Total Drama World Race- French Is An Eiffel Language
Recap
The recap begins with Chris and Blaineley in the pilot compartment "Previously on Total Drama World Race we took the competitors to Morocco for a stew eating challenge." Chris began.
Blaineley continued, "On Team Amazon, Cody and Mickey questioned each other about either of them having a crush on Kitty both denying but which one is lying."
"On Team Victory, Tyler began to have regrets about the Beth vote and wanted to tell Lindsay, but Damien talked him out of it, elsewhere Leshawna forced Harold to start talking to Ezekiel and iced Harold out. Given how much Harold loves Leshawna he did try to make things right with Ezekiel, but it was very awkward at best." Chris explained.
"But the real drama last time was with Team Style, Dave and Alejandro completely tanked at the challenge. Jen felt so insecure after an underwhelming performance but had Trent give her a massive prep talk. While Dave revealed to Alejandro who he felt great about, specifically his allies Noah, Eva, and Owen. Which Alejandro quickly took note of." Blaineley told.
"At the end of the challenge Courtney, Sierra, and surprisingly Jasmine secured immunity for their teammates. Which left Team Style heading to the elimination and armed with Dave's information about his allies, Alejandro exposed Noah's alliance and managed to turn a lot of the team against them, however both Dave and Sky's alliances together had enough votes to tie. At elimination many people were blindsided when the vote was 8 to 6 sending Dave home." Chris told in detail.
"Initially the top suspect was Jo due to her anti Dave stance heading into the elimination, but it was later found out it was Julia that was the double crosser, and she closed the episode saying that her treachery had only just begun. I figured she was gonna be a vapid goody two shoes." Blaineley claimed.
"Eh, she will give us some good ratings. Tonight, the teams are in for a fright and maybe even a fight to say the least and one more will be eliminated, right here, right now on Total Drama World Race!" Chris proclaimed excitedly. "Cue theme song."

(End Of Intro)
Economy Class
The episode begins showing Jo sitting by herself and no one near her as she took the brunt of the Dave blindside as many people on the team blamed her. Justin walked past her, as Jo tried to talk to him "Hey pretty boy, do you have a moment?" Jo asked.
"Yeah no, I can't be associated with you." Justin said looking anywhere else.
"What? Why not?" Jo asked in anger.
"Because you are untrustworthy and a flipper in this game." Justin explained coldly to Jo.
Jo was stunned and frustrated at what Justin just said. "But I didn't flip. I didn't do anything wrong. I don't know who the eighth vote was to send Dave home, but it wasn't me." Jo protested in anger.
"Man, you need to really work on your lying abilities. They are so pathetic." Justin said, walking away as Jo growled at him in frustration.
"What an asshole." Jo said to herself.
Confessional- Justin
"Why would I ever work with Jo? She is someone who either pushed her agenda way too hard to get Dave out or didn't and is still very untrustworthy. Besides Trent and maybe Bowie, I am with a team where I don't have many allies, and aligning with her? Yeah. No chance."
Confessional- Jo
"This is so frustrating. I get my reputation is not great at all. But it's so frustrating to have no one believe me. It's hard to figure out where to go when no one actively wants to talk to you or listen to you, maybe it's best to just fly completely solo. I don't know how I can survive but I bet whoever betrayed the group is laughing so much."
Confessional- Julia
"Haha. This vote flipping was the best thing that could have ever happen. Noah's alliance is falling apart as there is no way he can keep Eva and Owen from ripping each other's heads off. Or more so Eva ripping Owen's head off. This girl alliance is done, I have Sky's loyalty and Jen is lost in space. Absolute chaos. Jo will soon be gone as well"
Back To Economy Class
The camera flashed to Bowie and Duncan, with the former looking out the window as the latter was carving something on the bench. Bowie looked over, "Ooh that looks like Gwen". Bowie began to say.
Duncan however was not pleased with Bowie trying to tease him, "If this isn't about Courtney or Gwen we can talk and be friends. If not, then I'd rather sit here in awkward silence."
Bowie took the cue and decided to stay silent, even if everything in him told him that he should continue to stir up drama and pry Duncan.
Confessional- Bowie
"Duncan is one of the most frustrating individuals I have ever had to deal with. Any fool can tell he is more into Gwen than Courtney, but he is too chicken shit to admit anything and now he is just shutting down, I guess. Talk about frustrating."
Economy Class Other Side
The mood luckily for Team Victory was a lot happier despite never being in First Class due to them managing to avoid elimination last time. The camera panned to show Millie, Leshawna, Lindsay and Jasmine all talking as Lindsay was braiding Leshawna's hair and Jasmine was braiding Millie's.
"Hey Leshawna, how are things going with you and Harry?" Lindsay asked.
"Harold. I mean things are still the same between him and I." Leshawna said in a slightly nervous tone.
"Really even after the kiss back in Egypt. I figured you two love birds would be together mate." Jasmine explained.
"Yeah, he is head over heels in love with you." Millie said.
"No, we haven't even talked about that kiss since it happened, and I kind of sent him to talk to Ezekiel and work that whole thing out to delay him and I talking." Leshawna explained her side of the story as she looked dreamily at Harold when she was done which Jasmine quickly took note of.
"You guys should talk things out though as it is clear there has always been something between you guys. I mean the way you look at him, is absolute love." Jasmine said excitedly.
Millie was the next one to speak as she wanted to give her input "That and forcing Harold and Ezekiel to interact I'd say is making the team dynamic kind of awkward to say the least."
"Oh, come on, it's not that bad." Leshawna stated defensively.
The camera panned over to Harold who was sitting by himself as Ezekiel walked by "Hey Harold eh, how are you?" Ezekiel greeted.
"Fine, just fine." Harold said awkwardly as Ezekiel walked away as he felt like Harold didn't want to talk to him.
Back with the girls Leshawna watched the awkward interaction and cringed, "Well if anyone can lift people's spirits up it's Harold." Leshawna said as she smiled, before her face fell. "I just don't know if I want to enter a relationship. It would put such a target on our backs, and while I trust you girls, I also don't want Harold getting caught in the crossfire." Leshawna explained.
"If you guys don't mind me asking, can we change the topic?" Lindsay asked as the girls all nodded their heads. "Great, I was just wondering who you guys voted for in New York. I'm still trying to make sense of who voted for who." Lindsay explained as the Beth vote was all that was on her mind.
"I voted for Ezekiel. Mainly because I was always gonna vote in line with Harold." Leshawna said.
"I know that I voted for Beth, and I assume Millie did too." Jasmine said, looking over to Millie, hiding the fact both girls were actually working together.
"I did. Sorry we sent your best friend home by the way." Millie said, looking down at the ground with a tinge of guilt in her voice.
"It's fine Minnie. I am just trying to figure out how she got 9 votes. I know that me, Beth, Cameron, apparently Ezekiel, Leshawna, and Harold didn't vote her out so that means." Lindsay had a sudden realization "Tyler voted Beth out."
"Or Ezekiel did." Millie spoke up as she knew that Damien didn't want any tension or anger directed towards Tyler.
"That's true Minnie, Tyler would never lie to me." Lindsay reasoned back to the wrong conclusion as Millie gave a breath of relief as Leshawna and Jasmine looked at Millie's reaction with raised eyebrows.
The camera panned over to Cameron and Ezekiel who just sat down with his closest ally. Cameron immediately decided to start the conversation "How are things with Harold? Is it getting any better between you two?" Cameron asked.
"It's still very awkward to say the least, eh. There's a lot of tension between us, it's not easy to rebuild with someone who publicly cussed you out less than a week ago." Ezekiel told Cameron.
"Well, I am sure that things will get better between you two." Cameron reassured Ezekiel. "Your guys' personality types should get along in due time."
"Personality types? What do you mean by that, eh?" Ezekiel asked as the camera flashed away as Cameron began explaining.
First Class
In First Class the first thing shown is Heather staring down the meat grinder again as the last challenge proved it was for nothing. Unfortunately for Heather she couldn't dwell on it too long as she went right for the bathroom as her stomach was upset after the last challenge as she digested more stew than she should have, "Ugh I hate Chris!" Heather yelled off screen.
Courtney was watching the scene and couldn't help laughing at Heather's predicament, same with Gwen, "I find it hilarious she is so paranoid about a damn meat grinder. Who cares what the purpose of it is for." Courtney told Gwen.
"Oh, and her being sick as well, is also karma for her. Thank you, karma." Gwen also noted. "But that meat grinder has to come in handy at some point, I'm not as obsessed with it as that witch is. But it should be important down the road."
"Maybe, but for now I am gonna enjoy watching Heather be miserable, agreed?" Courtney asked.
"Oh you definitely don't need to ask me if I ever feel pity for her at all." Gwen reassured Courtney. "The day I feel pity for her, I dread what I'll be acting like."
Elsewhere in the plane, Emma was shown looking out the window wistfully as Chase walked up to her, "Hey babe. How's it hanging?"
"Don't you ever know to leave me alone?" Emma said.
"No, because we are still together because deep down, I know you still want me." Chase told Emma as Emma shoved Chase aside. "Oh come on babe."
"Leave me alone or I am gonna push you again and shove your face in the couch here." Emma told him. Chase took the signal and decided to walk to another area in First Class.
Emma was shown talking to herself after that to calm herself down, "This has been so stressful. Chase being here has ruined this whole experience, why can't he just get the hint that things are over between us."
Zoey decided to walk over to Emma as she didn't want to be near Anne Maria and saw that Emma was tense.
"What's wrong?" Zoey asked Emma.
"It's just the stress of the game. Having my ex boyfriend here just ruins this experience so much for me. I have a question, Zoey." Emma said, explaining her thought process to Zoey.
"What is it?" Zoey asked, curious what Emma was feeling.
"Have you ever been in a relationship before this show, and had to deal with an ex?" Emma asked, desperate to find the solutionto her problem.
