After months, I have made my return! I got a spark of motivation again. Why was I gone? I'll explain at the end of the chapter. As a warning, sorry if there are some inconsistencies or rushed scenes... I'm easing myself back in, don't expect a 5 star chapter.

Everyone who commented once I was gone- thanks for caring about this story
Recap
"Last time on Total Drama Ultimate… Mary formed an alliance called The Outcasts, as she, Staci, Tammy, and Raj are working together. Though unbeknownst to her, Tammy and Raj discussed possibly bringing in Scott as their Kitty replacement. Speaking of Scott, he and Mary shared some tense words. Mary also told Staci to investigate the anti-Yellow agenda. Speaking of, Lightning encouraged Chet to get some yellow team therapy. The therapist ended up being Millie. Speaking of Millie, she and Sammy had a frank discussion about how weak Millie is in challenges. On the Fire Team, Alejandro and Shawn bonded about how both of their partners are out of the game. Meanwhile, the ladies of the Forgiveness Alliance were plotting how to blindside Noah in case he had an idol. The duos of Shawn/Nichelle and Alejandro/Josee each made deals to target the other duo to try and give him a false sense of security. In the challenge, there was some juicy conflict. Raj left Sugar to be attacked by animals. Chet spilled to Staci that there was an anti Yellow establishment. Tammy and Lightning made a deal so that the Water Team would save the Earth Team from seeing me at the campfire. The Forgiveness Alliance tried to blindside Noah, but Kitty's elimination made him paranoid enough to play his idol, sending Alejandro home 4-1. Now just 16 campers are left and things can only heat up from here. Who will go home on this episode of… Total Drama Ultimate?"
Intro
Day 75
Cut to Fire Team
We see the Fire Team arrive back at camp. "Sooo… that was a close one for me." Noah comments.
"Yup." Nichelle nods as Josee glares at Noah. Noah raises his arms up in defense.
"Why are you mad at me? You voted for me!"
"Yes, but I'm a gold medal holder in holding a grudge. Watch your back." Josee glares.
"I'd watch over Shawn if I were you, not me. He's the one that made a deal to keep me over Jen so he could be the one with power." Noah states casually, causing Shawn's eyes to widen.
"Excuse me?!" Shawn looks shocked as Nichelle and Josee turn to him.
"I don't know this for sure, but I'm like 80% sure he kept me for that purpose. And it worked, because I did believe him. I only played the idol just in case." Noah continues.
"That isn't even true, he must be infected by something!" Shawn exclaims.
"Not to say I believe him, but you were pushing for Jen to stay." Nichelle gives a skeptical look, though she doesn't seem too bothered by this despite it.
"My reasons weren't wrong!"
Confessional: Shawn
"I should've just cut Jen instead, she wouldn't have had an idol or have done what Noah did!"
Conf end
Confessional: Noah
"I'm trying to stir the pot between those three by throwing Shawn under the bus. I'm not sure how it will work out, but I hope the girls get mad."
Conf end
Cut to Water Team
We cut to Millie and Chet in the tent. "Alright, time for your second therapy session!" Millie exclaims. "Have you been using the techniques I asked you to use?"
"Yes." Chet slowly nods in response.
"Have they been helping?"
"Maybe."
Millie raises an eyebrow. "What do you mean maybe?"
"I only want to SLAP a Yellow Team member in the face instead of punching them. That counts for something, right?"
"I… suppose it does." Millie shrugs. "Anyways, you're making some progress! That's good. What do you think about the Fire Team going to the elimination ceremony last night in regards to Noah?"
"I hope he got voted out." Chet states bluntly.
"But Chet, there's a four person alliance between Nichelle, Shawn, Josee, and Alejandro. Wouldn't it be smarter to want one of them to go so a big threatening group isn't present at the merge?" Millie inquires.
Chet's eyes widen. "You're right! This is the kind of stuff MK was trying to teach me about, play smarter and not be petty!" Chet exclaims. "We need to work on that."
"You're self aware about the problem, good work! I didn't expect that you'd be smart enough to realize!" Millie smiles while accidentally shading Chet, which he notices and frowns. Millie doesn't see this. "Let's think of some ways to work on that!"
Confessional: Millie
"This is dumb, but it's going better than I thought it would."
