Episode 33!
Lacueva- This was mentioned at the start, but you can't steal idols and advantages this season because it's stupid that it's allowed in canon imo lol
Jaron- Sorry for the Wemma drought!
myfacewhen- thanks!
Mortal01- Jen breathes and you hate it, I love the dedication. No one compares to Owen in the gluttony department I fear. I love how confused everyone was about Kitty when she eventually did show up. I'm dying that you thought Bowie was faking lol
kirbykid13- Nice to hear from you again! You clocked the twist this ep as you can see from the number count in the summary lol. Interesting to see which fourth of the cast you think has the highest likelihood of winning.
Red Rain- We're rocking and rolling instead of digging in, oh my! Glad you liked the challenge, I was worried people wouldn't. I hope you're happy BowRaj easily did the best of all the couples that went into this season together
Johnathan1209- A jury would be interesting and I'm sure I could write a fun bitter FTC, but it's not in the cards here. You're right about the parallel to MacArthur with Chet. I love that you're the analytic reviewer and shading Wemma for being lovey dovey, you're 100% right though. The cafe is nothing compared to the sanctuary where good things happen. I head canon that the Snow Owls are all... not the best, so they draw the worst things ever. Scottney. I don't know what to say specifically in response to the paragraph on them, but I liked reading it! Mary is such a savage in this story ngl, I doubt anyone expected that. Bowie's elim was fun to write even if it was a sad one. Correct on Alejandro, he's the last runner up left. Ik you're joking, but I don't think of gender when writing the story. There are multiple points of men/women going in a row because that's where the story is headed, I won't throw in an opposite gender boot just for the ratio, that's silly imo. Ngl, I like how the consensus is that the tribal solidified Mary as a villain, though she was in the right for eliminating him.
Recap
"Last time on Total Drama Ultimate… Chet and MK had a discussion about how far the Operation: TYTO mission statement was going, even to the point of the detriment of their own game. Chet agreed to play smarter and not be so blind on getting revenge. Jo, Courtney, and Brick celebrated their ouster of Dwayne, though Chet and MK are hatching a plan to form a crack in the alliance. Wayne and Emma had a cuddly bonding moment, aww… next! In more interesting things, Millie and Jen hatched a plan to get the advantage from under their team's flag. Jen caused a distraction for Wayne and Emma to leave camp, allowing Millie to get the idol- despite Kitty returning at an inopportune time. Taylor found an idol! Too bad it was just a fake that Scott made, haha! Scott drove a wedge between the two women on his team by lying to Blaineley that Taylor was going to try and make a fake alliance with her. The Ruby Team had a reward at the makeshift Pahkitew cafe, and they got letters from home! Unfortunately for Cody and Lightning, this seemed to have a negative effect. Duncan and Tammy had a conversation where it was made clear that Duncan and Harold wouldn't reconcile, and that was made even more blatant by Harold peeing in Duncan's cup… ew! Sammy ranted to Shawn about not liking Nichelle. We got more debate about a possible flip on Mary over at the Amber Team. The challenge was a relay challenge to get keys in a lake, which led to a lot of fighting as you would expect. In the end, it was the Sapphire and Amber Teams that lost. One conversation with Staci led to Bowie's demise, as she clued in Mary to the fact that he was potentially trying to blindside her. After confirming with Noah that he has been targeting her for months, Mary flipped the target onto Bowie. He caught on to this happening before the elimination and spent his time at the campfire ceremony begging to try and change his fate. Sadly for him, this didn't work as Mary didn't want to hear his pleas and he was sent home in an easy 4-1. On the Sapphire Team, Millie and Jen found out they secured an extra vote. They decided not to take this route however, instead opting for the alternate path of using Millie's idol to save Jen. This is exactly what happened, as Millie played her idol, sending Wayne out 3null-2. Shockingly, Emma doesn't seem too thrilled. We are down to just 28 players, the numbers are thinning rapidly. Who will go home next? Find out on this brand new episode of… Total Drama Ultimate!"
Intro
Day 63
Cut to Amber Team
We see the Amber Team slowly walking into their camp after the elimination ceremony. "That was something." Noah comments as the team enters.
"Yeah, it sure was." Mary replies calmly.
Confessional: Mary
"Last elimination, we cut off a snake. I was perfectly fine working with Bowie, but he tried to betray me first. I felt no sympathy for his crying because of that. Anyways, I know for sure I have Staci's loyalty because of it, and I also know that Izzy won't vote me out because of our phase 1 deal. I feel like making some sort of deal with Noah for a possible future phase would be a good idea."
Conf end
Confessional: Noah
"I'm pretty lucky to still be around at this point, I know it. I thought for a while that Bowie actually wasn't upset about how I manipulated Raj, but clearly I was wrong." Noah sighs. "I need to find a way to turn the tables on Mary if we lose again. That whole elimination was everyone tripping over themselves to try and make themselves seem good to her. I just feel a bit hopeless, like it might be a useless endeavor."
Conf end
"I didn't like that elimination." Staci frowns at Izzy.
"Why? You got what you wanted." Izzy replies.
"I know, but it was a bit stressful arguing like that! My great great great great uncle Phil invented arguments, and our family hates him for doing that! I'll just take it as a win that Bowie's gone." Staci says before Mary walks up to the duo.
"I want to thank you, Staci. If it weren't for you, Bowie could've been an unchecked threat to us." Mary says.
"You're welcome, an alliance needs loyalty!"
Confessional: Staci
"I'm glad Mary can see my contributions!"
Conf end
Confessional: Izzy
"Bowie and I barely talked, deserved elimination!"
Conf end
Moments later, Mary walks up to Noah. "Greetings. I just came here to thank you for your forthcoming nature by telling me what Bowie was planning. I'll just say, the door is open to work together in the future if you're down."
Noah looks surprised. "Are you serious?"
"Indeed."
"Wow, thanks, I guess. I'm down."
Confessional: Noah
"I don't believe that she's being genuine. She just walked up and was like 'hey, we can work together' so casually."
Conf end
Cut to Sapphire Team
"MILLIE." Emma yells.
Mille sighs, knowing what's about to come.
Confessional: Millie
"I knew that getting rid of Emma's boyfriend would make her mad, I knew the risk of being yelled at going in… now I have to deal with it."
Conf end
"Millie, you are a horrible person. Why the FUCK did you use your idol on Jen? Because of you, the best person on the planet is out. You thought you ate, didn't you? Well, you did, I'll admit... But that explains a lot. You're MASSIVE, in more ways than one! You're a massive traitor, a massive bitch, and a massive- URGH, I'm so mad I can't even think of something else right now! You now have to sleep tonight knowing that someone hates you, that person being ME. How does that make you feel? Must suck, huh? UGH, you're just so... UGH! I hope it was worth it." Emma finishes her rant. Her breathing is heavy, and her face is red.
Millie's jaw is dropped. Having no response, she just ignores Emma and walks off.
"YEP, just walk away and pretend like you don't care! Well, I don't care either, because I don't want to see your face right now!"
Millie continues to walk away.
"HEY, I'M NOT DONE TALKING TO YOU!" Emma shouts. She follows Millie, despite just saying she didn't want to see her face.
Confessional: Emma23
Emma takes a deep breath. "Oof, I got really mad there." Emma says. "I feel kind of bad now, I was just angry in the moment… but no one is going to mess with my new man and get away with it!"
