Total Drama World Race- New Beijing Part 2
Street Food Site
The episode picks up immediately after the commercial break, with the challenge now started as everyone had to decide who was eating the food, and who was going to prep it. For some duos the decision was unexpected, "I'm eating the food, I need to show my team I am in it to win it eh!" Ezekiel cheered out, determined to show his team how strong he was.
Owen, who was partnered with Ezekiel, couldn't hide his disappointment, "I wonder if I can make a separate skewer for myself." Owen wondered, looking at the greaser with a smile.
Ezekiel shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't think that's smart eh. But I can see what the vendor will say."
The duo of Heather and Katie next approached the challenge, "I am going to eat it!" Heather proudly declared. "Need to show the team we are both worth keeping."
"Thanks, Heather." Katie said, and for herself she was actually starting to warm up to the idea of working together with Heather, something she never thought.
The next duo was Geoff, and Duncan, "You eat, I am going to skewer it." Geoff declared. "I know you have a tough stomach dude."
"Damn right I do." Duncan said, as he also wanted to eat the food to impress Gwen. "Hey Geoff, can I just say I'm sorry."
Geoff who had begun skewering had let go of the first stick. "Damn it!" Geoff yelled out. "What was that, Duncan?"
Duncan noticed Geoff didn't hear him, but decided to repeat himself, "I'm just sorry. I assume you hold it against me that I voted you out the first 2 seasons." Duncan asked, as Geoff shook his head. "You're not mad?"
"No, why would I? There are so many things to be mad about in this game. I am just happy we are bros again." Geoff said, focusing back on his skewers. "Hopefully both our teams win, and Team Amazon loses." Geoff said as Duncan raised his eyebrows at that notion, since Gwen was on that team, something that Geoff quickly took note of, "Also Gwen stays safe for your sake."
"Exactly." Duncan said as he was glad Geoff picked up on his drift. "She is so amazing." Duncan said in awe.
"When are you going to go out with her then?" Geoff asked, "It's not like you have to worry about Courtney retaliating." Geoff said, before looking wide-eyed. "There's a word I never thought I would say. But dude, seriously just go out with her."
"It's just that I crumble around her, and you saw what happened the last time I asked a girl out on this show. It turned her into a monster, and that monster being Courtney." Duncan explained. "I don't want the same thing to happen with Gwen."
"Maybe it will, maybe it won't, you won't know until you try though dude." Geoff explained.
The next ones up were Tyler and Lindsay, "I eat, you prep, Tyler." Lindsay barked out. "Not that you can handle this."
"Oh, I am going to enjoy this." Tyler said with a chuckle as Harold and Alejandro walked up next.
"I'm eating this, but you aren't leaving my eyesight." Harold told Alejandro. "I know you would poison me in a heartbeat."
"Oh, come on, you're being ridiculous." Alejandro stated, as the camera shows Alejandro crossing his fingers behind his back. The next duos shown were Cody and Noah along with Trent and Sky.
Noah had a look of pure determination, as he wanted to prove to Sky, they could be a great couple together, "I eat, you prep." Noah demanded.
Sky at the same time decided she wanted to relax Trent as he still had a lot of nerves that he was going to be the next person eliminated from Team Style, "I am going to eat, you just prep Trent."
For both Cody and Trent, neither of them minded being the ones to skewer. Cody found Noah's whole display of confidence kind of funny, "Noah is in love." Cody told Trent.
Trent chuckled at Cody's statement, "It's funny that someone so miserable could feel love." Trent joked with his bandmate.
Noah however overheard both of them, and he wasn't amused. "Oh, both of you just shut up." Noah bitterly said. "I am not doing this for love and as if you two have any room to talk. One of you is chasing a girl who is out of your league, while the other one of you is in complete denial about who you actually like." Noah told both Cody and Trent.
For Trent, he instantly shut up, as he knew that Noah was implying that Jen was out of his league, however Cody misinterpreted Noah's insult. "Kitty is not out of my league, dude."
The last duos shown before the challenge was officially underway were Anne Maria and Mickey, along with Kitty and Topher. "I'm skewering, and you're eating this twerp." Anne Maria barked out. "No questions!"
"Fine whatever." Mickey sarcastically stated. "Sorry that the diva can't handle this."
Anne Maria was immediately offended by Mickey's statement, "Oh fuck off. You need to get tougher anyway."
Kitty and Topher flinched at the tough exchange, neither enjoying this at all, "Are you going to talk to her about this change in attitude?" Kitty asked.
"I've definitely considered it." Topher said, before looking at the challenge, and getting a bit queasy. "Oh god. Can I skewer it, and you eat it?" Topher asked.
"Of course, I assume you don't want to get food on your shirt." Kitty asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yep, back home my folks have always told me that appearances were the most important thing." Topher said, before he paused, "Even if I don't fully believe that."
"Well, it's on the inside that matters most, not the outside." Kitty told Topher.
"I agree." Topher said, as he began to smile, "Getting to know everyone here has been amazing. Mickey and Zoey are people I don't know if I ever would have gotten to know back home." Topher said, before his smile faltered. "But I also know that I need to make my family proud of how I behave." Topher said, as he went to skewer, leaving Kitty in a stunned state of silence.
Confessional- Kitty
"Topher is an absolute enigma of a person, I tell you. I assumed heading into this game, he was going to be this guy who is focused solely on his looks and nothing more." Kitty said before chuckling and continuing on. "But there is more to him than that. Which is insane. He's hiding something. But it's not my business to ask."
Challenge
As the challenge was now fully underway, Gwen opened one of the crates, and saw it was bats, something she personally liked, but instantly freaked out her partner Bridgette. "Sorry about that Bridgette. I know you have a bad history with bats after Season 1." Gwen told Bridgette.
"It's fine, gah!" Bridgette said before a bat attacked her face, "Get it off me!" Bridgette yelled out in fear as she began running around while Gwen had to try and get a wild bat off her partner's face.
Confessional- Gwen
"Bats are creatures, I have always found them strangely beautiful. I know I am weird for that one. But them attacking Bridgette was probably something I should have seen coming."
