Episode 3!
Guest- I get your POV, but there's a reason I decided to post it here, it will just take a bit to be revealed.
RockTheSillyGoose- Fiore was the only other realistic option I fear. Hunter's hatred of Fiore was funny in canon, it had to stay
Dunsparce- Correct about the VA and love triangle, we'll see what changes.
Lecueva- I decided to make the dramatic tiebreaker stuff so Fiore would get her moment and have something to her name here.
Hajime17- Hello! I hope it turns out good.
Alberta Jhon- You'll see soon
anna-xd- Thank you
natalieaddisionstark- Rock paper scissors is iconic
With that, onto the episode.
Recap
"Last time on Disventure Camp: All Stars… the teams got acquainted, while a torrential rainstorm soaked all their camps. Magenta Team managed to evade getting wet thanks to Ally's pro gamer move. But the other teams weren't so clever. Our first challenge of the season was a frolicking game of football, but with wild animals. During which Alec convinced Jake that there was something going on between Tom and Aiden. This led to Jake confronting James about his partner cheating on him, which went about as well as you'd expect. This led to a battle of the generations, where Ashley, Jake, and Fiore targeted James, and Ally, James, and Hunter voted for Fiore due to her physical weakness. Despite managing to bait James into a luck tiebreaker by stirring the pot of the Tom situation further, she still lost out on rock paper scissors, meaning an early goodbye for everyone's favorite demon child! 17 are left, who will be voted out tonight?"
Intro
Cut to Magenta Team
We see the Magenta Team quietly enter camp together after the vote, the awkwardness being clear. Jake and Ashley split up from the others as the season two trio talk amongst themselves. "Alright guys, we did it! Fiore is gone and now we can send Jake home-" James tries to celebrate, but Ally isn't in a pleasant mood.
"What the hell were you doing, James?" Ally snaps, causing Hunter and James to look at her with confusion. "We had Fiore dead to rights, and you decided to take her on in a luck based tiebreaker? You could've gone home today!"
James stutters a bit before getting a sentence out, though he looks annoyed. "Why are you getting so mad at me? I won, and if I lost, you wouldn't be the one going home."
"I wouldn't be going home, but I'd be next on the chopping block if the season one players took control. You're very lucky." Ally glares at him.
"Ally, calm down. He made a mistake, but it didn't matter. Fiore couldn't win rock paper scissors if she had a thousand chances, that's how much she sucks at challenges. We're good, and we're in the majority just like in season two. That's good, right?" Hunter tries to brighten the mood.
"I don't really want things to be like season two where we have a majority and lose it to dumb mistakes." Ally replies, sounding on the verge of tears despite the successful vote an hour prior. "You know how hard it was after our season, I don't want to go back to the outside world and have to scroll through nonstop hate messages like that again!"
Hunter lets out a long sigh. "Whatever." is all he replies before he and Ally walk away from each other in annoyance, leaving James to look bewildered.
Confessional: James
"Ally got really upset with me after the vote, and…" James sighs. "I guess she has a point. I pulled a Jake and got emotional at Fiore. But what she said about the haters was interesting. I wasn't aware she got it so bad after season two, she was really inoffensive to me."
Conf end
Confessional: Ally
"Sometimes I feel like Hunter doesn't try to understand me at all."
Conf end
Confessional: Hunter
"She is so concerned with what others think! Does it not matter what I think?"
Conf end
Elsewhere, we see Jake biting his nails and pacing around while Ashley looks worried. "Ashley, I'm so stupid! I'm so sorry about this, now I'm going next and you'll follow me out the door! I didn't want to ruin this experience for you, I-"
"Jake, you're freaking out more than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs, calm down!" Ashley snaps. "This wasn't your fault. Whether you got angry at James or not, we would be in the minority. I feel like we were doomed to fail once those three and Fiore were put on the same team, they were always going to vote for her and she was never going to win a regular tiebreaker. I should have baited them into voting for me or something, and then we could've voted Ally so I could win us a tiebreaker…"
"You don't deserve to put yourself in that danger, Ashley." Jake sighs before sitting down, finally slowing down his movement. "And even though it's not my fault we're in the minority, I just feel horrible. What if nothing was going on between Tom and Aiden? I just let my emotions guide me again."
