Responding to Reviews:
Dunsparce519: Unfortunately there are some characters who were not born to last long. I don't know if you read correctly, but Dakota "forgave" him more out of convenience than pleasure.
LaCuevademisgustos: I don't think Amy deserves hate just for following family traditions, at least there's a reason. B was really sabotaged, just not by someone on the same team. Thanks for valure that, they may have been recycled but I want them to feel fresh.
For the others reading this, don't be fraid to send a review, it helps so much.
Remaining Contestants:
Mutant Maggots: Anne Maria, Jo, Lightning, Mike, Scott, Shawn, Zoey
Poison Frogs: Brick, Dakota, Dave, Dawn, Max, Sam, Scarlett, Sky, Topher
Toxic Rats: Amy, Cameron, Ella, Jasmine, Sammy, Sugar
"Last time on Total Drama Island..." Chris narrated as scenes from the previous episode were shown, "The teams had a fierce paintball showdown, where it was shown who laughed better or worse, Sky proved that her acting skills were worth something, giving the first victory to the Poison Frogs. And the Toxic Rats lose thanks to Scott's sabotage attack, where their victim was B, proving that it's a terrible idea to enter a reality show without basic social skills like speaking."
The scene showed Chris, on top of a cliff, "Who will be the victims of the scorned intern?" he asked the camera, "Find out here and now in a new episode of Total...Drama...Island!"
(Theme Song plays)
During the dawn, inside the luxurious cabin, Dave walked down the stairs, yawning, he went straight to the kitchen to grab something from the freeze. However he didn't notice anything there, frowning, he walked into the living room and glared at the two persons sitting there, sleeping.
It was none other than Sky and Sam, the former for some reason inside a large pile of empty wrappers. Dave turned off the TV that was on, and snapped his fingers to wake the two up.
"It's over?" Sam asked confused, Sky yawned deeply
"Did you really spend the whole night watching generic movies?" Dave asked, crossing his arms.
"We only had one night, and they're not generic, they were very funny."
"Yeah, and those movies have good performances by famous people," Sky said, brushing some crumbs off her mouth, "I want to be as good as them, so I have to study their methods."
Dave rolls his eyes, "I would have preferred to get into something a little more...artistic."
"But artistic doesn't leave you laughing out loud" Sam said.
"I think I know what that noise was that kept me awake"
Just then, Scarlett walked in and was disgusted by all the trash on the ground, "Gosh, Sam!" she scolded him, "Don't make the place look like a pigsty!"
"I swear it wasn't me!" He told her, somewhat frightened by her anger, "I just ate a couple of chocolate bars and fell asleep."
"It was me, I really have an appetite for candies" Sky said, somewhat embarrassed, "I guess it was because our acting teacher forbade us from gaining or losing weight during plays."
"She has a good point," Scarlett said, arms crossed, "Ultra-processed, high-sugar food is very bad for your body."
"Come on, it was just candies and snacs...". Just then, Sky stood up from the pile of wrappers, revealing her...big belly, she looked at it and made a nervous face, "Uh oh..."
"As I expected, your metabolism is so high that all that candies make you gaining so many pounds"
"I guess you can't play any princess role anymore" Dave said a little mockingly.
"Shut up" Sky said angrily, still she couldn't stop looking at her new prominent belly.
"I don't think being overweight is so bad" Sam said, with the solution of making Sky feel better
"Obviously it's bad, Sam, it's called OVERweight!" Scarlett indicated, "And you and Sky should get in shape"
"That's right" Sky said, "I better lose some pounds before..."
"Good morning, campers!" spoke what seemed to be a woman, "Report to the middle of the forest in five minutes, over and out!"
Dave frowned, "Isn't that Chris?", he looked at the others, just as confused as him.
Soon the competitors had gathered in the middle of the forest clearing, where they found themselves in front of a stage, with a very high catwalk installed with a mud field below.
"Now what nonsense has McLean come up with?" Scott asked incredulously.
"You mean, O'Hallorran?" the same female voice spoke, only this time she introduced herself coming down from the stage, she was an adult woman with blonde hair, wearing a red formal dress and high heels. She looked at the competitors with a diva look, "Greetings competitors!"
"And who are you?"
"I am..." she frowned and turned to him, "Who am I? Don't you know who I am? I'm Blaineley Stacey Andrews O'Halloran, the main host of celebrity hunt, I won a Gemmy award, it's impossible for anyone to know even the slightest bit about a renowned actress."
"I understand that..." Jasmine said.
"Please, girl, talk about it when people recognize you", the Aussie frowned
"And why are you here?" Jo asked, "Wasn't McLean running the show?"
"Chris and his partner Chef gave me the opportunity to lead today's challenge while they enjoy the rich man's favorite sport."
Chris and Chef are shown spontaneously on a golf course, playing exactly that
"Aren't you supposed to hate golf?" Chef asked
"Did you want to have your day off?" Chris said, about to hit a ball
"Good point..."
Back on Wawanawa Island...
"Now, since I'm a woman, it's a good point to give this challenge a 'feminine' twist?" Blaineley said
"What do you mean by that?" Lightning asked sideways
"Let me put it easier for you, today's challenge, male competitors will NOT be participating."
All the boys' eyes widened, "Does that mean we have the day off?" Scott asked
"Of course, all the males, including the interns."