Back To Scene
Alejandro and Harold weren't having an easy time with this challenge either, as while Alejandro managed to quickly skewer the food, Harold was already gagging after only a couple of bites. Alejandro however wasn't amused. "Quit being such a baby and man up, what would Leshawna think about you acting like this." Alejandro told Harold, however before Alejandro could continue to taunt Harold he was met with a fist to the face from Harold and a black eye in return. "Asshole." Alejandro said as he hit the ground from Harold's punch,
Others were shown struggling, whether it be Tyler opening a box only for a snake to pop up and start choking him "Help me, Lindsay!" Tyler weakly called out.
"Maybe you two should be in a popularity club together." Lindsay sarcastically said, before noticing "Tyler you look blue."
Anne Maria was shown trying to stab one of the containers for the worms, however the worms had managed to drag her into the box covering her in junk. "My body!" Anne Maria cried out.
"Oh, that's too funny." Mickey said, until he saw Anne Maria's harsh glare. "What are you doing, gah!" Mickey asked, before he got dragged into the same box and ended up screaming bloody murder at what he was covered in.
Geoff tried for the third time this challenge to get a skewer to work only for this one to drop into the fryer. "Damn it not again."
Duncan however didn't mind how the challenge was going, "Dude it's fine, just relax."
"Where is this nice side coming from, have you gone soft Duncan?" Geoff asked.
"I am not soft. I just have decided that I am not going to be a dick to someone unless they absolutely deserve it." Duncan explained.
One of those people who Duncan wouldn't mind being a dick to, was Scott who had decided he still needed to throw the challenge to protect Courtney. Even if Bowie did sabotage Courtney and made her look bad, Scott would just ask the team to vote him out over her regardless, "Ugh I can't get these bugs at all."
Scott's partner in this was Brody, who was completely unaware that his partner was sabotaging him and was just enjoying the challenge, "Aw dude you got this." Brody told Scott, "You're probably a natural at this stuff. Brody's positive words of affirmation had thrown Scott off, and he was shown looking unsure.
Confessional- Scott
"There's like a miniature part of me that feels bad that I am sabotaging Brody. The dude is a nice guy, and it isn't exactly fair to him that he got caught up in this." Scott said as he looked down at the ground. "But I have to protect Courtney at all costs."
Back To Scene
The scene continued on as Ezekiel and Owen were getting chased by bats, "This is terrifying!" Owen yelled out.
"This wasn't part of the challenge eh!" Ezekiel said, as he was also freaked out.
One duo however hadn't even started the challenge, and that was Millie and Damien, as both looked queasy at the challenge as a whole. "I am not sure I can do the eating part." Millie weakly said.
"Oh, come on Millie, it's just worms." Damien said, as a way to also psyche himself out, however the mention of worms made Millie run off screen and puke. "I can't even say the word worms?" Damien asked and was met with Millie puking again.
Confessional- Millie
"Growing up in my small town, I was never well liked, and I was dared by this girl to eat a worm in elementary school and when I did, I puked for a week straight. I have been scared of them ever since." Millie said before she puked again. "What sucks is that Damien, no matter what, refused to eat the bugs. At times Damien sucks as an ally."
Challenge Site
Topher is shown trying to get the scorpions out with the skewer, "Come on you little creatures, get on the stick." Topher said, as he was still failing.
"Come on Topher, maybe be careful." Kitty suggested.
"Caution is getting me nowhere, maybe I need to be a little dangerous for once in my life." Topher said as he tried to use only his hands only for the vendor to slap his hand away, "Oh come on ma'am I got this, don't worry, AAHH!" Topher said until his hand got bitten by at least a dozen scorpions, "Ow!" Topher yelled out as he began flailing scorpions around.
One of these scorpions had landed right on Julia's face. "Aah! Jo, get this bug off of me! Get it off me!" Julia asked.
"Stand back." Jo said as she started punching Julia in the face to get it off, and also to get some revenge on Julia for being the vote that sent Brick home back in the Amazon. "This is so much fun!" Jo said as she continued to punch Julia in the face.
"Not like this bitch!" Julia said as Jo kept on punching her face.
For Cody and Noah, Cody had managed to get all of the animals except for the scorpions and bats, however his progress was destroyed when the scorpion he was trying to get destroyed the stick, "No, come on!" Cody cried out before noticing Noah laughing. "What are you all smiling about? Is it Sky?" Cody asked.
Noah kept smiling and decided that he was going to let Cody know how he saw things, "No not Sky. I just realized you are just as pathetic as your boyfriend is." Noah told Cody, as Cody stopped dead in his tracks.
Cody was stunned silent for a quick second, there was no way Noah could have known about himself and Mickey kissing in Dubai, yet Cody knew Noah was implying Mickey. However, Cody decided to play dumb. "I don't have a boyfriend. Since last time I checked Kitty is not a guy."
"I wasn't talking about Kitty, I am talking about Mickey, you know the guy who you spend so much time with until I guess today." Noah said. "I never imagined you as the type to go for someone even smaller than you."
"I am dating Kitty you asshole." Cody bitterly said, trying to make it clear to Noah he didn't want to talk about Mickey at all. "Besides, Mickey and I are friends, or at least were." Cody said
"Fascinating, who are you trying to convince? Me or yourself? We both know you can't hold a grudge long and will probably be talking with Mickey within the next week." Noah told Cody who was now silent. "Just get skewering, but deep down, you and I both know I am right."
"Whatever." Cody bitterly said as he went to get another skewer. "I am straight…. Right?" Cody asked himself with no one hearing him, as he grabbed his second skewer for the challenge.
Confessional- Tyler
"Like I said earlier, today I am going to be a bad cop, so skewering something for Lindsay today when she is taunting me. Makes the challenge easier. After today though I will be better."
Back To Scene
The aftermath of Topher's scorpion incident was shown as he now had a huge goofy grin on his face, and in general seemed out of it. "Are you okay?" Kitty asked Topher. "You don't look so good."
Topher said in a goofy tone, "Mother and father will never know my true happiness. I'm a goofy goober!" Topher said as he began mimicking the SpongeBob song of the same name.
"He will heal, just give it time, here's hoping he can focus." Kitty said before looking around, "Where is he?"
Back over with Jo and Julia, Jo was feigning concern for her partner, "How are you feeling?" Jo asked.
Julia was not pleased, her nose was broken, she had scratch marks all over her face, and a scorpion in her hair. "I can't feel my face." Julia weakly said. "You are in a world of hurt when this challenge is done Jo."
