Episode 23! The last episode had this story hit 300 reviews, thank you all for that. Keep them coming, my dopamine rush is crazy for each review lol. Anyways, time to respond the last episode.
CMC- Yeah, my team names are far from creative lol. Glad you liked the challenge
TheBigOrangeLiam- I believe this is your first review, so hi! Anyways about the injury logic, I try to keep the insane slapstick to a minimum. It might disappear entirely after this so any injury can fully be taken seriously, but who knows. I love how Amy still gets slandered 10 episodes after her elimination. Thanks for considering this one of your favs, when people say stuff like that I always do a double take because it still somewhat shocks me to hear lol
Joel Connell- We'll see if Cody, Shawn, and Sammy apply your strategies. Regarding Zeke's elim, I did assume that people thought he would make it further. As for Loser's Lounge, I should've done it a while ago but I like writing comp episodes a lot more so I've been delaying it a tad.
Jaron58- We stan the drama
Metal Face- I know you like Bridgette x Ezekiel, but there were no teases to that happening all season I fear. Sorry for the sad chapter ending
myfacewhen- Roasted
Lacueva- When I was writing, I realized that Sammy was a complete menace this challenge lol. Probs my fav episode I've written for her so far.
Mortal01- When this season ends, I better see that tierlist! I hope I can continue this hype train. HELP YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT JACQUES but I'm too lazy to edit so lol. Oh barbecue sauce! I like how stupid that Millie vote is, literally no one should be this hung up about it but everyone is. The Carrie crush sucked. Tbh I hate when a character does something negative gets backlash. Geoff and Leshawna weren't derailed in TDA, but people throw out that term so loosely. Staci being the comic relief is iconic. I should've made a Tyler chicken joke, missed opportunity on my part. Jen slander help.
Recap
"Last time on Total Drama Ultimate… the teams were dissolved and we got new ones! On the Ruby Team, Cody and Lightning had a bonding moment. B and Dawn had some tension, while Raj and Tyler didn't seem too pleased with Josee after her roasts a few days prior. On the Sapphire Team, there was ex drama with Chase and Emma, but at least she got along with Wayne. Jen and Justin have begun a war of throwing each other under the bus. On Emerald, the big story was the distaste towards Duncan. Harold also began to annoy people, as his fun facts weren't so fun to Junior. On Amethyst, Operation: TYTO and the former Red Team members have begun recruiting people. On Amber, Mary sought out an ally in Staci. Bowie and Noah agreed to put their differences aside to work together, while Sierra and Ryan Eva threw each other under the bus. On Gold, some bonds formed, notably the Taylor Anne Maria Dakota connection. In the challenge, we had a fun game of Truth or Dare. Duncan and Sammy kissed, Courtney asked Ezekiel to act feral, and tons of more drama happened. In the end, the Amber and Gold teams lost. Ryan was taken out to weaken Eva on Amber, while an expanded Queen's Quest alliance formed on Gold, adding Dakota, Blaineley, Sadie, and Jacques, which spelled doom for one Ezekiel. 52 remain, who will go home on this episode of Total Drama Ultimate?"
Intro
Day 43
Cut to Ruby Team
We see the Ruby Team walking in the chicken nugget factory. Dawn has a blindfold on and is covering her ears so she can't see or hear anything that's going on. No one really cares about the tour they're being given, as they just want the chicken nuggets they'll get at the end of it.
The camera pans over to Alejandro and Josee, who are in conversation regarding the last challenge. "I'm so glad we won gold, even if this is our reward. Thanks for motivating me to do the box dare, I guess." Josee says.
"No problem… but speaking of problems, we do have one. Jacques voted out Heather, and we need to find out the reason why." Alejandro says with a tone of vengeance clear in his voice.
"I'm not shocked that Jacques would mess things up." Josee rolls her eyes. "But we're in an even worse situation because the team doesn't exactly like me. I tried to talk to Tyler and Raj, but I'm pretty sure that they're still upset about the whole Try Not To Cry challenge incident."
"It's been days, they should be over it by now." Alejandro replies.
"Exactly! Aren't you friends with Tyler? Can't you get him to realize that he's being dramatic?" Josee asks.
"I wouldn't call us friends, we haven't spoken much since World Tour." Alejandro answers, causing Josee to groan.
"Urgh, this sucks!"
"I know, but we can't get sloppy. Let's just try to find cracks."
Confessional: Josee
"This loss of control is making me mad…" Josee takes deep breaths, trying not to break something.
Conf end
Confessional: Alejandro
"Tyler was easy to manipulate back then, but I doubt it would be the same today. He has to have watched World Tour."
Conf end
Elsewhere, we see Sugar and B standing next to each other. "This chicken nugget factory is pretty darn neat, huh?"
B gives a thumbs up, though Sugar doesn't see this.
"I said this chicken nugget factory is pretty darn neat, huh?"
B gives another thumbs up, this time right in Sugar's face.
"GET YOUR HAND OUT OF MY FACE AND ANSWER THE QUESTION!"
B looks visibly irritated at this point since Sugar isn't getting it.
"You're so rude, I was just trying to talk and you're ignoring me!"
B walks away in irritation. Tyler walks up to Sugar. "B doesn't talk, he wasn't trying to rude."
Sugar gasps. "So he thinks he's better than the rest of us by not talking? That ain't right!"
Tyler sighs. "No, that's not it. Try to be a little more understanding-"
"Please don't give me a 'try to be nice' speech, I know not to trust those!"
With that, Sugar walks off.
Confessional: Sugar
Sugar rolls her eyes. "Why do people always try to be nice or whatever? My mama always taught me that kindness is just a guise for betrayal in pageant shows, and I can't argue with that!"
Conf end
Confessional: Tyler
"What is she talking about? I was just trying to ask her to be nice, there was nothing untrustworthy about it."
Conf end
We see Lightning, Raj, and Cody talking. "Couldn't we go to a steak factory instead or something? Chicken nuggets are disgusting." Lightning grimaces while looking around.
"Chicken nuggets aren't bad, I eat them at McDonalds!" Cody replies.
Lightning scoffs. "McDonalds? You aren't serious. Lightning would never eat there, I'd look like Sugar if I did!"
Sugar overhears that. "Then go eat there and look pretty like me!"
Lightning ignores this, but Raj has some input. "I try not to eat too much unhealthy food, but it's not like Cody looks like a McDonalds regular."
"He looks like an eating disorder rehab center regular." Lightning comments. Cody frowns. Lightning notices this. "I'm not trying to be sha-rude, I just take my strength seriously. You look unhealthy after barely eating the past six weeks, Lightning is concerned for you!"
"Well… he does have a point." Raj admits while looking at Cody. "You were small at the beginning, but you've lost a lot of weight. I can see the bones sticking out of your shirt."
Cody looks down and sees that the jocks are right. "Well, I've always been naturally thin… and other than candy and some fast food, I don't really eat that much, so I guess it was expected that this would happen."
