We don't own Total Drama, only our OC's.
Remaining Players: Lin, Lucille, Byron, Brittany, Dante/Damiano, Lila, Tracy, Brad, Dianne, and Tatiana
"Last time on Total Drama Canadian Travels," Chris would begin the famous recap. "Our 11 remaining contestants were treated to a round of trivia questions based on last season's contestants and interns; along with contestants from this current season."
"It was a pretty intense matchup; but in the end; it was Byron who won immunity; the sole vote; and an advantage in the upcoming challenge, which is to choose who partners with who. I wonder who he'll pair them up with?" Alexis asked.
"Brittany and Lucille decided to add Ilyria to their alliance. The spy agreed to join them, on the condition that they don't mess with Brad and Lin's romance. Lucille would find the Johan idol, and it was the real deal," Chef rolled his eyes.
"However, Brittany was convinced that Ilyria was working with Brad, Tatiana, and Lila; so she told Lucille to vote for Ilyria. The young girl was unsure at first, but agreed to do so. They would play the idol at the ceremony; and the British spy said 'Tally-ho!'" Chris exclaimed.
"But now, we've got to deal with the return of Damiano. I'm not gonna like this," Alexis shivered. "But anyways, 10 remain! We'll soon be down to single digits, and who will place 10th? Find out, on this episode of Total! Drama! CANADIAN TRAVELS!"
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine,
You guys are on my mind.
You asked me what I wanted to be
and now I think the answer is plain to see,
I wanna be famous.
I wanna live close to the sun,
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
I'll get there one day.
Cause, I wanna be famous!
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na! (as can be heard in the background)
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
(Whistling in tune)
Episode 19: Scavenger Hunt Partner Frenzy
Charlottetown, P.E.I.
Byron
'So…I have the advantage to pick the pairings.' The blogger thought to himself, as he was currently in his pyjamas, ready for bed. 'This is gonna be tough. But I need to make the right choices; and make sure that I don't make the wrong choices.' He took out his notepad, and wrote down the names of the 9 other contestants, adding his name at the bottom.
'Okay, so for the first pairing, I should put Brittany and Lucille together. They're a force to be reckoned with. For the second pairing, I should put Brad and Lin together. I think they'll do a good job. As for the third pairing, I can pair myself with Tatiana. Sure, she's tall and a bit intimidating, but I think we'd work well together. The fourth pairing can be Lila and Dante. Which leaves Tracy and Dianne as the last pairing.' He sighed, taking off his glasses, and getting into bed. 'I hope that I'm making the right choices.'
Tracy
The country girl silently sighed to herself as she lay awake in her bed, staring up at the ceiling.
'After what happened back at that ceremony, things are definitely going to get more serious. How am I going to keep up with the others? Can I keep up with them at all? I'm not super smart or strategic like most of them… Ugh, I'll never get to sleep if I keep thinking like this!'
Brad
The intellectual lay in his bed with his eyes shut, but his mind wandering with various ideas and thoughts floating through his head.
'Those two girls being so paranoid makes this more complicated than it needs to be. How far are they willing to go to get rid of the three of us. No, the four of us now, Lin isn't safe either. I don't think anyone in this game is truly safe.'
Dianne
'Talk about crazy…' the cancer survivor thought to herself as she sat on her bed. 'Byron wanted to get rid of Dante? I don't know what led him to try and do so? Doesn't he have his medication?' She sighed. 'I can't let this get to me. I am a bit worried about the next challenge though, since Chris told us that Byron will be choosing the pairings, as it'll be 5 teams of two. Who will he pair me with? I hope he doesn't pair me with Brad, he's the WORST!'
Damiano
The brutish personality stretched as he stood up and paced around his room in excitement.
'Ah, it's been far too long since I've been in control! I don't know exactly how this came to be, but I'll make the most of this chance! I'm not going back into Dante's subconscious ever again! You can count on it!'
Lila
Lila lay still in her bed, just like Tracy, however she had her eyes closed as she tried and failed to fall asleep. Instead, numerous thoughts swirled within her head, keeping her awake.
