"Last time on Total Drama Island," Chris recapped, "It's an all-new twist with an all-new island, but same-known punishment." The scene flashed back to Pahkitew Island, then to everyone jumping out of the blimp and getting either parachutes or duds. "Our incredibly weird teams were shoved into a blimp and forced to take a faith jump with a parachute or dud." The scene changed to the teams attempting to collect supplies from the junk pile. "Then they were tasked with making a refugee for their stay in the new Pahkitew Island."
...
The scene changed to Chase trying to film himself. "We saw how far Chase's ego goes," Chris continued. The scene changed to Lucas's many injuries. "And how Lucas's bad luck is even bigger." The scene changed to the moose running away from Luna. "And we also saw that aside from Melody, Luna can scare anyone."
...
The scene changed to Julia decorating the Rats' tree house, then to Jasmine finishing the Frogs' tree house. "Julia's tree house barely edged out the Frogs," Chris continued. The scene changed to the Gophers' tower collapsing. "And the Gophers looked doomed." The scene changed to the Bears and their 'house'. "But Lara got so deep in her mage stuff that she suggested a wizard's tower that didn't exist." The scene changed to Greg showing the 'house' around, then to Sugar covering him in glitter. "Greg tried to sell nothing as something, and it might've worked had Sugar decided not to redecorate." The scene changed to Lara's elimination and her getting blasted off in the Cannon of Shame. "But it was costume-loving Lara who got the worst house and we said goodbye to contestant 25 with our new Cannon of Shame."
...
The scene changed to Chris standing at the elimination area. "A quarter of the way into the trip," he narrated. "Who will become the second human cannonball? Only one way to find out, and that's by watching an all-new episode of Total...Drama...Island!"

It was early the next morning. Outside the Frogs' tree house, Jasmine was snoring on a branch when she woke up with a yawn. She hopped down onto the ground but was a little surprised to see Mike dragging back a deer. "You managed to catch that by yourself?" she asked.
"We needed food," Mike explained. "I figured I could at least help with that after yesterday's disaster. Sol, you awake?"
"I am now," Sol groggily replied as he stepped outside the tree house. "What is it?"
"I got some deer meat for us. Maybe you can make that deer roast you've been boasting about."
"I need some carrots and some onions, along with a good flame. Jasmine, you going foraging now?"
"Yeah," Jasmine casually answered. "You can tag along. I was gonna ask-" She went wide-eyed as Samey fell from the tree house and crashed onto the ground. "Amy..." Sol scolded.
"What?" Amy scoffed. "Don't blame me for my sister being a complete klutz."
"Right..." Jasmine skeptically put in. "Mike, prep the meat and fire, maybe save the skin and bones to make tools and blankets with. Sol, come with me and Samey to forage."
"Sure thing," Sol sighed, shooting daggers at Amy while doing so.

"She pushed Sammy out of the tree house! I swear when the times comes, that bitch is SO gonna get it!"

"It was then the group encountered the vicious dragon guarding its hoard of treasure and the fair princess," Ethan narrated as he stood on some rocks near the beach, though some of the Bears weren't too impressed. "But the brave knights and archers managed to slay the mighty beast and rescue the princess, and they lived happily ever after. The end."
"Mister Knight, I never understand half of what you say," Sugar noted as Ella held up a mirror for her. "That's how I know you're smart."
"That's not exactly a difficult task to do," Jo muttered under her breath.
"What did you think of the story, Miss Eleanor?" Ethan asked the princess.
"A harrowing tale of dungeons and dice," Ella sang as she danced around, "And besting a monster that just wasn't nice!"
"Shut your song hole, Dressy!" Sugar snapped back. "I wasn't done talkin'!" Ella quickly put a hand over her mouth.

"Oh, Sugar's onto Ella's nice-girl performance. She better watch her step. Nobody but ME is winning this here pageant!"

"Um, instead of making up stories-" Dave spoke up.
"You doubt his word?" Tyler protested. "It happened!"
"I never said it was a true story, Sir Tyler," Ethan pointed out as he hopped down from the rocks. "After all, dragons are make believe...thank heavens."
"What Dave means is that we should try to find a legitimate shelter," Sky clarified.
"We used rocks as pillows last night," Dave added. "Very unclean rocks."
"Our wizard could've made us levitate if you idiots didn't vote her off!" Sugar scolded.
"Lara was NOT a real wizard, Sugar!" Dave noticed Beardo making the sound of a whimpering puppy. "Regardless of that," Greg pointed out as he comforted the human soundboard, "It was a bit depressing to see Lara leave."
"I know," Ethan sighed. "It's why I was telling that story: to try and lift the team's spirit up." He and Greg noticed Ella happily humming as she skipped across the sand. "Worked on Ella," Greg remarked.
"Guys," Sky encouraged, "With our, um, diverse set of skills, I know we can start winning these challenges again. But we have to work together as a team. Come on! Let's do this! Go, Team Maskwak!"
"You mean Bear," Jo corrected.
"Actually," Alejandro pointed out, "Waneyihtam Maskwak means 'Confused Bears' in Cree. And it definitely sounds catchy. Go, Team Maskwak!"
"Go, Team Maskwak!" Ella, Ethan, Sugar, Tyler, Ezekiel, Priya, Millie, Beardo, Greg and Destiny rallied.
"Okay," Dave weakly cheered. "Fine. Go, Team Maskwak."
"That's the idea, Davie!" Destiny exclaimed as she rubbed the germaphobe's head. "Mel, you and Paulie aren't in the spirit."
"Hmm?" Melody asked as she heard her. "Oh, sorry. Paul and I were resting for a bit. See?" She motioned to Paul, who was sound asleep in her lap. "I see he doesn't mind the beach too much," Ethan remarked, "And after everything that's happened to him, some sleep might do him some good."
"He can't be sleeping away now," Priya argued. "We've gotta focus on winning the next challenge. I'll go wake him."
"I wouldn't get too close to him," Melody warned as Paul started to stir.
"So he'll be grumpy for a second," Jo scoffed. "Big deal." As soon as she got close, however, Paul suddenly awakened and gave her a threatening snarl. "Easy, there," Melody hushed as she stroked his head. "It's okay." Paul soon drifted back into slumber. "Okay..." Greg noted as the others looked on with a shocked expression, "That's new. Um, Beardo, maybe you could aid me with a project? Might get our minds off the last elimination."
"Swiller idea, Greggy!" Destiny exclaimed as she hugged the duo. "What is it?"
"Actually, Desi, it's actually something between me and Beardo only. Sorry." Greg then pulled Beardo away, leaving Destiny surprised.

