Total Drama Random Island
Chapter 25: I Triple Dog Dare You
"Last time on Total Drama Island ! Your host was throwing a fancy awards ceremony… until Chef took over as host. And man, was he brutal! Not only did he abandon the campers in the middle of the woods to fend for themselves, but he also left them in Sasquatch territory! The good old Sasquatch chased our campers into a cave packed with bats—where Dave got another kiss! Eventually, both teams called a truce and decided to camp together. But the girls outsmarted the boys and ran off with everything… including their dignity.
In the end, Duncan, the delinquent, took the Walk of Shame, leaving three punishment-hungry campers to take on our most thrilling challenge yet! Don't believe me? Then I dare you to watch this episode of TOTAL DRAMA... ISLAND!
After the theme song, we cut to the remaining contestants sleeping in their cabins.
"Campers!" Chris's voice blared through the loudspeakers. "Welcome to the semi-finals! Today, we're rewarding our challengers with an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast! That's right! Genuine food by-products served with fresh ingredients that are relatively close to their expiration dates!"
In the kitchen, Chef had prepared about twenty pancakes. Several of them were stuck to the ceiling after he flipped them recklessly. Grumbling, he used a dirty shovel to scrape them down and toss them onto the tray.
Confessional: Gwen
"I made it to the final three! Just goes to show how far bad behavior can get you!"
Confessional: Dave
"It's a miracle I got this far. A skinny germophobe managed to outlast a bunch of athletes. I bet a lot of you lost your bets on that one!"
Confessional: Leshawna
"I'm not really surprised I made it. None of the other contestants scared me. Shoutout to all my girls—I'm coming, and we're celebrating my victory together!"
End Confessional
Back in the main hall, Leshawna, Dave, and Gwen gathered for their pancake breakfast. Dave dreaded it. Sure enough, when he got his plate, his pancakes were covered in nail clippings, stray hairs, dirt stains, and other inedible bits. At this point, Dave knew better than to complain. He did his best to wipe off the filth, knowing he'd need his strength for the day.
Confessional: Gwen
"Winning the prize money would be great, but I do feel kinda bad for Leshawna and Dave. They're some of the only normal people here."
Confessional: Dave
"Leshawna is a tough competitor, and she won't be easy to beat—especially since she and Gwen are in an alliance. That means I have to win this challenge."
Confessional: Leshawna
"I'm lucky to be in this situation. Dave isn't the strongest competitor, and Gwen—well, she's my ally. That means one of us has to win."
Confessional: Gwen
"If I win, I'll buy Camp Wawanakwa and turn it into a relic museum."
Confessional: Dave
"I wanted to spend the prize money with Sky, enjoy it together. But since she lied to me… I don't know what to do with it anymore."
Confessional: Leshawna
"If I win, I'm throwing a huge party with all my girls from the neighborhood. We're going all out!"
Confessional: Gwen
"Honestly, I've had enough drama here. Once this is over, I'm moving on. Being locked up with the same people all summer? No thanks."
Confessional: Dave
"This experience has been… mixed. At first, I thought I'd landed in a madhouse. But over time, people started seeming more normal… and even nice."
Confessional: Leshawna
"Being here has been a nightmare. Horrible food, early wake-up calls—I cannot wait to leave."
Confessional: Gwen
"Dave and Leshawna shouldn't be underestimated. I just hope Dave's weakness gets him eliminated in this challenge."
Confessional: Dave
"Leshawna has a lot of strengths, but she's also really proud. Maybe I can use that to my advantage."
Confessional: Leshawna
"I love Gwen, but let's be real—her physical skills aren't great. Same with Dave. This should be an easy win for me."
End of Confessionals.
After finishing their confessions, Leshawna, Dave, and Gwen headed to the amphitheater, each taking a seat at a podium—Dave on the right, Gwen on the left, and Leshawna in the center.