'So much has happened and changed since the game started. Brittany and Lucille are much more aggressive now and everything's gotten so tense. They want me and my friends gone so badly. Can we really beat them like this, when they're willing to try anything at this point? No, no no no! I can't think negatively like this! I have to have confidence, just like Lin and Tatiana and Mom would! Whatever they try to do, we can handle it!'
Lucille
'God, Ilyria was mad at me…' the violinist let out as she sat on her bed. 'Am I really becoming more aggressive? I mean, I'm working with Brittany for goodness sake! She's tough, and she's actually becoming a good person…I hope…'
Brittany
'Now that Damiano's back; we should try to recruit him to our side. Yes, he was a pain last season, but I'm sure he'll help us get rid of those nasty redheads, especially Lie-la,' the mob boss smirked to herself, as she would go to bed.
Tatiana
The bookworm sat up in her bed, reading another book before going to bed. While her eyes were scanning over every word meticulously, her mind was wandering.
'Those two girls are quickly becoming more unhinged in this game, even if they're not going to admit it, which they certainly won't. But their behavior poses a serious risk to our game plan. I need to keep a close eye on them going forward.'
As she let out a sigh and closed her book, Tatiana shut off the lamp in her room and got under her covers.
'It's a shame you're not here right now, you know both of those girls better than I do. You'd certainly be able to think of a good plan to beat them.'
Lin
'"I only told you to not mess with Lin and Brad's romance because I knew Lin would hate me if we did mess with it!"'
Ilyria's words during her elimination still echoed in the short girl's mind even as she tried to go to sleep.
'Did she really think I'd hate her for something like that? Pretty much everyone doesn't like Brad except for Tracy and maybe Dante. I need to let her know I wouldn't hate her even if she did try to mess with us. I know what I'm getting into, at least on that end. But Lucille's definitely gone off the deep end and Brittany's proven to be a horrible influence on her. If those two are willing to cut off Ilyria like that, then it goes without saying my inclusion in our little 'alliance' is also over. I've seen you at your worst, Brittany, and now I have to deal with you like that again. The same goes for Lucille this time, and I wasn't even expecting her to be like this. If they're going to go after my friends this harshly, then I'll have no issue making them pay.'
The next morning…
"Good morning, contestants! Pack your bags, because we are heading to Mocton, New Brunswick! McLean out!"
"Huh," Dianne let out. "I wonder why we're going there for the challenge?"
"I'm just glad we're actually going somewhere again." Tracy replied. "I mean, it's nice to hang around here, but I'm excited to get back on the road!"
"Tell me about it," Brittany let out. "But hey, we're the final ten. I wonder what Chris will have in store for us?"
"Who knows what's going through that man's head. But whatever it is, I'm sure it's going to be safe and fun!" Lin commented sarcastically.
They would all head to the airport, and check in for their flight. Alexis handed them all their boarding passes; and once again, they were all in first class.
"First class again!" Dianne cheered.
"Woohoo, fancy flying!" Tracy cheered as she took one of the window seats.
Brittany would take another window seat, while Lucille took the seat next to her.
"So…" Brittany let out. "I think we made the right choice."
"Yeah, but now, Ilyria's mad at me…" Lucille frowned.
"Don't." Brittany let out. "You have to do whatever it takes."
Lucille narrowed her eyes. "You're right. I have to win. I want Joseph's attention back on me."
From the set of seats behind the two girls sat Tatiana and Lila, who couldn't help but overhear their two adversaries. The taller of the two redheads couldn't help but smirk and shake her head.
"She really just doesn't get him." Tatiana chuckled.
"What do you mean?" Lila asked.
"She wants Joseph's attention back on her? The two are supposed to be dating but she sounds like she doesn't know the type of man Joseph is. You've seen the last season, haven't you?"
"Y-yeah. Joseph's always been the sort that's rough on the outside, but good to those who are loyal to him, right?"
"Exactly. But you're forgetting that he's not the sort to drop that sort of attitude to be the romantic sort. She really thinks she can change him?"
"Perhaps that's what she's trying to do?" Lila pondered. "Maybe she wants to show him that she's the one he can drop that mentality for?"
