comeback and winning the challenge. After the Frogs lost, Nichelle came clean to her team about being an action hero only on TV. In real life? Not so great. Maybe Jerry would make for a helpful intern. Despite her open honesty and never giving up, it wasn't enough to save her, putting a wrap on Nichelle's time on the Island. But not all was on the straight and narrow as MK got 2 votes when everyone seemed together. Wanna know my advice? Get over it, you're still in the game. Wanna know who'll go home next? Patience, you'll know in 20 minutes, right here on Total Drama Island!"
TROUT CABIN DAY #7.
The morning after Nichelle's departure, people were still waking up from their cabins. Priya was doing stretches ready for her next exercise while Millie was rubbing her back in pain from her bed.
"Ugh, ah, every muscle in my body hurts right now" She whined, still not used to the living conditions a week in to the competition. "Heh, I didn't even know I had muscles."
"Ladies." They both heard a voice come from the outside of their cabin and turned to see Chase with his water bottle.
"Can we help you?" Millie asked in an annoyed tone. Still not the biggest fan of Chase.
"Just finished my morning jog and thought I'd check in. That challenge yesterday was quite the workout." He pointed out, clearly overhearing Millie's muscle complaints and invited himself in to the cabin. "But there's one special person who won us that victory."
"Well I'm flattered but-" Priya started before Chase cut her off while raising his bottle.
"To Nichelle for being brutally bad!" He cheered while taking a sip.
"No need to be mean!" Priya objected. "I know I feel sorry for her. Wait... is that mean?" She glanced at her friend sitting at the top bunk.
"Nope, you're good" Millie responded before turning to Chase. "Can't say I'm shocked she blew it but it's not Nichelle's fault she's bad. She's a hot celebrity so she's never had to actually do much of anything."
"Totally." Chase nodded. "It's like how Emma dumped me because she thought I put her in 'danger', but I knew she'd be fine!"
"Okay, that is not the same thing at all!" Millie interrupted. "Have you even driven a car before? I'd be terrified! You are totally in the wrong for that."
"Hey! Wh-what's your damage?" Chase said, surprised that more people disagreed with the stunt. "I was agreeing with you, you sound like someone who's never had any friends growing up."
Millie's eyes widened as she looked down while Priya grew mad.
"Millie has a friend! Me! And not the not real reality show kinda friendship, but the really real kind in reality for real friendship!" She yelled while pointing at him.
Chase backed away awkwardly before getting confused at her description. "What?"
"I-I confused myself too. But Millie is my friend, so maybe you should try harder or you wouldn't have people like Emma dumping you all the time!" She finished while staring at him dead in the eye.
"Whatever" He said in response as he left both the girls alone but not before noticing Millie write some more.
CONFESSIONAL: CHASE
"Okay, what is with Millie and that book? She's been writing in it non stop!" Chase notices, appearing annoyed and curious. "Maybe she's working on an essay to cancel me online! Pfft, you know how many people have tried that already?"
"Wow, thanks Priya!" Millie said, surprised she stood up for her like that.
"Hey! We should form an alliance!" Priya suggested to her which had her apprehensive.
"Are you sure?" Millie asked her. "I'm not as well prepared for these challenges as you are."
"I can train you! Lemme train you! It'll be so fun!" Priya said while jumping up and down excitedly. "Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!"
"Sure thing!" Millie finally agreed as the two of them high fived.
CONFESSIONAL: PRIYA
"My family prepared me for all the challenges they could but I know that's not all it takes to win Total Drama." Priya realized. Going through one elimination ceremony opened her eyes to working with others. "Millie's been great. She's always asking about me like I'm in an interview. I've never been in that spot before!"
CONFESSIONAL: MILLIE
"No one's ever come to my defense like that." Millie said with her eyes still widened. "Priya likes me so much I almost feel bad for eviscerating her and her parents in my book. But, science is the pursuit of facts, not friends."
"No fair. Why should you get all the money!" Ripper called out. Him and Chase were both in the guys Cabin debating on who should get all the Drama Dollars.
"Come on man, work with me here!" Chase tried reasoning. "If we all go together, it'll be obvious we're in an alliance! If one person goes with all the money, it'll be less of a giveaway."
"Exactly. That's why it should be me!" Ripper said, trying to reach for Chase's dollars only for him to pull away.
"No way, man. How do I know you won't spend it all on yourself?" Chase interrogated him.
"How do I know you won't do the same, huh?" Ripper growled.
The two went back and forth before getting interrupted by Zee walking in to their cabin. "Woah, cool. Where did you guys get all that money?"
Chase and Ripper both stopped and looked at each other. A few seconds later, Zee left for the mess hall, counting up all the money in his hands.
"This is awesome. This is the most I've ever made in a day. What am I supposed to do with this again?" He asks himself.
FROGS CABIN DAY #7.
Wayne and Raj were hanging outside of their cabins, still in disbelief over last night's events.
"Can you believe Nichelle?" Wayne asked. "She was so fierce in the movies. Was she pretending all this time?"
"Uh, news flash. That's how TV works. Sad fact of life, none of it is real." They both turned and saw MK walking past on her way to the mess hall.
Raj seemed doubtful of the news. "But she stopped an alien invasion!"
"What? You're gonna tell me aliens are real now?" She asked which got the bros to look at each other, worried.
"Wait, if that was fake, does that mean they're still coming?" Raj panicked, confirming MK's otherwise sarcastic question.
"Also on TV. Also not real." Was all she said in response, finding it hard to believe she was even having this conversation.
"Wait. We're on TV!" Wayne pointed out as the two looked around at the numerical cameras currently filming them. "Does that mean we're not real!?"
They both started patting themselves all over to make sure. "Nuh uh, no way brah!" Raj screamed while MK just laughed and left.
CONFESSIONAL: MK
"Eavesdropping. It's a personal hobby of mine" MK chucked to herself. "I mean okay, I like messing with people's minds but, come on, some minds just mess with themselves."
Her mind then went to other matters. "I've got more important things to focus on, like finding that immunity statue. I got two votes last night, and I'll probably get more if we lose again. I betcha it was one of the hockey bros who did it." She theorized, her mind still on last night.
"Chris said the other day that they haven't been found yet. So I'm gonna do some searching with Cassie and see what we can find. I just gotta figure out how to get more Drama Dollars." She thinks to herself, as she only had 5 so far from the challenge the Frogs won at sea.
CONFESSIONAL: BOWIE
"I admit it, I voted for MK. I just wanted to rattle her cage a little from that last challenge." Bowie shrugged whilst laughing to himself.
