blee7442: Thanks for your support, trust me, there will be many surprises in this story.
LaCuevademisgustos: At least she wants her team to succeed, THAT is something her other self never did. Scott is clearly one of the antagonists, but as he said, he will do his sabotage only if necessary.
WarriorTwin: Thank you
Mason Francis: Seriously, why do these kinds of reviews exist? I know there are users I know "writing" this, they are probably in guest mode. But PLEASE, stop.

"Last time on Total Drama Island..." Chris narrated as scenes from the previous episode were shown, "All three teams participated in our short fishing season, encountering even bigger fish than usual; Beardo proved that he could show his creative work to the world, too bad his bitter teammate Scott made his dreams sink to the bottom, sabotaging him, and thus, Beardo was eliminated."
The shot cut to Chris on the dock, "Who would drown another to get ahead? Find out right now here on Total...Drama...Island!"
(Theme Song plays)
The morning starts with the two teams in the normal cabin, sleeping peacefully, until suddenly they were woken up by a loud female scream.
"The zombies!" Shawn exclaimed alarmed, it was seen that his bed was surrounded by barbed wire that he put there himself, "They're here! And they've taken the first girl they found!"
Some of the Maggosts and Frogs both went outside and walked to the back of the cabin to discover the girl who made that scream. She was one of the interns, Courtney specifically.
"What's going on, miss scream-a-lot?" Jo asked angrily
"It's that weird girl on the floor!" Courtney pointed out and was startled by it, it was Dawn, lying on the floor and completely unconscious, some were also scared.
"They killed Dawn!" Zoey exclaimed in a panic.
"Of course not, she's breathing" Jo told her, feeling Dawn's pulse in her stomach, "But why the hell is she like that?"
"I think we sent her to throw something away" Sky remembered, she walked over to the trash can and took off the lid to see what was inside, and realized why Dawn had passed out. Inside was a pile of dead fish bones, "Ugh, I think a certain team had quite a feast last night"
In the luxurious cabin, there were some of the Rat team who were having breakfast on yesterday's fish, especially Sugar, who burped loudly after eating a whole one
"Twice in a row here and I don't want to leave here anymore!" she said still unsatisfied with her hunger
"True, I've never felt so fancy using cutlery before" Cameron said as he cut a piece of bread, "I guess that's how those famous and important people that was telling Mom about must feel"
"Tell me about it" Jasmine murmured, not so thrilled by the 'fancy' atmosphere, as she put ketchup on her plate.
"Hey, Sugar, would you pass me a bread, please?" Rodney asked her
"Nuh-huh, bookworm, all this little bit left is mine!" The pageant blonde answered, moving the plate of bread away from him
"But you have a lot of them there..."
"Don't worry, Rodney" Ella consoled him, who was next to him, "Take one that I have"
"No, it's not necessary"
"No, I insist..." when she put the bread in his hand, he had that 'loving' vision again, this time looking at the oriental geek girl
Confessional (Rodney):
"Ugh, this is really bad, I have several of them fixated on me!" he said in a worried tone, "In a novel I read, a boy conquered several girls, and when they realized that, they gathered around him and beat him up; I don't want that to happen to me! That's why I plan to go slowly with each of them to clarify everything, maybe I should start with Jasmine, she's the one who's going to feel the least offended, I guess..."
End of the Confessional
"Attention, campers!" Chris spoke from the speakers, "Clean those fish mouths up real good, you'll get dirty again in this challenge today which will be right at the far right of camp very soon; and those interns who like to scream at six in the morning, BACK TO WORK!"
Courtney heard that and growled angrily, "Jerk..."
"Hey, beauty" greeted Scott, who was the only one who had stayed near her
"What do you want and who do you call 'beauty'?" she asked
"Nothing, I just couldn't help but notice how beautiful you are"
"Are you flirting with me?"
"No...can it be? Anyway, I hope we see each other again" he winked her before leaving to the challenge.
Confessional (Scott):
"She really like me..."
Confessional (Courtney):
"I hope he don't really like me"
End of the Confessionals
Soon the three teams met up with Chris, located several meters from the cabins, and apparently, next to it there was a large pigpen full of mud
"Welcome, campers!" said the host to start.
"Ugh, what smells so bad?" asked Sky covering her nose.
"Nothing but the pigpen you have right next to you, we installed it recently for today's challenge"
"Nice, a reminder of my messy life at home" said Anne Maria incredulously
"You're right, Anne Maria, because in this case we'll do an activity that people in your neighborhood will surely love, 'catch the pig'!"
"Yuck, pigs are disgusting!" Zoey moaned.
"Pigs are the best and smartest animals there can be in the countryside" Cameron said, remembering his home with nostalgia.
"True, but this time you won't be catching a pig" Chris said, "But the wilder version of it, the boar!"
"Sus Scrofa are naturally peaceful, so it will be very easy to catch them" Jo said, displaying her biological knowledge.
