tranquoc2004vn- This fit contains lots of head canons, those two just being some.
It opened on the sun rising over Lake Wawanakwa.
(Narrated by Chris McLean)
Last time on Total Drama Island! We took both teams away from the island and back to mainland Canada, where they were tasked with preparing a three-course meal, all courtesy of Total Drama Superstars...Owen and Noah.
The Frogs of Death had plenty of downs when it came to cooking, and the Ferocious Trout had plenty of downs when it came to stable leadership. Caleb managing to stage an impromptu coux on Axel, which irritated the life out of her!
Speaking of which, Caleb also gave Emma some "relationship advice". And by that I mean he ripped into her heart, jammed a bunch of guilt and shame inside, and sewed it back up!
The Frogs of Death ended up making some pretty crappy food, but on account of a challenge twist, they ended up getting immunity. Which was bad news for Axel, because she got the boot...dang, right after the coux? Hehe, this show I tell ya.
We got ten contestants remaining, what'll we do to 'em? Find out today on Total...Drama...Island!
(Cut to Opening and Back)
It faded into the Girl's side of the Frogs of the Communal Washrooms, where Lauren was pouting while touching her hair. "Aww look at it...it's starting to fade." Lauren referred to her purple hair, which was now looked a more lighter shade of purple.
"If I knew I'd actually still be in the game, I would've brought more dye...what do you think?" Lauren looked to her left, where Emma was quietly getting ready for the day. "...Hello?" Lauren snapped her fingers. "I was listening!" Emma snapped out of a trance.
(Confessional)
Lauren- "Emma has been acting down in the dumps ever since last night. And she won't tell me a thing...I really hate being left in the dark about these things."
(Confessional End)
Suddenly the camp loudspeaker emitted an airhorn sound, making the two girls jump. And then it cut to Damien launching off the steps of the Trout cabin, Zee spitting up soda, and MK failing to swipe one of Priya's hair barrettes.
"Meet in front of the Mess Hall, and bring your team banners...it's challenge time!" Chris announced over the intercom. It cut to the ten campers standing in front of the Mess Hall, Bowie and Caleb holding their team's respective banner.
"Oh my back..." Damien clutched his back. "Dude, you launched off the stairs like a rocket." Zee chuckled. "Ha ha ha...real funny." Damien groaned. And then Chris walked onscreen with his hands behind his back.
"Ferocious Trout, Frogs of Death, before we begin the next challenge I'll need you to bring up your team banners." Chris ordered. Bowie and Caleb walked towards Chris with the banners, the two side-eyeing each other the whole way. "Just lay them down right there." Chris motioned to the ground in front of him. "Good..." Chris proceeded to reveal a small flamethrower from behind his back, to which he used to scorch the banners.
"Campers, from this moment on the teams are no more. Meaning it's Merge time!" Chris exclaimed, this causing a bunch of the campers to cheer. Most for the Merge, and some for the fact they watched an awesome flamethrower display.
(Confessional)
Wayne and Raj- "Woo, Merge baby!" "Bro, I can't believe we BOTH made it here!" "I know...victory hug!" "VICTORY HUG!" [The duo hugged]
MK- "Alright, looks like it's time to step into the light a little more."
Caleb- "Hehehe, time to dominate the game!"
(Confessional End)
"And just one last thing before we begin the challenge. Since teams have broken up, that means that from now on the guys will be staying in the Trout cabin, and the girls will get the Frog cabin." Chris began. "You have one hour to move and get re-settled, then meet right back here." Chris instructed before it fast forwarded to Bowie, Wayne, and Raj packing their stuff.
"We sure had some good memories in this cabin, right guys?" Wayne asked. "For sure, eh. It's almost a shame we'll be leaving and going to somewhere...unknown." Raj responded. "Our new cabin is literally like a hundred feet that way." Bowie added.
"But still, we'll also be leaving some...friends." Wayne looked downtrodden. "And bunking up with some sleaze bags." Bowie muttered, being caught by Raj. "Dude, are you talking about Caleb? I've always wondered why you two have been beefing with each other this whole game." Raj said. "Yeah, I've always thought he was a cool guy." Wayne added, now sounding less sad.
"He's vain and has an ego from here to Disneyland! He just swallows all that when he's manipulating people." Bowie answered, Raj cringing a bit at the word "manipulation". "Well I guess that kinda makes sense. But there's one more Caleb mystery on my mind." Wayne scratched his chin.