"Greggy always does stuff with me. It's been me and him for as long as I can remember. What's changing?"

Back at the spa hotel, Julia was busy typing on her phone when she suddenly saw Luna staring at her. "What do you want, weirdo?" Julia demanded.
"We gotta start talking plans," Luna told her while she dangled from the bed. "To make sure your FUN doesn't get cut off too early."
"That's it? We just have to keep winning challenges like yesterday."
"Not if Bowie and his gang has anything to do with it, cause if I was him, I'd try to throw the next challenge as soon as possible in order to get rid of you while he still has a numbers advantage." Julia just gasped in a stunned shock. "I never even considered that," she realized.
"Maybe grab some allies of your own before they run out," Luna suggested, "Like the cowboy there." She pointed outside the room, where Austin was busy adjusting his hat. "Hey there," Julia greeted as she approached him.
"What do you want?" Austin asked.
"Just wanted to propose something to you."
"Nope. I'm too young to get hitched."
"Not marriage, butt-knuckle! An alliance. You and I are both in need of one considering how powerful Bowie's group is. Him, Emma, Anthony, Lightning..." Austin thought about it for a moment. "Deal," he decided, "But on ONE condition."
"Sure," Julia quickly said. "Whatever. What?" A moment later, Austin was smiling while he stood outside a door. "Cleaning toilets?" Julia groaned from inside. "Please tell me you're joking."
"You want this alliance or not?" Austin pointed out. "And make 'em shine!" He flipped a switch, and he could only smirk as Julia groaned from inside and a FLOOSH sound was heard.

"What are you doing?" Bowie asked as he walked over.
"Howdy," Austin greeted. "Wanna watch an influencer clean toilets? Or would you rather watch DJ whip up some paletas?"
"Uh, what?"
"You never heard of it? Let me show you." Austin pulled Bowie away, but not before flipping the switch again. "Oh, COME ON!" Julia complained from inside. In the kitchen, DJ was taking something out of the freezer. "Hey, guys," DJ welcomed to Austin and Bowie. "You're just in time. I pulled the first patch out of the freezer."
"And these are...?" Bowie asked.
"Paletas," Austin explained. "Little frozen treats made out of custards and creams and all sorts of tasty goodies. I love going to Abuela's paleteria shop after a hard day's work on the ranch and try the different varieties she made. Sometimes she went tropical while others had crunchy treats mixed with the cream."
"Your grandma sounds like a sweet lady," DJ noted.
"Oh, she ain't my grandma. Everyone just calls her Abuela for how sweet she is. Anyway, I asked the big guy if he could whip up a few, and he said yes. There's quite a few to choose from. Help yourself." Bowie picked up a bright-colored bar and took a cautious lick. "Mmm, not bad," he noted. "Kinda tastes like one of those coconut candies."
"Abuela does use tropical fruit and chocolate the most when making these," Austin replied. "My favorites has bits of honeycomb, vanilla pudding and cajeta mixed in, topped with just a pinch of white chocolate. Talk about tasty!" He noticed an exhausted Julia stumbling into the kitchen. "Glad you made it," Austin told her. "Paleta? I think there's one that's strawberry-kiwi with watermelon drizzle for you."
"Whatever," Julia moaned as she grabbed the frozen bar.