"Finally a species that shares my philosophy" Dawn said happily.
Chris smiled confidently, "Well, probably the mutant boars can have that, since the three we have are very wild...". At that moment, the Chef moved a giant box with a truck, which had holes to give air to the animals, which were heard grunting, squealing and hitting the box very roughly, which made several of the campers nervous. "This is how the challenge works, two members of each team will enter on the pigpen and try to catch the wild boar that has the colored bow of their assigned team to identify itself; when you manage to immobilize it, take it and put it back inside the box, the first one to put their wild boar in wins; and to clarify, two of its members must be a boy and a girl, because the ladies also need to get their hands dirty"
"That didn't sound very gentlemanly" commented Anne Maria.
"What am I saying? I have very refined social skills... now talk and get started already"
"FIRST of all I want to say something..." Zoey called to her team, "There is no way I am going into that pigpen!"
"We already know you weren't going to do that, Red" Scott mocked
"Seriously, I'm not going to have any contact with that dirty, slimy, disgusting mud with millions of tiny germs scattered everywhere..." the germophobe began to look terrified at the substance which terrified her so much.
"Don't worry, Zoey, you won't get dirty today" Mike told her to comfort and calm her.
"Leave this to Lightning!" said the homonymous boy, "It's time for show how strong and agile I can be"
"Well, Brightning, you'll need a girl as a partner to do it" Jo told him, adjusting her glasses.
"You're right, dude, sorry to tell you this, but I wish you were a girl so we could both participate in the challenge."
Jo glared at him, "You know, I honestly don't want to work with you anyway!"
"Which leaves Anne Maria," Mike said, as he and the others looked at the country girl.
"And why me?" she asked.
"Not to stereotype you, but maybe you know something about these things."
"Ugh, okay, but if you want me to get into that muddy pigsty, you better help me protect my hair...", she handed him a cap that served to cover her hair from the moisture, "And you better not mess anything up."
Meanwhile with the Frogs...
"We need the best roles for this" Sky said to her team, "How about Dakota? She knows a lot about hunting and all that."
"I'd do it cordially if there wasn't any risk of staining my designer clothes" the blonde said, refusing to get dirty, "The fabric I wear doesn't grow on trees."
"I'll do it" Dawn said, raising her hand, "I'd rather act than let someone hurt that innocent boar."
"I'll go with you" Topher said, "I've conquered more beasts than you can imagine."
"Maybe as one of them..." Dave pointed out, to what appeared to be Mike and Zoey trying to get their hands on her. The shower cap on Anne Maria's big fluffy hair was like putting socks on a giant, when soon enough they were on, at least covering the top of her hair
"Well, at least it covers the best part of me" she said adjusting the cap.
"Any part of you will look amazing with whatever you wear" Topher told her, making the country girl blush at his gesture, "I don't know if you mind, but do you have more of those nice hair caps"
"Sure, here!" She gave him one like the one she had
Confessional (Topher):
"I don't like using my 'attractiveness' for my own benefit, but hey, Anne really liked my hair enough for it to be ruined, and she's right..."
End of the Confessional
"Alright, mices" Amy spoke to her team, "That enemy our servant brought could be a great contender, we need to send two volunteers who are just as strong as him."
"How about me, and Jasmine?" Rodney suggested hastily, "I mean, we're both tall enough."
Confessional (Rodney):
"Testing my prowess alongside Jasmine will prove once and for all that I'm alone with her, the other girls will understand, she's not my favorite, but she's the one who supports me the most."
End of the Confessional
"Well, Rodney has a point, so I sign me up," Jasmine replied
"Are you sure, Jasmine?" Sammy asked her, "That pigpen looks really dirty, you don't mind ruining your clothes"
"Not at all, besides, I highly doubt I'll ever get that dirty"
Confessional (Sammy):
"I'm surprised at how flexible Jasmine is with dirt, Amy told me things that girls like her did, like complaining about a broken nail; I don't like disobeying my sister but Jasmine is really brave, and cool, and attractive...", she blushed at the last part, "For the guys, of course"
End of the Confessional
Soon, the two volunteers from each team entered on the pigpen, standing up strongly so as not to slip in the mud
"Alright, Chef" Chris said, "Shake the beasts a little." His right hand obeyed and hit the box where the three boars were inside, they started to get out of control because of the noise, and almost broke the box due to their chaos from within. The volunteers in front were more than a little nervous. "Alright, boar catchers, ready...set...go!"
The Chef immediately lifted the door of the box, and that's when three mutant boars came into view. These were a bit larger than average species, had purple spots, yellow eyes, spikes on the front of the top, and sharper fangs. It seemed that the three were two females and one male, because the females had red and blue bows on it's heads, while the male had a yellow one on it chest.
The six campers inside their territory looked scared as the three wild mutant boar creatures started running towards them.
