Total Drama World Race- Mediterranean Homesick Blues
Recap
The recap begins with Chris and Blaineley in the pilot compartment "Previously on Total Drama World Race we traveled to Paris where our contestants' wills were tested, for a few their artistic abilities were on full display and bravery was challenged." Chris narrated.
"On Team Amazon, Scott confessed to Gwen about his developing crush on Courtney but was crushed to learn Courtney looked at him as a friend, ouch! Meanwhile Sierra was a mess not being partnered up with Cody during the challenge and that reached a fever pitch after Kitty and Anne Maria accidentally scared Cody and Mickey and knocked them out. When Sierra saw what happened she shoved Kitty and Anne Maria into the water. Which left Cody, Kitty, and Anne Maria all pissed off. Yikes." Blaineley stated.
"Over at Team Style, the aftermath of the Dave elimination was still in effect as many people assumed Jo was the one who flipped, and many people didn't want any association with her. With Julia reveling in the chaos. However, Jo found an unlikely ally in Brick who after hearing Jo out chose to believe her. Alejandro tried to begin flirting with fellow teammate Jen only for Jen to be unresponsive leaving the Latin teen frustrated that his charm wasn't working. Owen and Noah struggled in the challenge due to Owen feeling the effects of the Moroccan stew and almost eating their cheese wheel. Their less-than-ideal performance got Eva pissed off and almost beat Owen up." Chris narrated. "But they managed to give their team a second-place finish."
"That's right Chris, but the big losers of the last episode were Team Victory. Ironic last night at least. Millie's picture of her team wasn't approved at first leading to an early setback, Harold and Leshawna confessed their love to each other in the catacombs which is so juicy, as was Bridgette putting her relationship with Geoff on hold. But what ultimately set Team Victory to an almost guaranteed loss was Shawn's fear of the catacombs in relation to his fear of zombies and the zombie apocalypse. Despite Shawn's fears, DJ voluntarily took the blame for his partner, insisting that if someone wanted to vote out Shawn, they should vote for him to leave instead when Team Victory lost." Blaineley explained.
"Damien, fearful of his closest ally Millie's screw up with the caricature drawing, seized the opportunity and got enough votes with an assist from Ezekiel, to send the gentle giant home and barely kept Millie in the game. We have 41 contestants still vying for the win. However, the Total Drama jumbo jet hasn't moved, and today's challenge is going to be long and tedious for our contestants." Chris explained.
"Who will ruin their chances at a million dollars? Oh, they all got potential, right here, right now on Total Drama World Race!" Blaineley said, closing out the recap.
Theme Song
Dear Mom and Dad I'm Doing Fine
The theme song immediately begins showing Owen underwater swimming while Noah and Cameron look on in disgust underwater pointing to Owen's lack of swimsuit which makes Owen instantly cover up
You Guys Are On My Mind
The camera pans up to show Harold showing off his moves on top of a weaved boat while Dave and Leshawna look confused until a paddle is shown hitting Dave and Harold knocking them into the water while Leshawna glares as the camera pans to Duncan who is laughing at the situation.
You Asked Me What I Wanted To Be
Brick, Eva, Jo, Sky, and Courtney are shown paddling the boat with Jo and Sky glaring at each other with Sky also glaring at Duncan for what he did to Dave, while Brick looks enthusiastic and Eva has a neutral expression.
Now I Think The Answer Is Plain To See
The boat crashes into a raft holding Gwen, Ella, Kitty, and Mickey with Gwen looking resigned to her fate, Ella not seeming to mind while Mickey looks freaked out until Kitty gives him a pat on the back to try and calm him down.

Duncan quickly tries to pull Gwen off the raft but Courtney stops and glares at him as the camera flashes to the next scene.

Everything To Prove Nothing In My Way
Cody and Emma land in Sierra's arms with Sierra tossing Emma to the snow on her head with ease and then giving Cody a huge hug much to his discomfort.

(End Of Intro)
Economy Class
The episode begins in the economy class section as the camera shows Owen sleeping, Trent practicing his guitar and both Brick and Alejandro talking to each other. "Ugh stupid Economy Class section. Today has to be the day we get our team back into first class." Alejandro lamented.
"Agreed. I don't mind the food or living conditions, but I can't lie, it'd be nice to go back in there and eat more edible foods. That and maybe some of the tension on the team can be relieved." Brick said.
Alejandro raised his eyebrows and decided to fake ignorance, "Oh that's just silly Brick. There's no tension on this team. We're all one big happy family."
"No offense sir, but you're wrong. Eva smacked Owen in the face yesterday, not to mention Jo and Sky are always glaring at each other. This team is a mess." Brick explained as he looked down.
"Well Owen is an oaf, and Eva has anger issues so those two are bound to clash. As for Jo and Sky, them being mad at each other is perfect for us as it keeps both of us safe." Alejandro stated.
"I suppose sir, but I feel bad that Jo is an outcast on this team." Brick said.
"She did this to herself, either she flipped and sent Dave home which makes her look like a hard gameplayer who plays way too hard, or she voted me off back in Morocco, so I have no use working with her if she wrote my name down or if she flipped." Alejandro explained.
"I don't think she did anything wrong though and I wouldn't be shocked if Jo is getting set up." Brick explained.
However, at this point Alejandro was starting to lose some interest in the conversation "She can't be trusted. Plain and simple and in this game, you have to put feelings aside."
Brick put his head down in shame at what Alejandro was saying, "I know sir. But I'm someone who plays and lives life with my heart." Brick said looking over at Jo, who was by herself.
Confessional- Brick
"I just don't get why the whole team won't even speak to Jo." Brick stated. "I truly wish someone would believe her as I saw the honest Jo yesterday. I don't know if Julia set Jo up like she said, but I do think she's innocent and didn't vote Dave off, and regardless of if she did or didn't, I don't care." Brick said as he then sighed. "She's different."
Another Part of Economy Class
Over at Team Victory the camera showed Leshawna, Bridgette and Lindsay talking despite no audio coming from them, instead the scene focused on Damien who was looking around, Millie who looked down in sadness still feeling bad that she voted out DJ, and an annoyed Tyler who also looked over to Lindsay and gave her a nervous smile and wave.
Confessional- Damien
"This ideal Final 4 of myself, Tyler, Millie and Lindsay are something that I want to have become true." Damien explained. "But this whole Beth vote situation has made things awkward. Also, it shouldn't have been awkward, I saw that Beth was getting close to Alejandro, I put a stop to it, and I got everyone in my alliance who would vote Beth off on board. But Tyler can't bring himself to tell Lindsay the truth even though she has to know at this point that Tyler voted Beth off in New York." Damien explained, annoyed at Tyler.
Back To Scene
Tyler broke the awkward tension "Is today the day I can finally tell Lindsay I voted her best friend off?"
Damien rolled his eyes "Tell Lindsay whenever you want too, you are a grown man. I just want this group of us to solidify moving forward."
"Well voting off one of the members best friends instead of just adding Beth to the alliance is a good way not to get it solidified." Tyler stated.
"You voted Beth off too." Damien pointed out.
"I did because you told me too. When she could have been added to the group." Tyler argued back.
"Well, the votes were already their dude, so I figured I'd be a good friend and include you in the majority." Damien explained as both were getting angrier with each other.
"Okay, needless bickering between you two isn't going to solve anything. This is all needlessly complicated." Millie stated before returning to write in her journal, to ease her mind from the bickering.
Damien remembered what Cameron said about a journal and tried to sneak a look into the thing "Oh a journal, what are you writing in there Millie?" Damien asked.
"Nothing important guys. Just my thoughts about life and the game in general." Millie quickly said, trying to deflect.
Confessional- Millie
"Ugh, I forgot those two were sitting right there, Tyler didn't seem to mind or care but now Damien along with Cameron are always questioning me about this journal and for now it's my business not theirs."
Back To Scene
As Tyler and Damien decided to change the topic of conversation, the camera panned over to Shawn and Jasmine. Shawn was still feeling horrible about DJ getting voted out "Ugh, I just wish that I could have done more to save DJ in the game. He protected me in the game, and I can't even properly thank him."
"Shawn, mate, don't worry about it too much, that's all in the past and all we can do is move forward in this game." Jasmine reassured Shawn with a slight smile on her face.
"I know Jasmine. I know. I just feel very guilty about DJ leaving because it was my fear of zombies that slowed DJ and I down. That's why DJ took the fall for me." Shawn said in sadness looking down at the ground.
"Well, I have an idea. Maybe if you get this whole zombie obsession under control it'll help you out and the team." Jasmine said with the intention of helping Shawn.
However, for Shawn he misinterpreted Jasmine's intentions and took immediate offense to what she said, "There is absolutely nothing wrong with thinking there's a zombie apocalypse and I have the whole thing under control. I can't, I can't even look at you." Shawn said in pure anger walking away leaving Jasmine speechless.
First Class
At Team Amazon, Topher and Anne Maria were shown talking in one of the first-class couches, as the camera picked up on what Anne Maria was saying. "So, at this party, it was a bunch of us, and the older co-eds were drinking and all of a sudden the police showed up." Anne Maria stated as Zoey walked up to them.
"Hey Anne Maria. Hi Topher. What are you two talking about?" Zoey asked as she took a seat.
"Oh, Anne Maria is telling me a story about growing up in New Jersey. She and a bunch of her friends got visited by a police officer at a party." Topher explained.
"Wow. I had no idea Anne Maria that you were arrested." Zoey taunted.