Conf end
Confessional: Chet
"I AM smart…"
Conf end
"I hope that their therapy session is going well." Cody says lethargically in a forest area of his team's camp. Sugar and Lightning are nearby. "I know hating the Yellow Team isn't actually a serious problem, but I would've killed for a therapist like Millie!"
"Why didn't you get one?" Lightning questions.
"I'd ask my parents, and they'd say therapy is for weak people." Cody responds. He takes a moment before laughing. "Didn't yours say the same?"
"Both of your parents are right! Just stop being sad, it's that simple." Sugar scoffs. Cody gives her a blank look before shaking his head, though he doesn't bother to give a response to the ignorant woman. Moments later, he clutches his stomach in pain. Lightning has a look of concern.
"What's wrong?"
"Just hurting… again. You know how it is, hunger pains." Cody groans. Sugar looks confused.
"Huh? You're still struggling with that?"
"Yeah, it doesn't just go away without good food on a consistent basis." Cody weakly responds.
"I've never had hunger pains!" Sugar exclaims.
"I know." Cody deadpans.
"Anyways, has the target changed off of Millie?" Sugar asks.
"Nope! We can make her go sha-bye bye… though I don't really want to." Lightning says, causing Sugar and Cody to give confused looks. "That means that we would've lost a challenge, and I do not want that!"
"Ohhhhhh." the duo say in unison.
Confessional: Sugar
"With the way I turned Sammy against Millie, we have an easy majority!"
Conf end
Confessional: Lightning
"I'm surprised with how weak the team looked that we're doing so well."
Conf end
Confessional: Cody
Cody grabs his stomach in pain again. "Ow… how many more days are there?!"
Conf end
We see MK and Sammy watching the trio talk from afar. "Yeah, that's something to worry about." Sammy frowns with concern.
"So, we're on the same page?" MK asks. Sammy nods in response.
Confessional: MK
"The merge might be soon, but with all the twists this season, I don't want to risk being in the minority. Besides, Sugar is annoying as hell."
Conf end
Confessional: Sammy
"I'm feeling better and better about Millie's chances!"
Conf end
Cut to Earth Team
We see Mary yelping as a mosquito bites her. "Jinkies, not again!" she complains as she and Raj are carrying wood back to camp.
"What?" Raj questions, not noticing what happened.
"Stupid mosquito bit me." Mary sighs.
"I love mosquitos! Wayne and I would let them bite us, then we'd compare whose legs looked worse by the end of the day!" Raj smiles at the memory.
"I… why?" Mary gives a look of disbelief.
"That's what his mom said." Raj chuckles.
"I'm assuming the apple was in a different orchard in Wayne's case." Mary shades, though it goes over Raj's head.
"Wayne doesn't like apples that much."
"Ellody and I do, it's healthy." Mary replies. Raj looks confused, causing Mary to mirror his face. "What?"
"Who is Ellody?"
"My partner in the ridonculous race, remember? She got eliminated on Lime Team ages ago." Mary explains.
"Ohhhh…. now I remember!" Raj drawls. Mary doesn't believe this, but doesn't comment. "Aren't you sad she's gone? I've never heard you mention her come to think of it."
"Of course my sorrow was at the utmost level when she departed this competition, but it's not like there's much to talk about with you guys. None of you really knew her." Mary replies.
"You could teach Ellody lore to us! Tell me a fact about her!" Raj encourages.
"We both love studying the dictionary!" Mary says in her monotone positivity voice.
"Oh… sounds exciting!"
"We can actually recite the dictionary front to back, it's quite the accomplishment." Mary snorts like anyone cares.
"Good job, I know I wouldn't have the patience to learn that!" Raj says. "You could've recited it together if she was still here."
"You keep saying that, but I'll be honest, in a way I'm glad she's not here." Mary replies. Raj raises an eyebrow. "These games have a way of bringing drama and creating tension between close friends or loved ones. Look at Stephanie and Ryan from my season, or even Bowie being annoyed at you."
This causes Raj to pause. "Uh… what?"
Mary gives a fake confused look. "What do you mean what?"
"Why did you say Bowie was annoyed at me?"
