Total Drama: Alejandro's All Star reunion

Request: "hi! i know you wrote this like forever ago but i was wondering if you could do a pt two? where Alejandro and reader see eachother again during all stars?"

💗Masterlist | WIP Page

In all honesty, you should have seen this coming at some point or another.

Running into any of the old castmates was very easy now that you've been connected with a majority of them.

And that included Alejandro.

Sure, you saw him at the finale, but this felt different.

For the first few days, you were able to avoid him pretty well.

After what happened last time, you didn't want any chance at getting close or vulnerable.

It's All-Stars, after all, so who knows what it will cost you this time when Alejandro decides to plot against you.

Unfortunately, he was just as persistent to talk to you.

"(Y/N)."

Fuck, here we go.

"As you are aware from the last time we saw each other, I wasn't totally honest."

"That's a fucking understatement." You snorted, earning a glare from him.

"Anyway," He said, "I'm sure by now you have watched the season and figured out why I did what I did. I-"

"Oh for fuck's sake, kicked me out." You said, crossing your arms, "You can fucking say it! You kicked me out!"

"Yes, well-"

"You kicked me out because you couldn't handle some god damn teasing from the others." You said, "It was a stupid fucking reason." You sighed, "But, I guess that comes with the territory of it being a game, doesn't it?"

"It was for protection."

"Ha, like you needed any. Everyone loved you. You had a working plan." You said, "It worked for Bridgette and LeShawna. It would've worke-"

"Except that my focus would slip and it risked everything." Alejandro paused, "So, I had to eliminate the risk."

Eliminate the risk

Eliminate the risk

Oh....oh.

Everything you remembered and watched about the season suddenly made much more sense.

You never actually considered the option that whatever was happening between him and you was in anyway real, especially a threat to Alejandro's standing.

After that, you tried your hardest to continue to keep your distance and guard up, waiting for a repeat.

Though, to your surprise, you found that Alejandro was just as hell bent on keeping you close.

Something about wanting to make amends for what happened last time.

For once, he seemed......sincere---which was a bit unsettling for a look on him.

Once the teams merged, you weren't surprised to find that he wanted to form an alliance.

Yeah, sure, that's what we'll call it.

"I guess I get it now," You grinned towards the confessional camera, "Besides, its not like I'm on my top game right now," You paused, "so, yeah, I get it." You then suddenly remembered that you were still in the confessional, "I mean not like I would give him the satisfaction of knowing that. His ego is already so big." You said.

The both of you knew what it really was: picking up where world tour left off

Though, it made it just as ironic that you made it further than him.

Especially since part of it was your fault, voting him out in a pact with Gwen, Courtney, and Scott.

You're sure that he understands.

Even if it meant that you went through the rest of the competition with the same lonely-guilty feeling that he had.

"Was it satisfying? Yes." You said, barely glancing at the camera in the confessional. "Do I regret it?" You paused, "Eh.....?" You shrugged your shoulders, "Do I miss him? Yeah, I do." You sighed, knowing full and well that Alejandro was gonna tease the shit out of you for this confessional, much like you had with his previous ones in World Tour. "But, it had to be done."

OKAY OKAY, hello again!! loved the nibling reader you wrote and just had to write it again!!! (if you couldn't tell im a sucker for platonic family hcs <3)

this time, this request is quite angsty?? ig nibling!reader getting their feelings hurt (either by duncan, heather, or whoever you decide to choose!) you can decide if they either run to chris to cry to, or if they run away to a more.. deserted(??) area of the island. (bonus points if after reader feels better, leshawna comforts them <:]) thank yeww!!

HIYAAA!! Lovely seeing you again with another appreciated request, and to hear that you are happy with how I interpret a Chris nibling reader! It means a lot ! <3 

As always, have an enjoyable reading experience! 😊

ANGSTY! CHRIS MCLEAN’S NIBLING! READER HEADCANONS

Heather was on the chopping block.