Tatiana simply raised an eyebrow and laughed a bit more, shaking her head.
The plane would soon take off, heading to its destination. It would be a smooth flight, with no turbulence as they landed in Moncton.
Moncton, New Brunswick
"Welcome, everyone!" Chris would exclaim. "Today's challenge is a scavenger hunt, and you'll be put into pairs of two; which Byron has chosen. Due to this, the pair that wins will be immune from elimination, so there won't be a sole vote tonight."
"So we're essentially doing a traditional vote?" Brad asked.
"That's correct," Alexis replied.
"I see." Brad hummed. "So what are the pairs, Byron?"
Byron would adjust his glasses, pulling out a little notepad. "Okay. I took a lot of time last night to figure out the pairs. But here we go. The first pairing will be Dante and Lila."
The perfect girl looked over at her new partner with a smile that quickly faded despite the boy smiling back at her…
*Confessional*
Lila: "Maybe it's just me but something about Dante feels… off…"
*End Confessional*
"The second pair will be Brad and Lin," Byron continued. The two teens shared a smile and a nod with each other in silence. "As for me, I'm pairing up with Tatiana."
The bookworm raised an eyebrow in intrigue as she looked back at the blogger.
"You want to pair up with me? Interesting choice." She shrugged.
"What can I say? I think we'd work well together," Byron said, before looking over at Tracy and Dianne. "You two are together, which leaves Brittany and Lucille to be the final pair."
Brittany smirked over at Lucille, who shook her hand.
Dianne would skip over to Tracy. "We've got this, right?"
"Totally! Let's win this!" The country girl replied, giving Dianne a high-five.
"Alright! Now that the pairings have been decided, let's get you started with your first clue!" Chris announced.
"The clues will only involve photographs," Alexis said.
"Photos?" Lin asked as she turned to her partner. "So that means each picture will either show the general location of the next clue or something related to what we're looking for."
"But we'll have to see what our first clue is. That'll be what dictates the true difficulty of this challenge."
Alexis would soon pass the five pairs a picture. Byron and Tatiana's photo would be of a skateboard, Brad and Lin's photo would be of a ship. Dante and Lila's photo would be of a hockey stick. Tracy and Dianne's photo would be of a baseball cap. Finally, Brittany and Lucille's photo would be of a guitar.
"You have to find these objects in order to find the next clue. They are scattered around this town," Chris instructed. "You will also have to write down the name of the celebrity on your photograph after you find the item."
"You all won't be going out at the same time," Alexis said. "Byron, you and Tatiana will go out first. 5 minutes after you two, Dante and Lila will go. 5 minutes after them, Brittany and Lucille will go. 5 minutes after Brittany and Lucille will be Tracy and Dianne. Which means Brad and Lin will be the last to leave the starting point."
"Sweet," Byron smiled. "We've got this in the bag, right, Tati?"
"I should hope so." The bookworm replied.
"Alright, Byron and Tatiana, you guys can head off, and we'll set a timer for 5 minutes for Dante and Lila to wait," Chris said. The mention of the pairing made Lila look over at her current partner with suspicion and a hint of fear, Dante himself stood in silence, seemingly unaware of Lila.
"Well, let's get going. Our clue is apparently a skateboard," Byron said. "Now, what Canadian celebrity is connected to that?"
"Admittedly, while I do consider myself well read on several subjects, extreme sports and skating are not among them." Tatiana sighed.
"Hey, don't worry. We can do this," Byron gave her a reassuring smile. "We just have to think. Wait a minute. What if it's linked to a song? Like…Sk8er Boi? That song by Avril Lavigne?"
"That sounds like a bit of a stretch, but I don't have any other ideas as to what it could be, so let's go with that." The bookworm shrugged.
"What if it's at some sort of skatepark?" Byron said. "If there even is one here…"
"That seems like the most logical place to put a skateboard for a scenario like this. I suppose we'll just have to look around for one."
"Let's go," Byron said. The two would carry on a light jog to find a skatepark.
A bell would go off back at the starting area.