"It's nothing like that red. It was just a misunderstanding, that was all." Anne Maria stated.
Zoey however wasn't convinced, "That's what they all say."
"First of all, Zoey, if you must know, people were drinking soda, and the cop missed the house and had the wrong address. Besides, do I look like the person that would end up in jail especially with my tan and body." Anne Maria said in a very bitter tone. "Secondly have you ever been in trouble with the law, Zoey?"
Zoey was getting annoyed with Anne Maria's presence "Nope I am a perfect law-abiding citizen."
"Oh, so you're a goody two shoes, with no personality or fun. That makes sense." Anne Maria said, trying to bait Zoey into an argument.
"That's not what that means." Zoey flatly said, trying to calm herself down.
"It kind of sounds like it, Zoey." Anne Maria stated angrily.
"Um, are you girls, okay?" Topher asked, sensing the tension between both of them.
"Fine" both said at the same time glaring at each other clearly annoyed at each other while Topher looked back and forth at both of them in confusion.
Confessional- Topher
"This might just be me, but lately I've been sensing a lot of animosity between Anne Maria and Zoey." Topher worried. "I have no clue what the problem would be. Maybe they can get past whatever it is. They are my friends and alliance members, so I want us and Team Amazon to succeed." Topher hoped. "Lastly, if I am being totally honest, I kind of found one of the girls there cute to the point I wanted to ask her out. I won't say who, I just hope that she's happy."
Back To First Class
The camera next panned over to Emma and Chase sitting across each other in the seats with Emma looking like she'd rather be anywhere else and Chase trying to talk to her.
"Chase, just leave me alone." Emma said angrily, looking at the floor.
"Why, what have I ever done wrong to you babe? You're my whole world." Chase said, trying to flirt and bring her back.
"Chase you are an idiot, selfish, and an absolute pain in the ass." Emma accused Chase in anger.
Chase, however, was either oblivious or ignorant, "Come on Emma. I am not those things. Besides I'll know you come around babe." Chase said standing up and leaving to another part of the first class. Emma was left dumbstruck at Chase's willful ignorance. One person who saw the whole conversation from afar was Heather.
Confessional- Heather
"Look Emma is someone I could work with in this game. Yes, she is an absolute loser. But I need all the allies I can get, especially with Courtney and Gwen wanting to target me so badly."
Back To Scene
Heather decided now was the best opportunity to recruit Emma as an ally and walked up to Emma. However, Emma was in such an agitated state she took one look at Heather and yelled out "What?!"
Heather, annoyed at Emma's display of hostility, had second thoughts "Never mind." Heather said, turning back away.
Emma quickly recognized her mistake, "No wait. I'm sorry, I am just going through a lot right now." Emma said, defending herself.
Heather was debating in her head whether to keep talking to Emma. However, she knew that Emma is a good number and ally to have so she decided to engage in conversation with Emma and walked up to her. "Look, being nice and making friends isn't my thing at all. But I saw something was bugging you."
Emma was grateful that someone was willing to listen to her, "Thanks Heather. I am just overwhelmed. Chase is absolutely unbearable today and no matter how many times I tell him it's over he doesn't get it. He has genuinely ruined this experience for me." Emma explained.
"Why don't you just dump his ass? You have made it clear you do not like him at all." Heather asked.
"You don't think I've tried. But he is so determined for us to get back together and can't move on. I want to move on." Emma said in sadness.
"Maybe break up with him by force." Heather reasoned with a grin on her face.
"What do you mean force?" Emma asked.
"If Chase gets it from a physical standpoint that things are done maybe he'll realize that you are done with him and want to move on." Heather explained. However, at that moment Heather looked out the window and saw the Louvre right outside. "Wait, we are still in Paris? What the hell?"
As fate would have it Chris' voice came on the intercom "Attention passengers meet all of us outside the plane for the start of your next challenge."
As Heather and Emma looked on in concern Gwen walked by and summed up how everyone on the plane was feeling "This can't be good at all."
"For once I agree." Heather said standing up.
Start Of Challenge
Everyone was standing outside the jumbo jet and the Louvre with Heather speaking about how everyone was feeling "Chris, do you mind telling us what the hell is going on?"
"Gladly Heather. Today marks the first of the next two challenges where the Total Drama jumbo jet is going to be out of commission." Chris explained.
"Wait, I'm confused. The jet is out of conditioner?" Lindsay asked.
"Commission. Not conditioner. The thing is the producers wanted us to not solely rely on the jumbo jet for transportation." Chris further explained.
"Okay, but where are we going and how are we getting there?" Courtney asked.
At that moment Blaineley walked out of the plane "Well the good news is that we have 3 trains that are waiting for all of you as we are going to Calanque de Maubois off the coast of the Mediterranean."
Confessional- Jen
"Eeeeee! This place is one of my dream locations to visit." Jen explained with a huge smile. "The red cliffs are awesome and are great for fashion shoots. Not to mention the beaches are amazing. But best of all the south of France is where the most glamorous people hang out. It's like Paris but with glossier lipstick." Jen further said. "Oh, I need to return Lindsay her lip gloss I borrowed, then again she has enough so I may just keep it for myself."
Back To Scene
Leshawna was the next one to speak up "OK and how are we supposed to get to the train station if you don't mind me asking?"
"Get there by any means necessary, partner up, take a taxi, go to the subway, we don't care." Blaineley explained.
"One important thing to note is that in order for a train to take off you'll need everyone on your team to arrive at the train station. Go to the train station but the Mediterranean is where the true challenge is." At that Chris grabbed a whistle which got everyone to take off.
Race To The Train Station
As the race began a fair amount of people took a taxi to the train station with a lot of people willing to partner up with the first taxi showing Owen and Noah with Owen looking relaxed. "Oh man it feels great to not have to be in that jet for once, and to get away from Eva."
Noah, who was looking out the window, turned his head at the mention of his second closest ally, "Eva, what about Eva?"
"Nothing massive, it's just that she kind of scares me. I mean she hit me upside the head after the last challenge." Owen explained in fear.
"She did but I can control her. I promise you she won't fly off the handle again." Noah reassured Owen
However, Owen was still nervous and unconvinced, "I suppose. Just promise me Noah if Eva and I are targets you'll side with me over her."
"Of course, Owen. Do you really need to ask?" Noah said in a deadpan tone.
Meanwhile in another taxi was Trent and Jen who despite saying they needed to not be seen as a duo decided to take a taxi together as Jen was talking to the camera "I told the confessional this, so I'll say it here as well. The south of France is where the most glamorous and fashionable people hang out. I can't wait to go there. This is like a dream come true."
"Okay quick question. Do I have the look of someone who is visiting the south of France with what I am wearing?" Trent asked.
"Hmm, not quite yet, I have some fake tanner though that would really bring the look together." Jen told Trent. "If you want some."
"Eh, you only live once and while I'm hesitant. Let's do it." Trent said eagerly.
As Jen and Trent's taxi had a puff cloud of fake tanner smoking out of it, the camera next went to Cody and Mickey's cab. With Mickey looking nervous.
Cody, noting his best friend's condition, decided to ask "Dude, what's wrong now?"
Mickey was admittedly embarrassed but decided to tell anyway "Fast cars give me motion sickness quickly." Mickey explained as he looked sick. "I just hope whatever the challenge is, the Mediterranean isn't one that'll freak me out."
"Come on dude, we are gonna do amazing. We've made it this far. I imagine your family and friends back home will be proud of you." Before Mickey could respond to what Cody was saying, Cody continued as he sighed, "I wish Kitty would have gone in the taxi with us but maybe there wasn't enough room."
Mickey, who was thankful to not have to talk about his home life, decided to change the topic "Kitty? I figured you'd be more worried about Gwen from what Kitty was telling me, you had a huge crush on her during Season 1. Heck, I saw you trying to flirt with her in Egypt."
Cody was quick to defend himself "Of course I am worried for Gwen as well, but she can handle herself. It's why I like her so much. She does her own thing. But I also always enjoy it when it is just you, me and Kitty together. But Kitty is just a friend and Gwen is girlfriend material." Cody tried to defend himself however as the more Cody was a blubbering incoherent mess the less convinced Mickey was, something that Cody picked up on. "And you don't believe me, do you?"
"Nope, not even a little bit. But I'll leave it alone and for your sake, I'll choose to believe you." Mickey explained as Cody offered a fist bump as a peace sign which Mickey missed and accidentally punched Cody in the gut, "Oh my gosh I am so sorry. I don't high five or fist bump enough. One time I accidentally gave my twin brother a black eye. Please don't be mad at me." Mickey said in a pleading tone.
"It's, it's fine. Luckily you didn't hit that hard." Cody reassured Mickey, who felt a lot better even if he still felt some level of embarrassment.
"Perks of being a wimp I guess." Mickey said jokingly.
Subway Station
At the subway station a fair amount of people was waiting as the camera first showed Heather and Emma waiting for the subway as Heather wanted to find out more about how Emma turned out this way due to Chase, "So if you don't mind me asking what it was like dating Chase?"
"It was awful. Chase never listened to me ever and one thing he has never apologized for was all the personal strife he caused me, mainly when Chase saved my cat from a tree."
"What is so bad about that?" Heather asked.
"Well Chase saved it, but the tree landed on my mother, and she calls me Jeff now and her mind has never been there since then." Emma further explained. "Have you ever had that feeling less than and your whole world just makes you feel hopeless." Emma asked.
Heather hesitated for a second before saying "No I don't know the feeling."