"Wait, what?!" protested Courtney who was with her fellow interns fixing part of the stage, "That's not fair!"
"You heard her, girls" said Duncan somewhat mockingly, dropping a board, "Have fun!". He, Owen and Ezekiel, as well as the rest of the boys immediately left the place.
"Ugh, totally unmanly!" groaned Courtney in frustration.
"Don't worry, girls," Blainley said as she strutted around, "Today's challenge is very much dedicated to you, 'cause each will prepare individually for a beauty pageant!"
Confessional (Jo):
"I don't know what this lady thinks? But not all girls are interested in those pageants orchestrated by superficialism" she said angrily, "I mean, they even give scholarships to empty-headed women just for putting makeup on their faces and wearing fancy clothes, I won't be one of those gals"
Confessional (Sugar):
"It's obvious that this challenge was created just for me" she said as she checked herself in a mirror, "I mean, what other lady has several Miss Jersey trophies? I just have to be myself and they'll give me whatever they have on a silver platter."
End of the Confessionals
"Beauty pageant?" Sky said, looking at her big belly, "Oh, with this look, they wouldn't even let me participate in a casting audition"
"Be proud of your new self" Sugar told her, "Don't let others force you to leave Body Positive"
"Body Positive is not about that!" Scarlett corrected her
"So, you're discriminating against me and Sky for being who we are" Sugar grabbed Sky by the shoulder, to her discomfort.
"NO, I'm saying that..."
"Calm down, girls" Blaineley told them to avoid conflict, "Even if the... carbodifrates shaped your body, in this contest you will be accepted as you are, since you only need to go through phases that don't require body standards"
"Oh, this will be so fun, Sugar!" Ella told her, "Imagine if one of us wins"
"One of us?" She said, looking at her with a frown.
"Yeah, I've never won a crown, but I'm sure if I win, it'll feel really good, don't you think?"
Confessional (Sugar):
The blonde looked at herself in the mirror before smashing it with the wall, "Nuh-huh, this is my game, I treat my competition like mosquitoes, if they try to do anything to me, I smash them!"
End of the Confessional
Later, Dave entered the winners' cabin again and cleaned up the living room couch a bit, before sitting down and taking out a sketchbook
"Since I don't have to participate today, I'll have time to work on my pending designs..." he said, taking out a pencil and tracing on a page where there were several Indian designer clothes already made
"Do you like to draw clothes?" Cameron spoke to him, standing behind the couch. Dave yelled in surprise when he saw him literally close to him.
"Get out of here!"
"But if I was invited onto this property wouldn't it be in bad taste to kick me out afterwards?"
"Invite you? Who?" Dave walked to the entrance and noticed Sam letting in other guys from the other teams, some of them carrying confiscated snacks or other items, "What the heck are you doing, Sam?!"
"I've always wanted to have a community party, but the RV is always moving," he explained, "So now that we have the cabin to ourselves, I decided it was a good idea to have a boys' night with everyone, or rather boys' day."
"Ugh, you can't make these decisions for everyone, I'm not in favor of it!" Dave angrily blocked the entrance to the next guy, who was Lightning, "Stop, no one who isn't on my team can come in!"
"This is your house?" Lightning asked indulgently
"Uh, no, but..."
"Then get out of my way!" he pushed him into the corner, "Lightning is going to host a round of 'Drawing' and no one is going to interrupt him."
Confessional (Dave):
"It's not that I don't like to socialize, but the things I do are 'private' that they can't understand."
End of the Confessional
Then we went backstage to the set up, all the girls from the competition were there, looking at all the costume and makeup equipment.
"Oh my god!" Anne Maria pushed Zoey excitedly just to look at all the wardrobe, "I must be in those cute stores for ladies that daddy talked about!"
"Yuck, not something a little more 'less faminine'?" Jo said disgusted looking at a bunch of dresses and pink colors.
"You're a girl, Jo, you're feminine anyway" Zoey told her
"And that makes me force myself to wear this garbage?"
"Save the wardrobe for later, girls!" Blaineley spoke from outside with a megaphone so they could hear her, "You're just young, to become real women you must go through the following steps; the first of them is 'balance'". Sky looked in a box at a pile of high heels like hers, "If you're going somewhere special, you must look special, and for that you must master the special; you will walk those heels down the catwalk, and if you manage to get out without falling into the mud of disgrace, you will move on to the next phase"
"These spikes can poke someone's eye out, don't you think?" Sammy said looking at the tip of the heels.
"Don't be intimidated by elegance, sis" Amy told her, grabbing a pair of heels, "It's like an obstacle course, we were trained to look balanced, unlike the theater girl."
"Hey, don't judge me for my belly!" Sky exclaimed a little offended, "I don't even know how this happened to me."
"Your metabolism is too sensitive, huh?" Jo said walking around her, "That happens to wannabe barbies like you, avoiding weight gain will just make you gain more weight when you get carried away"
"And that's why I don't eat any of that crap" Scarlett said firmly
"Anyway, as long as you don't digest any of it and do some physical exertion, all that stuffing will come off of you"
"I can't eat much of anything for the rest of the day? You've got to be kidding me!" Sky complained, exhaling in frustration before watching her belly swell further, "Wait, the air too counts?!"