Back in the woods, the group of Jasmine, Samey and Sol were searching for food. "I still can't believe your bitch of a sister tossed you out like that," Sol grumbled. "Next time you see her, tell her off on it. Get angry at her. I do it all the time."
"Um, maybe," Samey stammered.
"Huh," Jasmine thought as she went over to a plant. "What's a Chinese mulberry bush doing in this part of the world?"
"Chris probably brought it like he did his spa hotel," Sol reasoned while he walked. He ended up bumping into a trio of people. "Didn't expect to literally run into anyone here," Rose noted with a slight giggle.
"Hi, Jasmine," Beth greeted as she helped Lucas regain his footing. "Sorry for umping into you. We were trying to find some food. Are these berries edible?"
"They're ripe enough for eating," Jasmine assured her. "Hey, isn't that rich kid usually with you?"
"Do you mean Carly?" Rose replied. "When I went to go see her this morning, she was gone."
"It's not just her," Lucas added. "Trent also pulled a Houdini act on us this morning. Maybe they went foraging, too?"
"I doubt it," Sol muttered under his breath.
"Hey! I know my team better than you do! We work together and we're quick to root out the bad weeds."
"Really? I'm looking at a weed right now."
"Focus on the foraging," Rose advised the boys. "No point in fighting now."
"Fine," Sol grumbled. "I don't want Sammy seeing me in a bad light again. Speaking of which, where is she?"
"Ooh!" Samey gushed off-screen, catching the group's attention. "Apples!" She was about to take a bite- "NO!" Jasmine and Rose cried out. Jasmine quickly threw a stick, shooting the fruit out of Samey's hand and piercing a tree. "Whoa," Samey noted, "I would've given you a bite if you'd ask."
"I'm sorry," Jasmine informed her, "But that's a-"
"Manchineel fruit," Shawn finished. The group looked up to see him atop a tree. "The Spanish refer to it as manzana de la muerte," Shawn clarified, "AKA 'the little apple of death'."
"He's right," Rose confirmed as he got down. "While it wouldn't have killed you, it would've made your mouth blister something awful."
"My hand!" Samey gasped as she saw the rash on her hand where she held the fruit just moments ago. "It's so itchy!"
"Congrats, princess," Shawn told her. "You just got your first lesson in Survival 101: Know Your Flora. Lesson two: soak your hand in water, scrub with sand, swelling gone."
"That will about do it," Rose agreed.
"Oh, but I'm supposed to help you with the foraging," Samey pointed out to Jasmine.
"You won't be of any help when your hand swells up like a wicket keeper's glove," Jasmine countered. However, everyone was simply confused by her words. "Cricket?" Jasmine cleared up. "It's a game. Just go."
"We'd better be heading off, too," Beth meekly added. "Hope everyone likes, uh..."
"Mulberries?" Rose finished.
"Yeah, that."
"Guess we'll see you guys later." Rose, Lucas and Beth started to walk off. "Hello, Sammy," Lucas said in a sort-of suave tone.
"Goodbye, stupid one," Sol whipped back as he led Samey away. "Come on, cher. We gotta find onions."
"Nice score," Jasmine acknowledged as she saw Shawn's bag filled with berries. "You're quite the outdoorsman."
"Gotta know stuff if you wanna survive a zombie apocalypse," Shawn replied.
"Right, but what were you doing up in that tree?"
"That's where I'm sleeping. No shuffler can get you from up there."
"I hear that, mate."

"Campers!" Chris announced over the loudspeakers. "The only good thing about this morning is that it's gonna get worse...for you. There's a path heading into the forest. Follow it to today's hurt-tacular challenge." A second later, the Bears were walking along the path while snacking on berries. "See?" Sky encouraged. "This is teamwork. Way to go, Shawn."
"I can't believe you found so much food so fast," Dave said with amazement.
"You are an excellent scavenger," Melody said, "Both with food and companionship."
"Uh, thanks?" Shawn replied with uncertainty.
"Hey, Greggy," Destiny began, "Are you gonna tell me about you and Be-ar-do's surcret project?"
"Sorry, Desi," Greg sadly answered. "No can do. I'm not telling anybody."
"I'm not anybody, though. Come on, Greggy. Please?"
"Desi, if I tell you, it'll be the same as telling everybody. Drop. It." Greg kept walking ahead, leaving Destiny with a shocked look. She was about to say something to Beardo when he made a zippering sound. "Oh, come on!" Destiny pouted.

With the Gophers, they were walking down the path. "Of all the things to pick up," Heather complained, "Why did you pick up this garbage?"
"They're mulberries," Beth weakly defended, "And it was all we could find."
"Next time, try harder to find something good."
"Next time," Rose countered, "You can come with us to help find something good." Heather just scoffed before storming off. "A bit better," Rose muttered under her breath.
"Glad you got berries, Amy," Topher thanked as the Frogs walked down the path. "All the antioxidants give my skin that healthy camera-worthy glow."
"I got the berries," Samey protested, "Not Amy."
"Oink, oink," Amy scolded, "Spot the attention hog! I was the one who, like, made you go."
"You know what's worse than Samey trying to steal your credit?" Valerie sneered. "Sol's cooking. It's hideous."
"No, it ain't," Sol countered. "My roast was a hit."
"To who? Soda Sipper and Feral Freak? They're the only ones who dared to risk food poisoning."
"But it's good," Zee muffled, spitting out bites of his food. It landed on Valerie and Amy, making them groan and dart ahead. "I thank you, boy," Sol told Zee.
"No problem," Zee replied, spitting food onto Sol.
"Never mind."
"Clam up, campers!" Chris ordered. "Pick up the pace!"
"Sure thing, man," Zee muffled again.
"Welcome, victims," Chris began once everyone was gathered, "To the Oopstacle Relay Race of Humiliating Hurts."
"Great name," Topher complimented. "Total props, Chris."
"Thank you, Topher. Now, a each player takes on a different oopstacle, starting with the greased log over a thorny bog." Chris pressed a remote, changing the picture on the screen. "That gets you to a greasy zip line over the ravine for the next player. Then, a quick and painful journey through...the Greasetacular Tubetacular. Next up is the grease tires, and then a pass-off to the greasey wheelbarrow race, and the last lucky player climbs a rope up the greased wall, or tries to and falls, which is WAY funnier."
"That's...a lot of grease," Dave worriedly noted. "It's very greasy, like, ALL of it! Greasy..."
"So we noticed," Millie remarked.
"Don't panic," Sky assured him. "No one will force you to do the relay."
"And if Chris tries anything," Destiny added, "You could simply go around and-"
"No going around the oopstacles," Chris interrupted. "Doing so will disqualify your team. Now, I was gonna have you pass a relay baton, but couldn't find any."
"Only a incompetent host would forget relay batons in a relay race," Blainley taunted.
"Shush!" Topher told her before turning to Chris. "What are you gonna make us use instead? Oh-ho-ho, this is gonna be so good!" The group were surprised at the sound and sight of squealing pigs being dragged over to them by Chef and Karol. "You'll be using greased wild boars," Chris informed them. "Not so much batons as bacons."
"Good one, Chris!" Topher exclaimed.
"Thank you, Topher. First team across the finish line with their boar wins while last place votes someone off. And to make things a bit more interesting than our last relay, two rules are in place. First one is two people have to double up on one section of the race. Second one is anyone that competed in the last relay can't compete again. Now, decide who's on which oopstacle cause the race is about to start."
"We have to pick some strong players for this," Lucas told the Gophers. "I'd go if I could, but I can't due to Chris's rules. Who's starting and ending?"
"I can do start while Lacey does end," Sarah volunteered. "Her brawn's good for climbing while the first part is similar to a skateboarding ramp."
"Who's zip-lining and tubing?" Rose inquired.
"Oh!" Izzy spoke up. "Izzy could zip-line while Big O does the sausage tubes!"
"Sounds AWESOME, Izzy!" Owen exclaimed.
"Maybe Max can do the wheelbarrow?" Bryan put in. "I heard him claiming to have built something that might help."
"That leaves the tires as the team-up," Heather reasoned, "And Beth and I volunteer ourselves for it."
"We do?" Beth thought, but a glare from Heather made her quickly change her mind. "Um, yeah. We do."
"Ames me," Rodney stammered out. "Sure do."
"Who is Ames?" Helga asked. "We have no one by that name."
"No, wait! I mean...ah!"
"Focus, Rodster," Nikki advised Rodney in a whisper. "Take a breather." Rodney took a breath. "Two heart strong can...uh," he continued, to Helga's surprise. "I wrote a-" He was quickly cut short by a punch to the gut. "Stop talking," Amy sternly scolded. "Samey and me will partner up. End of story." Rodney simply stared at the twin with a loving look. "What?" Helga muttered under her breath.