Mary shakes her head. "The Noah drama stuff carried over to the Amber Team like I said. He seemed annoyed about Noah still being around because of you since they fought constantly. It wasn't a big deal or anything- just snippy comments now and then during the deliberation of who we'd send home when it wasn't Noah- but I'd rather me and Ellody have nothing wrong than these disagreements over game mistakes." Mary elaborates.
"A- are you serious?" Raj looks worried.
"I thought you knew about that, it was your drama after all." Mary has a fake apologetic look on her face. "Noah has been quite a problem it seems."
Confessional: Mary
"Obviously, that was false. I couldn't make up a huge lie or anything as Raj would know it's fake, but the subtlety of someone being disappointed yet not flat out angry is quite realistic. That was another shot to his psyche, just a bit more and it can throw him off his game enough to essentially be what Izzy was to me in phase 2. It also paints more of an anti Noah picture, which is my goal after he blew me off last challenge. Anyways, I do feel bad for Ellody, but of course I'm not crying about it. She lost a gameshow, she wasn't kidnapped and tortured. "
Conf end
Confessional: Raj
"Is what she saying true? I would get Bowie being mad about having me screw up his chances of winning... him getting idoled out is my fault, isn't it?!"
Conf end
We see Scott looking at the empty camp where he sees everyone's bags.
Confessional: Scott
"If I can look through Mary's bag, there might be something I can find!" Scott states hopefully.
Conf end
As Scott goes for the bag, a voice pipes up. "Hey Scott, haha! What are you doing?" Staci asks while walking in, making Scott huff in annoyance.
"Walking around camp." Scott replies calmly.
"You walk like a criminal who wants to do something bad! My serial killer aunt would-"
"I don't care." Scott says while clearly wanting her to go away. "Can I have some time alone?"
"You don't own this camp, haha! If you want to have alone time, you should go away!" Staci says before plopping herself down in the middle of camp. Scott scowls and decides to walk out. He curses Staci under his breath before running into someone else.
"...hey." Tammy says with a cautious look as she notices the man in front of her.
"Hi."
…
"Alright, I know there was some tension between us before, but I'm going to just straight up ask you a question." Tammy says.
"Okay… what is it?" Scott hesitantly replies, feeling like a wildcard question is on the horizon.
"What would you think of possibly working together on a future vote?"
Scott looks a tad surprised. "Wait, really? Aren't you mad about the whole chartney situation and how I was willing to use you?"
"Kind of,,. but there is a bigger threat." Tammy replies, causing Scott to look intrigued.
Confessional: Tammy
"It's time to start making a mark. I won't try to reveal anything too big about my future plans to Scott just yet though, I can't let anything backfire on me if I show my hand too early. I did that in DnD by telling Leonard how we could kill this monster to get equal money, then Leonard totally hosed me to take it for himself!"
Conf end
Cut to Fire Team
We see Nichelle and Josee talking as they're searching for an idol. "We NEED to get this before Noah does." Nichelle emphasizes the urgency of the situation. "We can't let Noah idol his way to the merge, that would be disgusting."
"Agreed. He and Tammy won't last much longer." Josee wears a malicious look.
"All shade intended here, but why are you worried about TAMMY of all people?" Nichelle raises an eyebrow. "I was on her phase 2 team, and she didn't do that much. She was Harold's sidekick during Axel's boot while he made the move, and that's it. Imagine being a sidekick to HAROLD!"
"She tackled me so Lightning could win, I won't forget that." Josee frowns.
"Oh, then she needs to go." Nichelle instantly conforms to the anti Tammy opinion. "What do you think about what Noah said with Shawn working with him?"
"It does make me a little suspicious that he probably made a deal with Noah right after I left his side, but we kind of did similar stuff with Dakota and Miles in phase 1. It's not a big deal, and it didn't affect his loyalty to us at all." Josee doesn't seem to care.
"You're right, he voted with the alliance and that's what matters." Nichelle says.
Confessional: Nichelle
"Of course I'm not going to make a big deal of this, it's such a nothing story. Noah will have to try harder than that if he wants to survive."
Conf end
Confessional: Josee
"Alejandro being gone means that I'll have to talk to Nichelle and Shawn more than I did. I know I'm a bit of a third wheel in the alliance now, but I'll have a lot more options if I merge since I'm not tied to Alejandro anymore."
Conf end
We cut to Shawn and Noah searching for the idol in a rocky area. "Why are you searching right next to me? Can't you go somewhere else?" Noah asks in an annoyed tone as Shawn follows every location he goes to. "Seriously, it's weird."