"Okay, Dante and Lila, you guys can head out now. Another five minutes on the timer, starting now!" Alexis announced. The two wasted no time in running as Lila looked at their photograph clue.
"So we, um… we're looking for what looks like a hockey stick."
"Makes sense." Damiano replied flatly. "Given this country's connection with hockey. It might not be him, but I'm pretty sure it's Wayne Gretzky's hockey stick. Where are we heading?"
"It looks like it's propped up in a skating rink, I think I saw one on the ride here…"
"Alright." Damiano huffed. "Lead the way…"
The shorter redhead whimpered softly before slowing down just a bit, leading Damiano with a bit of hesitation.
Five minutes after that, Brittany and Lucille would be told to head off. The two would instantly go, taking a look at their photograph.
"So. A guitar. Must be a singer then." Brittany let out.
"There's lots of Canadian singers," Lucille let out.
"Right," the mob boss huffed. "So we need to figure out which Canadian singer it belongs to."
"Let's see…there has to be a music studio around here somewhere…or a music store…" Lucille looked around.
The two would take a light jog, trying to find their clue.
The bell would go off for Dianne and Tracy. "Okay, you two, go," Chris instructed.
"A baseball cap?" Dianne hummed. "This will be hard."
"I don't really know any Canadians that play baseball." The country girl shrugged. "Honestly I didn't even know Canadians played baseball like that…"
"Well, the only Canadian baseball team are the Toronto Blue Jays…" Dianne let out.
"Oh… Well one of my brothers follows baseball a lot, I probably should have asked him for advice if I knew something baseball related would be on this show. And before you say anything, I know the first challenge also involved baseball, I just don't watch it on tv."
"Fair. I'm not questioning you there," the cancer survivor shrugged her shoulders. "If I can remember…the hat probably belongs to Rob Zastryzny. His debut was in 2016, and he's been on the most teams. It makes the most sense. What do you think, Tracy?"
"I guess? Like I said, I don't really know a lot of baseball players."
"So there has to be a baseball field or something around here…" Dianne let out.
"I didn't see any big stadiums, so it's probably at a nearby park." Tracy noted.
"Good thinking. Let's go." Dianne said.
Back at the starting area, the timer would go off for the final time.
"Okay, Brad and Lin. You guys can go. You two are way behind, heh," Chris smirked.
"Considering some of our competition, I think we can catch up without much trouble." Brad replied casually as he and Lin looked at their photograph of a ship. But there was something in the photograph as well. A familiar looking red and black mask.
"That boat could belong to anyone." Brad noted. "If this challenge relates to any notable Canadian, then any of them could buy a boat with the money they likely make."
"True." Lin hummed before noticing the mask. "Wait a second. Look there, hanging off of the railing of the boat, it looks like there's something small hanging there."
"Oh, yeah, I didn't see that before, it looks like a… mask?" Brad pondered.
"I don't know if that's what it is but it looks like the boat is in a lake. If I remember correctly, I saw a lake not too far from here." Lin explained.
"Then lead the way." The hatted boy nodded.
Byron and Tatiana
The two would soon find a skatepark. There were currently a couple of people skateboarding, and riding their bikes along the ramps.
"Okay, now…where could that skateboard be?" Byron asked as Tatiana looked at the photo again.
"It's most likely still in the spot where the photo was taken which should be…" Tatiana explained before looking behind a half-pipe and finding their target skateboard. "...Here!"
"Amazing!" Byron hurried over to the skateboard, quickly grabbing it and turning to face Tatiana, not noticing something else underneath the board. "Now, we just need to find our next clue."
A skateboarder would approach them. "Oh, you must be from that Total Drama show. I was told to give you this," he said, passing them another photo, this time of a record store. There would be a vinyl in the background, which said "LET ME GO"
"Oh, I know this! Avril wrote this song with her ex husband, Chad Kroeger!" Byron let out.
"I see. I won't question how or why you know that and just ask that we hurry to this record shop." Tatiana replied.
"What? I like any music, including pop rock," Byron said with a huff before turning to leave the park. Tatiana smirked to herself as she went back to where the skateboard was placed and grabbed what Byron failed to notice.