Confessional- Heather
"I actually do know the feeling of feeling down and less than." Heather than sighed before continuing, "One of the reasons why I am playing this season so hard was how last season went. But it's hard to open up about that with others, everyone knows to some extent how embarrassed I felt about my head getting shaved and being bald. But what frustrated me and embarrassed me the most was that I gave my all in every challenge and helped to ensure my team won more often than not, and the moment I think I am safe, and I have a potential alliance with Duncan and Harold, I get voted out right before the merge. Oh, and I was bald too." Heather explained, reflecting on the previous season. "This season I want to win and get the redemption I so desperately want and need."
Back To Subway Station
In another part of the subway section, it showed Duncan, Gwen and Justin all waiting for a subway. "At least it's nice to not be in the jet for a change." Gwen's statement however made Justin roll his eyes.
Duncan noticed this and decided to ask, "What's your problem, Justin?"
"I don't have a problem, but I find it ironic Gwen wants a change of scenery when she has constantly been in First Class while people like Bowie and I are stuck in Economy Class." Justin explained.
"Speaking of Bowie, where is that drama stirring troublemaker?" Duncan asked.
"He and I have a bet that I could beat him there while he goes on foot by his own volition." Justin explained. "The winner gets 10 dollars after the season, and I will enjoy those 10 dollars now."
Streets of Paris
In the streets, Jo and Brick were leading the others on the sidewalk with Jo talking to herself "I can't give up. I can never give up. Can you keep up, captain soggy pants?" Jo asked, slightly taunting him.
"I can go all day. Bring it on!" Brick cheered.
Right behind Jo and Brick were Courtney and Scott with Courtney slightly ahead of Scott. "Come on dirt boy are you really going to let a girl do better than you?" Courtney taunted as Scott smirked at what she was saying.
"I'll be fine Courtney." Scott said. "I still have plenty left in the tank."
Confessional- Courtney
"It's odd but hanging out and competing with Scott is pretty much free therapy right now after what happened with Duncan in Egypt, as it takes my mind off Duncan as we just decided to not talk as much and put our relationship back on track after the game." Courtney explained. "But Scott brings out my competitive side without alienating others. He's a good friend, but due to Duncan, Scott and I will only ever be friends which I know he understands."
Confessional- Scott
"I know I could have done better than Courtney and shown her that I'm stronger than her, but I decided to be a gentleman to her and have her do better, I would love to get out of the friend zone with her. Maybe not today but soon."
Back to Scene
As the scene came back, it showed Sierra moping and crying on the streets as she was annoyed that Cody was nowhere near her and instead opted to go with Mickey in this challenge. "I miss him so much." Sierra said sadly.
Confessional- Sierra
"This is just so unfair. I'm Cody's biggest fan, and he left me in a taxi for Mickey, it feels like something out of a romantic movie except I'm the person who got stood up. Not to mention this had to happen in Paris, the city of love. Just my damn luck."
Train Station
As Chris, Chef, and Blaineley were waiting it showed Blaineley on the phone "Uh huh, yeah. Yep, we can definitely afford to do that, Mr. Strauss." Blaineley said as she hung up the phone.
"What did Don want?" Chris asked. "Besides interfering with my show."
"First of all, that man is all of our bosses Chris so it's his show at the end of the day." Blaineley said. "Besides, you might like this news."
"I seriously doubt that." Chris said in snark.
"Hold on Chris, let's hear her out." Chef said, trying to stop a potential argument.
"Don said once we use the jumbo jet, we have a second one that will be a part of a future challenge." Blaineley explained. Before Chris could ask any further, many of the contestants made it to the train station with the only contestants missing being the ones who ran to the train station in Brick, Jo, Shawn, Scott, Tyler, Jasmine, Bowie, Courtney, and Sierra.
However, Cody noticed something was off, "Didn't Katie and Ella also take a taxi?" Cody asked.
"Yeah" Gwen stated before her eyes widened in horror "Oh no. We're doomed." Gwen realized.
"How are we doomed freakshow?" Anne Maria asked, raising her eyebrows.
Gwen decided to ignore Anne Maria's statement, "If Katie is guiding them, we are going to be here a while. She has no sense of direction at all."
"I'm sure it can't be that bad." Mickey reassured but one look at Cody and Mickey knew that Gwen was telling the truth, and that Team Amazon was going to suffer a massive setback.
Katie and Ella's Taxi
"Okay go right again, I think that's where the station is." Katie said to the taxi driver,
"Are you sure Katie?" Ella asked nervously, "I don't see any other taxis here."
"Okay then let's take another left." Katie said as the taxi driver drove left "Oh no we're lost. We're at the trail section of Paris."
"Train station, Katie." Ella argued.
"I could have sworn I said train station." Katie said in embarrassment. "Train section, hurry!"
"Station." Ella said, correcting her friend.
Confessional- Katie
"Oh my gosh I am so embarrassed that my sense of direction is still terrible." Katie cried out. "I hope Ella's not angry at me. She's not the angry type at all but maybe she's better at hiding it."
Train Station
Back at the train station everyone who had finished was anxiously waiting for who'd arrive next. As luck would have it Jasmine, Shawn, and Tyler arrived at the train station which meant Team Victory was in the lead even if the three people who arrived had a lot of tension or at least Shawn did as he was angry at Jasmine for downplaying his zombie apocalypse line of thinking and for Tyler, Shawn was angry at him for voting DJ out the previous night.
Nonetheless, Chris announced "Team Victory is all here which means they can all board the train. All aboard!"
"Awesome dudes, we got a lead. Team Victory is going from the bottom to the top." Brody announced eagerly.
As the train took off both Team Style and Amazon were anxiously awaiting who was going to finish, luckily for both teams they each had a couple of people finish as Jo and Brick finished with Courtney and Scott right behind them. Which left for Team Amazon to finish Ella, Katie, and Sierra to finish, while Team Style still needed Bowie to finish. Luckily for Team Style Bowie showed up a few seconds later but it was clear he wasn't in the best condition physically to say the least.
Justin had a smirk as he saw Bowie show up. "Out of breath. Can't move. So much running." Bowie panted out of breath.
Justin walked up to Bowie, "You could have taken the subway station, aren't you someone who said you were so athletic?"
"Not, not in the mood." Bowie said, panting in pain. "Is everyone here?"
"Yep, we are, and I can't wait to get my 10 dollars." Justin boasted.
Blaineley interrupted the mood, "Well Team Style it looks like you all have a train to catch as you are all here."
While Team Style was entering the train, everyone who had already competed in Total Drama before decided to relax on Team Amazon, as each knew it was going to be a long time before Katie and Ella were going to make it to the train station. Kitty noticed that no one on her team seemed to be in any rush to see if they were gonna be there as Kitty walked up to Cody who was playing with a ball bouncing it against a wall, "Aren't you ready to get on the train?" Kitty asked in confusion.
"It's Katie and her sense of direction. One time at Playa De Losers, she walked into the kitchen thinking it was her bedroom that was 3 stories up." Cody explained. "We're going to be here awhile."
"Oh no." Kitty said as she decided to sit next to Cody.
Katie and Ella's Taxi
Katie and Ella had gotten out of the taxi and asked a local if this was the correct train station, however the local confirmed this train station goes to the northern most sections of France and beyond.
Ella put her hands in her face in embarrassment, "We should have specified what train station."
Katie was also embarrassed as she told the driver the closest train station and as it turned out to backfired on them. "It's okay Ella, our Taxi driver is still here." Katie reassured Ella. "Excuse me sir."
"Yes, what is it now!? You guys said the closest train station and we made it. I'm on my break." The irritable taxi driver said.
Katie ignored the taxi drivers rather sour mood "I should have specified we are going to the train station that takes off to South France and heads straight off the coast of the Mediterranean."
"We are so sorry." Ella said as well.
"That'll cost you extra." The taxi driver said.
"That's fine. We're in a race right now and our team needs us." Katie said as she and soon Ella got in the taxi as Katie put her head in her hands in embarrassment now. "Ugh, I'm so embarrassed."
"Is something wrong, Miss Katie?" Ella asked.
"I'm sorry that I got us so lost. This is so embarrassing." Katie lamented as the taxi began to take off. "Are you mad at me for this?"
"We'll be fine, and you know I'm not mad at you." Ella reassured Katie, holding no hard feelings for her causing this.
Challenge Site
Chris and everyone on Team Victory arrived at the challenge site. "Ooh, we're at the beach guys." Lindsay said eagerly. "Maybe today is a tanning competition."
"While that could be a future challenge, that won't be today's challenge. Instead, today's challenge is going to be a race to finish as each of you will be split up into 3 groups. The first part requires four of you to grab materials off a shark." Chris stated.
"Sharks! Seriously." Brody said in fear.
"Of course. Anyways, once those four grab the material, in this case sandcastle materials. The next 4 will build a sandcastle replica of the Castle of Versailles to a judge's standards. The last group of 5 will be given a key to one of three boats that you will have to drive from here to the coast of Iceland."
"Yeah, and how will these groups be assigned anyway?" Leshawna asked in impatience.
"Assigned randomly of course. As if we would let you all pick your own teams. Now hush. The group that will take on the shark for your team is Harold, Tyler, Ezekiel, and Jasmine." Harold, Tyler, and Ezekiel all gulped that they had to take on a potential shark. "The people building the sandcastle are, Lindsay, Cameron, Damien, and Millie which leaves Bridgette, Geoff, Brody, Leshawna, and Shawn as the boat racers."