"No, unfortunately not. I haven't yet, even if I would love to." Zoey said, looking over to Topher in admiration before realizing she still needed to keep talking to Emma. "But regardless, I will have your back in this whole situation." Zoey assured Emma as the scene cut away.
Common Area
Blaineley and Chris had finally gathered everyone into the common area to begin the challenge as Chris was feeling indifferent while Blaineley was excited. "Alright travelers time to begin the next challenge as we'll be soon in Paris, France."
"Oh my gosh, Paris. That is the fashion capital of the world." Jen cheered in excitement.
"That it is, Jen. However this challenge will be more sinister than pleasurable as we should be docking pretty soon." Chris told everyone as Blaineley and Chris lead everyone outside the plane as people like Jen and Lindsay looked on in excitement while others like Mickey and Cody looked concerned. The former due to the fact Chris called it sinister while Cody didn't want to deal with Sierra for the challenge.
Confessional- Emma
"Maybe this challenge I could tell Chase that we are over just so he can get it through his head and move on like I want to."
Confessional- Sierra
"Paris, France?! This place is the city of love, this is the perfect place for me and Cody have some alone time. Nothing more romantic than this place."
Confessional- Noah
"Paris? Yeah not my cup of tea at all. I just hope today I can have a challenge where we don't lose and I lose an ally, or worry about losing Owen most of all and then we win. It's not fun at all dealing with that stress."
Confessional- Jen
"OMG! Paris. Eeeeeee! If I get any extra time after the challenge, I am going shopping as I know there's a good sale going on somewhere here and the fashion brands are top notch."
Confessional- Ezekiel
"It's nice to have a challenge. I could be of some use, eh. As I actually speak fluent French but knowing Chris it'll be useless. I hope not."
Right Outside of The Plane
Everyone was standing outside the plane in their respective teams as everyone was just outside the plane and airport. As Chris whistled to get everyone's attention "Attention. This challenge is a 3 parter."
"That's right Chris. Our first challenge will take place at the Eiffel Tower as each of you will select one person from your team to draw a caricature of everyone else on your team. Next part is a giant maze of the catacombs of Paris. Get out of there and there will be cheese wheels where from the wheels of cheese you have to paddle to the Louvre of Paris. The first-place team gets to enjoy first class. Second place gets immunity while last place will be sending another player out the door." Blaineley explained.
"Now pick your artist." Chris said.
"As much as I don't like her, Gwen is our best shot since she actually draws unless anyone has any objections." Heather stated.
"I…. Actually, that's a good idea Heather. I'll do it." Gwen said, shocked Heather volunteered her and for something she is potentially good at.
"Don't get used to it. Besides, if we lose, it's your neck on the line." Heather stated revealing her ultimate motive to get Gwen as the fall guy if they lose.
"Geez thanks." Gwen stated in an unamused tone. "Still underhanded as ever.
On Team Style, Jen immediately raised her hand to volunteer, "I like to believe my awesome fashion sense will make me our best shot at drawing. But does anyone else want to go for it?" Jen asked.
"I don't have a problem, a girl as lovely as you could obviously do this." Alejandro stated in a charming tone with Jen giving a blank stare. "Was it something I said?"
"No… let's just head to the Eiffel Tower." Jen said very awkwardly as Trent raised his eyebrows in confusion as Justin was right next to him trying to not laugh.
Confessional- Jen
"That's so weird for Alejandro to flirt with me. Yes, he has a great body. That can't be denied. But he just acknowledged me for the first time. I don't feel anything."
Confessional- Justin
"Did you see that pathetic attempt at flirting? Alejandro is not someone I trust at all. But that made my day. Maybe I have more MOJO than he does. Or maybe Jen is just someone who doesn't take to blatant flirting. Then again, she is close to Trent, and he was the heartthrob when we were in The Drama Brothers. I don't know why since I'm a professional male model. But whatever."
Back To Scene
The camera showed Team Victory with Millie having the material for the drawing, "Thank you guys." Millie said happily.
"Okay, so it's Jen, Gwen, and Millie drawing the caricature of their teams. Now to the Eiffel Tower which we will be going there on foot." Chris explained as he began walking.
"Seriously Chris we can't even take a low rent bus?" Duncan asked in annoyance as he wasn't in any mood to walk that far.
"No, now get walking so we can start this challenge." Chris said sternly.
"Awe, does someone want to be a lazy slob?" Courtney asked in a patronizing tone, trying to antagonize Duncan.
Before Duncan could say something, Jo walked by in annoyance "Can it, piercings we have a challenge to win."
As the teams kept walking, the camera zoomed in on Scott and Gwen, who were trailing behind the rest of their teammates as neither were looking forward to the challenge today. But for Gwen she had something else on her mind as she wanted to reestablish where her and Scott stood after their awkward conversation at best in Japan.
"Hey Scott, is there any way we can un-pause our conversation from Japan?" Gwen asked.
"I'll allow it. What do you wanna talk about anyway?" Scott asked.
"Courtney. I just want to apologize for insinuating you may have liked her when you looked at her in Egypt. It's your business who you like and who you don't." Gwen explained as she thought of how awful she thought she was. "Looking back, I sounded like Heather which is not a good feeling to have to say the very least." Gwen explained.
Scott looked around making sure no one was within earshot as he began talking "Look. Okay you weren't completely wrong. I do like Courtney in a romantic sense, that being said I'm not going to do anything until Courtney and Duncan break up. I am not a homewrecker." Scott said as he glanced at Courtney, "But you can't tell anyone about this. It's new territory for me and it's a weird feeling to have. I've never had a girlfriend back home," Scott told Gwen, getting giddier as he thought about Courtney.
"Trust me, my lips are sealed. I'm not going to be the dumb gossip type. I promise." Gwen said.
"Great. Thanks, I suppose. Look, have you talked to Cody and let him down?" Scott asked, as he didn't want to get into the specifics of his crush on Courtney and instead wanted Gwen to update her status in the game.
"I haven't. It's kind of hard-to-get alone time on this team. Especially since Cody either has Sierra breathing down his neck or he is with Mickey and Kitty. Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if I don't have too. I mean look at him." Gwen noted as the camera quickly panned over to Cody, Mickey and Kitty as Cody was laughing with them as the camera panned back to Gwen and Scott. "See? He loves those two so much." Gwen stated. "At times I wonder if he's.." Gwen began to say until Scott spoke up.
"Even if that's true. Don't you think it's possible that Cody feels indebted to you?" Scott asked, not catching what Gwen said at the end.
"Indebted? What could you mean by that? Cody doesn't owe me anything." Gwen explained, shocked at what Scott was saying.
"Cody may feel like he has to love you or feel attracted to you, I mean he was hitting on you during the first challenge." Scott told Gwen. "I still think it's best for you guys to talk it out. Especially if you want to end up with you know who." Scott teased as he looked over to Duncan which Gwen quickly picked up on.
"Shut it." Gwen said quietly, not wanting her feelings towards Duncan be known.
Over at Team Style while people like Jen and Owen were excited, Jo had an annoyed look especially as Alejandro was walking right by her and she wanted to be nowhere near the person she voted for last time.
However, for Alejandro he saw this as the perfect opportunity to taunt Jo as he enjoyed seeing her game completely go down the drain "Oh Jo, you should make sure you don't abandon any of us today. Especially your allies. If there are any left that is." Alejandro taunted.
Jo rolled her eyes at Alejandro and his insults "Piss off Ale cockroach, you shouldn't even be here as I'm innocent."
"Whatever makes you sleep at night." Alejandro said in a condescending tone, the camera soon panned over to Brick who cringed at the exchange between the two of them.
"Hmm" Brick said after he was done slightly cringing. "I wonder if Jo..."
Confessional- Brick
"Alejandro is my closest ally in the game, but I have to admit it's pretty tough to see Jo be a complete outcast. Regardless of this being a game, it's hard to watch the taunting and isolation. I wanted to say something, but I was a coward at that moment."
Back To Scene
After Brick's rather somber confessional, the scene flashed to Team Victory showing Shawn, Jasmine, and Millie walking together. While Millie was excited to prove herself and Jasmine had a look of rather indifference. Shawn was shown to be very freaked out to say the least as he was twitchy while walking.
Jasmine quickly took note of Shawn's state "What's wrong with you Shawn? Not excited for the Eiffel Tower?" Jasmine teased.
"No. It's the catacombs. All those skeletons there, the undead, them coming to life. Gahh!" Shawn yelled out in fear.
"Wait, are you serious?" Millie asked in slight amusement at Shawn's whole zombie shtick.
"I am dead freaking serious. The catacomb of Paris is one of the areas I pledged to never visit in my life." Shawn explained which got Millie to giggle.
"Wait Millie, what's so funny?" Jasmine asked in confusion.
"I'm just finding it funny that Shawn is dead serious and is also scared of the dead." Millie told as she kept on giggling.
"Okay, that is a little funny. Maybe better word choice next time Shawn." Jasmine said as she also giggled. Unfortunately for Shawn he just glared at both of them for not taking his nervous behavior seriously at all.
"I can do this. I can do this." Shawn told himself.
Eiffel Tower/ Start of Challenge
Everyone was now standing in front of the Eiffel Tower with Gwen, Jen, and Millie out in front ready to begin the challenge. Blaineley spoke up, ready to announce the next twist. "Alright everyone, before we get this challenge going. I believe Chris and I forgot one important twist; everyone remembers the first part of the Egyptian challenge, right?" Blaineley asked in a taunting tone.
At that moment Damien's eyes widened "Oh no. You don't mean-" Damien began to say until he was interrupted.
"That's right. It's back to handcuffs." Blaineley announced as everyone groaned at that notion. "Oh, quit complaining. It could be worse. Besides this is only for the catacombs. Once your artist is done, in increments of two minutes, everyone on your team will be paired up in cuffs." Blaineley explained.