"Why is Ginger Boy looking at Samey like that? She is bad twin and not 'two heart strong' like Ginger Boy says."

"Amy wants to be my partner? Maybe this is some kind of turning point!"

"Wouldn't be fair to stick one of you with Samey," Amy continued, much to Samey's disappointment. "She's horrible at everything."
"Rodney goes first," Jasmine decided, "Topher second, Amy and Samey third, Scarlett on the tires, Shane at the wheelbarrow, I'll take the wall. Go, go! Hop to it like kangaroos!"
"One problem, guys," Shane spoke up. He pointed ahead, where Phoebe was chasing the boars. "Piggie, piggie, piggie!" she squealed as she followed the scurrying pigs.
"Phoebe?" Brick called out. "Time to let the others play with the pigs now." However, Phoebe still kept chasing them. Keith quickly snatched her up by her braid once she ran nearby. "No pigs," he sternly told her.
"But...why?" Phoebe asked with pleading eyes.
"Because you competed in the last relay, squirt. No racing with pigs."
"Aw..."
"How are we to do this?" Bowie inquired. "We need strong people out there."
"I'll decide the order," Julia suddenly barged in. "DJ, Geoff, Anthony, Austin and Courtney, Scott and myself." She and the others turned their attention to Luna's sudden outburst of laughter. "What's so funny?" Sam demanded.
"She picked Scott!" Luna giggled.
"Better ignore her," Scott quickly advised. "She talks to rocks like people. Onto the race!" The group ran off. "Sugar should obviously be in the race," Shawn began. "Back on her farm, she plays with greased pigs all the time."
"We should also decide who-" Dave added. He noticed Beardo holding up his hand. "Okay, I'll bite. What?"
"Melody should start," Beardo suggested. "She's an expert with animals. Ella should also be in for that reason, too."
"Not a bad idea," Greg agreed. "And why don't you and I team up with the last leg?"
"Can we go back to reality for a second?" Dave suggested. "The last leg is the hardest, so someone like Sky should-"
"Sky can't compete, and the last leg being the hardest is exactly why the team-up needs to be there. The first person climbs up by themselves, then the second person at the bottom ties the rope to the pig. The first person pulls the pig off before returning the rope back to the second player. He jumps off to the other side with the pig, and the second player follows soon after. Simple."
"It sounds more complicated than looking up what a quokka is," Ethan breathed out.
"Ooh!" Ella gushed. "Does anyone have one of those?"
"Okay, teams," Chris announced over the loudspeakers, "Take your positions."
"Melody starts while Greg and I finish," Beardo suggested. "Sugar, Ella, Shawn and Destiny can pick a spot they like."
"Swiller!" Destiny exclaimed. "Let's go!"
"I've got a bad feeling about this," Dave muttered. A moment later, Sarah and DJ were struggling to hold their pig while Melody and Rodney's pigs were much more calmer. "Ready..." Chris announced. "Set..." He blew his air horn, signaling the start of the race. Sarah and DJ's pigs bolted right out of their hands. "Get back here!" Sarah shouted as she chased after it. Melody started to walk calmly ahead with her pig while Rodney's pig sat stubbornly on the ground. "For Amy," he told himself. He picked up the pig and started walking across, though his feet kept slipping. "I fear your affections are gravely misplaced," Melody advised as she and the pig stopped halfway across. "You found a girl with a cold heart, but your desired one is to be brought out of the cold that surrounds her." Helga, observing from the sidelines, widened her eyes in shock at these words.