Conf end
Confessional: Jen
"Yikes, Emma has been very unhappy these past few eliminations, dude." Jen slips in her Chase speech with an awkward look. "Oh well, she's just overly emotional. I'm grateful to Millie that I'm still in!"
Conf end
We see Millie and Kitty talking a little while after the confrontation. "So…" Kitty trails off.
"I'm sorry Kitty! I meant what I said to Wayne, I did it because I was going to be the next to go if we lost again." Millie apologizes.
"I know, don't worry." Kitty assures. "This doesn't change anything between us."
Confessional: Kitty
"I'm not mad at Millie, but I know that I need to think more in the future. Being cordial and respectful instead of yelling probably makes me less of a target than Emma. I won't tell Emma to tone it down. I love her, but I've been helping her all game. In this case, I need to be selfish for once."
Conf end
Cut to Amethyst Team
We see the full Amethyst Team sitting together. They won't be together for long however, as Chet pipes up. "We need some more water. Do you mind coming with me, Brick?" Chet requests.
"No problem." Brick nods, and the duo stand up together and walk off. Courtney frowns at that.
Confessional: Courtney
"Why did he need Brick specifically to come with him? …okay, you're overthinking this, Courtney."
Conf end
Courtney walks in the opposite direction to take a walk, leaving Jo and MK alone.
…
"I like your sweatpants." MK says out of the blue.
"I know, they're very comfortable." Jo replies.
"Where did you buy them?" MK asks.
"..."
"..."
"Goodwill." Jo hesitantly answers.
"You shop there too?" MK looks surprised.
"Wait, you shop there?"
"Yes. I don't care enough about clothes to spend a lot of money on it, Goodwill is cheap." MK replies.
"Same here, I can't stand people who spend hundreds of dollars on clothes." Jo agrees.
"Julia tries to get me to shop at her fancy stores, but I don't go unless I'm literally dragged there." MK states.
"That'd be the worst!"
"It is."
Confessional: MK
"I have no idea why I started a conversation about sweatpants, but here we are. Hopefully, Chet is working on Brick right now."
Conf end
Confessional: Jo
"If things shook out differently, MK and I could've made for good allies. Too bad I won't forget about the camera thing, so she's still going next."
Conf end
"I still can't believe what Courtney did." Chet shakes his head as he and Brick make their way to the lake. "Punching Wayne's goggles is an insane thing to do. Like MK said, he could've been blinded by that if it got into his eyes."
"Yeah, that is true. She could've outswam and outran Wayne without having to do that, she did hype her skills up after all." Brick replies.
"Only to not be that quick…" Chet mutters, though he wasn't exactly setting any records in the previous challenge either. "Seeing what Courtney did made MK and I feel guilty about everything involving that camerawoman. Even if it was Scarlett who attacked her, we did something very wrong… sorry that we screwed Crimson over and hurt that woman."
"An apology doesn't automatically make what you did okay, but it's good that you see the errors of your ways." Brick puts a hand on Chet's shoulder. "What Courtney did wasn't good either, but she can apologize too. Everyone deserves a chance to right their wrongs."
"I guess…"
Confessional: Chet
"I don't give a shit about that camerawoman, nor do I give a shit about using her to screw Crimson out of the game. I just apologized to appeal to Brick's emotions… the bad part is, he'd be willing to give Courtney another chance if she apologized. But I think I'm wearing down on him!"
Conf end
Confessional: Brick
"I'm glad to hear that Chet and MK feel guilty. If I was willing to give Scott, Max, Jo, and Courtney more chances, I can give them the same grace. I don't respect how dirty Courtney played to win, but I'll respect her if she apologizes!"
Conf end
Cut to Gold Team
We see Taylor and Scott looking for berries together. "Ugh, I hate having to get food." Taylor whines.
"I know, you mention that constantly." Scott deadpans.
"Oh, sue me… oh wait, you can't afford it!" Taylor makes a wealth joke, causing Scott to roll his eyes.
"Hilarious."
The duo continues to search for berries, until Scott hears a gasp from Taylor. His heart sinks as he sees her pulling out a Gold idol from one of the bushes. "Wait, I'm like so confused." Taylor says while holding the real idol. "I found one yesterday, did they hide multiple in the same camp?"
Scott looks worried, but he tries to play off his nervousness. "What do you mean you found one yesterday?"
"Look."
…
We cut to Taylor showing Scott the fake idol that he made. "There are two idols, that's weird." Taylor notes.
"One of them must be fake then!" Scott pretends to be shocked. "I'd love to take credit for making it, but I'm more of a carver than a bead user. It must've been Blaineley who made that fake idol!"
"Ugh, it probably was. Back in the 1800s, she probably did arts and crafts."
Confessional: Taylor
"So… the idol I found a few days ago was fake, but now I have the real thing! There is no way I can go home now, haha! Now I don't even have to try to play nice with people I hate anymore, they can't get rid of me."
Conf end
Confessional: Scott
Scott groans for ten seconds. "Of course she managed to find the real one! I had to lie and pin it on Blaineley to put those two against each other. I wanted to work with Blaineley to take Taylor out, but now that she has the idol, I'm unsure."
Conf end
Cut to Emerald Team
We see Shawn and Nichelle walking back to camp with a squirrel corpse. "Yeah, she doesn't like you either, but you already knew that." Shawn refers to Sammy.
Nichelle laughs. "Shocker of the year."
"Can you try not to escalate this further though? I'd just rather… not deal with it." Shawn says.
"No one is forcing you to get involved. Sometimes, people don't like each other. I don't hold anything about Sammy against you." Nichelle assures.
"I guess."
…
"What did she say, exactly?" Nichelle asks.
"Basically how she didn't like you accusing her of manipulating me when you've never struggled in your life." Shawn replies.
Nichelle scoffs. "Who is she to say that?"
"It's probably the Hollywood thing." Shawn shrugs.
"Pfft." Nichelle shakes her head. "I get that her life is tough, but if she's implying that being a young woman in Hollywood who's had to deal with creepy old men who took much interest in a teenager holding her fate in their hands isn't a struggle, I'm insulted."
"Too much interest in a teenager? What does that mean?" Shawn asks.
"Work it out for yourself, there are some creeps who get prominent roles that young women like me are forced to deal with or we're out of the job." Nichelle frowns.
"Oh… I'm sorry to hear that." Shawn frowns back, understanding what she means.
"Whatevs, used to it by now. Anyways, we're going to cook this tonight, right?" Nichelle gestures to the squirrel Shawn is holding.
"Yup, gotta keep everyone fed."
Confessional: Nichelle
"I'm just being given MORE reasons as to why Sammy has to go, it's going to happen, mark my words!"
Conf end
Confessional: Shawn
"I hope those people she was referring to get eaten by a zombie!"
Conf end
"She's so annoying!" Sammy rants to Tammy about Nichelle.
"I'm aware you think this, you've now mentioned her for the 47th time today." Tammy replies.
"GOSH, it was only the 6th!" Harold corrects.
"I know, it was an exaggeration." Tammy rolls her eyes. Duncan laughs at this ongoing conflict.
"I'm sorry for ranting about this today. I try not to get too confrontational to people's faces, that's a bad strategy." Sammy says.
Confessional: Harold
"Take notes, Duncan."
