Responding to Reviews:
LaCuevademisgustos: Thank you, it's interesting to know more about Shawn's background without feeling out of character. Little by little the characters develop as their screen time requires...this is not Carnival of Fan-Service and Forced Romance.
Guest: I don't know if you're the same one who review with the title of the episodes, but please stop doing it.
Dunsparce519: Thanks for reviewing, yes, I understand your conflict with the Swap AU's, I have them too. BUT unlike others and as I said at the beginning, in this one the majority of the characters' personalities are respected so that it is more organic and interesting.
Please, if you like this story and you didn´t review, do it when you have time

"Last time on Total Drama Island..." Chris narrated as scenes from the last episode were shown, "We took our teams to test their intellectual level in an interesting trivia game, while trying to keep their teammates from going swimming with the piranhas for some of their stupid mistakes. In the end it was the Rats who won thanks to Silent B's surprising wit and musical taste, while the defeat and embarrassment went to Leonard of the Maggots, who turned out not to be as academically good as he claimed to be."
The scene cut to Chris at the dock, "After this surprising cut we are left with 25 participants, who will be the next to go? Find out soon, here and now on Total...Drama...Island!"
(Theme Song plays)
It was morning, in the luxurious cabin most of the Toxic Rats members got up early to go to breakfast, until they were surprised to see nothing on the table.
"Damn scammers" Sugar complained, "They promised they would give us a delicious breakfast as soon as we woke up"
"Delicious and heavy breakfast" said Amy who seemed to have been here before, "Dad says we should watch what we eat to be more balanced for battle, so now you're going to eat whatever I tell you to eat"
"You can't do that" Jasmine protested, "You're not ours...", she blew her whistle in his face which made her shut up.
"As I was saying, I've decided on a simple meal" the blonde soldier took out a tray full of sandwiches, "Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches"
"Sweet! I love that" said Cameron excitedly until he looked at the breads, "Excuse me, my mom I always cut off the crusts."
"Eating the crusts makes you stronger, now eat up!" Amy gave everyone their sandwich, some shrugged and even Sugar swallowed it whole and Ella's
"Uh, no thanks, I'm fine" Jasmine said when Amy offered her a sandwich
She frowned at her, "What? Isn't that on your actress diet?"
"It's not that, I just can't eat it"
"Ha, I knew you couldn't be so resistant to humble dishes like this"
"Would you stop being so annoying?". That's how Amy angrily lunged at her and tried to shove the sandwich into her mouth
"Eat it!"
"NO, wait, I'm allergic to peanuts...", however the sandwich had gone into the Australian's mouth, and in a few seconds her cheeks swelled up like a squirrel with nuts. Everyone there gasped.
"Ah, what's wrong with her?" Amy exclaimed worriedly
"She's having an allergic reaction" Rodney explained equally worriedly, "We need to give her an injection, if we don't do it soon she'll die!". Cameron screamed hysterically at this
"Look, she has one" Sammy pointed to an anti-allergy injection Jasmine had in her pocket, but when she took it, Amy tried to take it from her.
"Give it to me! I can do this!" she proclaimed, both of them fighting over the injection
"Girls, we have to help Jasmine!" Cameron told them as they both dropped the injectable and it ended up sticking into Jasmine's arm, a few seconds later she returned to normal while gasping for air.
Confessional (Jasmine):
"I almost died" she said haltingly, "And the truth is... no, I wasn't excited, I have a serious problem with peanuts, that's why I'm on a strict diet in the first place"
End of the Confessional
Meanwhile, outside in the woods, Scarlett was jogging, until suddenly Mike appeared doing the same and joined her.
"Hey, you run in the mornings too, huh?" he said
"Yeah, I have to keep my coordination correct and stable" she replied while gasping for air.
"Could you give me some advice? I'm planning on entering Olympic activities"
"I don't know, we're on different teams and...". Just as they approached the cabins, Max appeared out of nowhere and ran until they reached the stairs.