"Jake, there's no changing the past, let's take a moment and assess the situation before moving forward though." Ashley assures. "If you don't mind me asking, why did you believe Tom and Aiden were a thing? I had no idea they were close, but it's not like I kept in contact with Tom after our season."
"Well… Alec told me Tom was replacing me with Aiden." Jake sheepishly answers.
"I- do you trust Alec?" Ashley asks in confusion.
"Not at all, it's just very unusual to me." Jake rubs his arm.
"Well, I can try and help you get to the bottom of this if it makes you feel better. But more importantly, we have to do something to flip one of them, we can't be sitting ducks." Ashley says with fire, though not the kind that killed her horses.
"What can we do? It's hopeless!" Jake cries out.
"It seemed hopeless for many players, but they dug themselves out of those holes." Ashley states. "I would say we should go to James with the pitch of flipping on an obvious couple, but he probably knows that we've gotten close, so he'd be on the bottom either way and wouldn't have a real incentive to flip. You annoying him doesn't help matters."
"Sorry again…"
"I said it's fine Jake, no need to keep apologizing. But I think I have an idea." Ashley's eyes light up.
"What is it?" Jake inquires.
"You're gonna have to get your acting chops on, because we need to pretend that we're drifting apart or having a growing dislike for each other." Ashley says, causing Jake to look baffled.
"How does that help?"
"James flipping to another tight duo gives him no incentive to join us. James flipping to a divided duo would make him feel that he's not on the bottom. I can bond with James and make it seem like that we'd be the power duo instead of you and I." Ashley states. "We just need to give him a reason to see us as not close, which means we won't be able to talk as much in front of the others."
Jake tenses up. "You won't abandon me and use this as a reason to not talk to me before voting me out, will you?"
Ashley sighs. "I get why you'd be worried since we only became tight two days ago, but it's for the greater good. I'm always loyal to those who are loyal to me, I didn't betray Will or Lill last time."
Jake nods slowly. "I guess you're right. I'm just really scared after last night, please forgive me."
"I get it Jake, no harm done." Ashley says. "Let's make a plan. First off, you need to apologize to James soon. As for us drifting apart…"
Confessional: Jake
"I'm worried that making James think that I annoyed Ashley will just give more reason for him to vote me out, but I'm probably getting his vote anyways. Might as well hope this hail mary works."
Conf end
Confessional: Ashley
"The feeling I had after getting back to camp was the same one I had after Nick was eliminated in season one. That feeling of hopelessness and knowing that another challenge loss or two would send me home is the worst. Weird how it's because of Fiore leaving and not her staying this time." Ashley notes. "Whatever, time to kick this into overdrive!"
Conf end
Cut to Cyan Team
The next day, we cut to an outside shot of the Cyan Team's tent with a passing storm. Everyone is huddled in the tent. "Is this rain ever going to let up?" Aiden asks with despair in his voice, not being a fan of the rain.
"I think the worst is over, the sky is a little less gray." Ellie replies.
"Well once the rain clears, I can try to get a fire going." Tom says to boost morale.
"I can help with that! I learned a trick in the woods while Hunter and I were stranded last season." Lake offers her assistance.
"We couldn't have earned this reward at a better time." Tess inputs.
"I know, this waterproof tent is spectacular! I wonder how the others are doing." Gabby ponders. A smile grows on her face. "Hopefully not too well, it'd make them easier to beat!"
"I hope the Magenta Team is doing well at least." Aiden says.
"I wonder why." Tom gives a small teasing smirk.
"Shut up." Aiden rolls his eyes in response, though he clearly isn't serious about it as his smile shows.
"Speaking of Magenta, who do you guys think got voted out?" Ellie asks to make conversation.
"It has to have been Fiore, right? No way they'd be stupid enough to keep a relationship ruining schemer for this long after all they saw in season one." Tom says, though the sentence has clear shade towards a certain member of the team.
"Fuck you too…" Ellie mutters quietly.
"What did you say Ellie?" Tess asks.
"Nothing, my throat just hurts a little." Ellie coughs to sell her lie.
"Is that why you sound raspier this season? I had some cough drops on the plane, if we were allowed to take our things with us, I'd give you one." Lake says with concern.
"I'm fine, but thanks I guess… I'd be fine with Fiore going too." Ellie decides to give some actual input.
"I hope it's Ally!" Gabby says.
"Why?" Tess crosses her arms.
