Episode 41 is here after three weeks! I'm sorry, but I won't do review responses right now as I need to get this out quick because I have other stuff to do. I'll do it next chapter.
Recap
"Last time on Total Drama Ultimate… Lightning had a meltdown at the Water Team's camp over the fact that Millie is still in the game. Cody took the blindside well though! Nichelle and Josee talked about their prospects once they reach the merge. Noah put seeds into Shawn's head that he shouldn't just work with the Forgiveness Alliance, and that he'd need to betray them before they betray him. Scott and Mary got into an argument over Mary catching Scott looking through her bag. In the end, there was a twist where the bottom two teams would vote out one person collectively. The Water Team won musical chairs, which meant that the Fire and Earth Teams were in the hot seat. Due to his bridge burning, Noah was voted out. Now just 14 are left, who will be voted out tonight?"
Intro
Day 79
Cut to Earth Team
"We all survived!" Staci cheers as the team walks back into their camp. "I didn't expect that to happen considering how dumb a lot of people are and love flipping on their teams!"
"The faith you had in us is just lovely." Scott sneers.
"This vote wasn't lovely though." Tammy comments out of annoyance. "Noah is possibly the least threatening person left in the game, yet we voted him out over the actual threats? That was so dumb."
No one says anything as Tammy walks out.
Confessional: Tammy
"Voting for Noah may have been a strong way to flush their idol, but we played so stupid. Josee could've been gone!" Tammy says before sighing. "Guess I'll have to find another way to get her out."
Conf end
Cut to Fire Team
"Well… that sucks. The idol is down the drain." Shawn frowns as the Forgiveness Alliance trio make their way back to camp.
"I really thought I was going home there." Josee takes a deep breath. "I wish if you wasted it, you would've played the idol on me. I did get the votes after all."
"Whatever, we didn't know for sure. As I said, Noah didn't like me too much." Shawn replies with an annoyed look.
"We don't have to worry about that anymore!" Nichelle assures. "His problematic ass is out of the game, though he painted an even bigger target on us."
"Just what we needed." Josee says with little enthusiasm. "Sorry about freaking out over the idol… I just realized that I probably would've played it on myself too."
"You realized this two seconds ago?" Nichelle questions, getting a nod out of Josee.
"It's fine… but now we can't lose after this. We're doomed if we do." Shawn says.
"Which is ridiculous." Josee scowls. "I can't believe the team is doing so badly, I should have performed better in these challenges!"
"Yeah, it's kind of a flop. But the merge has to be soon, ten people have been eliminated in this phase. There are like two challenges left at most." Nichelle tries to look on the bright side.
"You're right, and we better get gold in both." Josee says with determination. Shawn sighs, which Josee takes notice of since she's very close to him! "What."
"Things feel kind of hopeless. The Earth Team will 100% be against us, and I'm sure the Water Team won't care to see us go either. We have enemies. Even if we all merge, we'll be targeted right away." Shawn frowns. "I know that's not the right mentality to have so late in the game, but does it not feel that way for you guys?"
"Hope is never gone. I'll never stop fighting until Chris says I'm eliminated." Josee states. There is a pause before she speaks again. "Okay, I might break a few things and fight about it out of rage, but you get the point."
"Yeah Shawn, I'm sure we can find a way. We all know a thing or two about strategy, and there have to be some cracks in the other teams." Nichelle says.
"I guess. I just feel that it's my fault. Putting the whole alliance on the same team was a good idea in the short term to get us to the merge, but long term it really just guaranteed that the other teams would come after us right away once the merge hit. I should've had faith in us to survive without relying on each other." Shawn rants.
Josee cracks her knuckles while thinking. "Well… it's a difficult situation. Alejandro and I were constant targets the second we got split from you guys in phase 3. We'd probably be targeted for being mean players without you, but like you said… we're targets anyways."
"And if luck wasn't on our side, I could've been on a team with Sammy. Or Josee with one of the people she insulted in the try not to cry challenge. I don't blame you for taking the risk." Nichelle adds. There is a peaceful moment between the trio as their confidence seems to grow.
Confessional: Shawn
"I also feel bad because deep down I know that what Noah said is true… partly because I put myself in a situation where I might have to throw Josee or Nichelle under the bus to protect myself since I made us prime targets at the merge. But who knows, a miracle could happen."