"Lightning's got this!" he said, standing up, ready to block his boar, when it's large snout sent him flying up and landing hard in the mud.
"Get out of my way, beast" Anne Maria exclaimed, spraying her hairspray at the creature to drive it away, which worked until it bit the can and destroyed it with its teeth. The girl screamed as she looked cornered.
"Don't be so rough with them!" Dawn warned as everyone scattered to catch them, just as hers stood in front of her, "Yeah, that includes you..." The boar approached her menacingly but Topher stepped in the way.
"Woah, calm down, man" he said
"It's a female..."
"Well, lady, you shouldn't act like that, now how about you just, calm down..." he put his hand in front of it and he stood there, staring at it.
Confessional (Topher):
"I live with animals every day, I've learned tricks on how to calm them down"
End of the Confessional
However, his trick wasn't enough, and the boar growled angrier as they both slowly backed away from it. Meanwhile, Rodney stepped in front of his boar making it stop.
"That's it Rodney, I got it!" said Jasmine as she ran to catch it, however, the boar with the yellow bow thought harder and jumped out of her and Rodney's reach. Jasmine tried to stop but because of how slippery the mud was, she slipped and fell on her face, she raised her muddy head and spat out some dirt, then instead of moaning in disgust she simply chuckled at the irony.
Meanwhile, Anne Maria looked cornered by the red-bowed boar, until Lightning grabbed him
"Gotcha!" he said, as the creature became wilder and escaped from the humans, and when it was on the ground, it pelted both him and Anne Maria with mud
"Ah! Ew! Ew!" She moaned as she covered herself to avoid the filth coming at her.
The boar ran away but Lightning grabbed it by the tail, letting herself be dragged along.
"I w-won't let you g-get away from m-me" he said, before they went around a bend, and because of the slippery mud, Lightning broke free and ended up crashing into the fence, getting her head stuck between the wooden bars, "Damn, this can't get any worse!". He soon saw the same boar he grabbed by the tail, glaring at him as it kicked its hooves, "Oh no, you won't...", the boar ran straight at him, putting its sharp tusks out in front
Knowing what was going to happen to him, Lightning quickly tried to pull her head out of the bars. Luckily, he pulled it out just in time to step on the ground and let the boar crash into the fence, getting stuck as well.
"Ha, in your face!"
"Well done, animalist!" Jo told him along with her team who watched outside the pigpen, "Now get it in the box!"
On the other hand, Jasmine tried to catch her team's boar, but it slipped away again and she ended up falling into the mud again. Meanwhile, the two from the Frogs team backed away from the boar that was getting closer to them, until soon one of them stood in front of it.
"Dawn, back off!" Topher warned the pacifist, "This one can smash you alive"
"That's what you think because it looks like it's going to do it," she told him, "But it doesn't really want to do it...". That's how Dawn stroked the animal's head, and this magically made it calmer and more at ease, "See? We don't have to hurt you, now how about you go into the box on your own?"
At that moment, Rodney, launching himself into the air, slid through the mud and luckily grabbed his boar's tail, "Now you won't get away!" he said as he dug his feet into the ground, "Jasmine, I've got it! Grabbing it from the front!"
"Right away..." she said, standing up and running straight towards them. However, the yellow-bowed boar couldn't take it anymore and with great force, it pulled his tail off the librarian, running away. Jasmine stopped again and stumbled again, splashing much harder.
The running boar now looked at the two females that were being taken to the box, fearing that it would be "captured" too. However, it didn't realize that it was heading straight for Topher, and no matter how hard he tried to escape, they ended up colliding. It strength sent the boy flying quite far, until he crashed into the fence and broke it, leaving a gap which the boar took advantage of to escape, trampling Topher in the process.
The other two female boars, seeing it escape, pushed themselves to escape from their "owners" and flee into the forest where the male had escaped.
"The boars are leaving!" Cameron exclaimed.
Chris laughed hysterically, "Did you expect that outcome, dude?" she said to the Chef
He whispered very worriedly, "We were supposed to have a contract with their owners not to let them lose..."
"Oh... well, okay," he addressed the competitors, "Attention, teams! Due to the... outcome of things, we have expanded the challenge, now everyone can catch their boar in the forest, and you must bring it here and put it in the box first if you want to win."
Some of those who participated in the first part left the pigpen, Anne Maria was disgusted to see her shirt and pants stained with mud, but not so much when she took off her cap and looked up. "My hair did suffer damage, this thing is a piece of crap" she said angrily seeing it dirty, throwing the cap on the ground and retreating to the bathrooms, "I'll go take a shower, and don't expect me to help you with that"
"Lightning too!" said the athlete mate following her, "But I WILL return to have to catch that pig..."
"How do we catch something that likes to get dirty and smell bad?" Zoey asked incredulously
Jo thought about what he said, "Smell bad... THAT'S IT!" She snapped her fingers in a sign that she had an idea, "Everyone bring the stinkiest thing you have, I'm going to 'cook' something special..."