Cameron rose his hands in confusion, "What about Team Style and Team Amazon? They have an odd number. So mathematically not everyone can be in cuffs."
"Thank you, captain obvious. One person from that team will be able to go solo. We tried to buy three-way cuffs or at least our intern did for this challenge but once he put that in his search history, we got a call from police about that, so we had to abandon the idea and fire him." Chris laughed. "Anyways it's time to begin the challenge so artists get ready to draw. Go!"
Each of Gwen, Jen, and Millie grabbed their pencils as everyone on their teams began to make various poses. On Team Amazon, the camera showed Topher admiring the Eiffel Tower in astonishment. "Wow, seeing the Eiffel Tower in person is so lovely. This is so amazing to witness." Topher said in awe.
"Yeah, what do you think of Paris?" Anne Maria asked.
"I have always wanted to go on my own volition, as the place is so romantic." Topher said as he looked at the Eiffel Tower more before looking back at Anne Maria. "If I win this show I would go back here not under the stress of the game, even if this place looks like the place for couples to visit. Would be amazing if it happened to me and I was here with a lady." Topher said in a confident and happy tone as the camera panned over to Zoey and Anne Maria who both looked at Topher in admiration.
"He's so lovely." Zoey said to herself.
With Team Style, Sky was trying to pose for Jen but kept glaring at Jo who wasn't even acknowledging Sky at all. "That backstabbing snake." Sky said to herself.
Julia, noticing Sky's rather agitated state, walked up to the Olympian to feign concern "What's wrong with you now? Besides being in this challenge." Julia asked.
"I am just so pissed off that Jo actually followed through on getting rid of Dave, she formed this girl alliance only to get rid of my ally. Then she feigns ignorance on voting Dave out and yet anyone can tell she is a liar. If we lose, I would love to send her home." Sky said angrily, ranting to Julia who found the whole thing amusing.
The camera then paned to an uncomfortable and twitchy Shawn who was still freaking out about going into the catacombs. DJ who could tell Millie was done drawing the caricature of him decided to walk up to Shawn and see what was going on, "Yo Shawn. You, okay? You look really bug eyed and twitchy to say the least."
"Catacombs, the undead. Can't talk right now." Shawn said in a very scared tone.
"Shawn just relax, the team has your back here, we're all in this together. Maybe we can be partnered together." DJ tried to say reassuringly.
"I can't. I'm so dead. The skeletons will get back to life. I am gonna die today." Shawn said, blabbering as DJ could only look on in concern.
Confessional- DJ
"Shawn was looking like a wreck and I'm not going to lie, it was very hard to watch."
Back To Scene
Soon Gwen was wrapping up the finishing touches, "And done. Judge, judge." Gwen called out, as the judge walked up "Thoughts?" Gwen asked. The judge gave the thumbs up with many on Team Amazon cheering as Blaineley walked up.
"Okay Team Amazon, time to split you guys into duos. First thing is the person who won't be handcuffed, which will be Gwen."
"You don't have to tell me twice," Gwen said as she headed into the catacombs as fast as possible.
"So, the first couple of duos are Topher and Zoey. Heather, you are partnered with Sierra." Chris announced.
"Wait what? I'm not with Cody. This isn't fair." Sierra cried out in near tears.
"Do I look like someone who cares?" Chris gloated. "Now put the handcuffs on and get in the catacombs."
Sierra just pouted and looked over first to Cody who shrugged his shoulders and then looked over to Heather, "I'm with Chris on this one. I don't care." Heather snapped at Sierra as both entered the catacombs. However not even a few seconds later you could hear Heather puke off screen from the stew during the last challenge, "Oh come on!"
"Anyways, our next duo is Anne Maria and Kitty. Ladies here are your cuffs." Blaineley said with a smirk.
"Ugh, whatever I just wanna get this stupid challenge over with." Anne Maria said in an angry huff that she wasn't with Topher.
"Come on Anne Maria lighten up, maybe you need a boyfriend when you're in Paris to make you happier." Kitty joked around.
"I would. But that damn red-haired bitch took him." Anne Maria said angrily, unaware that Kitty was trying to joke around.
"Next duos are Katie, and Ella" Blaineley announced, which got both girls smiling, "Also together will be Courtney and Scott."
"Don't slow us down dirt boy." Courtney warned Scott.
"Aw don't worry I won't." Scott said as he got the handcuffs on him and Courtney "Just lighten up a little. After you, my lady."
Courtney rolled her eyes at that statement "I'm not your lady."
Scott in his mind told himself "One day you will be."
"The last duos are Chase and Emma along with Cody and Mickey as a duo." Chris stated as he grinned eagerly at the former as Emma silently grabbed the handcuffs and put them on Chase and herself.
While for Cody and Mickey they were the last ones of their team to get cuffed together as Mickey nervously approached the entrance "Ugh I hope I don't get the plague like my brother did."
"Your brother got the bubonic plague?" Cody asked in absolute astonishment.
"Yep, it wasn't a pretty sight." Mickey explained, "I am just thankful he is still alive." Mickey said solemnly looking down.
"Regardless, we'll be fine and let's just enjoy the moment." Cody said, trying to make Mickey cheer up as Mickey gave a weak smile happy to be with Cody.
Confessional- Cody
"Mickey has quickly become my best friend here. It's weird in a way he reminds me of myself. He is always nervous yet has a positive outlook on life and never gives up. Mickey is kind of inspiring in a weird way."
Back To Scene
The camera flashed back to show Millie approached the judge as the judge gave her a thumbs down "What, what could be wrong with it. A caricature needs 5 exaggerations, and I got it for everyone on my team." Millie protested. However, the judge pointed to Shawn who was still looking naturally twitchy and worried.
"Come on scared boy. We are gonna fall behind," Leshawna said angrily, "We've been standing here for 15 minutes."
"Catacombs, skeletons, zombies, I don't wanna." Shawn said, still panicking like crazy and not listening to Leshawna.
"Guys don't worry. I'll think of something." Millie reassured.
"You better, because Team Style is pulling ahead." Leshawna said as the camera panned to Jen who showed her picture of everyone on her team as the judge gave her a thumbs up.
"Alright Team Style." Chef said, walking up. "Here are the duos. Alejandro and Eva are a pair. As are Jen and Trent."
"Alright let's do this Jen. The catacombs await" Trent cheered out looking at Alejandro with a slight grin that Jen was more friendly with him.
"Ugh. I just hope we finish fast enough that I can shop afterwards. I know that Paris has multiple midnight madness events, and I would probably buy out the whole store." Jen stated as her and Trent began climbing down.
"Do you really think Chris will give us enough time to do any shopping?" Trent asked in a rhetorical tone.
"Fair enough." Jen said, as they approached the entrance, "A girl can dream though."
"Okay Sky and Julia. You two are also a duo, so here are your cuffs." Chef said putting them on both girls as Sky was still shown glaring at Jo. Julia meanwhile saw Sky's facial expression and had a huge grin on her face as the camera panned to Jo who at first was staring back angrily at Sky until she saw Julia's face and gasped. "Other duos are Duncan and Bowie along with Owen and Noah, lastly Jo and Brick will also be a duo which means pretty boy Justin is going at it solo."
Confessional- Jo
"That backstabbing lying snake, Julia. She's the rat in the alliance. That girl looked way too comfortable, smug, and happy to not be the one to flip the last vote. I don't know how or when but she is going down one way or another. Mark my words."

Millie is once again walking up to the judge "I got the exaggerations for Shawn guys this should work." Millie yelled out and sure enough the judge gave Millie a thumbs up "Aw yeah, who's the best I am." Millie gloated for a quick second until she saw Leshawna roll her eyes at her "Oops sorry. Right, we're behind."
"That you are Team Victory. Except maybe not the victory part at this point" Blaineley said in a condescending tone. "So let's get the duos established. Millie and Damien, you are a duo as are Bridgette and Geoff."
"Yeah babe! Awesome." Geoff cheered out.
"Yeah great." Bridgette said in a much more monotone voice sounding unenthusiastic about the situation. Whether it was her being with Geoff or the catacombs themselves was yet to be determined.
"Other duos are Leshawna and Harold." Blaineley announced as Leshawna grabbed a pair of cuffs "Hey you can't just take them. There's a process."
"Screw the process. This is a race, and I'm not coming in last." Leshawna said slapping the handcuffs on Harold. "Come on sweetie." Leshawna yelled out.
However she was going so fast Harold couldn't maintain solid footing and was getting physically dragged by Leshawna "Ow, yes Leshawna ow. A little gentler, ow. My kidney." Harold yelled out in pain.
"Regardless, Jasmine, you and Brody are a duo as are Ezekiel and Cameron, along with Tyler and Lindsay."
Jasmine walked up to the catacombs nervously herself "I'm not so sure about this." Jasmine said, gulping in fear.
"Oh don't worry about it bra, I got a good sense of direction, I know my way anywhere." Brody reassured Jasmine who breathed a sigh of relief as her, and everyone sans one duo made their way down to the catacombs.
Said duo was Shawn and DJ. DJ had managed to put the cuffs on both of them but Shawn was petrified with fear "I can't do it. I WON'T!" Shawn yelled in absolute terror trying his best to avoid going down.
DJ was trying to stay calm as seeing a close friend in this state of absolute terror and paranoia was very hard for him to watch to say the very least. "Come on Shawn. Slow and steady. We got this." DJ tried to reassure but Shawn wasn't moving an inch so DJ decided to lift Shawn up over the shoulders to make him go in.
Catacombs
Bridgette and Geoff were shown running in the catacombs as Geoff stopped to smell for a second, as Bridgette looked on bewildered "What are you doing Geoff?" Bridgette asked.