Conf end
Confessional: Nichelle
"Despite our flopism in the challenges this phase, I feel good. I have an idol and I doubt Shawn or Josee would vote for me if we lose. I think I can do well in the merge, I gotta stay confident. If I don't believe in myself, who else will, know what I'm saying?"
Conf end
Confessional: Josee
"I'm a little unhappy about Noah leaving. Better him than me, but I know that Nichelle and Shawn are tighter with each other than they are to me… I miss having Alejandro around."
Conf end
Cut to Water Team
We cut to Millie and Sammy on their way to their team's main camp. "I can't believe that Nichelle and I got out at the same time, she's such a pain." Sammy complains. "I haven't been confronting her too much after Shawn snapped at us, but of course something like that had to happen. She probably bumped into me on purpose, I hope she got voted out last night."
"Erm… it was a challenge that was bound to have something like that happen, I really doubt it was anything regarding your rivalry. Just let it go." Millie advises. "It's not like you have to deal with the problem living with you like I do."
"Lightning?" Sammy correctly guesses right away.
"Yeah! He constantly complains about how weak I am, like I know that! Even if I didn't know that, I sure would after the hundredth mention of it. I wish he would just back off, it's not like I cost us the win with the musical chairs thing. We won, and I only got out because of the weak chair." Millie sighs.
"Right, I-" Sammy cuts herself off as she hears talking when the girls get back to camp. She and Millie look to see Lightning ranting to Cody and MK.
"How has she done literally nothing right this phase?" Lightning asks. "She wasn't the first out of a round, and she still managed to lose it by breaking the chair! If Sugar was here-'
"Don't say she wouldn't have broken the chair, we both know that's not true." MK snarks, causing Cody to hold in a laugh.
Lightning groans. "Okay, maybe you're right, but still! I just think-"
"Get over it!" Millie walks in on the conversation, startling Cody and MK.
"I wish I had popcorn, this is about to be as intense as when Ally yelled at those children!" MK smirks in Cody's direction.
"Can it really be that intense?"
"I think so. Too bad her grandpa died of lung cancer, we'd hear her yell more often."
Enough about that, as Lightning looks at Millie. "I didn't see you here!"
"Yeah, so you thought it was appropriate to insult me behind my back! You couldn't say it to my face?" Millie crosses her arms.
"Come on girl, I've insulted you to your face a thousand times!" Lightning yells.
"I- oh, right." Millie rubs her arm before her determination grows back. "Whatever, that's not the point! I'm tired of you constantly complaining about how bad I am at challenges, leave me alone! I'm not going to get any better by being yelled at."
"That's how my coaches made me better Millie, you need to do the same if you want to improve." Lightning scoffs in response.
"Just because your upbringing clearly damaged you doesn't give you the right to act that way to others!" Millie shouts.
"I ain't damaged, I'm a star who's won this before!" Lightning yells.
"You're not a star, you're just an asshole." Millie walks off. Lightning glares at her as she leaves, but then he turns to the rest of the team.
"Was I wrong for that? Pointing out her shortcomings is only going to help her improve, why can't she handle criticism?" Lightning asks.
"Lightning, you haven't been handling things with Millie that well." Cody quietly inputs, causing Lightning to look hurt.
"Even you think I'm wrong here?"
"You're not wrong that she drags us down, I'm just saying that you handle it poorly." Cody replies.
Lightning frowns. "Alright…" is all he gets out before walking off.
"That was something." Sammy comments with a grimace after ten seconds of silence.
"Something crazy, haha!" MK laughs, causing Sammy to roll her eyes.
Confessional: MK
"Yes, I'm capable of being a basic bitch who can find this drama entertaining. It's nice for things to go full circle for me to be under the radar after everything."
Conf end
Confessional: Millie
"Sue me for being fed up at this point. Lightning reminds me of Priya if Priya was an awful person. Each potential duo I can work with has someone I don't like. Lightning, Chet, and MK are so irritating. Chet and MK in particular are people I wasn't thrilled to rely on after what they did to Kitty. If I make it to the merge though, I will target Lightning."
Conf end
Confessional: Cody
"Oh barbecue sauce, I need to check in with Lightning so he doesn't keep tanking himself! I just wish I wasn't the only person he got along with, it makes things a lot more difficult."