She needed to do something urgently. The day wasn’t getting any earlier. Everyone was itching to cast her name out of the competition.

Immunity wasn’t in her favour this time.

She needs to find a reason asap to not be kicked out tonight. That there was actually someone around that was a much bigger threat to everyon-

...Everyone?

...

Jackpot.

“You know that...toy Chris’ nibling has? I need you to get it for me.” Heather beseeched bluntly to Lindsay, hours before the elimination ceremony, in the whistling privacy of the forest.

“Um, sure?” The blonde’s voice high pitched from stupidity agreed,“But why can’t you go ask yourself? (Y/N) doesn’t bite! Not people!”

“Because Lindsay...I...gotta make sure I’m presentable! My hands need to be in perfect condition.” It was a strange excuse, but Lindsay was narrow.

“Ohh, right! Gotcha.” If anything, she found relatability in such empty words.

Too easy,“When you get it, come straight back here. You can remember that, can’t you?”

“Ohh, totally! In geography, I-“

“Go get the teddy.” Heather interrupts dismissively.

“Okay...” she watches moody Lindsay’s height get smaller and smaller as she disappears more and more to carry out one last request.

You were sitting on the sand with your legs spread out when you saw the pretty blonde girl approach you,“Hi Lindsay!”

“Hii (Y/N)! Is that Mrs Maple?” She pointed at the stuffed bear, dressed in a shirt of the Canada flag.

You nod,“She’s having a suntan!”

“Oooo, she’s a lot like me! We both love being trendy!” Ask to get the teddy, ask to get the teddy,“Could I hold her? I...wanna see if we’re really on the same wavelength!” She zealously asks.

You hesitate. You never really let that happen.

You hold Mrs Maple by her underarms and stare far into her black eyes, before you nod and hand her over.

“Thanks! Aww... It’s such a cute bear!...Oh...wait...” She remembers her objection,  and gawks back at you,“I think I hear her talking! She said she wants me to uh, get some syrup for her! Gotta go!”

Before you could protest, she races away. 

That’s weird... Mrs Maple is shy when she meets new people...

Oh! It must be a coverup for a game of tag.

Thus, you got to your feet and ran the same way she did, following her footprints in the sand, smiling. Challenge accepted!

“Hey...! Heather!” She wheezes, holding the teddy to her,“I got it!”

“Good.” She hears a distant “Wait up!” which melts a glare on her face to Lindsay,“You let them follow you?”

“Ohh... I didn’t know they would. But they sound like they’re having fun!” Lindsay found much virtue in it.

“Yeah... A lot of fun.” The wicked glimmer of Heather’s smile shifts to the blades of a pair of scissors she sharpened out, offering them to Lindsay,“Cut the head off.”

...

Lindsay is mortified.

“Wh-What?!” She stutters, clearly having the full ugly picture confidential to her up until now,“I don’t understand, I-I thought you wanted it to see it!”

“Yeah, and to mutilate it.” She snaps the scissors together,“Take.”

“I can’t! I won’t!” She yelled, holding Mrs Maple to the other side,“This teddy is (Y/N)’s whole astronomy, and she didn’t do anything to deserve decapitation! Besides, I-I was the one that took it so, it’d make it look like it was my idea!”

“Right on.” Heather snarled, Lindsay’s out of nowhere refusal not being part of the plan- she could threaten her position in the alliance, but eh, not much of a point if... Oh well. She did do the difficult part so there was nothing hard about snatching the teddy right from Lindsay’s hands and rapidly tearing the head off faster than she could blink.

“Heather! What are you doing?!” She screeched.

The sick image of stuffed cotton overflowing from both ends of the teddy to the ground.

Mrs Maple’s head was now a teddy of its own.

“There.” She pushes the two pieces back into Lindsay’s shaking hands,“Now you can give this back. Or should I say, these.” A malicious smile raises on her pale lips.

“Oh my God... You’re gonna be in so much trouble!” 

“No. You’re gonna be in so much trouble.” Heather reiterated victoriously,“Later!”