"Trying to find the cheese with smell, especially since this is such a huge maze." Geoff explained as he then saw Bridgette looking down, "What's wrong babe?"
"Look Geoff, we need to talk. Something has been bugging me lately." Bridgette said.
"What do we need to talk about, is it Brody talking about his dream girl being a police officer with big thighs? You know I never got his taste in women." Geoff said, going off topic.
"No, I wanna talk about us." Bridgette told impatiently. "Look, I'm gonna cut to the chase. I think we need a break in our relationship."
"What why? Babe I'm sorry for assuming you were attracted to Alejandro. Why do you wanna break up?" Geoff pleaded.
"Not breakup. But take a break. Look we can stay together after the game, but we both pledged we would win this game but us making out and being together got us eliminated last season. We want to win and I think this is what's best." Beidgette explained.
"Well I don't think it's what is best for us." Geoff said in a pouty tone.
"If you really love me, you will respect what I want, and besides I am not saying we are breaking up for good, I am saying we put the relationship on pause and focus on the game. My loyalty is still with you." Bridgette tried to explain but Geoff was now dead silent. "Geoff, do you understand?"
"I understand, but it doesn't mean I have to like it at all." Geoff said angrily. "I don't want to talk about this anymore." So Bridgette and Geoff walked in awkward silence both feeling down after that exchange.
Confessional- Geoff
(Crying) "It's just not fair. It's not right that Bridgette wants a break."
Confessional- Bridgette
"I know that Geoff is feeling down. When he's absolutely upset, he doesn't talk at all. To be fair he is rarely upset. In my heart however I know this is best for both of us."
Another Part In The Catacombs
Harold and Leshawna were next shown walking in another part of the catacombs, with Harold now happy as can be, being partnered with Leshawna while for Leshawna, all that was on her mind was the talk from earlier with the girls about Harold and that kiss in Egypt.
All of a sudden a noise was heard that made Leshawna jump in fear "Oh hell no." Leshawna yelled out.
Confessional- Harold
"This is the moment. I need to tell Leshawna how I really feel. She means so much to me, and I need to redeem myself after how I betrayed her last season, yes she forgave me, but I still to this day haven't forgiven myself."
Back To Scene
After the slight noise scared Leshawna she lost her footing and fell on a skeleton as she and Harold were on the ground. Harold, trying to be the gentleman he thinks he is, decides to try and help Leshawna up, "My lady?". Unfortunately this led to both of them being too close to each other and being inches within each other's faces. "Hehe, this is so awkward." Harold said as he and Leshawna finally stood up.
"Come on sweetie, we should keep going, we have a challenge to win." Leshawna said trying to run but she looked behind her and saw that Harold wasn't moving. "Harold, we don't have time to mess around. Our team is already behind."
"Leshawna, this can wait." Harold said in a bold and confident tone. "Besides, Amazon has Katie who has no sense of direction and Owen still hasn't felt the effects of all that Moroccan stew. We have time."
Leshawna sighed in annoyance, "Okay I'll take your word for it, but if you go down, I am not going down too. What do you want to talk about?"
"Egypt and that damn accidental kiss we had. I know you don't want to talk about it so I'll do the talking. Leshawna, that was probably the best moment in my life. I love you Leshawna and I never will not love you. I know you may never feel that same way. I will promise you no matter what I won't leave you unless you tell me too. Whatever you want me to do, I will do. I regret every day I didn't stay in touch with you in between seasons." Harold said as he then took a breath too compose himself.
"That's on me too baby." Leshawna said, looking down.
"Can I ask, what are you thinking, Leshawna?" Harold asked nervously.
"Look. It has always crossed my mind that we could end up together and for good. Harold, you're not the kind of guy I go for. Think about it. I always had an attraction to Justin last season, and Alejandro is absolutely gorgeous." Leshawna said, and she saw Harold was looking down "But Harold, you have shown me loyalty and love even when I don't deserve it. I lied too you last season, broke up with you and yet you never left my side and the one time you did betray me and voted me out. You apologized and I know Harold, you still feel bad about that even after I forgave you."
"But I was the vote that cost you a million dollars." Harold lamented.
"Harold, that was the past. The one thing I know definitively is you have to learn from the past and look to the future, and Harold I know what I want my future to be." Leshawna said as Harold cut her off.
"What's that future?" Harold asked. Before Harold could think any further Leshawna pulled Harold into a passionate kiss.
"Does that answer your question sweetie?" Leshawna asked. "I want to give us one more chance, maybe we are meant to be and I really hope we are."
"Just promise me Leshawna no matter what if this doesn't work out. We still stay in each other's lives as I can't lose you." Harold asked in near tears.
"I promise." Leshawna said, giving Harold a quick kiss. "I can't lose you, either."
Confessional- Leshawna
"Maybe I'm absolutely crazy. But my heart is telling me to go all in with Harold both in a game sense and a human sense. I know that no matter what I won't regret this."
Catacombs Maze Middle Section
In another part of the maze was Courtney and Scott walking, with Scott looking at her in complete admiration as Courtney was talking "You know Scott these catacombs were made during the plague because they ran out of room in the morgues back then." Courtney stated.
"That's fascinating, I like it when you talk all smart." Scott said in a trance until he quickly realized what he said "Oh I didn't mean-" Scott quickly deflected.
Courtney however didn't hear what he said "Did you say something?" Courtney asked as Scott shook his head no. "Look now that we're alone can I ask you, are you now gonna be willing to get rid of Heather?"
"No. Until she ruins a challenge for us and completely fucks up. She should stay. You're telling me that Heather is more useless in challenges than people like Katie, Ella, and Mickey?"
"She may be better at challenges, but Heather is an absolute bitch and I know she's coming after me." Courtney explained.
"I'm telling you, I am the only ally Heather has and I have steered her away from targeting you. Until she messes up, she stays but if Heather does mess up, I promise you I'll vote her out." Scott said. "Besides, I am protecting you more than I am protecting Heather."
"Um, Scott, I don't need protection. I am perfectly fine looking out for myself and I don't need a knight in shining armor looking out for me." Courtney defended. "But thank you for looking out for me and being a good friend." Courtney said and at the notion of friend Scott's heart sunk as he knew in that moment he was in the friend zone. "Can we just focus on the challenge?" Courtney asked.
"Yeah, yeah of course." Scott said as his mind was racing thinking about Courtney and for him a lot of other things as well.
Different Part of The Catacombs
Meanwhile with Heather and Sierra the mood was a lot less harmonious as due to Heather still feeling sick from the stew the last challenge, Sierra was carrying Heather over her shoulder much to Heather's chagrin. "Just put me down already." Heather cried out in anger.
"No, this is how I would carry my Cody and if I can't be with him I can at least pretend he's here." Sierra said, sounding absolutely crazy in Heather's eyes.
"But Cody doesn't like you like that and you are absolutely delusional." Heather said angrily.
"He doesn't like me like that because his mind is getting filled with junk from someone who does like him, and that's not fair at all because Cody is destined to be with me." Sierra said.
"You really are delusional." Heather said as she realized nothing was going through Sierra's head. "Oh and another thing…." Heather began to say as the camera flashed away.
Early Middle Section of the Catacombs
Jo and Brick are shown next both walking in awkward silence as Brick breaks the awkward air "Where to next Jo?"
"I don't know, this maze is ridiculously long anyway. Besides Cadet Wet Pants, why are you even talking to me? I'm apparently a flipper and an absolute cancer on this team." Jo said ranting.
"Ma'am someone called you a cancer on this team?" Brick asked, shocked.
"No but I feel that way. You're the first person here who has talked to me without sounding pissed off at my mere presence." Jo said angrily.
"Look, Jo. Just answer me a couple questions okay?" Brick asked.
"Okay what exactly if you don't mind me asking?" Jo asked back.
"Did you vote for Dave or Alejandro at the last elimination ceremony?" Brick asked as the two stopped walking.
"I voted for Alejandro. Yes I was heavily tempted to vote Dave off. I know you probably won't even believe me but that's the truth. I especially know that you Brick won't believe me since Alejandro is your best buddy." Jo said getting even more angry about her situation.
"Who do you think set you up then?" Brick asked growing more concerned for Jo but also somewhat intrigued to see what she was going to say.
"Julia set me up, that bitch. She acts all innocent but is a liar. I'm not the problem on the team. She is." Jo said getting close to yelling about her current situation.
"Are you done?" Brick asked as Jo nodded her head. "Great, because look I do believe you. Yes Alejandro is my close friend but the passion and how bad you felt makes it clear to me you're being honest and honesty goes a long way with me especially with my training."
"Thank you Brick. Thank you." Jo said happily. "Come on we have a challenge to win and a snake to expose if worse comes to worse." Jo cheered.
Meanwhile
Duncan and Bowie were shown walking right into a dead end "Ugh dead end. I swear this challenge is the dumbest thing Chris has come up with yet." Duncan lamented in annoyance.
"Agreed, not to mention this place is so creepy. I'm probably going to need two showers just to get rid of all the disgust these skeletons give me." Bowie said.
"I mean, I've had worse last season." Duncan said as he and Bowie walked away from the dead end.
"What could be worse?"
"Well having restless nights due to Courtney I will say oop-" Duncan said before realizing he mentioned Courtney as Bowie had a grin on his face. However as luck would have it, Gwen showed up much to Duncan's relief. "How's it hanging pasty?"
"Nothing much, just hating Chris for this stupid challenge." Gwen stated.
"You got to draw at least. I just stood there like I was in a police lineup." Duncan snarked back.
"I will say the catacombs are nice at least." Gwen said, looking around.
"Really how so?" Bowie asked.
"Some of my friends would love this place for the skeleton aspect of it all and feel like this place would be great as a playground." Gwen explained as Duncan was shown being completely transfixed on what she was saying something that made Bowie smirk.