Conf end
Confessional: Lightning
"No one understands where I'm coming from, it's so frustrating. Hearing that Cody thinks I'm wrong hurts in particular, I thought he'd side with me."
Conf end
Before Millie can find herself alone, another member of the team runs into her, that being Chet. "Wow, you look angry." he notes.
"You think?"
"Yes, because you-"
"Yes, I'm angry! What do you need?" Millie asks.
"Aren't we supposed to do therapy?" Chet questions, getting a sigh from Millie in response.
"I'm not in the mood for it, I feel like I need a therapist." Millie shakes her head.
"Oh… I can be that for you! What's your problem?" Chet questions.
"Have you ever had people constantly rag on you for physical weakness?" Millie asks.
"No, I'm just not weak, so no one has an excuse to call me weak." Chet replies. Millie groans and walks off.
Confessional: Chet
"Wow, she is garbage at this!"
Conf end
Cut to Earth Team
We see Raj and Mary carrying buckets of water back to camp, though unbeknownst to them, they are not alone. "Remind me why Staci couldn't get this herself again?" Raj asks.
"Her family is allergic to lakes on March 20th according to her." Mary shrugs.
"That sounds fake… even to me!" Raj looks baffled.
"Same, but it's easier to get water as we can talk now. Aren't you happy Noah is gone after all that's happened?" Mary brings the conversation to a game orientated one to the surprise of no one.
"I feel bad actually." Raj admits. "I hope Emma can pay off her student debt."
Mary holds in a sigh. "I suppose I can relate to Emma, I struggled with paying for my school too. But it isn't about that, it's about Noah being a threat to our games in the post merge portion if he made it there. We avoided that, and avenging my good friend Bowie was great too."
"I guess. I still wonder if going for a Green Team member like Josee would have been better." Raj shrugs.
"They'll be targets once the merge hits, so don't worry." Mary assures as they get the buckets back to camp. After a pause, Mary turns away. "Anyways, I'll be right back. Gonna walk around some more."
"Alright, see you soon."
As Mary walks away, someone who was watching follows her. She begins digging in the dirt after a walk. "I need to move this…" she mutters to herself.
Confessional: Mary
"I wish he was more angry at Noah, it'd make it to where we could bond more over his elimination. I'm kind of getting frustrated…"
Conf end
Confessional: Raj
"I don't want to say it… but I don't know about Mary! Tammy and I have talked about it before, but something just feels ingenuine to me. Noah calling her an eel doesn't help."
Conf end
Confessional: Scott
"Mary really should've been more careful on who was watching her…" Scott says before pulling out the exact paper that Mary used for the chart scandal. "I'm going to make sure she goes home, I have proof now!"
Conf end
Day 80
Cut to challenge
We see the Water Team walk in with six members strong, smiles on everyone's faces as they anticipate who got eliminated. Once they're settled in, the Fire and Earth Teams walk in. "Getting your first look at the new Fire Team… Noah was voted out at the last elimination."
Confessional: Sammy
"How did no one from the Green Team go home? Nichelle was right there people, even Josee would've been nice!"
Conf end
"Alright, it's time for your next challenge. I'm going to go ahead and raise the stakes a little here… this is the final pre merge challenge!" Chris announces, causing everyone to gasp and look excited.
"Hell yeah, I can't wait for my first merge!" Nichelle looks confident in herself.
"Only one more person is going to miss out on the final stage of the game, winning immunity guarantees that the unlucky soul in that position won't be you, so try your best. Anyways, your challenge is going to be very simple. On my go, one member from each team will run across pads in the water, where you'll try not to fall as that will waste time. Once you make it to your team's platform, you will climb a ladder and grab a hammer. When you jump off, you will swing your hammer at a ball, which will release a key. You'll retrieve your key and swim back to shore, where the next person will go. Once you have all three keys, you must unlock a chest. In that chest are puzzle pieces where one member of the team will solve a puzzle. The first two teams to solve this puzzle make it to the merge and are in the final 13. The losers will see me tonight where someone will be the 87th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate. All of the Fire Team must compete by default, but the Earth and Water Team must choose two and three sit outs respectively."
We see both of the bigger teams huddle.