MK continued her walk and found Zee just in front of her, appearing to be counting some green notes in his hand. MK recognized this immediately and had an idea come to her.
"Hey Zee!" She called out which got him to pause and turn around. "You remember that bet we made back on Day 1?"
"A bet? Aw man, was that a challenge I missed?" He groaned to himself while looking down.
"I mean about you betting 20 Drama Dollars that Caleb was gonna win the whole thing. Then he got voted out?" She reminds him as he looks down on the money in hand.
"Oh, I was wondering what I was supposed to do with this. That makes a lot more sense." Zee realized while handing 20 over to MK. "There ya go, thanks MK."
As he walks away to the Mess Hall, MK looked at her money, now at 25 Drama Dollars and laughed to herself. "No. Thank you."
MESS HALL DAY #7.
"Clues are 15 drama dollars each, huh? Dang." Cassidy said to herself as she walked away from the vending machine and went back to her food. She currently had 10 drama dollars from her two challenge wins with the Trout so one more would be enough for that clue to the statue.
She walked past the trio of Harvey, Bowie and Emma who were all glancing down at their food.
"Another day, another gag reflex." Bowie muttered as he was poking at his bowl.
"So where is it you work again?" Harvey asked Emma as he was trying to distract himself from having to eat.
"At a supermarket." Emma answered, not seeming fond of it. "After I called it quits with Chase, I moved back home with my Dad and had to find an actual job. It was the only place that would hire me. I'm still trying to figure out what to do on social media."
"I tried working at a place like that but I guess stress got the better of me." Harvey nervously said.
"I totally get that. I guess one good thing that came out of living in that prank house is I'm now able to put up with less annoying people." Emma admitted. Harvey meanwhile looked behind her.
"Speak of the devil..." He warned as she turned around and found herself face to face with her ex.
"Hey Emma." He said with a smile and a wink which she rolled her eyes at.
"Hey..." Emma responded with a glare. The two then looked back at Harvey and Bowie who felt awkward about being nearby.
"I'll go... uh... fill my bowl back up." Harvey excused and got up with his bowl which was noticeably already still pretty full and walked out of earshot.
CONFESSIONAL: HARVEY
"At first I found it kinda entertaining how Emma would go on these Chase tangents but now I just try and avoid them. Listen relationship drama just isn't my thing." Harvey said with a shake of his head. "The only problems I can relate to is getting my bills paid on time. And that's something a million dollars can take care of no problem!"
"Yeah, I'll give you two some privacy to talk" Bowie stated as he got up only to move to the far end of the table, still wanting to eavesdrop. "Go ahead, I'm not even here."
"What do you want?" Emma asked him bluntly, wanting the conversation to be over with.
"I just wanted to let you know my cabbage bruises are healing up so you can stop worrying about me" Chase bragged which wound her up.
"What makes you think I was worrying?" Emma defended.
"Hey, come on. I saw you watching." Chase nudged her shoulder, clearly missing her intentions.
"Uh, yeah! Cause I like seeing you in pain! That's why I fired cabbages at you all day!" She got up, pointing at him.
"So... you were thinking about me all day!" Chase concluded which had her slap her forehead. "Aw. That's sweet, babe. Catch you later!" He poked her nose playfully before leaving the table.
Emma growled and punched her bowl with anger, getting some all over Bowie.
"Yeah, I overheard all of that. You doing okay?" He asked her, feeling genuinely concerned.
"What do I need to do to show him we're over?" Emma wondered, frustrated over Chase's obliviousness.
"Well when I'm trying to get an ex off my back, there's one of two things I do." Bowie started before thinking back for a bit. "First thing I do is fake flirt with someone else, have them think I'm giving that person my attention instead. You could do that with Harvey!"
"Nuh uh, no way!" Emma denied with her arms. "I'm not putting Harvey through that."
"Fair enough. Second option? Honestly, if you want to prove you're done thinking about Chase, just spit balling here, maybe you should just stop thinking about him?" Bowie pointed to his head as if this were easy. Emma seemed to have an easier time considering that one.
"Done" She nodded.
CONFESSIONAL: EMMA.
"I can do that! No problem. Nope, I already forgot that he's here." Emma confirmed, thinking this would work. "Who's here? I dunno. See? So easy. Haha." She laughed before there was an awkward silence. "I'm talking about Chase."
Harvey later returned to see the mess all over the table. "Nice chat?"
Chase then joined Ripper and Zee who were glancing down at a couple bottles of hot sauce that Zee bought from the machine.
"Was this really all that machine would cough up? What a rip off." Chase ranted, clearly hoping to get more than they did.
"What? You scared of a little hot sauce?" Ripper challenged while grabbing his bottle.
"Are you kidding?" Chase asked him while raising up his bottle, opening it. "I've been training for the under 18s most hot sauce drank in one sitting challenge for my entire life!"
"Too bad it's all gonna go to waste. That challenge is mine!" Ripper yelled as they both looked at each other, knowing where this was going. "10 thousand dollars, here I come!"
Priya and Millie meanwhile were queueing for their food after solidifying their alliance.
"Okay, not to agree with Chase, but we could use another ally..." Millie suggested as her friend seemed unsure. "We're a team of 8. Two people ain't gonna cut it."
"Ally?" Priya asked her, curious.
"You know? Someone who will vote with us rather than against us?" Millie specified as Priya now understood. "Who do we ask?"
"How about Damien? The three of us seem to get along just fine." Priya suggested as the camera panned to Damien who watched nervously as a bug was crawling away with his bowl of food on it somehow.
"Didn't you hear yesterday? He doesn't want to be here anymore. Next time we lose, chances are he's just gonna vote himself off." Millie pointed out as they started looking around at the others.
"Chase and Ripper have a bromance thing going on..." She continued as they watched Ripper and Chase belch out the hot sauce they were trying to drink.
"Ha! I win!" Ripper bragged as he threw down the bottle.
"No way! You belched first!" Chase argued as the two continued to go back and forth.
"Zee is a total wildcard. We don't know what's going on with him" Millie explains as their attention shifted to Zee who was simply chugging one of his sodas with ease.
"Well that just leaves Cassidy and Lauren." Priya said with a shrug, unsure about either of them.
"Cassidy is hard to read. Don't know what it is about her but I don't trust her. She's too quiet." Millie says as that lowered their list even further. "Well, I think we have our answer!"
"You don't mean..." Priya trails off as her and Millie look at the table behind them as Lauren stood with an evil look in her face, stirring and stabbing her bowl of mush while carving in to the tables.