"I punched her last challenge… my mom said karma comes around quickly, I don't want her to get revenge." Gabby explains worriedly.
"Fair, she can give a mean falcon punch." Tess laughs, though everyone gives her unamused looks at being a grown adult saying that. "What? Ally tells me about falcon punches constantly when we call each other. Anyways, as long as it isn't Hunter or Ally gone, I'm happy."
"Same here but with James." Aiden inputs. The team falls into a silence, just waiting for the rain to pass so Tom and Lake can start the fire.
Cut to Yellow Team
As the only team with no protection from the rain, Yellow is doing about as well as you'd expect. Everyone except Alec is shivering in the cold tent. "Where's Alec?" Connor asks through chattering teeth, bringing attention to the missing man.
"He went out to look for breakfast." Miriam responds.
"In the rain?" Connor asks with a hint of surprise.
"He probably doesn't want to squeeze in here with the rest of us. Guy's an introvert." Grett explains, having first hand knowledge of him from season one.
"It's not like we're very dry here anyway." Miriam crankily responds.
"Ugh… we have to win the next challenge. We cannot lose any more rewards!" Riya complains.
"What happened to coming prepared? Where's your waterproof fur coat." Yul smirks, though this wasn't a wise idea, as Riya grabs his hair and threatens to punch him.
"You want to say that again, wise guy?"
"Ah! Let go of me you has been!"
"First warning." Riya glares.
This argument is the last straw of Connor's patience through this tough day, as he intervenes. "Enough, both of you! I get we're all stressed, but I will not allow fighting."
"Excuse me? Who died and made you the king of fighting?" Yul asks with an annoyed look.
"I agree with the brat, I'm not your daughter!" Riya adds in a rare team up for this evil duo.
"Then quit acting like a child!" Connor storms out of the tent. Miriam watches him leave before giving a stern look to Riya.
"You should apologize to him." Miriam advises, though Riya's eye roll shows that she doesn't agree.
"Why should I?"
"Because he's the only one here willing to put up with your crap." Miriam replies, earning a scoff from Riya.
"I agree with the hag, good thing her dementia hasn't gotten so bad that she can't tell how stupid you-" Yul cuts himself off with the zestiest scream known to man as Miriam throws a stick at his face, causing him to fall to the floor. Riya points and laughs at him, but another stick throw from Miriam knocks her to the ground too.
Grett looks shocked before raising her hands up. "I said nothing, don't throw one at me!"
"I'm shocked you've been so quiet, you would never shut up back on our season." Miriam replies.
"It's been years hun, let it go." Grett sighs before giving a stern look. "Don't throw anything at Yul's face again though, he needs that."
"What am I, chopped liver?" Riya asks from the ground. Grett ignoring her is answer enough as the scene cuts to Connor outside of the tent. As he is walking away, Alec is walking back to the main camp.
"What happened? I heard shouting." Alec asks, giving Connor full permission to let his frustrations out.
"It's like handling a bunch of kindergarteners. I can understand Yul behaving like this, but Riya? I thought she'd know better." Connor complains.
"Maybe that's just who she is." Alec replies.
"I know Riya. She's sweet and kind… and I trust her with my life. But this persona that comes out every time she's on camera, it's not who she is." Connor disagrees.
"Then what's wrong with her?" Alec asks, wanting to get more info on his teammates.
"She's under a lot of stress. And I know it's because of her on screen reputation and all that. I try to be understanding, but she makes it really hard." Connor looks sad.
"You can't make her change, Connor. Unless she wants to change, she'll always be this way." Alec replies while doing the gay wrist for some reason.
"How do you know? Are you a therapist?"
"No. But a while ago, someone I was close to tried to change who I was."
"And what happened?"
"I wasn't able to figure it out for myself until it was too late. No matter what she told me, I was always the same man she couldn't stand. It caused us to go our separate ways…" Alec seems reflective before he shakes his head and gets back to business. "Sorry Connor, I'm just trying to be honest with you."
Confessional: Alec
"Ever since I lost my season, I've rewatched it over and over to figure out what went wrong. I think my biggest mistake was relying too much on Fiore. Once I voted out Ellie, she was all I had. I need to branch out and make more connections."