"I'm keeping tabs on you in case you find the idol." Shawn replies. "You can't let any info a zombie has slip by!"
"I'm not a zombie!"
"You have the energy of one."
…
"Why is that true?" Noah asks out loud. The duo make their way to a rock wall with a lot of holes in it- AKA the perfect place to look for an idol in. Shawn doesn't put his hand in any of the holes as Noah begins searching. He comes up empty, but when he goes to remove his hand, he can't. "Uh… I think my hand is stuck!"
Noah looks worried as he tries pulling it out, but it won't budge. "Why is it so sticky in here?"
"Don't know." Shawn responds with a shrug. Noah looks at Shawn and sees a barely contained laugh.
"What did you do?!" Noah asks.
"Bye Noah." Shawn ignores his question and walks off.
Confessional: Shawn
"I may or may not have been getting stuff like tree sap in the past two phases or that maple syrup from the cooking challenge so I can have sticky things in case I need to make a trap." Shawn's eyes dart around before he begins laughing. "I put that trap there so he could stay put while I go find the idol. He tried getting Nichelle and Josee to go after me, so I'll take him on! He may be more book smart than I am, but out here in the wild, it's my world."
Conf end
Just moments later, we cut to Shawn, who is far away from Noah, finding the immunity idol under a rock. He smirks as he puts it in one of his vest pockets.
Day 76
We cut to Chris at the challenge where we see a giant pile of garbage. We first see the Water and Earth Teams walking in. Once they're settled in, the Fire Team joins. "Getting your first look at the new Fire Team… Alejandro voted out at the last elimination." Chris announces, getting smiles from everyone except for Scott.
Confessional: Scott
"That isn't good, I had a deal with him!"
Conf end
"Alright, it's time for your next challenge. As you can see, there is a massive garbage pile I gathered." Chris gestures to said garbage.
"It was nice of you to organize your family reunion." MK comments.
Chris rolls his eyes, but doesn't reply. "Anyways, you will have to search the garbage pile for your team's puzzle pieces. Your team will have five bright colored bags that carry ten pieces each, making it a fifty piece puzzle. The last team to solve it will determine which member of their team gets 16th place. BEGIN!"
…
We see everyone spread out to go and look for pieces. Josee goes to an area with metal pipes, even though there clearly aren't any bags in that area. We see a split screen of Noah and Raj going to opposite ends of a tall trash pile. They both dig around for a bit and find nothing, so they go to walk around it to look elsewhere. In an awkward twist of fate, they run into each other. Both stop instantly with some tension filling the air.
"Are you having fun today?" Noah asks awkwardly, not knowing what else to do.
"Um, not really. It's been kind of boring." Raj doesn't make eye contact.
"Oh… that sucks."
There is silence.
"We're the only two Yellow Team members remaining, isn't that cool?" Noah says, trying to come off friendly.
"Yup!" Raj nods.
"OBJECTION."
Noah and Raj quickly turn their heads to Chet, who has an annoyed look on his face.
"Oh no, not this again!" Raj groans in annoyance as Chet runs up to the duo.
"What?" Noah looks confused.
"In the castle challenge, he had this thing where-"
"Shut it!" Chet cuts him off. "You are a…"
"A what?" Noah urges him to finish the sentence. Instead of a finished sentence, he gets an obnoxious yell from Chet, who grabs a banana peel from the garbage and stuffs it in his mouth. This causes Noah to back away in disgust. "What is wrong with you? Who the hell would stuff a banana peel from the trash in your mouth?"
Raj slowly raises his hand, causing Noah to do a double take. Raj raises his arms in defense. "Hey man, five bucks is five bucks! You would do the same!"
"No, I very much wouldn't."
"Raj, stop talking to him!" a voice calls out, that being Mary, who is holding a bag she found as she runs up to the duo. "Gotta get more hockey sticks so we can start hitting pucks into the net!"
"Ooh, you're right!" Raj smiles in response to the hockey terminology. Noah gives a blank look towards Mary, who rolls her eyes in return. After a tense moment, they split up.
Confessional: Noah
"My social game is cooked… please cut out that I said 'cooked', I already regret saying it. Anyways, I've played better than before, but the bridges I've burned across all teams I've been on are very clear at this point."