"Behold!" Max declared as he held up a strange helmet. "My triumph! Isn't it so diabolically terribilific?" However, Shane, Beth and Heather were baffled. "Um, what is it?" Scarlett inquired.
"It's a helmet of EVIL, obviously!" Max explained. "This contraption will turn any animal into an EVIL companion!" Shane gasped with worry. "Watch," Max continued as he walked over to a rabbit. "Come hither, buddy. It's time to EVIL!" He placed the helmet on the rabbit's head. "Ooh! Look how diabolical it's becoming. Isn't it terrifying?"
"Goosebumps, Max," Scarlett plainly stated. "I have goosebumps." Shane simply breathed out a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Rodney was struggling to get across. DJ had finally caught his pig. "Easy, little guy," he hushed while hugging it. "Maybe you can piggyback on me." The pig happily agreed and got on DJ's back. "Come on," Sarah ushered to her pig as it started up the log. "Get up there." It farted in her face, making her gag. "Come on, Melody!" Shawn shouted. "We-" He was taken aback by Melody's sudden appearance. "I survived the apocalypse," she told Shawn as she passed him the leash. However, the pig dragged Shawn away. DJ soon made it across with his pig. "Nice going, dude!" Geoff cheered. Sarah managed to push her pig up and across, then slid across herself. "Izzy!" she rallied. Izzy quickly darted ahead with the pig. "Nice moves, Sarah," DJ complimented.
"Oh," Sarah replied with a slight blush, "Thanks."
"Good boy," Rodney told the pig. "You're doing great." He ended up losing his balance and landing with a split on the log. "My biscuits!" Chris and Chef simply laughed at his misfortune while the country boy painfully slid down.

Rodney pushed the pig over to Topher. "And that's why they call it the Oopstacle Course," Topher noted. "Right, Chris?"
"Nice one, Topher," Chris replied. Over by the zip-line, Izzy cackled as she started to slide down and she soon bumped into Owen, making her bounce back and land in the water. "You okay, Iz?" Owen asked with concern.
"That was so fun!" Izzy exclaimed. "Let's do it again!"
"See, little guy?" Shawn told the pig he was carrying. "To survive this game, you gotta use your head." The pig bit his head. "OW! OW! I said head, not brains!" The pig zipped across the line while Shawn fell into the water below. Geoff, meanwhile, decided to use his shirt to help him zip-line. "WHOO-HOO!" he whooped as he slid down with the pig. However, the friction caused the shirt to tear. He quickly tossed the pig on the line before he fell into the water. "And it looks like gorgeous player Topher is learning from Shawn, Izzy and Geoff's mistakes," Topher muttered. He hooked himself up to the line before sliding down with the pig. "Dude, Chris, I'm loving this challenge! You must've been up all night planning this one, cause you kinda look like you were."
"Do I look tired?" Chris asked Chef, who simply replied with some nervous whistling.
"Come on, pig!" Sugar cheered. "Come to Mama!"
"Here, sea hog," Anthony called out. Both of them were tackled by their pigs. "And the awesome Topher completes his leg of the challenge!" Topher announced.
"What a sweet little piggie," Sugar gushed as she petted it. "Who's a greasy little piggie?"
"Let's move, sea hog," Anthony ushered to his pig. "Lead the way!" The pig darted ahead with the pirate in tow. "Which pork will place first?" Topher narrated to the camera. "Find out after the break here on Total-"
"Ahem," Chris interrupted with an annoyed look.
"I am so sorry. I didn't know what I was-"
"It's neck-and-neck and is about to get tubular. Who's got the pork chops to win? Find out right here on Total...Drama...Island!"
"You are so good!"
"Yes, I am."

Anthony and Owen were the first to reach the tubes. "They look a tad small, don't they?" Owen reasoned. "Think we'll fit?"
"Only one way to find out," Anthony replied. "Let's go!" He and his pig dove inside, followed by Owen and his pig. "It's a bit cramped," Owen noted. "I don't do well with small spaces." He let out a little toot. "What's that stench?" Anthony wondered. "Gah! It's horrible!"
"Everything alright in there?" Bowie asked from the sidelines. He winced when he heard the sound of puking. "Go on," Anthony weakly told the pig. "Save yourself." However, the pig simply dragged him down the tubes by his shirt. "Come on, Owen!" Heather shouted. "You need to move faster!"
"I think I'm lost," Owen noted. "Now I think I'm stuck."
"Well, just get the pig here!" The pig ran out of the tubes. "About time," Heather complained. "Beth, take the lease."
"Hang on," Courtney protested. "You can't go ahead. Owen isn't out yet."
"So? I have a challenge to win." Heather strutted ahead, with Beth struggling to tug the pig behind her. "This is SO against the rules!" Courtney voiced out. "Chris! Heather's breaking the rules!"
"No, she isn't," Chris countered. "Nothing in the rule book said Owen had to be there. Just the pig."
"Where in the rule book? I demand to see it!"
"No can do. Off-limits."
"I have a legal right to see it! If you don't show me the rule book, I will file a lawsuit for-"
"SHUT UP!" Austin yelled back, knocking Courtney over. "God, your lawyer talk's giving me a headache." He looked over to Sugar, who was still holding the pig. "Mama loves you," she gushed. "Yes, she does, baby boo."

Sugar kissed the pig, calming it down. "That's better," she lovingly told it. She then raced off, even passing the twins. "I'm gonna name you Grease Pig!" She went inside the pipes.