She sprints away.

“Hey! Come back, this is your doing!” official that Heather wasn’t going to come back, Lindsay bites down on her bottom lip as she desperately tried useless methods of fixing it such as seeing if the head could stay on the neck by itself or licking her finger to try stick the separated body parts together.

Nothing worked.

I...I didn’t know bears bleed white fluff!

“Lindsay...?”

The one voice she wished she didn’t hear then.

She swiftly hides her hands behind her back and faces the small child, whose shoes and hands were dirty from running and falling, twitching on a nervous smile,“(Y/N)! Y-You’re here! That’s so...great!”

“Could I have Mrs Maple back now please? Her social battery must be so dead by now...” you asked, coming towards her wobbly from running so much.

“Oh um, well, see uh...” her falling on her words didn’t help her case. Hey! She can’t do these things under pressure!

Your face drops,“You...lost her?”

“No! She’s...” she sighs, divulging her heavy hands,“Here. I-I can explain-!”

Immediately, your eyes stung deeper than a wasp’s.

She was showing you your worst nightmare.

Someone you trusted.

“What...?” It was rather unsightly. It... This couldn’t be happening...

“I promise I didn’t do it! It was Heather! It was Heather’s idea, I swear! I didn’t know she wanted to do that!” Lindsay broke down to plead her innocence, guilt stronger than her mascara.

Pulse bellowed in your ears,“Heather...did this?”

A sweet baby returning lifeless by the neglect of the babysitter. Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry,“I...It’s okay...It’s...okay.”

Proving wrong after five seconds of eerie silence, by the destructive wave of your cries. Before Lindsay could try consoling you (try being very needed), you ran away.

How could you do that? Trust Lindsay of all people? You’ve never had a greater ocean of self hatred flood your insides.

Oh man it did not feel nice.

Chris didn’t predict his nibling to run to him bawling, so he was very caught by surprise. It took him time to properly ask what was wrong given that he had to fully acknowledge that you were hurt, tremendously.

You’re so overwhelmed, you can barely speak. Your wails hold you by the throat and your face never more pinched. All Chris could do is hold you and wait for you to calm down enough to vocalise the root of your distress; whoever was responsible for that was done for.

You hiccuped,“M-My ted...ted... H-Hea...Heath...Heath...”

“Yeah, I can’t understand you,“ he nods at Chef to get a cup of water. Once obtained, he gently urged you to take your head off his body so you could drink it.

Already, your breathing was restoring back to normal and your mouth was empty.

“Better? Alright.” He pats a tissue to your face,“Tell Uncle Chris what’s gotten you all choked up.”

The evocation of it was enough to get you bawling again, and you felt that you had already burdened your uncle enough by disrupting his chat with Chef. So you decide to put the first line of context into words,“I gave Mrs Maple to Lindsay and...” then deciding to show him the pieces. He could figure it out, he’s smart.

“Oh sweet child.” he takes them in his hands, wrinkles forming under his dilated eyes in pure perturbation from what he was seeing. No wonder you were so devastated! He’ll admit, he kinda expected something like this, but not by the intention of other people,“Lindsay did this?”

“I... I don’t know...” your head is light,“She kept saying it’s Heather’s fault, but... I’m still upset I gave it to her in the first place...”

“We’ll check the camera footage, but either way, somebody isn’t going to go through just elimination tonight.” He’ll make sure of that. He takes his sight off you to place the parts of your beloved teddy down on the table, being very gravely mistaken for something else.

“Don’t throw her away!” You shriek, pulling onto his shirt of dark turquoise to prevent him from such,“Please, I’ve had her for a long time! Don’t make me get rid of her!”

He’s once again dismayed, but his tone grew resistance this time,“We won’t be doing that. It’s just the head that came off, soo we’ll sew it back on and maybe clean her. She’ll be as good as new.”

You wipe your nose,“Really?” Thank God.

He nods, stroking the top of your head,“I’ll have Chef work on it right away. As for me, I have other business to attend to. It’s all gonna be solved, I promise.”

