Interlude 1: "What's A PYT?"

Casa La Losers - Population three(About to be four)

In comparison to a normal episode, this time the camera pans down upon a small motel out in the desert, it was very hot out but at least there was a good AC unit pumping and a swimming pool and hot tub for the contestants to enjoy. This is the Casa de Losers, where all the eliminated contestants will be staying until the end of the season to avoid anyone breaching their NDA's by returning home.

It was currently eleven PM at the location where the houseguests that had been evicted were staying. At this current point in time; Anna and Shane were playing a game of cards by the pool while Mandy sulked in a pool chair whilst she read a magazine. What was noticeable is all of them had changed out of their game attire, Mandy wearing a pink tracksuit, Anna wearing a pale blue sundress and Shane clad in a simple wifebeater and shorts. In addition Shane had also shaved off his goatee.

Mandy: Ugh, this sucks! I should've gone on big brother instead.

Anna: What's the difference? With your strategy I don't think you would have made it far there either.

Shane: Yea, to be blunt the "I'm a helpless hot girl who's actually smarter than she seems. Please drag me to the end so I can win easily and laugh it up in the confessional" trope is a bit tired.

Mandy: Whatever! At least there I could have had more time to bring people on to my side!

Anna: Sure… With your winning attitude I bet that would happen.

Shane stifled a laugh while Mandy groaned.

Shane: Man how did you and I not talk before this? You're funny as hell.

Anna: Honestly? I kind of lumped you in with Ray and Lake and didn't give you a fair shake. That was my fault.

Mandy: While you two have your little happy bonding session I'm gonna go change for a swim.

Mandy stalked off towards her room

Shane: Has she been this bitter the whole time?

Anna: I mean I've only been here one day longer than you… But yea. So what happened with you anyways? You seemed to have a level head, I almost expected you to be a lock for the merge, or at least outlasting the other two jocks.

Shane: A disaster of a vote really. I thought we had the votes to boot Tyler cause he fell asleep during the challenge and cost us a person who could have made it before Brenda.

Anna: Why am I not surprised he was asleep.

Shane: I mean he hid in the trunk outside with all the pillows. I would have too if I'm being honest. But anyways, Lake agreed to talk to others to try and get the vote our way but I guess nothing worked, because someone stray voted Lake, another pair voted Ray, and then the other four ganged up on me.

Anna: Jesus. Who do you think got you out?

Shane: If I'm being totally candid, I think Nate probably got a group to hang up on me. The guy is smarter than he seems.

Anna: Well yea, people like him are usually early targets so I figure he's playing hardball to make sure that doesn't happen.

Shane: What do you mean "people like him"

Anna: Uhh-Umm you know… bigger? Simply cause they aren't as easily capable of keeping up in the early challenges which could make them stick out as a target.

Shane: *chuckles* Woah Anna, Fat shaming much?

Anna: No no, I mean Owen won didn't he? So anyone can win this game.

Shane: Even Ray?

Mandy walked out in a pink Bikini with her hair tied up in a bun

Mandy: I wouldn't underestimate him. I can't believe I'm saying this but it's exactly as Anna said, anyone can win this game.

At this point Mandy's train of thought was disrupted by the screeching of tires outside the house

Shane: Whelp, here comes lucky loser number 4!

?: Hello? Is anyone awake?

Mandy: Is that…?

Anna: Yup.

Mandy: Oh hell no.

Shane: Are you gonna Snap?

Mandy: It's on.

Shane: Lovely.

Robin walked through the doors leading to the pool area, holding a small folded piece of paper and smiling brightly

Robin: Hi guys! Oh my gosh you all look so good! Mandy I love the Bun! Anna that sundress is amazing and Shane you shaved! You look so different!

Anna: Aww thanks! Look I'm sorry for gunning for you but you get where I was coming from right?

Robin: Exactly! You were doing what you felt you had to do to get farther I couldn't hold that against you! Honestly I thought I was gonna be the first out when I came here so I'm glad I wasn't!

Mandy: Wait hold up. What's that supposed to mean?

Robin: Well back home I'm not the most popular, so I was worried about coming out here as I thought maybe people wouldn't like me.

Mandy: Nope! too vague! You knew damn well you were a target for losing to Ray so you convinced people to shift to me because I also lost my round!

Shane rolls his eyes and Anna takes a step back as Mandy begins to edge towards Robin.

Shane: Were really doing this huh?