Damiano and Lila
The two would arrive at the ice skating rink rather quickly, the low temperature of the ice causing both of their breaths to appear visible, making the chill running down Lila's spine worse.
"Ok-k-k-kay…" Lila shivered. "Now we just have to find that hockey stick, I th-th-think!"
"It isn't that cold here." Damiano huffed before smirking. "Or are you scared?"
"No! I mean, no, I'm not scared! Hehe…"
Damiano simply turned away from the girl, his smirk widening before he noticed their target item laying against the wall of the penalty box that had a signature on it that neither of the two could identify. Lila couldn't help but gulp when she saw Damiano casually pick up the hockey stick as though it were a weapon, the complete lack of any other person around did nothing to help ease her nerves.
"Got it." The taller boy said, twirling the stick in his hands for a moment before another photo fell from the blade. "Hm? And what do we have here now? Take a look at this, would you?"
With her mouth growing dry, Lila looked at the next photo before saying anything.
"It looks like a picture of a baby boy… in black and white…"
"A baby, huh… that doesn't really tell us much. Any writing on the back or anything?"
"Y-yeah, it says 'W.G.'."
"'W.G.?" Damiano repeated. "Hmph, well I think I've seen enough, do we go back to that man now?"
"Chris? Well, um, we don't have any more clues so I would assume so." The redhead answered, trying to avoid eye contact. "L-let's hurry!"
Brittany and Lucille
The two would find their way to a music store.
"I hope this is the right place," the violinist let out.
"It should be. Now, we just need to find the guitar," Brittany replied.
"There's so many…how can we find the correct guitar?" Lucille asked.
"We just have to look hard," Brittany let out. "We can't let that annoying Brad win, or Tatiana. Or Lie-la."
Lucille bit her lip, before her eyes rested on a dark brown guitar. "I think that's the guitar."
Just as they approached the guitar, an employee approached them. "You're from that Total Drama show? That host of yours, Jris HcLan, or whatever…is calling you back. I think they have the winners of the challenge."
"First off, it's Chris. CHRIS MCLEAN." Brittany looked irritated. "And fine. Come on, Lucille."
"Coming," Lucille let out.
With everyone…
Chris would be waiting for everyone to arrive, Damiano and Lila by his side.
"I'm sorry," Byron glanced at Tatiana as they approached the host. "I probably was the worst partner for you."
"You did what you were able to, I suppose." Tatiana shrugged with a sigh.
"I hope you don't vote for me tonight," Byron let out.
"We should hope that we don't lose the challenge, at least."
Once everyone had arrived, Chris glanced at them all. "Most of you were pretty close, but in the end, Dante and Lila have won today's challenge, and immunity from being voted out tonight."
The soft-spoken redhead let out a sigh of relief while Damiano simply huffed.
"Anyway, go and decide on who you want to vote for. You've got 30 minutes," Chris said.
"30 minutes? UGH!" Brittany snapped, annoyed, as she and Lucille would head up to another floor to discuss their vote.
"Just a half hour…" Lin hummed to herself.
"We'll need to think fast, then." Brad noted as he twirled the mask they had retrieved in his hands.
"You're actually keeping that mask? Isn't that Deadpool's mask?" Byron asked.
"Eh, I'll probably sell it or something." Brad shrugged before walking away. "Anyway, I've got some thinking to do."
Byron sighed. "Okay." He then glanced at Lin. "So? Who are you gonna vote for tonight?"
"I have a couple of ideas." The shorter girl replied before following Brad.
*Confessionals*
Byron: "Well, I guess I have to figure out who I've got to vote for. Obviously, I'm not gonna vote out my partner, but I can try to target Brad, since Little Miss Perfect is immune."
*static*
Damiano: "So, I'm free to go about things as I please and I even have a free pass into the next round. Today just gets better and better!"
*static*
Lila: "Boy, am I ever-so glad to be away from Dante right now! He's been acting super off all day! I should probably talk to the others about this."