"Campers! Welcome to the semi-finals!" Chris announced. "Today, we're playing Total Drama Island's version of Spin the Bottle! The producers ran out of insane ways to torture you, so we asked the eliminated campers for ideas! Turns out, they had plenty! They came up with the most twisted, messed-up challenges imaginable!"
Chris gestured toward a giant spinning wheel, with a glass bottle in the center serving as a pointer. The wheel was covered with photos of all the eliminated contestants.
"With challenges from Jasmine, Bridgette, Scott, Shawn, Duncan, Dawn, Sammy, Sky, Sam, Amy, Idris, Rodney, B, Brick, DJ, Leonard, Beardo, Izzy, and Max!"
"Not bad. I actually like this idea," Dave said.
"Thanks! But just wait until you see the challenges. You're gonna hate it," Chris smirked.
"Oh, great," Dave muttered.
"Each camper will take turns spinning the bottle. Whoever it lands on will determine your challenge. You can either take on the challenge yourself and earn a bottle to escape elimination… or you can force another camper to do it, hoping they'll fail!" Chris explained.
"Fail?" Dave asked.
"That's right! The first person to chicken out gets sent straight to the Dock of Shame, boards the Boat of Losers, and leaves Total Drama Island… forever! No prize! No hundred thousand dollars!"
To emphasize the stakes, a canoe filled with cash was lowered onto the stage—a clear reminder of what was on the line.
Confessional: Leshawna
"This is literally the worst thing that could happen—instant elimination! That means my alliance with Gwen won't help me tonight."
End Confessional.
"Alright! Who's ready to embarrass themselves first?" Chris asked.
The campers avoided eye contact, each hesitating. None of them were eager to see what their defeated (and possibly bitter) former competitors had planned for them.
After a brief silence, Gwen sighed and stepped up.
Confessional: Chris
"Chef and I made a bet—the first camper to puke owes the other 200 dollars."
End confessional.
"We're all gonna have to do it anyway, so might as well get it over with," Gwen said.
She stood up and spun the wheel, landing on Duncan's challenge.
"Duncan's challenge is… licking a Sasquatch's armpit," Chris announced.
Gwen shuddered. Dave and Leshawna nearly choked.
"Gwen, you can take on the challenge yourself, or challenge one of your competitors to do it! (Hehe!) Either way, someone's licking an armpit!"
"I'm giving my challenge to Dave," Gwen said.
"What?! Seriously, that's disgusting!" Dave protested.
"Sorry, but better you than me," Gwen replied.
"So, Dave, what's your answer?" Chris asked.
"I… I'll do it," Dave said reluctantly.
Dave grimaced as Chef went backstage and returned with a giant cage containing a sleeping Sasquatch.
"For safety reasons, we put the Sasquatch to sleep, so you're good to go," Chris assured him.
Dave saw the Sasquatch's armpit—one of his biggest fears. It smelled horrible, covered in sweat and tangled hair.
"Come on, Dave, just imagine it's ice cream," Chris teased.
"I'm trying to focus," Dave muttered.
"An ice cream cone filled with sweat and hair," Chris added with a smirk.
Dave slowly approached the armpit and, with great hesitation, finally licked it. The moment he did, he collapsed onto the ground, writhing uncontrollably.
Almost everyone there looked nauseous.
"Oh my gosh, that was beyond disgusting!" Chef exclaimed.
"I almost puked! Almost," he added. Chris nodded in agreement.
Confessional: Dave
"That was the worst thing I've ever had to do. Worse than the time I had to clean toilets."
End confessional
"Dave has definitely earned his bottle," Chris said.
"Never… again," Dave groaned.
"Anyway! Who's next?" Chris asked.
"I am," Dave said. He stepped up to the spinner and gave it a whirl. The bottle landed on Sam.
"Sam's challenge is… 'Eat your longest toenail!'" Chris announced.
"Oh, come on, do they have no mercy?" Dave groaned.
"So, Dave, what's your decision? Accept or pass?" Chris asked.
"I'll do it," Dave said.
Chef brought over a chair. Dave took off a shoe, and Chef clipped his longest toenail. Without hesitation, Dave popped it into his mouth and chewed, making everyone gag.