Rodney walked out of the pigpen, covered in some mud, "I'm going to get cleaned up..." he said to his team in a sad tone
"Where is Jasmine?" Amy asked, as she and her sister approached the pigpen and saw her there, totally covered in mud, and happy. She for some reason was happily rolling around in the filth, "Hey, princess, mud is an obstacle, not a spa!"
"Oh, sorry..." she giggled, a little embarrassed, "It's just that mud feels so soft and cool, it must be good for my skin..."
Confessional (Cameron):
"It's actually pig mud, which in theory has no preservative properties and the only thing that awaits Jasmine is acne... what? I live on a farm, but I know a thing or two."
End of the Confessional
"You look really messy," Sammy said as he watched Jasmine come out of there, all dirty and dripping mud, "Wouldn't you like to take a bath?"
"Nonsense, I don't think a little dirt is such a big deal," said the Aussie, shrugging her shoulders, happy with being a muddy girl.
"Hey, girls, we should think about how we're going to attract that boar..." Cameron told them, reminding them of the new challenge.
"Oh, I think I know what Mr. Boar might like..." Ella suggested.
Dawn walked over to her team, small mud stains on the bottom of her petticoat, "Sorry for letting it get away, guys," she apologized, "But please, let's not be hard on that poor creature."
"You mean wild and uncontrollable creature," Dakota said before smiling, "I have some traps stored away that will surely help us."
"But..."
"We have to win a challenge, Dawn," Scarlett told her.
Brick nodded, "Right, we should go for a slightly harsher method." Dawn looked down sadly, unable to change their minds.
"One question..." Sky said, "What about Topher?" she pointed at the country boy, who was still lying on the ground and quite dazed..
"We should take him to the infirmary..."
"And they will...right after these commercials..." Chris said, standing in front of the camera in the middle of them, leaving them very confused.
(Commercial Break)
We went straight into the Mess Hall kitchen where Jo was stirring a slow-cooking pot. She then stopped when she turned to see Mike, Zoey, Shawn and Scott arriving with stuff in their hands, well, everyone except Zoey
"So, what do you have for me?" the genius asked rather intrigued.
"I have my lucky socks" Mike said, showing a pile of smelly socks in his hands, "I've had them ever since Svet... I mean, me, started running every morning." Zoey covered her nose as she sniffed what he was carrying.
"Eugh!" she moaned in disgust.
"I brought a lot of trash from the dumpsters" Shawn said holding up a black plastic bag, "According to what I read, 'if the bad smell camouflages your existence, the zombies will never come near your fortress'." Zoey's cheeks puffed out in disgust upon hearing that..
"I have latte" Scott said, holding up a paper cup, "I'm saving it for a joke."
"What's so 'joker' about that?" Jo asked incredulously.
"It's with six years old expired milk."
Zoey couldn't take it anymore and immediately went outside, the four of them could hear her puking up.
"Some people can't stand naturally disgusting things," Jo mocked before turning the pot on high, "Alright, throw all that crap in the pot, according to my chemistry data, this will make it make the most..."
"Heavenly substance in history!" Ella spoke from the living room in the luxurious cabin, her other teammates in front of her. Apparently, she was standing next to a table that had three bottles of blue, green, and pink, "I got these three perfumes at a fragrance fair near my town. There's the blueberry one, with a scent as sweet as the fruit itself."
Her teamates showed their amazement at her possession, except for Sugar, who crossed her arms, upset and jealous at the same time.
"That sounds fantastic!" said Jasmine, still muddy, approaching the table, "I want to try..." but just as she grabbed the blue bottle, it slipped through her muddy hands, crashing on the floor and breaking into pieces, "Oh, I'm so sorry!"
"Don't worry, it was on cheap sale..." She turned to the two remaining bottles, "There's also the mint green one, which is fresh with mint and eucalyptus."
"Eucalyptus?" Jasmine excitedly grabbed it, but it slipped again and broke on the floor, "Oops..."
"Well, we still have the pink cake one, which as you can imagine, smells like cake..." Just as Jasmine went to grab it, Ella snatched it away, looking at her worriedly, "This better be in my hands, thanks."
"Okay, geekette, how do you know that'll attract that dirty, stinky boar?" Amy asked incredulously
"Easy, no one can resist the smell of cake!"
"Except me," Cameron raised his hand, "I'm lactose intolerant...or is that what they say here?"
"Yeah, that's right, country boy," Amy said, "Now let's get out there and capture our target..."
We passed into the woods, where Dakota finished setting up several bear traps along the way, she wiped her gloves off as the rest of her team watched her.
"This is how we're going to catch that filthy fugitive" she said elegantly, "These fancy metal traps that are owned by my family will immobilize it the moment it touches them."