"HA, first!" he arrogantly proclaimed, "How does it feel to lose against a master of sport?"
"We weren't competing, we were warming up" Scarlett corrected rather annoyed.
"Aha, nice excuse"
"Master of sport?" Mike asked, "Who's?"
"Well me, you fool! I'm the one who manages to dominate in every sport that comes along"
Mike laughed hysterically, "You? Don't make me laugh!"
"Besides, a master must be in good physical condition," said Scarlett, "I couldn't say the same about you."
"It's a biological thing, carrot" Max mocked, "My height is just a disguise to camouflage my true power."
"The power to tell lies..."
"Attention, competitors!" Chris called from the speakers, "Head to the side of the beach near the Mess Hall..."
Once at the designated spot, all the competitors gathered there, lined up in their respective teams
"Welcome to today's challenge" greeted Chris, "This one will have an aquatic theme"
"Now that's good" said Sugar, "I have my swimsuit ready that I won Miss Sheldon in last year"
"It won't be necessary for everyone, especially you, Sugar"
"Oh, don't worry" Ella consoled the blonde, "I bet you would have looked good"
"Don't try to use trash dialogue on me, little..."
"SILENCE!" called the host for attention, "The first part of the challenge will consist of swimming to one end of the water and taking the bags full of fish bait". Far out in the water on a small floating dock were three bags with a fish logo on them, "Pick your best swimmer, because whoever gets there first will get a nice reward for their team."
"Easy enough" Jo said, "Mike the Olympian will go."
"Um, are you sure?" he asked a little nervously, "I'm just not a very good swimmer."
"But you're an Olympic athlete, you must be a good swimmer."
"I just don't feel comfortable with that much pressure."
"Yeah, we should leave him alone" Beardo suggested.
"Good idea, Beardo" Scott said mockingly, "Let's let Mike be a chicken..."
That's when the word 'chicken' entered Mike's mind, when he suddenly gasped and looked at Scott out of the corner of his eye.
"What did you call me, you dirty dingo?!" he said with a faint accent.
"N-nothing!"
"Well..." he walked to the shore, looking at the ocean and then at his team, "I'm just doing this so you know that Manitoba Smith is never a chicken!"
Confessional (Zoey):
"I'm glad Mike is such a brave person" she said, "Though I don't understand why he decided to take another name, but hey, nobody's perfect."
End of the Confessional
"I guess a real athlete should go in the water, right?" Max suggested to his team-
"That's why I'm going" Scarlett said as she stretched out to swim.
"Hey, who called you?"
"Well, you, don't remember?"
Confessional (Max):
"It doesn't matter, if she fails, everyone will know who's better than her by infinity plus infinity" he said arrogantly.
"That number doesn't exist!" Lightning was heard speaking from outside.
End of the Confessional
"Could one of us go?" Sammy suggested to her siste.r
"No, we don't have a license to invade aquatic areas yet" Amy said, "Remember that dad wants the rules to be followed to the letter"
"In that case I should go" Jasmine said walking straight to the dressing room.
"And why you?"
"She looks capable enough to swim long enough" Rodney said, "I'm just saying."
"Thanks, Rodney!" Jasmine called before walking away, leaving Rodney red as a tomato.
Confessional (Rodney):
"She said 'thanks, Rodney'..." he said lustfully.
Confessional (Shawn):
"Pfft, love, I consider it a pest just like zombies, only it's more of a distraction and brain-eating accessory" he said bitterly, "I don't believe in any of that, in love, clearly."
End of the Confessionals
Now we cut to the three volunteers standing on the shore of the beach, already dressed in their swimsuits. "Mike" in a beach shirt with green shorts, Scarlett in an orange one-piece suit and Jasmine in a white bikini.
"Alright swimmers" said Chris with the horn in his hand, "On your marks, get set...". When the horn sounded the three of them jumped into the water and started swimming, several teammates cheering them on from the shore.