"You go ahead. I'll stay here and scream in case she tries to eat you." Millie reassures her which weirdly didn't help her nerves.
"Can't we both just talk to her?" Priya asked her nervously.
"Nah, you're more people smart, I'm more book smart." Millie explains, trying to talk her way out of it.
"Hehehe" Lauren trails off as she stares in to the distance.
"Oh, okay, sure! Here I go!" Priya gets up and slowly wanders over to her table.
"Good luck." Was all Millie was able to whisper.
Priya reached her table however Lauren seemed too preoccupied with playing with her food. "Hey! Team Trout! Woo! Woo!" She cheered with hands in the air.
Lauren slowly turned around and sniffed the air. "You smell nervous..."
Priya began to sweat as she felt like she was poking a bear.
CONFESSIONAL: PRIYA
"I can't help it! Sometimes I'm awkward and nervous when trying to make conversation." Priya defended. "And when I'm nervous, my awkwardness goes from about 40% to about 75% until it's through the roof..."
Priya was frantically trying to explain herself to Lauren who seemed to just be waiting for an excuse to act maliciously.
"So we'd be like puffy pals. Hehe. That's what I call my stuffed animals." She continued before Lauren looks at her again. "Oh, uh, not anymore! Well, I mean, that's still their name. We're just not friends currently. I mean we're not NOT friends, it wasn't a fight, y'know. Just life stuff."
"Why are you still talking?" Lauren asked with a stab of her spoon on the table, seeming impatient.
"Heh, good question! I... just wanted to say, we both kicked butt at yesterday's challenge. You surprised me! You were so good!" Priya tried complimenting her which got her to drop the spoon.
"Oh, it surprised you that I was good because you thought I'd be bad?" Lauren asked, pointing her spoon at Priya menacingly.
"Oh, I just though, I... uh..." Priya trailed off nervously, hoping she didn't just sign her gravestone.
"Woah, woah, same team!" Zee walked past them both as they looked back at him. "Priya wasn't trying to insult you, brah. She was just a little freaked at how you rocked that challenge-a-mundo."
"Uh, yeah! Exactly!" Priya said, feeling relieved that he sorted this out.
"Because you look weak and super weird." Zee continued which got her to feel scared again. "You dress like a haunted circus doll and have the eyes of a soul sucking corpse. So Priya figured you'd be bad at all the challenges. That's all she was just trying to say!"
Zee walked off while whistling to himself while Lauren cracked her neck around back to Priya with her eyes twitching.
CONFESSIONAL: ZEE
"Not to worry. A misunderstanding was going down and I was like 'Boom! Fixed it!'" He explained in his usual tone.
"I'm gonna, uh, go now." Priya stammered before walking off in a panic.
"So how'd it go?" Millie asked as she got back, clearly still shaken up from the exchange.
"Something tells me I might want to sleep in a different bed tonight." Was all she was able to say as she just went back to eating.
Cassidy was seen with her head down, feeling more tired as the days went on. MK then went ahead to join her when everyone else had left.
"You don't look so great." MK commented.
"Yeah, well I'm used to having my playlist at full blast while I'm sleeping." Cassidy explained, hinting that she was still waiting for her MP3 player to get returned.
"I promise I'll get it back to you after the challenge." MK said with her hands up in defense. "Anyway, you wanna help me look for these statues or not?"
Cassidy was left speechless after MK pulled out 10 drama dollars. This compared to Cassidy's 10 made 20 which was enough for a clue and a bit extra. "Where did you get all that?"
"What can I say? I'm crafty." MK shrugged off while Cassidy raised an eyebrow. She wasn't going to question it however and they both went ahead to the vending machine and purchased the statue clue together. The clue read:
Though in Camp Life, I am out of sight
Challenges are where I shine bright
In a dark area, not remote
Do your best not to explode
Both looked at each other puzzled.
"What does that mean?" Cassidy wondered.
"Not sure. Either way, it's gonna have to wait for tomorrow." MK deducted. "Guess these things can only be found in challenges."
"And this is a clue for only one of them." Cassidy told her. The two agreed to wait for tomorrow for the challenge to get announced and go from there.
The loudspeaker came on the following day with Chris present as always. "Campers! It's challenge time! By the Wawanakwa forest, pronto!"
WAWANAKWA FOREST DAY #8.
Both teams stood either side of Chris standing with a stick and a TV in the middle.
"Trouts and Frogs! Welcome to your next challenge. This is something I like to call, capture the skull!" He then heard giggling and clapping coming from Lauren as he turned to her. "Settle down. They're not real!" This got her to stop and frown.
The TV displayed a picture of one of the skulls for a moment before switching to a map of the Island. "Chef spent this morning building each team a fort. Here and here!" The logos were displayed on the map inside the forest, both at a resonable distance from each other.
The forts were then displayed with the team flags above them, looking surprisingly sturdy. "In front of each team's fort is a pedestal where your team's skull must remain. So no trying to be sneaky and hiding it from the other team, got it? The first team to steal the other team's skull and bring it back to me right here, wins immunity. Any questions?"
Lauren instantly shot her hand up. "Does it need to be one of the skulls you provided or would you accept any skull?" She asked while pointing at Damien, getting him to panic.
"Why is she looking at my head? Tell her to stop looking at my head!" He exclaimed while covering his head and looking away like she was medusa.
"Sorry Lauren. It has to be the skull I provided! and you should always be this far away from me!" He explains while pushing her away from him with his pointing stick.
"I think that was a smart question" Priya added, once again earning Lauren's glare. "Not just smart for you! Smart for anyone! Just plain smart! You are smart!"
Lauren's glare intensified while cracking her neck while Priya tried to keep herself quiet.
CONFESSIONAL: PRIYA
"Someone please stop me from talking to her" She frantically asked, hoping that at least this confessional was a safe space.
"To defend your skull, each fort is equipped with several, well... let's call them weapons! Fire hoses! Stink bombs! A boulder dispenser and harpoon launchers!" Chris listed out before Wayne raised his hand. "Ugh, what now?"
"Those things look pointy. How do we finish the challenge if you know all the blood falls outta our body?" Wayne asks, confusing half his team and grossing out the other half.
"Oh don't worry. These only fire toilet plungers. Watch!" Chris demonstrated by pulling one out and pointing them at the Trout, causing them to duck as the plunger shot over them and in to a test dummy, obliterating it and collapsing the tree behind it. This signalled Chef to run to the group.
"Hey! Did you turn up the air pressure on these?" Chef asked while taking the launcher Chris was holding.