"That was absolutely disgusting, but Dave did it! He earns another bottle," Chris declared.
"It's my turn! No challenge they throw at me will stop me!" Leshawna said confidently.
She spun the wheel, and it landed on Beardo's challenge.
"Beardo's challenge is… 'Drink poison sumac tea!'" Chris read aloud.
"I accept the challenge gladly," Leshawna said.
"I'm impressed, girl! That stuff burns," Chris warned.
"Yeah, I know," Leshawna replied.
"It's your call," Chris shrugged.
Chef brought out a cup of steaming poison sumac tea. To everyone's shock, Leshawna took it and drank it straight down.
"A little spicy, but very refreshing," she said.
"How… is that possible?" Chris asked.
"I'm one of those people who don't get rashes from nettles," Leshawna explained.
"Leshawna wins the challenge! She earns a bottle," Chris announced.
"Alright, Gwen, you're up next!" Chris called.
She stepped up to the spinner and gave it a whirl. The wheel landed on Bridgette.
"Bridgette's challenge is… 'Put ice cubes in your underwear and wait for them to melt!'" Chris read.
"That's it? I should be able to handle that," Gwen said.
Chef brought out a bucket full of ice. Seeing it, Gwen suddenly looked less confident.
Still, she grabbed a handful and stuffed them directly into her underwear.
"This contestant is ice-cold—literally," Chris joked.
"Just give me my bottle," Gwen muttered through chattering teeth.
"I'm next!" Leshawna declared.
She spun the wheel, and it landed on Brick.
"Brick's challenge is… 'Eat a Death Pepper!'" Chris announced.
"Qu est ce que tu entend par piment de la mort ?" a dit Leshawna
"That's the spiciest pepper in the world," Chris said.
"Then I'm giving my challenge to Dave," Leshawna announced.
"Of course…" Dave sighed.
"You can always use your bottle to skip the challenge," Chris reminded him.
"No, I'll do it," Dave declared.
Chef went backstage, retrieved a ghost pepper, and handed it to Dave. The germaphobe wasn't nearly as confident about eating the pepper as he had been about chewing his toenail. He put it in his mouth, chewed as carefully as possible, and swallowed. Instantly, his mouth erupted in the most intense heat he had ever experienced.
"HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT!" Dave screamed. Chef rushed to his aid, handing him a carton of milk. With the milk still in his mouth, Dave walked back to spin the wheel.
He spun the wheel, and it landed on Idris's face.
"That's my friend! He should have a cool challenge," Dave exclaimed.
"Idris's challenge is… 'Smash a piñata full of killer bees!'" Chris announced.
Confessional: Dave
"Seriously, Idris, how much did they pay you to come up with this challenge?"
End confessional
"I'm giving my challenge to Gwen," Dave said.
"Gwen, do you want to take on this challenge or use your bottle?" Chris asked.
"I'm using my bottle. I saw what happened to Idris with the bees—I'm not doing that," Gwen said.
"Then, Dave, you have no choice. You must do it," Chris said.
Chef came out in a beekeeper suit and set up a beehive-shaped piñata. As Dave approached, Chef handed him an aluminum baseball bat. Dave hesitated before raising the bat and swinging at the piñata.
The hole burst open instantly, releasing a swarm of some of the most aggressive bees known to man. Dave let out a high-pitched scream and bolted toward the lake.
"That was hilarious! We'll wait for Dave to come back," Chris chuckled.
Dave managed to escape them, but not without getting stung a few times.
Confessional: Dave
"I'm not in a good spot. If I want to win, I need a plan."
End confessional
"Next up is Leshawna," Chris announced.
She spun the wheel, and it landed on Dawn's face.
"Dawn's challenge is… 'Pet a sleeping bear!'" Chris read aloud.
"That's easy—if it's asleep like the Sasquatch," Leshawna said.
"No, this one is in its cave, naturally asleep," Chris clarified.
"I'll do it," Leshawna decided.