Confessional- Harold
"I certainly didn't have potentially becoming shark food today on my bucket list." Harold said worried, before trying to build his confidence. "But I'm confident my mad skills will make us win the challenge."
Coastline
At the edge of the beach Ezekiel, Tyler, Jasmine and Harold looked out to the water, "What should we do, eh? We have a lead in this challenge which is weird for us eh." Ezekiel said.
Tyler was very nervous however, "I have no idea. How are any of us supposed to take on a shark?"
Jasmine however seemed calm and whistled, "Attention men. Get it together. I have an idea." Jasmine barked out which got everyone calmed down for a few seconds, "One of us needs to be a distraction while at least two of us take on the shark to get the material, I think Tyler since you have a huge background in athletics you should be the distraction."
"I get it, but it's a freaking shark. This is terrifying." Tyler said, panicking.
"Don't worry mate, I'll have your back. If the shark attacks you, we fight it together." Jasmine reassured Tyler who breathed a sigh of relief.
"I think between Harold and I, I'm the better swimmer, eh. So, I should be the one to retrieve the material from the challenge." Ezekiel explained as Harold was getting progressively annoyed, before Harold could say anything however, Jasmine interrupted.
"Great idea Ezekiel." Jasmine complimented. "If that's okay with you Harold, you can provide assistance."
Harold's eye twitched at him getting overlooked completely in the challenge but he decided to bite his tongue and be a team player, "Yeah I can help with my mad water skills. We got this!"
"Mad water skills?" Jasmine asked as every one of them headed out to the water and the camera flashed away.
Train Station
Meanwhile at the train station, Team Amazon was still waiting for Ella, Katie, and Sierra to arrive with Courtney wondering "Did the taxi driver let Katie drive herself?"
Luckily in that moment an exhausted Katie and Ella showed up, "We're here. We can get on the train now, right?" Katie asked in exhaustion.
"No, because our resident nut job in Sierra isn't here." Anne Maria explained. "What took you guys so long to get here anyway?"
"We got a bad taxi driver, and I tried to lead us only for us to end up in the train station that goes to the northern most sections of France." Katie explained.
"That's impressive, women am I right?" Chase said to Scott.
"Don't talk to me idiot." Scott said shoving Chase away. "Sexist pig."
"How is Sierra not here though? Katie and I got so lost." Ella asked. As luck would finally have it, Sierra showed up with twigs in her hair and looked very unkempt as she fell on the floor and then Sierra passed out.
Zoey gasped at the sight as did much of the team, "Oh my gosh is Sierra okay?"
"Cody, why!" Sierra cried out, which removed all sympathy the team could have felt for Sierra.
Heather however was growing impatient "We don't have time we have a train to get on. Scott and Courtney can you guys pick up Sierra so we don't leave her behind and get a penalty." Heather instructed which Scott and Courtney nodded as both nodded their heads. "Okay people let's go."
"All aboard the Amazon train." Chef called out.
Challenge Site
Back at the challenge area, Team Style arrived at the beach as Blaineley had just finished telling them about the challenge with Alejandro, Eva, Sky, and Owen were going to be entering the water. However, the mention of sharks had Owen extremely nervous. Not helping Owen was the people in the group he didn't feel the best about. He still felt nervous about Eva, he and Alejandro or as he calls him "Al", have never vibed well at all and he had nothing in common with Sky. "Are we sure this is legal?" Owen asked in fear.
"Don't worry sissy, I got this." Eva said defiantly.
However, before Eva entered the water, Blaineley whistled to get the shark groups attention, "Hold up Eva. Everyone has to enter the water and play a role in retrieving the sandcastle materials."
Alejandro groaned in annoyance before getting his composure quickly under control, "Okay we keep it simple. We use Owen as bait. The rest of us are athletic enough to retrieve the material and of the three of us Eva can take on the sharks to defend Owen." Alejandro stated, as Eva rolled her eyes.
Owen, despite his lack of trust in Alejandro, decided to take Alejandro's idea to heart "I'm nervous, but I trust you have my back Al."
In The Water with Team Victory
Team Victory had still maintained a lead and were now beginning to enact their plan. Tyler was floating in the water waiting for the shark to come in fear, before trying to look on the bright side, "Maybe getting scared by a shark will make me more popular with fans." Tyler tried to reason.
At that moment a shark popped up out of the water making Tyler scream, while Ezekiel quickly swam up to the shark, and then retrieved the bucket and shovel, however soon after the shark was chasing Tyler. Ezekiel called out "Jasmine help Tyler out, eh!" as Ezekiel grabbed the material off the shark
Jasmine didn't need to be told twice as she quickly approached the shark, however this quickly escalated into a wrestling match between Jasmine and the shark. "I got this fella." Jasmine yelled out as her and the shark were popping in and out of the water.
Harold swam up to a rather disheveled looking Tyler who was scared, "You okay, Tyler?" Harold asked.
"Just glad I'm not shark food. Should we go back and help Jasmine out?" Tyler asked, looking over to her.
"I think she'll be fine; besides they probably wrestle sharks back in Australia, don't you think?" Harold reasoned.
"Is that all you got?" Jasmine yelled out, off screen.
"See, I told you so. Now let's go meet Ezekiel and maintain this lead of ours." Harold said swimming away as a reluctant Tyler soon followed.
Confessional- Harold
"Before everyone glares at me, I know that didn't look great, but my petty side came out." Harold explained. "Jasmine agreeing with Ezekiel about his swimming skills made me get some subtle payback at Jasmine and besides if I would bet on money between Jasmine or the shark, I would pick Jasmine."
In The Water with Team Style
While Team Victory was heading out of the water, Team Style was enacting their plan with Owen floating in the water as a shark was going in circles. "Any chance you guys are dolphins?" Owen asked nervously as he grabbed the sandcastle materials.
"Ugh he is so useless." Alejandro stated while looking in disbelief that Owen said that. "Eva, go distract the shark now!"
"Bring it on, asswipe." Eva yelled out off camera as Sky and Alejandro winced at the sight.
"Safe to say she will be fine right?" Sky asked.
"Oh, definitely let's follow the tub of lard to the beach." Alejandro stated which made Sky frown at Alejandro for stating that insult at Owen, but also confused at Alejandro's pure disdain for Owen.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Eva is kind of batshit insane if you ask me, but her beating up the shark was fun to watch, wish it was Owen though." Alejandro said, scowling as he thought of Owen. "He is so useless and annoying."
Team Victory Castle Building
For Team Victory, the sandcastle building was beginning as the group of Lindsay, Millie, Damien, and Cameron. Each of them was beginning to feel optimistic about Team Victory winning the challenge.
Lindsay however was confused "What's the Castle of Versus? Is it something fancy?"
Cameron however was quick to correct Lindsay, "It's Versailles, Lindsay. Okay Lindsay should get us the sand for the castle, and someone should join her. How about Millie?"
"Why me? I know how the Castle of Versailles looks." Millie protested.
"Both Damien and I also know what it looks like and out of the three of us. Lindsay probably wants to spend some, what is it called, girl talk?" Cameron asked as Damien nodded his head. "So, Damien and I sculpt it. You and Lindsay get us the supplies and we should be able to keep this lead of ours." Cameron further explained.
As Lindsay and a rather reluctant Millie walked away, Damien decided to talk more with Cameron about the game as both did come together to eliminate DJ so Damien was curious to see if he and Cameron could work further along. "So, Cameron had any interesting game talks lately?" Damien asked.
Cameron however was confused about Damien's approach to him, "Game talk? I mean ever since DJ was voted out. I just wanted to focus on the challenge and not all the scheming if you ask me."
"Oh, that makes sense." Damien said, agreeing with Cameron to his face but his tone of voice said otherwise.
Beginning Challenge For Team Amazon
Team Amazon had luckily finally made it to the challenge area after even another setback "Stupid flat tire," Chef mumbled to himself before realizing he had to explain the challenge to Team Amazon. "Okay, I am going to quickly explain this challenge as I have to ride this train back and get the jet. Four of you are swimming with sharks to get sandcastle materials and those swimming with sharks are Topher, Emma, Heather, and Chase. Building the sandcastle which will be an exact replica of the Castle of Versailles will be Kitty, Mickey, Cody, and Sierra. When that is done a judge will give you guys boat keys and with the GPS Courtney, Gwen, Scott, Katie and Ella will take the boat and themselves to the southernmost tip of Iceland."
"Wait Chef, what about Anne Maria and Zoey?" Topher asked.
"Simple pretty boy, you guys have two extra members, so they are sitting out of the challenge, good? Good. Now I'm out of here." Chef said as he took the train back to Paris to get the jumbo jet.
"Okay people we don't have time; we need to get in position. Let's go!" Heather called out as everyone on Team Amazon was quickly moving around to where they needed to be.
Confessional- Heather
"Team Amazon up until today has been on a roll and I have to step up and get this momentum back for us. But being partnered up with both Chase and Emma may be the perfect opportunity for me to cause some drama, if need be, and cement Emma as an ally by any means necessary."
Sit out Area
Zoey and Anne Maria were waiting by a dock off the beach watching their team start beginning the challenge as both of them watched Topher go out into the water, "Go Team Amazon!" Zoey cheered out.
"Ugh, wish I was in the water with them, especially Topher." Anne Maria stated, looking at him specifically.
"Yeah, he is so hot, oop-" Zoey said quickly covering her mouth before noticing Anne Maria wasn't listening to her really but Zoey still had a feeling Anne Maria knew about her growing feelings towards Topher.