Conf end
Nichelle and Shawn enter the camp. "We have a squirrel!" Shawn announces, causing the team to cheer.
"Thank god, I've been starving." Harold smiles.
"I've gotten pretty good at laying traps, you're welcome." Nichelle says with joking confidence, causing Sammy to roll her eyes. Nichelle notices this and glares, causing some tension. Duncan notices this.
Confessional: Duncan
"I apologized to Sammy about the whole Amy situation, but this is still a game. If we lose, there's a good chance I'll be the one participating in the tiebreaker. I need to get the target off my back and onto someone else in my alliance… and I think I found the perfect way to do it."
Conf end
"What were you guys talking about when we were gone?" Shawn asks.
"Cheerleading." Sammy replies.
"Actually, we were listening to Sammy rant about finding Nichelle to be annoying." Duncan says, causing everyone to turn to him.
"Excuse me?" Nichelle exclaims.
Confessional: Tammy
"Ooh… that guy is smart." Tammy looks begrudgingly impressed at Duncan.
Conf end
"That's been happening all day." Duncan adds.
"Well, it's nice to see the team spirit." Nichelle glares.
"You've probably been doing the same thing." Sammy replies.
"Only to one person! I didn't make it a group project to slander you." Nichelle responds. In a matter of moments, the rival's voices begin to get loud as yelling commences.
"Oh no…" Shawn mutters.
"You made it a big thing in front of everyone to say I was manipulating my friend!" Sammy shouts.
"You made the elimination ceremony a big deal first, you caused the chaos!" Nichelle shouts back.
"Guys, stop yelling!" Shawn says.
"It's not my fault that you've assumed the worst in me!" Sammy yells.
"You should assume people don't have other people's best interests in mind, that's the game! Maybe if you understood that, you'd actually be good at playing it!"
"You literally quit over a fake contract because you rely on others so much that you've never read over a contract yourself to tell the difference between real and fake, shut up!"
"You're only still in the game because of twists, you shut up!"
"You know, with your personality, it's no wonder that you've never actually had genuine friends until this season!"
"Like you're the one to talk about not making friends easily." Nichelle claps back. With that, Sammy stands up and swats her bottle that's been sitting on a log out of frustration. The bottle flies and hits Nichelle in the mouth, causing everyone to gasp. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Oh please, it was an accident!"
"This won't be!" Nichelle yells, walking over and pushing Sammy. Still on her feet, Sammy walks over and slaps Nichelle in the face. In response, Nichelle grabs Sammy by the hair and throws her to the ground. Sammy grabs Nichelle's legs from the ground, and the duo begin tussling, slapping, and pulling each other's hair on the floor. Everyone looks on in shock as the tension that's been building for a long time finally boils over.
Suddenly, Harold smiles. "Cat fight!"
He turns to Duncan, and the duo high five. They realize what just happened and instantly look away from each other as Tammy rolls her eyes.
Confessional: Tammy
"Really?"
Conf end
Confessional: Duncan
"Things worked out, now I'm sure that the other alliance is going to target Nichelle over me."
Conf end
Sammy and Nichelle continue fighting, but Shawn and Tammy rip the duo apart from each other. "Separate, now!" Tammy commands.
They try to pull them apart, and it looks like they're about to stop, but Sammy flips Nichelle off as they're being pulled apart. This causes Nichelle to break out of Shawn's grip and run over and tackle Sammy again, resuming the fight. Duncan is hysterically laughing at this point.
Confessional: Shawn
"I was afraid something like this was going to happen!" Shawn groans.
Conf end
Confessional: Nichelle
Nichelle spits out some blood. "That bitch is going to PAY."
Conf end
Confessional: Sammy
Sammy is holding a clump of hair that Nichelle ripped out. "I cannot stand her!" Sammy takes some deep breaths. "I get in brutal fights when I'm mad…" she notes.
Conf end
Cut to Ruby Team
We see the Ruby Team except for Lightning eating pancakes. "This is the best reward, I love pancakes!" Raj exclaims.
"Same." Sugar agrees to the surprise of no one.
"I feel that there are too many carbs, but I'm so hungry that it's hard to care at this point." Alejandro says.
"You know, these are so good, I feel like everything's going great!" Raj is blissfully unaware of who got voted out the previous night.
"I wish we got more candy." Cody says.
"You'll get diabetes if you eat more candy." Josee responds.
"...it'd be worth it!"
"My grandpa has diabetes, it's not fun." Raj lore drops.
"My grandpa has asthma." Josee lore drops too.
"My friend Ally's grandpa died of lung cancer." Cody adds.
"Enough about grandpas, where is Lightning?" Alejandro asks.
"In the sky before it rains, duh!" Sugar responds. Alejandro facepalms.
"I meant the person." Alejandro elaborates.
"I'll go find him." Cody walks away.
Confessional: Josee
"I'm very content with how things are going right now. Two first place finishes in a row is exactly where I want to be."
Conf end
Confessional: Sugar
"Two food rewards in a row? Is this Pahkitew Island or heaven?"
Conf end
Confessional: Alejandro
"If we keep up this streak, then the problem of Josee being a target will be null. I'm hoping a new phase is on the horizon."
Conf end
We see Lightning sitting alone while looking at his letters from the previous reward. Say it with me- he isn't alone for long- as Cody walks into the scene. "Hi Lightning." Cody greets. "What are you doing?"
"Just looking at the letters." Lightning replies. Cody notices the sad look in his eyes.
"Can I sit?"
"I can't stop you from doing that… well, actually I can, but I won't." Lightning responds. With that, Cody sits next to him.
"Are you okay?" Cody asks.
"Sha-yup." Lightning nods. "Why do you ask?"
"It's just that you seemed sad when the waitress said that your dad didn't write a letter because he was busy." Cody replies.
Lightning shakes his head. "Don't worry, the Lightning is used to it!"
"...do you like being used to it?" Cody asks, causing Lightning's face to drop.
"Uh… not really."
There is a bit of an awkward silence.
"Sorry if talking about it is a sore spot, I know we had an awkward moment about our parents before." Cody rubs his arm. "I just-"
"Feel the same way? Didn't you only get one letter?" Lightning cuts him off.
There is a slight pause. "Yeah, my parents didn't write anything. That's probably why I paid attention to you after the waitress said your dad was too busy." Cody admits.
"Well, pops is busy and famous." Lightning says. "I get why he couldn't write the letter, but I just wish-"
Suddenly, Lightning stops talking.
"Lightning?"
"Why am I even telling you about this?" Lightning suddenly says.
"Because we're fr…" Cody cuts himself off, causing Lightning to raise an eyebrow. "I was going to say friends, but I'm unsure if we actually are… are we friends?"
Lightning shrugs. "If you want to be friends with Lightning, then by all means."
Cody nods in understanding while smiling. "That's good… you don't have to say anything to me, but I'll listen to you if you want to say something. I just want to talk because I relate to your situation."
"...alright." Lightning says quietly. "I wasn't raised to talk about my problems. If you want to talk so much though, why didn't your parents write for you?"