Conf end
Cut to challenge
We see the Yellow and Cyan teams walking onto a dock for their next challenge. Once they get settled in, Kristal pipes up as the Magenta Team walks in. "Getting your first look at the new Magenta Team… Fiore voted out at the last elimination."
Confessional: Alec
"I can't say I didn't see that coming, though I did what I could-" Alec mutters before his eyes suddenly widen. "Erm… ignore the last part, talking to Jake wasn't for her or anything."
Alec takes a moment to compose himself before continuing. "But Fiore going is a wakeup call. People with big or villainous reputations like her are going to be targets, and that obviously will include me. I have to do something to prevent it."
Conf end
"Time to explain today's challenge! We've provided scuba gear for everyone. Once you're all dressed, you must enter the lake, where you'll find clues to a hidden treasure chest. The two teams that find the chests first and bring it to the surface will win immunity! And one more thing, the new marine life here can be a little dangerous. Put on your diving gear, and we'll get started!" Kristal explains, getting some worried looks about what marine life she could be referring to.
After a camera cut, we see Marcus passing out scuba gear. As he hands Riya her gear, the nervousness is evident, causing Connor to look on with concern. "Is everything okay Riya?"
"It's just that scuba diving didn't end so well for me last time." Riya shakes, the memories of being stuck in the previous season's finale still fresh in her mind.
"Oh, right." Connor remembers. "Don't worry, I'll be by your side this whole time!"
"Promise me that you won't leave me." Riya pleads with a genuine look.
"I won't, I promise." Connor smiles, soothing Riya's worries for the time being.
"I think we can split up and look for the clues. You two can go together" Grett points to Riya and Connor as she takes charge of the team. "I'll go with my darling Yul, and Alec can go with Miriam."
"Understood." Alec nods.
The camera cuts to Marcus giving James his gear. He puts the helmet on and strikes a pose. "How do I look, can I be a runway model?" he jokes to the team.
"That'd be one wild fashion show, I tell you what!" Ashley laughs in response, taking the opportunity to try and bond with him.
"You look like shit." Nina comments, causing Ashley and James to pause.
With another camera cut, the challenge is ready to begin. "I'll be waiting right here. The first two teams back with chests win immunity. Make use of those radios I generously provided so you can communicate with each other." Kristal says. "This challenge starts… now!"
Everyone jumps into the lake, and the teams gather up to talk strategy. "We should split up and search for clues. I can go with James, and Hunter can go with Ally and Jake." Ashley says.
"I'm very happy with those arrangements." James says before he and Ashley swim off.
"If you guys don't mind, I'll go alone. I'm sure the other teams have three separate groups searching, we can't have just two." Jake says.
"Do you think you can handle being by yourself?" Ally asks.
"I'm sure of it. Now let's win this challenge."
Confessional: Jake
"It's not just because we need more eyes in different places, going alone can give me the chance to try and figure things out with Tom!"
Conf end
Confessional: Hunter
"Good thing Jake can actually handle being on his own. Imagine if it was Fiore, she totally would get eaten by a shark because she's so weak at challenges!"
Conf end
We see the Cyan Team swimming around, and it doesn't take long for Tom to notice an open cave. "Oh, there might be something in there!" he points.
Aiden, who is nearby, has a nervous look as his eyes land to where Tom is pointing. "Fine, but I don't think moving rocks in scary dark tunnels ever ends well!" he crosses his arms.
"Be careful, it's dark in there!" Gabby warns as if Aiden didn't just point this out. Aiden and Tom swim into the cave, but just moments later, the girls hear a scream.
Lake isn't going to take this, so a determined look spreads on her face. "That's it, I'm going after them." Lake swims towards the cave. She doesn't even make it in, as a shark chasing Tom and Aiden barrels in front of her.
"Please tell me you're all okay…" Tess worries.
"Y-yeah, we're just uh… distracting the shark for you guys, haha! Head into the tunnel, there was a clue in there!" Tom nervously gives directions as he and Aiden continue swimming away.
"Come on girls!" Ellie leads the ladies into the darkness as the camera cuts to Connor and Riya.
"Connor, I see something under that rock!" Riya points.
"Let's go." Connor smiles.
"I can't, it's too dark!" Riya recoils.
Connor nods. "Don't worry, stay here. I'll be right back." Connor swims away to get the clue. Riya pants nervously as he's away, and things won't get any better when an eel gets near her. She lets out a loud scream and swims away. Connor hears this and manages to swim towards Riya and block the eel with his oxygen tank. Unfortunately, that means he must swim back up. "Guys, I found a clue."