Conf end
Confessional: Chet
"I didn't snap at those piss colored team losers, woohoo!"
Conf end
We see Shawn slithering through the garbage like a snake. While Scott is searching, Shawn pops out for breath near him while holding a bag, which startles Scott. "Woah! This isn't dumpster diving Shawn, what are you doing?" Scott asks in shock.
"I trained myself in going through garbage in case I need to hide in a landfill! You never know if-"
"Don't finish that sentence, I know where this is going." Scott rolls his eyes. "Anyways… what happened to Alejandro?"
Shawn nods with some respect at the bluntness. "Noah had an idol, and he voted for Alejandro. It was 4-1, and now Noah isn't happy with Nichelle and I." he replies.
"That's not good."
"Duh."
"Don't get snarky with me now." Scott narrows his eyes, which has Shawn roll his in return.
"But for real, we need him gone… if we lose again, he's 100% out. I'm just worried about what would happen if he made the merge." Shawn looks concerned.
…
Staci is rummaging through the pile when she sees a hook.
"Oh, a hook! My great great great great great great great great grandpa Captain Hook invented those! Before him, pirates had to use pieces of wood as a replacement hand!"
"No one cares!" every single person nearby says in unison.
Staci ignores them, instead turning her attention to a chainsaw that's also poking out of the trash pile.
"Woah, a chainsaw too? My great great great uncle Chandler invented them! Before him, axes were the only way you could cut down a tree. Possible, but not practical!"
"Shut up!" a voice says. It seems to come from the trash pile.
"Who said that?"
Emerging from the trash pile is none other than... The Escaped Psycho Killer With a Chainsaw and a Hook! Staci gasps at the sight of him. "Yes, gasp at the sight of my terrifying frame! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" the killer laughs.
"Oh, I'm not shocked because you're scary, I'm shocked because of how ugly you are!" Staci clarifies.
"What-"
"Your face is more hideous than Taylor's, and I didn't think that was possible!"
"Who the hell is Taylor?"
"A bitch, just like you! Haha!"
The psycho killer grits his teeth in rage. He brings his chainsaw up to Staci's face, but she doesn't react.
"Did you order that chainsaw off of Temu? I could buy that with the money I found stuck in between my third cousin Mandy's leather couch!"
The psycho killer turns off his chainsaw, instead raising his hook, Again, Staci doesn't seem intimidated.
"Ew, have you ever cleaned that thing? There's blood all over, I don't want someone's dead mother to touch my clear skin!"
"I thought the blood would add a dramatic flare..."
"No, it just looks unprofessional! You suck at being a deranged murderer, haha!"
"YOU'RE SO MEAN!" the killer whines before running off and crying hysterically.
Confessional: Staci
"For a killer, he's such a little bitch! My great great great great great great great great aunt Alison would never!"
Conf end
After a few moments, we see Staci with a bag. As Staci turns around, she sees Chet.
"Move, I'm going to look through-"
"Wait!" Staci cuts him off.
"What?"
"Remember in the last challenge where you told me there was an anti Yellow establishment? I would love to know more, I'm not a fan of Yellow either, haha!" Staci asks for information.
"Oh… erm, I've been making an effort not to focus on that too much. Millie has been helping me get therapy for it!"
Staci raises an eyebrow at this. "Haha, I wouldn't do that if I were you! Holding grudges is a good thing, that's why I still hate Taylor!"
Chet gives a curious look towards Staci before the camera cuts away.
…
While searching through the pile, Tammy and Lightning encounter one another.
"Hey viking, thanks again for helping me win the last challenge!" Lightning says.
"Of course! It benefited both of us, so I should say thanks as well." Tammy smiles.
Tammy and Lightning go back to searching in the pile, albeit still in close proximity.
"This challenge is dumber than a seahorse on a Thursday!" Lightning complains.
"Yeah, this being mostly luck-based isn't the best." Tammy agrees.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" someone screams in the distance.
"Did you hear that?" Lightning asks.
"What? The screaming, or that nest of baby birds chirping in that tree over there?"
"The birds." Lightning deadpans.
"Oh-"
"NO, THE SCREAMING!"
Tammy and Lightning turn their attention to its source: Josee charging towards them at full speed, holding a metal pipe.