"Honestly? I have no idea why they even became parents. I feel like they lost a bet and had to have a child as punishment or something, that's how little they pay attention to me. They don't remember my birthday, they never came to school events, they never did anything. I ran away to my friend's house for a week in middle school, and they didn't even acknowledge me when I came back or ever actually cared that I disappeared. I wasn't physically abused or anything, but I think I was neglected." Cody sounds sad upon saying the words out loud. "I came on Total Drama to meet some new people, and it was a fun distraction despite being mauled by a bear or other humiliating stuff."
Lightning listens intently. "Huh…"
"Yeah… the sad thing is that just like you, I'm used to it." Cody shrugs it off.
Lightning frowns. "My pop wasn't neglectful on purpose or mal- mal-"
"Maliciously?"
"Yeah, that's the word!" Lightning shows another example of his lack of brainpower. "He's always just busy, he was barely home. I got involved in sports to try to make him proud or acknowledge my accomplishments. He would just say 'good job' then go back to traveling the country for weeks at a time without me seeing him. I won Revenge of the Island, and he didn't seem to care that much after a day. I'm trying to make it to the NFL so that we'll see each other more frequently. But I…"
"You what?" Cody urges him to finish.
"Something is sha-telling me that no matter what I do- even if I become the first two time winner of this show- nothing will change." Lightning frowns.
Cody pats him on the back. "I'm sorry about that."
Lightning shakes his head. "Like Lightning said, he's used to it. I'll just ignore the bad feelings."
Confessional: Cody
"I'm shocked that he opened up to me, but I'm glad that he did. I feel even closer to him now!"
Conf end
Confessional: Lightning
"Lightning always does things for himself, but that conversation made it easier to accept that pops won't care…"
Conf end
Day 64
Cut to Amber Team
Confessional: Noah
"My goal for today is to try and get something going to get myself out of this mess. I think Mary made a mistake by offering an obviously fake deal, I can use that to my advantage."
Conf end
"Staci, we need to talk." Noah says as he walks up to the chatterbox near the lake.
"Wow, you want to talk? That's shocking considering you're a hermit who hates people, haha!" Staci laughs.
"Haha." Noah repeats dryly before getting to business. "As you know, I'm not in a good position on this team."
"Yeah, making snarky comments isn't helpful for your game!"
"Look who's talking…" Noah mutters.
"What?"
"What? Anyways, something happened yesterday that I need to tell you about." Noah says. "And it's about Mary."
"Did she lie and have her nose grow?" Staci wonders.
"Her nose did not grow. I know that she's working with you and Izzy, but she tried to make an alliance offer with me." Noah states, causing Staci to raise an eyebrow.
"Wait, really?" Staci asks.
"Yeah, it was when she walked up to me right after talking to you and Izzy after the elimination ceremony." Noah confirms. "It's like I said, she's playing all sides and could betray you next."
"Hm…"
Confessional: Staci
"I doubt that she actually did this, Noah is lying."
Conf end
We cut to later in the day. Mary is laying down in camp, taking in the sun. The sun is blocked out once Staci arrives though. "Noah is making up lies about you."
Mary sits up. "Huh?"
"I talked to Noah earlier. He was saying these things about how you tried to form an alliance with him. Obviously, he was just trying to split us apart, but I just felt like you should know." Staci says.
"Huh. People on the bottom do desperate things." Mary says calmly. "Thanks for telling me about this, we can swiftly boot him if we lose today."
Confessional: Mary
"Noah, why would you do that? Sure, you'd be going home either way if we lose, but you ruined the possibility of a phase 3 ally, that's very unwise."
Conf end
The camera pans over to Noah, who watches as this conversation goes down. He can't hear what the duo are discussing, but their body language paints an uncomfortable picture.
Confessional: Noah
Noah growls. "If Staci was being a snitch AGAIN when I wasn't even lying, I swear."
Conf end
Cut to Gold Team
We see the whole Gold Team in camp. Taylor yawns loudly. "I'm thirsty." she says.
No one responds, as they do not care.
"Guys, I want water." Taylor states.
"Then go get some." Blaineley says.
"Get it for me." Taylor tells the other two, getting laughs out of the duo.
"What do you think we are, your servants?" Scott laughs. "Do it yourself."
"Get it for me." Taylor repeats herself.
"No." Blaineley answers.
Taylor pulls out her idol. "Get water for me, or I'm throwing the challenge to eliminate one of you. You can't vote me out because of my idol!"
Blaineley and Scott look at each other in shock. "Are you kidding me?" Blaineley asks.
"No, I'm not. Now get me water, or one of you is going home!" Taylor demands.
Blaineley and Scott groan as they walk away to get water.
Confessional: Taylor
"I won't actually throw any challenges, but I don't feel like getting things for myself anymore. If I can threaten them into doing it for me, it'd make my life so much better. Ugh, we should've done this season in a yacht, not an island!"
Conf end
We see Blaineley and Scott walking. "What the hell is that?" Blaineley asks. "What makes her think she can just waltz in and act like that?"
"Because she has power…"
"Holding it over our heads though? That's stupid." Blaineley groans. "It's something I should be doing!"
Scott rolls his eyes. "Seriously?"
"I'm disappointed in my gameplay. I came into this season wanting to be the drama queen, yet I've been playing decently on this team." Blaineley says.
"You're disappointed… about playing well?" Scott looks bewildered.
"Yes! Amy and I should be taking over television." Blaineley frowns.
"Good gameplay that earns you 10 million dollars would probably be enough for a new show without creating artificial drama." Scott replies, causing Blaineley to look to be in thought.
Confessional: Scott
"Too bad she's getting nowhere near the money, it's going to be all mine."
Conf end
Confessional: Blaineley
"I can't believe it's been so long since Amy has been eliminated. I thought I was dead after that, but I'm still in. I won't let Taylor eliminate me!"
Conf end
Cut to the challenge
We see Chris outside of a building. He watches as the Ruby, Emerald, Amethyst, and Gold Teams make their way to their team mats. Once they're settled in, the Amber Team walks in. "Getting your first look at the new Amber Team… Bowie voted out at the last elimination."
"WHAT?!" Raj looks shocked. "Bowie's gone?"
"Sorry, dude." Cody gives a sympathetic look.
Confessional: Chet
Chet begins flossing in the confessional out of joy that Bowie, a Yellow Team member, has been eliminated.
Conf end
Confessional: Raj
"Th- this sucks! Bowie was doing so well, we were even helping each other in the last challenge and now he's gone! It must've been Noah who caused this… today can't get any worse!"
Conf end
Once the Amber Team is settled in, the Sapphire Team enters the scene. "Getting your first look at the new Sapphire Team… Wayne voted out at the last elimination."
Raj's jaw drops.
"Damn, today is not your day." Lightning unhelpfully comments.
Confessional: Raj
"Bowie AND Wayne?" Raj panics. "I- both of them?! I know I said that I wanted to be more independent this time, but it's still shocking!"
Conf end
Confessional: Alejandro
"In my opinion, Raj should be grateful that they're gone. His threat level has decreased significantly now that his two obvious connections are eliminated. Josee and I nearly idoled him out over Tyler because of them."
Conf end
Confessional: Emma23
"I saw that Bowie was gone on the Amber Team when I arrived." Emma takes some deep breaths. Those don't work, as she screams to end her confessional.
Conf end
"Alright, it's time for the next challenge." Chris says. "Who likes exercise?"
"Not me, haha!" Staci replies.
"We know." Taylor says.