"Great. Bring it here." Alec says.
"I can't, my oxygen tank broke." Connor frowns.
"Nice going gramps, can you tell us what it says?" Yul angrily asks while Grett looks just as mad beside him.
"Yeah, it's a drawing of seaweed. That must be where the next clue is." Connor responds.
"Let's hustle people!" Grett shouts as she and Yul and Alec and Miriam split up. The camera cuts to Riya and Connor sitting on the dock, not doing the challenge as Connor can't do it without dying!
"Connor…" Riya starts.
"Yeah?"
"Thank you for saving me, and standing by my side. I know I've been mistreating you again, and I'm sorry for that too." Riya apologizes.
"You're trying, and that's all I can ask. I'll always be there for you." Connor puts a hand on her back. Riya breaks the tender moment to push him away.
"I need to be honest. At the very least, you deserve that." Riya gives a stern look.
"What is it?"
"I know you came back to the show for me, and I really like you, Connor. But I came here to win. I don't want there to be any more confusion." Riya says. Connor lets out a worried 'oh' before Riya continues. "I've been trying to push you away because I thought it'd hurt less when… look, you have to stay away from me."
"But why?" Connor frowns.
"I don't want to hurt you anymore, can't you see? You're a good man Connor, but in order to win this game, I can't keep trying to go down the honorable path. That's not how this industry works." Riya replies.
"I thought you wanted to be better, that's why you came back!" Connor looks angry.
Riya gives a serious look. "Well, you thought wrong." Connor's spirits drop even more. "We shouldn't be each other's burdens anymore, we need to take some time apart."
"Is that all I am to you, a burden?" Connor's heartbreak can be heard in his tone.
"It's over. I'm sorry. I hope you can respect me enough to keep playing the game together, but we can't be anything more than that." Riya lays down the law, causing Connor to hang his head down.
Confessional: Connor
"Well… I guess that's that."
Conf end
Confessional: Riya
"Seeing Connor protect me from that eel brought out a side of me that I don't want to see again… I do hope he's okay. He's still a vote I can use."
Conf end
"It's a drawing of seaweed." Lake reads the clue.
"Oh, I know where that is! Follow me!" Ellie guides the team, and the girls swim as Gabby cheers about how they're going to win.
Tess smiles at the unity. "Wow, it's like we're one happy family."
"Agreed, Tess. In fact, I was just thinking… what would you guys think of a girls alliance?" Ellie asks.
"I'd consider it." Tess replies.
"Same here!" Lake replies with enthusiasm.
"My girlfriend is so smart!" Gabby adds, never missing the chance to praise Ellie.
"We all work so well together, and I can't say the same for Tom and Aiden." Ellie buries the guys. After some agreements by Tess, Gabby finds the next clue.
"It's a photo of the chest in a cave. Hm, that must be the last clue!" Gabby smiles.
"Alright girls, let's roll out! Go team go!" Lake cheers as the girls swim away.
Confessional: Ellie
"I had to form a girls alliance quickly, I already have a big enemy in Tom. Locking him out of potential allies is good for me."
Conf end
We cut to James and Ashley. "Can I ask you why you didn't go with Jake? Aren't the two of you tight?" James questions Ashley.
"Well after the vote, we got into a bit of an argument." Ashley frowns. "I don't think he's someone that I can trust to be my closest ally for the long haul if that makes sense."
"Of course it makes sense. He voted his own boyfriend out of season one, he'd do the same to any last person he got told a lie about." James rolls his eyes in response.
"I guess, though I think people deserve second chances, you would know" Ashley replies. Before James can respond, Ashley changes the subject. "Also, I just wanted to apologize about voting for you last night. I felt like that was my only move with how close you are to Hunter and Ally."
"It's okay Ashley, I know it wasn't personal from you. Though I wouldn't say I'm best friends with Hunter and Ally or anything." James responds.
"Oh, really? You guys were getting along a lot." Ashley looks shocked.
"We're friendly, but I never considered us some power trio." James shrugs as he looks for a clue. "I didn't even speak to Ally last season."
"Interesting…" Ashley mutters. "Wait, it's a clue!"
She picks it up. "There's a picture of seaweed, we gotta get going!"