"Toughen up barbie doll." Jo said and then shoved the skewered food down Julia's throat and forced her to chew it. "Done we're in first place." Jo called out as she and Julia both earned 15 points for Team Style.
"Done!" Duncan announced a few seconds later showing his mouth was empty.
"Great to see competitors. Oh, and another team is done!" Blaineley said turning to show Trent and Sky. "3rd place for you guys!"
Millie and Damien however had still not even started the challenge however, as neither wanted to do it. "Millie, you have to eat this, or we'll lose the challenge for the team. I will just skewer up the worms-" Damien began to say as Millie ran off screen again to puke.
Tyler, who had taken a break since Lindsay took a bathroom break, walked up to Damien. "Dude, what the hell is wrong with you?" Tyler asked Damien. "What type of teammate tells a teammate to pretty much just suck it up, when she is clearly uncomfortable."
"You really want to play this game, Tyler?" Damien asked, turning around to face Tyler, the person at one point he thought was his ally, and who was now the last person Damien wanted to see. "What type of ex-boyfriend gives his ex-girlfriend disgusting street food and not just take it like a man?" Damien asked Tyler.
"I at least have a girlfriend. All you focus on is the game, numbers, and scheming. You're no better than people like Heather." Tyler coldly told Damien.
At that point, Tyler comparing Damien to Heather was the straw that broke the camel's back, "How dare you. You know what Tyler?"
"What?!" Tyler yelled out.
"I am done with you Tyler." Damien yelled back. "I am done working with you, and you are no gentleman like you claim you are, I can't believe I ever aligned with someone as stupid as you." Damien told Tyler.
"Well, I am done too, you don't know how to talk to people at all, and if we lose tonight, I guarantee you will be going home!" Tyler yelled out as he stormed off.
"I can say the same to you, jerk!" Damien yelled back, before noticing Millie returned. "What?!"
Millie was beside herself at this point, "I am gone for maybe 2 minutes, and now you're yelling." Millie asked. "What the heck happened with you and Tyler just now."
"We're done working with him, once that pain in the ass Brody is gone, I want Tyler gone." Damien demanded. "I don't care. Tyler is a total player, and a scumbag. Now I am gonna skewer this food." Damien said sternly before he finally dropped his anger, noticing Millie looking queasy. "Sorry Millie. I didn't mean to take my anger out on you."
"It's…. It's fine." Millie quietly said, as Damien went to skewer.
Confessional- Millie
"I know what I have to do the next time Team Victory loses." Millie sadly said looking down. "I hope he understands."
Back To Scene
"4th" Harold and Alejandro are shown glaring at each other with Blaineley telling the placements, "5th." Bridgette and Gwen are shown high fiving each other, even as Bridgette had scratches on her face. At this point Team Style had amassed 82 points for the first challenge while Team Victory had only 37, and Team Amazon had only 11 since Gwen was the only one on the board.
Back over at the fryer, Cody and Owen had both managed to get their complete skewer, Cody however was still bugged about Noah's implications of him and Mickey. But at first he wanted to just establish some comradery with Owen. "Hey Owen, just so you know, I know that Noah is crushing on Sky."
"It's adorable Cody." Owen gushed, before his face fell, "But I don't want to lose my little buddy."
"I wouldn't worry about that Owen." Cody stated, before now wanting to approach the subject he actually wanted to talk about. "Owen, do you know why people think I am dating Mickey?" Cody asked. "I am obviously with Kitty."
Owen was thrown off by Cody's question but decided it was best to not cause any trouble, "I have no idea buddy."
Confessional- Owen
"I know why people may think that about Cody, but out of respect to him, I am not going to say anything." Owen stated. "That's for him to figure out, as he is an adult like the rest of us."
Back To Scene
Noah was then shown eating his food, but to say he was regretting his decision was an understatement. "Hot, ow! Hot!" Noah yelled out.
"Noah, I know it's a race but stop being gross." Sky yelled out as she walked up to him,
While this was going on, Topher was still wandering around aimlessly, "I am a fun inferno." Topher said, still feeling the effects of the scorpions, which made Kitty, Cody, Owen, Ezekiel and Sky cringed at how he was. But no one could be prepared for Noah accidentally spitting some of the grease in Topher's face and shirt.
"Oh my gosh I am so sorry!" Noah said with his mouth still full of food, but this in turn only added more grease to Topher's shirt.
"Ahh it burns, I have been hit by the sun!" Topher said, before running off screen to puke.
"That was my bucket." Millie weakly said off screen.
"Dude you are so bad at this." Kitty told Noah, as Noah held his head in shame. "I know Topher won't hold a grudge, but maybe apologize to him when he fully comes too." Kitty said as Topher soon came on screen.
"Sorry Topher." Noah said, looking down in shame, even if he and Topher had never interacted.
"It's okay Mr. Strauss." Topher said, before passing out on the ground.
Noah was still feeling down, and noticed Sky looking at him with a disapproving look, "Why did you eat the food if you knew it was hot?" Sky asked, unaware that Noah was doing this to impress her.
"I don't know. I really don't." Noah said, as he finished his food.
Another montage was shown of teams finishing, "6th!" Cody and Noah were shown with Noah holding his stomach still feeling the effects of the food. "7th!" Heather and Katie were next shown, as both high fived each other, neither was thrilled about how they did challenge wise, but both were fine with the finish. "8th!", lastly Courtney and Bowie were shown with Courtney not feeling well.
"You were throwing the challenge, weren't you?" Courtney asked Bowie.
"I was. I want to see the fighter side when you come out." Bowie said as he crossed his arms defiantly, "Did it come out?"
"It did and thank you." Courtney said, "It's helped me get out of this funk." Courtney told Bowie, as Bowie managed to get Courtney out of her funk she had been in since Duncan broke up.
"9th!" Ezekiel and Owen were shown next cheering.
"I am never coming back for Beijing street food, eh." Ezekiel said before his stomach rumbled, "Make way!"
"10th place, Jen and Zoey!" Jen and Zoey were then shown smiling even as Zoey didn't feel great stomach wise.
"Thanks Jen." Zoey told Jen, "Also if you want to work together and talk more in the future I would love that."
Jen was immediately filled with joy as Zoey was someone she was drawn too and wanted to work with, "I would love that so much, let's rock this next challenge."