*static*
Brad: "Okay, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little worried right now. At least half of the players still in the game want me gone and neither Tatiana nor I have immunity. Lila does and I'm sure they won't target Lin, so at least they'll be safe. But I still have a vote to make in the meantime…"
*static*
Tatiana: "While Byron wasn't the worst partner I could have been paired with, if I had been with any member of my alliance, I probably wouldn't be in this position. Brad is probably just as cautious as I am right now. Our only hope is if the others split the votes between the two of us, allowing my group of four to vote someone off. But there's also the factor of Chris doing something that affects this vote as well, not to mention the immunity idols. This will be tricky…"
*static*
Lin: "This definitely isn't a good position for Brad and Tatiana to be in. Heck, this isn't good for me either. Despite them both going off the deep end, Lucille and Brittany both have sway with Dianne and Byron. They'll probably target one of the three of us, unless the votes get split between all of us, things could get messy."
End Confessionals
Dianne and Tracy
"Who are you going to vote for?" Dianne asked the country girl, as they were in the lobby.
"I dunno, honestly." Tracy shrugged. "I don't really have any issues with anyone. I thought about voting Dante for a bit since I noticed he's been acting kinda weird today but I think he's just having an off day."
"We can't vote for him anyways, he's immune," Dianne let out.
"Right, that too, I'm not used to two people being safe since the teams were around."
"It's only for today two people are immune," Dianne sighed. "I think I might vote for Brad, he's untrustworthy."
"Really? I never really got that vibe from him. I mean, he's smart and kinda grumpy, but I wouldn't go as far as to say he can't be trusted."
"I mean, the only other person I can vote for is Tatiana, she's too blunt for my liking," Dianne shrugged.
"Why not Brittany or Lucille?" Tracy hummed. "I mean, Brittany made it all the way to the end in the last season and Lucille picked up some skills from her boyfriend."
"Sure, maybe I could vote for them, but they could be useful allies in future challenges," Dianne replied.
"Maybe." Tracy replied before standing up and stretching. "Well, I'm going to get something to eat before the ceremony. See ya'!"
Dianne waved, before sitting on the chair in the lobby.
30 minutes later…
"Attention, contestants! It's time for the vote! Please make your way down to the elimination area. Thank you!" Chris announced on the loudspeakers.
Dianne was nervous about her vote, but she knew who she would be voting for. She glanced over to Brittany and Lucille, who were quietly talking to one another about their vote. Brad and Lin remained quiet, as their choices for votes were already locked in.
Once everyone had arrived, Chris glanced at them. "Okay, so you guys can head into the confessional to vote. Lila and Dante will go first, and the rest of you will follow," he instructed.
*Voting Confessionals*
Lila: "I know that Tatiana and Brad want to vote out Lucille or Brittany tonight, but with how both of them are at risk as well, I'm not sure what they have planned. Tati told me I have no need to worry about her but I still am! I suppose I should at least vote for Brittany, although I would have honestly preferred if Dante would leave tonight. Something is very wrong with him right now!"
*static*
Damiano: "Does it matter who I vote for? Not really. I don't know, I'll vote for that guy, Byron, I guess. It's all going to turn out the same for them in the end."
*static*
Brittany: "It's quite obvious that since I can't vote for little miss-perfect, so my vote's gonna go to Tatiana."
*static*
Lucille: "This gets harder and harder every time, but Tatiana's got to go."
*static*
Byron: "Gonna vote for Brad, he's quite suspicious."
*static*
Tatiana: "The others can vote how they want. I'm not leaving yet. My vote goes to Lucille tonight, though."
*static*
Tracy: "Wow this vote is gonna be tough! Um… I don't really want to vote for any of my friends so, I guess I'll vote for… Byron? He should be safe regardless, right?"
*static*
Lin: "The longer Brittany stays in the game, the more difficult things are going to get, so I'm voting for her."
*static*
Brad: "Odds are, admittedly, not looking good for me. Lila is safe though, and Tatiana has her trump card, but I don't have any safety nets to fall back on. All I can do is vote for Lucille and let the chips fall where they may."
*static*
Dianne: "I'm voting for Tatiana."
