A/N: Welcome to the final five! We're this close to finishing the season and I'm excited. I never enjoyed how pointless this episode felt in canon. I mean if you're only going to have one reward challenge in the merge you might as well not have a reward challenge.
The recap begins with a panning shot of the Serengeti plains. "Last time on Total Drama World Tour!" Xena and Topher sinking in quicksand is shown, followed by Jo and Brick facing down the lion. "Africa, come for the safari, stay for the near-death experience!" Xena is shown running down the course as the other contestants stood by and shot soccer balls at her. Then Eva getting hit in the head by two soccer balls. "Here we played a few rounds of the world's favorite game."
The intern is shown in the cage, followed by several contestants taking their shot, and Chris opening Eva's eye after they'd all been hit by tranqballs. "And then we went on a wild intern hunt." Jo pinning the intern down is shown, followed by Alejandro shooting her, then Xena and Topher both shooting at the intern and their balls bursting. "After a wild game of who shot who Xena and Topher were both the winners!"
Noah is shown being kidnapped by the mandrill. Then Brick is shown arriving while Noah's hair is groomed, asking politely, then he and Eva are shown kicking monkey butt. "Meanwhile Noah managed to get himself stolen by monkey's resulting in Eva and Brick having to rescue him."
Chef is shown making his decision at elimination, followed by Alejandro's elimination and the two of them jumping off the plane. "In an ironic twist it was both Alejandro and Noah to take the drop of shame, the former due to the aforementioned monkey kidnapping."
The recap ends with Chris in the cockpit as usual. "Can it get any wilder? Oh yeah it can! It's final five time, right here on Total! Drama! Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!"
Intro
A stage light pops up in front of the CN tower, we switch to the interior of the plane as another light pops out of the ceiling, outside the plane a camera pops out of the engine startling a raccoon, we see a suitcase pop open and a clap board is used. The camera moves through first class passing a drink cart on the way and causing Chris to jump out of the aisle.
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;
(Chef is in the cockpit, the cook gives the camera glare as it passes through. The camera moves past several baggage trucks.)
You guys are on my mind!
(The camera moves past the CN tower and dives into the water.)
Ya asked me what I wanted to be,
(Lightning is swimming in the water when he spots a shark and begins to fight with it.)
And now I think the answer is plain to see!
(Harold stands on top of the straw roof of a hut on a woven boat. An oar flies threw the air to hit him.)
I wanna be...famous!
(Amber and Topher are fighting on the boat, and it is clear one of them accidently hit Harold in the tussle. Crocodiles leap from the water snapping their jaws. The boat moves off screen and we see a crocodile wince on the word be. The camera moves back to the boat revealing it had run into an inflatable raft where Alejandro is standing. Amber panics and tries to help while Topher just laughs.)
I wanna live close to the sun!
(The camera moves to the statue of liberty, we cut to the top where Brick is offering Jo a helping hand, only for her to grab it and body slam him instead.)
Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!
(Tyler runs past the two, pushing a baby carriage holding Noah. Max is nearby and the jock trips over her, sending Noah flying out of the carriage and into a sign.)
Everythin' to prove,
(Noah lands in Eva's arms as she stands on a tundra. He gives her a grateful smile.)
Nothin' in my way;
I'll get there one day.
(We pan right where Amy rolls her eyes. A polar bear taps on her shoulder and she looks horrified, but then Dawn and Ella calm the bear and Amy smiles.)
'Cause I wanna be...famous!
(We zoom in past ice caps to see Duncan and Gwen surfing a giant wave. It seems to be too much as they are swept up in the surf.)
Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa
(Xena and Anne Maria are walking across a New York City crosswalk. They are startled as the jet passes them, sending leaves through the air. We switch to a scene of the contestants in a human pyramid atop the jet, wearing parachutes and kicking in beat. The bottom row contains Jo, Anne Maria, Harold, Max, Xena, and Brick. The first row up contains Topher, Amber Alejandro, Eva, and Noah, the next row up contains Duncan, Gwen, Amy, and Tyler, on top of the pyramid is Lightning holding Ella and Dawn on one of his shoulders each.)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(The plane passes big ben,causing the clock face to pop out. It passes the arc de Triomphe causing a mime to drop his croissant. It flies past a rock balancing on.a stone pillar, knocking it off and causing it to fall in front of the camera kicking up dust)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(The dust clears to show, Ella and Dawn smiling at one another, It pans to show Eva glaring, then down to Jo.)