"I'll make sure they get you a ton of chicken nuggets today, you need to be strong for the challenges!" Lightning vows.
"We'll beat them up if they don't!" Raj agrees violently.
"Thanks guys." Cody smiles.
Confessional: Cody
"I'm usually good at masking pain, so it's why I don't really bring up how hungry I've been, but I've been STARVING here. If Raj and Lightning want to help me, then by all means!"
Conf end
Confessional: Raj
"We need a BIG Cody! He's going to die of starvation if we don't intervene, we will force feed him all the chicken nuggets in the world!"
Conf end
Confessional: Lightning
"Cody… that dude is pathetic in a way, but he also seems like he can be worked on."
Conf end
We see B and a blindfoldless Dawn together, B clearly being much more comfortable around the peaceful Dawn than the annoying Sugar. He won't be comfortable for too long as Dawn bluntly states. "I saw you panic when Millie asked Ezekiel that question, I know you voted for her to cause drama."
B stops walking and gives Dawn a look that she can't pinpoint the emotion in.
"Why did you lie?"
B makes some hand motions.
"It was to keep us safe? I guess I can understand, but I'm just kind of surprised that you would do that."
B makes another hand motion.
"I can forgive you as it wasn't a big deal, I just wanted to know who was behind it."
Confessional: Dawn
"I'm glad he admitted to it, but the fact that he was lying and causing all this chaos does concern me. He didn't act like that in Revenge."
Conf end
Confessional: B
B has an annoyed face and does the cutting throat motion.
Conf end
Cut to Amber Team
We see Izzy, Eva, and Noah standing together by the lake. "Why couldn't you guys vote for Sierra? We only needed to flip one more person and we would have had a majority!" Eva questions angrily.
"Ryan seems boring!" Izzy replies earnestly, getting an annoyed glance from Eva.
"I just heard that everyone else was against him, I had to jump on the train that saved me." Noah shrugs.
"No one was even targeting you, there wasn't a train to jump on." Eva rolls her eyes.
"Well, sorry." Noah drawls. "I probably won't vote for you next time, so there's that."
"Probably?" Eva raises her unibrow.
Izzy chuckles at this interaction.
Confessional: Izzy
"I love those two, they're funny!"
Conf end
Confessional: Noah
"I mean, I'm not going to just restrict myself from voting Eva out, especially since she's a target."
Conf end
Confessional: Eva
"It seems that I can't trust anyone here… about what I expected, but it still sucks."
Conf end
We cut to Bowie and Mary picking blueberries together. "So, our idea went through." Mary states.
"I know that, I saw the votes." Bowie replies.
"I was just trying to start a discussion." Mary responds. "How did your conversation with Noah go? Was he hesitant to vote for Ryan?"
"I feel like he wanted Sierra, but he didn't say anything." Bowie answers.
"Fascinating."
"Is it?"
"Nope, but I wanted to say something. Anyways, we need to take out one of the 'Team E-Scope' members next, three out of eight is a dangerous number if gone unchecked." Mary says.
"Not sure why my team in Rematch didn't realize that." Bowie comments, referring to himself and the Hockey Bros being an obvious trio that went unchecked.
"I don't know how they didn't, I was groaning at the tv when no one made the obvious move to flip." Mary replies. "That team didn't seem so good anyways. If I was stuck with Ripper and Chase, my cerebral cortex's cellular capacity would plummet at an alarming rate, so I'm glad I'm not with them."
"Girl, what the fuck did you just say?"
Mary sighs. "I'd get dumber by being around Ripper and Chase."
"Ohhhh… yeah, I feel dumber than I did a few years ago." Bowie says.
"Not surprised given your company outside the show…" Mary mutters quietly.
"What?"
"What?"
"So anyways…" Bowie says. "We're on the same page?"
"Indeed we are."
Confessional: Mary
"I fear that I'm stuck with a ton of loony or sassy personalities. Izzy, Staci, Sierra, and Bowie? Yeesh."
Conf end
Confessional: Bowie
"I feel like Mary's mindset is scarily similar to mine… we just act completely differently as personalities though."
Conf end
Elsewhere, we see Staci and Sierra talking while Sky is trying to build a fire. "Nice technique, Sky." Sierra breaks the conversation to praise Sky. Sky doesn't respond, as she's too focused on the fire.
"I'm so glad we have a flint. My-" Staci starts.
"Great great great great uncle Kevin invented flint?" Sierra cuts off.
"Exactly! And before him, people had-"
"To use sticks, and they would fail for hours?"
"Omg, how did you know?" Staci questions.
"How would I NOT know your family history? I studied your family tree and learned about what all of them invented." Sierra says. Sky wants to roll her eyes at this.
"Ok, let's play a game! I'll mention a family member, you say what they invented."
"LET'S DO IT!"
"Great great great cousin Velma." Staci says.
"She invented high heels."
"Correct! Great great great great great great grandma Molly."
"She invented shoes."
"Correct! Wow, you really are good at this!" Staci smiles.
"I told you I was, a total drama superfan never lies!" Sierra boasts.
Confessional: Sky
"Who would willingly study Staci's family tree?"
Conf end
Confessional: Sierra
"Who wouldn't study Staci's family tree? I feel kind of bad for getting caught up in the drama with Eva and Ryan, I could've been talking to her the past few days!"
Conf end
Confessional: Staci
"Wow, Sierra doesn't seem annoyed about my family history! Usually people are, like that brat Taylor, haha!"
Conf end
Cut to Gold Team
Scott and Trent give Jacques an annoyed look as he walks by with water. Jacques notices this and doesn't remain silent. "What's your problem, stop glaring at me!"
"Why didn't you just tell us to vote for Ezekiel?" Scott questions.
"You wanted a guys alliance… and truthfully, I did too. None of the girls would flip, so I just cut my losses and voted for Ezekiel." Jacques says before walking off.
Confessional: Jacques
"Pfft, I won't get slandered for that."
Conf end
Trent and Scott turn towards each other.
"You've been in this situation before, haven't you?" Scott asks.
Trent nods. "It's so frustrating, I've spent basically the whole game having my fate in the hands of Taylor and Anne Maria. I thought the new phase would stop that, but nope. We can work together to try and get out of this though, right?"
"Of course."
Confessional: Scott
"I don't care at all about Trent, this won't be the same situation as it was with Courtney back on the Red Team."
Conf end
Confessional: Trent
"I wish I could gain any traction, but it feels like I'm on a loop of running into a brick wall over and over and over again."
Conf end
Elsewhere, Taylor is sitting down and looking at her nails. "Ugh, I wish I had a nail file. My nails are looking worse than mom's do." That sentence makes her think about her mother, who has been gone for a while at this point. Does she regret voting her out… nope. "Remember Taylor, win so you don't have to rely on that stupid allowance."