Your tears were no more,“Thanks, Chris...” you’re serious. You don’t know what you would’ve done if he wasn’t there,“Do you think we could...play board games tonight?”

“Totally!” Best uncle ever,“We’ll do all your favourite games and we can stay up allll night. How’s that sound?” 

See? Chris wasn’t exactly the best at people comforting, but when it came to the very few people he held dear, that’s when he’s serious.

Knowing how teenagers were, especially of Heather’s textbook, he couldn’t expect a lecture to turn her heart.

But he did enforce a warning to them that harassment was off limits on those who weren’t participating.

How?

You don’t want to know.

“Hey sweetie.” Leshawna came and sat next to you during your wait for your uncle to tell you he’s free to begin board game night,“How are ya? Feeling a little bit better?” By this time, Mrs Maple was one piece again. 

You’re way too disturbed to treat her the slightest of play,“Yeah... I just... I never felt so sad in my life. I practically watched someone close to me die. When...I saw that...she was torn in two, so did my heart.”

“Aww.” she curves her hand around you and rests her head on yours,“Sorry you went through that, some people can be so miserable. You ain’t meant to be feeling all this sad, gloomy things we teens do. You just a kid!”

“I’m never giving Mrs Maple to anyone again.” Your decision thrived of bitterness.

“And that’s completely fine. She’s your toy, no one should force you to do anything you don’t wanna with her. It’s alright to be hurt, but you gotta make sure that the way you handle it is the best way to let you move on sooner.”

“Is...Is Heather going home tonight?” you needed to know. It may have been there, but you needed to hear it.

“Oh, totally. Girl dug her own grave and now, she may need to retake her passport photo.” Leshawna chuckles at the thought,“I mean, to go after a kid who did nothing and still be too much of a chicken to own up? Way out of line.”

“Will I always have to meet someone as nasty as her...?” Your puffy eyes set back to the newly placed stitches on Mrs Maple’s neck.

Leshawna sighs, rubbing your shoulder,“Unfortunately in this world we live in, there’s all kinds of sick freaks and Heather is just one of them. But you shouldn’t waste your life worryin’ about them, because there’s also really great people in your life that will always wanna look out for you, and it’s them you really wanna spend time on, ain’t it?”

“Like you?”

She smiled,“Come here, sugar.”

You felt safe enough to let Mrs Maple join in. Leshawna...she’s amazing. And would make a great big sister, if she wasn’t one already.❤️🩹

i know world tour rewrites are probably overdone by now but i wanna see an alenoah world tour rewrite where pretty much everything is the same but (predictably) it changes at/around i see london

so in this rewrite, pre-london, similarly to canon alejandro is flirting with other teams to get them off their game and eliminate them (cough cough bridgette, leshawna, etc) but he thinks it’d be a good idea to flirt with someone on his own team- not to throw them off their game, but to get a closer bond with them and hopefully a steady alliance once merge rolls around. after all, it’s easier to get closer to a team member than an enemy right now.

he’s weighing up his options and he Hates owen, izzy is Insane, and tyler serves no use to him, which leaves noah.. alejandro thinks he’ll be a good choice since while noah is weak he does somewhat try in challenges and he is very smart, so having him as an ally will benefit alejandro, also he genuinely enjoys noah company, viewing him as being on the same level as him in levels of wit/intelligence/humour, so boom it’s settled, noah will be his ally post-merge

anyway back to i see london, the episode goes the same up until the elimination ceremony, alejandro yaps in the confessional about it being unfair that chris let team amazon win since his team were the ones that actually caught the ripper-type guy. he also knows that since he was caught before the challenge even started, he’s probably going home !! so he needs to figure out a way to gaslight gatekeep girlboss everyone and stay in the game