(The lyrics end and we see Chef Hatchet glare. He turns the plane, sending all the contestants falling through the air in parachutes. Everyone but Max lands in front of a sign with the show's name on it. As the song ends Max lands face first in the middle of the group)
The episode proper starts in first class. Xena is currently sitting in one of the chairs reading. Topher meanwhile is digging through a cartful of candy. "Are you sure you don't want any? It's your prize too,"
The overlogical girl scoffed. "That food has no nutritional value whatsoever. There is no merit in eating it."
Topher smirked. "A reward is something to enjoy. It doesn't have to have merit. Lighten up."
"As I do not have any way to produce bioluminescence I cannot lighten up." Xena replied.
Topher rolled his eyes and stood in front of Xena. The overlogical girl continued to read her book, pointedly ignoring him. The blonde smirked and grabbed one of the carmel apples from the cart. He deliberately bit into the apple as loudly as possible. Xena made no sign of reacting. He bit into the apple again. This time her fingers tightened on the book. He did it a third time.
Xena lowered her book a small amount. "Seeing as you are clearly not going to leave me alone, the only logical thing to do is to address you. What exactly do you want?"
Topher chuckled. "I'm glad you asked. You see, you're on your way to being this season's villain and I'm here to help you."
Xena raised an eyebrow. "Villain implies that I have some kind of malicious intent. I do not. I am merely making the decisions I believe to be the logical for the outcome I want."
"Whatever. Point is, I'm willing to team up with you. After all the other three are pretty strong competitors." Topher said.
Xena sighed. "I suppose the only logical thing would be to take you up on your offer. Although you have been shown to be untrustworthy in the past. How can I take your words at face value?"
"You saw how hard I tried to help Alejandro last season. I want to make this show the best it can be, and that means getting the villain as far as possible." Topher replied.
"That does collaborate with your past desires. Fine, but only temporarily. And I will not be saving you from yourself." Xena said.
[confessional]
Xena: The moment I can get him eliminated I will.

In economy class Eva is sitting on the left bench alone while Jo and Brick sit on the right bench, though notably they are sitting as far apart as possible. Brick looks over at Eva and sighs. "I feel so bad for you. You have no allies all of the sudden."
Eva scoffed. "Please, I can get through the rest of this game myself."
"Still, I wouldn't mind helping you out. I mean, Xena and Topher are in first class. They could team up. In fact maybe all three of us should team up." Brick said.
Jo turned to him. "Oh sure, not only do you come crawling back to me but you want to get another girl involved?"
"I don't see how Eva being a girl plays into anything?" Brick said.
"W-well. I guess it doesn't. The fact is you want me to accept you back after you abandoned me, and let another person in on top of that! She'll only bring us down!" Jo snapped.
"Bring you down?! If anything you'd bring us down! With all your stupid hang ups and fights with Brick!" Eva snapped back.
"Oh really? You think so? Fine then, why don't you team up with him and we'll see who comes out on top this challenge!" The jockette said.
"I don't need Brick to beat you, but if you're not going to take him up on his offer I will!" Eva said.
"Fine!" Jo huffed.
[confessional]
Brick: Why is Jo so against Eva joining us?
Static
Jo: Before you start, jealousy does not play into this. I just want to prove to Brick and I'm the only strong girl he needs in an alliance. Like seriously, does he think we can't do it alone? That I'm so incompetent that we need another member? [She gives the camera side eye] Stop looking at me like that, I'm not jealous!
Static
/
Chris, and Chef are in the cockpit. Chris was talking into the intercom. "Attention passengers please prepare for landing." Chris looked at Chef. "Come on, just let me fly it once. What could it hurt? It's technically my plane, you know?" Chris reached for the controls and Chef slapped his hand away. This quickly turned into a slap flight between the two of them. The view shifted to outside the plane where we see it begin to dive.