Scarlett and Jasmine were neck and neck until "Mike" snatched them up, "See you later, Sheilas!"
"Sheilas?" said Jasmine totally confused.
Mike then arrived at the dock and climbed up to grab one of the bags full of bait, he laughed when he had it in his hands. "Good on ya for me!"
"Hey, you never said you were from Australia!" Jasmine said as they reached the dock.
"And you better get out of the water to follow me, mate" he mocked her, "Unless you want to look like a dead dingo's donger!". He dove into the water to swim, making Jasmine grimace angrily.
Confessional (Jasmine):
"I'm not someone that sensitive, but that guy said four typical sentences without any kind of grammatical or contextual order" she said looking offended, "And I hate those kind of people so much"
End of the Confessional
Soon after she grabbed the bag, Jasmine dove towards 'Mike' in the water, trying to immobilize him
"Apologize!" she protested while trying to stop him from escaping.
"NEVER!" he exclaimed trying to escape, letting Scarlett take the last bag and swim back to the shore
"What childrens" Amy said annoyed seeing the two fighting in the water, "Couldn't she just leave him and come here?"
At that, Ella closed her eyes and soon pursed her lips, "Oh no, I feel a dark force approaching them..."
And indeed it was true, both Jasmine and 'Mike' sank still fighting without realizing that a figure was swimming around them. When Jasmine was about to hit 'Mike' she went blank, he turned to see what was happening and also reacted the same to her because of what was in front of them.
It was a shark, but not an ordinary one, this was much bigger and grey, it's fin was like a tail since it had legs and also arms, as well as having human-like eyes. The aquatic mutant showed its macabre smile, full of giant fangs before try to biting the contestants, who escaped, although 'Mike' was left to 'fight' the shark
On the surface, Scarlett managed to reach the shore, lifting the bag of bait
"Scarlett arrives first!" announced Chris with a megaphone, soon Jasmine also came out of the water, "Jasmine also arrived, and last but not least... Mike the non-chicken!"
Mike staggered onto the shore before collapsing onto the sand, having dropped the bag which was cracked and leaking some of its stuffing.
"Thanks for screwing up again, Mr. Brave" Jo scolded the boy.
"Don't blame me!" he excused himself, now in his normal tone of voice, "There was a two-legged monster shark down there!"
"You mean Fang?" Chris said, "Yeah, that's him, turns out biological waste can manipulate things underwater too, who knew?"
At that moment, the mutant shark known as Fang popped his face above the surface for a moment so everyone could see him and gasp in horror.
"Better them than us" Scott muttered to Lightning.
"Now that everyone's here, it's time for the rewards. Scarlett got there first, so her team gets the grand prize, a fishing boat with a fishing net included!" The prize team cheered. "The Rats get a second prize, a floating rubber raft equipped with three fish traps!"
"Oh, I remember fishing in the little lake with my mom," Cameron said nostalgically.
"And while the Maggost get third prize...wooden raft, not very sturdy and with a single fishing rod."
"What about fishing supplies?" Scott asked.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, you have a bag full of fish bait, perfect for catching fish, since today is the day we open the fishing season!"
"Well, now it gets interesting."
Dawn moaned sadly, "I guess mother ocean is going to cry tonight."
"Who else is going to cry at the bottom of the sea?" Chris said to the camera, "Find out soon when we get back..."
(Commercial Break)
Already in the water, the nine members of the Frogs were on their won boat, standing on the deck.
"Alright, team" Brick spoke in front of teammates, "Let's take advantage of the advantage we have to win as many fishes as possible, I'll be in charge"
"And why are you in charge?" Dave asked incredulously
"Because I'm the team leader, kid"
"Since when?"