"11th!" The 11th place duo was Anne Maria, and a sick looking Mickey.
"I can't feel my stomach at all." Mickey weakly said, as he fell over. "Ow!"
"Get up." Anne Maria said as she kicked Mickey to get him to stand up. "Stand up!"
Lindsay was shown eating the food, and threw the skewer at Tyler's face, as it hit him in the head, before Tyler could say anything, she opened her mouth and showed Tyler the disgusting concoction he made, "Your gross cooking didn't slow me down!" Lindsay boasted.
"Your breath smells like a cockroach." Tyler said, holding his nose.
"How dare you, pig!" Lindsay yelled out crying as she went up to Blaineley to show she was done.
"I'm sorry Lindsay." Tyler yelled back running up to her, "Sorry for being a jerk. Damien just-" Tyler said until Lindsay interrupted him.
"No, don't blame him. Go talk to someone who might listen." Lindsay said as her and Tyler were confirmed to finish in 12th.
Meanwhile with both of them done, Duncan and Gwen noticed a box with a snake that had made a heart shape. "Aw pasty, maybe that's a sign-" Duncan said before catching himself, "For our partners." Duncan said, unfortunately the snake leapt out of the box and began attacking Duncan as Gwen had to pull it off of him.
Scott at this point was still trying to throw the challenge as much as he could, which Brody didn't notice, "Aw sick dude, you are doing amazing. Just bam that scorpion in the face."
"I have to do this." Scott told himself, as Brody overheard him.
"You have to do it, and you can. I know you can!" Brody said cheering, unaware that Scott was actually throwing the challenge.
"13th place" Blaineley called out, as the camera showed a delirious Topher with scorpion bites, and his pants pulled down swaying back and forth.
"I feel like a hot summer day." Topher weakly said, as he collapsed again on the ground.
Kitty then looked at the camera awkwardly, "At least he won't remember this."
The last two duos were shown struggling or in Scott's case throwing a challenge, as Millie walked up to Damien, with a determined glare on her face "I am eating this but you are covering my ears and eyes." Millie demanded, as Damien nodded his head. "Okay let's just get this over with." Millie said as she quickly ate the food. "Done!"
"Millie and Damien get 14th, which means Scott and Brody get stuck with 15th place."
"Aw man dude, that sucks." Brody said, as he put a hand on Scott's shoulders. "You did your best dude."
Before Scott could deal with a nagging sense of guilt, Blaineley continued on hosting, so including the points from the first challenge, here is where we stand, Team Style has a commanding lead over the other two with 121 points, Team Amazon is in second with 70, while Team Victory is in last with 64 points." Blaineley announced. Team Style were thrilled, while most people on Team Amazon and Team Style were nervous. "Anyways, we now move on to the second part and the duos are still the same."
Mickey, who was still feeling the effects of the street food, couldn't keep it down anymore, as being stuck with Anne Maria any longer was going to drive him insane, so he ended up puking on the ground, "I hate this!" Mickey cried out.
"Ew twerp, not on the shoes." Anne Maria said grossed out.
"The person pulling the rickshaw was determined by random draw, and the destination is from here to the Great Wall of China, point system still stands. Here are the people pulling the rickshaws, Owen, Gwen, Heather, Geoff, Tyler, Sky, Alejandro, Courtney, Cody, Zoey, Scott, Jo, Mickey, Kitty, and Millie." Blaineley called out, for some they were eager such as Tyler and Alejandro, while people like Mickey and Cody had dread since they weren't physically strong.
Confessional- Tyler
"I at least get to have more fun with Lindsay." Tyler said before his face widened. "Not like that. I just really need to get some anger out on Lindsay after what Damien did." Tyler said again, before his face once again looked shocked, "No not like that either. I mean I need to get some anger, and there is no way I can phrase this." Tyler said, as he looked guilty. "Look, Damien pissed me off, so I need to let some steam out. I won't hurt Lindsay though. I promise."
Confessional- Kitty
"Thank you universe, that I am pulling the rickshaw and not Topher." Kitty said. "I know that sounds mean, but Topher still isn't there. On the way to the rickshaw he said he has a problem with love. A guy like that having trouble keeping relationships?" Kitty rhetorically asked before chuckling, "Yeah right."
Confessional- Topher
"Baba booty!" Topher said, chuckling, before he fell down to the ground.
Confessional- Mickey
"This challenge no matter what was going to suck. But at least I don't run the risk of Anne Maria running over every rock." Mickey said smiling. That smile however quickly faltered. "Unfortunately, I have to carry her, and she has a fair amount of junk in the trunk."
Race To Great Wall Of China
"Go!" Blaineley called out for the race to start.
Almost immediately Alejandro took off to an early lead, he didn't have to eat in the last challenge, Harold was one of the lightest contestants in the game. "You are so skinny in this game, I could pull you in my sleep."
However in a rare act of clumsiness, and unintentional completely on Alejandro's side, Alejandro slipped on a banana peel. Which sent Harold flying and landed at the great wall of China, but not without injury. "My ankle!" Harold cried out.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Contrary to what the viewers may think, I didn't do that on purpose. Stupid banana peel. Now I have to look for him, great."
Back To Scene
At another part of the rickshaw race was Geoff and Duncan, still talking about Gwen, or at least Geoff was. "Why not make things official with Gwen, you guys are made for each other."
"Dude I told you, I don't want this competition to turn her into a monster like it did Courtney." Duncan explained as he was riding the rickshaw. "That and getting together with someone in this game, puts a huge target on their backs."
Geoff was now more confused, "What are you talking about?"
"Well, when Courtney and I got together within a day we were separated-" Duncan began to say until Geoff interrupted him.
"You guys would have been together had Harold not rigged Courtney out." Geoff told Duncan, as Geoff remembered that night, as one of the only times he saw Duncan cry as he was distraught as could be the night Courtney was eliminated. "What other examples do you have?"
"Well let's see half the reason why you, Bridgette, and DJ kept Courtney safe after the fear challenge, was due to Tyler and Lindsay getting together." Duncan explained.
"The other half was the suspicion that Tyler had an alliance with Sadie and Harold." Geoff said, trying to diffuse the Lindsay and Tyler connection for Tyler's season 1 elimination. "Which they did."
"Okay, what about you and Bridgette, or Trent last season, heck Gwen got voted out last season due to the whole Trent situation." Duncan explained, with that Geoff was left silent.