Confessional- Bowie
"Duncan is obviously in love with Gwen. It's so obvious but he is either in denial about it which is just pathetic to see or is too damn stubborn. I've now seen first hand how much Duncan likes being around Gwen. Now I just need to see how he is with Courtney. But I don't think it's going to be as harmonious."
Near The End of the Catacombs
Sky and Julia are shown in one of the last parts of the catacombs. Luckily for both of them they had made a great pace so far. Despite that though Sky still had a huge frown on her face "I am so annoyed that Jo is still here." Sky said angrily.
"I am too." Julia said faking concern. "Just a hypothetical and you don't have to agree at all. Would you be down for voting Jo out next, I know she's part of the girls alliance and physically very strong but-" Julia said until Sky interrupted.
"I'm down to get rid of that traitor. She poisoned this girls alliance we had and I can't wait to send her home. From there the 3 of us continue together, I imagine Jen will be down." Sky explained as Julia looked very eager.
Confessional- Julia
"I swear at times it's almost too easy to manipulate Sky. This Dave elimination has made her so easy to sway, it's almost not fun. Almost."
Middle of Catacombs
Lindsay and Tyler were making solid progress, as Lindsay decided to let Tyler do the navigating especially as Lindsay was freaked out by the catacombs "Ugh. This place is so creepy. I would rather die than be down here." Lindsay said before she looked over to Tyler. "Tyler, you agree right?" Lindsay asked as Tyler was distracted looking around. "Tyler!" Lindsay called out.
"Yeah Linds, I agree." Tyler said not really listening to Lindsay. Lindsay however noticed Tyler wasn't really paying attention and for Lindsay she remembered her thought of Tyler being one of the people that voted Beth out.
"Tyler, you will always be honest with me right?" Lindsay asked as Tyler nodded his head. "Okay can you tell me if you voted Beth out. I promise I won't be angry if you did."
Before Tyler can say anything however, Damien and Millie had walked in on both of them as Tyler instantly felt a sense of relief as he was not sure at that moment to confess to Lindsay about the Beth vote so Tyler decided his best course of action was to change the topic if at all possible "Hi Damien and Millie, are you guys lost?" Tyler asked.
"We were lost for a bit. It's just so relieving to see other teammates. We should probably stick together." Damien told Tyler and Lindsay.
"Agreed, this place is so scary. I just want to find the cheese logs." Lindsay said as everyone ignored her saying something wrong. As both duos walked further into the catacombs Tyler mouthed to Damien that they need to talk which Damien nodded his head at.
Just Over Halfway through The Catacombs
The next duo shown is Cody and Mickey. Mickey was shown looking freaked out with Cody rubbing his back in order to calm him down "It's okay Mickey. We're probably over halfway through the maze."
"Maybe, but this place scares me so much. I just wanna get out of here, but I know my sense of direction would get us hopelessly lost." Mickey said.
"To be fair. I also have a bad sense of direction, I don't know if you watched the first season but during a challenge in the woods I got hopelessly lost and mauled by a bear." Cody explained, looking back at why he was sent home the first season.
"I am so sorry that happened to you Cody. No one deserves that." Mickey said, comforting Cody.
"It's fine Mickey. That attack has made me stronger physically and mentally, or at least I hope so." Cody wistfully said, until he heard a noise "Oh crap, did you hear that."
"Yes, let's just stay quiet." Mickey said until he and Cody saw a couple of shadows, that made both Mickey and Cody faint in absolute terror and fear.
However as it turned out, the two shadows were Anne Maria and ironically enough Cody and Mickey's closest ally Kitty. Kitty was the one who saw what accidentally happened "Oh no." Kitty yelled out. "Oh my gosh, what happened to them?"
"Ugh. Who cares? I'm just glad we found teammates so we know we aren't alone here." Anne Maria said in annoyed relief.
"Let's help them out. You carry Cody and I'll carry Mickey. We need to make sure they make it out of the maze. They aren't looking great." Kitty said worriedly as she picked Mickey up over her shoulder.
"You can't be serious, why do I have to do any physical work? Let's just leave these two alone." Anne Maria complained.
"Yeah no. I'm not going to leave my friends behind. So pick Cody up and let's help them out." Kitty ordered.
"Really? What are you going to do about it?" Anne Maria taunted.
"If you don't. I will tell the whole team you threw the challenge and make sure you take the drop of shame. So pick up my best friend and help me out." Kitty threatened.
"Ugh, fine. But I don't have to be your friend." Anne Maria explained as she picked Cody up. "Now let's go!"
Confessional- Kitty
"A lot of times, I am really happy and go lucky, and I like to think I am also even keeled. However, that being said, my sister Emma can be a bit intense, not to mention aggressive as she is trying to get into law school. So if I have to I can get a bit harsh if need be. Even if it's a last resort."
Middle of Catacombs
Trent and Jen were walking slightly nervously as Trent in particular looked freaked out! "Ugh this is the last place I would ever want to be in Paris. Seriously, when you think of Paris I like to think of romance or baguettes, not this."
Jen picked up a skeleton while Trent was distracted and played with it for a quick second "Hey Trent. I have a bone to pick with you." Jen joked which got Trent to laugh at as Jen set it back down.
Trent however had the game on his mind especially after the last vote was so chaotic and unexpected "Jen if you don't mind can we talk while it's just the two of us?" Jen shook her head indicating she didn't mind as Trent pressed on "Okay good. Look I don't know if Jo was the one to flip. But if she or whomever was willing to split up the friendship between Dave and Sky I feel like it's only a matter of time before they split our friendship up, and it sucks because we just formed a Final 2."
"Are you no longer loyal to the Final 2?" Jen asked.
"What kind of question is that? Of course I am, but for now we both need to lay low and not be seen as a duo. Its what's best for us. No matter what though, I want to go to the end with you and probably Justin." Trent explained.
"That's true I didn't realize how smart you were, but if we get a moment, I want to show you and the rest of the team some of the best boutiques I read up on." Jen said happily.
"Do you really think Chris will allow us to do some shopping?" Trent asked sarcastically.
"I can hope." Jen said, sounding less assured. Before their conversation could continue, Alejandro and Eva showed up to the other duo. Which luckily made Jen feel relief. "Thank goodness, it is not fun being down here."
"Have you guys found the exit yet and the cheese wheels? It's kind of ridiculous we haven't found anything yet." Eva said, annoyed.
"We haven't. Just the usual, skeletons, rats, and the occasional dead end." Trent explained.
"Best we stick together amigos. Safety in numbers I say." Alejandro said, winking at Jen who gave him an absolute blank stare as she and Trent walk away as Eva laughed.
"How pathetic." Eva noted.
Confessional- Jen
"Seriously, what is up with Alejandro flirting with me? I don't feel anything at all. It's kind of hard to explain why. Being with Trent is at least comfortable. Alejandro isn't comfort"
Confessional- Alejandro
"It may take some time, but with enough persistence Jen will be my ultimate pawn for my game."
Catacombs Second Mile
For Shawn and DJ however they had only made it into the catacombs for a couple of miles from the entrance as Shawn was so paralyzed with fear he was barely moving. It didn't help that they had just hit their fourth dead end, something DJ quickly took note of "Man this maze must have infinite dead ends. What do you think Shawn?"
Shawn however was shown breathing very heavily and barely making sense "I just want to get out of here! I just find this challenge cruel and harsh punishment on me. Why is this happening? Why here, why now? Why, why why!?" Shawn yelled out in pure frustration and fear as he soon sat down on the ground hyperventilating and crying his eyes out as DJ watched on in concern.
Confessional- DJ
"Seeing Shawn so broken down, where he is that scared is hard to watch. Not to mention it absolutely broke me inside. Shawn is a great friend despite his quirks and I'm so happy to have met him. What didn't help was me getting us hopelessly lost."
Back To Scene
Shawn had luckily gotten his composure and stood up, "I just wanna be left alone." Shawn quietly said.
"Sorry Shawn that can't happen since we have the handcuffs here. Look, can I ask you something?" DJ said, as he stopped in place.
"I guess so." Shawn said unsure of where DJ was going to take this conversation.
"Is there a deeper reason for your fear of zombies? It's just seeing you this freaked out about all these skeletons is concerning for me." DJ explained.
Shawn was unsure of how to respond to this as while his zombie obsession was something that defined him, he could tell DJ in that moment cared for him. "I guess for me it's just a constant state of paranoia and fear of the undead. I have become an expert survivalist in a way but the fear of the zombie apocalypse just makes me feel a sense of helplessness and that defines me. That no matter what my fate is sealed due to a future zombie apocalypse. Not helping is seeing all these skeletons makes me naturally uneasy. I know that I must sound absolutely batshit insane and if you want to laugh at me go right ahead. Plenty of people already do." The camera went to DJ who was just silent as the air was thick and DJ couldn't even think of what to say.
Another Section of The Catacombs
Owen and Noah were lightly jogging as Owen called out "Here cheesy cheese."
"If we had any sort of lead from Team Victory we probably lost it." At that moment both crossed a familiar looking skull. "No. I've seen that skull. Damn it, we have been going in circles." Noah lamented.
"Um Noah, not to make things worse but so is my stomach." Owen said, looking down at his stomach before burping. "Uh oh, where's a freaking bathroom?" Owen asked, running scared as Noah looked at the camera while being dragged against his will.
Confessional- Noah
"Owen hasn't fully gone to the bathroom since having all that Moroccan stew, the team knew this moment would come, we were just hoping it wasn't going to happen during the challenge."
Cheese Wheels
Sierra and Heather were shown walking to the wheels as Sierra stopped carrying Heather but neither were happy and were still bickering as Sierra said "Heather your constant gagging and complaining is slowing us down."