"And that would be...?" Bowie asked. "Back during all those beach challenges...Rajie, why did you suggest we eliminate him of all people?" Wayne asked, this sudden question causing Raj to freeze up. "You know what? I agree on that, I actually had MK on my mind during that elimination. But I guess knowing that Caleb would actually have the majority in the vote department...I went all in no questions asked." Bowie explained.
"Well, umm...you know...one thing I should..." Raj really didn't want to tell the truth about why he did it, specifically for Wayne. And thankfully he didn't have to because he was bailed out via a knock on the cabin door. "Oh, I got it!" Wayne answered the door to find no one there. "Huh...probably the wind." Wayne shrugged before it panned out to show a very panicked and confused looking Emma hugging the side of the cabin.
It then cut over to Priya, who was walking with her stuff to the Frog cabin. "Okay, you're the only new girl...this won't be difficult, you can do this." Priya hyped herself up as she reached the Girl's side door of the cabin. When she opened the door she expected to see some sort of conflict going on between the girls already there, but Emma was nowhere to be found, Lauren was asleep on top of a mountain of blankets and pillows, and MK was seemingly putting something under her mattress.
"Uhh...hello!" Priya waved to the mostly empty cabin. This caused MK to jump and Lauren to groan and bury herself under some of the blankets. "Jesus, haven't you heard of knocking!?" MK huffed. "I'm, uhh...sorry?" Priya apologized.
(Confessional)
Priya- "I've already angered one-third of my new fellow females! If I want to prove that I deserve to be amongst this already established group, then I have to work hard in this upcoming challenge!"
(Confessional End)
Meanwhile on the boy's side of things, it cut over to the Trout cabin where everyone had gotten settled. Wayne, Raj, Zee, Bowie, and a reluctant Caleb were having a blast on account of Zee having smuggled in a music player he forgot about until one of the new arrivals pointed it out. And Damien was just reading a novel while laying on his bed.
"Yeah, play that tune, bro!" Wayne exclaimed. "Ehehehe radical!" Zee laughed. This playful atmosphere caused Damien to look up from his book. "Damn, guys really do naturally get along better." He commented before the sound of the camp loudspeaker could be heard going off outside.
"Campers! Your hour is up, meaning the time for dilly-dally is over. It's...CHALLENGE TIME!" Chris excitedly announced before cutting back to everyone standing in front of the Mess Hall. "So now that everyone's comfy routines have been uprooted and now they're forced to live somewhere else, the challenge can properly begin." Chris began.
"Now everyone, step into the Mess Hall...if you please." Chris motioned. "The challenge is in there? Good, because for some reason lunch got skipped today." Zee commented, which made Chris silently laugh at what was to come.
It cut to the inside of the Mess Hall, where the campers began to grimace and retch upon entering. "Guh! What smells like Death just...died!?" Damien exclaimed. "It's the challenge of course. To kick off the Merge, we've dusted off and modified a challenge from Total Drama's past...welcome to the second Brunch of Disgustingness!" Chris announced. This caused a majority of campers to gasp, but Damien to look confused.
It then cut to a brief montage of Chef in the kitchen, cooking food in the most sloppy ways possible. "I've always thought of food as art. Not the stuff I get paid to purposefully make for the kids, I'm talking about some 5-Star, Michelin-Quality cuisine. In today's challenge I get to show the world my artistic side, and nobody can criticize me!" Chef narrated, before cutting back to the campers and Chris.
"Now just like the original, this will be a battle of the sexes. Boys on one team, girls on the other, the team with the most points by the end will win a reward...a weekend at a luxurious spa and resort! Where they will be pampered, eat caviar, and blah blah you get it." Chris explained.
"Now wait just a minute! The guys have an extra member, that's totally unfair!" Emma shouted. "Yeah, you're right...Damien, you're with the girls." "WHAT!?" "You scream like a girl, and I think that's hilarious. Now everybody sit down and let's begin!" Chris clapped his hands.
It cut to both temporary teams sitting at opposite sides of the Mess Hall. And then an Intern wheeled in a...well a wheel that had different colored segments. "The rules are simple, this wheel determines which one of the ten dishes will be served. If you refuse to eat, are unable to finish, or puke, then you lose the round. However if both teams do so, then it's a draw. Team with most points at the end wins, no elimination tonight, but you'll definitely feel like death." Chris explained.