"EEK HI!" a shrill voice screams. Taylor covers her ears while having an annoyed look on her face. Sadie walks up to her. "How are you?"
"I was doing good until you made my ears bleed." Taylor complains.
"Excuse me?"
"I was doing good until you made my ears bleed." Taylor repeats.
"Well, that's just rude." Sadie glares.
"It's the truth, stop shrieking like a banshee." Taylor glares back before making her exit.
Confessional: Sadie
"Ugh Taylor, you do NOT want to be on my shit list."
Conf end
Confessional: Taylor
"Remember what I said last night about the expanded Queen's Quest? Yeah, scratch that, I don't want Sadie in it. Blaineley is an old hag and all, but at least she doesn't say EEK all the time. Maybe I could get Anne Maria and Dakota to help me blindside Sadie."
Conf end
We see Dakota and Anne Maria talking about fashion. "Do you remember that dress Lindsay wore in the world's top model competition last year?" Dakota questions.
"How can I not remember that? Say what you will about that girl's brain-"
"Or lack of one." Blaineley, who is sitting nearby, inputs.
Anne Maria laughs. "True! But say what you will about her, that woman knows how to dress."
"Or her agents tell her what to wear. Have you seen World Tour? I doubt she can come up with great fashion on her own, as much as I stan for her." Dakota says.
"You're talking about fashion?" Blaineley asks, now more interested in the conversation.
"For sure! What's your favorite clothing piece?" Dakota questions.
"Belle bottom jeans, they always look great!" Blaineley says.
Dakota and Anne Maria look at each other before bursting out laughing.
"Belle bottom jeans? In 2026? You aren't serious, are you?" Anne Maria questions while laughing.
"Of course I'm serious." Blaineley replies. The laughter increases.
Confessional: Dakota and Anne Maria
"Like not to be rude, but belle bottom jeans are sooooo yesterday's news." Dakota says.
"Yeah, Jen would've put Blaineley in her place if she was here." Anne Maria adds. "Blaineley isn't awful, but we don't really vibe with her, she's like 500 years older than us."
"TRUE."
Conf end
Confessional: Blaineley
"Ugh, disrespecting the belle bottom jeans should be a crime."
Conf end
Cut to Amethyst Team
We see Scarlett looking at leaves. "That seems like poison ivy…" she mutters to herself. "A bit of a safety hazard to put it here, there are too many stupid people for nothing to go wrong. Oh well, not my problem."
She stands up and turns around to see MK. "Hi." the smaller woman greets.
"Hi." Scarlett replies back.
"I heard what you said about stupid people, and I agree with everything you said." MK says.
"Thanks, your approval makes me so happy." Scarlett sarcastically replies.
MK rolls her eyes. "Anyways… I want to talk to you. We are the two smartest girls on the team, I'm sure you're aware."
Confessional: Scarlett
"This is literally the conversation I had with Emma back on the Pink Team. She's going to offer an alliance, and I'm going to say yes because of course I will."
Conf end
"We should work together." MK finishes.
"Makes sense, I'm 100% on board." Scarlett extends a hand. MK shakes it. "We need five for a majority though, do you have other people?"
"I have some in mind…"
Confessional: MK
"Ba-boosh, got another recruit!"
Conf end
Confessional: Scarlett
Scarlett shakes her head after hearing MK's allies. "How does she tolerate Dwayne?"
Conf end
"So, you've been working with MK?" Chet questions just outside of the main campground. He was recommended by MK to go talk to Dwayne, so that's what he's doing.
"I have, we got Ella out, so we mean business!" Dwayne replies.
"Yes, getting Ella out is SERIOUS." Chet says without an iota of genuineness. "Anyways, welcome to Operation: TYTO!"
"Operation what now?" Dwayne responds in confusion.
"Operation: Take Yellow Team Out." Chet elaborates. "The Yellow Team has been responsible for a lot of people losing the people closest to them, MK and I included. The goal of this alliance is to eradicate the Yellow Team members, and that starts with Crimson. Do you think you're up to the task?"
Dwayne laughs. "Haha, you bet I am!"
Confessional: Dwayne
"I have no beef at all with the Yellow Team, but the alliance name sounds important, so I'm cool with this!"
Conf end
As the duo head into camp, they see Jo, Brick, Bridgette, Courtney, and Crimson. "Ok, so let's lock it in. The five of us will work together, any objections?" Courtney asks. No one objects. "Alright, let's go before anyone gets suspicious."
The group splits into two groups. Jo and Brick head one direction, while Bridgette, Courtney, and Crimson head the other.
Confessional: Chet
Chet growls. "That is not good, how dare they do that!"
Conf end
Confessional: Brick
"While I don't like the idea of these majority alliances, I had to agree since Courtney and Bridgette probably are still upset at my flips."
Conf end
Confessional: Jo
"Myself, Crimson, Brick, Courtney, and Bridgette are now a thing… I miss my old Lime Team alliance where I was the center of everything. But I know what I want to do with this now." Jo says while pulling out her mystery advantage.
Conf end
We see Crimson, Courtney, and Bridgette walking off together. "Why did you walk in the same direction as me?" Crimson asks.
"I… actually don't know." Bridgette admits.
"Yeah, let's go somewhere else." Courtney says, pulling herself and Bridgette away.
Confessional: Crimson
"Good choice…"
Conf end
"Do you like that alliance?" Bridgette asks once she and Courtney are alone.
"I do, there shouldn't be any problems." Courtney says.
"Well, that's good."
…
"Yeah."
Confessional: Bridgette and Courtney
"Crimson is easy to manipulate, the only real worry is Jo, and I doubt she'd flip on the first vote on this team." Courtney says.
"Oh no…"
"What?"
"Now that you said that, something will go wrong."
Conf end
Cut to Sapphire Team
A game of chicken is about to commence. Wayne and Emma (Emma on Wayne's shoulders) vs MacArthur and Justin (Justin on MacArthur's shoulders). DJ is spectating while providing basic commentary.
"First duo to fall over loses! Is everybody ready?"
"HELL YEAH!" MacArthur shouts.
"You're going DOWN!" Emma vows.
"Let's humble these newgens!" Justin encourages MacArthur.
"You two are all bark, no bite! Let's get this game started, and we'll see who'll REALLY get humbled!" Wayne says.
"This game staaaaarts… NOW!" DJ announces.
Wayne and MacArthur charge towards one another, with Emma and Justin having their arms extended, ready to fight. Justin swings first, punching Emma in the face.
"THAT'S A FOUL!" Emma yells.
"Everything goes, blondie!" Justin retorts.
Below them, MacArthur and Wayne are bumping shoulder to shoulder, trying to shove one another to make them lose their balance.
"This game is rigged, ey! You're too heavy to knock over!" Wayne complains.
"WHAT did you just call me!?" MacArthur roars.