"Stop fooling around and HURRY UP!" Amy shouted. The pig dragged the twins into the pipes. "I was worried about cruelty to animals during the challenge," Chris told Chef, "But I'm fine with cruelty to Samey." Anthony was dragged out of the pipes by his pig. "Daylight," he breathed out. "Fresh air. Thanks a million, sea hog."
"Ahem," Courtney cut in. "You couldn't handle going through some simple pipes?!"
"That whale of a Gopher stank the whole thing up. I thought I was gonna choke and pass out."
"No point dwelling over that now," Austin pointed out while rubbing the pig's belly. "The thing is that you're living."
"No," Courtney scolded, "We need to focus on winning! This is a competition, not a playground!" She was suddenly lassoed by a rope. "What the heck?"
"Gonna get us ahead," Austin informed her as he tied the other end of the rope to the pig. "Giddy up, mighty hog! Onto the tires!" The pig eagerly dashed ahead, dragging a screaming Courtney behind her. "WAHOO!" Austin whooped as he slid ahead. The group quickly knocked over Beth and Heather. "HEY!" Heather scolded. "You got me all greasy and gross!"
"Come on, Sugar!" Ella cheered. Sugar exited the pipes. "Hooray!" Ella exclaimed. "I'll take it from here."
"No!" Sugar protested. "I'm keeping her! Or him. Her-him. He's mine forever!"
"Um, well, maybe I can just piggy-sit her for a tiddly bit?" Ella began to sing. "Hey, there, little girl or fella," she vocalized while doing a little twirl, "If you came over here, it'd be mighty swellaaaa!" Sugar gasped as the pig squirmed out of her hands and into Ella's. "I love you, Grease Pig!" Sugar cried out.
Confessional: Sugar (Confused Bears)
"But I don't love that pig-stealing, singy-faced...Ella!"
End Confessional
Ella continued to sing as she danced across the tires with the pig. "Great work, Miss Eleanor!" Ethan cheered from the sidelines. The pig carried her across for a bit as Ella vocalized. "Maybe go a little faster?" Dave suggested.
Back at the pipes, Scarlett was dropping some nuts on the ground as she walked ahead. The twins screamed after getting dragged out of the tubes. "I'm sweaty and disgusting!" Amy moaned to Samey. "I look like you!"
"Oh, I'm sorry," Samey told her as she brushed the dirt off Amy, "But you're the one that scared the pig." Amy slapped Samey's hand away. "You beg my pardon?!" she scolded. "Whose fault is this?"
"Mine," Samey sadly replied in defeat.
"Yes. Always."
"Ooh!" Chris exclaimed as Scarlett and the pig dashed ahead. "Looks like Scarlett's inner animal trainer has come out!"
Confessional: Scarlett (Frogs of Death)
"Pigs love pecans. Maybe they know pecans delay the progression of age-related motor neuron degeneration."
End Confessional
Austin soon reached Scott and quickly placed the pig into the wheelbarrow. "Just gotta untie this knot..." Austin muttered as he undid the pig's ropes. "There."
"What did you do that for?!" a grease-covered Courtney scolded. "You got me drenched in grease!"
"Gotta get across somehow," Scott casually said. He then started to stroll ahead with his wheelbarrow. "Hurry it up, Scott!" Julia shouted.
"I don't wanna slip and lose valuable time," Scott countered. Over by the sidelines, Bowie watched him with a curious look.
Confessional: Bowie (Toxic Rats)
"You wanna know what I think? I think Scott's going slow on purpose. Hmm, maybe I can use this to my advantage."

"And with only two oopstacles left," Chris announced, "The Rats are leading, Gophers shortly behind, and Frogs are catching up to the Bears." He then noticed Ella's humming. "Wait. What's-what's that noise?"
"We're right where we belong," Ella sang as she and the pig danced ahead, "With an oink and a song. We are moving right along to the-" Chris loudly blew his air horn, spooking the pig. "You scared him!" Ella angrily called out.
"There is no singing required in this show," Chris replied. "NONE!" Ella just gasped in shock.
"Time to EVIL," Max declared. "Bring me the pig. I command it!" A tired Beth placed the pig in the wheelbarrow before collapsing. "How useless," Heather scoffed as she strutted up.
"Hold this while I limber up," Max instructed to her. As Max stretched, Scarlett placed a pecan into the wheelbarrow, making the pig hop inside. "Nice going, Scarlett," Shane complimented. "Uh, Scarlett?"
"May I see that?" Scarlett asked while pointing to the helmet.
"Here," Heather said with disgust. "Take this junk." Scarlett looked at it before inserting a little plug into a hole, making a light shine. "Mind if I put this on the pig?" she then asked Shane.
"I guess," Shane shrugged. "It's more decoration than anything." Scarlett put the helmet on the pig, which then got a scowl on its face. Shane ran ahead, with Max soon following suit with his pig. "Gophers and Frogs are catching up to Slow-Mo Scott," Chris announced.
"That mean man gave Mister Truffle Hunter a dreadful fright," Ella informed Destiny after the pig hopped into the wheelbarrow.
"His name's Grease Pig!" Sugar corrected off-screen. Destiny looked ahead, then hopped into the wheelbarrow. "Ready to feel the power of rock, Greaser?" she asked while pulling out her guitar. "Time for some Rooftop Run!" She blasted a melody on her guitar, which was strong enough to push the wheelbarrow forward. "Hi," Destiny said while passing Max and Shane. The pig in Shane's wheelbarrow scowled before scooping up some grease and chucking it at Shane. "Easy, little guy," Shane assured it. "Were getting there."
"It works!" Max exclaimed. "That's what you get when you're up against EVIL incarnate." He tried to laugh but some grease was flung into his face. "EW! Cease this instant! I am your diabolical master." The pig threw grease on Max and Shane again, causing them to lose their grip on the wheelbarrow and fall down. Meanwhile, Destiny managed to pass Scott. "Go, Desi, go!" Greg cheered. A moment later, he was shouting, "Slow down, Desi!" A sudden CRASH was heard off-screen, and the camera changed to Beardo on the ground with the pig on his back. Greg was lying on the ground while Destiny was only inches away from his face. "Hey, Greggy," Destiny casually said, making the nerd blush.
Confessional: Greg (Confused Bears)
He squealed with excitement. "Me and Desi! A dream come true!" He squealed again but gave a cry of shock as some pigs broke into the outhouse and tackled him.
End Confessional
"EVIL stops for nothing!" Max declared as he pushed the two wheelbarrows ahead. Shane's pig kept flinging grease at everyone, making them run off. The wheelbarrows crashed onto a rock, flinging the pigs and breaking the helmet. "My device!" Max gasped. "It's ruined! Maleficent rocks!"
"You know the plan, Beardo?" Greg told him. "You should climb first." Beardo made a monkey sound before starting to climb. "What took you so long?!" Julia complained once Scott arrived.
"Who's a good greased pig?" Scott gushed to the pig. "Yes, you are. Yes, you are? Oh, did you want this? Why didn't you say so, Julia?" Julia gave out a loud cry of frustration before kicking Scott aside. She then picked up her pig and threw it over the wall. "Whoa," Beardo breathed out in the middle of his climb. "She went all Hulk on us."
Confessional: Julia (Toxic Rats)
"I am not losing this challenge because that butt-knuckle Scott can't get his ass in gear! Why would he-" A realization came to her. "Is that why Luna was laughing?"
End Confessional
Julia started to quickly scale the rope, but not before seeing Beardo getting ahead. After she reached the top, she swiftly kicked Beardo back down. Julia then grabbed his rope and slid down the other side to Chris. "And with that," Chris announced, "Julia wins immunity and the spa hotel for the Rats!"
"YES!" Julia cheered. "Yes! I won!" However, the rest of her team were giving her disapproving looks. "What?" Julia scoffed. "Anyone else would've done the same."
Confessional: DJ (Toxic Rats)
"Nope."
Confessional: Bridgette (Toxic Rats)
"Uh-uh. No way."
Confessional: Anthony (Toxic Rats)
"At least Emma and I had valid reason for doing it to Chase."