"Who's sitting out?" Chris asks. Staci and Tammy raise their hands for Earth, while MK, Cody, and Millie raise their hands for Water. "Sit outs, take a seat on the bench, we'll get started!"
Confessional: Lightning
"This is so big, Lightning needs redemption after All Stars! He's making the merge, sha-bam!"
Conf end
Confessional: Scott
"Three for three merges? That sounds so exciting!"
Conf end
Confessional: Raj
"Three for three merges? That sounds so exciting… I hope Scott didn't just say the exact same thing!"
Conf end
Confessional: Mary
"It's the last challenge before the merge? Interesting, very interesting..."
Conf end
We see Sammy, Raj, and Shawn lined up for their team. "Ready… go!" Chris yells, causing the trio to run off onto the water pads. Shawn and Raj are breezing by, while Sammy is behind the two. She slips into the water once, causing Nichelle to laugh. Shawn is the first to his platform. He breaks the red ball, and grabs the key while falling into the water. Raj is shortly behind, but he has to swim around to find his key before continuing. After twenty seconds, Sammy does the same.
"Go, Nichelle!" Shawn urges as he makes it back to the beach.
"I got it, let's go!" Nichelle cheers as she sprints out. While she passes Sammy, Sammy splashes water in her face. "Hey!"
"She didn't fall, but it was worth a shot…" Sammy mutters to herself as Raj makes it back and Mary is next for the Earth Team. Nichelle is so quick that she makes it to her platform by the time Sammy gets back to the beach and Chet goes next. Chet begins to catch up to Mary, as she wasn't picked for this challenge due to her running by any means. Both keep falling into the water though.
"You better win this, Chet!" Lightning cheers before looking at Sammy. "You're a cheerleader girl, you cheer for him too!"
"C-H-E-T, if you catch up to her, we'll all party! C-H-E-T-"
"Nichelle is here and back with her key!" Nichelle finishes the cheer as she makes it back. "Finish strong, Josee!"
"Of course I will, I always do." Josee says before heading out. Mary and Chet both jump off their platforms at the same time. While Mary is able to quickly get her key from underwater, Chet struggles.
"Uh, I can't find my key!" Chet panics.
"You better find it or I'm going to drown you!" Lightning yells.
"I doubt Chet can drown, he looks like a flotation device." MK comments. Tammy overhears this from her bench and gives an annoyed huff.
Josee laps both Chet and Mary, but Chet does end up finding his key. "Open the chest!" Josee commands as she makes it to shore. They unlock their chest and get their puzzle pieces. "Who wants to work on it?"
"Allow me!" Nichelle smirks as she takes charge.
Mary makes it to shore. "Scott, go."
"I know." Scott sneers before running quickly.
"Chet, you better hurry up!" Lightning shouts as he swims closer and closer. "Why are we so far behind?"
"We're not out of it yet, don't worry." Sammy says.
"Yeah, because I haven't gone yet."
Scott retrieves his key by the time Chet is back, but Lightning's fast running across the pads is a motivator for Scott to swim quickly, quicker than anyone expected.
Confessional: Scott
"I worked on my swimming… you never know if a shark will be nearby."
Conf end
"I'm done!" Nichelle announces as the camera cuts back, this being a complete breeze for the Fire Team.
"The Fire Team is safe and have made it to the merge! It's just down to the Earth and Water Teams!" Chris says. The Fire Team trio have a group hug, clearly excited about this. We see Scott make it to shore, which allows the Earth Team to begin unlocking their chest.
"We don't have much time, the Water Team is gaining on us!" Scott looks at Lightning who is quickly swimming their way.
"I got this." Mary says with confidence as she begins to assemble the puzzle.
"You got this Mary, hoot hoot!" Raj cheers her on. Mary slowly puts pieces together as Lightning makes it.
"Sammy, do the puzzle!" Lightning yells.
"I'll do it." Sammy nods, wanting to get herself back into the game. Sammy begins taking the pieces out as Mary puts two incorrect pieces together.
"Um, aren't you good at puzzles?" Scott asks.
"Sorry, I just made a mistake." Mary frowns.
"Those two obviously wouldn't fit, hurry up!"
Mary rolls her eyes as she gets back to work. Sammy begins to make good progress. "Go Sammy, you're catching up!" Cody encourages.
"Water Team for the win!" Millie adds.