"I didn't mean it like that, I-"
"Justin, hold on tight! This game ends NOW!" MacArthur proclaims.
"Oh dear god." Justin worries.
MacArthur suddenly lunges towards Wayne and Emma. She attempts to elbow Wayne right in the abs, but he narrowly dodges her attack.
"Wayne dodges MacArthur's attack!" DJ states.
"Na na na boo boo!" Wayne mocks. This fuels MacArthur's rage.
"Let me handle the next attack." Justin says.
"Fine." MacArthur replies.
Emma and Justin stare down one another, their eyebrows furrowed and jaws clenched.
"This game is intense!" DJ commentates. "Who will attack next?"
Suddenly, Emma and Justin begin shoving one another's shoulders, attempting to push the other off of their partner.
"C'mon Em, knock him down!" Wayne cheers.
"JUSTIN! JUSTIN! JUSTIN!" MacArthur chants.
Emma realizes that her current strategy isn't working, so she needs to make a change. She removes one of her hands from Justin's shoulder and scratches his face. "AHHHH, MY FACE!" Justin cries. Once he's distracted, Emma lands one final blow that knocks Justin off of MacArthur's shoulders.
"Wayne and Emma win!" DJ announces.
"YOU LET ME DOWN!" MacArthur roars. She angrily swims out of the water. Justin follows behind, using one hand to cover the part of his face that was scratched.
Emma gets off of Wayne's shoulders.
"I can't believe we won!" Emma says while hugging Wayne.
Wayne suddenly gets nervous, but doesn't realize why. He pulls out of the hug and recoups himself.
"All thanks to you! You're a chicken god! Haha, chicken god. That sounds funny!" Wayne laughs.
"Give yourself a pat on the back too! If you didn't keep a strong grip on my legs, I would've immediately fallen."
Wayne actually gives himself a pat on the back, causing Emma to giggle.
Confessional: Emma23
"We won that! That was a pretty fun game."
Conf end
Confessional: Wayne
"We made for a great team…" Wayne's smile lingers.
Conf end
Confessional: Justin
"Does it look bad?" Justin asks the viewers. He takes his hand off of his face. "I'M HIDEOUS!"
There are no scratch marks on his face or anything, Justin is being dramatic.
Conf end
Confessional: DJ
"I'm never gonna play chicken with these guys, they get NASTY."
Conf end
Confessional: MacArthur
"Stupid Justin. As a cadet, I've been through a lot worse than some little scratches, and I finished my job!"
Conf end
We see Chase looking into the clear lake water. He's on the opposite side of the lake as the water game is going on. He is checking out his reflection in the least shocking thing you've ever heard. "Man, my hair STILL looks sick after all this time!"
"Yeah dude, it totally does!" a voice says. Chase turns around to see Jen.
"Wow, thanks! You know what you're talking about." Chase runs his hand through his hair.
"Yeah bro, of course I do." Jen replies.
Confessional: Jen
"Like I said, since Justin and MacArthur are targeting me, I need to make some friends. Chase seems dumb, so he's probably a good option. The downside though is that we are different personality wise, so I have to convert to his style of talking, which is NOT giving."
Conf end
"So like, I watched your YouTube videos before you got canceled, dude." Jen informs.
"What was your favorite video?" Chase asks.
"Ummmmm…." Jen thinks worriedly. She never actually watched his videos, so she doesn't have a real answer. "All of them, every video you made was epic!"
"Hm…"
Jen looks worried her lie will be caught.
"That's true!" Chase says.
Confessional: Chase
"I had no idea Jen watched my videos, meeting fans is cool. Too bad we're not in the real world, I could've charged 1000 dollars for an autograph!" Chase smirks. He takes a moment to think before sighing.
Conf end
Millie and Kitty are sitting around at camp. Millie wants to talk to Kitty, but because she's an introverted, socially awkward queen, she hasn't built up the courage to yet. Kitty notices that Millie keeps glancing at her, and picks up on the social cue that she wants to chat.
"Hey!" Kitty blurts out.
"Uh, hi!" Millie replies seconds later, not expecting Kitty to start talking to her.
"You're one of Emma's friends, right?" Kitty asks.
"Uh no."
"Really? But you both made it to the final five in the same season!"
"Well yes, but we still never interacted with one another."
"HOW?" Kitty raises her voice, being genuinely shocked. "During my season, I had at least one or two conversations with everyone in the final five."
"You must be an extravert." Millie says. "It's hard for me to make friends. The only people I bonded with in my two seasons were Priya and Damien."
"Have you made any new friends this season?" Kitty wonders.
"Sort of DJ? We've had our rocky moments though. Now that I think about it, I've had drama with all of my friends on at least one occasion." Millie frowns, now feeling bad about herself.
"Don't be upset, it's normal for friends to go through tough times! One time, I stopped being friends with someone for six years because of a silly lie she told me."
"I guess that's one thing I'm better at when it comes to friendship. We get over stuff within a day!" Millie refers to the notebook and four point slide incidents.
"Lucky!"
"Not as lucky as having more than three friends." Millie quietly laughs, as if being embarrassed with that fact.
"How about we increase that number to four?" Kitty offers. "I'll gladly be your friend!"
Mille grins. "You mean it?"
"No, I'm lying and actually think you suck."
"Oh-"
"I'm joking."
...
The duo laugh.
Confessional: Millie
"Kitty is super nice! It's rare that I get along with someone in this game. Typically, half the people on my team hate me. Cough cough Team Rat Face cough cough Orange Team."
Conf end
Confessional: Kitty
"I'm a social butterfly, the concept of not easily making friends is foreign to me. If someone wants a friend, I'd gladly be there for them… oh no, now my dms on social media will get flooded!"
Conf end
Cut to Emerald Team
We see the team in camp. "Shawn and I are going hunting." Nichelle announces. "Axel, I remember you being a good hunter. Wanna come with?"
"You're asking Axel and not me?" Harold bafflingly questions. "I'll have you know that I was the best boy scout my troop has ever seen!"
"I don't care." Nichelle replies.
"Yeah, I'm still better than you." Axel makes it clear. "I'll go with you guys."
"Can I come too?" Sammy requests.
"Four might be too many people." Nichelle says. "Too many of us would scare off animals."
Sammy frowns. "Are you sure?"
"She's right." Shawn states. "Maybe you can come with us tomorrow? Anyways, let's go."
The trio make their exit. Leshawna taps Sammy on the shoulder. "Tammy and I are going to get berries, I remember you being a good forager. Wanna come with?"
Sammy smiles. "Sure!"
That trio also makes their exit, leaving just Duncan, Junior, and Harold. Junior notices that Duncan has the flint next to him while making a carving with the machete. He walks up to him. "Hey, what are you doing?"
"Carving something." Duncan answers.
"What is it?"
Duncan flashes the piece of wood. Junior grimaces. "It looks ugly."
"It's supposed to be Chris." Duncan responds.