Heather wasn't having it though "Your constant whining and crying about Cody is what has slowed us down. Look there's a plethora of people ahead of us." Heather noted as it showed the duos of Lindsay and Tyler, Leshawna and Harold, Millie and Damien for Team Victory paddling, while for Team Amazon being shown was Topher and Zoey, Courtney and Scott, and lastly Chase and Emma while for Team Style Justin was shown.
"We're not the last ones. Thank goodness." Kitty shouted out as she along with Anne Maria and a still passed out Cody and Mickey showed up. "Now how do we get all four of us on a raft?" Kitty asked until she saw Sierra glare harshly at her. "What's wrong?"
"What the fuck happened to my Cody!?" Sierra practically screamed out, however before anyone could react she pushed Kitty and Anne Maria in the water. Despite the potential drowning risk for both the cuffs proved flimsy enough they got their hands out of it and were able to float.
"Sierra, we can't just push our teammates." Heather yelled in anger at Sierra's outburst as she continued to see Sierra as a liability.
"I DON'T CARE!" Sierra yelled out carrying both Cody and Mickey who were still passed out, on her back and then threw a cheese wheel raft as she made sure her and Cody were on the cheese wheel raft with Mickey barely on.
Unfortunately for Heather she had it the worse as the way she was positioned made her barely stay afloat. "Sierra (gurgle) you are so (gurgles) dead." Heather tried to say in between holding her breaths..
At that moment Kitty and Anne Maria popped out of the water. "Well that takes care of Cody and Mickey." Kitty noted. "But our cuffs are absolutely busted and we need a cheese wheel."
Anne Maria however was more angry than anything. "No, what we need is to go give Sierra a beat down the next time we see her or at least when I see that bitch."
"Vulgar language aside. I am not against that idea after that." Kitty said glaring from afar at Sierra.
Finish Line
Chris, Chef and Blaineley were waiting by the Louvre "Ready with the keys for the cuffs?" Chris asked Chef.
"Yep. Keys right here." Chef said as he rolled his eyes. "Why am I on key duty?"
"Because you aren't one of the main hosts." Blaineley explained smugly.
Before the three of them could discuss any further Topher and Zoey showed up first with their cheese wheel as Chef approached the two of them and unlocked their keys as Topher and Zoey gave each other a high five as Topher said "We make an amazing team."
"Yeah we do." Zoey said happily. "I wonder where the rest of the team is?"
"I know. I was thinking Anne Maria would be here by now." Topher said, looking sadly over.
Next to finish was Lindsay, Tyler, Millie and Damien finished and after the handcuffs came off Millie exclaimed "I am so proud of all of us finishing. Thanks for leading us Tyler."
The next duo to finish was Scott and Courtney as Courtney yelled in anger "Damn it. I wanted to finish first. How could I lose to someone like Lindsay." Courtney yelled in frustration.
"Geez thanks." Lindsay said annoyed at Courtney insulting her, and was reminded of why she hated Courtney last season.
Justin was the next one to finish the challenge "How am I the only one who has finished for my team?" Justin said, looking to see where the rest of his team was.
Leshawna and Harold finished next as Zoey walked up to both of them as she noticed something that caught her eyes "Harold what is up with your neck and your hair? It looks messed up."
"A gentleman never kisses and tells." Harold coyly said as Leshawna giggled.
Confessional- Leshawna
"Get your head out of the gutter as all we did was have a makeout session in the catacombs. Nothing else."
Back To Scene
The next duo to finish was Chase and Emma as Emma was very angry dealing with Chase "Take these damn handcuffs off." As Chase and Emma get the cuffs off of them Emma smacks Chase upside the head with the cuffs "Well that felt satisfying." Emma said walking away proud of her actions.
"Momma?" Chase said in a delirious state.
As Chase was laying there in pain Duncan, Bowie, and Gwen were the next to finish as Courtney observed the three of them finishing "Why would Gwen be with Duncan and Bowie despite being on opposite teams?" Courtney wondered.
Scott however feigned ignorance "I don't know."
Confessional- Scott
"I definitely have an idea of why Gwen stayed with Duncan and I guess Bowie. But there's no way in hell I would tell Courtney as she was already pissed off about not finishing first in general or for our team so I didn't want to fuel her anger, even if it is a turn on for me. What I like a feisty woman"
Back To Scene
Sky and Julia were the next duo to finish as Sky saw how many people had already finished "Oh come on. How could we have not finished better?" Sky huffed in anger.
Soon after Bridgette and Geoff were the next duo to reach the finish line as Geoff looked behind him and saw Brody and Jasmine "What took you guys so long?" Bridgette asked.
"We got a little lost in the catacombs dudes. Bad sense of direction." Brody said. "I should have had Jasmine lead."
Katie and Ella were the next duo to finish and a few seconds later an absolutely exhausted Cameron and Ezekiel finished the challenge "Ugh never again." Cameron said as he laid on the ground.
"You two okay?" Jasmine asked in concern.
"We got lost eh, legs are hurting, leave me alone, legs are in pain." Ezekiel said in exhaustion.
Jo and Brick are the next duo to finish with a limping Brick, "What happened to you two?" Justin asked.
"Captain Wet Pants over here broke his ankle and then he accidentally lost our paddles. I just can't believe we let home school and bubble boy beat us." Jo said in anger "But Brick did his best I guess." Jo said as she smiled at her new ally.
"Thanks Jo." Brick said.
Cheese Wheels
Back over at the cheese wheels Alejandro, Eva, Jen and Trent had just arrived as Alejandro had an idea "Eva could you break the cuffs with your hands?"
"Why?" Eva asked.
"Because these cuffs are gonna slow us all down. Now Eva, break them." Alejandro ordered.
"No, we could get a penalty for doing this guys." Trent tried to protest what Alejandro was doing as Eva without hesitation broke her and Alejandro's cuffs and soon after Jen and Trent's handcuffs as well. Unfortunately Jen accidentally took a misstep and knocked her and Trent into the water.
Jen was not happy at all being in the water as she popped out of the water with a frog on her hair, "Ahhh! Oh my gosh this is horrible. Only my beautician touches my hair. My hair is ruined!" Jen yelled out in frustration.
Trent tried to comfort Jen "Jen it's okay. Just stay calm and-" Trent began to say but before Trent could say anything more Alejandro threw a cheese wheel down to them.
"There you go Jen for a lady as fashioned forward as you." Alejandro complimented Jen as the camera panned to a blank staring Jen, and Trent who was raising an eyebrow at the exchange while the camera last panned over to Eva who was starting to chuckle.
Confessional- Eva
"(Laughs) Ha, that whole thing is amusing. Didn't think Trent was going to fall for another girl as he said during the Aftermath show last season he was not going to enter a serious relationship after everything that went down with Gwen. That dude can't help himself."
Finish Line
Back at the finish line Chris announced "Looks like we have a couple more finishers" as a drenched Heather, a freaked out Sierra and a still unconscious Cody and Mickey as Sierra and Heather were each pushing a cheese wheel.
"Yay we did it." Sierra cheered as she and Heather were freed from their handcuffs as were Cody and Mickey, Sierra gave Cody a hug as he began to come too.
Cody, regaining consciousness, looked around as he pulled away from Sierra's grip and saw something that concerned him, "Where's Kitty?" He asked. Mickey nudged his best friend and pointed over to a soaked Kitty and Anne Maria pushing their cheese wheel both unhappy and both had a frog in their hair. "Oh my gosh what happened to you?" Cody asked in shock.
Before Kitty could say something, Anne Maria jumped the gun and began yelling at Sierra, "You bitch, you are a fucking bitch. How dare you push me into the water and try to ruin my hair." Anne Maria began to charge at Sierra but luckily for her she had both Gwen and Scott holding her back.
"Wait a minute Sierra pushed you both into the water?" Courtney asked. "How did that happen?"
"I'll explain." Kitty announced. "In the catacombs, we saw Cody and Mickey passed out, and I wanted to help them, so we carried them through the catacombs. When we got to the cheese wheels. Sierra and Heather saw what happened and Sierra shoved both of us without asking what happened to us. Luckily these cuffs broke loose in the water, somehow. But that's how we got soaked in water." Kitty explained angrily.
"Oopsie." Sierra said in embarrassment. However, before Sierra could say anything more Cody walked away in anger at hearing what happened to Kitty and technically Anne Maria as well, with Mickey joining him soon after. Sierra walked up to Heather in confusion and asked "Should I follow Cody? He seems angry."
"I think you've done enough for the team and should give Cody a minute to calm down at least." Heather explained as many of the team nodded in agreement with her.
"For once I agree with you." Gwen noted. "Sierra, you can't just shove teammates and potentially cost us a challenge."
"Anyways, if that's all taken care of. Congratulations are due for Team Amazon winning their third challenge and 5th overall. First Class waits for you all." Blaineley announced as the team had a subdued celebration due to the tension from Sierra's actions.
Near End Of Catacombs
Back at the catacombs Shawn and DJ were shown walking around still lost however much to the viewers shock, it seemed like Shawn was in a better mood however both were still nervous as Shawn put it best "We've been in here for hours, I am shocked they haven't told us the challenge is over."
DJ however was having a more positive outlook "Maybe another team got hopelessly lost." DJ then got a huge whiff of a rather horrific smell. "What is that putrid smell?" DJ asked out loud.
"I think it's coming from there." Shawn said pointing to a mysterious door as he and DJ opened it only to see an apathetic Noah and Owen handcuffed together as Owen was on a toilet.
DJ and Shawn could only stare in disgust and shock before both instinctively puked at the sight. Before both then ran out of sight as Owen as Owen said in embarrassment "Man that Moroccan stew can really rip through a guy." As Owen grabbed the toilet handle to flush which since they were underground was felt by a mime on the street who passed out.
Noah however seemed unaffected and had his own commentary "That's only a 6.2 on my Owen fart scale." Noah stated.
"There's a scale?" Owen asked in astonishment as he was finishing up.