The camera cuts away from them and to Jake, who is swimming alone and listening to instructions from Ashley. "Seaweed? I'm near some right now, let me check!" Jake looks in the seaweed and quickly finds a clue. "This clue says there's a chest in the cavern."
"Alright Jake, we're going to head there! Yeehaw!" Ashley cheers. Jake drifts by himself for a bit before he hears two voices.
"I'm so glad we avoided that shark, I thought we were going to die!" Aiden tells Tom as the duo swim by.
"Don't worry buddy, we're hard to kill!" Tom laughs.
"I know, but I'm tired of this show giving me near heart attacks every challenge." Aiden sighs while forcing out a small laugh of his own. "It really makes me anxious, I still have nightmares about season two."
Tom frowns, relating to his friend. "I'm sorry to hear that, I've been there. But if you need to talk to someone about those anxieties, I'm always here."
Confessional: Jake
"He said similar things to me in our season about how I could always talk to him! That must mean- ah, shut up Jake!" Jake slaps himself in the forehead. "But could it be true- stop thinking about it, Jake!" he rephrimends himself again.
Conf end
We see a meeting of two teams as Ashley and James swim into Ellie, Tess, Lake, and Gabby.
"Hi!" Gabby greets.
"Howdy!" Ashley smiles.
"James, how are you guys?" Lake questions.
"We're good, we're just finding the cavern." James replies.
"How about we all work together?" Tess suggests right away. "That way Yellow Team is up for elimination."
"Great thinking, Tess." Ellie smiles.
"I'm down, we can't afford another loss." Ashley nods. "We don't know if Hunter and Ally are there yet, so we need to try extra hard to get it."
"We're trying!" Ally shouts over the speaker, causing Ashley to look shocked as she wasn't sure if Ally was listening.
"Gee wiz…"
"Come on guys, there's no time to waste. Let's go!" Ellie says.
Confessional: Tess
"Like I said, Ally and Hunter are my main priorities. I'd rather be eliminated than see them go, so working together with Magenta was a no brainer."
Conf end
We cut to Miriam and Alec searching in the seaweed. "Now that we are alone, I want to ask… what were you saying to Jake in the previous challenge?" Miriam questions.
"Nothing important." Alec calmly replies.
"If I find out that you're trying to manipulate him, you'll have to answer to me. You hear?" Miriam threatens.
"You're getting worked up over nothing, what would I even manipulate him over?" Alec asks while using the gay wrist again for some reason.
"Oh, the clue!" Miriam conveniently finds it right next to her and doesn't answer Alec. "It's a chest in a cave," she tells the team.
The camera pans to Yul and Grett, who had just heard Miriam. "I see a cavern right there!" Yul points.
"Let's hustle." Grett nods, and the determined duo swim over. Unfortunately for them, they see Ally and Hunter ahead.
"We can't let them beat us." Yul glares at the couple.
"Weren't they your allies last time?" Grett questions.
"Please, I barely remember their names." Yul responds.
"Fair enough." Grett concedes. They aren't the only swimmers entering the cavern, as the James/Ashley/Ellie/Lake/Gabby/Tess six pack swim in too. "Crap, this is going to be a close race."
"Ashley, James, get over here!" Hunter yells. Everyone grabs a chest at the same time and swims out, but because of it being 4 vs 4 vs 2, Yellow Team falls behind quickly.
"Fuck my life, where is the rest of our team!" Yul screeches in anger. He has a right to be angry, as Magenta Team finishes first, while Cyan is second.
"Magenta and Cyan Teams are safe!" Kristal announces. "Yellow Team, luck was not on your side. Tonight, one of you will be the second person voted out of Disventure Camp All Stars!"
"Urgh, way to go!" Riya complains to Grett and Yul as they get onto the dock. "Not only did we not win a reward, but we're losing a member!"
"Oh shut the hell up, you're going home tonight you coward!" Yul growls.
"Oh, you'll be the one going home, Yul." Riya glares back.
"Someone needs to slap this girl upside the head!" Yul says before shoving Grett in front of Riya. "Grett, beat her ass!"
Grett and Riya look confused at each other as the camera fades away to an ad break.
Cut to Yellow Team
"We better be sending this wannabe home guys, she literally did nothing but cry the entire challenge.' Yul glares at Riya as the team walks in.