Geoff wasn't silent for long however, "Well I am pretty sure you both want it so you should just go for it." Unfortunately, Geoff wasn't paying attention and tripped and caused the wheel to fall off his rickshaw.
"Ow! Fuck!" Duncan yelled out in pain, and soon saw the wheel, but it was too late as Gwen ran right over it.
"What did we hit Gwen?" Bridgette asked from her rickshaw, as Gwen came to a stop.
"Act normal, Duncan, you got this." Duncan told himself, as he walked up to Gwen, "Hey pasty. You accidentally destroyed our wheel."
"Sorry." Gwen said, before looking around, "Does anyone have any ideas?"
"I have one, but it will be painful for someone here." Geoff said, as he looked over to Duncan.
Great Wall Entrance
Jo and Julia, as both were very strong, had taken the lead for the challenge, "Where is that blonde bimbo?" Julia asked as they climbed the stairs to the wall. "Maybe we should go left?"
"Hell no, you are a proven liar, so we should do the opposite of what you say." Jo yelled at Julia.
"Well fine, maybe I should let you live." Julia accused. "Maybe that will make everyone happy."
"You are a sick, twisted, spoiled little bitch." Jo snapped back. "We are going right!"
"You don't tell me what to do-" Julia began to say, until Jo picked Julia off her feet onto her shoulders and went right instead of left.
Jo was making great pace, but she noticed that a duo was still in front of them, this duo being Harold and Alejandro, "See you later Al the asshole!" Jo called out, taunting Alejandro.
"She is so dead." Alejandro told himself, "Come on chicken legs, let's catch up with them."
"I have a sprained ankle Alejandro, no thanks to you, WHOA!" Harold told Alejandro until Alejandro began carrying Harold over his back.
"I want that first place finish, so badly!" Alejandro yelled out as he was carrying Harold, "I am not losing this damn challenge."
Other End of The Great Wall
At the other end of the wall, was Trent and Sky, along with Bowie and Courtney, since Courtney's competitive spirit was re-emerging, she made quick work of the course, as did Sky. However both duos were shown running the wrong way, "We might need to turn around, as we have been running for a while, and there is no sign of Blaineley." Courtney said, looking around.
Trent finally was starting to feel better about his position in the game, "Yeah at this point we need to do a 180 turn." Trent proudly said before turning to Bowie, "Since someone gave all of us bad directions."
"What? Our team already had a commanding lead, and I thought it was left." Bowie defended himself as both duos turned around.
Race Course
Back on the racecourse, Tyler was pulling the rickshaw but was deliberately going over as many bumps as he could. "Having fun, babe?" Tyler asked.
"Stop… going… over every bump!" Lindsay said getting sicker. "Pull over!" Lindsay yelled out as Tyler obliged.
Confessional- Tyler
Tyler was shown on the course smiling, "This is my last act of revenge and acting like a jerk. Besides, Lindsay should see that me acting this way means, I don't care about popularity anymore." Tyler stated until his face fell, "I do feel bad though."
Lindsay was shown in the background, hunched over and puked onto the ground. "I hate you." Lindsay yelled.
"She'll come around. I hope so." Tyler said, as he started feeling guilty about his actions.
Back To Scene
Back on the course, Geoff and Gwen were pulling their rickshaws, "Is this too fast Duncan?" Gwen asked, looking back at her crush.
Duncan was shown leaning over on Gwen's rickshaw holding his own up using only his hands, "Nope, it's good." Duncan tried to confidently say. "Just keep going!"
Bridgette looked on in concern, at Duncan's situation, "Doesn't that hurt?" Bridgette asked, as Duncan shook his head no. "Do you at least want us to take you to the medic?"
"Nope, I'll be fine. No pain no game like they say right." Duncan said trying to diffuse the situation and not think about the pain, "Besides, Gwen is really pretty." Duncan said until his eyes widened. "I said that out loud, didn't I?"
"Yep, you did." Bridgette said, finding Duncan to be kind of pathetic and adorable with his love for Gwen.
"I feel more awkward than people like Harold or Cody, this is embarrassing." Duncan said, unaware that Gwen actually didn't mind the whole ordeal.
Finish Line
At the finish line was Chef and Blaineley, "Here they come." Chef announced.
"That's right and first place goes to, Jo and Julia. Hope this doesn't affect how you feel about each other." Blaineley sarcastically said,
"Woo hoo! Aaahhhh!" Julia said until Jo threw her overboard.
"Yes alright!" Jo cheered, as she looked back and saw Alejandro, "Take that Alejandro, you ass!"
"Pshh, whatever. You're twisted ankle cost us first place Harold." Alejandro said as he and Harold reached the finish line.
"I would have never gotten a twisted ankle if someone didn't send me flying into the wall." Harold said, bitterly "Karma will get you one day Al." Harold said walking off.
"Right 2nd place for them, and it looks like we have some other duos finishing." Chef stated awkwardly.
"3rd Place! 4th Place, 5th Place!" Blaineley called out as Sky and Trent finish 3rd with giving each other high fives, Courtney and Bowie finished 4th as both glared at each other, and Heather and Katie ended up in 5th place.
The next duo that was getting close to finishing was Zoey and Jen, "You know I've been thinking of asking a guy out." Jen said running with Zoey.
"Same here." Zoey said, as Jen raised her eyebrows and Zoey noticed, "What, what's wrong?"
"Well, everyone knows you have eyes for Topher, and he's already with Anne Maria." Jen began to explain, until Zoey spoke up.
"No, Kitty suggested that I ask out Mickey." Zoey explained. "Apparently he also likes me back."
Jen was completely thrown off by Zoey's statement, as in addition to her having a great fashion sense, Jen could usually tell whenever a guy was straight , gay, bi, or anything else. You name it, Jen could figure out a guy's dating preference, the only person she had trouble with was her fashion blog partner Tom, but even then she wasn't shocked that he was straight but just very feminine. "He does, Mickey doesn't give off those vibes that he is into girls." Jen stated. "If you know what I mean."
"You don't think Mickey is gay, do you?" Zoey asked before realizing how that came across, "Not that there's anything wrong with that."
"Zoey, you should ask him. He probably trusts you enough to tell him." Jen explained back to Zoey. "He trusts you right?"