"RUN!" Tammy shouts.
Lightning and Tammy run away from Josee, but she's faster than the latter. She hits Tammy in the head, but her viking hat keeps her protected.
"Ha, can't hurt me if I have this on!" Tammy taunts.
"FUCK YOU, DIE!" Josee roars.
At this point, Lightning has already escaped. Tammy continues to run, when she suddenly comes up with an idea. She stops dead in her tracks, causing Josee to slam into her and collapse onto the ground. Tammy grabs the metal pipe out of Josee's hand and chucks it as far away as possible.
"NOOOOO, MY WEAPON!" Josee cries out.
We cut to Lightning, who finally stops running.
"Phew, I think I lost her!"
The pipe falls out of the sky and hits Lightning on the head, knocking him out.
…
Elsewhere, we see Nichelle putting on gloves. "This is disgusting! I would rather be back on the set of Garbage Gore!" she complains. She gives a stern look towards the camera. "That movie was early in my career, it doesn't define me!"
Nichelle goes in and digs around the garbage. Moments later, a racoon pops out and jumps into Nichelle's arms. This causes her to scream and drop the racoon, but it lands on its feet. "Get away from me, I don't want a disease!" she shrieks. The racoon heads into the garbage pile, allowing Nichelle to breathe a sigh of relief. That relief doesn't last for long however, as it comes back out with an orange soda can. "I said go away!"
The racoon shakes its head and points towards the soda can. Nichelle has a confused look. "That soda reminds me of Zee, but…" she trails off. The racoon nods and points towards the can once again. "Wait, are you that racoon Zee carried around in our season?"
The racoon nods.
"Sorry buddy, he got eliminated ages ago. He's at the Loser's Lounge. I can help you find him later, but I need red puzzle bags!" Nichelle says apologetically. The racoon goes into the pile and comes back out with a red bag. "OMG, thank you!"
…
Cody and MK are, you guessed it, searching for a bag.
"With how late into the game we are, you'd think Chris would be better at coming up with challenge ideas by now." Cody shades.
"Eh, he's probably just running out of ideas." MK responds. "May I remind you that one of the challenges I had to endure was literally just red light green light but with Chef's roided up grandma throwing paint balloons at us?"
"The one where Millie flopped?"
"HEY!" Millie shouts, overhearing the conversation.
"Yep, that's the one." MK snickers.
"Speaking of challenges, I'm admittedly a bit worried about the merge. I fear I won't be able to win any of the challenges." Cody admits.
"Don't doubt yourself, you can do anything you set your mind to!" MK encourages.
"Really? That's sweet of you to say-"
"I'm kidding, you suck at everything."
"Oh." Cody gives a blank stare. Right after that, he finds a bag in the pile, which causes a big smirk to grow on his face. "I suck at everything, huh?"
MK rolls her eyes. "Do you want a pat on the back?"
"Uhm-"
"Don't answer that. Let's get our bags to our station!"
…
Elsewhere, we see Raj throwing random pieces of garbage as he looks for a bag. His search doesn't go to plan though, as someone interrupts him. "HEY! FROZEN WATER BITCH!" Sugar's voice booms as she stomps her way over to the alternate captain. Raj holds in a groan, instead opting to talk.
"I-" is all he gets out before being cut off.
"Shut it! You think you could leave me to get attacked by animals and get away with it?!" Sugar snarls. Raj sighs, feeling kind of bad now that it isn't the heat of the moment.
"I'm sorry…"
"WHY WOULD YOU BETRAY ME?"
"No offense, but you were being a bit… irritating." Raj says. Sugar gasps.
"WHAT ABOUT ME IS IRRITATING?!" Sugar stomps.
"Well…" Raj doesn't want to say it out loud, but Sugar stomps again.
"Say something!"
Raj takes a deep breath. "Everything about you is irritating! Every other word that comes out of your mouth is you yelling nonsense, and I think my hearing is worse because of you alone! You took credit for my idea in the last challenge because you somehow have less brain cells than me that you had to latch on to me! Even if someone helps you, you don't thank them, my hockey sticks have more manners than you! Oh, and my sister wanted to check out your spinoff series. We watched it and I fell asleep one minute in, and she thought that it was so bad that she hasn't watched another reality show since!"