Confessional (Jasmine):
"I'm glad I don't have the same eating standards as Sky" she admitted, "Hey, I feel bad for her too, unfortunately in the world of entertainment what defines you is your appearance"
Confessional (Sugar):
"A lot of stupid girls will think that because they're 'thin', like almost 90% of people here, they think they're going to win" she explained, then laughed maliciously, "They should know that I didn't just won those contests thanks to my talent...", then she took out a heel and began to cut one of the tips with a saw.
End of the Confessionals
"Ok, girls, let's show what we are made of!" said Anne Maria putting on her heels and heading to the front of the stage
"The show begins, Team Maggots go first!" Blaineley said, before turning on the "Dancing Queen" instrumental on the speakers, Anne Maria went down the entire runway without any problem, having the opportunity to pose. Zoey was next, but the heels were too high and uncomfortable for her
"Why do these have to be so high?" she said, without realizing, she was close to the edge and saw how far she was from the ground. Her surprise and fear made her react by staggering, then tripping and falling off the board, landing not so softly in the mud, and when she looked at herself all dirty, she screamed as if there was no tomorrow.
"Tough luck, dear, the bathrooms are on the right" said the hostess, "Now Jo!"
The aforementioned genius peeked out onto the stage, not so interested in walking the runway.
Confessional (Jo):
"I'll be honest, I'd rather shower in sewage than walk around like a Barbie, but if I don't they'll think I'm purposely failing the challenge," she explained, "So what I'll have to do is sabotage myself without it being too obvious."
End of the Confessional
Jo whistled incredulously as she began walking backwards on stage, intending to fall "by accident". However, the tip of one of her heels broke, causing her to stagger abruptly, but instead of falling like Zoey, she slid all the way down the runway until she landed in the backstage.
"Wow, that was a very creative move for you, Jo!" Blaineley complimented, clapping co-ordinately
"Nice one, Jo!" Ella congratulated her as she helped her up.
"It wasn't on purpose" she replied, "Those heels broke"
"It's obvious, with that sharp tip" said Jasmine
Jo took off her heel and looked at the cut tip, "I don't know, it looks like it was cut evenly". Meanwhile, Sugar whistled "innocently", keeping a saw behind her. Then it was the Frogs team's turn, both Dakota and Dawn managed to get down the catwalk without much difficulty, the first because she was a proper diva, and the other because her mind was "balanced" and calmed.
Then it was Sky and Scarlett's turn, the first one was controlling her "weight" on her heels, however a misstep caused one of the tips to break and she wobbled, colliding with Scarlett and both falling off the catwalk.
"The Frogs lose half of their entourage!" Blaineley said after seeing the two lying in the mud
"Now you think being overweight isn't that serious?" Scarlett said angrily as Sky stood over her
"I'm so sorry, I really want to lose weight!" she said in total embarrassment, "Will you help me?"
"Ugh, okay...but with one small condition"
Confessional (Sky):
"The small condition would be that I'd give her a vote from me if we lost next time" she explained, "But if I don't get a clock figure again, I'll never get a decent role again...oh, that sounded really bad from me, sorry!"
End of the Confessional
Next it was the turn of the girls from the Rats team, Ella did well, Jasmine too, although the latter tried to fell into the mud on purpose, even Sugar did well, thanks to her modification of her heels so they wouldn't break. Then it was the twins' turn, who seemed to march together on the catwalk
"One step to the right, one step to the left..." Amy told her sister, as they continued marching in a martial manner. However, as they turned towards the shore, the tip of Sammy's heel also broke, she accidentally grabbed her sister and both twins fell backwards into the mud. Amy spat out some muck before looking at her sister with total anger, "What the hell was that?!"
"I don't know, really!" Sammy answered quite nervously, from above, Sugar smiled as she watched her first sabotage work.
Meanwhile, in the luxurious house, Dave walked around until he found Brick in the boys' room, who seemed to be preparing a plaid blanket and a picnic basket.
"Brick, tell Sam to cancel his party and kick out everyone who's not on our team" Dave told him, almost protesting.
"I'm busy now, buddy" he replied, grabbing the basket and the blanket, "I'm going watch the challenge that the girls are doing, and relax, a little camaraderie with the other teams won't hurt..." he said before leaving
Dave angrily walked down the stairs, "I hope Topher knows my same frustration...". However, he noticed that the country boy was standing with the other boys in the kitchen, drinking soda and chatting.
"And then the blonde said 'WOW', and I said, 'not now'..." he said to the others with total conviction.
"Ha, I'm dying to visit the countryside someday," said Duncan, the intern, who was also there.
"Interns!" Dave said upon seeing him, "It's clear that you're not allowed to let the opposing team into the winners' residence, right?"
"I don't know, dude, I'm on my break so don't bother...". Dave groaned before leaving, "Man, it's great to have a party here, although I feel a little bad for leaving the princess, the goth and freak-snake over there working."
"That's true" Ezekiel said, just entering, "Even if they're three, don't know how to handle that heavy work...". At that moment, the music playing in the background suddenly stopped, everyone, absolutely all the boys turned their gaze towards Ezekiel, who was also equally confused, "What?"
"Dude, what do you mean by that?" Owen asked in shock
"Well, boys are better at sports than girls, so...". He didn't breathe for a moment until they finished literally kicking him out of the house, swallowing dirt in the process, "I should have kept quiet..."