The plane fell into a proper dive, and this was when Chris finally took notice. "Oh no! Whoa!" The plane crashed into a moai statue causing it to fall over.
"Gosh darn it!" Chef complained.
/
Xena and Topher are walking to the fallen moai statue. "Yet another piece of world heritage ruined by Chris' incompetence. I will be surprised if he is allowed in half the countries in the world."
"That's Chris for you, great at causing drama wherever he goes." Topher sighed happily, eating a piece of taffy from his basket of candy.
Jo, Eva, and Brick arrive. "I'm going to crush the two of you!" Jo told them.
"Please. I could beat you without Brick, with him you have no chance." Eva scoffed.
"You seem really into the fact that Brick is teaming up with you." The jockette glared.
"It was your idea, and you're projecting." Eva deadpanned.
"I am not!" Jo insisted.
Topher smirked at Xena who nodded in response.
[Confessional]
Xena: Jo seems to have let her emotions cloud her vision once again. It could be useful.
Static
Topher: This is so perfect! Jo is clearly jealous of Brick being kind to Eva! [He chuckled] I'm gonna have a good time.
Static
We see the final five walking up from the beach onto the greener part of the island. They all look a bit tired when they get there. Chris greeted them from off screen. The contestants gasped as they took in Chris' attire. The host was wearing nothing but a loin cloth, some fur boots, a necklace, and a two-tiered feathered hat. There were some kind of paint markings on him.
"Gah!" Jo screamed. "My eyes! I need brain bleach!"
"Sir! Should you be wearing something like that on television?!" Brick asked.
"Nice." Topher chuckled. "A little stereotypical though."
Chris rolled his eyes. He quickly regained his hosting grin and continued with his introduction. "Welcome to Easter Island AKA Rapa Nui. Place is old." the host pointed at one of the Moai statues. "These dudes were carved so long ago no one even remembers why anymore. Ten bucks says it was a dare."
"Actually there are several theories-" Xena began.
"No one cares Xena." Chris told her. " Today, you, our final five, are going on a highly traditional Easter Island egg hunt." The host continued.
"That is not a tradition." Jo told him flatly.
" we're not talking chocolate eggs either. We're talking eggs laid by birds, you know those flying things with feathers and talons, and vicious kill-you-in-a-second beaks?" Everyone but Xena and Eva looked concerned.
"Speaking of which," The Host pulled out four feathered headdresses in different colors. "Traditional feathered Rapa Nui headdresses. Wear them with pride chickens."
Xena's headdress was blue, Jo's red, Brick's green, Topher's purple, and Eva's Orange. Chris led them further up the island and continued talking. "Hidden in these head things, are a bunch of colored eggs that match the color of your head things."
"Your ignorance about other cultures continues to astound me." Xena deadpanned.
"Your challenge is to find three eggs in your color, then make a break for the massive underground cavern system" Chris continued, ignoring Xena. The entrance to a cave is shown followed by an exit further up. " and book it all the way up to the highest point on the island. Reach the top with all three eggs to begin the second part of today's challenge."
"What happens if we drop an egg?" Brick asked.
"You'll have to come all the way back here for a replacement egg-"Chris answered. Xena raised her hand in unison with Topher. "And no, you cannot take a backup egg." They both put their hands down in disappointment. "First to the top gets a big advantage in part two. Now scramble!"
/
Xena and Jo stood before two statues. "These look disturbingly familiar." The jockette said.
The view pulled out to show a statue that looked like Topher and one that looked like Dawn
Xena nodded "It is the eliminated contestants." Several other heads were shown, one that looked like Noah, Tyler, and Gwen. "and it seems despite coming back Topher still has a facsimile."
Jo climbed up Dawn while Xena got on Topher.
The jockette looked in Dawn's hair and pulled out a blue egg. "Dang it."
"Blue is my color. I would be willing to look out for your eggs in exchange for-" Before Xena could finish Jo dropped the egg.
"Oops." The jockette smirked. She reached into Dawn's head and pulled out two red eggs. "Sweet."
"If I find an egg for yours I will be sure to destroy it." Xena told her.
Brick has climbed onto a head that looks like Alejandro's. He grabbed a green egg perched in between his two pronounced clumps of fly away hair. "It looks like he's still of some use."