Sugar gasps. "EXCUSE ME?!"
"Let's not even get started on your obsession with being the center of attention. It's like you have some need for validation that stems from a serious lack of real talent. You always make yourself front and center, taking the spotlight to try and cover up that you are MID at best.. And your "talent" – what even was that? Singing like an off-tune parrot that just heard its first note? It was painful to listen to!" Raj continues before he widens his eyes in shock at what he said. "Um… that may have been a bit harsh. Sorry, I just-"
"THAT DOESN'T HURT ME!" Sugar cuts him off with a yell before she runs away in tears.
Confessional: Sugar
"So, that's how he feels? Well, I'm just gonna beat the tar out of his team! They'll have no choice but to vote him out!"
Conf end
Confessional: Raj
"Even though it's how I feel, I feel kind of bad now! Am I the asshole?"
Conf end
We see quick cuts of multiple people getting bags for their team. Lightning, who has recovered from being knocked out earlier, gets a bag of his own. He goes to bring it to his team's station, but on the way there he notices Millie. "Girl, have you still not found anything?"
"I'm trying my best! This is a luck challenge before we get to the puzzle, it's out of my control!" Millie apologizes. Lightning glares at her before running off, causing Millie to gulp. The camera cuts to Staci throwing a piece of metal behind her, which accidentally hits Mary in the head. Mary falls to the ground, which earns Staci a glare. We see Sammy, Shawn, and Scott all find the last bag for their teams at the same time.
"Wow, what a coincidence!" Chris marvels at the soon to be dramatic puzzle finish. "There aren't 12 pieces, so this shouldn't take too long!"
Cody, MK, and Millie take charge for Water Team's puzzle, Mary and Tammy take charge for Earth, while Noah and Nichelle take charge for Fire. Despite having more people, three people working on the Water Team is proving to be a "too many cooks in the kitchen" situation.
"One of you needs to back off!" Sammy warns. Millie decides to do it, but it's too late.
…
….
"Earth Team finishes first, while Fire Team finishes second!" Chris announces. "Water Team, one of you is going home!"
The Water Team exchange looks, but the most notable is Lightning being angry at Millie.
Confessional: Lightning
"Now the team should be well aware of who really needs to go! She didn't contribute anything!"
Conf end
Confessional: Millie
"Yup… I'm scared, again. I miss phase 2!"
Conf end
Cut to Water Team
"I'm scared…" Millie frowns while rubbing her hands together. "I didn't do well in the challenge!"
"Again." Sammy shakes her head. Millie frowns at the shade. "Anyways, we should keep hope alive. MK would be fine targeting one of Sugar, Lightning, and Cody because of their Ruby Team connection."
"Can it be Lightning? He's my biggest detractor." Millie requests. Sammy laughs at this.
"Millie, that's probably the worst option. He's our best player. I don't want to target Cody either as I get along decently with him, which leaves…"
"Sugar." Millie smiles. "Do you think MK was being sincere in targeting one of them? From my notes of our first season, she has an 80% chance of lying at any given time!"
"Really?"
"Yes! If I had my notebook, I would show it to you."
"Alright… but she's our only option."
…
"Millie is finally sha-gone!" Lightning cheers in a circle with Chet, MK, Cody, and Sugar.
"Girl is useless, time to cut bait." Sugar agrees with a grin.
"Cool." MK says while Cody nods.
"Count me in! She implied I wasn't smart in our last therapy session, can you believe it?" Chet asks. The other four slowly nod, causing Chet to growl. "Rude!"
…
We later cut to MK and Chet alone. "Chet, we need to talk."
"We literally are talking." Chet replies.
"Oh… true! But for real, we might need to flip on our alliance." MK states matter of factly.
Chet looks a bit surprised. "Why would we do that now?"
"Think about the ruby connections dude, if Millie goes then they will control half the votes. Do we really want to be in a spot where we don't control things if we lose?" MK asks.
"But what if the merge is soon? Then we'd be burning the others for no reason."
"To be blunt… I don't think they're aggressive enough players to go on a revenge tour. I've known Cody for years, he isn't that type of person. Lightning is dumb, flat out. Sugar would be a problem, which is why it'd be smart to send her home." MK responds.
"Millie is weaker and I have problems with her though…"
"Isn't she your therapist?"