"It was one moment of weakness, I'm a valuable asset otherwise." Riya glares. "We should send you home instead!"
Yul screams in shock. "Exsqueeze me? There is no way you're throwing my name out, I do not deserve this!"
"Whichever of them goes, it will be a lot quieter…" Miriam mutters to Connor, expecting a laugh out of him. After multiple seconds of a blank look on his face, she nudges Connor, who takes a moment before nodding. Grett takes note of the lack of attention and narrows her eyes at him.
Confessional: Alec
"Riya and Yul clearly want to get rid of each other. I could just sit back and let it happen, as Miriam and I would be the swing votes in this situation, but I feel like going with a different approach that will help me in the long run."
Conf end
We cut to Riya and Connor by themselves. "You are voting with me to take out Yul, right?" Riya asks, though Connor just sighs in response.
"I thought you wanted us to take time apart. Why are you begging for my vote now?" Connor questions.
"I told you that we should still play strategically together." Riya crosses her arms in response.
Connor sighs again, something he's been doing a lot today. "I guess… you're lucky that it's Yul, otherwise I'm not sure I'd agree. I hope he goes home, I don't want a repeat of last time."
"Agreed." Riya nods. The duo separate, but as Riya walks off, Alec pops out of a bush, causing Riya to scream. "Were you just spying on me and trying to take my gig? We all know that I'm the spy because of my new movie-"
"Riya, I don't care. Just come with me." Alec rolls his eyes. Riya huffs, but walks along with him.
…
Elsewhere, Yul and Grett are talking. "Ugh, I cannot believe we have to rely on the old hag and that overrated, stupid, nerdy, ugly-"
"Ahem." Alec clears his throat, causing Yul to gasp in shock as he turns around to see Alec and Riya.
"I mean… Alec, hey buddy-"
"Yul, shut it." Riya holds her hand up. When Yul opens his mouth, Riya speaks over him. "When my hand is up, your mouth should be shut."
"You can't make me shut my mouth!"
"Guys, stop arguing!" Alec cuts the duo off with frustration etched all over him. "I wanted the four of us to speak here for a reason. We don't have all day because if Miriam or Connor catch us, we're screwed. This is a big deal, so-"
"Then just say it!" Grett yells.
"Okay, okay… as you guys saw, Fiore was voted out."
"That's what she gets for calling me ugly." Yul smirks.
"You may find it amusing, but I find it to be a problem. Notice how Fiore is a major villainous figure, her reputation must've tanked her game before it began. If we replaced her, I fear that the same would have happened to us. We need to form a villains alliance." Alec says, getting intrigued looks from the other three.
"Oh… interesting." Grett smirks.
"You want me to work with that Bollywood reject after she just threw my name out? Sorry pal." Yul shakes his head.
"You threw my name out first." Riya retorts.
"Want to know something else? Once a merge hits, your names will be thrown a lot more often. If we can make it to the merge and protect each other, we can be unstoppable." Alec responds.
"I think Alec has a point you two. The others will flock to Miriam and Connor in a way that they wouldn't do for us." Grett says, causing Riya and Yul to give more consideration. "I'm still worried. Even if we merge, wouldn't we get targeted?"
"I plan to add some more recruits from the other teams." Alec says.
"Who?"
"That can be discussed later. Anyways, are you guys in?"
"I am." Grett nods.
"Sure." Riya says, wanting to get the target off of her back.
"Fine." Yul agrees now that Grett is in.
"Excellent. Now, which of the two do we send home?" Alec questions.
"Connor." Yul says right away.
"What? Why not Miriam?" Riya asks.
"Connor is more annoying." Yul says right away.
"I'd go for Connor just because he seemed really upset after the challenge." Grett says. "His head doesn't seem that in the game anymore."
Confessional: Grett
"And because I don't want Riya to have that leverage of Connor being in the game, I know my darling Yul is thinking the same thing!"
Conf end
"What did you say to him?" Alec asks Riya.
"That we should take time apart." Riya rubs her arm.
"Well, I know a perfect way to get you to do that." Yul says before delivering his trademark laugh.
"I don't know, I still think we should consider Miriam." Alec says. "She has won before."
"Agreed, and she threw a stick at me!" Riya sides with Alec.
"It should be Connor." Grett narrows her eyes.