"What? Why would I...? Oh of course I did." Chris admitted which caused Chef to leave to turn the pressure down. "Jeez, for once in your life, can you think of the ratings? What ever happened to grumpy millitary Chef? Guess Mr Safety will be making the harpoons less exciting."
This made the campers slightly less nervous about the challenge. "And one more thing, you'll also have cover. Each fort area has shields popping up and down at random intervals." The camera then displayed the shields as they were emerging from bushes. "Teams must decide who defends and who tries to capture the other team's skull. As always, the losing team will be sending someone home. Challenge starts when I pull the trigger."
Chris raised his loud toy pistol which got Millie to groan. "Guess he's back with the guns now."
FROGS FORT.
Wayne gathered the group as they all stood around the skull. "Okay, the other team has an extra player so they got a power play." He pointed out.
"Which means we gotta work harder to keep them outta our zone." Raj added.
"Totally, Raji! Pass the head bone to the open player keepaway style!" Wayne explained with a determined look.
"Uh, the skull has to stay on the pedestal, remember?" Harvey raised his hand as Wayne and Raj looked at each other cluelessly.
CONFESSIONAL: BOWIE
"These hockey jocks are like puppies. Not the smartest, but adorable..." Bowie said with his head resting on both hands. "After the cabbage challenge, Wayne's kinda stuck to being our team captain. No complaints here but I got my eye on him." He warned, not underrestimating Wayne as a threat, even though it's Wayne.
"Emma, Julia and Harvey, D1 to D2 wheel breakout. MK on the wing, gets it to the pivot while Bowie takes their eyes away. No blind passes! Let's get that skull!" Raj blurted out as with everyone looking at each other confused.
A shot was then heard from the distance as Chris raised the megaphone. "This challenge is on!"
"Go! Go! Go!" Raj let out as him and Wayne rushed off and left their fort.
"Uh, did you understand any of that?" MK asked the group.
"Not really. We can figure it out though" Harvey shrugged.
"You gotta admit, it was kinda cute." Bowie said to them as he walked off. "Let's go."
"Okay then" MK trailed off as the two walked off which left Emma, Julia and Harvey.
"I guess that means we're on defense?" Emma asked as Harvey nodded and Julia left to go inside the fort.
"Sure, whatever." She responded with, seemingly uninterested.
CONFESSIONAL: EMMA
"Is it just me or has Julia kinda not been doing much in any of the challenges?" Emma asked, seeming a bit frustrated that she was stuck with her. "She seems nice and all but hello? At least try and be a team player."
CONFESSIONAL: JULIA
"I've been stuck without a phone for 8 days. Do you know how many posts I could've made about my self discovery by now?" Julia groaned with an eye roll. "Almost makes it difficult to care about any of this. I've gotta try and get one back!"
TROUT FORT.
The Trout were all standing around, seemingly unsure of what their strategy should be.
"Wait, how do we know when the game starts?" Zee asked the group as they all heard noise behind them.
"Hoot! Hoot!" Wayne and Raj were rushing towards them.
"Have they ever heard an owl before?" Damien wondered while the group began to get nervous.
"Oh crud! They're coming!" Priya cried out. "What's the plan? Who's on defense?"
"I can take the fire hose." Zee suggested, holding the hose up.
"Great" Priya approved, looking towards who would claim the other weapons.
"I call plunger harpoons!" Ripper claimed. "I'm a first person shooter pro."
"For once, I hope you're telling the truth. I can handle the stink bombs!" Cassidy quipped as she looked around. "Where's Lauren?"
"I call the jackhammer!" Everyone heard Lauren's voice as she was standing next to a random jackhammer.
"Nice-wait what?" Priya cut herself off as Lauren drilled forwards on the hammer giggling as usual.
Chris looked confused as well as he glanced at Chef. "Chef. Did you leave a jackhammer on the playing field?"
"I mean, I uh... I got distracted when you took that tree down with a plunger." Chef admitted, seemingly guilty that one team has the upper hand in terms of weapons.
Sigh* Chris took out his megaphone and switched it on. "Everyone! Chef made a mistake! So obviously the jackhammer is... now part of the game!"
"Go! Go! Go!" Wayne, Raj, Bowie and MK all arrived at the entrance to the Trout fort.
They all froze as they heard giggling coming from the forest and Lauren coming out on her jackhammer. "Who wants to be my first crush?"
"Retreat! Retreat!" Wayne and Raj called out as they fled the scene.
CONFESSIONAL: WAYNE AND RAJ
"Wow, talk about bringing the hammer down, eh? Whatcha think, Raji?" Wayne nudged Raj who seemed just as excited.
"Penalty!" Raj yelled with his arms in the air.
"Or 10 to 20 for attempted murder!" Wayne pointed out as Raj burst out laughing.
"Ha! Nice one! The joke I mean. Not murder. Murder's not nice" Raj specified which earned him a pat on the back from Wayne.
"Woah, that was deep, bro." Wayne told him.
Everyone on the Trout watched on as they heard the screams of the Frogs fleeing their base.
"They're on the run!" Chase noticed. "This is our chance. Let's do this! Come on!"
Chase led the offense team as he, Millie and Priya all ran off towards the Frogs base while Damien just sighed and followed along.
CONFESSIONAL: DAMIEN
"I can't get voted out if my team keeps winning all the time!" Damien complained. "There are boulders, stink bombs and Scary Girl on a jackhammer! Who wouldn't want to leave over that?"
Emma heard running and saw the Trout heading their way. "They're coming! Get ready!"
She was on the hose while Julia looked at her plunger harpoon. "I hear plungers can really bring out your lips. Maybe I should try one." She wondered as Emma groaned to herself.
Priya and Millie were both leading the squad as they headed closer to the skull.
"This is great! I can feel the adrenaline rush!" Priya cheered.
"Yeah! Wait, why's Chase hanging back?" Millie asked as her and Priya turned back and saw Chase walking behind slowly, whistling to himself.
"Get down!" Priya yelled as she dove to the floor. Millie on the other hand wasn't so lucky and got blasted by the water hose.
The force launched her just in front of Chase who glanced down. "Ooh, and that's why I was hanging back." He bragged.
"Oh no! Millie are you okay?" Priya panicked as she looked down at her friend who still felt dazed by the blast.
"She isn't and you won't be either." Chase responded as he pointed behind her.
Emma grinned as she aimed the hose. Priya tried bracing herself but luckily one of the shields came up at just the right time to protect her from the blast.
"Okay, you got lucky!" Emma yelled out, already annoyed at the shields. "Who's next?"
She looked around and saw her next target stick out like a sore thumb.