"That is more than I can say for Topher." Xena noted, putting her hand in his giant stone ear. "Empty headed as usual."
At this point Brick is reaching into Alejandro's earring to grab an orange egg for Eva. "I can give it to her later."
Meanwhile Topher has found Anne Maria's head. Like the statue of Alejandro there is a purple egg in her earring. "Even now you're awesome." Topher smirked.
Eva standing next to Duncan's statue. "Ugh! I never should have listened to you!" She said angrily, stomping on the ground. An orange egg fell off of his mohawk. Luckily Eva had the great reflexes to catch it.
Xena is shown taking a blue egg perched on one of Amy's bangs. "I think I have noticed a pattern in the placement of my eggs." As she climbed down from the top she paused at Amy's ear, reaching in to find a red egg. "If Jo refuses to help me it is only logical I do not help her." She said dropping the egg to the ground.
Brick is pulling one of his green eggs out of Harold's nose. "That's two." The focus shifted over to Eva at Noah's head. Brick smiled and walked over to her. "Hey, I found one of your eggs." He handed it over.
"Great, I found another egg on Noah. So that's all three. Uh, in exchange I can help you find your last one?" Eva suggested.
"That would be nice." Brick said.
The focus shifted over to Jo, who was watching. She huffed. "I'm fine on my own! Obviously. I have two eggs. I just need to find one more."
"I don't know." Topher smirked. "It's kind of strange that he'd want to team up with Eva only after you shook him off?" He smirked. "It's almost like he's trying to replace you."
"Shut up Slowpher!" Jo snapped. The blonde smirked knowingly and walked away. The jockette kicked the nearby Lightning head. A red egg fell into her hand. "See? I don't need anyone!" She smirked. "Now I just need to figure out how to carry these…"
[confessional]
Jo: If only I had three hands.
Static
Topher was shown, this time climbing up Amber's head. One of his eggs is perched on her braid. "Even when she's not here, she still makes for a good rival. This one is hard to get."
Xena grabbed a blue egg placed on Ella's bow. She jumped down with a roll to absorb the impact. "Perfect, and I believe my third egg will be." She walked over to Tyler's head and grabbed an egg off of his 'shoulder'. A smile took her face for a second, then she regained her usual look. "I need to focus. If I can weave a basket I can carry my eggs up."
[confessional]
Xena: I asked Brick to teach me to weave after the second challenge. It seemed like it would be useful.
Static
Eva and Brick are shown looking around Gwen's head. The iron woman pulled out a green egg from her hair. "That's the last one! Now we just gotta find a way to carry these."
"No problem. Give me a minute." Brick smirked.
/
Topher has all of his eggs and has placed them in the candy basket that came with. Xena walked over to him, a basket of woven grass now holding her eggs. "Good you are finished. I was not going to wait for you if you were not."
"Whatever, let's get going." Topher said. The two headed into the cave. Behind them Jo followed, her eggs now in the hood of her hoodie.
Brick is shown finishing his own basket. Eva also had a basket clearly woven by him. "Okay! Come on! Everyone's ahead of us!" The iron woman told him. With that they to went into the cave.
/
The two interns we've seen before are pushing the moai statue the plane knocked down up as Chef uses a rope to pull from the other side. They seem to be making progress when Chris' voice comes through a walkie talkie. "This is king of all Chrisdom seeking bittybaby over!" Chef scowled and picked up the walkie talkie, in doing so he let go of the rope. The moai statue crushed the interns. "When you're doing slacking think you can give me a hand?"
/
Inside the cave Topher,and Xena are walking up a hill. Ahead of them is Jo running.
Topher groaned. "How much further do we have to go!"
A noise could be heard from off screen. Xena's widened. "That sounds like something is ahead.
Ahead of them Jo gasped. "Look out!" A boulder is shown rolling down the cave towards them. All three have to duck to the walls of the cave to avoid being smashed. The boulder rolls past and we see Eva and Brick heading up the cave themselves; they cry out and also duck to the sides.
"Where'd that come from? Eva asked.
/
At the stop of them island Chef is rolling boulders into the cave while Chris laughs. The host faces the camera. "We've got tons more fun, literally. Right after this on Total Drama World Tour!"