"Oh… well in that case, you're doing a perfect job at recreating him!" Junior says, getting a laugh out of Duncan.
"I know, it takes a lot of effort to recreate all the stupid features on his face." Duncan states.
"Why are you making a carving of him though?" Junior questions.
"Just watch." Duncan says. Duncan grabs the flint and begins striking it on the wood. After a few moments, the Chris head is on fire. Junior looks impressed.
"I wish I could make carvings and do that, that seems like a lot of fun." Junior comments.
"Well, I can teach you. The more images of Chris burning, the better in my books."
"You shouldn't be teaching him to do bad stuff like that." Harold reprimands. "Junior's a good kid, you shouldn't corrupt him."
"Dude, I'm not five years old. I can make decisions for myself." Junior counters. "Besides, it's just carving wood and burning it, not robbing a bank."
"I could teach you that if you want." Duncan laughs.
"GOSH Duncan, stop." Harold interrupts.
"Can you stop being dramatic for two seconds?" Duncan requests with an annoyed look. "You're always up in my grill about everything."
"You're the one who was up in MY grill!"
"Whatever." Duncan shrugs off. "Come on, Junior."
Confessional: Junior
"Duncan seems a lot cooler than Harold does, that's for sure."
Conf end
Confessional: Harold
"Duncan is just going to use him, I can tell."
Conf end
Confessional: Duncan
"Junior is making the correct choice by siding with me… he's a rare person on this team who doesn't hate me, that makes it even better."
Conf end
We see Axel, Nichelle, and Shawn talking as they get ready to hunt. "Axel, I'm so glad we're on the same team." Shawn says.
"Likewise." Axel smiles. "Finally, someone else who understands the threat of the zombie apocalypse."
"I know, right? Everyone acts like we're the crazy ones, they're going to regret their lack of concern when they finally arrive." Shawn replies.
"Yeah, we totally will." Nichelle sarcastically inputs. "Anyways Axel, it feels like we haven't talked in years!"
"That's because we haven't in years… or ever, for that matter. I barely remember talking to you in Rematch, even when we were on the same team." Axel says.
"Oh… right. I spoke to Damien twice and complained about Hollywood, I had no social skills back then." Nichelle responds.
"Neither did I… I still really don't, if it wasn't for this competition I'd still barely talk to anyone." Axel admits.
"Relatable." Shawn says.
"Anyways, we have a Rat Face and zombie connection, so why don't we form a trio?" Nichelle offers.
Axel nods. "I'd be on board."
"Alright!" Shawn agrees.
Confessional: Nichelle
"I'm in an alliance with two hunting zombie nuts, how lovely. I won't rule out becoming friends with Axel, I wouldn't have expected to become friends with Shawn when this began."
Conf end
Confessional: Shawn
"Axel getting on my team was very exciting. From the moment I watched her first season, she was one of my favorites. I feel VERY safe if the zombies arrive."
Conf end
Confessional: Axel
"I needed some people on my side after how the Gray Team ended… I found the right people."
Conf end
We see Leshawna, Tammy, and Sammy picking berries. "How are you holding up after the last challenge?" Leshawna questions Sammy.
"Fine."
"You're not more upset about having to kiss Duncan?" Tammy asks.
"Well, I'd rather not think about that." Sammy glares.
"Sorry…" Tammy apologizes.
"It's fine, I got my revenge on Anne Maria. Her comments about tasting Amy was just… ew!" Sammy shudders at the memory.
"That girl is just straight up nasty for that. I didn't like those dares anyways. Kissing challenges? If we were going to do that, just do spin the bottle." Leshawna says.
"Careful, Chris might hear you and make it happen." Tammy warns.
"True that."
"Anyways… about Duncan, how would you guys feel about getting rid of him?" Sammy asks.
"I don't like him, I never have. I'm in." Leshawna states.
"Didn't you want him in an alliance back in TDA, wouldn't that means you liked him to some extent-"
"That doesn't count." Leshawna cuts off.
"Alrighty." Tammy nods. "But I don't know Duncan very well, but he seems like the type to hate me for… well, being myself. I wouldn't mind voting for him."
"Thanks." Sammy smiles.
Confessional: Sammy
"I'm glad that everyone else seems on board with voting out Duncan."
Conf end
Confessional: Leshawna
"If there is a kissing challenge, I'm truly sorry."
Conf end
Confessional: Tammy
"Well, all this interpersonal conflict is working out for me! No one wants me out."
Conf end
Day 44
We cut to Chris standing on the beach. Over the ocean, there is a big platform with a red, blue, green, and yellow pad on each corner. The Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Amethyst teams walk in and make their way to their team mats. We see the Amber Team walk in. "Getting your first look at the new Amber Team… Ryan voted out at the last elimination."
Confessional: Jo
"Good, Ryan was an enemy."
Conf end
Confessional: Chet
"NOOOOOOOO! An Operation: TYTO member is down, this is bad!"
Conf end
Once the Amber Team is settled in, the Gold Team walks in. "Getting your first look at the new Gold Team… Ezekiel voted out at the last elimination."
Dawn has a sad look on her face.
Confessional: Dawn
"Ezekiel's gone? I thought he was doing socially well on our team, I guess he just didn't fit in very well on his new team. I feel really bad for him…"
Conf end
"Now that everyone is here, we can get started on the next challenge! And this is a big one, as victory will guarantee you a spot in the final 50. And who wouldn't want to make it to the halfway mark of this game? Anyways, your challenge is simple. You will all be placed on that platform above the water." Chris points towards it. "Each round, you will have to choose a corner to go to. At random, one of the corner pads will tip over, causing everyone on it to fall in the water. If you fall in the water, you are out of the challenge. The first two teams to lose all of their members will be up for elimination and will visit me later tonight."
Mary looks agitated. "Erm, Chris?"
Chris sighs. "Yes?"
"This is a luck based challenge, I feel like for such an important challenge, there should be skill based variables."
"Erm, Mary?"
"Yes?"
"Please stop being the living embodiment of the nerd emoji." Chris says. Mary glares at him as Chris coughs. "Anyways, let's get started."
Confessional: Mary
"Should Chris be arrested for the crime of this challenge? 100%."
Conf end
We cut to see the whole cast on the platform. "You have two minutes to make your first move, go!"
The camera pans over to the Ruby Team. "Guys, I have an idea!" Tyler eagerly says.
"What is it?" Josee questions.
"What if we all go on the same corner, it'd show team unity!" Tyler suggests.
"Woah, great idea!" Raj agrees.
"If the corner we all go on is picked, we'd automatically lose." Alejandro dryly points out, clearly irritated at the stupid suggestion.
"Oh right, bummer." Raj frowns.
"Let's all split up." Dawn suggests. Everyone does just that.
We cut elsewhere to Harold going to the yellow corner. Duncan is following him. "GOSH, can't you go somewhere else instead of just following me around?" Harold turns around angrily.