"Yep, I was gonna ask that boy out on a date, no one can resist me." Anne Maria stated confidently.
"Oh, this is awkward, because I was also going to ask him out." Zoey stated, looking away at Anne Maria in embarrassment.
"You know what toots, I'm gonna be the bigger person, and I'll let you have him." Anne Maria told Zoey.
Zoey was initially grateful that Anne Maria would be willing to let her date Topher, "Oh my gosh that is so amazing, after our little argument this morning I didn't think you would-." Zoey began to say before she realized something. "Wait a minute."
"What now, red?" Anne Maria asked annoyed,
"What do you mean, you'll let me have him? As though I don't have a shot with Topher regardless?" Zoey asked, getting more annoyed.
"Yes, of course. I mean you aren't ugly. But I am the total package, I have the hair, the body, and the jersey accent." Anne Maria bragged.
"Okay having a New Jersey accent isn't that much of a brag, and sure those things about you are probably true." Zoey said reluctantly complimenting Anne Maria. "But I believe I have just as good of a chance with Topher as you do." Zoey said, defending herself meekly.
"Go right ahead. I know he'll see me as the better girlfriend so bring it on!" Anne Maria taunted as she walked away heading to the helicopter that was meant to take them to Iceland. But Anne Maria also didn't want to be anywhere near Zoey, a feeling that was very mutual.
Confessional- Zoey
"You know, I was never crazy about Anne Maria." Zoey said, glaring when she mentioned Anne Maria. "Just something about her rubbed me the wrong way, she acts all high and mighty. When in reality she is not a nice person at all. I do want to ask Topher out and just finally have this one thing, I've struggled with friends, and I have always been bested when it comes to getting a boyfriend. I just want this one time for me to come out on top."
Confessional- Anne Maria
"It's funny that Zoey thinks she has a chance against me, I know Topher will ultimately ask me out. I am the icon, and Zoey would never last a day in my world. I'm Beyonce, and Zoey is a measly backup singer. She has no chance."
In The Water with Team Amazon/Musical Number
Topher, Chase, Emma, and Heather were swimming out to the sharks with the former two in front while Heather and especially Emma brought up the rear. "Heather, when should I tell Chase it's over between us?"
"Ugh, I don't know." Heather said angrily as the song bell dinged "Oh you have got to be kidding me. Anything but that. I figured they forgot about that."
A light breezy sound began as Chase began singing, "It's a beautiful day on the beach and if it were up to me, I would get a tan"
Emma chimed in "I have to make up my mind and it's time, I am done with a certain fool hearted man."
Chase turned his head around as the sound of a record player scratched as he said "What?"
(Song in tune with "Lesson in Leavin'" by Jo Dee Messina)
Heather picked the song back up pointing towards an angry Emma, "She is gonna give you a lesson and leave and give you back what you are deserving, and I hope that I'm around to watch Emma knock you down."
Emma sang next, "It's like you to love me and leave me, and it's like you to do that sort of thing, over and over again. You're a fool hearted man."
Chase was trying to defend himself "You girls got it all wrong,"
Emma however was not convinced "I know you want me back, but I am not going through that again, because you are the kind of man, I thought I could change, but the only thing changing is my way of thinking and I'm thinking that maybe someday."
Heather and Emma sang the next part together, "Somebody's gonna give you a lesson and lose, and someone is gonna do what you did to her/me. I hope that we're around to watch them knock you down, boy there's no doubt. You're a fool hearted man."
Topher sang next, unaware of the tension between the three of them, "He's the kind of man Emma thought she could change. But the thing changing is her way of thinking, and I hope that I am never a fool hearted man, and I hope for Chase someday."
Emma sang the final part to a close, "Somebody's gonna give him a lesson and leave, and I hope I can see them knock you down, because it's like you to love them and leave them like you loved me, let me down, and left me, over and over again. You're a fool hearted man."
Chase had been embarrassed during the whole song performance and backed right into a shark, "Aah!" Chase yelled in terror as the song faded out. Topher winced at the sight of Chase getting mauled while Emma and Heather both looked satisfied.
Confessional- Emma
"Oh my gosh, that was so liberating." Emma cheered to herself. "I needed to sing that so that Chase realized how I feel, and maybe he'll realize we're done, also once the shark is done mauling him."
Team Style Sand Castle Building
Owen, Alejandro, and Sky had made their way back to the water with the latter two looking fine while Owen was exhausted. The sand castle group was Bowie, Jen, Trent, and Noah with Noah asking what was on everyone's mind, "Where's Eva?"
Sky decided to explain, "She and the shark are fighting."
"Oh my gosh. We should help her." Jen said, however Noah stood in front of her before Jen could reach the water.
"Don't worry about Eva, she can handle that shark strong enough on her own, that shark should be scared of her." Noah reasoned. At that moment offscreen you could hear a shark absolutely scream in pain "My point proven."
"Okay that's enough shark murder if you ask me." Bowie said, cringing at the sight he saw from afar as Alejandro, Sky, and Owen ran to Chris' helicopter while the sand castle builders began working, with Bowie asking "Do any of you guys know what this castle looks like?"
Noah quickly spoke up, "I know what it looks like and it's a nice looking building."
Trent was the next person to speak up, "Do we have to build a life size replica of it."
"Do you really think Chris is sadistic enough to make all of us build 3 life size sand castles? We should just make it big enough for the judge. Since I know how it looks I'll help sculpt it and between Bowie and Trent, Bowie is more athletic so he should help me with the castle." Noah explained.
While Bowie and Noah were getting ready to build a sand castle Trent and Jen started gathering sand with Trent shoveling while looking wistfully at the sand, "Ugh, I hope I can get redemption." Trent said.
Jen raised her eyebrows looking at Trent in confusion. "Redemption? What are you talking about?" Jen asked.
Trent stood up in confusion, "I assume you didn't watch the first season?" Trent asked.
"No. I have been so focused on my fashion blog for the last year. I don't watch a ton of reality shows." Jen explained.
"Well last season, heading into it I was dating Gwen, the goth on Team Amazon." Trent began to say.
"Really, you and her? You guys seem like such an odd couple." Jen said.
"We were, I guess. Anyways, at this beach challenge about a week into the season. I start obsessing over the number 9, which I'll tell you the significance of at a later date. But Duncan misinterpreted my obsession with that number due to my name having 5 letters and Gwen's having 4. Which I to this day don't know if Duncan genuinely believed that or if he was trying to break Gwen and I up. But I let my paranoia about the number 9 and Duncan possibly trying to break Gwen and I up get to me. I felt so insecure about my relationship with Gwen that I decided to start throwing challenges for Gwen as we were on separate teams. Gwen broke up with me soon after within the week." Trent explained looking out at the water.
"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry you went through that." Jen said, offering her sympathies.
"It's weird though, I've had a year to reflect on it, and I think Gwen was right to break up with me. I have moved on and looking back, I know deep down it was my fault. But I just hope she's happy as she wasn't happy with me." Trent was saying but the camera panned to Jen who wasn't looking completely convinced of everything Trent was saying.
Team Victory Sand Castle Building
Millie, Cameron, Lindsay, and Damien were looking at the sandcastle "Are we sure the judge will like this?" Millie asked.
"If not, I don't know what more we can do." Damien stated. "Where is that man?" Damien asked, looking around as a small blonde person walked up to them. "This little guy can't be it, right?" The judge in anger threw the boat keys on the ground in anger.
"Maybe next time Damien, don't comment on someone's height," Cameron reasoned, "On the bright side all of our smarts together helped us out."
"Right, Carmen. I am so glad we built this great sand cattle." Lindsay said while Millie giggled at Lindsay missing Cameron's name.
"Lindsay, it's a sandcastle not cattle." Cameron told Lindsay, ignoring that Lindsay also forgot his name.
"I could've sworn I said castle." Lindsay told her teammates in embarrassment.
Confessional- Millie
(Shown writing in journal) "I swear Lindsay is downright fascinating with how often she forgets names or mixes stuff up. At times I wonder if she's a secret mastermind who is playing dumb."
Team Amazon In The Water
Chase was still nowhere to be seen after he was mauled by the shark when the musical number ended, but Topher managed to swim towards one of the sharks and snatched the sandcastle building material, "I got it ladies. I'm bringing it back alive." Topher cheered out as he was lifted, I'm the air as Emma and Heather looked on in worry "I'm on top of the shark, aren't I?" Topher asked, which both Emma and Heather nodded at before noticing that Chase was passed out in the mouth of the shark.
"Well, we found the shark at least." Emma said in worry. Before anyone could say anything more the shark took off with Chase still in the mouth and now Topher riding the shark for dear life. Emma put her hands in her face in exhaustion, "This is bad. We should probably help Topher, and I guess Chase."
"Ugh. Helping people isn't my m.o but we should probably prevent Topher and Chase from becoming shark food." Heather said as her and Emma took off for the shark.
Team Style Castle Building
Back over at Team Style, the sandcastle building was going pretty well so far as Trent and Jen kept a solid pace with the shovel and pail, while under Noah's guidance Bowie was doing a solid job with the building of the castle. "Not going to lie, it's nice to do a challenge that won't stand a chance to kill us." Bowie quipped.
"That's for the shark swimmers and boat drivers." Noah remarked before looking over to Trent and Jen, "Do you think those two will be a couple?" Noah asked coyly.
"I certainly think so, but Justin says otherwise." Bowie stated, "He thinks he is an absolute expert on Trent and how he will never fall in love on television again. I swear, he acts like he absolutely knows it all." Bowie said in annoyance as he went back to sculpting the castle.