"Wow, I'm surprised you know anything considering how stupid you are, haha-"
"Enough talking, let me explain. There is one giant treadmill in that building. You will all be running on it. As time goes on, objects will be thrown at you and the pace of the treadmill will increase. If you fall off the treadmill, you're out of the challenge. The first three teams to have all of their members fall off are up for elimination tonight." Chris explains.
Confessional: Taylor
We see Taylor smirking. "I'm not even worried about the numbers disadvantage. All of the other teams have fat people who clearly don't exercise, I'm sure our team is winning."
Conf end
"There is a twist." Chris says, getting an ensemble of groans. "What? Twists are fun!"
"No, they really aren't." Noah frowns.
"Well, we're having one anyway. Last place will have to vote out two people. That means four people will be going home today, and this is the last round of this stage of the game!" Chris announces, causing a chorus of gasps.
"Really?" Cody looks surprised.
"Really." Chris confirms. Everyone has looks of determination, clearly wanting to be a part of the third phase.
"Is it a merge?" Courtney questions.
"Nope, but it's the final pre merge phase." Chris replies. "Anyways, let's get ready for the challenge!"
Confessional: Noah
"We NEED to win this! It can be the second phase in a row where I survive through a phase by the skin of my teeth…"
Conf end
We cut to everyone on the treadmill. Some discussions are happening before it gets going. Noah walks up to Izzy. "Izzy."
"Noah." Izzy says Noah's name in response.
Noah sighs. "Can you please do your best today… I don't want to go home."
Izzy laughs. "Of course I will! I wanted to save you over Bowie for a reason, silly!"
…
Kitty walks up to Raj. "Hi…" she says while noticing that he's frowning.
Raj looks up at his former Yellow teammate. "Hi."
"Wayne wanted me to give this to you." Kitty hands Raj the hat Wayne left for him.
Raj lights up while looking at it. "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome. If you're wondering what happened, it wasn't Emma or I's fault. Millie idoled him out by playing her idol on Jen." Kitty explains.
Raj looks at Millie, who has a worried expression on her face regarding the upcoming challenge.
"Noted… I have a question."
"Yes?"
"Did Wayne ask Emma out?" Raj asks, wanting some confirmation as he never got a follow up after Wayne told him he planned to. Kitty nods with a smile.
…
Josee and Lightning are talking. "We cannot lose this one, look at how stacked our team is. We only have two weaklings in this challenge!"
"You're right."
"I'm not one of the weaklings for this, right?" Sugar inserts herself into the conversation. She gets no response.
…
Blaineley groans while taking off her high heels. "My shoes are too fabulous for this challenge."
"Ugh, I know. I think we can win, but this challenge is NOT giving." Taylor frowns. The frown is soon turned upside down. "Oh well, if we lose, I'm safe!"
Blaineley and Scott exchange an annoyed glance.
…
"This challenge is on… NOW!" Chris announces, and the treadmill begins to move.
Everyone is nervously waiting for objects to be put onto the treadmill. At the end of it is a drop into some foam cubes to break the fall, as the treadmill is elevated. Staci isn't doing too well in the challenge, and Taylor takes note of this.
"Have fun falling!" she laughs.
"I'm taking you with me!"
"What-"
Staci grabs Taylor by the hair and jumps off the treadmill with her, making both ladies the first out of the challenge.
Confessional: Staci
"I've hated her since day 1, she deserved it!"
Conf end
Confessional: Taylor
Taylor growls in frustration. "HOW DARE SHE!"
Conf end
Remaining:
Ruby: Cody, Alejandro, Josee, Raj, Sugar, Lightning
Sapphire: Millie, Emma23, Kitty, Jen
Emerald: Harold, Tammy, Nichelle, Shawn, Sammy, Duncan
Amethyst: Brick, Courtney, Chet, MK, Jo
Amber: Izzy, Mary, Noah
Gold: Scott, Blaineley
"Two people are out of the challenge, let's speed it up!" Chris cackles. A few small cubes are placed on the treadmill, but they're pretty easy to overcome, as they're only a taste of what's to come.
"My asthma is acting up!" Harold wheezes.
"Come on, stay in it!" Sammy encourages. She groans while looking at her feet. "I should've taken these boots off."
Kitty laughs. "You're telling me!"
…
"I hate running." MK complains as Harold's asthma causes him to give up, letting himself fall off the treadmill.
"I also hate running, maybe I misjudged you." Noah says.
"Okay." MK dryly replies.
…
"I'm exhausted…" Millie wheezes.
"My boots are making this impossible!" Kitty complains.
"Millie, you might want to keep running." Emma glares. Millie doesn't keep running, instead she falls off the edge.
Remaining:
Ruby: Cody, Alejandro, Josee, Raj, Sugar, Lightning
Sapphire: Emma23, Kitty, Jen
Emerald: Tammy, Nichelle, Shawn, Sammy, Duncan
Amethyst: Brick, Courtney, Chet, MK, Jo
Amber: Izzy, Mary, Noah
Gold: Scott, Blaineley
"Let's speed it up again!" Chris announces. Suddenly, a log is thrown onto the treadmill once the pace picks up. People jump over the log, but Kitty trips after jumping over and is the treadmill's next victim. Soon after, Tammy, MK, and Sugar join her.
"Liability." Jo groans while noticing MK isn't with the rest of the team anymore.
"We can still win this, don't worry- WHAT IS THAT?" Brick replies before being cut off. A giant ball is on the treadmill, and people have to scurry over to the sides to avoid it. Cody and Brick aren't so quick, causing both of their eliminations in the challenge.
Remaining:
Ruby: Alejandro, Josee, Raj, Lightning
Sapphire: Emma23, Jen
Emerald: Nichelle, Shawn, Sammy, Duncan
Amethyst: Courtney, Chet, Jo
Amber: Izzy, Mary, Noah
Gold: Scott, Blaineley
"The Ruby and Emerald Team are unsurprisingly leading. Amber and Amethyst are in the middle with three, while the Sapphire and Gold Teams are currently in last with two." Chris gives an update.
"We only had three to begin with, of course we're in last." Blaineley complains.
"Like I always say, you should've done better, then you wouldn't have a disadvantage." Chris brushes off the complaint. "Anyways, let's add some animals!"
"HUH?" everyone says in unison as the treadmill begins to get even faster. Cats, dogs, bugs, scorpions, and squirrels are put onto the treadmill.
Nichelle and Jen scream as scorpions crawl towards them. Noah and Mary have no time to react to the animals as they've slowed down to the point they fall off the treadmill.
Confessional: Mary
"I've never claimed to be an athlete… I honestly wouldn't mind if Izzy lost it for us here, getting rid of Noah before a new phase wouldn't be a bad idea."
Conf end
"GET THESE SCORPIONS AWAY!" Jen shrieks. She trips onto her back and falls off the treadmill.
"Great, it's just up to me." Emma looks annoyed. "I'm going to win this for you, Wayne!"
"Wayne isn't even here." Duncan comments.
"Shut up!"
Duncan rolls his eyes, but this interaction causes a distraction as he trips on a cat and falls.
"I'm surprised that you're doing so well, honestly." Scott tells Blaineley.
"My personal trainer was a life saver." Blaineley replies. "Too bad he's depressed now…"
"How did that happen?"
"Nothing."
"Speaking of surprises, how are you still in?" Jo asks Chet.