"Harold, there are only four spots to go to." Duncan annoyedly replies.

"Haha, you thought I wouldn't do the same color twice in a row? Think again! Anyways, that means that only two members are left on both the Ruby and Gold teams." Chris states. "Four are left on Sapphire and Emerald, it's be a shame if things went wrong for them now!"
"Don't jinx us, Chris." Kitty glares.
"Whatever, it's time for Round 4!"
Everyone picks a platform.
Red: Josee, Wayne, Justin, Kitty, Sammy, Harold, Dwayne, Courtney
Blue: Jo, Sky
Green: Dawn, Chase, Nichelle, Axel, Izzy
Yellow: Noah, Scott, Trent
We cut to Jo and Sky as they're the only ones on the blue platform. "I'm gonna make this quick." Jo says as she takes out her mystery advantage. "Take this."
Sky looks confused as Jo hands her the advantage, as she can't quite tell that it is an advantage. However, she obliges and puts it in her pocket before Chris pipes up again.
Confessional: Sky
"Why would she give me something?" Sky asks out loud as she takes the advantage out of her pocket and begins reading. She smiles at this.
Conf end
Confessional: Jo
"That advantage was a burden, everyone and their mother nearly found it. If someone actually did catch me, they probably would've voted me out. I'd rather have it in the hands of someone I know decently well outside the game. I could've given it to a Lime Team member, but what if they noticed some of my suspicious behavior and connected the dots that I've had it for a while?"
Conf end
We cut back to the platforms. The platform that tips over is…
RED.
The red platformers groan as it tips over for the third time in a row.

5th- Amethyst Team
6th- Ruby Team
We cut back to the beach. "And there you have it! The Amber Team scores first place, so Mary, you had nothing to even complain about. They will get a reward."
"Which is?" Noah cuts in.
"Noah, that's really rude to interrupt." Chris shakes his head.
"No one cares, just tell us what the reward is." Eva interrupts.
"Wow, you're all so impatient. I might just cancel your reward!" Chris says to a chorus of gasps. "Just kidding. We will be reusing an old reward because you're at new camps, and that will be comfort items! It should make camp life a little more bearable. As for the Ruby and Amethyst teams, I doubt today is going to be comfortable for you. Two of you will be going home, you have the night to figure out who that's gonna be."
Confessional: Josee
Josee screams in anger. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS WASN'T EVEN FAIR!"
Conf end
Confessional: Dawn
"Oh no, our first loss! I'm not sure who to target right now."
Conf end
Confessional: B
B seems confident about his target.

Confessional: Lightning
Lightning is seen in a similar state to Josee. "Aw man, our team looks like it might be full of losers!"
Conf end
Confessional: Chet
"Well, it's time to strike!"
Conf end
Confessional: Courtney
"Please, PLEASE let this vote go correctly! Let's not have Brick do something stupid to ruin it, that's all I ask."
Conf end
Cut to Ruby Team
We see Josee and Lightning venting to each other at camp. "I can't stand losing!" Josee says angrily. "The fact that we didn't stand a real chance because Chris decided to do a stupid luck challenge is ridiculous! Chris should get better challenges."
"Lightning agrees! Now we have to vote someone out, and it better not be me! It better be one of the weaklings!" Lightning replies.
"So, Cody or Dawn?" Josee questions, as those two are who come to mind when weaklings were mentioned.
"Sha-yeah!"
"I'm glad we're on the same page here." Josee smirks before walking off.
…
Elsewhere, we see B, Dawn, Tyler, and Raj all together. "So, at first I wasn't sure on who I wanted to vote for, but then I remembered that you two may want Josee gone." Dawn says while looking at Tyler and Raj. "Do you want to take her out?"
Tyler smiles. "I'd be down for it, the things she said about us were uncalled for."
"I'm game." Raj agrees.
"Great!" Dawn smiles. "I should go tell Cody about this."
With that, she walks off.
"You're down too, right B?" Tyler questions. B shakes his head. "Oh?"
B points to Dawn's direction. It takes a moment for Raj and Tyler to understand. "Uh… you want to vote for Dawn?" Raj questions.
B nods.
"Why?"
B flexes then gives a thumbs down.
"Because she's weak physically?"
B gives a thumbs up.
"Well, I guess that does make sense." Tyler says. "We don't want any weak challenge competitors dragging us down this early into the new phase."
B gives a 'will you agree' face.
"I guess we can do that if it makes you comfortable." Tyler states. B gives a thumbs up before walking off.
Confessional: B
B smiles proudly at this, clearly worried about Dawn catching onto his game and being happy to get votes onto her.
Conf end
"...that was odd." Raj notes.
"I know, aren't he and Dawn friends?" Tyler asks.
"I think so, why is he targeting her like that? No offense to Cody, but he's just as weak so I'm not sure why he's singling her out.' Raj questions.
"I don't know… should we tell Dawn about this?" Tyler wonders.
"Maybe, getting the wool pulled over your eyes by someone you thought you could trust sucks." Raj says.
"Pulling the wool over your eyes? What does that even mean?"
"I don't know, I just heard the phrase and thought it sounded funny!"
"It sure does!"
The duo walk off.
…
We see B and Sugar. B is trying to communicate to Sugar, but she isn't noticing it. "Are you just gonna invade my privacy, or will you say something?"
B facepalms and walks off, deciding to find someone else to talk to.
…
We see Dawn walking on her way to find Cody. That gets interrupted as the pair of Tyler and Raj walk in. "Hey Dawn." Tyler waves. Dawn opens her eyes and stands up.
"Hello? Do you need something?" Dawn asks.
The boys look at each other. "We need to tell you something." Raj says.
"What is it?"
"B wants to vote for you." Tyler states.
Dawn's eyes look like they're about to pop out. "Wait, what?"
"Right after you walked away, B told us he didn't want to vote for Josee, he wanted to vote for you." Tyler says.
"I… are you serious?"
"More serious than a hockey puck on August 15th." Raj says. Dawn is confused.
"Not sure if that qualifies as serious, but oh no!" Dawn replies. "I think I know why B is targeting me?"
Tyler raises an eyebrow. "Tell us."
"I think he's been playing a sneakier game in general. He threw a stray vote at one of our eliminations just to cause chaos and drama. I asked him about it yesterday, and now he's targeting me right after. He wants me gone so no one can know the game he's playing." Dawn explains.
"Well… why don't we do something about it?" Raj suggests.
"Woah… that sounds like a lot." Tyler says.
"I know!" Raj agrees.
Confessional: Raj
"I've never been a part of orchestrating a move before, I don't know what to do with myself!"
Conf end
Confessional: Tyler
"Lindsay, as a tribute to you, you can call me Strategic Tyler… HIS hotness. Has a nice ring to it, huh? Ok but for real, I didn't expect this to happen."