(Confessional)
Damien- "Great, Chris put me on the Girl's team for laughs. But with Axel gone I gotta give it my all, even though it's statistically impossible, I'm going to give one hundred and ten percent!"
(Confessional End)
"I don't know about this..." Damien immediately backtracked. "You know, a few days ago I would've proudly proclaimed that my parents made me eat liver-flavored ice cream in preparation for these gross eating challenges...but I won't." Priya crossed her arms.
"Anyone? Does someone have words of encouragement?" Damien looked around. "...You know it's pretty easy to build a bomb." Lauren answered Damien's question in the worst way possible.
It then panned over to Chris. "And now from the prestigious culinary institute "Exemple de Texte"." Chris began. "Doesn't that mean "Sample Text"?" Damien interrupted.
"It's the one, the only, Chef Hatchet!" Chris announced as Chef walked through the Mess Hall door while wearing a fancy chef's outfit. "Now let's see what our first course is." Chris said before spinning the wheel. It spun for a few seconds before landing on the red segment.
"Round one: Red means you'll be eating old sweaty boot beef!" Chris announced. "I'm sorry, what?" Bowie asked. "Well first I needed some old meat. So I got some from the local dump." It cut to a brief shot of Chef fighting a raccoon for a piece of half-eaten meat.
"Then I packed the dump meat into a pair of my old Navy boots, then baked at four twenty five until medium-rare." Chef explained, him raising a lid off one of the silver platters and revealing the dish.
It cut to the Guy's side. "Look, I've put up with the food up until now. But this body is a temple...and this temple is shooing away that thing!" Caleb exclaimed. "Caleb, you better put your stupid ego aside because a spa resort is on the line!" Bowie banged his fists on the table.
"Whoa, let's just take some breaths here, dudes. There's no way we'll win if we argue with each other." Zee pointed out. "Yeah, gotta agree with Zee. That's the mentality of a team player!" Wayne added. "...Fine."/"Whatever." Caleb and Bowie reluctantly agreed.
It then cut over to the Girl's (and Damien's) side, where the dish had just been served. "Oh...oh no." Emma picked at the boot beef. "Relax girls, I've eaten plenty of gross things in my life. Just watch!" Lauren took hold of her plate and slid the whole thing into her mouth.
"See? Scary Food for a Scary Gir-" Lauren suddenly got up, punched a hole in the Mess Hall window, and threw up through said hole. "Thar she blows!" Chris laughed at the scene.
The Girl's Side was watching in terror, and the Boy's Side was also watching with unease. "Come on boys, we can't let a little incident like that deter us!" Wayne tried to motivate everyone. "Wayner's right, let's show those girls we mean business!" Raj pumped a fist.
"Hehe, you got it." Zee began chowing down, and actually seemed to like the food. "Hey, this ain't half bad." He commented. "Yeah, it has a...rubbery aftertaste to it." Wayne added, trying to sound a tad distinguished.
(Confessional)
Lauren- "Scary Girl was saying "Hey, we got this!" but I was was saying...bleugh!"
(Confessional End)
It cut back to the girls struggling, Priya and MK really the only ones eating their meal. "Come on, if we don't give any effort then the guys will eat circles around us!" Priya exclaimed. "Yeah, also just suck it up and deal with the taste." MK bluntly added. "Oh, that's easy for you to say, shortie!" Emma shouted, catching MK off guard.
"Damn girl, where'd that come from?" MK asked with wide eyes. "Um..." Emma looked around, where everyone at the Girl's Table was also wondering. But she was bailed out by an announcement from Chris.
"And the Boy's win the first round!" He announced to the sounds of celebration from the Boy's Table. "Great..." MK tossed her fork down. "Ugh..." Lauren wiped her mouth.
"Now it's on to round two, which is..." Chris spun the wheel again, this time landing on the orange segment. "Orange! Meaning your next dish will be..." Chris began.
"Nossobuco!" Chef finished, it cutting to a past shot of him preparing the dish. "Pork snout is a world-renowned delicacy. But my special recipe only uses pork with severe head colds." Chef removed the lid off another platter, revealing ten pork snouts leaking thick mucus.
"Oh yeah, this is REALLY safe and not at all deadly." Damien said. "Whaaaat? This food is completely safe for human consumption. We had taste testers to prove it." Chris eased Damien's worries, before comedically cutting to a shot of a couple Interns looking near-death in the Medical Tent.