She made her way to the bear's cave.
At first glance, the bear seemed to be in a deep sleep. A simple pet shouldn't wake it up.
She slowly approached and gently stroked the bear's fur. It didn't react at first, but two seconds later, it stirred awake. Leshawna bolted out of the cave, successfully completing her challenge.
"This semi-final is really close! Dave has multiple bottles, Leshawna has two, and Gwen has zero. Let's see if she can win one," Chris announced.
Gwen spun the wheel, and it landed on Leonard.
"Leonard's challenge is… 'Wear his wizard costume until the challenge ends!'" Chris said.
"That's it? I accept," Gwen replied.
She put on Leonard's costume and looked absolutely ridiculous.
"This is so humiliating," Gwen groaned.
"Better this than getting eliminated," Leshawna pointed out.
"This is getting too easy… time to raise the stakes!" Chris said.
"How? The challenges were made by the other contestants," Gwen questioned.
"We had them submit multiple challenges—including impossible ones," Chris smirked.
Confessional: Leshawna
"I've got a plan. Gwen and I each have a bottle, so we'll give Dave the hardest challenges. Eventually, he'll run out of bottles and have to give up on a challenge."
Confessional: Gwen
"Leshawna filled me in on her plan, and I agree with her. Dave may have improved, but there's no way he can handle every challenge."
End confessional
"Dave, you're up," Chris said.
He spun the wheel, and it landed on Sammy.
"Sammy's challenge is… 'Drink juice mixed with toilet water!'" Chris announced.
"I'm giving the challenge to Leshawna," Dave said immediately.
"I'm using a bottle," Leshawna replied.
"Dave, the toilet is waiting," Chris said.
Dave stood before the toilet with Chris and Chef.
Confessional: Chris
"This is next-level disgusting. Even Chef won't escape this one."
End confessional
Chris poured juice into the toilet water and started stirring.
"This is too much… Bon appétit, Dave," Chris said, handing him a straw.
Dave reluctantly started drinking, gagging until he finally vomited. Chris and Chef nearly threw up as well.
"Alright, let's move on. Leshawna, you're up," Chris said.
She spun the wheel, and it landed on Amy.
"What kind of nightmare did that witch cook up for me?" Leshawna muttered.
"Amy's challenge is… 'Get publicly humiliated!'" Chris announced.
The contestants were shocked by the challenge.
"Amy prepared something so humiliating it will haunt you for life. So, Leshawna, what's your choice?" Chris asked.
Leshawna hesitated. She could pass it to Dave, but that would give him an advantage. So, she chose to do it herself.
"I'll accept. It can't be that bad," Leshawna said.
"You'll have to dress like a baby and stand in front of that huge crowd for ten whole seconds," Chris explained.
"I hate you, Amy!" Leshawna snapped.
With her baby costume on, Leshawna walked towards the crowd. It was indeed humiliating, and many people took photos.
"Maybe I can turn this to my advantage," Leshawna said.
She started posing like a star in her baby outfit, and even though it was completely ridiculous, the crowd loved it.
"LESHAWNA! LESHAWNA!" the crowd chanted.
"Looks like Leshawna pulled it off—she walks away with a bottle and some fans," Chris said.
"She impresses me," Dave admitted.
"Me too," Gwen added.
"Alright, now that Leshawna has had her moment, Gwen, it's your turn," Chris announced.
She spun the wheel, and it landed on Scott's face.
"Scott's challenge is… eat dirt," Chris declared.
"That guy seriously has a problem with dirt," Gwen commented.
"Gwen, what's your decision?" Chris asked.
"I'll do it," Gwen replied.
Chef wheeled in a cart carrying a pile of dirt and stopped in front of Gwen.
"Gwen, you have five seconds to eat as much dirt as possible," Chris instructed.
Five seconds might have seemed short, but for Gwen, it felt like an eternity. The dirt had an absolutely disgusting taste, and she couldn't understand how Scott could ever eat it voluntarily. For her, however, it was a nightmare.