/
The episode returned to show Chris and Chef still at the top of the island with the boulders. "Welcome back to Total Drama World Tour. We're here on beautiful Rapa Nui, where somebody is about to go Rapa Splat Splat. Wait for it." Chris said as Chef prepared to roll another boulder in to the cave.
/
In the cave Brick and Eva are running. "Hurry up! We have to make up for lost time!" Eva said.
"Yeah, but we also need to be careful. I don't think even you could take down a boulder like that." Brick told her.
"Please I could handle that thing." Eva scoffed.
"Even if you can, you won't be keeping all your eggs intact. If we have to go back, we'll be even more behind." Brick pointed out.
Eva took a deep breath. "I hate that you're right."
"Don't worry, we're gonna catch up." Brick reassured her.
"We'd better. I am not losing to her." The iron woman vowed.
/
Up ahead Jo, Xena, and Topher seem to be making okay time. In fact Jo is quite a ways ahead. Then a boulder rolls down the corridor. Jo managed to dodge, but her hoodie hit the cave wall, breaking one of her eggs. Xena and Topher also managed to dodge, but an egg fell out of Topher's basket.
"Great! Now I have to go back!" Jo complained, running back down the cave.
"I guess we have to go back too." Topher said.
"Negatory. You have to go back. I still have my eggs, and the terms I set were that I would not be saving you from yourself." Xena said.
The blonde chuckled. "Fair enough."
/
Further down in the cave Jo runs past Eva and Brick. The iron woman smirked. "You broke an egg trying to hurry didn't you?"
"Shut up!" The jockette said.
A little later Topher ran past as well. "I'm not surprised he broke one." Brick noted. He gasped as one of his eggs began to crack. "I didn't drop it! Did I hold it too hard or something?"
"I don't think it's breaking, I think it's hatching." Eva said.
"Hatching?" Brick questioned. When the egg finished hatching the chick had a bald head and black curved beak, its body was covered in fluffy white feathers. "What is it?"
"You think I know what every bird is?" Eva asked. "Come on, we gotta keep going!"
The bird perched on Brick's head. "I'll have to be even more careful now."
/
Back at the heads Jo and Topher are frantically searching for replacement eggs. "Ugh! There's gotta be an egg somewhere!" The jockette said.
"I wouldn't have put it past Brick or Eva to have broken all of yours." Topher smirked.
"Shut up! Eva maybe but you don't know Brick! He's too honest for his own good!" Jo said, searching the nose of the Max head and pulling out a mouse trap that went off on her, a fake gun that shot out a flag, and a glob of strange green goo. "Nice." Jo rolled her eyes.
[Confessional]
Max: I booby trapped my own nose! [He cackles]
Static
"I'm just saying, you know they're conspiring against you." Topher remarked pulling an egg out of the Max statues' ear.
"Oh come on!" Jo complained, kicking the Max head. A red egg fell out of the other nostril. "That's more like it!"
A loud cry pierced the air as a gigantic shadow flew over the two of them.
"What is that thing?" Topher gasped.
"I don't know but it's huge!" Jo said as the bird was shown in all it's glory, "And I think these might be its eggs!"
"We gotta get out of here!" Topher screamed. The giant condor dove for them.
"RUN!" Jo screamed. she didn't have to tell Topher twice as the two ran with the condor all too close.
/
Eva turned to Brick in anger. "Seriously that thing is slowing us down!"
Brick sighed. "I have to bring it with me. I don't have the egg anymore."
Eva rolled her eyes and looked forward. "Xena's right ahead, come on!" She ran forward and Brick cupped the chick close to him as he followed suit.
Xena looked at the two of them. "I see you've caught up."
Before anyone could say anything Topher and Jo ran past the three of them. "Ugh. We lost our lead!" Eva roared.
Brick looked back and his pupils contracted. "That's the least of our problems!"
The condor arrived with a loud cry the focus on it as it closed in on them. All three contestants screamed and ran. Xena wasn't going too fast, so Brick picked her up.
Outside the cave Chris is measuring a gigantic Moai head that looks like Chef. The contestants run out of the cave. First Jo, then Topher, Brick and Xena, and finally Eva. .