"How many times do I have to tell people that I'm an athletic fatty, gosh!" Chet replies.
"Shawn." Izzy says.
…
"Shawn." Izzy repeats.
…
"Shawn."
"WHAT?"
"Foot!" Izzy yells, suddenly kicking Shawn in the face and knocking him to the ground. People gasp as Shawn falls off the treadmill.
"What was that for?" Nichelle yells.
"Fun."
"Grr!" Nichelle goes to tackle Izzy, but Izzy jumps, causing Nichelle to miss. She is now at the edge of the treadmill.
"Time to speed it up!" Chris says, effectively dooming Nichelle.
Confessional: Izzy
"Noah wanted my help, so there we go! Haha!" Izzy laughs before her face turns into a more serious look. "I also won't forget how Sammy wanted me to expose myself in the truth challenge, that's why I want her team to lose two members!"
Conf end
Remaining:
Ruby: Alejandro, Josee, Raj, Lightning
Sapphire: Emma23
Emerald: Sammy
Amethyst: Courtney, Chet, Jo
Amber: Izzy
Gold: Scott, Blaineley
"Emma is bound to fall soon." Alejandro comments.
"Why do you think that?" Emma asks.
"Just a prediction, no offense." Alejandro replies.
"When I'm very passionate or motivated about something, I do NOT lose easily! Do not underestimate me." Emma looks determined.
A pig is now on the treadmill. Courtney looks towards Jo and Chet. "I think that Izzy has the right idea by attacking people." she says before grabbing the pig. She goes to throw it at Raj, but Raj effortlessly catches it and throws it back at her AND Jo, knocking the duo to the ground. They can't get up in time before falling off.
"Nice, two for one!" Lightning cheers. Just as he says this, Blaineley falls next.
Confessional: Chet
Chet laughs. "Oh Courtney, that wasn't very honorable! That's some more bait for Brick to take, she's making it easy."
Conf end
Confessional: Courtney
"Oops…"
Conf end
Remaining:
Ruby: Alejandro, Josee, Raj, Lightning
Sapphire: Emma23
Emerald: Sammy
Amethyst: Chet
Amber: Izzy
Gold: Scott
"Four remain on the Ruby Team, but the other teams all only have one member left! Who will be safe?! We're about to find out!" Chris laughs before turning the speed up to the max setting. It takes only 15 seconds before three people drop out. "And the losers are…"
…
…
…
…
…
"The Emerald, Amethyst, and Gold Teams are up for elimination!" Chris announces. "The Emerald Team will vote out two members, and the Amethyst/Gold teams will just vote out one. As for the Ruby, Sapphire, and Amber Team- congrats, you've all made it to phase 3!"
Confessional: Noah
Noah takes a sigh of relief. "Izzy totally saved me there…"
Conf end
Confessional: Emma23
"Wayne, Bowie, I hope you guys are proud of me! I carried my team to phase 3!"
Conf end
Confessional: Josee
"Three first place finishes in a row to wrap the phase up, that's how it's done!"
Conf end
Confessional: Raj
"This win was a good way to ease the eliminations…"
Conf end
Confessional: Taylor
"UGH I can't believe it! I totally would've ate the challenge up if not for Staci. Oh well, I have the idol, so they'll be too afraid to vote for me."
Conf end
Confessional: Sammy
"I know who I want gone…"
Conf end
Confessional: Nichelle
"I know who I want gone…" Nichelle mirrors Sammy's words.
Conf end
Confessional: Harold
"We were doing so well too." Harold frowns. "Hopefully, those twists that helped even the numbers won't be in vain!"
Conf end
Confessional: MK
"I'm hoping we can manipulate Brick into keeping us…"
Conf end
Cut to Emerald Team
We cut to Tammy, Harold, and Sammy. "We're going to lose two people tonight, so we have to play this smart." Tammy says.
"Can we vote for Nichelle?" Sammy requests.
"I said we have to play this smart. Let's be honest: Nichelle would destroy us in a tiebreaker, we have to vote for the weakest member in Duncan. If one of us wins, we could vote Nichelle out right after." Tammy denies this request.
Sammy sighs. "You're right."
"I hope they vote for me actually so I could take Duncan out myself." Harold says, their brief moment of not hating each other earlier in the episode being null and void now.
"Do you think that you could get Shawn to flip and vote for Duncan? He voted for him before." Tammy requests.
"No, because he knows that Nichelle will go right after." Sammy frowns.
Confessional: Tammy
"I'm glad that despite their earlier argument, Sammy can remain objective and know that voting Nichelle first isn't the smarter move."
Conf end
We then cut to Nichelle, Shawn, and Duncan. "Can we please vote for Sammy?" Nichelle requests.
"No, it has to be Harold." Duncan shuts down.
"No, it doesn't have to be him-"
"I think it should be Harold." Shawn agrees with Duncan, causing Nichelle to sigh.
"I'm outnumbered here, aren't I?" Nichelle shakes her head.
"Yeah, sorry… I know you guys had a big fight, but I want it to be Harold." Shawn says.
"Can we vote her out on the second vote?" Nichelle asks. Shawn looks conflicted.
…
Cut to Amethyst Team
We see Brick, Courtney, and Jo together. "Which one do we send home?" Jo asks, referencing the Operation: TYTO duo.
"I'm thinking of MK." Brick says. "She was the mastermind behind the schemes. Now that we don't have to worry about a tiebreaker, it's the perfect time to send her home."
"Agreed, she's too smart to go any further. She could expose us to the other teams, I doubt anyone would take Chet seriously if he tried to do the same." Jo agrees.
"Yeah, MK it is." Courtney agrees.
…
Courtney is peacefully walking through the forest later in the day, though the peace is not long lasting.
"Tsk tsk tsk…" a voice says. "Courtney played dirty AGAIN in the challenge. Throwing objects at people, really?"
"I saw that." Brick replies to the owner of the voice, that being Chet.
"That was one of the least honorable things I've ever seen. MK and I are at least trying to improve ourselves, Courtney is regressing back to her old ways, we need to take her out while we still have the chance." Chet rants to Brick. "If you're a man of honor- and I know you are- you will be on board with this, right? Who knows who Courtney can hurt next?"
"I know… I haven't been liking her attitude in these challenges as of late." Brick replies, causing Courtney to look worried.
"Will you vote with us?"
"Let me think about it."
Confessional: Courtney
Courtney screams in frustration. "He's going to flip on me! Just like he did for Brody, Devin, and Max! I have to do something about it…"
Conf end
We cut to Brick and Jo later on. "Just so we're clear, you're locked in on MK, right?" Jo questions.
Brick nods. "Yes ma'am! Chet was trying to get me to flip onto Courtney earlier."
Jo nods back nervously. "Are you considering… you know… actually doing it?"
"I don't think I can flip again, I've burned the Red Team so many times and I regret it. I won't betray Courtney tonight. I told them that I'd consider it, but I'm not." Brick assures.
"That's exactly what I needed to hear." Jo smiles.
Confessional: Brick
"Chet may have some valid points, but I won't betray Courtney again after the Max vote."
Conf end
We see Chet and MK talking to each other. "Did you manage to convince Brick?" MK taps her fingers together nervously.
"He said that he'd think about it, which is better than nothing." Chet responds.
"That isn't good enough, we need assurance!" MK exclaims.