"Haven't you been going to team meetings? The majority has voted that I was the best candidate to lead"
"Maybe so, but not here" Dakota said walking beside him, "Daddy and I won every yearly fishing contest, so it's obvious that with my experience I should be leading this entertaining activity"
"You mean a horrible genocide of this fragment of the ocean!" Dawn said, "There's no way I'm going to cooperate in this activity that is not at all in my principles"
"Too bad" Scarlett mocked, "Because when we lose, who are we going to vote for?"
"My dignity and perseverance for nature goes beyond a simple material prize"
"Anyway, we must first know how much bait to put in the net?" said Brick lifting the heavy sack
"'How much bait', fool?" said Max as she approached him with a challenging tone, "If we want to quickly win this silly challenge, we must release all our ammunition, that is, throw all the bait!". So he snatched the sack from him and spinning it like a ball he threw it, accidentally towards Dakota, causing her and the sack to fall into the fishing net, which due to its weight ended up submerging in the water.
"Are you crazy?!" Brick said alarmed.
"No, I'm madly at the peak of sporting genius!", Scarlett rolled her eyes at the purple-haired boy's words
"Quick, raise the net!"
Sky and Topher turned a lever that raised the fishing net back to the surface, which was now full of many fishes piled together and some came loose due to the little space there was
"Wow, that's a fish channel" Sam said amazed
"See? I was right" Max said proudly, taking a knife, "Now we have to get our loot...". He cut the rope of the net causing it to fall on the deck, leaving a large pile of fish flapping around, from that pile Dakota stuck his head out, frowning in disgust.
"Ugh, what's that unpleasant smell?" Dave asked holding his nose.
Topher grabbed the fish by the fin and stared at it, "Looks like we caught some tuna, nice"
"Nice? I stink just like them" Dakota complained, still trapped in the pile of tuna. 'Cause she got too close to them, her stench went from perfumed to smelling as rancid as an expired can, "Ugh, I smell horrible!"
"You don't, you smell good..." Sam tried to comfort her, sniffing around her.
Confessional (Sam):
The boy with the cap had his face on a large paper bag, "N-no, it's not!" he said as several gags could be heard from him.
End of the Confessional
Meanwhile with the Rats
"Alright, codfish," Amy said to her team, "We need to catch up to the freshwater frogs, we need to decide who stays to operate the traps and who swims to attract the fish."
"Uh, can I stay on the raft please?" Cameron asked, holding up his hand, "I just can't swim."
"Didn't you go fishing with your mom?" Rodney asked.
"Yeah, but in a little shallow lake where there were cute little ducks that..."
"Whatever, you, Rodney, and B will stay on the raft!" Amy said, "Us girls will go swimming so you can see if we can get some action." Both the farmer and the librarian looked at each other confused by what she said
"I don't" said Sugar, "I'm not going to get my hair wet"
"Don't worry, Sugar, you don't have to if you don't want to" Ella said softly
"That's why you're going to cover me" she pushed her into the water without further ado.
Confessional (Sammy):
"It's sad to see how Sugar treats Ella badly even though she's nice to her" she said empathetically, "It's not that Amy is just as bad, but sometimes her 'alpha' tone goes too far...please, don't tell her that!"
End of the Confessional
On the other hand, the Maggots weren't having a good time at all, they were standing close to each other so as not to fall through the narrow space of the wooden raft, secondly, their only fishing tools were the bait bag and a single fishing rod that could only hook one fish at a time.
"Okay, what should we do to make up for this?" Jo said pointing at the fishing pole in the middle of the raft, not wanting to pick it up.
"Why don't we use it to hook two fish at once" Lightning suggested, "That would double the time of doing it with just one"
"Wow, Brightning, that would be really cool, if IT was possible!"
"Actually, the internet said that you could do that" Shawn said
"Oh yeah, and what source did you see that from?"
"Is that important?"
"Of course!"
"Ugh, stop arguing!" Mike complained, then gasped and started talking like a grumpy old man again, "Stupid morons, how hard is it to do it the old fashioned way?". He grabbed a handful of bait and stuck it in the water, "You just take your baited hand, wait and READY..." he pulled out his hand which was sucked up by a large, flailing fish.