"Would you please stop mentioning your luxuries?" Dave asked incredulously
"Trust me, details are necessary..."
"Those traps look pretty sharp" Dawn pointed at the traps on the ground, looking worried, "Will they hurt the boar?"
"Obviously, but will only 'immobilize' it so we can catch it" the heiress explained without much concern, "Maybe Chris will let us roast it to share for dinner, huh?". Dawn gasped petrified
"What does a boar taste like?" Sam asked curiously.
"You'll know when we win, now hide!" Both Dakota and the others went into the bushes, except Dawn who stood there until Brick came
"Dakota was just joking about cooking it" he said to comfort her, "Now come..."
Then we went to another side of the woods, where Ella placed her perfume on the ground, without first uncovering it to release its sweet aroma, then sneaked into the bushes like the rest of her team.
"Now we'll just wait until that wild creature comes for some cake..." she said silently
About two hours passed, and so far no team had found any signs of their boars, the first to get fed up was the Frogs
"I have to pee" Max said quietly, in the middle of the bushes like the others, "When is that damn pig going to show up?"
Dakota peeked out and noticed something on the traps set up on it, "Of course!" he patted his own head, "I didn't put any kind of bait"
"What kind of bait could it be?" asked Brick
Sam searched his backpack and pulled out a bag of chips, "Extra BBQ Chips", he walked out of the bush and walked while trying to open the bag, "I just need to open this problematic wrapper...". Unknowingly, he walked into one of the traps.
"Sam, stop!" Sky warned him but it was too late, everyone flinched at the sound of the metal crash, and Sam tried his best not to scream or cry, but his face showed he wanted to.
"Oh my!" Dawn ran over to him to remove the trap stuck in his feet, "Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?"
"I think it's obvious that..." Dave said, earning glances from some.
"Dakota, realize what your ambition did to poor Sam!"
"Me? It's not my fault!" The heiress protested, "He was the one who stepped on the trap"
"But they're your traps," Brick told her, "Ones so sharp that they're dangerous for people of your age."
Dawn helped Sam up, who was still in pain, "I'll take Sam to the infirmary, and you guys, please, avoid anything else like that."
"And we will..." Brick went to remove the first trap while Daota watched the two leave, anger and guilt running through her veins.
Meanwhile, the Rats were still waiting in the bushes, some even fell asleep or started doing things in silence, until Cameron peeked out and saw the boar approaching the fragrance bottle from a hole in the bush.
"Guys, the boar is over there," he said quietly to the others. Ella also peeked through the gap to see the boar sniffing her perfume...only to then growl in disgust and kick it, spilling all of it liquid.
"No, it was limited edition!" Ella exclaimed, until she was silenced by Amy who covered her mouth.
"Did he see us?" The blonde asked Cameron, who peeked out to see the boar, scraping its hooves and staring at where they were.
"Yes, he did..." he gulped, before he and the others ran in panic, trying to avoid the boar that was going after them, but as everyone scattered, the creature had a hard time catching them.
We go back to the remaining Frogs, who were uninstalling all the bear traps Dakota had set up, and she reluctantly did as well
"Dakota, you should apologize to Sam later" Sky told her
"But I didn't do anything to him, he was the one who screwed up"
"Still, you should be more empathetic to him, don't make him think rich people are evil"
"I'm not evil!"
"Well, you come from a family that hunts animals" Dave said, "I wouldn't call that being a saint"
"And what's wrong with my family?"
"Nothing... I just wonder why your father lets you use this kind of stuff, especially knowing what happened to Sam."
"I said that is NOT MY fault!" the blonde, already mad, threw one of the metal traps straight into a bush, where a small sound was heard inside it.
"Miss..." said Brick, surprised and angry at her tantrum.
"What? It's just a stupid bush...". At that moment the bush shook until nothing more and nothing less than the boar they were looking for came out of there, with its head hit and growling savagely, the whole team screamed scared before starting to run.
Meanwhile, in the communal bathrooms, Rodney, now a little cleaner, was wetting his face before looking at himself in the bathroom mirror, with a somewhat embarrassed look.
"It's really hard to go for one at a time" he said to himself, "I don't know if I can stop them all from jumping on me...what can I do?!". Then, he slapped himself and looked at himself in the mirror again, now with a serious look, "Listen, Rodney, you didn't get the internship position just because it came to you like that, you're going to talk to Jasmine once and for all about how you feel about her, and if not, you will never talk to her!"
Then in the middle of the woods, in a tall tree was the Maggots team, positioned on several branches of that tree, Jo and Lightning were close to each other, holding the pot full of something very smelly
"How much longer are we going to wait?" Lightning asked tiredly, "My arms are about to sha-fall asleep."
"Silence, Brightning," Jo told him, "We have to wait for a sign of that sneaky thing..."
"I saw it," Shawn pointed down, "It's about to come out of that bush!". Nearby were some large bushes that were beginning to shake.