CONFESSIONAL: EMMA
"Ugh! Blasting him might send the wrong message but letting him get the skull will for sure send the wrong message..." Emma weighed her options before coming to an easy decision. "When in doubt, hurt Chase!"
She took aim and fired before another shield came up and blocked her shot.
CONFESSIONAL: CHASE
"Heh, you see how she waited until I was safe?" Chase laughed to himself in confidence. "That's love!"
His head then peered around from the shield. "Thanks for waiting babe! We're like secret teammates!"
Emma started screaming before Harvey came up behind her. "It's okay. Just ignore him. Priya could be making her move."
"Where have you been?" Emma asked. Almost annoyed that she's been left alone on defense.
"Oh I've been checking out the fort. Seeing if there's anything we could use. And check it out!" Harvey pulled out two slabs of metal. "Now we can shield ourselves!"
"Did you pull those from the fort?" Emma wondered as she noticed two noticable holes in the fort.
"They were loose pieces!" Harvey excused. "I'm gonna try get these to the attackers which'll hopefully help us out."
"Okay but hurry! Chase and Priya are still lurking!" Emma warned as he nodded and left their base.
Lauren eventually lost the group she was hunting for as she passed a large bush which turned out to have the group of 4 hidden out of site. They waited for her to leave before emerging.
"That was a close one!" Bowie said as he and the others ducked back down, trying to figure out a new strategy. "What are we gonna do now?"
"We need a decoy! Then we can draw out their defense!" Wayne figured as Raj nodded in agreement.
"MK, fake left and draw her away from us while we score the skull." Raj instructed her which was another plan she wasn't a fan of.
"You want me as bait? Yeah no thanks jockstrap." MK brushed off.
"Sorry MK, time to take one for the team!" Bowie delcared as she was thrown out of the bush, drawing Lauren's attention.
"Ooh, time to make some MK jam." Lauren grinned as she turned towards her.
MK gasped as she got up and ran away. "Not cool! Not cool!"
She was starting to run out of breath as she glanced around, spotting the boat house off the side. Not thinking twice, she ran in and slammed the door.
"Little pig, little pig. Let me come in" Lauren giggled as she passed the boat house.
"Wow, do they not screen contestants at all for this show?" MK ranted.
She thought she was in the clear until she saw Damien pop up from the bush in front of the house, making brief eye contact with her. MK slowly ducked and hid behind the door.
CONFESSIONAL: DAMIEN
"I coulda ratted MK out but I kinda felt bad. After all if I had to choose between fighting a wolf or Lauren on a jackhammer? I'd take that wolf every time." Damien chucked. "I am very glad she's on my team!"
"Hey Scary! I think she's gone!" Damien called out. "May as well go after someone else!"
Lauren twisted her head around and smiled at Damien. "Good idea..."
"No! No! No! We're on the same team!" Damien screamed as he fled his bush with Lauren on his tail.
CONFESSIONAL: LAUREN
"Okay. Sometimes I get carried away..." Lauren trailed off with the camera glitching out while filming her.
"Phew. Think they're gone..." MK wiped the sweat from her forehead.
She glanced behind her and saw a giant computer with a bunch of monitors. She walked towards them with interest. "Ooh, what do we have here?"
MK felt in her element as she was exploring all the different controls until she found one for the cameras and shield. "Oh, and this controls the shields? Haha! Let the fun begin!"
The trio of Bowie, Raj and Wayne arrived yet again at the entrance to the Trout fort.
"Let's get that skull!" Wayne let out as they all charged forward.
Zee, Ripper and Cassidy were all waiting for them on the roof of their fort.
"Stay back or I'll spray you with this fire hose!" Zee called out while pointing at the hose.
"You're not supposed to warn them dorkus! Just fire!" Ripper took aim and fired his plungers with Zee turning on the hose.
Everyone screamed as they managed to dodge the obstacles until Cassidy took out a stinkbomb. "Bombs away!"
She threw one which caused quite the explosion as the Frogs coughed through it, unable to see but still present.
"Woah! Sweet moves guys!" Zee said while Ripper rolled his eyes.
"That's it. I'm releasing the boulders!" Ripper announced as he leapt from the roof and pulled the boulder lever, releasing the giant rock after them.
"Watch out!" Bowie pointed at the approaching boulder.
Wayne then took the front and held his arms out. "It's cool. I got this one!" He bragged. The boulder however made quick work of him while moving past the others.
"Ouch. Clean hit though!" Raj pointed out to his squashed buddy.
Ripper pulled the lever to release a second boulder where Bowie saw it rolling towards Raj.
"Raj! Look out!" Bowie yelled as he ran towards him.
Raj was trying to help Wayne up but Bowie tackled him out the way as the boulder crushed Wayne for a second time.
"Big rocks are way heavier than little rocks." Wayne said, dazed at the impact of both boulders.
Raj woke up from the tackle to find Bowie laying on top of him. "Uh, thanks!"
"It's all good." Bowie responded as he helped the two of them up.
CONFESSIONAL: RAJ
"I think that was, uh... I feel, um... huh." Raj scratched the back of his neck, unsure how to feel but slowly figuring it out.
CONFESSIONAL: WAYNE
"So, like, for a while I've been pretty sure my buddy Raj is gay." Wayne confessed, still holding his ribs from the boulders. "If it's true then I can't wait for him to tell me!"
Lauren meanwhile was having a blast on the hammer. Her target, Damien was hiding away in a stump that she passed. He peaked out just to see where she was.
"Phew, okay. It's okay. Scary Lady's gone." Damien kept telling himself, trying to calm his nerves and not giving himself more reasons than he needs to to get off of this show.
"Oh look." MK spotted on the cameras. "Damien's trying to hide. Not for long! Thanks for not ratting me out but business is business I guess."
She then hit one of the buttons which caused the shield Damien was standing over to shoot up, launching him in front of the stump while screaming which was enough to alert Lauren to him. "There you are!"
"Not again!" Damien yelled as he ran away.
CONFESSIONAL: LAUREN
"I know Damien's on my team, but his screams are so delicious!" Lauren admitted, enjoying hearing him scream since the ship challenge where he almost got eaten alive by a shark. "What's a girl to do?"
MK laughed while watching until something else caught her eye. A locked box in the corner between the monitors. "What could this be?" She grabbed the box and pulled out a paperclip, trying to pick it open. Having enough experience, it didn't take long for her to open it. "Bingo!"
Inside ended up being a bunch of phones, MK picked one up, confused. "Wait a minute, these are Julia's phones!" She looked both ways before pocketing it and putting the box back where she found it, forgetting to lock it.