Conf end
Confessional: Dawn
Dawn looks stressed. "B and I have been on friendly terms for quite a while, but if his aura is getting more strategic and he's already targeting me… I can't just sit back and let myself go home."
Conf end
"Dawn isn't a bad pitch." Alejandro says when B indicates that she is his target. "I'd be on board with that."
B gives a thumbs up before walking away.
…
We see Cody looking tired while leaning against a tree.
"Hi!" Tyler suddenly jumps towards him.
"Oh barbecue sauce, you scared me!" Cody holds his chest in shock.
"Sorry about that, but as former Purple Team members, we need to discuss the vote!" Tyler says.
"I'm worried, I feel like I will get targeted for being weak." Cody frowns.
"Actually, the targets are B and Dawn." Tyler informs.
"Really?" Cody questions in shock. "Why B?"
"Apparently, he's been an overly strategic backstabber since early on." Tyler says.
"Oh, so try hard?"
"Exactly!"
"Dawn is a scary witch, but I guess that B is a bigger problem." Cody says. "What did he do exactly though to get a backstabber reputation?"
Tyler begins to explain as we cut away.
…
Later on, we see Lightning doing push ups. Cody walks up to him. "Hey Lightning, I-"
"Sit on my back." Lightning interrupts. Cody has a confused look on his face, but he obliges. Lightning effortlessly continues his push ups, even with another human on his back. "What do you need, scrawny boy?"
"...am I in trouble? Just want to check."
"You're a weakling, so probably! You or the creepy girl are donezo if it's up to me." Lightning says.
"I thought you wanted to help me, or whatever." Cody looks unamused.
"Well, you'd have to survive in order for that to happen." Lightning replies.
Cody sighs. "Whatever. Dawn and I aren't the only targets though, B is one too."
"Sha-huh? Why is Beverly a target, did Lightning miss something?" Lightning looks confused.
"Uh, probably. Apparently he's a big strategic threat."
"Do I look like I care about strategy right now?"
"I can't see you, so I don't know if it looks like you care or not." Cody comments. Lightning shifts his weight, causing Cody to tumble to the ground. Cody gasps as Lightning picks him up and pins him to a tree, causing the duo to be face to face. Lightning looks into Cody's eyes.
"Do I look like I care about strategy right now?"
Cody takes a few moments to respond after the initial shock. "Uh… no."
"Okay then! I'll vote for the creepy girl, end of story."
Confessional: Lightning
"B iS sTrAtEgIc." Lightning says in a mock voice. "Who cares? Lightning wants to win! Between the weaklings, at least I talk to Cody, so he can be spared for a round."
Conf end
Confessional: Cody
"Lightning isn't so easily convinced." Cody frowns. "He has problems regarding losing, more than anyone should."
Conf end
We see Alejandro, Josee, and Sugar talking.
"I heard the target is Dawn." Alejandro says.
"Looks like we've been hearing the same thing." Josee replies.
"I haven't heard nothing, Dawn's the first name I heard all day!" Sugar adds. "So, I guess we can vote for her."
"Wait!" the trio hear a voice call out. Because of convenience, of course it's Dawn. "Friends, I need to tell you something-"
"BITCH, WE JUST MET TWO DAYS AGO, WE AIN'T FRIENDS YET." Sugar cuts off loudly.
…
"Enemies, I need to tell you something." Dawn corrects herself.
"Now we're getting into the pageant spirit! What's up, weirdo?"
Dawn ignores the insulting nickname. "You know how B and I were a part of the Orange Team together?"
"No, I totally forgot." Josee says sarcastically. Dawn misses this before continuing.
"He was pretty much running the strategy of that team, and now he's trying to blindside me. I asked him about why he threw a stray vote to cause drama yesterday, and now today he's trying to blindside me." Dawn looks sad. "I need your help to take him out, if you don't do it now, he will fly under the radar all the way to the end of the game."
Josee and Alejandro give each other a happy look while Sugar looks curious.
"I don't like B much anyways, I try to talk to him and he just ignores me! Who does that?" Sugar asks.
"When did that happen?" Alejandro asks.
"Anyways, I can consider voting for him." Sugar ignores Alejandro.
"Alright, thank you! I'll be so grateful if you guys save me." Dawn nods before making her exit.
Alejandro turns to the girls. "So… B and Dawn are targeting each other. Who do you guys want to go after?"
"Dawn, she's the weakest." Josee points out.
"B is rude! No one ignores Sugar and gets away with it!" Sugar punches her hand into her fist.
"I admit, Dawn is probably our better option long term." Alejandro says.
"SUGAR DOESN'T CARE."
"Well, Josee does!" Josee also uses third person narration.
"Well, Alejandro- no, I'm not doing it too." Alejandro cuts himself off. "Anyways, would you be willing to consider voting for Dawn?"
Sugar hesitates. "You better give me a good reason, or I'll deny voting for her faster than you can say a chicken screwed a rooster's mom and ate it for supper!"
Josee and Alejandro give each other a disturbed look. "I don't ever want to say that." Alejandro shudders.
Confessional: Josee and Alejandro
"Somehow, we ARE NOT the targets!" Josee cheers.
"I doubt the rest of the team is smart enough to come up with a decoy this good, so we actually have safety tonight." Alejandro agrees.
Conf end
Confessional: Sugar
"Sugar's got the power yet again, yeehaw!"
Conf end
Cut to Amethyst Team
We see Chet, MK, Dwayne, and Scarlett all standing together. Chet begins the talk. "Alright Operation: TYTO-"
"Huh?" Scarlett asks, not aware of the context behind the alliance name.
"We can explain later." MK says. "Continue, Chet."
"It seems that the other five will work together, so we need to do something." Chet says. "We either flip one of them to our side, or we could use this."
Chet pulls out the immunity idol. Scarlett and Dwayne gasp genuinely, but MK has a fake gasp.
"You have the idol? Alright!" Dwayne cheers.
"Keep it down." Scarlett scolds, her patience with the older man being thin as usual. "You have the idol, that's great and all, but you still need to play it correctly. And since there is only a 25% chance you'll manage to do that, our odds aren't looking so good."
"Well.. is there a way we can spy on them to try and find out who they're voting for?" Chet questions.
"They're too smart to not look around to see if anyone is overhearing." Scarlett deadpans.
While Dwayne, Scarlett, and Chet seem dejected, MK seems confident. "I may have an idea." MK says.
"What is it?" Dwayne questions.
"Do any of you feel like beating up someone?"
Everyone looks confused.
…
We see a camerawoman drinking some water. As she's finishing, Scarlett tackles her to the ground and begins stripping her of her clothes. "Sorry about this."
…
We cut back to the Operation: TYTO meeting. "Alright, I got the woman's outfit and a camera. What do you need this for?" Scarlett questions. MK grins.