"Wow you guys are really competing!" Chris grinned.
All the contestants screamed some variant of "Close the cave!" At him. Chef moved to do so, pushing the giant Moai head into place. The cook had just moved it into place when the Condor arrived. The sound of the condor running into the statue could be heard as a flurry of feathers flew out of the cave.
"Oh man. So close." Chris frowned. "way to ruin the fun. We may as well move on to the next challenge. Since Jo was the first one out," He threw the catcher's mask to Jo.
"I'm… playing baseball?" The Jockette asked, clearly still shaken up by the near death experience.
"Thankfully no." Chris told him. "You must climb this rock pillar," The host gestured to a tall rocky spire. At the top was a large nest. "All they way up to-"
"A giant bird's nest?" Jo gasped.
"You already know they can get pretty crabby, but did you know female condors are even bigger than the dude birds?" Chris asked.
"That is standard in birds of prey." Xena deadpanned.
Another cry filled the air. They all looked up to see the mother condor. "She's huge!" Topher gasped.
"Yep, twelve foot wingspan." Chris told them.
"Please, that's nothing." Jo said, though her eyes gave away her fear.
"Then why are your eyes so wide?" Topher smirked.
"Topher you'd better shut up or I will give you wide eyes!" The jockette said.
"See, she's kinda peeved cause you guys stole her eggs." The host explained.
"We didn't steal them, you did!" Eva screamed, looking ready to maim Chris.
"It does not matter. We have them, so she will come after us." Xena deadpanned.
"So now you have to try to shimmy up to the nest and give them back. In the order in which you arrived here. Of course mama's got a whole lot more eggs up there so she's bound to be a tad protective." The host continued. Now in the nest, the mother condor let out an enraged cry.
Jo placed her catcher's mask on. "Whatever. I have the advantage so I'll win."
"Just be careful, it could peck out your pretty eyes." Brick said.
"Did you call me pretty?!" Jo snapped.
"It's a good thing!" The cadet told her.
"Deposit all three eggs and you win." Chris resumed. "and if nobody makes it we'll try it again! It's gonna be that much fun."
Jo moved to begin his challenge, eggs still in the hood of her hoodie. Before she could start Chris interrupted.
"Oh and one more thing."
The jockette groaned. "Seriously? What could you-"
A familiar ding went off. "It's for your own protection. Keeps the birds calm. I'm lying. Or I'm not. You choose."
(Song twenty- five: Condor.)
Jo began to tap her foot to the beat, and dance. "I'm tall, I'm strong, I'm young, I'm sporty." The jockette started to climb up the pillar. "I'm coming to bring back your chick's now."
She was about halfway up now. "So, quiet you dumb, condor. I'm gonna win this one, see."
Jo made it to the nest and began placing eggs into the nest. The condor started pecking at her, but the catcher's mask prevented her from getting hurt. "So try, attack me But, I have protection. I don't feel that pecking. So Hope there's no objections. Quiet, condor, Let me in the final four."
The condor hit Jo with one of its wings, knocking her onto the ground. The egg fell after her, landing directly on her face.
"Next!" Chris called.
Topher sighed, we see him as he climbs the pillar. " I, oh, I-I-I... I'm not fond of these condors... fond of these condors."
He'd made it to the nest at this point. "Why? Oh Wh-y-y-y... Does this show not get more views? I wonder..."
The giant condor seems to be enjoying his singing briefly, but it's not long before she starts glaring again. "Trust me, oh, trust me-e! I'm a true friend, and I'll never touch your eggs agai-i-in!" Topher fell off the pillar to the ground breaking his eggs in the process.
Chris: That's a shame. Brick, Xena, you arrived at the same time so why don't you both go?
The two contestants started climbing opposite sides of the pillar.
Brick took a deep breath as he climbed " Why are these challenges, always so dangerous?!
Xena dragged herself up, clearly tired. "I agree this terrain's, not advantageous!"
They both reached the nest to find the condor enjoying the singing again, but the moment she saw them she was on alert.
Brick and Xena: So, hush, Condor! Let me into the final four!
Brick puts the hatched chick in the nest first, before he could do anything else, the condor batted them both out of the nest and flew after them.