(Commercial Break)
Back at the challenge site...
"Congratulations to the girls who made it to phase two!" Blaineley spoke into the megaphone, right next to her and the stage, there were some stands where the girls eliminated from phase one were sitting, watching the challenge, "For a lady it's important to apply makeup well, it's not just paint to be prettier, use it wisely on your faces"
In backstage, the contestants now had a whole makeup set along with several mirrors.
"Girl, this is a dream come true!" Anne Maria said just before launching into the makeup, Jo rolled her eyes at this.
Confessional (Jo):
"I'm not someone who likes to paint my face like a clown, but everyone knows I don't wear makeup, so my self-sabotage won't look so obvious."
End of the Confessional
"The judge in charge of this phase will be none other than the intern Izzy..." said the host, just as the aforementioned intern stepped off right next to the catwalk, holding onto her own web, "The lady with the five beautiful eyes who will be able to carefully judge each girl work". The mutant blinked her five eyes in excitement
The first to come were Team Rats, Jasmine and Ella had no problem, but when it was Sugar's turn, Izzy looked at her closely
"Hmm, I think you look a bit weird..." she said out of the corner of her eye, unbeknownst to her, Sugar blew some glitter into her eyes, "Ouch! I think my eyes are a little off"
"That must be it" Sugar assured, "I guess it's by default that I passed". She strutted backstage.
Next it was Dawn and Dakota of the Frogs' turn, and they passed as well. Then for the Maggots, Anne Maria was the first, however, her makeup was somewhat smudged, especially her eye shadow.
"What do you think?" she asked
"AH, take that thing off!" exclaimed Izzy, who with one of his arms pushed her out, straight into the mud, "It's like a five-eyed mutant is staring you in the face, eugh!"
"Looks like country girls aren't so classy after all" the hostess sneered a little, much to Anne's annoyance, "Anne Maria is the first to fail with her awful makeup!"
"If her makeup looks awful..." Jo spoke in backstage, "Mine will be worse...". With much glee, she grabbed a container of makeup and smashed it right on her face, intending to lose it on purpose. She ran straight to Izzy and showed her her face, "How is it, five eyes? Horrible? Puke-inducing?"
The intern simply chuckled, "Sweet and charming like a freshly polished grey stone...". She pulled out a hand mirror for her to see, and sure enough, her face was perfectly made up, with blush even on her cheeks.
"YIKES!" Jo shouted in horror, immediately wiping her face with her sweater.
"Jo becomes the only member of Team Maggot left!" Blaineley said to everyone else.
"Let's go, Jo, you can win this!" Zoey cheered from the stands, along with Anne Maria who was shaking the mud off of her hair.
Confessional (Jo):
The genius girl growled irritably, "This must be damn luck, an invisible agent where no scientific factor can control it."
End of the Confessional
Meanwhile, Dave locked the boys' room, so he could sit on his bed and go back to his fashion sketches.
"Finally, now I can..." at that moment he heard several keys being pressed below him, he looked under the bed and noticed Shawn under the bed, next to his laptop. He was just as surprised when he noticed him, "What the heck are you doing there?"
"Sorry, I was looking for advice on how to get a girl to forgive my mistake...I mean" he trailed off at that last bit, "It's for an online friend who just got booted out for his ex"
"At least you can do it in another bed?"
"Negative, for some reason it's really good right here, over 200mb per second, it's like heaven..."
"Ugh, whatever!" the indie boy left the room,
"Hey, don't go, you're not the only one who likes to be alone...oh" Shawn frowned to himself.
Back with the challenge, Brick had set up a picnic to eat while watching the pageant
Confessional (Brick):
"Don't judge me for having a picnic in the middle of a beauty pageant" he said with his arms crossed, "Even male cheer captains need their moments to relax."
End of the Confessional
"Phase three is talent!" Blaineley announced, "For a lady to be interesting, she needs a quality, one that isn't necessarily disgusting..."
"Damn it!" Sugar cursed from backstage.
"Let us proudly welcome the latest contender of the Mutant Maggots, Jo, who will recite to us some of her great cerebral ability"
Confessional (Jo):
"I don't like these contests, but I've wacth them... to make fun of them" she said, "And I could see that the vast majority prefers the beautiful and brainless girls more; so I could easily lose being the opposite..." her eyes widened, "I mean, just the last one"
End of the Confessional
Jo walked to the end of the catwalk, "Today I'm going to recite my favorite fairy tale, 'the definition of neutrons'" she pulled out a science book and coughed her throat before reading it out loud, "'Neutrons, along with protons, are subatomic particles found within the nucleus of every atom. The only exception is hydrogen, whose nucleus contains only one proton. Neutrons have'..."
As she continued talking, the girls sitting in the stands were getting bored, as was Blaineley. However, the only one paying attention was Brick, who stared and stared at Jo as if she were William Shakespare himself. Finally, Jo finished her recital, with a confident smile.
"That was... interesting" said Blaineley, not very interested
"Well, I'll just say that mud don't bother me so much" said Jo, approaching the edge with the intention of falling in by 'accident', "So...". She looked perplexed as Brick whistled while clapping.
"Well..." Blaineley looked in surprise, "He's our male companion, and if he says he likes it, then you easily move on to the last phase, congratulations! I hope you're ready for the dresses..."