"She is, but that doesn't take priority over REAL allies. She's still useless and could be a vessel of propaganda." Chet replies. "But like I said, my bigger worry is Cody and Lightning being angry."
"No matter how angry Lightning is, he'd still vote out Millie over us."
"I don't know…"
Confessional: MK
"Chet and I went back and forth on what to do tonight for about an hour, but we did come to a decision."
Conf end
Cut to Water Team at the campfire ceremony
"Welcome Water Team! Somewhat shockingly, you have been the best performing team this phase. Sadly for you though, that wasn't so helpful tonight. Get voting and we'll see who you blame for your collective failure." Chris gestures at the team to vote.
Voting
"I've been saying it for days, you're a liability. Sha-bye bye!" Lightning waves at the camera while voting for Millie.
"There's only room for one big girl! Bye bitch!" Sugar holds her vote for Millie.
"It's you or me… and I won't feel bad if it's you." Millie votes Sugar.
"You always seem so confident, but I don't think you're quite ready for this one." Sammy smirks while holding her vote for Sugar.
Cody timidly writes a name.
Chet calmly puts his vote into the urn.
MK's eyes shift before she writes a name down.
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 with the most votes will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… Sugar."
Sugar frowns.
"2nd vote… Sugar. That's 2 votes Sugar."
Sugar glares at Millie.
"3rd vote… Millie."
Millie gulps.
"4th vote… Millie. That's 2 votes Millie, 2 votes Sugar."
Millie and Sammy exchange a glance.
"5th vote… Millie. 3 votes Millie, 2 votes Sugar."
Millie looks nervous.
"6th vote… Sugar. That's 3 votes Sugar, 3 votes Millie, 1 vote left…"
Sugar raises an eyebrow while Cody and Lightning give worried looks.
"85th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…

…
…
…
"Sugar. That's 4, it's time for you to go."
…
"OH HELL NO!" Sugar quickly stands up in anger. "YOU GUYS DID NOT JUST DO THAT!"
"We did though." Millie says casually, only increasing Sugar's anger.
"FUCK YOU! Fuck all of you! Everyone was rooting for me, THEY ALL WANTED ME TO WIN!" Sugar begins to tear up while screaming like a dying cow. "You are all the worst people in the world, depriving the world of more of my talent! I deserve that ten million-"
"Take her away." Chris says sternly, done with Sugar's rage. Sugar realizes that Chef is about to take her out, so she runs off to the boat of losers. "As for the rest of you, congratulations on making it to the final 15. That is no easy accomplishment, especially after two and a half months of living off meager supplies.".
Confessional: Lightning
"How the hell is Millie still around?!"
Conf end
Confessional: Chet
"I made the move that's best for my game even though I had some problems with Millie… I feel like my therapy is paying off!"
Conf end
We cut to Chris alone at the campfire. "Well, we have completed ¾ of this season's episodes! 85 people have been eliminated and 15 are left. Who will go home next time? Found out on the next episode of Total Drama Ultimate!"
And that's it for Episode 39! Alright, so why was I gone? Basically, I just didn't want to deal with the pressure of everything. I want to have fun writing, but when I went to write scenes, all I could think about were the possible comments complaining about who gets eliminated or who I choose to keep. That made thinking about writing not fun, because it didn't feel like I'm writing for me anymore. (I changed things this season to appease readers in ways I regret) Obviously, I doubt anyone is crying at this elimination, but some future eliminations are definitely going to hurt, and I don't feel like getting a rant about 'why is so and so still around!' or 'so and so is robbed!' So, I stalled for two months, how fun! It's not a good reason obviously, but I just felt a lot of pressure and that no matter what I did, people weren't going to be happy. I'm not blaming reviewers for leaving feedback btw, I love how active the reader base for this story has been, I just get stressed out easily and don't want to disappoint people after amounting a pretty good reader base.
Thanks to everyone who dmed, reviewed, and asked where I was. It showed that the interest is def still here, let's hope this finishes!
Sugar- Sugar was fun to write for, it's easy to write someone that obnoxious. She was a good strategic force on the Gray Team early on, and she didn't do badly on Ruby either. Her downfall came on the Water Team, but got delayed because I pushed some previous eliminations forward for pacing.
15 are left!
Questions:
1. Thoughts on our eliminated camper?