"He trusts me, but he has also been acting kind of weird lately." Zoey explained, as she remembered how weird Mickey was acting about Cody. "I think it has something to do with Cody."
"Not shocking, not at all." Jen said as her and Zoey crossed the finish line.
"6th place!" Jen and Zoey high fived for their high placement, "Looks like 7th place is here as well." Millie and Damien finished next.
However, Millie was absolutely exhausted and out of breath, "I gave it everything I have." Millie said before she passed out on the floor.
"Medical!" Blaineley called out.
Nearby, Kitty was pulling Topher by the hand to make sure he didn't get lost as he was still delirious, or at least Kitty thought so, "Today's a carnival ride, I never got to experience as a kid." Topher said until he covered his mouth. "Did I just say that outloud? Sorry Kit-" Topher began to say freaked out, until Kitty interrupted him,
"Yeah. That's great Topher, we have a race to finish." Kitty told Topher dismissing what he was saying as nonsense.
Another montage was shown of finishers, "8th place for Kitty and Topher, 9th place for Duncan and Geoff." Duncan and Geoff cheered even with Duncan's swollen hand. "10th is for Bridgette and Gwen, and 11th is for Owen and Ezekiel."
End of Challenge
"Our final teams are making a mad dash to the great wall of China." Blaineley narrated as Cody and Noah, Anne Maria and Mickey, and Tyler and Lindsay were shown getting out of their rickshaws and climbing the stairs of the great wall.
Lindsay however took another moment to puke, "I hate this, Tyler." Lindsay whined, "I hate you."
A little farther up, Cody looked behind as he and Noah were running, and saw that Mickey didn't look good, so he decided to try and encourage his friend, "Good luck Mickey!"
"He is so confusing." Mickey told himself, until he saw Anne Maria running off without him, "Wait up!"
"12th place." Blaineley announced for Cody and Noah as they finished.
Noah decided to once again poke at Cody and his 'friendship' with Mickey. "You know for someone who claimed to not even care about him and said they were friends, its nauseating that you also give Mickey encouragement." Noan told Cody.
"It meant nothing, He and I are just friends." Cody stuttered out. "Don't you have enough drama on your own team to worry about."
As the scene flashed over a little way away, Mickey had luckily caught up with Anne Maria, and both were nearing the finish. "You know you really should be thanking me." Mickey told Anne Maria.
This notion made Anne Maria stop dead in her tracks, "Why you're absolutely useless for the challenge today." Anne Maria said. "You're a human being, but I did the heavy lifting today."
"Sure, you did." Mickey sarcastically stated before he decided to actively lie to Anne Maria, "No you should be thanking me, I am going to ask Zoey out, so that way you don't have to worry about Zoey stealing Topher from you or whatever."
"Thanks, I guess," Anne Maria said, as her and Mickey finished in 13th for the challenge.
Confessional- Anne Maria
"I don't believe him for a second. But if this means I don't have to worry about Zoey wanting Topher. I'm fine with that,"
Back To Scene
"14th place goes to Lindsay and Tyler." Blaineley announced as Lindsay puked again.
"I hate you, Tyler." Lindsay said again, as this was the worst she ever felt in the competition.
"You'll love me again from here on out." Tyler said until Lindsay kicked his manhood. "Mommy!" Tyler weakly said.
It wouldn't be until 20 minutes later for Brody and Scott to show up, "What happened to guys?" Courtney asked, mainly asking Scott.
"Scott and I got hopelessly lost." Brody explained, Scott almost explained that he purposely sabotaged Brody, but Brody continued on, "We lost as a team, and I take full response for today's loss." Brody said with his head down. "I should have done better."
Challenge Results
Blaineley had gathered everyone around, as she was ready to announce the challenge results, "Attention everyone, here is the results of today's challenge, in first place with a demanding 229 points. Team Style!" Blaineley announced as everyone on Team Style cheered, "Shoutout to Julia and Jo as you both finished 1st as a duo and earned your team 60 of the points alone." Jo and Julia confidently glared at Blaineley before outright glaring at each other.
"Now it's time for second place, and third place. It was a total of 149 points to 130 points, and second place goes too….. Team Amazon!"
Many people on Team Amazon were relieved to be safe for another day, but most of all was Scott. "Thank god I am still safe." Scott said as he looked up at the sky.
"Team Victory, the 9 of you will decide who will be the last 8 on this team. But I do have good news for one of you."
"Good news, yay!" Lindsay cheered out, as she had finally recovered from feeling sick. "Who gets the good news?"
"That would be Harold. He earned the most points for your team today." Blaineley said as Harold received a round of applause and cheers. "You guys have an hour and a half to decide who is going home. I will see you at elimination."
Confessional- Bridgette
"Going to elimination just sucks, no matter what way you look at it." Bridgette than sighed. "The worst thing is that I don't even know who to send out. I am still really close to Geoff and by extension Brody. I get along well with Lindsay and Tyler even if they are fighting, Harold and Ezekiel get along with me, and both Millie and Damien want to work with me. What do I do?"
Confessional- Geoff
"Brody looked absolutely devastated when he found out that he lost the challenge. I feel bad for my best friend." Geoff said before looking up. "I have to keep him here no matter what."
Great Wall of China Entrance
The elimination was in an hour, and Bridgette, Geoff, and Brody were shown together, as Geoff decided to lead the conversation. "I think tonight we should get rid of Millie."
Brody however wasn't thrilled about the idea, as he still thought that Damien was targeting him "I don't know dudes, shouldn't we target Damien since we all know he is going after us?" Brody asked.
"We targeted him last time and he stayed." Geoff explained "Besides, after Tyler and Damien's little fight, there's no way those guys work together." Geoff said. "Of everyone on the team Millie is the weakest. Brody I wouldn't make this move, if I knew you were in danger."
Bridgette, who was quiet and was still pondering what to do, decided at the very least to end the conversation, "Look, Brody and I will talk to Harold and Ezekiel and see where they stand." Bridgette suggested, "Is everyone okay with that?"
Geoff nodded, as Brody spoke up "I agree, but Bridgette maybe we should do it separately so as to not raise suspicions dudes." Brody explained as the screen went static.
Confessional- Bridgette
"In person I agreed with Geoff to get rid of Millie, but whether that's getting rid of Damien, Tyler, I don't know yet." Bridgette then sighed. "I really don't know what to do."