Confessional (Jo):
The genius girl growled furiously, "The next time that Brick-for-Cheers comes within two centimeters of me, I'll kick his ass!"
Confessional (Brick):
"I work with girls a lot in training, but I've never seen a girl like her" he said lustfully before turning back to himself, "I mean, Jo is a formidable and respectable rival, nothing more"
End of the Confessionals
Next it was the Poison Frogs' turn, Dawn was dazzling everyone, balancing several plates positioned on her small nose.
"How do you manage to do that, darling?" Blaineley asked genuinely impressed.
"If you have a calm and positive lifestyle like mine, you can dominate anything" she said softly, without flinching or making a mistake in doing so, before putting the plates back to their normal position with her hands, receiving several rounds of claps.
"Okay, make way for a real classy lady" Dakota spoke as she pushed Dawn off the catwalk. Then, she pulled out some sort of trigger hook
"Please tell me that's not a gun!" Sky spoke worriedly from the stands.
The wealthy blonde giggled innocently, "No, it's a hook, many hunters get their hands dirty and look worse than the animals after hunting them, so I'll show you how to hunt and be pretty at the same time...". At that moment, she aimed the hook at a tree and fired it, the hook ended up sticking into a nest, scaring the bird in it along with its two eggs. The most panting of this was Dawn, worried about the birds in danger.
Dakota turned to the hostess, "How do you want your eggs, Miss O'Halloran?" she asked sarcastically, "Scrambled or...". The hook returned carrying only the straw nest, which got stuck in Dakota's mouth who spat it out disgustedly. However, she was more disgusted when she accidentally fell off the catwalk and got dirty a second time by landing in the mud.
Blaineley shook her head, "Never make jokes about eggs, miss"
Confessional (Dawn):
"I hate to see someone get hurt, but at least the mud cushioned her fall and she can appreciate more of what mother nature gives her..." said Dawn before pulling out a box with a picture of a bird on it, she shook it and looked above it, "Do you like seeds with dust?". It showed that on top of her head the bird and its eggs were using her hair as a temporary nest.
End of the Confessional
"Alright, rat girls!" said Blaineley referring to the Toxic Rats, "Come show your talent to the world!"
"Rat girls? How rude!" Sugar complained about what she called them.
"Oh, I'm so nervous, my hands feel sweaty" Ella said looking at her damp hands.
Sugar smiled before taking out a box with white powder inside, "Don't worry, darling, I have chalk to dry your delicate princess hands!"
"Woah, thanks!"
"Hold it..." Jasmine said, placing her hands on the chalk, "I'm sorry, I need it for my act, thank you very much, Sheila!"
When she left, Ella noticed a red bag buried in the chalk, "What's that?". Before she could take it, Sugar slammed the box shut.
"Forget it, Ella," she replied a little nervously, "You'd rather use wipes!"
Confessional (Sugar):
"I guess I should hide my itching powder bags in better places."
End of the Confessional
Jasmine walked out to parade in the middle of the catwalk, using stilts to move at a higher height than she had.
"Wow! Are you looking this, sis?" Sammy said to Amy.
"Yes, the giant actress princess wants to look even higher" she mocked. However, that didn't stop Sammy from looking at Jasmine lustfully, blushing, something her sister noticed, "Why are you so red?"
"Uh! It's... the heat..." she replied hiding her face, waiting for her to stop blushing.
However, at that moment, Jasmine felt a burning sensation in her hands, and although she avoided it, she ended up scratching one of her hands, "Why does it itch so much?!" she moaned, however, as she scratched herself she lost her balance on the stilts, until she fell off the walkway. Instead of landing on the mud field below, she ended up falling right on the edge, which ended in a nothing soft landing.
"Oh my, Jasmine!" Sammy exclaimed, running towards her, "Are you okay?!"
"Yeah, mate...I'm corker" she said with Australian slang, bending her limbs in pain.
"Well, at least your dress didn't get muddy" Amy said with less concern, to her sister's annoyance, "What?"
Confessional (Amy):
"Why is Sammy so focused on Jasmine?" she said, "Yeah, she's not going to trick me, I saw how red she was when she looked at her, I hope this isn't some weird friendship fetish she learned in who knows what, daddy would never approve of that"
Confessional (Sugar)
"The time has finally come for what I'm made for" she said, putting on makeup, "I just have to sing 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' and poof, everyone will see how talented I am."
End of the Confessionals
"You know, Ella, I'm sure my act will be great," Sugar spoke to Ella, "Why don't I save it for the end and you get ahead of me?"
"Oh, nice idea!" Ella replied, walking outside, "I promise I won't let you down...". Ella stopped at the end of the catwalk, "Today I'd like to sing my favorite song as a child."
"UH? Well, it can be any children's song..." said Sugar confidently
The Asian girl coughed her throat, "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star, how I wonder what you are, up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky", she sang with an elegant and sweet tone, everyone was amazed by her, all except Sugar who was seething with anger, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, how I wonder what you are!"
When she finished, everyone applauded her
"Excellent, Eleanor, you're definitely going to the finals!" said Blaineley writing her down on the list
"Yes!" Ella exclaimed happily, she went backstage and turned to Sugar, "Very good luck in your act, I hope we go to the finals together!"