…
We cut to Brick, Courtney, Bridgette, Jo, and Crimson all standing together. MK walks up to them dressed up as a camerawoman, with a hat that disguises her face well enough. Since the contestants are so used to cameramen and women after six weeks, they don't pay her any attention.
"We need to discuss who we want gone." Brick says. "I feel like it should be MK, she cheated in challenges on her second season! There is no honor in bending the rules to your favor."
"Bitch." MK thinks to herself.
"I agree, bending the rules to your favor is horrible!" Courtney states.
"Rich coming from the girl who sued the show to change the rules to benefit herself." MK thinks.
"Are you sure that's our best option?" Bridgette questions. "Scarlett literally tried to kill everyone that one time, she needs to go if we all want to make it to our next birthday."
"Wait, that's a fair point!" Brick agrees.
"Nah, Scarlett can't harm us anymore, we shouldn't target her." Jo advocates, getting an interested glance from MK.
"Crimson, do you have any input?" Courtney questions.
"I don't care… well, maybe I do. Dwayne isn't going to be helpful at all, and he's annoying. I wouldn't mind voting for him.
MK watches on until they come to a decision.
Confessional: MK
MK whistles. "Wooow, that was interesting, I got a lot of information from their conversation. This might be the smartest plan I've come up with yet!"
Conf end
Confessional: Jo
"I don't want it to be Scarlett. She's not in the main alliance, but I feel like I could work with her."
Conf end
We cut back to Operation: TYTO. "Well, what did you hear?"
"They're voting Dwayne." MK says.
"WHAT?" Dwayne yells out. "They're gonna get it, why would anyone want me out?"
"You're…" Scarlett starts. Everyone turns to her to hear how she'll finish the sentence. "Nevermind."
Confessional: Scarlett
"Annoying. Unfunny. Obnoxious."
Conf end
"Let's take out Courtney or Brick." Scarlett suggests. "Both give off leader vibes."
"No, that's not the mission statement." Chet declines.
"Huh?"
"Let me give you a history lesson."
We cut to Ruby Team at the campfire
Chris gives his trademark smile. "Welcome to your first elimination ceremony of the season, Ruby Team!" Chris greets. "One of you will just miss the halfway mark, and I'll just say… sucks to be you, haha! Now get to voting and we will find out who that unlucky loser is."
Voting
"Sorry girl, you're weak." Lightning votes for Dawn.
"I'm sad that it has come to this, but you started this war." Dawn frowns while voting B.
B flashes his Dawn vote.
Tyler slowly writes down B.
We get a quick cut of Cody, Alejandro, Josee, Raj, and Sugar voting before we cut back to the campfire.
Voting Over
"If anyone has found a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so…"
…
"Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… B."
B narrows his eyes.
"2nd vote… Dawn."
Dawn frowns.
"3rd vote… B."
B looks confused.
"4th vote… Dawn. That's 2 votes B, 2 votes Dawn."
Dawn takes a deep breath.
"5th vote… B."
B looks a tad worried.
"6th vote… B. 4 votes B, 2 votes Dawn."
The camera cuts to Sugar, Josee, and Alejandro as B looks to be panicking.
"49th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate… B. That's 5, that's enough. It's time for you to go."
…
B's shoulders slump in defeat as Dawn has a sad look. "Sorry B, but you came for me first. I didn't want to target you until I heard that."
B gives an annoyed look to Raj and Tyler before standing up. He gives a respectful nod before walking out.
Confessional: Alejandro
"Josee and I wanted Dawn, but Sugar wouldn't take any of our reasoning to not vote for B."
Conf end
Confessional: Dawn
"B was running things for a while… and now he's gone. I feel bad about voting him out, even if he was targeting me first." Dawn frowns.
Conf end
Confessional: Lightning
"ARE THESE PEOPLE INSANE?"
Conf end
We see the Ruby Team exit and the Amethyst team enter
"Welcome Amethyst Team! One of you will be going home today, let's see who that unlucky soul is!"
We get a quick cut of everyone voting before we cut back to the campfire.
"If anyone has found a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Wait!" Chet interrupts, causing all eyes to turn to him. "I have something I want to use."
Courtney taps her knee in worry as she and Bridgette exchange a tense glance.
"I want to use my idol for Dwayne." Chet says while handing the idol to Chris. The majority alliance deflates energy wise the instant they hear this. "The rules state that if a hidden immunity idol is played, then any votes cast against that player will not count. This IS a hidden immunity idol, any votes cast against Dwayne will not count."
Operation: TYTO smiles.
"Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… Dwayne. Does not count."
MK seems happy that they didn't change the plan last minute.
"2nd vote… Dwayne. Does not count."
Dwayne claps.
"3rd vote… Dwayne. Does not count."
The majority look upset, other than Crimson, who has a blank face.
"4th vote… Dwayne. Does not count."
Dwayne chuckles.
"5th vote… Dwayne. Does not count."
We get a shot of everyone.
…
…
…
…
"6th vote… Crimson."
Courtney, Jo, and Brick all seem surprised it wasn't them. Crimson blinks.
"7th vote… Crimson. 2 votes Crimson."
…
"50th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate… Crimson. That's 3, and tonight that's enough."
…
"BOOM!" Chet bursts out. "BET YOU REGRET VOTING LORENZO OUT NOW, HUH?"
"No." Crimson says dryly. "At least I'll get to see Ennui again."
She walks out and meets B. The silent duo don't exchange any words before the boat picks them up.
Confessional: Courtney
"Now the numbers are 4 and 4… I gotta say though, they were stupid for voting Crimson. She was obviously the least threatening."
Conf end
Confessional: Chet
"I FINALLY TOOK OUT A YELLOW TEAM MEMBER! Lorenzo, that was for you!"
Conf end
Confessional: Scarlett
"Taking out Crimson wasn't ideal, but the others wanted it." Scarlett rolls her eyes.
Conf end
We cut to Chris, who's now alone at the campfire ceremony. "And there we have it. One of the biggest power players in Phase 1 got eliminated, and now another successful idol play happened! That shows that the drama and chaos in this season won't let up anytime soon. If you want to see what plays out next, you need to tune into the next episode of Total Drama Ultimate!"
That's a wrap for episode 23! It was a bit of a building block episode as I had to establish new dynamics, but I think it got the job done.
B- This probably is a shock considering how well he played up to this point + the predictions of him being the main villain. Evidently, that did not happen. I thought B would be an easy boot, but taking him in a more cutthroat direction was actually pretty fun. He ran the Orange Team, but he didn't have the same success on Ruby. I think he was the perfect person to use to showcase how the new phase shook up the game. No one is safe, if this strategic powerhouse could go, anyone can.
Crimson- I think she was perfectly utilized this phase in terms of her role. Finally, Chet got a Yellow Team member eliminated. She did pretty well in the game all things considered and had power at multiple points. If MK didn't spy on the conversation, she would've even chosen who got eliminated. However, this is where it ends for her.