"Kicking the dude down? Save the kicking for soccer."
Confessional: Austin (Toxic Rats)
"I'm starting to regret saying yes to Julia's alliance."

"Honestly, I'm glad Julia pulled this team out of the gutter. With people like Austin, you need all the help you can get."

"Alright," Jasmine told her pig, "Come here, you little rat bag." However, the pig backed up in fear. "Whoa," Jasmine continued, "Calm down, little guy. Take it easy. Nice and easy. Easy..." Her words echoed in the pig's head before he happily rolled onto its back. Jasmine just chuckled as she rubbed the pig's tummy. Meanwhile, Lacey walked over and grabbed her pig, rolling her eyes at a grumpy Max. "Now to keep our asses safe," she declared. "Or bacon, in your case."
"You okay, buddy?" Greg asked Beardo.
"Sorry I fell," Beardo moaned after spitting out some dirt. "Julia kicked me off. I think we might be done."
"Come on now. We still have a good shot if we hurry." However, the two boys saw Lacey and Jasmine quickly scaling the wall and hoping over to the other side. "This just in," Chris announced. "Beatboxer and nerd beat by Biker and Amazon. Frogs and Gophers are safe from elimination!" The Gophers and Frogs started to cheer. "Come on, Max," Rose encouraged. "We're safe."
"And tonight's meal is provided by Jimmy's Beaks and Feet," Chris continued. "'Our chickens walk the walk, talk the talk, then we put them in the fryer.'" Chef tossed two buckets to the Gophers and Frogs. "Now that's evil," Chris commented. The teams ran off, save for the Bears. Ella and Ethan noticed Shane still lying in the grease. "You okay, good fellow?" Ethan inquired as they walked over. Shane just moaned in response. "Perhaps a song could cheer you up," Ella suggested.
"You might want to wait," Ethan advised. "At least until he gets the grease out of his ears so he can hear." He picked Shane up and started to carry him off, with Ella skipping behind him.
Confessional: Shane (Frogs of Death)
"I screwed up yet again." He started to cry. "I'm such a failure."

"Jasmine," Samey told her, "That pig thing was totally cool! How'd you do that?"
"Just a little trick I learned back home," Jasmine modestly replied. "No biggie." They saw a pig dart in between the Frogs. "Runaway pig!" Sol shouted.
"Why don't you try to catch it?" Jasmine suggested to Samey. "Maybe then, you'll get some credit instead of Amy." Samey then ran after the pig deep in the woods and managed to grab its leash. She dug her shoes into the ground until she and the pig skid to a stop. "I did it!" Samey exclaimed. "I caught it!" She was suddenly shoved to the ground by Amy. "About time, lazybones," she scolded as she hopped onto the pig. She rode the pig back to the Frogs. "Amazing, Amy!" Valerie cheered. "You caught the pig!"
"It was easy for someone like me," Amy boasted. "Samey would've taken ages."
"I doubt that," Jasmine grumbled under her breath.
"That's gotta be the most incredible thing on the island so far," Nikki gushed.
"Yeah," Sol loudly commented before snidely adding with a smirk, "It's not every day you see a pig with two asses on it." Amy's smug expression quickly shifted to shock, then anger. "How dare you try to compare me to an ass!" she scolded after getting off the pig.
"You're right," Sol countered. "I'd be giving asses everywhere a bad name." He and Jasmine laughed at that while Amy gaped in a stunned silence. "Don't worry," Valerie whispered to Amy. "We'll make sure they pay." They saw Phoebe trying to run after the pig, dragging Keith behind her as he held onto her cape.
Confessional: Valerie (Frogs of Death)
"Those two are rising quickly to the top of the list of people I want eliminated."