The Jersey girl growled with rage until she stood at the end of the catwalk, she hid her anger quickly and smiled, "Good morning, everyone, Iwill singing 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'". Before singing, someone interrupted her.
"Hey, we already heard that from Ella!" said Sky
"That's true, copycat!" added Anne Maria
Sugar burst into rage, "IT'S NOT TRUE! She copied me, and to prove it, I'll sing a thousand times better than her..." She coughed roughly and sing what Ella sing before, singing more out of tune, making both the girls and Brick uncomfortable, who were making her uncomfortable.
"STOP!" Blaineley told her using his megaphone, "Honey, I understand your 'dedication', but you can't scare the audience like that; I'm afraid you're out of the contest, be thankful you weren't sent into the mud of disgrace."
Sugar had a fit of rage and walked away from the public eye, Ella looked at her in dismay, "Woah, calm down, Sugar!" she said, "You don't have to feel bad."
"Of course, it's all your fault, you stupid spiritual pinky!" she ran away into the woods.
Confessional (Sugar):
She was blowing her nose, with some tears, "She stole all my fame, but I'll make that stolen fame turn into pure humiliation for the rest of her life!"
End of the Confessional
Sugar was now in the kitchen of the Mess Hall, she rummaged through things until she found a box, which had many white worms crawling around inside, the pageant contestant smiled evilly as she closed it and took it with her.
Later, in the "winners" house. Dave, already fed up, stood in the middle of the living room, where almost all the boys were partying, dancing to the music that was playing in the background, or eating the snacks that were in the fridge.
"Can you stop with your stupid party already?" Dave said, but no one paid attention to him, "I said, can you stop already?!". When no one heard him, he finally lost his temper, "Can you all just shut up! You're nothing but useless, brainless idiots!"
Just like that, the music stopped and everyone looked straight at Dave in surprise. The multiple glances made the indie boy worried, but not so much when Lightning tapped him on the shoulder, looking at him with a serious glance.
"What did you say, buddy?" he said in a deep tone.
Dave gulped and without thinking he ran out, and out the window of the cabin, running into the woods while screaming. The other boys watched him disappear, and then they saw Lightning.
"What were you going to do to him, dude?" Topher asked
"What?" Lightning pulled out what looked like two corks in his ears, "I just wanted to ask the skinny guy what he was saying, I was tired of the noise too"
Confessional (Dave):
The indie-boy was in the lotus position, seeming to tremble in fear, "I never, ever talk to the toughest guys in the school, you don't want to ever piss them off!" he said fearfully, "I'm not leaving here until the dust settles."
End of the Confessional
"Poor Dave," Sam said sadly, looking out the window, "He was really stressed out, maybe we should stop boys' day?"
"But then what are we going to do?" asked Lightning
"Why don't we see how the girls are doing with the challenge?" suggested Topher. Everyone agreed with him as they left the house.
Later just as night fell...
"Welcome to the final phase of the beauty pageant in Wawanakwa!" announced Blaineley, walking down the catwalk, with the other girls and Brick as spectators. "In this last round, the three finalists, one from each team, will walk down the catwalk wearing the best dress of their choice, the performance will be key to determining who will be the winner; so starting off, from the Mutant Maggots team, welcome the surprise tomboy of the day, Jo!"
The aforementioned did not come out or show up.
"You know you're going to have to come out at some point, Jo" Dawn spoke from backstage
"No way, guess how everyone will react when they see me wearing this thing" Jo said, still not coming out
"I know it will help you get out, Sugar taught me" Ella said, "And it's called, 'confidence boost'!"
In a moment, Jo was pushed straight out onto the catwalk, and everyone could see how the genius girl was wearing a simple, grey dress, along with a white pearl necklace around her neck. The girls smiled at seeing her like that, especially Brick, whose eyes lit up at seeing her
"Don't look! I don't like this kind of trash!" Jo protested, trying to "cover herself", "You're not going to see me like this anymore, right now!". She immediately ran straight backstage, away from the public eye.
Dawn then showed up on the catwalk, wearing a similar green dress made out of leaves.
"Nice job on looking organic" Blaineley said
"That's because it's organic" Dawn said calmly as she walked, "It's made out of leaves from a tree that I'm taking care of myself to return the favor of this"
"Eugh, that sounds gross now that I think about it" Zoey said disgusted, "Don't you feel itchy through your underwear?"
"What is underwear?"
Confessional (Zoey):
"Dawn is sweet and good to Mother Nature, but at the same time very unhygienic" she said, letting out a groan of disgust, "Who the heck doesn't wear underwear? Even I wear them in my swimsuit, if I swim in the water at all"
End of the Confessional
"Now to end this parade of extravagance, enter Ella!" Blaineley spoke. The aforementioned geek girl smiled as she approached the entrance, dressed in a pastel pink dress. However, right above her, Sugar was standing right on a wooden board, holding the box full of worms.
"Enjoy the tabloids, geekette" she muttered before throwing all the worms at her, chuckling as she let out a soft scream.
"Oh, what's going on backstage?" Jasmine asked worriedly upon hearing the soft scream. Suddenly, Ella revealed herself in front of everyone upon exiting, and they gasped loudly upon seeing her
"How did she get that dress?" Anne Maria asked a little jealously.