"It's in development, but Sushi farts are a 1, Onion soup is a 5, spicy burrito farts go all the way up to 12. Those things can peel the varnish off a logger." Noah stated matter of factly.
"That's true but we should probably get going as I doubt anyone else is left in the catacombs buddy." Owen stated.
Finish Line
Back at the finish line Jen, Trent, Eva and Alejandro were the next ones to finish even if Jen was less than happy due to the frog in her hair. As Chris announced, "Alright contestants each team has one duo left between Noah and Owen or Shawn and DJ."
Alejandro however was less than pleased, "Of course Owen isn't done and is slowing our team down. The dude is dead weight."
Trent however was quick to defend his friend. "I'm sure him and Noah are doing their best."
Meanwhile
Back at the cheese wheels Noah and Owen emerge from the catacombs as Noah notes "Two cheese wheels left. We're still in this. Okay we throw the cheese into the water; each grab an oar and no! Owen, please don't do that." Noah said off track as he saw Owen eating a cheese wheel.
"What? Cheese is good for you?" Owen said in his defense as Noah looked on in disbelief.
Noah however quickly got to his senses "Fuck it. Throw the cheese in the water and let's get paddling and buddy if you eat more of that cheese you'll get voted off. Eat the cheese when we are done with the challenge okay?" Noah asked Owen who quickly nodded. "Let's go!"
As luck would have it Owen and Noah somehow managed to make great time as despite Owen's temptation to eat the cheese wheel they managed to finish. As Chris announced, "Team Style has earned second place for the challenge again."
"Yay guys we are all still safe." Owen cheered, however he soon noticed no one was cheering. "What's wrong guys?"
"What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG?" Eva yelled out and walked up to smack Owen in the face "You almost cost us the damn challenge. You are a fucking liability." Eva said in anger.
"Back off, Eva back off." Noah yelled out as he grabbed Eva and prevented her from further beating Owen to a pulp.
Shawn and DJ showed up to the cheese wheels a minute later as Shawn noted "This is the last cheese wheel, let's just get on the cheese wheel and maybe another team got slowed down."
However, as DJ and Shawn were paddling, they noticed everyone was already waiting by the Louvre "That's it then." DJ said in shame at his or Shawn's fate.
"I am so sorry DJ. My fear of zombies cost our whole team the challenge." Shawn said as he and DJ soon walked up to the Louvre.
"It's okay buddy." DJ told Shawn as they reached the finish line.
"Well Team Victory, tonight you guys couldn't pull through for the challenge and someone is taking the drop of shame. We will see you at elimination tonight." Blaineley announced as she, Chris and Chef walked away.
"What the hell happened? You guys are two of the more athletic members on the team and yet you both cost us the challenge." Leshawna asked in anger.
Before Shawn could say something. DJ spoke up, "I cost us the challenge, not Shawn, I had a bad sense of direction so if you are looking for someone to blame, blame me. Shawn did nothing wrong."
"I guess that makes sense eh." Ezekiel said.
"What the-" Shawn told himself, shocked at what DJ just did.
Trip Back To The Plane
Team Victory was holding their heads in shame after their loss as Lindsay was walking with Bridgette and Damien.
Lindsay was the first to speak up, "One thing I remembered was that if Minnie didn't have her drawing rejected, we could have made up valuable time."
Bridgette nodded at that assessment. "I agree. She also hasn't performed the best in challenges." Bridgette said. "If we can't vote for Shawn, I would rather vote off Millie. No way I would vote out DJ."
"Same here sister." Leshawna said walking up to both of them. The camera however also showed a concerned looking Damien.
Confessional- Damien
"This is bad. Really bad. Millie is my closest ally here, mainly because she is one of the smartest ones here. So, I have to protect her from this vote, I assumed the team would vote DJ or Shawn out for costing us the challenge, but DJ doesn't want Shawn to go home and if someone wants to vote for Shawn, DJ insists it be him. The problem is that everyone on the team likes DJ and so do I. He's an awesome guy. But I want those million dollars at the end. I have to find a way to get the target off Millie and onto DJ or as a last resort make it Shawn. Just not Millie. Not her."
Cargo Hold
In the cargo hold Bridgette, Geoff, and Brody were shown talking as Bridgette was by the entrance as Geoff is shown looking out at the void as Brody spoke up, "Dudes, this elimination sucks. I don't know who to vote off at all."
"I think we should vote Millie out." Bridgette explained as Brody looked confused.
Geoff spoke up "Do you have a legit reason for targeting her?" Geoff asked, still looking away from Bridgette.
"She's probably our weakest link on the team, and if we can't target Shawn that means voting out DJ." Bridgette explained,
"I am not voting out DJ" Geoff stated.
"Same here." Brody stated as well.
"Exactly and while it wouldn't be the worst idea to send Shawn home. I also don't want to go against DJ's wishes." Bridgette explained. "So, let's play it safe and vote out Millie. Agreed?" Bridgette asked as Brody nodded and Geoff gave a thumbs up looking away from Bridgette. "Okay see you guys at the elimination." Bridgette said as she walked away.
Once Bridgette was gone and out of earshot Brody walked up to Geoff "What happened dude? You and Bridgette used to be all over each other and now it's like you won't look at her. What's up?"
"Bridgette and I broke up. She wants to focus on the game, and I think she looks at me as a distraction. I don't know what to do dude." Geoff said in sadness.
"Just try and win her back, I think she'll come around, I promise." Brody reassured.
"I really hope so." Geoff said as he looked down at the ground. "I'll think of something."
Common Area
In the common area at one of the tables Damien and Millie were shown talking "I'm just nervous about this elimination as I've been performing poorly in the challenges lately." Millie noted.
"Just relax Millie. I know you won't like this, but I think we can get the votes to save you if we vote out DJ." Damien explained.
"DJ, why him?" Millie asked.
"Because he is so well liked and if we can't get rid of Shawn then we get rid of the other person who cost us the challenge who isn't you." Damien explained. "Look, if I can't get the votes concretely on DJ, I'll have it fall back on Shawn. But for now, we are targeting DJ."
At that moment Tyler walked up, "Hey Millie if you don't mind, can I talk to Damien alone?" Millie nodded and quickly left soon after. "Dude I'm pissed right now."
"Why, what are you angry about?" Damien asked in confusion.
"Well let's see here, you and Millie came in right when I was going to tell Lindsay all about the Beth vote as she is getting suspicious." Tyler explained.
"Dude it was merely a coincidence, if you want to tell her about the Beth vote go right ahead. I can tell this secret is eating away at you." Damien told Tyler expecting him to be calmed down by then. However, he quickly noticed that Tyler was still angry, "What else could have made you angry?"
"Lindsay and I are voting together tonight as well as I need to make sure she trusts me and given the fact that she is closer to DJ we were going to vote out Millie." Tyler said.
"That can't happen at all." Damien retorted back. "Look. Millie wants to work with both you and Lindsay as do I and we want all of us to be the final 4" Damien said as Tyler looked unconvinced.
Confessional- Damien
"I could tell that Tyler was still not feeling convinced about voting DJ out and there was a part of me that debated changing the target from DJ to Shawn. But I can't let Millie leave. So, we need a definitive target between the two as getting the target definitively off Millie is proving to be pretty difficult so far."
Back To Scene
"Look Damien, I will try to get Lindsay on board whether it's DJ, Shawn or a stick. But no promises." Tyler explained.
"Can you at least promise me you won't vote Millie out tonight?" Damien asked as Tyler gave him a thumbs up as he soon left, Damien then put his head down on the table "Ugh, I'm not optimistic at all about this. Universe give me a sign."
As luck would have it Cameron and Ezekiel walked up to the table as Cameron spoke up "Who are you thinking of eliminating tonight?" Cameron asked.
"I would want DJ or Shawn eliminated but since DJ insisted that if people were gonna target Shawn to instead target him instead so I would prefer DJ leaving over Shawn."
"I know that Millie is a target." Cameron stated. "I would like her to stay as she is always writing in that journal of hers and I am so curious about the whole thing."
"Journal? I never noticed a journal." Damien stated.
"How do we get the votes, eh? There's only 3 of us and with Millie it's only 4. I'm not good with Math but I think we need 7 to tie the vote and 8 to eliminate who we want. But who do we get with us, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
"I think I did enough work with Tyler to vote with us. With him comes Lindsay." Damien explained to both of them.
"Okay so that's six we need two more." Cameron said.
"So, what about the rest of them, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
"I've observed them and have thought it through rather quickly, and if we are all in on voting DJ, I have one solution that can get us to 8 votes tentatively. Obviously, DJ won't vote for himself. He's not Lindsay levels of dumb. Shawn wouldn't vote out DJ since in a way DJ is kind of sacrificing himself for Shawn. Ezekiel, you mentioned that during Season 1, Geoff and Bridgette were close friends with DJ, so I assume they are off the table?" Cameron asked as Ezekiel nodded. "I get along with her, but I think Jasmine would keep DJ safe to keep Shawn happy. So that leaves Harold and Leshawna."
"So, we have to get those two to vote out DJ?" Damien asked as Cameron nodded, Damien then turned his head "A tough task but Ezekiel is up to it."
"Me? Why me, eh?" Ezekiel asked in disbelief.
"Damien is stressed out and between the two of us, I think you're better socially since you know them a little longer. Good luck buddy." Cameron explained.
"Ugh fine, eh. But you owe me big time buddy." Ezekiel said exasperated at his situation.
Economy Class
Ezekiel walked into the economy class section as he was very nervous about the vote, his closest ally in Cameron wanted to keep Millie due to her journal and vote out DJ but in order for the vote to succeed Cameron has decided to make Ezekiel convince Harold and Leshawna to vote out DJ. As Ezekiel walked around, he saw Harold and Leshawna cuddling in the corner.