Confessional- Brody
"Maybe I should just vote out Damien regardless of what Geoff thinks." Brody then sighed in disappointment. "But if I betray Geoff, I know he will forgive me, but can I forgive myself?" Brody then looked at the camera, "I don't know what to do dudes. When I talk to Harold and Ezekiel that's when I'll make up my mind."
Vendor Site
At the vendor place, Millie and Lindsay were shown looking at the sunset, both admiring the view, but annoyed that another teammate would be sent home, but Millie had an idea for who to target. Lindsay however was ranting about Tyler and his actions at the challenge, "Tyler crossed the line for the last time today! Even looking at him makes me sick." Lindsay told Millie. "The guy I thought was this kind and caring soul. He is a monster." Lindsay continued on.
However, Millie said something that stunned Lindsay, and was the last thing she wanted to hear "I know you are going to hate this, but I think we should keep Tyler and-" Millie began to say until Lindsay interrupted her.
"There is no way I can keep Tyler after what he did to me today." Lindsay explained. "I'm still feeling the effects of the street food."
"Look I know you're mad at Tyler and so am I." Millie said offering sympathy before refocusing on the game, "But I have an idea for who is making Tyler act this way." Millie said.
Lindsay was still angry, but now she was intrigued of what Millie was alluding to, "You do?" Lindsay asked.
"Yeah, I do. It's Damien." Millie said.
Confessional- Millie
"I don't actually know if Damien is causing Tyler to act this way." Millie then sighed, "But this game has just destroyed Damien mentally. It was one thing when Damien plotted how to keep me over DJ but now, he is willing to betray our allies and not talk things out." Millie was now in near tears talking about her once closest ally. "Maybe when Damien leaves, Tyler and Lindsay will get back together, I've seen them together when they were in love, and they belong together."
Back To Scene
"Damien has been dragging this whole team down, with his constant scheming and if we get rid of Brody like Damien wants us too, then he is going to get rid of Tyler." Millie explained.
"What's so bad about that?" Lindsay asked. "You know that I also want Tyler out." Lindsay explained back.
"Well then what's stopping Damien from immediately trying to take us out next?" Millie explained as Lindsay was now silent.
Lindsay however decided that she still wanted Tyler out, "Tyler made me puke, it was gross, and I never want to experience that ever again. It was worse than the prison day last season." Lindsay explained.
"If Tyler steps out of line again, he is gone. But l need to see how Tyler is without Damien here." Millie said. "I just feel like this is the best for both of us." Millie explained, before she decided to try and seal the deal, "That and deep down, I think you still like him."
Lindsay was outwardly offended by what Millie was implying, but internally her feelings for Tyler were complicated, something that Lindsay would never admit to Millie. At least not yet. "I don't, and the only reason why I am voting out Danny is because we have a Final 2 deal as you call it." Lindsay explained to Millie.
The camera panned out however and revealed that Harold had overheard Millie and Lindsay's whole conversation as he had a look of shock on his face, "This information changes everything." Harold told himself.
Race Course
On the racecourse for the second challenge, Tyler was running back and forth between two trees and was caught off guard by Millie walking up to him and tripped and fell, "Ow!" Tyler yelled out as he was now tripped in front of Millie. "What do you want, Millie?"
Millie flinched at Tyler's clumsiness, but knew with less than an hour to go, she had to be all business, "I am sure I don't need to convince you of this, but Lindsay and I talked, and I got her to vote out Damien with me." Millie explained. "I assume you are on board."
"Of course, I am, after the crap he said to me today, I want him gone. He is a jerk with a capital G. Glad you see things my way." Tyler boasted.
"That's the other thing, I've been meaning to do this for a while now." Millie said as she then smacked Tyler in the face, "That's what you get for causing so much drama and treating Lindsay like crap today."
Tyler was at first in pain and shock that Millie would smack him in the face, but it was Millie's words that hurt more than anything. "I didn't mean to hurt her feelings, I just wanted to take out some frustrations about how my game has gone." Tyler explained.
Millie was shocked at what she was hearing, "Then that makes you an awful ex boyfriend, or boyfriend. I assume you and Lindsay are broken up."
"We are, I mean I want to get back together with Lindsay, you know that." Tyler said.
"I know, but it took a lot of convincing of Lindsay to keep you." Millie explained, "You have to make it up to her."
Finish Line
Blaineley's voice, was heard off screen, "We have 20 minutes before the elimination starts."
The camera then showed Harold who was running, and hobbling trying to find Ezekiel who was sitting along the fence of the great wall of China. "I'm so glad I found you." Harold said.
"You okay eh. You look out of breath." Ezekiel noticed. "What's going on?"
"I was walking around trying to make my ankle feel better when I overheard Millie and Lindsay talking over at the first challenge site." Harold explained.
"What about it, eh? Those two are always talking." Ezekiel said, "Was there more to it?" Ezekiel asked.
"You know how on the plane ride here, I explained that I saw the game as Lindsay, Millie, Tyler, and Damien working together, we need to throw that junk out the window."
"Come again, eh?" Ezekiel said in disbelief.
"Yep, Millie told Lindsay that they need to get rid of Damien." Harold explained.
Ezekiel was in utter shock, "Hold up, Millie wants Damien out? That doesn't even make sense eh. Did you hear why?"
"She's convinced that the moment Brody and Tyler go back-to-back that Damien would send her and Lindsay home. Which given Tyler and Damien's fight, could easily happen." Harold further explained.
"So, we keep Tyler and Damien at odds eh." Ezekiel suggested.
"Agreed but we are only 2 of 9 voters, Millie and Lindsay are with Tyler and voting Damien out, and I feel like that Geoff, Brody, and Bridgette are voting out Damien too, so it feels there is nothing we can do." Harold said, "Heck even if Geoff and his crew aim for Millie, the best we do is cause a three-way tie if we vote with Damien." Harold explained the math to Ezekiel.
"What do we do?" Ezekiel said, before him and Harold saw someone offscreen approaching them, "What do you want eh?"
Confessional- Ezekiel
"Harold was talking about all these numbers, and all of a sudden the person we least expected to approach us and changed everything again."
Blaineley's voice was heard off screen, "All members of Team Victory report to the elimination ceremony right away."
"I have to go, bye eh." Ezekiel said as he ran off screen.