It just as quickly cut back to the Mess Hall, where Zee was already slurping down the Nossobuco. "This is wicked, sorta like a nose bacon soup." He said. "Dude, for serious?" Wayne and Raj proceeded to do what Zee did, but spit out the liquid mucus that they almost just ingested.
"That is NOT like bacon soup!" Raj exclaimed. "My tongue still tastes like snot! I can't get the taste off!" Wayne was ferociously rubbing his tongue with a napkin. It then panned over to the Girl's Side. "I believe you meant to say it's SNOT like bacon soup!" MK called out, she and the other girls (and Damien) in the process of eating the Nossobuco.
The Boys were seeing this progress being made and decided it was time to get serious. "Alright, not that this concerns Zee since he...already ate his. But we just have to power through this course, scarf it don't barf it." Bowie encouraged everyone.
"Alright, we got this..." Caleb shakily held up his bowl. "Round two on taste?" Raj asked. "Round two on taste!" Wayne eagerly nodded. The four guys started chugging their food as fast as they could, but it all crashed and burned when this strategy just caused Bowie, Caleb, Wayne, and Raj to duck under the table and violently throw up. "Dudes!" Zee cried out.
"Done!" The collective voices of the girls (and Damien) exclaimed from the other side of the Mess Hall. "And with that putrid ending, the Girls win round two!" Chris announced. "No time for rest, on we go to three." Chris spun the wheel, and it landed on the yellow segment.
"Yellow...ooh, Les Croissant Cheveux." Chris read off a card. It once again cut to a quick past montage of Chef preparing the dish. "The idea for this dish came when I went to this tiny cafe while I was visiting Paris. It was there I found a hair in my pastry, and where the pastry chef had an aneurysm when I complained about it. So I assumed that hair mixed with unyielding rage MUST be the secret to good French cuisine!" Chef lifted the lid to the next platter, revealing several croissants covered with hair, lice, and the croissants themselves were growling.
"You also might notice a juicy, popping texture in the hair filling. Not to worry, that's just intense head lice." Chef explained. "Hey dudes, I'm gonna eat it in one bite. Watch!" Zee dumped his plate in his mouth and slid the croissant in there, a very loud crunching noise being heard that disturbed several of the campers. "You're a wild animal, bro..." Raj commented.
It cut over to the Girl's Side afterwards. "I've eaten insects just about my whole life in preparation for this, but lice is a new one." Priya admitted. "Well, if they can do it easily then so can we!" Emma looked at her growling pastry, before quickly taking several big bites and eating the whole thing. "...Hehe, it tickles going down." Emma laughed a little.
"You saw the girl, let's do it!" Lauren exclaimed. "Meh, whatever." MK shrugged. "GAH! MY THROAT ITCHES!" Wayne's cries could be heard throughout the Mess Hall. "Wayne?" Emma looked over to see him on his knees holding his throat and rolling on the ground like a madman.
"WAYNE!" Emma knew that she was supposed to be competing against him, but amplified by what Caleb said to, she couldn't stand by and watch.
Emma got up, ran over to Wayne, put her arms around him, and squeezed with more strength than thought possble. Until eventually Wayne coughed and spat out the lice croissant onto the ground. "*inhale* *exhale* Emma, you...might've just saved my biscuits." Wayne was regaining his breath.
"I mean the lice would've died eventually..." Caleb commented to himself. "Oh, I just wanted to...do a little more in this relationship is all." Emma blushed. "Huh? Do a little more...?" Wayne tilted his head. But then MK came onscreen and grabbed ahold of Emma's sweater.
"Can I just borrow her really quick? Thanks!" MK tried yanking Emma away from Wayne, but on account of her infamous noodle arms...Emma was forced to walk to where MK wanted to go. "Emma, what the hell are you doing!? We're supposed to be competing AGAINST the boys, not bailing them out of trouble!" MK whisper-yelled.
"I know and I'm sorry! But he...I mean...boyfriend and girlfriend...I want to be a better one!" Emma was sputtering. "Uh-huh, sure. Just sit back down and focus on the challenge." MK ordered, to which Emma sighed and obeyed.
"Done!" "Done!" "Ugh...done!" Priya, Lauren, and Damien all exclaimed. "Looks like the Girls have finished first, and what about the Boys?" Chris turned to the Boy's side, where Wayne was refusing to eat the croissant, Caleb was talking little nibbles of his, and everyone else had finished. "I'd say this round goes to the Girls! Meaning it's back to back!" Chris exclaimed to the delight of said individuals.