"How ironic." Noah said to himself.
Confessional- Noah
"I swear this group of 4 they had for the sandcastle was such a random assortment of people. You have me, Trent and Jen who were too busy 'talking' and Bowie who is someone I have nothing in common with and who is aligned with Justin, one of the teammates I can't stand."
Team Victory's Speedboat
Over at Team Victory they had just entered their speed boat and began to take off with Geoff and Brody driving the boat, however Shawn noticed the engine was faulty, "Hey guys maybe we should go a little-" Shawn began to say until he was interrupted.
"Faster, faster, faster! Never say die!" Brody and Geoff cheered out with Shawn slightly glaring at the scene for being ignored as Leshawna and Bridgette were egging Brody and Geoff on leaving Shawn further annoyed.
Confessional- Shawn
"This just annoys me." Shawn complained. "No one on this team ever listens to me, DJ was the only one who heard me out and was my friend. It's so frustrating."
Team Amazon Beachside
Back with Team Amazon, an absolutely exhausted Topher and Emma got out of the water, along with an unconscious Chase and a very annoyed Heather following suit. Topher however was still freaked out about riding a shark for so long. "We made it, thank goodness." Emma stated in exhaustion.
"How bad is my hair?" Topher asked as Heather gave him a thumbs up so he wouldn't freak out.
The sandcastle group of Cody, Mickey, and Kitty winced at the sight. "I'm pretty sure Chase needs to see a doctor." Kitty stated.
"Well, no shit." Heather said impatiently as Emma and Topher despite their freaked-out state began taking Chase to the doctor. Before Heather left however, she quickly pulled Cody aside and whispered, "If we lose, I am still down to get rid of Sierra." Heather whispered as Cody gave her a thumbs up.
Unfortunately, at that exact moment Team Style completed their sandcastle, "Awesome." Trent cheered off screen. "We have a lead, let's not lose it to Team Amazon."
Mickey soon gulped in fear, "This is bad. We are so far behind. Cody and I are also two of the weakest ones here physically. Oh man, we are doomed." Mickey said fretting before his breathing started getting uneven and he was hyperventilating. "We're doomed!"
Kitty decided to try and take some form of leadership. "Mickey calm down, we just have to make the castle small. Cut corners, and maybe we can make up time, but we need all four of us together." Kitty boasted until she saw someone was missing, "Wait, 1, 2, where the heck is Sierra?" Kitty called out in annoyance,
"She has been kind of moody all day today and doesn't want to do the challenge." Cody stated. "Also, since you guys are here, she can't be near me, so she decided to mope."
"You've got to be kidding me." Kitty stated in annoyance before having a thinking look on her face. "Look, can you guys get the sand and start building the castle? I'll try and motivate Sierra to make her feel better, if she doesn't yell at me. Oh, but really quick." Kitty stated, grabbing her phone and taking a selfie with all 3 of them with Mickey completely surprised and Cody looking confused with a slight blush on his face.
Team Victory's Speedboat
Team Victory was going at a great pace until the engine's top blew open "Oh come on. Now what?!" Geoff yelled out in anger.
"How the hell could this have happened?" Leshawna asked in anger.
"Guys, I saw the engine was faulty and tried to say something." Shawn responded back.
"Why didn't you say something?" Leshawna asked, getting angrier.
"I tried to, but you guys kept celebrating and ignoring me every time I tried to say something." Shawn defended themselves.
Unfortunately, Shawn's defense only further annoyed Leshawna. "You are not gonna blame me for this and I am not going to take the fall for this." Leshawna argued back as her and Shawn's tension was getting worse. At the same time Brody was backing up from the potential confrontation and accidentally grabbed an exposed wire that jolted the boat forward. "Woah. What was that?" Leshawna yelled out.
"Ow!" Brody yelled out.
Bridgette was also confused, "What could have made the boat jolt like that?"
Geoff was the only one who noticed what Brody did "Brody dude, dude do that again."
"Do what again, woah?!" Bridgette exclaimed as Brody grabbed one of the wires that once again made the boat spring forward as Bridgette fell to the ground. "Wait, maybe we shouldn't borderline electrocute one of our team members to get the win."
Shawn, who was still wanting his voice to be heard had no issue with it, "Does anyone else have any other ideas. If not, I am gonna gladly help Brody with the wires so he isn't completely fried to a crisp." Shawn argued back as he grabbed one of the wires.
"I guess this'll do. Hold on to the boat for dear life Bridgette and Geoff, boys have at it." Leshawna ordered as Bridgette watched on in concern while Geoff was happy to have the boat moving again.
Team Style's Speedboat
In Team Style's speedboat they were still miles behind Team Victory, but due to Duncan driving the boat they were quickly making up ground as Duncan yelled out "This is my kind of challenge!"
The other passengers were Brick, Jo, Justin, and Julia. Julia didn't mind how fast Duncan was driving the boat, while Jo just wanted to lay low and not ruffle any feathers with the team despite that not being her style. Brick however decided to speak up "Soldier, ease back. Drive responsibly."
Duncan however, rolled his eyes and scoffed at that, "There's no fun in doing that."
Justin however was completely fed up with Duncan's driving "That's it. Give me the wheel, Duncan. Give me the wheel, we are off course and the GPS is malfunctioning"
"No, stop worrying, pretty boy. We're still on course and the GPS is fine." Duncan protested.
"We aren't on course men, so let me take the boat and drive!" Brick yelled out. Unfortunately, this just led to all 3 of Justin, Brick, and Duncan to fight over the wheel. Julia was shown smirking at the commotion while Jo was shown glaring at Jo.
Confessional- Jo
"I truly can't stand Julia." Jo declared. "She likes to pretend that she is some innocent little ditz, but I know deep down she's a liar, snake and traitor. I would love to send her home as soon as possible, but I can't." Jo complained. "I'm still just fighting to stay alive but mark my words Julia will go home eventually. I will make sure of it."
Confessional- Julia
"You know, I could have stopped the three of the guys from fighting and ripping each other's heads off, but I enjoyed the chaos." Julia explained. "Also made better by Jo being miserable during the whole thing."
Team Amazon Castle Building
Over at Team Amazon, they were starting to build their sandcastle or at least they were trying to specifically Cody and Mickey were trying to as Kitty was trying to convince Sierra to help out for the challenge. Unfortunately, having only Cody and Mickey doing the physical work of getting the sand in the bucket and delivering it to the designated building spot was proving to cost even more time.
Mickey, who was wheezing, said in exhaustion, "This is the hardest thing I've done this season so far."
Cody was not faring much better as he was also getting exhausted, "This challenge is such a disaster and of course we have the two physically weakest guys doing the most physical part of the challenge."
"Maybe we'll both end up super jacked after this?" Mickey joked with a meek tone.
Cody joined in on the joke, "Sure and then I'll be able to attract the ladies."
Mickey slightly winced at what Cody was saying, "I've actually never really felt an attraction. Whether it be ladies or guys. That stuff doesn't cross my mind." Mickey explained.
"Wait, you've never ever been in a relationship or tempted to be in one?" Cody asked, shocked.
"No, I haven't. Pretty girls or handsome guys don't talk to me or my twin brother that much unless it's our mother comforting us or a medical emergency with the doctors. Which also happens entirely too often." Mickey further explained. "It's why I never put a lot of thought or effort into anything romantic in my life. I have always had a lot bigger worries before I could think about that so falling in love and all that stuff never comes to mind. But being here, part of me wonders if I should try and fall in love."
"I mean, now you have this competition, and you have both me and Kitty as friends which is great. Speaking of Kitty, I hope she has gotten Sierra's head on straight." Cody said, watching Kitty and Sierra wistfully.
Unfortunately for Kitty and Sierra, it was not going well. "Lalalalala I can't hear you." Sierra said with her fingers in her ears.
Kitty was at her wits end "Come on Sierra help us with the challenge. It's ridiculous that you're acting like this."
Sierra stood up in anger at that notion, "Ridiculous? No, what's ridiculous is that I have never spent any time with Cody like I wanted to this season. It's not fair."
"Don't you think there'll be a challenge where both of you spend time together." Kitty reassured, as she was mainly trying to calm down Sierra.
"Not as long as you and Mickey spend so much time with him. I'm jealous that Cody is more interested in both you and Mickey more than me." Sierra said angrily.
"All of us are just really good friends, nothing more. I know neither of them look at me that way and it's all friendship. Besides, it's not your decision on whether Cody is interested in you." Kitty explained.
"Well if you and Mickey would stop spending so much time with Cody, then maybe I would know if he and I would hit it off, but you guys can't help but spend all your time with my Cody." Sierra said angrily.
"He's not yours. He is his own person." Kitty argued back.
"But I know everything there is about Cody and I don't want you and especially Mickey getting in the way." Sierra said angrily walking off.
Confessional- Kitty
"To say that Sierra is frustrating is an understatement. She is so annoying and for her to imply there is more beyond friendship with Cody, Mickey, and I?" Kitty asked rhetorically. "She's crazy. I have a great love radar, and I know both of them don't feel that way towards me."
Team Victory's Speedboat
Over at Team Victory's speed boat, they kept at a solid pace despite both Shawn and Brody having to shock themselves with the electric wires. "There's the finish line! How are Brody and Shawn doing?" Bridgette asked.
"Girl, they are getting fried, and I don't think we can have them do this again." Leshawna observed.