Ella looked down at herself to see what everyone was seeing, her pink dress now much longer and more elaborate, still with worms crawling on it
"Hehe, thanks wormiets!" she chuckled before picking one up and petting it
"What?! How is that possible?" Sugar exclaimed in amazement, "Those worms were supposed to eat her clothes, what kind of species are they?!"
Meanwhile, Chris and Chef were returning to the island by helicopter
"Hey, Chris, why do you keep those worms in my kitchen?" asked Chef, who was piloting.
"Oh, they're silkworms" the host replied, "They're so special that they can make new fabric in seconds!"
Back with the show, Ella happily posed down the catwalk, with the others delighting in her long, elegant dress. This made Sugar boil with rage, to the point of tearing out two small pieces of her hair and leaving on top
"Thank you so much, friends!" Ella told the audience, "I love your attention so much, but I want to direct that attention to a special girl named...". Before she could say the name, Sugar ran up to her and pushed her, landing with a loud splash in the mud. Both she and her dress were dirty, and she looked up at the person pushing her, "Sugar, why?!"
"Why? Why?!" she began to talk, quite angry, "YOU ruined my moment to shine, you pretended to be nicey all the time so you could go unnoticed and win the crown over me!"
"But I just wanted to be your friend..."
"Keep your words in the east, now just look at you! Do you think someone who looks like a muddy pig will win now?"
Ella looked at all the muck she was wearing, it made tears fill her eyes and she started crying her eyes out.
"That's not true, Sugar!" Sky pointed out, "She's prettier than you, and not necessarily because of her looks."
"Oh, shut up, big belly! I just played the game like these contests are played anyway, if you don't sabotage others then you sabotage yourself."
"Wait, you sabotaged, including us?!" Amy said, angrily, "We're on the same team!"
"Oh...uh?" the Jersey girl looked around nervously, "I think I have to go to the bathroom...". She quickly walked away from the spot, just as Dawn looked at Ella from above the catwalk.
"Don't worry, Ella, here I come!" said the hippie just before jumping straight into the mud.
"DAWN, DON'T DO THAT!" Scarlett exclaimed, but it was too late and she face-palmed in frustration
Dawn ignored her, and soon touched Ella's chin, "Shhh, shhh, calm down, darling, everything's okay"
"No, it's not!" the geek replied between sobs, "I'm covered in mud, and so are you, we've lost then"
"Maybe it's technically true...but you have to remember that true beauty comes from within"
"Yeah, like I've never heard that before" Anne Maria spoke sarcastically.
"What I mean is that Ella...you are so much better than Sugar in every way, and you don't need to look like her to do it"
"Really?" Ella wiped the smudged eyeliner and mud off her face.
"Of course, you look like the happiest girl in the world, 'cause you are, Ella the mystic"
"'Ella the mystic'? I like that name!". She stood up and took Dawn by the hand, "You know, I think these beauty pageants are overrated? How about we go, take a shower, and play Pocket Monster for a while with the two Game-Guys I brought?"
"I don't play video games, but it sounds kind of fun...". And they both left the place, receiving tender coos from a large part of the mostly female audience.
"Well, that was... cute, I guess," Blaineley said, unimpressed by the previous moment, "But anyway, eliminating those two muddy girls only leaves us with one by default, and although I would have liked it to be otherwise, ladies and male cheerleader, the winner of the beauty pageant in Wawanakwa...Josephine 'Jo'!"
Said genius girl was cleaning her glasses on the backstage, until two of the interns, Gwen and Courtney, grabbed her by the arms, "Hey, what? Let me go, I didn't ask to win!". Despite her attempts, she was pushed to reveal herself directly to the audience who applauded her, especially Brick who whistled at her, Jo blushed at the last and stood still.
At that moment, Izzy appeared hanging from her web, to put a kind of crown on Jo, just like the other two interns placed a red ribbon that said "Miss Drama" and gave her a bouquet of flowers. Jo, although skeptical, accepted it without taking them off her
"Well, I guess I'm in a moment of glory" Jo murmured, slowly showing a smile, "Maybe it's not as embarrassing as I thought..."
"HEY, JO!" exclaimed none other than Lightning, who along with the other boys had arrived and seen the stage, "How did you sneak into that contest?! It's supposed to be for girls, not for guys...", after saying that, he couldn't help but laugh. That's how she received a blow from Jo's crown, thrown by herself.
"Don't look at me, idiot!" she said, red with anger and embarrassment, so she quickly escaped from everyone's sight, as if she didn't want anyone to look her at that moment.
"Well done, sir" Brick said sarcastically, picking up the crown and glaring at Lightning on the ground.
"Very well," Blaineley spoke, now standing on the catwalk, "Since Jo is the winner, the Mutant Maggots win the luxury house, while you... Toxic Rats, will go to that so-called elimination ceremony with Chris". The female host then looked at the camera, "While you, the audience, that is all he has offered, Blaineley bids you good night..." she winked.
We then cut to another shot near the cabins, Jo had taken off all the clothes and put on her normal clothes. She was sitting on the steps, covering her face, before anyone arrived.
"Excuse me, miss, I think this is yours..." Brick spoke to her, holding up what was her crown.
Jo just looked away and said, "Throw it away, I don't need it, it's only for red-faced, cloying girls, I don't deserve that."