*End Voting Confessionals*
Alexis would soon approach with the safety item; which would be a pin of the flag of New Brunswick.
"Today's safety item, of course, is the flag of New Brunswick," Chris said. "Anyway…if any of you found one of the idols, please play it now."
"And that is my cue." Tatiana announced as she stood up and revealed the item she had taken from the skate park: The McLean Invincibility Idol.
"Well, well, well! This means that any votes for Tatiana are now void! So she's safe, along with Dante and Lila!" Chris smirked, tossing the three their pins. "Next to be safe are Dianne, Lin, and Tracy."
Dianne breathed a sigh of relief as she got her pin, hugging Tracy. "We're safe for another day!"
"Thankfully." Tracy smiled.
"Brad, you only had one vote against you, so you're safe," Chris said, tossing the hatted boy his pin.
"Only one? Hmm…"
"Which means…" Chris smirked, looking at Byron, Lucille, and Brittany. "We've got a tiebreaker to do." He pulled out a deck of cards. "It's simple. The three of you will draw one card from the deck. If you draw the joker card, you're out of the competition. Who wants to go first?"
"I guess I'll go," Byron said, drawing a card.
Brittany and Lucille would draw their cards next.
"Okay, on three, reveal. One, two, three!"
Brittany's card would show Shauna's face as the Queen of Diamonds. Lucille's card would show Joseph's face as the king; as the girl smiled softly. Byron showed his card, revealing the joker as Terra, and his shoulders slumped. "Well, I guess this is game over for me."
"Sorry, Byron, your time is up," Chris said. "If anyone wants to say their goodbyes, you can now."
Dianne hurried over to the blogger, hugging him. "You were a great competitor! I'm gonna miss you!"
"Thanks, Di," Byron hugged her back.
"Hey, you managed to get past a lot of the others, you should feel proud of yourself!" Tracy added.
"Yeah, I know," Byron sighed. "But I guess this is where the game ends for me."
"Okay, Byron, grab your stuff, and you can board the Bus of Losers," Chris instructed.
Byron nodded, as he left the elimination area.
"You guys are all dismissed," Chris said.
"Well, that was fun. Goodnight." Damiano said as he quickly got up and left. Dianne frowned as she left the elimination area.
Dianne and Tracy
"I can't believe Byron got out just like that," the young cancer survivor let out.
"Yeah, I really wasn't expecting him to be the one who would leave. We're really down to just two guys now."
"This should be interesting," Dianne let out. "I'm a bit scared now. We might be next."
"I don't know. I think if we just stick with how we're doing things we should be fine."
"I hope," Dianne let out.
Brad, Lin, and Lila
"So that was what Tatiana had planned..." Lin mused.
"I would say that was smart of her." Brad noted. "This might have been the only chance to get one of us out of the game and Tatiana has put a bigger target on herself."
"Do you think that's her intention?" Lila pondered. "To make herself the target so that the three of us can keep going?"
"It would certainly be a noble idea." Brad hummed. "But it does carry a lot of risk. Let's try to make sure we're not in another position like this again."
"Agreed." The two girls replied.
Tatiana, Brittany, and Lucille
The mob boss, and the violinist would be chatting with one another. "I can't believe that happened," Lucille let out.
"I know. We were close to getting one of them out," the mob boss muttered. "No matter. We've got more chances in the future."
"I'm a bit terrified, but excited at the same time," Lucille admitted.
"Good. You should be," Brittany smirked.
"You seem oddly confident." Tatiana commented, bringing herself off of the wall she had been leaning on.
"What do you want?" Brittany sneered.
"I don't recall ever saying I wanted anything. But I am going to take this opportunity to warn you. The walls are closing in, and things aren't going to be nearly as easy as it was for you last season."

"Well, that was interesting! We're down to 9, and things are only gonna get intense from here!" Chris exclaimed.
"Next week, we head to Quebec City, in Quebec, where alumni Jerusha will be hunting down our contestants in an unique…hide and seek challenge. Who will win that challenge?" Alexis asked. "Find out, next time, on Total! Drama! CANADIAN TRAVELS!"