Confessional- Ezekiel
"This is so awkward, eh. I have to convince Harold the guy who told me not even a week ago, told me to fuck off. Now I have to convince him to vote out the most liked person in the game in DJ. I am doomed, eh."
Back To Scene
Ezekiel walked up awkwardly to a cuddling Harold and Leshawna "Am I interrupting anything here, eh?" Ezekiel asked as both quickly got off of each other.
"No, no you aren't homeschooled, what do you want?" Leshawna asked as she was hoping Ezekiel didn't put two and two together with her and Harold.
"Do you guys know who you're voting for?" Ezekiel asked as he began his mission.
"Harold and I assumed the plan was Millie." Leshawna explained as Ezekiel shook his head no. "What did something change?"
Ezekiel realized he shook his head no and had to course correct, "I've heard rumblings that the target is DJ tonight, eh."
"DJ? That doesn't make sense, if both of them failed in the challenge the team would just send Shawn home." Leshawna explained as she felt very close to DJ and was not ready to see him leave.
"Remember DJ took the blame for him and Shawn messing up. So, I can't imagine DJ would want the vote to be Shawn." Harold said as he remembered what DJ said right after the challenge.
"Look I'll leave you two skinny boys too, I need to think this through as I don't want either of them to go home and I would rather Shawn leave but Harold I'll do what you want," Leshawna said as she walked away.
Confessional- Leshawna
"Getting rid of DJ or Millie is so difficult and it annoys me that DJ is protecting Shawn as it is now putting him in the fire. But this team can't carry any dead weight, and I think Harold and I getting together is helping me see this game so much clearer. I hope so. "
Back To Scene
Once Leshawna was gone, Ezekiel decided to keep the conversation going "What are you thinking Harold?"
"This is so difficult as DJ is a great person and friend of mine, is there any way Shawn can be the target?" Harold asked.
"I wouldn't mind it, but Cameron and especially Damien are insistent on it being DJ." Ezekiel stated, unknowingly throwing Cameron under the bus. However, Ezekiel then noticed Harold was looking guilty "Is something wrong Harold, eh? If you don't want to vote DJ out, I can try to get those guys to flip."
"It's not voting out DJ. Gosh! Deep down I know it's a game and I have to play selfishly to some degree. But what has me feeling down is making things awkward this morning between us. It's just going to take a long time for us to fully trust and gel with each other. I want to trust and get to know you, but it will take a while." Harold explained.
"Well if we vote together that's a good way of trust I reckon, eh. If you don't mind me asking, are you and Leshawna, you know a thing, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
Harold was shy and feeling coy but quickly remembered that Ezekiel saw him and Leshawna cuddling so he realized that there was no point in lying "Yes, but can you at least promise not to tell anyone about this? Leshawna and I are trying to not paint a target on our backs."
"Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone and I'm happy for you and if we vote together I look forward to working with you, eh." Ezekiel reassured Harold.
Confessional- Harold
"This is such a hard decision. I genuinely don't know. I don't know."
Elimination Ceremony
Chris was standing at the podium, "Team Victory the ironic name tonight that's for sure. It's time to vote!"
Confessional- Damien
"I'm sorry. I can't afford to have Millie leave the game, so it has to be you."
Confessional- DJ
"Sorry Millie. You are my best bet to make sure Shawn and I are both safe."
Confessional- Leshawna
"I need to play it safe. Sorry Shawn. My vote is for you tonight"
Confessional- Bridgette
"Ugh no matter what this elimination just makes me sad. But Millie I don't know you as well as DJ so I'm sorry."
Confessional- Harold
"I can't decide. I'm still trying to make up my mind. Please don't hate me (stamps passport) ugh, I'm so sorry…."
Elimination Ceremony
"Here are the players who are safe. Cameron, Leshawna, Bridgette, Ezekiel." Cameron was shown being relieved while Leshawna and Bridgette were shown looking happy, and Ezekiel was happy.
"Thank goodness, eh." Ezekiel said in relief.
"Other people that are safe are Damien, Brody, Geoff." Chris announced as Brody and a reluctant Geoff gave each other fist bumps, "Jasmine, Lindsay and Tyler are also safe and the other 3 each got votes."
"Shawn got votes?" Jasmine said in shock.
"Tonight's vote was 7 votes, 6 votes, to 1 vote. The final two marshmallows are going too
…..
…..
…..

….. Shawn and Millie."
"Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh." Millie said before turning towards DJ "I'm so sorry DJ." Millie quickly said, apologizing to DJ.
DJ however didn't seem to hold any ill will. "It's fine. I know that you had to vote for me and I had to vote for you. We can still be friends."
"Thanks DJ." Milie said as she walked back to the stands.
However, Shawn was an even bigger wreck than Millie as he gave DJ a huge hug and was in tears, "It's not fair for you to go home tonight for my screw ups. Why can't it be anyone else but you tonight? I should have been the one sent home. If I knew that this was how it was going to end. " Shawn said crying and hugging DJ.
"Shawn don't say that man, I'm not sorry for telling people to vote for me if they were gonna vote for you. Heck someone still voted for you and you don't deserve that." DJ stated as the camera quickly flashed to Leshawna looking down, "You deserve to stay here as this is your first chance playing this crazy game while this is my third. I would never want to stop one of my close friends from trying to win this game when I already got that chance."
"Thank you DJ. I'm going to miss you, so much." Shawn said sadly.
"I'll miss you too, all of you. There are no hard feelings for voting me out tonight, I hope one of you wins this game and I wish all of Team Victory the best of luck." DJ said 'jumping' out of the plane quickly getting out of sight soon after.
"Well after a bit of a downer elimination, Team Victory you guys can try and get some sleep tonight for tomorrow's challenge." Chris stated.
"We have another challenge tomorrow?" Leshawna asked in anger.
"Why of course. There are still 41 of you crazy kids left. Sleep tight." Chris said walking away as Team Victory dispersed.
Confessional- Millie
"Honestly I'm thankful to still be here but I have to step it up in challenges. I can't let this second chance go to waste even if seeing DJ leave is very hard."
Confessional- Bridgette
"Losing DJ is going to bring morale down for the team, I hope people understand why some of us voted for Millie over DJ but we need this team together after an elimination like that. I don't know who can be the one to bring us all together though."
Confessional- Harold
"Right before the vote Leshawna asked me what I wanted to do and I told her I am voting out DJ and I told her that if she wants me to work with Ezekiel that means Zeke and I have to vote together, I knwew that she was the vote on Shawn and she told me she wasn't going to force a tie. I don't think I can trust Ezekiel and I certainly don't like him, but for the sake of Leshawna I'm willing to build a bridge that was once burned. I just hope that I don't regret this."
Closing
Chris and Blaineley were shown in the pilot compartment of the plane, "Wait until the next episode when we drop a shocking season long twist on the passengers." Chris announced in glee.
"It's a twist no one will see coming, next time on Total Drama-" Blaineley began to say.
"World Race! " Both announced closing the episode showing the plane still stationed at the Louvre.

Author Notes
Holy cow this chapter is over 16,000 words long, probably the longest one I have ever written.
So there's our first Paris episode in the clear with it being Ridonculous Race themed instead. So I do want to say that this episode is so long because I genuinely wanted to highlight almost everyone. Heck I think everyone sans Katie and Ella had at least one line this episode. As for the challenge I knew I wanted to split this up into a 3 parter. First being the drawing which was super easy to incorporate as a World Tour challenge, second being the catacombs, and last being the cheese wheels with the biggest emphasis on the catacombs by far.
A fair amount of plots moving forward (Harold and Leshawna being a couple officially, Bridgette putting her and Geoff's relationship on hold, Lindsay starting to figure out the Beth vote off, Scott confirming his crush on Courtney) and some plots that are just beginning (Alejandro trying to swoon Jen, Brick believing Jo after the Dave elimination). All in all I hope that anyone reading this likes where these plots are going and I am excited for how they will keep progressing.
Now onto our eliminated contestant and that is DJ this chapter, the second person from Canon World Tour to be eliminated and I imagine somewhat of a shock for some people reading this. But for me I always had DJ as an early boot the more I planned for this Fanfiction. The main reason being the fact that I got rid of his hurting animal plot, which I never found funny and I found it kind of cruel looking back. However, without that plot line I quickly realized that DJ just had barely anything else in World Tour. Seriously so much of his content is that animal curse storyline. When coming up with any storylines for him however I constantly reached a dead end, I had no love interest for him at all, anything related to Geoff I can do better with Brody best friend wise, and of all the newbies on Team Victory (Cameron, Laurie, Brody, Jasmine, Shawn, Millie, Damien) I didn't really find who DJ could truly bounce off of or develop much of a story with.
That was until I wrote the scene with Shawn and DJ back in the New York chapter with them getting the carriages and I knew I had at least something to work with DJ. But I also knew with all the other crazy stuff going on, I didn't want this friendship to be a big one. Then came the catacombs chapter and I realized that DJ was perfect to eliminate here as I could have him and Shawn partner up on the challenge and to have DJ somewhat help Shawn with that challenge being a hard one on Shawn and go one step further to protect Shawn from elimination. Now I will say there was more to why DJ protected Shawn and more to Shawn's zombie obsession than what was told but that'll be revealed in a later chapter.
As for getting the votes, I knew I couldn't have Jasmine via Shawn, Shawn himself, Geoff, Bridgette, Brody or DJ vote DJ out so I kind of had to improvise and slap dash the votes together between the other 8 7 people and while I'm not the happiest how it turned out, it got the job done.
Next chapter, the contestants travel to Calanque de Maubois, France aka the Mediterranean chapter in Ridonculous Race, where between sharks, castle building, and boat racing it's all out battle for the three teams as sparks fly with the jumbo jet completely sidelined as another contestant will be eliminated.
But until then this is TDFAN1998 signing off and if you are reading this, have a great day.