"That's not why you won...you're more special than any other girl I've ever seen, and I've worked with a lot of them". Jo glanced at him, "The point is that you are special just the way you are, and this crown proves it, not as a pretty model, but as the true genius girl of this island..."
Just like that, Brick placed the crown on her head, she was so surprised that she didn't resist him, then she looked at the cheer captain.
"Well, thanks" she said with a smile on her face, "But I don't want to take off my glasses to pose with this"
"It's not necessary, I think glasses make a girl like you look prettier..." he adjusted his glasses, but she suddenly pulled his hand away, "Ow!"
"Don't touch them and me!"
"Uh, okay"
"Alright, Brick-for-Cheers, I have something for you too"
"Really? So what...". He yelled in pain when Jo kicked his left leg, kneeling down so he wouldn't fall
"And don't you ever whistle at me like that again!"
"Y-yes, ma'am..."
Confessional (Jo):
The genius girl twirled her crown on her finger, "I'm going to keep this award, but I'll say it's a trophy for a grammar contest, I don't want people to know I got it by posing and wearing a dress."
End of the Confessional
Now we move on to the elimination ceremony at the bonfire, the six remaining members sitting there, surprised when Chris appeared wearing a golf cap.
"Guess where I was?" asked the host with a smile
"Wasting time on golf" said Sugar mockingly
"No, just taking a break from my hard work as host"
"But we've only been here for a week" said Cameron
"Whatever, farmer boy, just take this" he threw a marshmallow at him, "You're safe by default, the girls were the only ones who participated, Miss O'Halloran told us everything that happened..."
"But the only thing to note is that you, Sugar" Chef pointed at the Jersey girl indiscriminately, "Yoy purposely sabotaged your own teammates to win by yourself."
"Hey, Ella was the one who lost last" she excused herself, "I think she's to blame for everything."
"We'll see, as for who's safe." Chris gave the candoes to the next ones, "Jasmine, and the Wonder Twins; which leaves Jersey Girl and the East Girl, and the one who stays here for another day is..."
...

"Ella!"
"WHAT?!" Sugar exclaimed, "How are you going to get rid of the most talented of the group?"
"Think about that before you sabotage your own squad" Amy scolded.
"Huh, that's not what I meant to do, was it, Ella? Ella?". The geeky girl wasn't looking at her with good eyes, "Come on, you're always nice to me..."
"Not anymore, Sugar!" Ella said, with total bitterness and anger, "I don't want to be friends with someone who isn't worth of my heart...and by the way, your aura totally defines you, it's ugly, fat and totally out of control"
The Chef had to intervene so Sugar wouldn't hit Ella, "You'll regret this, mystical princess!" she said before she was taken to the dock.
"You did very well leaving her in her place, Ella the mystic!" Jasmine congratulated her, calling her with her new nickname
"Oh, it was nothing, I just realized that not everyone has a perfect aura" she replied, "But it's better to forget the bad, I feel a little better now, wouldn't you like to play a good four-player game of Game-Party"
"Video games?" Amy said incredulously, "Pfft, come on, offer something less childish and unproductive..."
"I'd like to play a bit" Sammy said, somewhat interested
"Me too!" Jasmine said
"Same, but what's a video game?" Cameron asked curiously, "Shall we watch a video while we play?"
The girls chuckled at their ignorance as Ella led them into the cabin for a nice round of handheld video games.
"And so we end this episode with a happy ending," Chris spoke into the camera, "A little cliche, but meh; can the Rats break their losing streak? Will 'Ella the mystic' be the new leader? Find out next time on Total...Drama...Island!"
We soon cut to the middle of the forest, right where the confessional booth was positioned, "Hello, is somebody here?" Dave asked from inside, "Somebody who isn't a bully? Anybody?"
Final Comments (Sugar):
"All this time preparing my audition, preparing my clothes, preparing my makeup, and still being the sixth to be eliminated?" Sugar spoke, "This just goes to show how little influence the show has on real beauties, though I'm surprised that Ella would say such a thing to me, I think she couldn't say anything bad about even a fly".The Jersey girl sat on the boat, arms crossed resentfully, "It doesn't matter anyway, I don't think someone as naive as her can become someone as 'mystical' as she says."

Author's Note:
New weekly chapter, I hope it continues like this (but I will take a break soon, I start lessons today)
The challenge was designed exclusively for girls more than anything because the last ones eliminated were boys and I wanted to balance the scales. Besides the beauty pageant, we had Dave's little subplot of wanting to seek space and silence, demonstrating his introvertism.
With the eliminated one, I think it was obvious that Sugar was another character to be booted out early, more than anything because she was one-dimensional. At least I'm telling you that from now on, Ella will be more participatory in the scenes.
Now, you were probably surprised or laughed at Sky's new belly, just to clarify that it's not going to disappear in the next episode, some things will partially remain in the chapter lengths. And speaking of this I want to start by saying that this story is classified for "TEENS". Later it will touch on somewhat sensitive topics, and I think that Sky's overweight will not be comfortable for many.
I clarify in advance that none of these plots are made to make fun of a certain sector (I also have a "small" belly, no one is immune from that). I say this so that no one thinks that this is "insensitivity", it's just entertainment
Now, in the next episode, the campers will face a relay challenge, full of food, but not delicious food, is nasty...NASTY food! See you next time!