Mary drops a puzzle piece. "Oops, my hands are still wet." she apologizes as she continues to put pieces together.
"Come on!" Scott kicks the sand in anger.
"This isn't going well." Tammy frowns.
"Well, looked like we're more fucked than-"
"And the Water Team wins immunity and have all made it to the merge!" Chris announces, causing them all to cheer. "Earth Team, you've lost, which means that someone is going to miss out on this very important stage of the game, sucks to be you! You have until tonight to determine who that unlucky soul is."
"We had a good lead, what happened?" Raj frowns.
"I'm sorry guys, I think the pressure got to me." Mary sighs in response.
Confessional: Cody
"I'm so glad we won! I wouldn't mind if we can make it to the final six somehow."
Conf end
Confessional: Scott
"That was one of the worst challenge performances I've seen! Good thing she's going home tonight, I'm going to expose that bitch and make sure of it. There isn't enough room in the merge for both of us."
Conf end
Confessional: Mary
"Yeah, I threw that challenge. No way I was going to lose a puzzle challenge. The instant I heard that this was the last pre merge challenge, I know I need to take the opportunity to get rid of my last real big enemy before he can go around and screw it all up for me. Scott, it's your day to go, as there isn't enough room in the merge for both of us."
Conf end
Cut to Earth Team
We see Scott grabbing papers by himself.
…
We cut to the Outcasts gathered around in a circle. "Again, I'm really sorry about what happened, I tried my best." Mary frowns.
"Yeah…" Tammy mutters. "It's fine."
"So, Scott must go. I can't say it's a shame after the slanderous accusations he's made towards me, but he played well." Mary says. "We're all locked in, right?"
"Yup." Raj nods awkwardly. "Uh, I need to go to the bathroom. Be right back!"
Confessional: Raj
"I need to go back to that tree I saw a few days ago."
Conf end
Confessional: Tammy
"Despite what I said, I'm not locked in. I don't like Scott, but I know exactly where he stands at this point. Mary is a snake, I'm ready to make a move to take her out… seems like everytime I'm on a team of five, I begin to orchestrate a 3-2 blindside!"
Conf end
We see Raj run up to that tree. "I knew it!" he cheers as he grabs an idol from inside it. He quickly pockets it, but seconds later, Scott walks up to Raj.
"You need to come with me." Scott says.
"Uh, why?"
"All of you are going to need to see this."
…
We cut to Staci, Tammy, and Mary at the campfire. "I hate eliminations…" Tammy sighs. "They always suck."
"Nah, we can get rid of people who suck, like Tay- Scott!" Staci replies.
"Right. Anyways, I'm going to go-"
"You should stay right there." Scott says while he and Raj walk in.
Tammy sits back down with a confused look. "Why?"
"I needed to gather all of you to show you something." Scott says coldly.
"A fake idol you crafted so we won't vote for you?" Mary asks with boredom dripping from her tone.
"Nope, it's about you!" Scott says before pulling out the papers. Mary has a shocked look while the others gasp. "I found Mary digging around and pulling out paper. Doesn't this look exactly like the paper that Courtney's chart had?"
"It does…" Raj mutters as he looks towards Mary.
"Saying that you saw me digging is hardly any evidence." Mary regains her bearings to defend herself.
"I was watching you and Raj's conversation yesterday. Raj, when Mary said she was taking a walk, she was actually just getting the paper-"
"Do you have any evidence of this at all?" Mary taps her foot on the ground. "Baseless accusations mean nothing."
"Of course I don't have concrete evidence, there aren't security cameras for me to show you." Scott replies. "But I said that you framed Courtney, and the papers are here at camp!"
"Courtney could've just left them." Mary shrugs. Tammy is giving this a look of thought, though her eyes keep darting back between Scott and Mary. "Also none of you should believe this, framing people is a textbook Scott strategy. We all know what he did to Dawn in Revenge of the Island, now he's trying to do the same to me. For all we know, those papers could even be his and he framed Courtney as revenge for All Stars."
"There's no way that you think I'm that stupid! Dawn was actively targeting me, Courtney was my #1 ally. I wouldn't put myself in trouble with zero benefit." Scott growls.
"Your whole gameplay revolves around sabotaging your teams Scott, I'm just stating the facts." Mary responds. "You need to stop blaming me for whatever you or Courtney did, it's quite embarrassing at this point."