Chris: Eva?
The Iron woman began to climb the pillar. "I How I-I-I... How I really hate these condors, And I'd like to live to see much more."
Eva reached the nest and began to put her eggs in. "These, these stupid birds. they're bringing me strife,
The Iron woman turned to see the mother condor diving for her. She didn't flinch. "Better back off," The mother condor neared her and Eva picked up the chick and held it over the side of the nest. "Cause Danger's rife!" She dropped the chick. "Let me win or, it'll be its life!"
The condor dove to catch her chick. Eva smirked as she set the last of her eggs into the nest. "Yes! That's one smart condor, Now I'm in the final Four!
The other four contestants looked annoyed."Eva takes the win!" Chris cheered.
The mother condor returned with her chick on her head and her mate with her. Together they dove for her again. "I didn't think this through!" Eva screamed just before she was knocked out of the nest.
Meanwhile at the bottom of the island Chef and the two interns have finally managed to get the Moai statue they'd knocked down. Just as the cook was giving them a thumbs up, Eva hit into the Moai statue. Which hit into one of the previous contestants heads, which hit into the next as so on until all of the contestant heads were knocked over. Like a set of domino's. Chef watched on nervously.
/
Back on the plane Jo's in economy class. Eva walked in and sat next to her. "What do you want? I know you and Brick are going to vote me out!" The jockette said.
Eva took a deep breath to calm herself. "I'm only going to say this once, so listen. I get it."
Jo gave her a confused look. "Get what?"
"No wanting to show weakness? Wanting to win no matter what? Desperately trying not to fall for a guy you're technically going up against? I know what it's like. You've got something to prove, even though you shouldn't have to." Eva said.
Jo's eyes were wide. "Yeah, you do get it."
"Anyway, I'm not voting for you. If I'm going to end up in the finale with anyone, it'll be someone as strong as me. I'm not about to lose to a weakling." The iron woman said.
Jo smirked. "In that case, I think I know who we should vote off…"
/
The final five are at elimination as Chris looks over the votes. "The first person to be nominated for the drop of shame is Jo, next vote Topher, next vote Topher, and the loser is ..." Chris paused as the tension mounted Topher and Jo looking at each other. "Topher!"
"Yes!" Jo cried.
"Really?" Topher huffed.
"You've been awful since you got here." Brick said.
"Yeah, and you've been trying to mess with me!" Jo said.
"I just think you're annoying." Eva admitted.
Xena was silent.
Topher smirked. "Well to be honest I'm not even upset. So long as there's drama I'll always win!"
"Whatever. Can we get going now?" Chris said.
"Sure, but know that there's someone else plotting against you all!" the blonde said, jumping from the plane.
/
[Confessional]
Xena: Once I found out Topher was due to go home I voted for him as well. There was no logical way for me to keep him here. Not that I wanted to. Now, I just need to make it past the next challenge…

Chris is shown in the cockpit with Chef to close out the episode. Chris reached for the controls and Chef slapped his hand away. "Ow! Come back next time for more spills, chills, and planet endangering thrills right here on Total Drama World Tour!"
A/N: So this elimination might be a shock to some, but since Topher is a returnee I didn't want him to make it past the final five. I still think he accomplished more than Blaineley did canonically. His main reason for being here was to push Xena to her limit, a bit like Scott did in season one. Now that we're this far in and now that Xena's taken on a more logical, but unethical, approach to the game he's not needed anymore.
As for why he didn't reveal Max? Why should he? Max is going to cause drama. As far as Topher's concerned he bolsters the show.
The whole Eva, Brick, Jo pseudo triangle thing makes sense to me. Eva is very similar to Jo, and Jo's still hurting from Brick's 'betrayal' last challenge. It just seems very Jo like to assume that Brick's desire to be helpful to someone who just lost their support is his way of replacing her.
And it lead to what I've been wanting to write for a while Eva acknowledging that she gets where Jo is coming from as she has similar problems. Plus Eva is totally the type to want her final opponent to be strong, and not some weakling unworthy of her. That said, don't expect Jo to trust Eva completely. Xena is going to be looking to exploit any emotions she can, and Jo's the best target due to her inability to trust.