(Confessional)
Damien- "Hey, this ain't going too bad. Maybe I really can do this on my own?
Zee- "Aw bro, this challenge has been wicked...bring on the difficulty, brah.
(Confessional End) and (Cut to Commercial)
It cut back to Chris and Chef standing by the wheel. "After what happened in out last round, I'm all giddy to know what'll happen in round four!" Chris spun the wheel and it landed on a green segment. "Ooh...green means it'll be Wiggle Fries." Chris read from the next card.
It proceeded to cut to the next flashback of Chef preparing the food. "I once heard of this casu marzu stuff that's basically just a big wheel of cheese with a bunch of maggots crawling around inside. And I thought that since it worked with cheese, it could work with poutine too!" Chef explained.
Zee was already digging into the maggot poutine. "Mmm...wiggly." He moaned in delight. "Scarf it don't barf it!" "Scarf it don't barf it!" Wayne and Raj shoveled the poutine into their mouths, and quickly swallowed. "Ahh...eh, needed some cheese." Wayne said.
Meanwhile with the girls, they were struggling a little more. "Gross...unsanitary...GROSS!" Damien shrieked. And then Chef walked over once he noticed something wrong with Priya's food. "Uh-oh, you don't have any maggots on your poutine." "No it's cool, I don't..." But Chef had already begun sprinkling a bunch on.
Priya slowly jammed her fork in the poutine and held some up to her face. "Hey now." A maggot with a little mouth and mustache said to her. "GAHHHHH!" Priya tossed her fork away.
"And we're done!" Bowie set his fork down as all the guys finished. "And looks like the Boy's side finishes this one easy peasy!" Chris exclaimed. "It's tied up at two-to-two, what'll round five bring?" Chris asked nobody as he spun the wheel. It spun until it landed on a cyan segment.
"Cyan...Toejam Cookies!" Chris read out, and also cutting to the next Chef segment. "When I'm watching TV I like to pick the lint out from between my toes, roll it into tiny balls and flick them into the corner. Anyways, now they're in your cookies!" Chef explained his thought process.
(Confessional)
Caleb- "Toejam cookies!? That resort better be worth all the pain I'm inflicting on my body."
(Confessional End)
Zee was munching on a cookie like it was some gourmet stuff. "Mmm...still warm. Chef, you're really spoiling us today." Zee complimented Chef, to which he couldn't help but take it in stride. Several of the other campers across the Mess Hall slowly ate their cookies with varying levels of grossness.
"So what are in these glasses then?" Damien held up a glass containing a white liquid. "Blended shield bugs? Bull milk?" Damien guessed. "You're very close, but it's just normal milk...we're not monsters, Damien." Chris feigned offense.
"Huh, milk...I've always seen this stuff but never tried it. Always been more of a soda guy." Zee said as he drank some. "Say, where does it come from?" He asked. "Uhh...from cows?" Bowie answered. "Hehe...what do you mean it comes from cows?" Zee began getting a little skittish.
"Didn't they teach you this in like preschool? Milk comes from those dangly pink things at the bottom of cows, called "udders"...get what I'm saying?" Bowie emphasized like this was some of the most basic knowledge in the world. "I...that...they..." Zee was gagging before he puked.
"Why would anyone drink that!?" He began freaking out and attempted to run out of the Mess Hall. "I got him." Caleb got up, and tackled Zee just as he opened the door. "Okay...I'm good...I'm good..." Zee had lost his cool a little.
Caleb carried Zee back to the Boy's table, and just when he sat him down the girls began cheering. "And it seems that little freakout distracted the guys long enough for the girls to finish first. As for the guys..." Chris turned to see that Caleb had only took a bite out of his before abandoning it. "Lose the round! Girls win yet again." Chris announced.
"Great, thanks for freaking out over a little milk, Zee!" Bowie huffed. "Hey it wasn't my fault, Caleb chickened out!" Zee pointed at Caleb. "Dude!" Caleb shouted. "Whoa whoa whoa!" "Let's take it easy, eh?" Wayne and Raj tried getting between everyone.
The conflict was suddenly interrupted by Chris blowing an airhorn in the Boy's general direction. "It's not that I don't enjoy infighting amongst teams, quite the opposite. But we DO have a challenge going on right now." Chris said with his hands on his hips.