CONFESSIONAL: MK
"This rules! The MP3 player was nice and all but with this bad boy, I can record a heck of a lot more confessionals!" MK says with an evil grin. "And Cassidy doesn't even have to know about it. Check it out."
She took out the confessional cable and plugged it in to the phone with it playing the footage of Lauren saying "His screams are so delicious!"
"Yup, there's for sure zero screening process to get on this show." She confirmed as if past seasons weren't anything to go by.
Ripper tried pulling the lever again however nothing released. "Crud! We're outta boulders!"
"At least the Frogs have started fleeing. We just gotta deal with Raj and Bowie." Cassidy observed.
"Wait, where are Damien and Lauren?" Ripper asked and right on cue, Damien ran past them, screaming with Lauren hot on his tail. "Seriously? Do I have to do everything?"
He walked to the crate of stink bombs Cassie was using and took a sniff. "Sheesh, no wonder they're still here. These stink bombs are terrible! We're gonna need something a little extra."
Cassidy then shook one around, noticing some chemicals moving around. "How about we use the hose and the bombs? Everyone knows these things smell ten times worse when they're wet." Cassidy suggested.
"Not a bad idea. So you are more than a pretty face after all!" Ripper called out with a smile.
"Yeah, for your sake, I'm gonna take that as a compliment." Cassidy said as she grabbed a couple bombs. "Ready?"
"Fire in the hole!" Ripper yelled. Cassidy threw up a few bombs and Ripper blasted them with the hose, shooting them towards Raj and Bowie's location.
The smell did it's job as Bowie and Raj caught it behind their shield as they started coughing and gagging while trying to flee the scene. "Run away!"
"Direct hit!" Ripper cheered as Zee walked up behind them.
"Dudes, respect. Nice job." He commented, impressed at their teamwork.
"I wonder if most stink bombs set off in a minute is a world record." Ripper wondered, glancing at the crate with a grin.
"Don't even think about it." Cassidy warned, not wanting their base to all of a sudden get polluted.
"Guys? Hello?" Harvey turned up at the scene with both shields in hand, wondering where they ran off to as Cassie and Ripper launched more wet stink bombs his way, forcing him to flee the scene with his eyes watering. "Ew! Smells like rotten onions!"
CONFESSIONAL: RIPPER
"Stink bombs are a piece of cake!" Ripper boasted. "You can launch one and you don't even have to worry about getting caught. Try it with your parents. Launch one through their bedroom window. Warning, they will wake up angry."
"Well, the Frogs are gone for now so that should buy us some time. I don't see the others anywhere." Cassidy said, worried about whether her team was gonna be able to pull through.
"Alright, new plan! You two guard the fort! I'm off to win this thing!" Ripper ordered as he ran off, leaving Cassidy and Zee to their own devices.
Wayne was now back with Emma and Julia as they all did their best with their weapons. Wayne had the bombs, Emma had the harpoon while Julia took over on the hose "We gotta protect our skull!"
A stink bomb went flying and the shield went down at just the right time to expose Priya, causing her to panic but dodge it. Emma meanwhile returned her focus to Chase who's shield also went down in time to get targeted.
"Okay this is more fun than I thought it'd be." Emma laughed before continuing her hunt.
Chase dove behind the only available shield and was crammed together with Millie and Priya.
"Is it just me or are these shields kinda messing with us?" Millie wondered.
"It's Chris, what do you expect?" Priya responded with an annoyed tone, knowing too well that this is something the host would do.
MK continued laughing from behind the monitors, doing her best to leave the Trout exposed. "Dance puppets, dance!"
"Forget the shields!" Chase said as their shield lowered. "I have a plan. Here's what-oof!" He started as he got interupted by a plunger to the face.
"Terrible plan Chase!" Priya called out as her and Millie followed him by getting blasted by the water hose.
"Nice shot, Julia!" Emma commended as Julia managed to get her target.
CONFESSIONAL: JULIA
"Their pores were gross, so I did them a favor. You're welcome." She stated with her arms crossed.
Bowie and Raj made it back to the fort, still coughing from the stench.
"Woah, what happened to you two?" Julia asked the duo, trying to ignore their smell.
"Those bombs and that hose totally smoked us." Raj pointed back at the scene.
"It's like 25 skunks wrapped in the shell of a bomb!" Bowie added.
"Where were you guys?" They all turned and saw Harvey manage to catch up with them. "I was looking everywhere for you!"
"Got wrecked by boulders and bombs. Long story." Bowie explained as he noticed Harvey holding two slabs of metal. "What're those?"
"Oh, I pulled these off the fort. Figured we could use them as shields since those ones are dodgy." Harvey explained. "Wait, who's gonna attack now?"
"I think we're tagging out." Bowie said, not in the mood to go back out there again
"Okay. You guys hang back to protect our skull. Harvey and I will go after theirs!" Emma said as Harvey nodded, tossing her one of the slabs while he used the other one.
CONFESSIONAL: EMMA
"With Harvey's shield strategy, I feel good about finishing this for us. I'm gonna make sure we win this challenge and send Chase's butt back to that campfire ceremony." Emma said with a determined look in her face. "Everytime our team wins, there's a chance Chase gets eliminated. And that's what I call motivation!"
Priya and Millie were laying in a pile, unable to get up from the water. Ripper then caught up to them.
"Why are you two just lying around?" He yelled at them. "You're supposed to get the skull!"
"Can't... shields... keep... disappearing." Priya tried explaining out of breath.
Ripper then glanced behind him and saw Harvey and Emma run towards their fort, holding up their shields. An idea then struck his head. "Then I guess I'll make my own shield!"
He went ahead, picked Priya up and started running. "Hey! Put me down!"
CONFESSIONAL: RIPPER
"Those nerds on the Frogs like to think of ways to get ahead. So my new plan is to just copy them at whatever they try pulling." Ripper said confidently. "It's like copying the answers off someone else's test without the 3 weeks detention."
"Here they come again!" Wayne warned as he, Raj and Bowie now moved to the roof of their base to get a better aim.
"Wait, it's just Priya." Raj said they all looked closer and found Ripper moving behind her.
"No! It's Ripper!" Bowie exclaimed.
They all grabbed the harpoons and the hose and opened fire with Priya taking all the shots for Ripper, with one landing squarely on her face.
"He's unstoppable!" Wayne gasped.
"That all you got?" Ripper taunted as they got closer to the end.
Julia on the other hand noticed there was something they hadn't tried yet. "Uh, hello? We got boulders!"
She pulled the lever which released the first boulder. Ripper gasped "Oh crud!" And dropped Priya, ducking out the way of the oncoming boulder and allowing Priya to get squashed.