"Gwen, time's up," Chris announced.
She was completely done—traumatized, even.
"Poor girl, we don't even know where that dirt came from," Leshawna said.
The challenges continued, set to epic background music. The campers took on the most extreme dares—walking on a tightrope over water filled with sharks, licking Chef's belly button covered in jam, eating dog food, and even consuming a hundred eggs.
"I can't believe no one has given up yet, and Dave has collected over ten bottles," Chris said.
Dave looked proud of himself, though his face showed sheer exhaustion.
"Gwen and Leshawna each have only one bottle, but nothing's decided yet," Chris reminded them.
Confessional: Leshawna
We underestimated Dave way too much. Now, it's impossible for Gwen and me to win together. That means we're going to have to go head-to-head.
Confessional: Dave
Yes! Yes! My plan worked! I wanted to gather as many bottles as possible to pass every challenge, and now I'm sure I'll make it to the finals!
End Confessional
"Leshawna, what do we do now?" Gwen asked.
"I'm sorry, girl. This is my fault. My plan didn't work," Leshawna admitted.
"So… I guess we lost," Gwen sighed.
"One of us did. Now it's every girl for herself," Leshawna said.
"It's a shame it's come to this, but I'm not going to let you win," Gwen said.
"Same here," Leshawna replied.
"Gwen, it's your turn to spin the wheel," Chris announced.
She spun the wheel, and it landed on Rodney's face.
"This one is one of the most extreme yet," Chris teased.
"We've already done some of the worst things ever. What could be worse?" Gwen asked.
"Rodney's challenge is… get back together with your ex," Chris revealed.
"WHAT?!" the campers shouted.
"Wait, wait, wait, Chris. That's impossible! How did this even get approved?" Gwen protested.
"We didn't give them any limits," Chris said with a smirk.
"I'm giving my challenge to Leshawna," Gwen immediately said.
Leshawna instantly reacted.
"I'm using my bottle," Leshawna declared.
The challenge fell back on Gwen.
"I'm using my bottle too," Gwen said.
"Dave, would you like to get back together with your ex?" Chris asked.
"That's going to be tough since I don't have one," Dave replied.
"Then, the challenge falls back on Gwen," Chris said.
"I refuse! I refuse!" Gwen shouted.
"Gwen refused her challenge, which means she's eliminated," Chris announced.
"This is such a lame way to get eliminated," Gwen groaned.
"Hey, Gwen, well played. You were a great competitor," Dave said.
"Thanks, Dave. You're… very normal," Gwen replied.
"Girl, I loved our time on the island together. Our friendship isn't going anywhere," Leshawna said.
"Leshawna, I don't even know how to thank you. I made it this far partly because of you," Gwen admitted.
"These are some really emotional goodbyes, but the Dock of Shame is waiting," Chris interrupted.
Afterward, Gwen was seen on the loser boat, with the other eliminated contestants watching her leave.
"Goodbye, Gwen, and thanks for playing. That leaves only two of you—congratulations!" Chris announced.
Dave and Leshawna celebrated.
"To find out who will win this epic final showdown between our last two competitors, watch the final episode of TOTAL DRAMA… ISLAND!" Chris declared.
End of Chapter 25
Author's Note: That's it for Chapter 25! Honestly, I think the loser of this chapter was pretty obvious, even though I said that past winners could still win. To be honest, even I didn't know Gwen and Leshawna would make it this far. Also, if you're wondering why I didn't make my OC win, it's because that would be too predictable—and besides, there are two more seasons. I'm not saying he's guaranteed to win them, but for those who like him, his story with Chris isn't over yet.
As for Chapter 27, I've decided not to write it in full. Since it's originally a 45-minute episode, I'm worried it might drag on too long. But for the sake of story continuity, I'll write a summary, just like I did for Chapter 17. That's all for now—see you in the final!
My thoughts on Gwen:
Like everyone else, I love Gwen. She's one of my favorite characters, even though I feel like her character got a bit lost over time—but nothing too serious.