The five guys proceeded to stand there quietly for a second. "Fine...sorry, Zee." "It's cool bro, I could've handled things better." Bowie and Zee shook hands. "Hmph..." Caleb crossed his arms. "See? We're all getting along good now. So let's get back to focusing on the challenge." Raj suggested.
"Now then, let's get on to round six!" Chris spun the wheel again, and it landed on a maroon segment. "Maroon...Moose Noodle Soup!" Chris read the next card. It cut to the next Chef cooking explanation. "I've heard stories about how the natives would use all the parts of an animal that they hunted. And since I like their work ethic, I decided to use everything in your soup!" Chef set a large platter on each table, revealing two large, share-sized bowls of soup containing meat, fur, intestines, and antlers.
"Oh God..." Emma was on the verge of hurling. "By the way, you ALL need to contribute equally to this. So no taking one bite, sip, or nibble and calling it a day." Chris explained. Everyone looked down and saw that they were given big serving spoons to eat with. "Merciful Cressie." Lauren cringed at the sight of the food.
Meanwhile the boys had begun tying their napkins around their eyes like blindfolds. "I like chunky soup. It's good, and good for you." Wayne mumbled to himself. "Let's do this, guys." Zee began digging in with everyone else.
Priya, still wanting to prove herself, saw what the guys were doing and got a plan. "Look at what the guys are doing, let's just do that but...faster!" She suggested. "Really...that's your plan?" MK asked with a stone faced expression. "I mean it's not a terrible plan." Emma admitted, before one by one the girls blindfolded themselves and began to eat the soup.
The disgusting sounds of slurping, sucking, and gagging could be heard throughout the Mess Hall. But eventually, on account of them doing the blindfold strategy first..."We're...we're done!" Bowie groaned. "Oh God, my stomach!" Caleb exclaimed.
"And this round goes to the guys!" Chris announced, this causing the girl's side to all almost keel over from upset stomachs. "Looks like things are once again tied up at three-three. Let's see if that'll hold." Chris spun the wheel again until it landed on a pink segment. "Pink...Seafood Milkshakes!" Chris announced as it cut to the next Chef interlude.
"People all around the world enjoy the fish caught from the salty blue oceans. But that got me thinking...what about the people that ain't got any teeth? They're missing out big time! So I threw a bunch of different sea creatures in the blender, so they don't gotta chew it!" Chef explained.
The "milkshakes" in question had a pinkish chummy texture, as well as visible fish tails, whole clams, plus moving tentacles. "Mmm...delicious." MK was sweating. "Y-Yeah, this don't look too...bad." Damien's face was turning green. However on the other side of the table, Lauren had immediately began slurping down the Seafood Milkshake.
Emma, Priya, MK, and Damien were looking at her in complete shock and near-disgust. "Ahh..." Lauren soon finished, looking around at everyone. "Hey, I'm from Newfoundland. Seafood is a staple in my family." She vaguely explained.
"That doesn't translate over to a liquidized, most likely raw, still alive...milkshake..." Damien shivered. "Some of column A, some of Column B...now EAT!" Lauren demanded of everyone. "She's right...I'm not a quitter!" Priya shouted before she began chugging the shake. "Neither...am I." Damien said with confidence before he began doing the same thing.
MK still looked really unsure. "I don't think-" "Well I'll think for you!" Emma declared before picking up MK's shake and force feeding it to her. And afterwards it cut over to the guys...who were struggling to even take little sips through the wimpy plastic straws that were given.
"Urgh..." Caleb hacked up whatever bit of milkshake was in his system. "I can't do this, bro!" Wayne banged his fists on the table in defeat. "Guys, we can't...we can't..." Bowie suddenly turned and hurled into a bucket that had been graciously provided in-between scenes. "...Yeah, I agree." He also folded.
"The winner of this round are the girls! We have a real back-and-forth on our hands!" Chris exclaimed before spinning the wheel again. It landed on the blue segment, and Chris took out the matching card. "Blue...Roasted Platypus Tail!" Chris announced. "Huh, that doesn't sound TOO bad." Damien commented.