Elimination Ceremony
Everyone on Team Victory was sitting in a pair of concession stands, "Time to vote for another person to leave your team today, we have a confessional voting booth ready to go." Blaineley explained.
Confessional- Geoff
"Millie, you are awesome, but I have to protect Brody in this game, so you have to go."
Confessional- Millie
"This is by far the hardest vote I have done in this game, but I am voting for Damien to leave." Millie then sighed in sadness. "I just hope he forgives me."
Confessional- Damien
"I haven't missed yet on who leaves, and I won't today. So, Brody, it's time to go. Tyler's next. Nothing personal."
Confessional- Harold
"After crunching all the numbers, time and time again. I assume Ezekiel is doing the same thing as me tonight, so tonight my vote is for…"
Back To Scene
Blaineley had a plate of 8 marshmallows "The players with zero votes are, Bridgette, Lindsay, Harold, Ezekiel, Geoff, and I imagine much to his shock, Tyler."
"Good luck dude." Geoff told Brody.
"Chef care to explain why these three are down here?"
"Gladly, Brody, you placed last in both challenges, Damien you were not a supportive teammate, and Millie you are weak physically and were useless in the eating challenge."
"Enough chatter, time to find out who's dream ends here in China." Blaineley announced, "Safe with 2 votes, Millie."
"Thank you." Millie said as she watched her marshmallow.
"This rivalry comes to an end tonight, the final vote was 4 to 3, the final marshmallow goes too…" Blaineley began, as Geoff now could only hope now that Brody was safe, Millie was hoping her strike against Damien landed, and for Damien and Brody, they could only hope that they were safe,
….
…..
…
….
….. Damien, you are safe."
The mood was somber on the team, for Geoff he was confused, and for Millie she was annoyed her plan failed and was also now worried about the repercussions her failed move faced. "Brody, you have been officially eliminated from Total Drama World Race, any final words?"
"Geoff, thanks for showing me the ropes of this game, and to whoever voted me out dudes, no hard feelings at all." Brody said as he began to walk away. "Damn." Brody told himself as he was now out of the game.
"This team has been cut in half, from where it stood Day 1. Good luck next challenge, as Chris will be back, and there will be some twists in store. Get a good night's sleep." Blwineley said sarcastically at the end.
Confessional- Damien
"My shot against Brody worked, and I have to thank Millie. With the vote being 4 to 3 to 2, the vote obviously meant that Geoff, Brody, and Bridgette voted me out. Harold and Ezekiel must have voted out Millie."
Confessional- Millie
"This Is bad, very bad, I thought I had him, I genuinely thought I had him." Millie whined. "The good news is that with the way votes are, I can at least pretend to still be his ally." Millie then looked like she was thinking, "How did those other 6 votes go?"
Confessional- Geoff
"I'm confused how Brody is out." Geoff then teared up, "What hurts most, is that if I didn't decide to vote out Millie and instead voted out Damien like Brody suggested I'm pretty sure he'd still be here."
Confessional- Bridgette
"This decision was so hard to make. But I had to put my own game first. Cutting Brody was due to the fact that Brody is only close to me due to Geoff. When I suggested getting rid of Brody it was like a light bulb popped in Harold's mind."
Confessional- Harold
"Ezekiel and I were struggling trying to figure out a way to keep Damien and Millie, Damien for his conflict with Tyler, and Millie for the journal." Harold explained before smiling. "Then Bridgette explained that Geoff was targeting Millie and it was like the skies parted, as I presumed that Damien was voting Brody home, and I saw the opening." Harold said. "The next thing I need to do is expose Millie to Damien, and maybe he can help me with this journal."
Final Words- Brody
"Awe man, it sucks to be out. What stinks is that if I would have just voted Damien out like my little thing in here was telling me to do, I would still be here." Brody said before smiling, "Regardless, this has been amazing, getting to see the world dudes, I wouldn't trade that for nothing."

Author Notes
That's going to wrap up part two of the Beijing chapter. So now first of all, the street food challenge was actually kind of fun, but also not to some degree. So let me start off the fun parts, writing Jo beating up Julia. I always found that scene hilarious in Canon when Josee did it to Jacques, and given Jo's competitive nature, she fit the scene perfectly.
Now the team scores were taken the individual points from the donut jump, and the duo challenge with for example Jo and Julia each earning 30 points for finishing 1st in both parts, now obviously some duos got the shaft (Katie and Heather, Trent and Sky, Courtney and Bowie) but each duo has its reasons even beyond this chapter.
Now onto the stuff I didn't like but I did decide to still write, Tyler and Lindsay. I wanted someone to be the Ryan and Stephanie of the challenge, but it wasn't funny writing Tyler as a jerk, so I decided to try and have him be a jerk to Lindsay, but at least have him explain his reasoning, now without saying how the plot ends, this will be the worst Tyler ever is.
Speaking of Tyler, let's move on to Team Victory and specifically the player eliminated, Brody. I knew heading into this I wanted Brody on the cast, as I wanted him to give Geoff some plot and relevancy. But I was struggling what to do with Brody, until about the Germany chapter, and I realized that with how I was writing Damien, he was acting the exact opposite of Brody so I decided why not have a rivalry. That's why starting in Germany you start to see Brody wanting to target Damien, and Damien be annoyed with Brody going headfirst into wanting bananas in the Amazon.
Now for why I decided to eliminate Brody. With the twist that Blaineley is alluding to at the end it is going to change the game in more ways than one, but also came the decision of who makes it to the twist and who doesn't, and with what I have planned Brody wasn't fitting in anywhere, so I knew he had to go before the twist. Then came the next problem, how to eliminate him. I quickly arrived at Scott throwing the challenge for why Brody gets eliminated, but then I realized that I could make it seem that while Brody was eliminated due to a bad challenge performance, there were so many other factors at play (Damien and Tyler fighting, Bridgette having way too many deals, and allegiances). Trust me, not right now but the Brody elimination and everything at play there, will have ramification down the road.
I also decided that since we are in the Top 30, every player left gets to say some final words. Brody's is simple, but some are going to be a lot more passionate, whether it is sadness, shock from a blindside, or pure anger at someone betraying them.
Next chapter is in Finland, and in the first part of the episode, players are tempted with the first twist of the episode, and many people reveal their true feelings for their competitors.