"That Sol certainly knows his way with a comeback. I hope no one's finding me too bossy. I mean, I had to take charge or it might've been one of us going home."

"This is perfect, Shawn!" Sky exclaimed as the Bears stood inside a cave.
"It needs sparkles," Sugar commented.
"It needs beds," Millie added. "Or some pillows."
"I figured another night of sleeping in the rain isn't gonna help us win the next challenge," Shawn explained.
"You finally gonna come down from your tree?" Dave asked.
"Nuh-uh. Thanks for asking, but no way am I gonna be an undead snack." Shawn started to walk off. "If you find Greggy and Be-ar-do," Destiny called out, "Tell them about the cave. He'll let 'em know, right?"
"Where are those two, anyway?" Dave thought. Over in a darkened room, Greg was busy placing a small electronic in with some tweezers. "I still can't believe you found this little hangout," Beardo noted with amazement.
"It's still undergoing renovation," Greg explained. "Remember that broken phone Sierra gave me to fix and I first fixed it as a magnet? Well, it ended up getting stuck to the entrance of our little cave since it had large traces of nickel in it. I figured with a bit of sprucing up, it'll make our stay on Pahkitew much more enjoyable even when we don't get first."
"Maybe grab some stuff from the junk pile now that Chef isn't guarding it?"
"Most likely. But I still don't get why there was a pipe-like entrance and a metal room underground." Beardo made some BEEPs and BOOPs while doing a robot dance. "Oh, yeah," Greg laughed. "Maybe the island is full of robots and metal rooms."
"Just a guess," Beardo shrugged. "But I'm glad you trust me enough to show me this."
"Of course. You're one of my pals. And hey, the way you were leading today is impressive."
"Thanks. A shame we have to vote someone out again. Who should it be?"
"Hmm, maybe Jo? She's heavily disliked. And we've got Sky, Shawn, Desi and Priya for brawn. No need to keep Jo."
"Confused Bears," Chris announced over the loudspeakers, "Please head to the elimination campfire area. Cannon needs num-num."
"Guess we better get out of here," Beardo told Greg. "And that cover you made for the entrance was very clever."
"I know, right?" Greg boasted while climbing up a ladder. "No one will ever think of looking here for it except us." Outside, a tree stump was sitting on the ground when the top got moved aside, with Greg coming out soon after. Beardo made a Warp Pipe sound from the Super Mario games as he exited. "You are really talented at your sound effects," Greg complimented as he moved the cover back on the stump. "Hopefully we can get more from you."
"Me, too," Beardo agreed. Later that night, the Confused Bears were at the elimination area. Shawn, Ezekiel, Ethan, Priya, Millie, Dave, Sky, Destiny, Greg and Beardo were in the back row while Sugar, the grease pig, Melody, Paul, Tyler, Jo, Blainley, Alejandro and Ella were in the front row. "Hey, why so glum?" Chris began. "You tried your best, and it was horrible. Now, let's see who you all blame for your failure."
"Beardo," Chef said, "You were the one who picked out the relay order, and you and Greg botched the last part of the race."
Confessional: Beardo (Confused Bears)
"But Julia pushed me off. They know that, right?"
End Confessional
"Ella," Chef continued.
"Yes?" Ella replied.
"You were arguably the slowest on the relay, which might've not happened if you hadn't been busy singing and dancing. And Sugar, you withheld the pig from Ella, costing your team valuable time."
"His name is Grease Pig!" Sugar whipped back.
"Whatever. If I hand you a marshmallow, you're safe. Paul, Melody, Destiny, Shawn, Millie, Priya, Ethan, Ezekiel, Sugar, Blainley, Greg, Tyler, Dave, Sky, Alejandro and Jo, you're safe from elimination, which leaves Ella the songbird and Beardo the sound machine. And the one eliminated tonight is..." Ella and Beardo quickly got a nervous look. "..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Beardo." Beardo made the dying Pac-Man sound. "Looks like it's game over," Greg sighed.
"I'm a bit surprised," Priya noted. "I thought for sure Jo would leave, or at least be in the Bottom Two."
"Same here," Dave agreed.
"At least now I'll get a good night's sleep," Jo pointed out. She was suddenly hit in the head by Destiny's guitar. "Watch it, Gray and Grim," Destiny advised. A moment later, Beardo had a helmet on as he was in the Cannon of Shame. "Bye, buddy," Greg told him. "Say hi to Lara for us." Beardo nodded before making a clicking noise. "So long, Beardo," Chris said. He was taken aback by a sudden BOOM sound from Beardo. "Enough already," Chris complained before pressing a button on his remote.
"IT WAS REALLY NICE MEETING ALL OF YOU!" Beardo quickly shouted as he was blasted off the island.
"So far, we've lost stuff like supermodels, sham celebrities, psychotic horror girls, a wizard, a cosplayer and a beatboxer, key players in a game I'd never, EVER want to play. Who's next in the boom-boom machine? Only time will tell on Total...Drama...Island!"

Episode 24, people! And yes, it is quite shorter than the last few of late. So, the elimination. Sadly, Beardo had to be cut right here. But he definitely got a chance to shine here, especially with his friendship with Greg.
Some plots did get some advancement, such as the Pahkitwins, Beth and her role in Heather's alliance, Julia with her teammates, Topher and Chris, among some others.
Next episode will have the campers picking each other off one-by-one with water- Wait. They AREN'T filled with water? Oh, dear. Until next time, enjoy and have a good day.