"You're right, Damien...hence why I let a special someone add the garnishes." Chef responded to this one. And on cue, Clyde exited the door to the kitchen wheeling the cart with the Platypus tails. "Campers, these tails were chopped off from platypus exclusively with horrible rabies, and seasoned with grounded up mixture of mutated Carolina Reapers, black widow venom, and the salt of my underling's tears...all approved by my two overlings" Clyde explained with a sadistic grin.
The ten camper's faces were white as chalk, Lauren's somehow turning even paler, and the Platypus Tails were put in front of said campers. "Well, no use in not trying." Priya took a bite of the tail, and immediately she began screeching and tears began pouring from her eyes on account of the heat.
"Well this is gonna take a while...Craft Services anyone?" Chris turned to the Co-Host and Head Intern. "Yeah, I could eat." Chef shrugged. "Keep watch over them and call us if they finish." Clyde pointed to the employees behind the camera as the trio left the Mess Hall.
(Confessional)
MK- "Could we have just refused to eat the tails and end the round in a draw? Yes we could've. But did we...? No, because it wasn't about winning rounds anymore, it was about sending a message!
Bowie- "Could we have just refused to eat the tails and end the round in a draw?" [Confession ends early]
(Confessional End)
It cut to a shot outside the Mess Hall, where a mini-stopwatch appeared in the upper lefthand corner. And it quickly sped up to show that three hours had passed, ending with Chris, Chef, and Clyde re-entering the building. "Alright, so why didn't anyone call?" Chris asked until they saw the sad scene of several campers crying, clutching their stomachs, and most of the platypus tails were still not eaten.
"Think we made this round a little too hard?" Chef asked. "...Oops." Clyde commented. "Chris walked around and saw that Priya and Lauren managed to eat their whole platypus tail. And Bowie was the only guy to eat his. "Well, since this won't go anywhere anytime soon...the girls break the cycle and win two consecutive rounds!" Chris announced, not getting much of a reaction from anyone.
"Alright fine, we'll take an intermission to get everyone taken care of."
(Cool Transition!)
It cut to all the campers alright and recovered. "So now it's five-three girls!" Chris spun the wheel and it landed on a purple segment. "Purple...Raccoon Tartar!" Chris read aloud, the next Chef Interlude also starting up.
"Rich folk'll eat all kinds of animals as long as the dish has a fancy name attached to it. "So I thought, heck, why not raccoons?" Chef finished, revealing silver platters full of raccoon meat topped with those little raccoon pelt hats.
"After that last dish, I'm up for anything." Raj said. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but so am I!" Caleb agreed. "Let's do this!" Wayne exclaimed as the guys began digging into their food. And then it cut over to the girls, who didn't have any qualms about the raccoon tartar. "Alright, let's do this!" Emma clenched a fist. "Eat eat eat!" Lauren was already shoveling the food in.
And in mere moments, a victor was already decided. "And by a split second margin...the guys!" Chris announced. "Woo!" "Yeah!" Alright, eh!" Zee, Bowie, and Wayne all celebrated. And then Chris clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. "Listen up, campers! This is the tenth and final course, so this can either win the challenge for the girls...or tie it up." Chris explained before taking out the last card, not bothering to spin the wheel.
"Violet...Caterpillar Soufflé." And then the final Chef Interlude played. "I got the idea when I was helping my Mother with her gardening. One day I saw a whole bunch of caterpillars and thought, hey maybe The Lion King was onto something with bugs being tasty. So I baked a whole bunch of 'em into a soufflé!" Chef explained.
It cut to the guys, who all (minus Zee) had intense expressions. "All right team, if we win this then we tie up the game." "Then Chris will most likely bring out a tiebreaker." "So we need to put on our game faces for this one!" Wayne and Raj encouraged the team. "...You got it." Zee nodded.
"They're right, we can crush the girls and win that spa trip!" Bowie was pumped. And so around the Mess Hall, the ten campers began eating the little soufflés full of caterpillars...until finally.
"The winners of our tenth and final round are the guys! Tying things up at five-five!" Chris announced. "Woohoo!" The guys began cheering, while the girls began to look frustrated. "Not to worry, we have a tiebreaker." Chris nodded at Clyde, who went into the kitchen and came out with a large silver platter.
"Wait, I only cooked ten dishes. I didn't make this one." Chef thought out loud. "Right you are, and that's because I had to track it down..." Clyde sat the platter down and removed the lid, revealing a small mountain of gummy bears.