"I've been hammering home the point that Courtney isn't honorable, I hope he flips-"
"Ahem." a voice interrupts. Chet and MK turn around to see Courtney.
"Hi…" MK mutters.
"I heard all of that." Courtney puts a hand on her hip.
"Ok?" Chet says. "You're trying to target us, so I'm not sure what your problem is."
"Well, I wanted to come here and propose something. I DO think that Brick will flip and vote me out, which is what you want." Courtney says.
"Yes?" MK nods.
"But it's not a guarantee. There is something we can do to guarantee that all three of us make it to the next phase." Courtney states.
"We're listening…" MK says.
Cut to Gold Team
"Ok, we were so robbed." Taylor frowns while laying down on the ground. "Since I am the swing vote, you can both pitch your case to me. If you fetch me something cool, maybe I'll consider keeping you around."
Confessional: Taylor
"After how bad this team has been, I deserve to do this. I probably won't be on a team with Scott- who I intend to keep- after this, so it's going to be fun to be the queen for a day."
Conf end
We see Blaineley talking to Taylor. "Hi. Why should I keep you?" Taylor asks.
"Because we're Queen's Quest members, we should stick together." Blaineley replies.
"We've betrayed like 100 members of that alliance. Give me a better reason." Taylor responds.
"I-"
"Actually, get me some water first. I'm thirsty." Taylor demands. Blaineley walks away without a word, not getting Taylor any water, causing her to scoff. "Your funeral…"
Confessional: Blaineley
"Okay, she's being so annoying! Fuck her idol, I'm going to do something about it."
Conf end
We see Scott walk up to Taylor. "Hey Scott, you should get me some water."
"Why should I? I helped you realize that Blaineley planted a fake idol." Scott states.
"I know, but you're also gross and argue with me too much. Get me some water, or I'm siding with Blaineley to send you home." Taylor demands.
"Fine." Scott growls and walks away.
Confessional: Scott
"I am NOT going to get her water."
Conf end
We see Scott and Blaineley standing together. "Are you actually going to get her water?" Blaineley asks.
"Nope." Scott shakes his head. "She's been insufferable today."
"Let's be honest… she won't play her idol, she thinks that we're voting for each other." Blaineley says. "How about we turn the tables on her."
Scott smiles. "I'm listening… and may have had the same idea as you."
"We need to vote for Taylor and send her out with the idol." Blaineley says.
"Consider it done."
The duo shake hands, though when they turn around, both have worried looks on their faces.
Confessional: Blaineley
"I told Scott to vote for Taylor, but Taylor could still play the idol. This is a tough spot for a super diva like me to be in."
Conf end
Confessional: Scott
"The atmosphere in here smells like a middle aged woman calling herself a diva… anyways, I think Taylor will side with me either way. If she plays her idol tonight, then that could really backfire."
Conf end
Cut to Emerald Team at the campfire ceremony
"Welcome Emerald Team! It's only fitting that after every elimination you guys have ended up being chaotic, it's coming down to this. Two people will be going home. Let's vote and see who that first victim will be!"
Voting
"I've voted for you a lot of times on this show, this will be the last time." Duncan votes for Harold.
"I hope this is finally your time to go." Harold votes for Duncan.
Sammy takes a deep breath while putting her vote in the urn.
Tammy calmly writes a name down.
Nichelle frowns while putting a name in the urn.
Shawn slowly writes a name.
Voting Over
"If anyone has found a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so…"
…
"Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… Duncan."
Duncan nods.
"2nd vote… Harold."
Harold glares at Duncan.
"3rd vote… Duncan."
Duncan doesn't react.
"4th vote… Harold. That's 2 votes Duncan, 2 votes Harold."
Harold sighs.
"5th vote… Duncan. That's 3 votes Duncan, 2 votes Harold, 1 vote left…"
…
"Last vote… Harold! We have ourselves a good old fashioned tie."
"A good old fashioned tie? That was a cringy thing to say, Chris." Tammy disapproves.
"You of all people have no right to call something cringe. Anyway, everyone except Harold and Duncan will revote. So, get to it."
We see everyone revote before we cut back to the campfire ceremony
"Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… Harold."
…
"2nd vote… Duncan."
…
"3rd vote… Harold."
…
"Last vote… Duncan. We're tied again, it's time for a tiebreaker."
Confessional: Nichelle
"I thought about playing my idol, but I was confident that if I was the target, I would've beaten any of the other three in a tiebreaker. I feel like Duncan can do the same. If he fails, I'm playing my idol though."
Conf end
Confessional: Duncan
Duncan sighs. "I guess instigating that fight earlier didn't matter. Harold and I are going at it yet again, and I think I've got this one locked up."
Conf end
Confessional: Harold
"If Duncan thinks he's going to beat me again, he has another thing coming."
Conf end
We see Harold and Duncan wearing armor while sitting on horses in a makeshift arena. "This is a very simple tiebreaker! You'll each be given a dueling stick, and your goal will be to knock your opponent off of their horse. Whoever gets knocked off of their horse first is eliminated from the game right before Phase 3."
Chef walks in and hands both men a dueling stick before leaving.
"And the battle begins… NOW!" Chris yells.
With that, Harold gives a light kick to the side of the horse. "Go!" he yells. He swings his dueling stick at Duncan, who ducks and hits Harold in the chest. Harold falls back, but not off the horse itself. "Back up!"
Harold's horse runs away, but Duncan isn't so happy with that. "You aren't escaping that easily, follow him!"
Duncan's horse does as instructed, and it follows Harold. Duncan goes for a swing, but he's too far away from Harold and accidentally strikes the horse. Harold's horse throws a kick that nearly hits Duncan's, causing it to run away. Harold's horse chases after it. Duncan looks back just in case Harold tries to swing.
Harold in fact does try to swing, but he misses. Eventually, Duncan's horse turns around, which leads to both horses being face to face. Duncan and Harold both swing and connect at the same time, causing both to fall off and hit the ground.
"Uh… who wins?" Shawn asks.
"They hit at the same time." Sammy frowns.
"Um… it's a tie!" Chris announces.
"So, we get up and start again?" Harold asks while groaning in pain on the ground.
"Nope. Since neither of you won and this is a double elimination, I'll spare the time of an extra vote. You're BOTH eliminated!" Chris says.
"WHAT?" Duncan and Harold yell at the same time while Shawn, Nichelle, Tammy, and Sammy look shocked.
"Yup. Duncan, Harold, I'm sorry, but you're both eliminated from Total Drama Ultimate. You both must go." Chris restates.
"GOSH!" Harold yells loudly, obviously upset.
"Aw, I was hoping to merge again…" Duncan frowns.
"We're all devastated you're not screen hogging again." Tammy says sarcastically before looking at Harold. "Sorry to see you go."
Harold sighs. "This sucks, but I enjoyed our conversations. Good luck to you and Sammy."
"By the way, for the official record books, Harold will outrank Duncan." Chris says out of the blue.
"Why?" Duncan asks.
"Because fuck you. Anyways, you both must leave." Chris gestures for them to go. Both men oblige and walk out.
Confessional: Tammy
"That was… unexpected." Tammy says. "I'm sad Harold is gone, but Duncan going isn't a problem to me."
Conf end
Confessional: Sammy
"Ugh, I was hoping Harold would win the tiebreaker so we could kick Nichelle out! At least Duncan is gone, but still."