"Eww!" Zoey moaned, backing away as the fish peeled off of 'Mike' and back into the sea.
"Ugh, I'm not doing that," Anne Maria said, "Even in the farm they didn't make us do that."
"In that case, why don't you just grab the rod and stop complaining?" 'Mike' asked before realizing that said tool was missing, "And where the hell is the fishing rod?!"
They noticed Beardo standing with his back turned, seeming to be doing something, when he noticed their gazes he hid what he was doing behind him.
"What did you do to our fishing rod?" asked Jo
"J-just don't get mad at me..." said Beardo before slowly showing his work, it was a fishing net insanely large to fit the entire raft.
"What is that?"
"Since the fishing rod had a long enough line, I took it apart so I could wrap it around it until it was like one of the nets the Frogs have..."
There was a short silence until Jo approached the boy with an afro, "Beardo...", he closed his eyes waiting for a scolding, "You're a genius!"
Confessional (Jo):
"Sure, not as much of a genius as me, duh"
Confessional (Beardo):
"I thought they'd be mad at me, but they congratulated me! I guess there's no need to hide my ideas after all"
Confessional (Scott):
"That Beardo is pretty smart, and that's why he should go!" he clarified as she bounced a rock off the wall, "It's not personal, but I know that in these shows the big fish must die first, even if they are from the same pod, so if any of my teammates have good ideas, it will be their doom..." he smiled until the rock hit his face.
End of the Confessionals
Meanwhile, Dawn of the Frosgs looked at the boat at a box with all the tuna in it, some already turned into dead fishes due to the lack of water.
"Poor little souls" she said almost crying, "Hopefully in fish heaven you can find your right path"
Dave came closer to count the dehydrated fishes, "There are 30 tuna in total!" he said to his team.
"Excellent, I knew my plan would work and that huge amount will make us victorious" said Max 'honored'
"You better, I hope to take a shower soon" said Dakota, who was placed from far away so as not to scare the others by her now foul stench, "I just hope that cabin has soaps like I use"
"Rich girl..." Scarlett muttered under her breath before noticing something, "Hey, aren't those the Rats?"
She and the others could see the Rats' inflatable raft from that distance, how most of the girls were swimming in the water in order to attract the fish, and the boys putting the baited traps inside. When they pulled them out there were a ton of fish in them.
"That's it, we've got like 50 fish already!" Cameron said happily as he led the new ones over to the others put in a pile.
"UGH, I'm going to smell like fish forever!" Dakota moaned, knowing they were going to lose.
"Fear not, team, I came up with a plan to...sabotage those rats" Max said malevolently.
"NO, I will not allow foul play under my jurisdiction!" Brick said, objecting to the purple-haired boy's idea
"Me too, I'm an honest player" Sky said as well
"Well, who wants to win this challenge?" Dave asked, and everyone but the two and Dawn of them raised their hands
"What? But...cheating is wrong!"
"But Chris never said that stealing the other team's fish was against the rules" Scarlett said
"You? Of all people? You're an athlete, you're dishonest, and..."
"What DID you say?" The redhead stood in front of her, glaring at her.
"N-nothing!"
"Ugh, okay, just don't make us do something so bad" Brick said to Max.
"Calm down, cheerleader" the purple-haired boy clarified, "All we have to do is send someone to their area..."
Meanwhile, the Rats continued with their steady fishing function
"Sugar, don't eat the fishes!" Cameron told her, who was about to eat one alive.
"Pfft, a lady shouldn't starve with so much feasting!" Sugar complained.
Suddenly Jasmine came out of the water, "Look what I got!" she said holding a big fish, "It's bigger than... HEY, he's robbing us!"
The Australian pointed at the bark, it was none other than Sam, who upon being seen took a couple of fish and dove into the water. However, although he kicked and kicked, he didn't leave the point where he got in, letting the others watch him uncomfortably as the two fish escaped from his hands. The Frogs also watched this with cringe.