"Gummy bears? Aww sweet!" Raj exclaimed. "I want them!" Emma eagerly reached out towards the gummies. "Hold on! For this challenge, you'll need to send your two best eaters up. A 1v1 if you will." Chris explained.
Both teams then immediately began discussing this with each other. "Zee, it's gotta be you. You were shoveling down that gross food like a starving man." Bowie suggested. "Sorry bro...but after ten meals my tummy's full. And when it gets full, I needs me a nap. *yawn*" Zee yawned.
"Great, anyone else?" Bowie asked. "Oh! I can tackle that big pile of gummy bears. I once tackled a big sixty four ounce steak as part of an eating challenge!" Wayne piped up. "It's true, Wayner's still got the cool t-shirt he won to prove it." Raj backed him up.
"Well...okay, I guess I'll trust your judgment on this one." Bowie caved to Wayne and Raj. And then afterwards it cut over to the girl's side.
"So seeing as my parents trained me basically my entire life, I'm pretty sure I should do this." Priya said, before Emma leaned towards her. "Priya, you listen here. I haven't had a single sugary thing since I got to this island...I'm eating that pile of gummy bears!" Emma semi-threatened. "...Okay." Priya backed off.
(Confessional)
Emma- [blushing] "Sorry, I...get a little intense when it comes to some foods."
(Confessional End)
Chef set up a table in the middle of the Mess Hall, where Wayne and Emma sat across from each other. "Hey Em, looks like we're battling against each other on this one. So...no hard feelings, eh?" Wayne asked. "Oh...no no of course not, none at all." Emma answered.
"Okay, now that we've got our eaters..." Chris snapped his fingers and Clyde replaced the gummy bear platter with a platter of...pasta? "Whoa, spaghetti!? Now this is a leg I can get behind!" Wayne rubbed his hands together. "Actually Wayne, this is a...fifty foot tapeworm." Chris corrected, causing the entire Mess Hall to gasp.
"No, you can't! At least my dishes pretended to be edible!" Chef exclaimed in terror. "Please kids, do NOT do this! Not even a five star resort is worth eating this!" Chef warned.
(Confessional)
Tapeworm- "They're right to be disgusted, I haven't showered in days."
(Confessional End)
"In the middle of this tapeworm is a finish line..." Chris held up part of the worm which had a red line drawn on. "The first one to reach the finish line will win the chalenge for their side, and will get to spend the weekend at a luxury spa resort. And don't worry, the line was drawn with beet juice...we're not monsters." Chris explained.
"Ready...set...EAT!" Chris ordered as Wayne and Emma grabbed opposite sides of the worm and began eating. MK was covering her eyes, Bowie was looking up to the sky while making a cross on his chest, and Zee was whispering to Caleb. "Do tapeworms come from cows too?" He asked. "That one probably came from Godzilla!" Caleb quietly yelled.
After some very...very...VERY disgusting eating, Wayne and Emma were at the end of the tapeworm, and were getting closer to each other.
(Confessional)
Wayne- "Whoa, I'm on the verge of winning this challenge, and I can kiss my girlfriend? This is making it all worth it!"
Emma- "*sigh* I wanted to let this romantic moment play out...especially because Lady and the Tramp was one of my favorite Disney movies as a kid. But this was a challenge, and I was almost at the end."
(Confessional End)
It cut back to the two, where Emma took a few big bites while leaning forward. And then she bit off the middle part of the tapeworm, as Chris blew an air horn to signal the end of the challenge.
"Emma wins...Emma wins..." Chef was on the verge of puking when he saw the other part of the tapeworm still hanging out of Wayne's mouth. "In three...two...one..." Chris took out an umbrella and opened it.
Chef proceeded to throw up on the platter between Wayne and Emma, and this started a chain where Wayne and Emma puked, then the other campers watching, and even the camera crew did as well before the cameras turned to static.
(Confessional)
Bowie- "Grossest...episode...ever!"
(Confessional End)
It cut to a shot of Emma, Priya, MK, Lauren, and Damien walking down the Dock of Shame towards a yacht. "The girls are the big winners today..." Chris began, getting a glare from Damien. "While the guys get the taste of defeat out of their mouths..." Chris continued, it cutting to a shot of the Communal Washroom. Where Bowie, Wayne, and Raj were furiously brushing their teeth, while Caleb and Zee were rinsing their mouths.
"What terrible twists await for our campers next week in the Merge? Tune in to Total...Drama...Island!" Chris exclaimed.