Geoff, looking very uneasy and with a sense of dread, knew what he had to do. "Let me grab it this one time. Hang on everyone!" Geoff called out as he held onto the electrical wire to give him and his teammates one last huge boost to the finish line.
With Chris waiting, Leshawna and Bridgette got out of the boat and helped each of the guys off the boat, with Brody and Shawn looking particularly bad while Geoff had a burnt hand. "Congratulations to Team Victory, from last place to first. You all dominated the challenge and never let go of that lead. Awesome!" Chris announced as Leshawna and Bridgette gave each other a celebratory hug while Geoff gave both Shawn and Brody pats on the back to celebrate before getting shocked himself.
"Oh right, yo Chris dude. Can we get Brody and Shawn to a medic? They don't look great at all. Oh, and I need to go to the burn doctor for my hand." Geoff asked.
Chris rolled his eyes before sighing and saying "Fine. But you guys will have some company."
"Who else got injured?" Bridgette asked as she then found out about Chase getting mauled by a shark.
Team Style's Speedboat
Back over at Team Style and their speedboat Justin, Brick, and Duncan were constantly fighting over who was getting the wheel. As Jo watched on annoyed while Julia was filing her nails. Unfortunately for everyone in the boat Brick used a bit too much brute force and accidentally ripped the steering wheel off the boat "Oopsie. That can't be good." Brick said in fear.
Sure, enough the boat started completely spinning in circles making everyone on the boat dizzy and nauseous.
Confessional- Julia
"I didn't really care that Brick, Duncan, and Justin were fighting over the wheel." Julia said. "But Brick was a total idiot and broke the wheel which having the boat break down pissed me off. Honestly, I could send any 3 of them home once Jo is gone and I wouldn't care. They are all so annoying."
Back To Scene
Back on the boat, everyone on Team Style was still screaming and nervous on the boat with it spinning out of control. Luckily for them it landed right on the dock where the rest of Team Style that wasn't on the boat and Chris were waiting for them. "Congrats to Team Style. Epic finish, but while you guys don't get to experience first class none of you are going home."
Justin however had a look of pure dizziness and nausea on his face. "That's great Chris." Justin said sarcastically. "Is there a doctor around or something? I am still way too dizzy."
Chris rolled his eyes again as he felt like it was Deja vu. "Down the pier we should have medical treatment. I seriously didn't think this challenge would require so much medical attention especially because I didn't even approve of it preseason."
Team Amazon Castle Building
Back with Team Amazon, Cody and Mickey had luckily finally put the finishing touches on their castle as Kitty was still trying to get Sierra to help with the challenge. "Finally, we're done." Mickey said, exhausted as he fell to the ground. "At least the evening sky is nice tonight."
"Definitely." Cody stated, looking at the red evening sky. "Let's go get the clue. Maybe one of the teams got lost on the way to Iceland." Cody reasoned. Unfortunately, at that moment, Chris landed on the beach with his helicopter as Cody sighed at the sight. "That can't be good."
"Not at all." Mickey said, also sighing as Kitty and Sierra walked up to the scene, as did Courtney, Gwen, Scott, Katie, and Ella, the people who were meant to drive the speedboat.
"Yeah, you guys sucked today." Chris bragged which made many of them roll their eyes. "Team Style finished over an hour ago."
"So, are we just going to have elimination here then?" Kitty asked.
"It's still happening in the jumbo jet as everyone is back in Iceland, so here's the keys to your speedboat. Now for the boat crew of Gwen, Courtney, Katie, Ella, and Scott all of you guys are immune tonight since you didn't actually compete in the challenge, so I guess congratulations. Elimination is in a few hours. Good luck." Chris announced.
Confessional- Courtney
"It's only fair that I stay safe since I didn't compete. But that is the only thing I have to be happy with today, all the momentum Team Amazon had, is now down the toilet." Courtney, complained. "I swear whenever we lose, we lose in embarrassing style."
Confessional- Katie
"I'm just thankful to be immune tonight. I have to think Ella, or I would be potentially talked about from elimination since we were slow to the train station." Katie said frowning about losing her best friend. "But I'm thankful to be safe tonight and I am glad Ella is safe as well."
Team Amazon's Speedboat
For Team Amazon the mood was very tense and somber as Gwen was driving the boat. All that was on Gwen's mind was how they could lose this challenge and lose it so embarrassingly as well. Gwen was also wondering who to even vote for, Heather was still a huge pain in the ass for her, Sierra annoyed her and cost the team a lot of time, and Chase was mauled by a shark and could be a liability.
Near Gwen were two of her closest allies in Scott and Courtney who were talking, "Feels great to be immune tonight." Scott bragged.
"Have you thought of who to eliminate tonight?" Courtney asked. "I still think Heather would be perfect to eliminate."
Scott however winced at that, "Heather's an option but we should talk it out. Keep in mind Sierra cost the team valuable time and Chase got mauled by a shark."
"I get it Scott, but I'm nervous the more we let Heather skate by, the more dangerous she'll be. Not to mention she let Chase get mauled by a shark" Courtney explained as she and Scott discussed what happened to Chase.
At another part of the boat was Mickey whose face was looking sick and rather green, "Today is not my day at all." Mickey lamented before throwing up again.
Cody and Kitty were comforting Mickey, "It's okay buddy. We're almost to Iceland." Cody said, comforting Mickey, "And he's passed out now from exhaustion. Ugh, I hope he feels better."
"Same here, but best to let him rest. I just want to say it's genuinely sweet how much you care for him." Kitty remarked which made Cody look embarrassed.
"Yeah, Mickey is like the brother I never had growing up." Cody stated.
"What, were you an only child growing up?" Kitty asked.
"Yep, never had any brothers or sisters growing up. It was just me, my mom, and my father. Do you have any siblings?" Cody asked back.
"Just one. My older sister Emma." Kitty said, which made Cody's ears perk up as Kitty continued on, "She just got out of a romantic relationship, and we aren't as close as I would like us to be." Kitty further said.
Confessional- Cody
"Maybe I'm going to sound crazy. Truly I think I may sound like Izzy, but Kitty has a sister named Emma who was just getting out of a bad relationship. I have a theory about her and Emma, that we are competing with are secretly sisters despite not looking alike as well." Cody explained. "Kitty told me her sister is closed off, pretty athletic, and in a past relationship all things that describe Emma. Maybe I'm sounding like Sierra." Cody shuddered at that. "But it would be like Chris to have a secret sister twist."
Economy Class
The rest of Team Amazon had made it to the jumbo jet that was docked off the coast of Iceland with Team Amazon still having a couple of hours before elimination. Within the plane was Scott and Heather who were talking on one of the benches "Okay, thank goodness we got back in time. Now we can discuss who to eliminate." Scott bragged.
"That's great." Heather said sarcastically.
"Okay, Courtney told me you let Chase get mauled by a shark. Is that true?" Scott asked.
"Of course. Emma deserves better than his childish ass. Besides I wanted to rope her in as an ally and us getting rid of her horrible ex-boyfriend is the perfect way to do that, I mean do you think she deserves Chase?" Heather asked back in annoyance as Scott was shown thinking intensely.
"I was just thinking. No, she doesn't deserve him, so I assume we are both voting Chase out?"
"About that, you're voting Chase out and he's hopefully leaving. I gotta vote Sierra out tonight." Heather explained.
"Wait, run that by me again?" Scott asked, looking in pure confusion at what Heather just said.
"I promised Cody and his little crew of Mickey and Kitty before the New York challenge, that I would vote Sierra out and this would earn their loyalty moving forward." Heather further said.
"Why can't they just vote out Chase with us and Emma?" Scott asked.
"Do you really think those 3 are gonna pass the opportunity to vote Sierra out? They all can't stand her, but Sierra is a good scapegoat to have. Just get the votes to send Chase out and this will all go perfect for us." Heather confidently said.
"I never agreed with this, and I can just as quickly turn this around on you Heather. Gwen and Courtney are waiting to send you home and what's stopping them from sending you home? Oh right, it's me." Scott said in growing anger.
"You and I both know that if you send me home, both our games are done." Heather noted, which Scott knew deep down was true.
"Fine, I'll get the votes to send Chase home, but next time we lose, I decide who gets sent home. Deal?" Scott asked which Heather nodded too, "Okay, let me get to work."
Confessional- Heather
"I am taking a huge risk trying to bring Emma as an ally, but now Scott is willing to threaten me with elimination?" Heather asked angrily. "What a weasel. All I can do is hope that this doesn't blow up in my face. I need to build an army to take out Gwen and Courtney down the road, but Scott can't figure that out. He's close to them."
Confessional- Scott
"It's funny, I am in complete control of this team. I could send Heather out as all I need to do is say it's time to get rid of Heather, and both Courtney and Gwen will pounce on that." Scott explained. "But Heather lays her whole game out for me, so she has to be most loyal to me. I can't let her gain too much power though. I could send Sierra home, Chase could go home, or I could blow this whole team up and send Heather home. Nothing is set in stone, but I love being in power. It's not a feeling I'm used to."
Plane Entrance
Zoey and Anne Maria were both sitting by the entrance to the jumbo jet as both glared at each other, the tension was soon broken up when both heard a knocking on the door and Chase's voice, "Hey can someone get the door for me?" Chase called out as Zoey opened the door as Chase was shown with a mangled face, a black eye, and a broken arm.
"Oh my gosh, I heard the shark attack was bad but that is just ugly." Anne Maria said, getting a harsher glare from Zoey.
"Are you okay Chase?" Zoey asked in concern.