"Of all people, why him?" Scarlett asked Max
He replied, "He was the most expendable of all"
Meanwhile, the Maggots were working on Beardo's plan, they had filled the net with bait and lowered it into the water. After a while the net began to be pulled so hard that everyone had to hold on to it so it wouldn't sink.
"Pull as hard as you can!" Mike said to the others, however that didn't stop their raft from capsizing seconds later and everyone falling into the water. However, they soon resurfaced, on and holding on to the net that was now loaded with so many fish that they could all fit in there to hold on to.
"We did it, your plan worked, Beardo!" Mike congratulated his teammate who smiled in response.
"Attention, sailors!" Chris was heard speaking from the island with a megaphone, "Fishing is over, get your loot back to shore, pronto!"
"We've lost our raft" said Jo a little pessimistically
"But we've got these shape-fish with us" said Lightning more positively, getting behind the giant filled net and started pushing it from there, "We're going to win this!"
The other two teams had also heard Chris' call and started moving their boats back to shore, however the Maggots were in the lead.
"I really need a shower after this" said Zoey annoyed by the fish that had piled up in the net
"Don't worry, Red" said Anne Maria, "Not only are we going to win, but we're going to get there first!"
Confessional (Scott):
"And it would be a shame if we lost this" Scott said, sharpening a piece of wood with a pocketknife. "Listen, I know very well how this works. The other teams act based on how many strong and valuable players a team has. If I eliminate one, the others will be so confident of being able to win that when I'm alone in the merge, I'll totally overtake them..."
End of the Confessional
At that moment, Scott pulled out his pocketknife and without anyone seeing, he cut a few nets from the net, leaving a clear space.
"Hey, I feel like this feels less heavy" said Lightning who was pushing them
"Wait a minute..." said Jo before exclaiming, "Our fishes are running away!". Because of the large gap, the fish jumped out one by one, enough for the net to empty and it was no longer fit for everyone to stand on, leaving them in the water. And after that, all the other fish escaped freely
"Ha, look at those fools!" Max mocked as he and his team passed in front of them with their boat, "With that we can have a guaranteed victory"
Meanwhile, the Maggots members struggled not to drown, Zoey exclaimed in panic for being in 'dirty' waters until Mike made her hold on him. So did Scott, only he accidentally resurfaced on Anne Maria, in her big puff hair.
"Do I look like a lifeguard to you?!" she complained before shaking him off.
"Don't despair, we have to find all those stupid fishes!" said Lightning trying to find his escaped prey.
"Forget it, Brightning" said Jo, "Let's go!" And so all the team members swam straight to the shore, well, all except one...
"HELP!" Shawn exclaimed as he tried his best not to sink.
Confessional (Shawn):
"I'll have to accept it, by dedicating my life to self-protection against the undead, I may have forgotten to learn basic skills, like swimming"
End of the Confessional
Just then, the Rats sailed by, but only Jasmine noticed Shawn drowning.
She gasped, "We have to stop, someone can't swim and is drowning"
"It's his problem" Amy said as she continued rowing, "Only a useless person wouldn't learn to swim"
"You know what? Go on, I'll go get him...", and so, the Aussie jumped out of the raft to save the conspiracy theorist.
"Ugh, she'll booted next time..."
Shawn couldn't resist any longer and got tired, letting himself sink into the water, losing consciousness, until suddenly Jasmine grabbed him by both arms and lifted him to the surface. Seeing that he still didn't open his eyes, she quickly took him to the shore.
Almost everyone had arrived there, the Frogs and almost all the Rats were standing on the beach. Soon some of the Maggots arrived, almost all tired from swimming there, clearly wet. Without anyone noticing, Scott put his knife inside someone's pocket
"What happened, Maggots?" asked Chris, not very worried
"I don't know, the net I used was strong enough" said Beardo confused, "It can't be that it broke like that"
"Wait, what do you have in your pocket?" asked Scott out loud, pointing at him behind. The boy with afro took out what was in his back pocket, holding the knife in front of everyone, and both he and the others gasped.