Bowie and Wayne tried firing but only just noticed they were out of ammo. "Wow, he's gonna win!" Bowie said in disbelief.
Ripper made it to their skull and picked it up. "Woohoohoo! You just got ripped!" Julia then released their second and final boulder which started chasing Ripper as he started making his way back to where Chris and Chef were waiting for him. "Wow, I feel like tbe cowboy in that one movie! Make way for the winner!"
There was however one more obstacle awaiting him as MK observed from the boat house. "Winner? Haha, nah! More like weiner!"
She pushed another button as a shield popped up in front of Ripper as he crashed in to it, allowing the skull to go flying and the boulder squashing him against the shield. "No! Someone grab it!" He cried out while rubbing his head.
Damien kept running from Lauren as he tripped on a branch and fell. He could only watched as she inched closer towards him.
"Come on. Can we talk this out? We're on the same team!" Damien screamed as the skull landed on his head and next to Lauren, drawing her attention away from the Chemistry dork.
"Ooh, what's this?" She wondered, getting off the jackhammer and picking up the skull, admiring it.
"Run to Chris!" She heard Ripper call out to her. "Run the skull to Chris!"
"That was fun. Let's play together again sometime!" Lauren proposed to Damien before skipping off with the skull.
"Let's... let's not..." Damien gasped, passing out briefly.
Emma and Harvey made their way to the Trout base as Zee blasted them with water, knocking them back slightly however the slabs helped them keep their stance.
"Hey! You guys are doing great! You should be proud of yourselves!" Zee called out to them, trying to help make them feel better.
"I'll feel proud after we win, thanks!" Harvey proceeded forward as Cassidy got prepared to fire another bomb.
"Sorry, not happening!" She fired back, throwing the bomb. Harvey used the slab to bat the bomb back at her.
Cassidy yelled and ducked but the shield in front of her popped up to deflect it, catching Harvey off guard and striking him down.
"Emma! Come closer to this tree!" Emma heard a voice on one of the camera speakers. She quickly deduced it was MK but was confused.
"Why?" She asked the speaker, still confused as to how MK was speaking to her.
"Ah! Just do it!" MK impatiently ordered, worried Lauren made it back to Chris by now.
Emma wandered over to the tree and when she was standing over the bush, MK timed the button press and launched her towards the skull, dropping her shield in the process.
"Gah!" She yelled as she landed in front of the skull, still slightly dazed.
"Emma! The skull!" Harvey called out as she only just took notice of the pedestal.
"Yes! I got it!" Emma cheered as she lifted up the silver skull.
"Blast them! Quick!" Cassidy told Zee who shrugged and pointed the hose at Emma.
"Awesome!" Harvey said, catching up to her but forgetting his shield. "Let's head ba-gah!"
Him and Emma both took a blast from the hose which sent them flying down a hill, with Emma clutching the skull for dear life. Chris watched them both come tumbling down and crashed on the green mat in front of them.
Emma continued screaming despite them stopping and Harvey looked around, nudging her to get up. "Hey! We made it!"
Still feeling slightly dizzy, Emma stumbled forward with the skull. "I... did it." She said, pointing at the skull which Chris collected from her.
"And the Frogs of Death win!" He announced over the megaphone. Emma and Harvey celebrated and high fived each other.
"Awesome job! We make a great team!" Emma told him as they started heading back to the team.
CONFESSIONAL: HARVEY
"I'll be honest, I was nervous when I had to step in. That's why I tried handing off the slabs. I thought I was gonna blow it again." Harvey admitted, still feeling the ire of the past three challenges. "But something about having Emma there made me forget why I was nervous in the first place. She's a good motivator!"
The other four members were all cheering back at the base where MK rejoined them minutes later. "Yeah! We did it!" She joined in.
"We? Um, you didn't help at all." Julia accused her.
"Yeah I was, I was working the shield-" MK tried explaining as the others started walking away.
"Way to ghost, MK." Bowie said, leaving her feeling annoyed.
"I was bait for you guys! Are you kidding me?" She tried yelling back. Emma got back and patted her on the back.
"Don't worry. I know I wouldn't have gotten the skull without your help." She tried reassuring her.
"Aw, thanks for saying that, Emma." MK said before turning annoyed again. "After they left!"
The guys and Cassidy all regrouped at their base, wondering what had happened.
"Didn't Lauren get her skull first? What happened?" Chase wondered. Lauren then turned back up, skull still in hand but with a new makeover, this earned the glare of almost all her team members.
"Are you kidding me?" Ripper told her off. "All you had to do was take it to that Chris guy! We woulda won!"
"Aw, but he woulda taken it away from me." Lauren defended her choice. "I was trying to make her look better before taking it over. You only get one chance to make a first impression."
"That's it! You're going home for sure!" Ripper declared. He then heard muffling as they all turned to find Millie guiding Priya back to them, the plunger still stuck on Priya's face. "See? Priya agrees with me!"
"What happened to her?" Cassidy asked, shocked at how beaten up she looked.
"Ripper in his infinite wisdom decided to use her as a human shield and she took a lot of blows from the Frogs." Millie explained which got Cassidy to gasp.
"How could you do this to her?" Cassidy asked him angrily before joining Miliie to try and get the plunger from her. "Hold on, Priya!"
"Hey! I made a call and almost won it for us!" He shot back.
Cassidy and Millie managed to remove the plunger from her face as everyone gasped at her swollen lips and stretched out face. Ripper meanwhile just burst out laughing.
"Pfft, hahaha! Oh man. Guess we found our mascot for the next challenge. How's it going, Trout lips?" He taunted as she got more angry at him.
"You are a bad person!" Priya let out through muffled lips. "Anyone who does that to a teammate should be off the team!"
"Dude, you did go a little far." Zee admits, not liking the lengths Ripper went for the challenge.
"Oh come on! This should be an easy one!" Chase tries reasoning. "Who should be voted off? The guy who almost won it for the team or the weirdo who for sure lost it for us."
"You probably did something similar to Emma!" Millie accused Chase with a finger point.
"No! At least... not yet?" Chase struggled to recall as Damien stepped inbetween the two.
"Hey, if we're talking elimination, I'd just like to throw my name in to the mix." He suggested. "Please?"
Everyone left the area however Cassidy stayed behind to search through the battle grounds. "Where could it be?" She wondered to herself. She then eyed the crate of bombs and started digging through there.
She was careful not to activate any on her search and was able to reach the bottom of the crate where she found something red sticking out. Reaching for it, she pulled out a statue of a red trout fish and started cheering to herself. "Yeah! Score!"