"What's embarrassing is how you even managed to get this far, you're the most transparent schemer here. Raj and Tammy, you two need to vote her out tonight. She has Staci as her loyal pawn who will do whatever she says, and she got Courtney eliminated." Scott says, causing Raj and Tammy to give each other looks of consideration.
"I didn't do anything to Courtney. Also Raj and Tammy, I didn't form an alliance with you guys to use you as pawns or have you on the bottom like Scott and Courtney did. He's just upset that his mistreatment of you two has caught up to him." Mary says, causing Scott to grind his teeth out of frustration.
"Where did you see her dig?" Tammy asks out of the blue.
"Come with me, I'll show you." Scott says, leading the group to Mary's digging spot. Once they're there, he points to it. "Here."
"I have seen her around here a lot…" Tammy mutters.
"We've all been here a lot, it means nothing." Mary plays it off. "Scott, I-"
"Mary, I'm not going to let you lie any longer." Scott cuts her off. "We need to work against Staci and Mary-"
"You need to work on shutting up, haha!" Staci laughs.
"You're completely unworthy of being here, be quiet." Scott glares at Staci.
"I can talk if I want, so no!"
"What do we do?" Raj whispers to Tammy.
"I-"
"Raj, Tammy, can we talk in private?" Scott asks once he and Staci stop arguing.
"I don't think you should go with him, he's just going to spread lies-" Mary says before Raj interrupts.
"We aren't just going to deny him the chance to talk." he says.
"Yeah, we can talk to whoever we want." Tammy adds as the trio walks off. Mary sighs in frustration as she and Staci stand around.
"Do you think they're flipping?" Staci asks.
"Both are susceptible to manipulation, so there is some potential. I need to ask a favor of you." Mary says.
"If it's to become a plastic surgeon and fix your nose, I can't do that, haha!" Staci laughs. Mary somehow doesn't punch her in the face.
"No. You need to tell Raj and Tammy this to keep them on our side."
Confessional: Staci
"Haha, why does Scott think I'm a follower? Anyways, time to go tell Raj and Tammy what Mary told me to."
Conf end
Confessional: Mary
"Annoying that he found my paper? Yes. Will it affect the result? No. Tammy and Raj are nice people, but they can easily be swayed back with fear."
Conf end
"I'm in to vote for Mary, we'll just have to pretend that we don't like what you said to us just now." Tammy gives a thumbs up. "She's been suspicious to me."
"Good, thanks for listening." Scott smiles.
"Sure thing." Raj nods as they part ways. In a matter of seconds though, Staci walks up to them.
"Hi! Did you know my great great aunt Lori hates farmers? I do too, so we are voting for Scott, right?" Staci asks.
"Yup." Tammy confirms. "He was telling us to vote for Mary, we just went along with it."
"I sure hope you're lying! If you two backstab Mary or I, the one who survives is going to go to the other teams and make it our sole mission to ruin your games by targeting you two, ya!" Staci says, causing the duo to flinch.
"Uh… what?" Raj gets out.
"I'm just saying, your game will be ruined if you betray us! I'm sure the Water Team would be worried about everyone else targeting them, one of us could just give them a majority and get them to target you if you backstab us!" Staci laughs.
"We aren't going to backstab you." Tammy says.
"I know, but I'm just saying in case you thought about it." Staci replies before walking off. Raj and Tammy turn to each other with worried looks.
"Did she just threaten us?!" Raj asks.
"I think she did!" Tammy replies. "That makes this more complicated…"
"Do you think the Water Team is actually united enough for them to try and all stick together in the merge?" Raj questions.
"Probably not, but the Fire Team is a big problem. Everyone knows about their alliance. If Staci blatantly targets us, they'll jump on board. Josee would want me out. And if the Water Team does stick together, I think MK would gladly target us if Staci pushed for it." Tammy worries. "Do you have any friends on the other teams?"
"I was on a team with Lightning and Cody. We got along, but my closest friend was Tyler." Raj rubs his forehead. "I feel like they could've made new friends by now."
"This is just frustrating." Tammy groans. "Should we just abandon the Mary plan so we have less people targeting us at the merge?"