Robin: That-That's not what I did! The rest of the people in my room decided that instead of booting Anna for being potentially a strategic threat later that we should boot someone who brings down Morale, and they didn't like your attitude! That's all I swear I never said anything bad about you!

Anna: Wait I was a boot option?

Robin: For like two seconds but we shifted really fast, Maria actually brought up the fact that we should boot you first come to think of it.

Anna: Geeze. Could she have been your second vote?

Mandy: ANYWAYS! Robin you should have I long gone home first point blank and the period.

Robin: Well I guess up against you I was seen as the better option to keep. As for you Anna I think Brenda saw you as the second vote for me so she targeted you, that and you kinda flubbed your end of the challenge that's all.

Mandy: How were you the better option to keep?

Robin: Well I think you're kind of showing why right now?

Anna made a noise that could only be accurately described as "asdfbzakdbaj" and began to howl with laughter

Anna: Holy shit! Mandy just got fucking wrecked.

Shane: Yes Robin! Show off that feisty redhead game!

Mandy Screamed with rage and snatched the paper from Robins hands

Mandy: What's this? A love letter from Brenda? Wait…. holy fuck! Jesus Christ! This is bigger than John Lennon!

Shane: What is it?

Anna: Robin you came with it, you should read it!

Robin takes the paper back from Mandy

Robin: "Dear Robin, I know you must be saddened by your elimination however I am here to bring you joy! Fear not for at a certain point in the game there will be a chance to return! I don't know much about it currently as Viola is very good at hiding secrets. But rest assured my job as the loyal Taxi driver may help find more info. I'm rooting for you especially as I must admit, you are definitely a PYT. Here's my digits if you're interest-" he gave me his phone number? And what's a PYT?

Anna screamed and began to laugh again but had barely any air from the shock so she just sat on the floor clapping like a seal while shaking with sounds of slight laughter. Mandy and Shane exchanged a glance before shrugging

Shane: PYT stands for Pretty Young Thing

Mandy: Basically he wants to fuck you. I'm almost a little offended that he didn't give me this note!

Robin: Well I'm waiting for marriage so you can have him Mandy!

Mandy: Gee thanks, but this isn't important! We could return to the game holy fuck AHHHH!

Anna having finally regained her composure spoke up

Anna: Well let's hope we can get more info from this guy! Give ourselves a leg up on the rest.

Shane: A chance to return huh? Thank god

Robin: Oh lord. I can only imagine the drama this would cause! But I want to go back too!

Mandy: If you fuck him can we get more info?

Robin: Like I said, you can have him! After all blondes have more fun right?

Mandy: I'm not even a natural blonde if I'm being honest.

Shane: Holy shit for real?

Mandy: Yea I dyed it cause I figured guys would like the blonde girl better rather than brunette.

Anna: Character development? In our Mandy? It's more likely than you think.

Mandy: Really? Is that needed?

Anna: Yes.

Mandy: Understandable, have a nice day.

Robin: But it's nighttime?

Mandy: it's a meme- oh forget it. What matters is someone or some people are gonna return!

Robin: Well nevertheless. I think we should all maybe get some sleep? But should we tell the others who come?

Shane: I say we should cause it's only fair everyone gets an actual shot at knowing their fate.

Mandy: I suppose. Well I'm gonna get a quick swim in and then get some sleep. Later guys.

Mandy went to walk away but Robin grabbed her wrist

Robin: Wait Mandy! No hard feelings right?

Mandy: I suppose not. Definitely not now that you got us that info. Thanks Robin. Have a good night now.

Robin: Night!

All four eliminated contestants made their way to do their own things before going to bed.

Confessional: Situated in a broom closet on the edge of the Motel

Mandy: A chance to return huh? I know I'd be in danger if I were to return so knowing I could gives me a lot of time to plan my course of attack if I do return. Oh who am I kidding? I know for a fact that-

Anna: As the second boot I really couldn't do much before I met my end, being able to return would really make a huge difference and not make my summer feel like a waste. If I put my brain to it I can accomplish anything so I know that-

Shane: I need to return. No doubt about it. This whole thing just seems so incomplete to me, being blindsided the way I was just rubbed salt in the wound as well. Whether these guys like it or not I know that-

Robin: I want to go back to the game because I want to keep having fun! I've already made friends in the house like Brenda and Kyle, and I want to make so many more! For the power of friendship I know that-

The camera shifts to form four squares to show all four eliminated contestants in their respective confessionals

All: I will return to the game!

A/N: Sooooo I'm sure you all saw this coming, I mean what's a TD Fic without some returnee action? Do you think any of these people will return? :O