Confessional: Alec
"I was kind of bound to Miriam by virtue of not coming in with an obvious duo, but I also think that Connor and I have been making good progress. Miriam will definitely target me in the future, but if I want Grett and Yul to actually work with my alliance idea, I might have to sacrifice Connor to do it."
Conf end
Confessional: Grett
"I want Connor gone, but I don't want to become too pushy. What if they vote for Yul?"
Conf end
We see Alec walking to Miriam, who was sitting alone in the tent. "Where have you been?" Miriam asks.
"Yul and Riya have been making their cases to me, it's exhausting." Alec wipes the sweat off his forehead.
"Agreed, I'm glad one of those kids will be on that bus tonight." Miriam agrees. "Both of those duos expect us to vote with them, which one should we go with?"
"Erm… I think there is a change of plans." Alec states.
"What do you mean?" Miriam raises an eyebrow.
"You may not like who I suggest voting for, but it's what we have to do."
Confessional: Miriam
"Alec told me that the target was Connor! He's the least awful person on this team, I have no idea why Yul and Riya would apparently put their beef aside to vote for him, and why Alec is going along with it. There has to be something up with this, and I'm going to have to find out what it is…"
Conf end
In a similar vein, we see Riya walking up to Connor, who was sitting alone on a rock. "Hey Connor, I just want to reconfirm the vote." Riya smiles.
"Yul. I didn't forget."
"Nice." Riya gives a thumbs up. There is an awkward silence before Riya begins talking again, but the scene cuts out before we see what she says.
Cut to Yellow Team at the elimination
"Welcome Yellow Team! This was a narrow but tough loss for you lot, but it had to happen eventually. You all know the drill, so get voting!" Kristal gestures to the voting booth.
We see a quick cut of everyone voting before cutting back to the campfire.
"Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person with the most votes will have to leave immediately. First vote…"
…
"Yul."
"Whoever did that, you're going to pay!" Yul threatens, causing Riya to roll her eyes.
"2nd vote… Connor."
Connor frowns, not expecting this.
"3rd vote… Connor. That's two votes Connor, one vote Yul."
Connor looks at Grett and Yul, where Grett just shrugs in his direction.
"4th vote… Connor. That's three votes Connor, one vote Yul."
Connor looks stunned as Kristal pulls out the fifth vote.
"2nd person voted out of Disventure Camp All Stars… Connor. That's 4 and enough, it's time for you to go."
"Was that unanimous?" Connor raises his voice as he quickly stands up.
"Yes, it was!" Yul smirks. "Have fun in the retirement home!"
"Sorry Connor." Riya apologizes.
"Why did you even lie to me? You went up to me right before we came here to say we were voting Yul!" Connor glares.
"Plans change, don't be so bitter. It's just a game. We can betray each other in the game and still be friends outside of it." Riya tells him, though Connor just walks away without being willing to hear it. "Fine, be that way."
Miriam facepalms at this interaction as we see Connor board the bus of losers.
Confessional: Yul
"Byeeeee!" Yul sings with glee. "Now that he's gone, I have a feeling I'll run this game."
Conf end
Confessional: Alec
"It's not quite the result I wanted, but I'll allow Yul and Grett to get their way to show that I'll be loyal to this villains alliance squad. Now the Magenta and Cyan recruitment is my next step."
Conf end
Confessional: Miriam
"Like I said, this whole thing is fishy to me, but I had to vote for Connor so I wouldn't be singled out. I'll find a way to get to the bottom of whatever this is."
Conf end
And that's it! Sorry about a good amount of scenes being reused from canon, but I tried to add some extra stuff on Cyan and Yellow. Next episode will have the most diversity from canon as all teams are different from how they actually were in episode 4.
Connor- With some of the events changing, Yellow lost this episode, and the villains alliance had a different beginning. Unfortunately for Connor, this spelled his doom.
Questions:
1. Thoughts on our eliminated player?
2. What was your favorite scene this episode?
3. Who do you think is going out next?
Remaining:
Magenta- Jake, Ashley, Hunter, James, Ally
Cyan- Tess, Lake, Ellie, Gabby, Tom, Aiden
Yellow- Alec, Riya, Yul, Grett, Miriam
18th- Fiore- (Magenta)- 3-3, lost tiebreaker to James
17th- Connor- (Yellow)- 5-1
See you next time!