"NOW!" Both Jo and Lightning poured the contents of the pot directly at what was about to come out of the bushes...and it was none other than Jasmine, who couldn't move any further when the green and smelly substance soaked her completely, making her slip straight to the ground, coughing
"Yikes...it wasn't it" Lightning said, looking surprised at the girl below.
"Oh...gosh, I hope she didn't see me," Shawn said worriedly, "I better get out of here!" he quickly moved up the tree to disappear from sight.
Meanwhile, from the Rats team, only the twins and Ella remained in the middle of the woods,
"You think it's gone?" asked Sammy
"No, but I bet the rest of the cowards are" answered Amy, just before covering her nose in disgust, "UGH, what's that smell?". At that moment Jasmine appeared, totally muddy and totally stinky, "Where the hell did you get into?! In a manure dump?"
"I don't know, I just feel dizzy..." answered the Aussie, grabbing her head.
"Oh my..." said Sammy in a low voice before pointing at her, "It's the boar..."
Jasmine looked down, and surprised, noticed that the boar with the yellow bow was sniffing her, in a friendly way.
"I think he's interested in my stench..."
"Oh, exactly!" Ella said snapping her fingers, "It attracts the bad stench...not the sweet stench"
"I noticed" Amy said looking at her for a moment before pulling out a leash, "Now that we have it under control, it's time to make it ours..."
Then we moved to the Frogs team, who continued to run away from the blue bowed boar, they were ahead of him, before Sky who was behind tripped on a rock and fell face first into a large mud puddle. The theather student lifted her face, groaning, looking at how dirty she had become.
"Oh, ewww..." she said sitting in the puddle, shaking her hands that were dripping with grime, "I'm covered in mud"
"Sky, beware!" Brick warned when he and the others stopped to face her, "It's...behind you"
Sky turned slowly and froze when she saw the boar a few centimeters away from her. It started to sniff her and stare at her, the girl closed her eyes, expecting the worst, until suddenly the boar then growled and walked away, leaving her and the others confused.
"Wait...it didn't do anything to me" she said, standing upñ
"I thought it would mash you before, but look at it..." Brick said, watching the boar running around, "It's like it doesn't see us as enemies anymore"
Sky soon noticed how brown she was from how dirty she was and then an idea came to her mind, "That's it! It won't hurt us if we camouflage ourselves a little like it"
"Are you saying...that we should cover ourselves in mud like pigs?" Dave asked incredulously.
"Exactly..." she grabbed some mud and smeared it on herself, "Now start getting into character!"
"Sky's right," Brick said before heading over to the puddle as well, "Everyone, get down and dirty!"
"Pfft, yeah right" Max said, crossing his arms, "There's no way I'm going to look like a fool doing...". Scarlett pushed him into the mud, and pretty soon she and the others started covering themselves in mud on purpose, well, almost everyone.
"Dakota, you have do it too!" Sky told to the heiress, who didn't look convinced.
"Nuh-huh, of course not!" she denied, backing away, "You're not going to make me dirty my expensive suit just to...". She suddenly turned around to see the boar growling ferociously at her, looking spiteful for the blow she gave him with the trap, "Ok, maybe I will..."
However, everyone else could see Dakota being pushed towards the animal and colliding with a tree, landing on a sitting position in the mud.
"And that's why you should follow your team..." Brick told him as if giving her a "moral lesson", before he and the others helped her get covered in mud like them, despite her pleas.
We then see the four members of the Rats who had found their boar, now it was on a leash held by Amy, who struggled when the animal tried to run away.
"This pig doesn't want to follow orders" she said, "I needs some help!"
"I'd love to help you, Amy, but my meditation session starts right now" Ella explained, looking at her watch, "Believe me, you don't want to miss any of your routines that your family imposes, still, good luck!", she left.
"I can help you, Sheila" Jasmine told her
"Negative, you better go take a shower, you literally SUCK!"
"It's not that bad..." she sniffed her own hand and made a face of utter disgust, "Okay, it's that bad!"
"Come on, Jasmine, I'll help you with that" Sammy told her, before helping her walk back to the cabins.
"Hey, come back here!" Amy exclaimed, "Isn't anyone going to help me?"
"Amy!" Rodney said as he came up to her, looking a bit tired, "Where's Jasmine? I have to talk to her now!"
"Slow down, giant, I need to talk to that actress first, while you, I need you to take this grossy straight to the pigpen" the blonde handed the leash to the redhead, "We need to win, and you're the only one who can do it"
"Wait, but I wanted to..."
"And don't screw up!" She snapped at him before walking away, leaving Rodney alone, holding the boar.
He sighed, "Not today, come on, buddy, let's go..."