"I'll be fine in a week at the latest. Just can't give my all in challenges. I'm just going to assume we lost the challenge?" Chase asked which Zoey nodded too. "That sucks, I hope you ladies keep me around, I wish I could see Emma, but I imagine she doesn't want to see me right now. I'm going to go take a nap." Chase said, walking slowly away.
With Zoey and Anne Maria once again alone in the same room, Zoey decided to break the tension "We need to talk as things are difficult between us."
"Okay, Red, stop making it sound like we're the ones in the relationship." Anne Maria said in pure disgust.
"Sorry. My point is, we both like Topher but the more we fight over him, the more it hurts all of us in the game. That's why for the sake of Topher and our alliance both of us should wait until after the game to pursue something with Topher. For all we know he likes me, you, or neither of us. But let's just not ask him out until after the show." Zoey explained.
"Ugh, I don't want to admit it but you're probably right. I'll call a truce with you but make no mistake I still hate you." Anne Maria stated.
"Same here." Zoey said honestly. At that moment Topher walked up to them unaware that both of them were just talking about them.
"Hey Zoey, Anne Maria. Finally found you ladies. Elimination starts in like 20 minutes. Do you guys have any ideas?" Topher asked.
"No, we were just talking about girl stuff, makeup, jewelry. All that stuff." Zoey quickly said.
Luckily for her Topher bought it, "Well Scott came up to me and offered a deal for all of us, but I want to make sure it's okay with you both." Topher told both Zoey and Anne Maria as the camera flashed away to a confessional with Zoey.
Confessional- Zoey
"I really hope I can trust Anne Maria with this truce." Zoey said. "But my trust with her is at a very low level. Microscopic levels of trust. Here's hoping she doesn't screw me over."
Elimination Ceremony
Blaineley was with all 15 members of Team Amazon with many small groups sitting together, as everyone looked exhausted. "Team Amazon after 3 straight first place finishes, all of you are back in the elimination ceremony for the second time. So, I'll give you a quick refresher, in the confessional booth there are 15 passports with everyone's faces, stamp whoever you want out but if you stamp multiple passports your vote is invalid. Cody, you're up first."
Confessional- Cody
"Second time's the charm, for my sake, Mickey's sake, and Kitty's I hope you go home tonight, Sierra."
Confessional- Heather
"This is a means to an end, so I can control the team. Sorry, Sierra. I really hope Scott pulls through tonight."
Confessional- Emma
"Genuinely can't wait to see you leave. I would stamp this passport more Chase, but I don't want to be reminded of your stupid face."
Confessional- Chase
"I hope you go home tonight, Heather. You're my best chance of staying tonight."
Confessional- Scott
"Tonight is a huge risk, but in my gut, you leaving makes the most sense as you won't help my game anymore."
Confessional- Anne Maria
"As tempting as it would be to send Zoey out. That's a loss cause. So, I'll listen to what Topher has to say and vote for-"
Back To The Elimination Ceremony
Blaineley was busy analyzing the votes, "Hmm, interesting. Never figured they would get a vote. Okay passengers. First of all, safe with no votes and immunity are the following Gwen, Anne Maria, Katie, Zoey, Ella, Courtney, and Scott. All of you are immune. Here are your marshmallows."
"Thank you Ms. Blaineley," Ella politely said.
Blaineley however ignored Ella and continued with the ceremony, "Safe with no votes and no immunity tonight are Emma, Cody, Kitty, and Topher." Blaineley announced.
"I got votes?" Mickey asked in astonishment as his heart rate started rising.
"Yep, you did Mickey, but it was only 1 vote so here is your marshmallow." Blaineley announced as Mickey quickly sighed a sigh of relief with Cody giving him a gentle pat on the back, while Sierra snapped her fingers in anger that her attempt to get rid of Mickey instead of Kitty this time backfired on her and she was the only vote and that once again she was at the bottom.
"This can't be happening." Sierra said in annoyance and fear she got multiple votes, again.
"It is Sierra. You along with Heather, and Chase all received multiple votes. Please step forward." Blaineley announced with all of them stepping forward off the bleachers. "Heather this is your first time in the bottom this season. You're down here because you are a threat, not well liked and also slowed the team down with the shark attack on Chase."
"Hey, I give it my all in challenges." Heather defended herself.
"Moving on to Chase. You were the recipient of a brutal shark attack today and this is your second time down here. Do you think the team will see you as a liability?" Blaineley asked.
"I don't think they will as I'm a quick healer, and it was more of these two that cost us the challenge. Not me." Chase said in defense of himself.
"Finally, we move on to Sierra. This is your second time in the bottom tonight, you're down here due to how annoying your teammates find you and the fact you walked to the train station putting your team on the back end of the challenge from the jump." Blaineley explained to Sierra,
"Let's just get this over with." Sierra said as she seemed like she was accepting of her defeat in a way.
"Alright kill all the joy. The vote was 7 votes to 4 to 3. Safe with 3 votes tonight is… Heather!"
"Yes!" Heather cheered out, running straight back to the bleachers.
"The final marshmallow of the night goes too…."
…
…
…
…
…
…
….. Sierra." Blaineley announced.
"Oh my gosh, thank you. Thank you!" Sierra cried out in relief.
"With that Chase, you have been officially eliminated from, Total Drama World Race. Any final words?" Blaineley asked.
Chase gave a huge sigh, "Not much. Emma, I'm sorry for all the emotional damage I put you through with how I ignored how badly you wanted out and for not being a better boyfriend. I just hope you find somebody who loves you as much as I did for you. Good luck Emma." Chase said jumping just a little way off the ground since the jet was docked and he would soon be picked up by producers.
"I hope I don't regret this." Both Emma and Scott said at the same time.
"Team Amazon you guys are down to 14, which is still better than both of the other teams being down to 13 so you still have a one player advantage. But time will tell if today's loss was a fluke or if you guys are on a downward spiral challenge wise. Good night." Blaineley announced as the camera cut away to the confessional cam.
Confessional- Courtney
"I really wanted to get rid of Heather. I really did and knowing that 3 other people who weren't me voted her off?" Courtney asked rhetorically. "Ugh, that is so frustrating. Gwen and I could have at least tied the vote. But Scott told me that keeping Chase is dead weight even if he heals quickly as it's not a guarantee he sits out in the challenge." Courtney said as she looked down on the ground. "Please don't have me regret this decision."
Confessional- Topher
"Getting rid of Chase was a mercy act due to the shark attack. I don't think I'll regret this, but I just don't want this to backfire on me, or Zoey, or Anne Maria."
Confessional- Scott
"I decided to eliminate Chase for many reasons, one he was mauled by a shark." Scott explained as if it was obvious. "Two he and I never spoke that much at all, so he was never going to further my game at all" Scott said as he held up a second finger. "3 it kept Heather happy for now. But if Heather is willing to build an army with Emma, and the 3 idiots of Kitty, Mickey, and Cody then I am not a close ally to her. I need my own loyal allies. Hence why Topher, Zoey, and Anne Maria voted Chase out with a deal to protect each other which I will abide by and more importantly Heather will never know this deal, but maybe she'll find out when she's eliminated sooner than later."
Confessional- Heather
"This vote was a huge risk but somehow I got everything I wanted tonight, Chase is out, Emma is probably keen on working with me, I potentially have Cody and his two little friends following me since they think I voted with them. I am so close to running this team but there is more work to be done, and this time I don't think I need country boy Scott to help me out."
Right Outside The Plane
Chris and Blaineley were standing just outside the jet with the sky now being dark out. "We are down to the Top 40 folks!" Chris announced.
"What will happen next time with a power struggle emerging between Scott and Heather. Can Jo get her way out of the bottom of Team Style, how will Emma play the game now that Chase has been eliminated and finally who will take the plunge as we stay in Iceland.
Both announced at the same time, "Find out next time on Total Drama World Race!"

Author Notes
Wow! Over 15,000 words for this chapter. Definitely another big chapter. Hope everyone reading it enjoys it, however.
So for this Ridonculous Race episode and turning it into a World Tour challenge, I simply made it a race with each of the teams from the Louvre to Iceland. Also instead of a travel tip on the fin of the shark I decided to have it be sand castle building materials to keep it more simple. Oh and the musical number was inspired by one of my favorite songs growing up.
This was a chapter I also wanted to move some plots forward mainly from Team Amazon, (Scott and Heather's dynamic, Heather's insecurities from last season, the Kitty/Mickey/Cody/Sierra dynamic, love triangle of Topher, Anne Maria, and Zoey, Katie and Ella's friendship) and bring one of those plots to an end (Emma and Chase's relationship).
Now on that note. Time to talk about Chase as he is our latest boot. The main thing he has in the revival was his dynamic with Emma and I liked the idea of having a bickering broken up couple this season. But I knew that it would get old quickly, and looking for plots beyond that with Chase was really difficult, so I decided it was best to have him eliminated early but to also have him realize the error in his ways at the end. I have come around to liking Chase a little bit more as the dude is just a complete doofus in the first season of the revival. Hope his portrayal wasn't too bad for his fans.
Next chapter is all about choices in Iceland. Some people make a choice for the better. Some for the worse, and another player is eliminated in an elimination some may not see coming.
I leave with some questions
1. Who is your favorite character 8 episodes in?
2. Who are some characters you want to hear more or less from?
3. Finally, who do you see getting eliminated next time?
Until then this is TDFan1998 signing off. If you are reading this please, leave a review, feedback, anything is appreciated to make this story even better. Thank you so much to everyone who has read this so far.