"You sabotaged us?!" Lightning exclaimed, totally outraged
"I swear I don't know how this got here!" he tried to defend himself
"I do like the dramatic air, though," Chris said, "I see you castaways are missing a partner..."
At that moment, Jasmine arrived, holding Shawn before leaving him lying face up on the sand. Most gasped when they noticed him unconscious, and some gave Beardo guilty looks as if he was the one responsible for that.
However, soon Shawn coughed up some water and slowly opened his eyes, somewhat blinded by the sunlight, until he noticed a figure in his field of vision.
"Hey...are you okay, mate?" said Jasmine who was that figure in front of him, soon Shawn's vision cleared and he could see Jasmine's face, as well as her smile when she saw him regain consciousness. Deep inside he felt something he never expected to feel.
Confessional (Shawn):
"Do you remember what I said about love?" he said putting his hands on his chest, "I thought it was just pointless and risky, but...I just felt that with Jasmine, I feel like... my other biggest goal is to win her heart, figuratively speaking."
End of the Confessional
After said drama, Chris was counting the number of fishes from each team until he came to a conclusion.
"Well, the Frogs may have had a good amount of 30 fish..." Chris said, just before pointing at the Rats team, "But the Rats take the win by a number of 100!". Said team cheered for their second consecutive victory. "As for the Maggots, well, you have absolutely nothing! At least you'll be able to fill up on marshmallows tonight, well, all but one of you..."
Already at the ceremony in the evening, the Maggots sat by the bonfire, depressed by their second consecutive loss
"Welcome back, I guess you're not used to this routine yet, huh?" The host spoke, "Well, marshmallows mean you stay, otherwise, you go, Chef, who sinned today?"
"Just one of them..." Hatched replied before pointing harshly at one, "Beardo, you sabotaged your own idea, which not only made your team lose, but almost cost the live one of your teammates!" The 'culprit' was about to speak but was silenced, "Keep your excuses, think about what you did instead." The architecture student lowered his head, really sad and embarrassed.
"Everyone has made their votes, so your decision is closed" Chris spoke before handing out the marshmallows, "The ones who are safe are, Mike, Jo, Lightning, Scott, Anne Maria, Shawn, and not least...Zoey!"
As the last marshmallow was handed to him, Beardo frowned sadly, "I'm so sorry for what my ideas might have caused," he said as he stood up, "You really deserve better than me."
"We're sorry, take care," Zoey said sweetly as a farewell. And so Beardo walked down the dock, looking so sad as he boarded the boat and left the island.
Confessional (Scott):
"Yeah, pretty cruel what I did, but just so you know, my life working has been awful! So, don't blame me if I try to vent a little, because in the end, the real success story will be me when I win this, and no one's going to stop me..."
End of the Confessional
Final Comments:
"I guess I should have known I wouldn't get so far being so shy, socializing is vital in life and I think I can learn it right now while I meet more people" Beardo said as he continued to bow his head down since he set sail, "I should be braver in the things I do...starting with that apology for that construction incident".

Author's Note:
Hello again, first of all, sorry if some words are grammatically wrong, English is not my native language and it's a bit difficult to correct the automated translation when the text is long.
I like how the challenges try to be more original, like this one. Each character has their moment, whether to a greater or lesser extent, depending on how it's needed, I want to keep that absurd style that created the first seasons, was lost in the others and re-emerged in the reboot, like a pseudo slice-of-life.
This week's boot ended up being Beardo, he didn't have much to do other than show his shy personality more than in the canon, so I think I did something right in including the final comments. Also, here begins the "romantic" plot of Shawn and Jasmine
Next week, our teams will get down and dirty in a challenge that involves capturing a being as elusive as noble of nature. Have a great day.