The scene cut to the Maggot team's red-bowed boar, peacefully eating some grass like a sheep, just before Lightning and Scott pounced on it, trying to restrain it and trying to put some sort of leash on it. After several pushes, they finally tied the animal up, and held the leash so it wouldn't get away
"Well done" Jo told them as she and the others approached, "I guess it wasn't as hard as I thought"
"This sha-animal is very slippery!" Lightning said as she did her best to keep it from slipping out of her hands, "It's very hard to hold it"
"Let me give that task to someone else..." the blonde took off the leash and handed it directly to Zoey
"But why me?" she asked, holding the leash tightly
"You're the only one who hasn't done anything to help us so far" she explained as she tied the rope of the leash to one of her hands to prevent it from escaping, "Besides, you don't have to do anything else besides take tusks to the pigpen"
Then we moved on to the rest of the Frogs, totally muddy but already with their blue bow-tie boar tied to a leash, held by Dakota, who no longer looked as fancy as before.
"This little one is not going to escape from us anymore" she said as she glanced at her dirty clothes, "I hope that bath in that nice cabin is worth it"
"No pressure, miss" Brick told her, "We just have to take the noble pig straight to it home, what bad could happen?"
Meanwhile, Rodney was leading the yellow-bowed boar on a leash
"I'm really surprised you're the only male here," Rodney spoke to the animal, "Don't you find your female friends attractive?" He was suddenly surprised to see the animal stop and cower in fear, "Wait, why are you scared? ...Are they chasing you?" The boar nodded, "Oh well...I mean, it would be a bit of a problem if all the girls noticed you and you were afraid they would end up on top of you, and now I'm leading you to hang out with them, right?"
Confessional (Rodney):
"I know it's a little strange, but... I empathized more with that boar than with any other human being in my life."
End of the Confessional
"Well, I'm not going to let anyone else go through the same thing I did, so..." the redhead unbuckled the leash holding the boar, "Be free, noble beast of nature!"
The male boar, now free, began to run through the woods, squealing in joy. However, its sounds were heard from afar, the female boar of the Frog team heard it and began to run towards it.
"NO, wait!" Sky exclaimed before the leash slipped out of Dakota's hands.
Meanwhile, the boar of the Maggot team also heard the male and began to chase him. Zoey held on tight but ended up being dragged along with the animal, screaming face down on the ground, apparently covered in mud.
In the pigpen, Amy and B were the only ones waiting for something from someone, apart from Chris, when at that moment the male boar ran up.
"There's our boar!" Amy pointed at the animal who had noticed that the other two females of its species were approaching it (including Zoey). The male then ran straight to the pigpen and just before entering the box, it jumped and landed on the roof, while the two females, piling up on each other, couldn't jump and ended up trapped inside the box, while Zoey was left lying face down in the mud.
At that point Rodney appeared near the area, and smiled when he saw the boar on the roof, "Well done, buddy!" he gave it a thumbs up before it left, however, someone was not happy with this.
"What the hell did you do, thickhead?!" Amy scolded him strongly, "You had just one mission! ONE!"
"Right, I clearly said YOUR boar was to go in, not escape" Chris said, "Although I see that both females from team Maggot and Frog went in, it seems that Zoey got too attached to hers, so, I say that the Maggots won this time..."
Zoey took off the leash tied to her hand to stand up, then looked at herself, she was shocked to see all the slimy substance covering her from head to toe, it was then that her germophobia was activated in her entire being.
"AHHHHHHHH!" she squealed loudly, trying not to slip, "I'm covered in mud! Oh, I'm covered in who knows how many bacteria, oh, I need sanitazier right now! And a lot of...". Mike arrived and the first thing he did was grab her hands.
"Woah, calm down! Calm down!" he said to her, "Remember, take a deep breath...". Zoey hyperventilated and hyperventilated until she soon stopped, though she still wasn't calm.
"I need a bath, NOW!"
"Calm down, I'll take you with the Ms. Soap right now..." the Olympian helped the redhead head to the luxurious cabin. Soon the Frogs arrived there, realizing that they had lost.
"Ugh, damn it!" Dakota moaned all annoyed, "I'm muddy and we didn't win anything!"
"I wouldn't put it like that" Chris said, "You guys still have your whole team, for now, Rats, I'll see you tonight at the ceremony". B snapped his fingers in disappointment, Amy groaned in annoyance and Rodney hung his head in shame.
Later, inside the luxurious winners' cabin, Zoey finally emerged from the bathroom, wearing a red towel, sighing in relief at having washed off all the dirt she had accumulated in the challenge.
"It took you longer than me, red" Anne Maria told her incredulously, sitting on the couch in the living room.
"I really needed to be sanitazed" she replied, "I'm glad we won this cabin, I can't imagine the others having to wait for a shower..."
And that was basically it, outside the communal bathrooms, a long line was formed, mainly by the members of the Frogs who had purposely gotten themselves muddy. At that moment Dawn and Topher appeared, already conscious, who were helping Sam to move who still couldn't walk with his injured feet.