Conf end
Confessional: Shawn
"...that was the best case scenario, maybe. Nichelle and Duncan both wanted Sammy gone on vote #2, I probably would've had to go with them if Duncan won."
Conf end
Cut to Amethyst Team at the campfire ceremony
"Welcome Amethyst Team! I've been watching you all over the past 64 days, and I can say that each and every one of you have earned your spots in the final 26… too bad one of you is about to get cut right before phase 3! Get voting to see who that is."
We get a quick cut of everyone voting before we cut back to the campfire ceremony
"If anyone has found a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so…"
…
"Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… MK."
MK grimaces.
"2nd vote… MK."
Chet gives a nod in MK's direction, trying to give her some confidence.
"3rd vote… Brick."
Brick raises his unibrow.
"4th vote… Brick. That's 2 votes for Brick, 2 votes for MK, 1 vote left…"
Brick frowns while Jo looks bored. Courtney looks at the rest of her team nervously while MK and Chet stare at Courtney.
"75th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Brick! That's 3, it's time for you to go."
"YES!" MK shouts in joy.
Jo gasps. "Courtney!"
Brick turns to Courtney. "D- did you flip?"
Courtney has an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, Brick. I thought that you were probably going to flip on me, I had to make the first strike."
"I wasn't going to flip on you, I voted MK!" Brick says with an annoyed look.
Courtney sighs. "I've been burned too many times, you've flipped way too much in this game."
Brick doesn't have a response, instead just opting to stand up. "Thanks for not voting for me, Jo." he says before walking out. Jo glares at Courtney, who just shrugs in response.
Confessional: Chet and MK
The duo fist bump. "She told us to vote for Brick. Thankfully that happened, or I would've been toast." MK smiles.
"Yeah, I guess our plan ended up working out, just not in the way we expected."
Conf end
Confessional: Jo
"I won't have to worry about being in the minority since it's the end of the phase, but what was that? Courtney doesn't realize that messing with me doesn't end well for anyone."
Conf end
Confessional: Courtney
"I had to do that, it was the safest way to ensure I made it to phase 3. My survival instincts kicked in, and now I'm safe. Final 24, and I'm going all the way!"
Conf end
Cut to Gold Team at the campfire ceremony
"Welcome Gold Team for the final time! You have lost six members up to this point, and for the last time this phase, we're seeing someone go home. It's time to vote and see which two of you are the sole survivors of a terrible team, get to it!"
We get a quick cut of everyone voting before we cut back to the campfire ceremony
"If anyone has found a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so…"
…
…
…
"Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… Blaineley."
Blaineley frowns upon seeing her name.
"2nd vote… Taylor. That's 1 vote Blaineley, 1 vote Taylor, 1 vote left…"
Taylor looks confused.
"76th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Taylor! That's two, it's time for you to go!"
"WHAT!" Taylor jumps up and screams at the top of her lungs. Blaineley and Scott laugh before high fiving, only serving to anger Taylor even more. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"
"That's what you get for being annoying all day." Blaineley laughs.
"More like all season." Scott adds with a snicker.
"Well, you can't get rid of me! I play my idol!" Taylor pulls out her immunity idol, causing Chris to laugh.
"Taylor, those can only be played before the votes are read, it won't save you here." Chris says.
"No no no!" Taylor stomps her foot. "I'm playing my idol!"
"Taylor." Chris deadpans.
"I REFUSE to leave this place!" Taylor shrieks. "I've worked WAY too hard to be eliminated now!"
"Everyone remaining has worked hard, you aren't special." Scott sneers.
"Of course I'm special!"
"You may be special, but you are also eliminated. Please make your exit." Chris gestures for her to go.
"NO! I AM NOT LEAVING." Taylor stomps her foot again. "I'm going to call my dad and make him sue you… or worse, I'm going to notify human resources of your treatment of me-"
"Chef." Chris looks at his sidekick. Chef instantly gets the message and walks towards Taylor.
"Don't come anywhere near me, you freak!" Taylor screams. Chef ignores her and grabs her. "LET GO OF ME!"
Chef starts taking her away from the elimination ceremony as her screams get more and more distant. Blaineley and Scott are proud of their work.
Confessional: Blaineley
"And the queen of TV has made it to the next stage of the game!" Blaineley looks proud of herself. "I'm so glad that the rat got what was coming to her."
Conf end
Confessional: Scott
"Pulling off that blindside felt like getting a new pig for Christmas, it was great." Scott smiles. "I had to overcome a lot to take control of this team, but I'm glad that good ol' Scotty was able to do it. Now hopefully, I'll be onto bigger and better things!"
Conf end
We cut to Chris alone at the campfire. "And that's a wrap for Phase 2 of this game! What will happen in the final pre merge phase? Who will go home powerful to powerless? Who will go from powerless to powerful? What crazy blindsides await us? Who will become the player to beat? The answer to all of these questions and more can only be found in the upcoming episodes, so making sure to tune in to… Total Drama Ultimate!"
Episode 33 and Phase 2 as a whole have wrapped up! I'll be honest, I am a bit embarrassed about this chapter. I feel that its lower quality compared to some recent episodes, but I hope it gets that job done. 76 are gone which is... wow. It hasn't even been 5 months since this started! Thanks to everyone for keeping up with it after so long. I assume there will be a gap between now and the next episode because Losers Lounge is a chore to right for, so bear with me.
Duncan- RIP Duncan. A pretty iconic player has fallen. I enjoyed what I did with him this season. Everyone being all WTF about the relationship with Amy was fun, and he had some good moments + bonds rebuilt. I decided not to make him reconcile with Harold because he needs to keep some of his old stuff lol.
Harold- Someone who I thought wasn't going to last long, but he did. I wish I captured his personality better, but I did enjoy him. He and Duncan went out together because neither had any further plotlines apart from each other, so might as well do a 2 for 1 sale
Brick- His story was probably out of left field. As far as I know, Brick isn't usually portrayed in the type of way where his honorable personality actually made him one of the biggest snakes of the season. I enjoyed that direction a lot more than generic heroic figure, so I'm pretty happy with him in this season in all honesty. I feel like Courtney flipping out of paranoia after he burned so many bridges was the only way his arc could end, and it needed to happen sooner than later.
Taylor- The brat has finally met her comeuppance! She was very easy to write for as a hate sink type character, and she filled her role well. The Kelly blindside was one of the most brutal and her rivalry with Staci was popular. It was intentional to have Staci take her out of the challenge in her boot episode. The big question now: How will she and Kelly reunite?
Here are a ton of questions to wrap up this phase!
Questions:
1. Thoughts on this sacrificed squad? Who are you saddest to see leave?
2. What was your favorite scene of this episode?
3. Which team was your favorite/least favorite this episode?
4. Which individual was your favorite in this episode?
5. What was your favorite and least favorite team all phase? (if you want to no life, rank all six)
6. Who are your favorites still in the game?
7. What eliminations were the happiest/saddest of Phase 2?
8. Who are the biggest pleasant surprises that you thought would go early/be irrelevant but have made it to f24.
9. Who is the strategic MVP?
10. Not a question, but over 3/4 of the cast is gone. That is crazy.
11. What do you think the team breakdown could look like in phase 3?
12. Which two players do you think are going to be the first phase 3 victims?