Confessional: Raj
"I have a bad feeling about Mary. Things came out today, but not in the good way! I don't want Staci or Mary to lead an assault on our games at the merge. What are we even supposed to do here, it's not like Scott is trustworthy either, he was really mean in the past."
Conf end
Confessional: Tammy
"I am walking on a tightrope here. Staci basically threatening us makes blindsiding Mary risky. Maybe it could be better to just have the Outcasts merge together and go from there." Tammy takes a deep breath. "But if she really was the one who drew that chart, it shows how smart she can be."
After a pause, she continues. "I got along with Sammy back on the Emerald Team, but what if she's not doing well over there and relying on her to bat for me won't be an option? Lightning and I have some deal, but he's proven that he'd not help people who have helped him before. There are so many risks to weigh, including my idol. If Staci targets me, I can use it, but that would only save me for one round, and I doubt I can win many immunities." After another pause, Tammy shouts out of stress.
Conf end
Cut to Earth Team at the campfire ceremony
"Welcome Earth Team to the final pre merge elimination. You have seen 86 fellow total drama players outcast of this game over the past 80 days, all for a chance of getting that glory. 4 of you will be in the lucky batch that managed to merge, one of you will not. Get voting to see who that unfortunate soul is!"
Voting
"I know I'm safe tonight, but I appreciate your attempt to give me a challenge. I put in a little more effort today. I was too many steps ahead though." Mary holds her vote for Scott.
"You think you're running the show, but I hope you're in for a really rude awakening." Scott holds his vote for Mary.
Staci quickly writes down a name.
Tammy slowly writes down a name.
Raj puts his vote in the voting urn.
Voting Over
"If anyone has found a hidden immunity idol and wants to use it, now would be the time to do so…"
…
…
…
"Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the campfire ceremony immediately. I'll read the votes."
…
"1st vote… Mary."
Mary doesn't react.
"2nd vote… Scott. 1 vote Mary, 1 vote Scott."
Scott glares at Mary.
"3rd vote… Scott. That's 2 votes Scott, 1 vote Mary."
Raj and Tammy look at each other.
…
…
"87th person voted out of Total Drama Ultimate… Scott. That's 3, that's enough. It's time for you to go."
…
Scott slowly turns towards Tammy and Raj. "You two seriously lied to me?"
"Sorry, that's the game." Tammy frowns.
"Good game." Mary says.
"Oh shut it! You better not win this game!" Scott growls.
"Jinkies…"
Scott gets up and walks away, but before he is fully out of their sight, he turns to the group. "Oh yeah, and Tammy has an idol. I saw it myself when searching through everyone's things to try and find dirt on Mary. Good luck!" he says before walking off, causing everyone to turn to Tammy.
Confessional: Tammy
"Ughhh, he just exposed my idol when I didn't even want him gone! I hope the others don't spread the word when we merge tomorrow. As for Mary, she has definitely made herself a threat after everything she's pulled. But it made more sense to just go into the merge with no enemies, I doubt anyone will even target the Earth Team for a while. No use in having Staci against me to keep someone like Scott who isn't trustworthy either."
Conf end
Confessional: Mary
"I managed to get rid of all of my clear enemies like Scott and Noah." Mary says before letting out a peaceful sigh. "With the Outcasts alliance- after I do some damage control- and all the clear targets heading into the merge, I can definitely see myself reaching the end of this game. It should be smooth sailing from here."
Conf end
We cut to Chris alone at the campfire. "After 41 episodes of chaos, the pre merge is finally over. The remaining 13 players will go to a new camp and start over, where over the next 11 episodes, 12 of their dreams will be crushed. Who will have what it takes to make it to the end and win? Find out on the remaining episodes of Total Drama Ultimate!"
And that's that! Why did this take a while? I've been writing the DCAS alternate universe on AO3, and tbh I'm just very down on this story now with how I handled stuff which doesn't help in the motivation department. But like I said, this will finish!
Scott- Unfortunately as both Scott and Mary said, there isn't enough room in the merge for both of them! Scott was a very engaging player with how he navigated his bad position on his first two teams, but I'd say despite his pre merge status, he filled his role well. The Forgiveness Alliance stuff was added last second to make his obvious lack of new storylines seem like apparent. If he merged, he would've just continued the stuff with Mary, so I'm fine cutting him here. I hope his elimination was a good boost for Mary.