"What happened to you, guys?" The still tired tourist asked his fellow teammates.
"Sky's clumsy plan didn't work and now we're out here in the freezing cold," Dave replied, annoyed and almost shivering.
"Hey, at least it's good for the skin, right?" Sky suggested, putting a silver lining to their muddy situation.
"Who's in there?" Topher asked, hearing water running from inside the bathroom.
"Dakota's been in there for fifteen minutes and she still hasn't come out," Brick replied.
"What did you expect?" Dave said, "That's how city girls are, they and dirt don't mix."
Meanwhile, just behind the communal bathrooms was Sammy, who was brushing the hair with soap to none other than Jasmine, who was inside a large tub.
"How come you and dirt get along so well?" asked the blonde.
"Well, when you are prived of many things when you're child, sometimes you want to experience them now" answered the Aussie girl
"Doesn't it bother you to be dirty?"
"Sammy, life is something unique, enjoying it without worrying about those little things is the best thing you can do; I prefer to cover myself in mud again than try to fall in love with a guy"
"A guy, huh?"
She chuckled, "Yeah, don't you like some of the guys here?"
Sammy looked around nervously, "Um...no, I'm not attracted to any guy"
"Well, it's better to wait than to rush it, Sheila...however, I'll have to change clothes right now, anyway, thanks for the help."
And so Jasmine stood up from the tub and quickly grabbed the towels to cover herself and go out to find new clothes, only to leave Sammy completely blushing and blank.
Confessional (Sammy):
The blonde military female slapped herself, "Calm down, Sammy, you shouldn't have seen that! Jasmine is just cool and all, and also attractive, cute, funny, adventurous, brave and...". She gasped loudly before sighing, looking at herself in embarrassment, "I admit it, I like girls, and right now I like Jasmine...God, what will Amy think about this?"
End of the Confessional
Night had fallen and the Toxic Rats had attended the elimination ceremony, everyone was sitting in front of the bonfire, already clean and everything, especially Jasmine, who due to the permanent stains of mud and the stinky substance that she covered herself in today, had to change her clothes. Now the dark-skinned Australian was wearing a navy blue dress with a fluffy petticoat that reached her ankles, and her hair was now tied up in a bun of the same color.
"Welcome back, Rats!" Chris greeted the newly defeated, "Back here, huh? You'd have gotten out of here soon enough, but now, let's get to the reasons why some of you may be here for the last night..."
"Rodney, you let your team down by purposely letting the boar get away" Chef spoke, "And Jasmine, you spent more time getting dirty than helping your team"
"Excellent candidates for the boot, since you're exactly that" Chris spoke as he gave marshmallows to everyone except the two mentioned, "One of you will be going home for your actions, and that person will be..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Rodney!"
Jasmine got her marshmallow as Rodney sighed in defeat.
"I deserve it" he said
"It's not true, you're a great guy" Jasmine consoled him
"NO, it's not!" the redhead stood up in front of everyone, "Before I say goodbye, I want to say something to certain girls, Jasmine, Amy, Ella". The three mentioned looked at each other confused, "I know you girls notice me a lot, and I appreciate it, but not good with all of you at once, I need to find love for myself, so, if you want, we can continue being friends, if not, I understand, Rodney Williams out..."
He left, leaving the three much more confused than before.
"What was he talking about?" Ella asked.
"I don't know, and it's better if I don't know" Amy said.
Final Comments (Rodney):
"I was really hoping to stay a little longer to explore the outdoors, but eventually things happen that force you to leave, my head librarian warned me about that, maybe I should talk to her to find out how it feels to be with a real female" Rodney said as he finally set sail on the Boat of Losers, "Maybe next summer I should take a vacation to other continents, how about Russia? It's a little harsh but I've heard the girls are gorgeous, probably..."

And so it was, a slightly longer episode than the previous two, more because of the amount of words. Obviously this can't be a long-running fanfic of mine if it doesn't have at least some W.A.M (not a fetish)
Jasmine has shown that despite being an actress (recognized only in her mother country) she is someone who wouldn't mind getting her hands dirty, and yes, Sammy likes her...more than a friend. Speaking of love, there was also a little interaction between Scott and Courtney for their fans ;)
Rodney was obviously on the list to be early booted, even if his label is different (I know someone won't like it). But at least I was able to use something about the boars to justify his elimination.
Ok, I'll tell you something...THIS is the end of the chapters that were listed before the first one was published, and seeing that I haven't been able to advance much of the next one yet, you better forget that it comes out next week. It won't be that long of a wait (I'll be going to night classes this year) but I'll probably post the next episode out when I have the other four ready, and it will also be on a Wednesday
Still, this will be the next episode, the three teams will be very protective of their chest from the others, and they will have to fight back, because as they say "who LAUGHS last, LAUGHS best"
See you next time :3