CONFESSIONAL: CASSIDY
"This is perfect! A cross team alliance, confessional dirt and an immunity statue? Now that's what I call an upgrade!" She listed off, seeming to be in disbelief of how well the game was going for her. "Can't get too happy. There's other things I gotta take care of." Cassidy explained, making sure to pocket the statue before continuing.
"I found out that the guys started an alliance thanks to MK. I need to split that up, pronto!" Cassidy revealed. "After what Ripper did to Priya? No way am I putting up with him for any longer. And anyway, I've gotten enough plungers and swirlies growing up to know no girl should ever be in those shoes!"
CAMPFIRE CEREMONY 4: NIGHT #8.
Everyone walked along the path to the campfire. Ripper was out in front and could feel the stares coming from various teammates. They all arrived as Chris spent no time getting started.
"Greetings losers!" He began. "Some of you messed up. Some of you got messed up, and now you need to decide who deserves to be sent home."
"Damien." Chef started, catching Damien by surprise.
"What did I do?" Damien asked, genuinely curious.
"You didn't defend your team's skull or try to capture the other team's skull. You just ran around screaming." He explained which got a lot of the team to look at each other.
CONFESSIONAL: DAMIEN
"Okay, why is he saying that like I had a choice?" Damien wondered. "If that were anyone else, they woulda done the same thing."
"Ripper." Chef turned his attention to the self proclaimed alpha male.
"Here we go again." Ripper rolled his eyes.
"You nearly won it for your team!" Chef said.
"Thank you!" Ripper interupted, trying to scrape together any good will.
"But you did it by using one of your teammates as a human shield." He specified. Priya glared daggers at Ripper while holding an ice pack to her face.
CONFESSIONAL: RIPPER
"Ugh, he's saying exactly what I did, but making it sound bad!" Ripper complained.
"Lauren!" Chef called out.
"Present!" She replied while raising her hand with a smile.
"You had the skull but instead of giving it to Chris for the win, you ran away and gave it a makeover." He stated as Ripper glared angrily at her. "Not to mention you spent over half the challenge chasing Damien with a jackhammer!"
CONFESSIONAL: LAUREN
"I had to do something!" She said with a shrug. "She looked dead..."
"Alright, it is time to vote!" Chris announced as everyone left to do their voting confessionals.
Lauren meanwhile turned around and whispered to Priya. "Ripper's a jerk. You didn't deserve that. I'll be voting for him. Friend?"
She reached out her arm to which Priya reluctantly shook on it.
CONFESSIONAL: PRIYA
"Well we lost the challenge but I gained a terrifying friend!" Priya said, trying to look on the bright side but still looked slightly startled. "Cool..."
CONFESSIONAL: MILLIE
"This vote was really hard. On one hand, what Ripper did to Priya was messed up." Millie said, still angry at him. "But if he leaves now, I lose a great source of research and I am this close to finishing my essay!"
Everyone had finished casting their votes and were now waiting nervously for the results. "You all know the deal. If you get a marshmallow, you're still in the game! The following players are safe..."
"Chase."
"Millie."
"Priya."
"Cassidy."
"And Zee."
The five shown were all seen with marshmallows. "You are all safe. The bottom 3. Lauren, Ripper, Damien. One of you will be going home. Damien, I'm sorry but..."
"Yes, Yes, Yes!" Damien anticipated with his fingers crossed. "I'm going home, baby!"
"You're safe!" Chris declared. "You only got one vote and we all know it was yours."
Damien felt deflated as the marshmallow bounced off him. The remaining two campers looked back at the last marshmallow. "And the person going home tonight with 4 votes against is..."

"Lauren!"
Lauren's smile melted from her face as Ripper laughed, catching the final marshmallow yet again. "Haha, yeah! Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!"
Priya was visibly livid, glaring at him as he popped the snack in his mouth. He glanced at Lauren with a smile. "I guess Scary Girl is now Scary Gone!"
"Grr..." Lauren snarled while standing up. "I WILL HAVE VENGENCE ON THOSE WHO BETRAYED ME! YEARS FROM NOW WHEN YOU'VE LONG FORGOTTEN WHO I AM, I WILL FIND YOU AND MAKE YOU WISH YOU'D NEVER BEEN BORN!"
Everyone moved away from her during her speech but afterwards she merely skipped off, yelling "Bye!"
"Well, she took that better than I thought she would!" Chris told his fellow co-host.
"I can't believe they voted for her." Priya felt speechless at the outcome as Millie looked down on the floor. "After what Ripper did to me?"
"Shocking." Was all Millie could say as Cassidy looked over to her with a suspicious look.
"I'm confused though. How did she get 4 votes when you, me, Cassidy and Lauren voted for Ripper?" Priya asked, noticing that the math doesn't add up.
"Who knows what Lauren did?" Millie asked rhetorically. "I mean she did just threaten all of us. *Sigh* I guess some people just don't vote with their conscience."
"No, I guess they don't." Cassidy added, shooting a glare at Millie who appeared both confused and nervous.
"I voted for myself." Damien chimed in.
"We know." The trio all confirmed.
Lauren walked down the dock of shame, still appearing happy despite the events. "I didn't win but I met a lot of people and I know their names. Which is good if you ever need an organ." She said eerily. Lauren arrived at the end and pulled out an umbrella for the drone to whisk her away with.
"Bye! Don't forget to not write!" Chris waved her off as Chef walked behind him with news.
"She, uh..." He started, however Chris already got an idea.
"She took the skull?" Chris asked.
"She took the skull." Chef confirmed.
"It's fine, she'll give it a good home. Just one less thing on the Total Drama Auction. Who's skull will be going home next? Will Damien be able to convince his team it'll be his? Will Millie's guilt beat her research and come clean? Will Raj figure out his feelings for Bowie? And what'll happen between Emma, Chase and Harvey? Can't be Total Drama without a love triangle, that's for sure. But you can only find out here, on Total Drama Island!"
VOTES.

18TH - CALEB
17TH - AXEL
16TH - NICHELLE
15TH - LAUREN
Yeah so far it's been some slight changes here and there but mostly the same outcome. Really I think these first four episodes were pretty flawless and just needed more adding on to them rather than taking stuff out.
Just a heads up though, the challenge for next episode will be changed as I don't think anyone including myself enjoyed the Jurassic Fart challenge. So it'll be something a little more on the fun side that'll help push the season forward.
Thanks again to anyone and everyone who has stayed interested through out and I'm looking forward to sharing the next episode with you. Until next time, see you whenever!