he, like in canon, is of course irritated at noah for talking about him behind his back and thinks about eliminating him, despite previously thinking he’d be a good ally. this is where i diverge fully from canon and say he can’t really risk losing an ally here and maybe, without noah having the influence of anyone else, he’ll be able to turn things around with him. izzy is already gone so if alejandro eliminates owen, then noah will have no other allies and most likely be searching for one, so this is where alejandro can swoop back in and continue to ally with him (while definitely planning to use him for his intelligence and double cross him later as revenge for gossiping about him, and also because alejandro wants to win)

so with 2 votes for ale and 3 votes for owen, the big guy is sent packing and things are playing out the way alejandro wants them to. when he approaches noah for an alliance he’s surprised at how little convincing it takes, and he thinks this plan will be easier than he thought

hoooowever noah is also planning to double cross him and he approaches heather, despite disliking her, because he knows shes currently the only other one that can see through alejandro. he may not like heather but he knows she’s smart and a very capable player and hey, if things go south then it can’t be that hard to get her eliminated, because she’s literally heather

so just . AUFHHR i need this dynamic of noah and alejandro thinking they’re one step ahead of each other and they’ve got each other all figured out but they’re actually both just playing each other’s game and they have all the stupid flirty rival banter while they tango around their feelings for each other it’s great

and they dont even have to be final 2 !!! maybe their plans crumble and they end up voted off and get into some tense aftermath segment and have a very chaotic game of “truth or volcanic eruption” !!

Total Random Island (Episode 1)- Not So Happy Campers

Note: Not So Happy Campers Part 1 was mostly the same in this universe except Katie and Sadie got in the same team.

All of the campers look down at the cliff below. They are visibly worried at the height. Some of them anyhow. Some of them like Bridgette and Harold are just discussing the sheer size of the thing. Some other campers like Gwen didn't seem to have any reaction to it (Owen finding this very creepy, how can you NOT be afraid of a giant cliff?). Eventually Chris speaks up, his iconic voice sounding in the area all of the campers paying attention to him.

"Alright campers today's challenge is threefold, your first task is to jump off this one thousand foot high into the lake" Chris explains.

Bridgette turns to Harold and smiles "Piece of cake" Harold does not seem very convinced at all.

"Below you'll see two target areas" Chris continues his explanation "The wider area represents the area of the lake we filled with Violent! Man-eating! Sharks!" Some campers already seem not so sure about this.

"Inside that area there is a safe zone, that's your target area, which we're pretty sure is shark free" LeShawna turns to see Chris, she does not seem pleased at the lack of certainty.

"For each member that jumps and actually. . Survives, there will be crated supplies waiting below. There are supplies that you'll need for the second part of the challenge: Building a Hot Tub!" Chris smiles and points at the camera "The team that wins this challenge will get to have a wicked Hot Tub party, the losers, will be sending someone home"

Silence fills the air as Chris finishes explaining the challenge. Tyler and Lindsay look at each other and gulp as they do "So, Screaming Gophers. . You're up first"

LeShawna turns to her teammates, and seems pretty determined "Watch and learn, y'all!" As she says this she jumps impressing the rest of the team especialy Owen.

"Wooo! That's wicked LeShawna! Okay my turn!" The team excitedly looks at Owen who enthusiasticaly yet a bit nervously goes to jump. He screams in terror as he beggins to fall, the water of the lake splashes loudly.

Cody looks at the seemingly unenthusiastic Gwen and smiles at him seemingly wanting to impress her "Ha, what a bunch of lunatics right?"

"I suppose so?. ."

"I mean there is no way i could risk my life like that, right?"

As soon as Cody says this Chris slides in, a weird-looking chicken hat thingy "Are you sure about that?"

"Ummm?" Cody looks indesicive for a while but then looks at Gwen only to look back at Chris with a cringe-worthy smile on his face "Yep! I am pretty confidence in my chances"

"Well. . That is good that you are confident, buuuuuuut unfortunately that also makes you a chicken" Chris swiftly places a chicken hat on Cody's head, he looks ashamed.

"Well. . At least you won't jump either, right Gwen?"

"Ummm. . Actually i would like to not take my chances with elimination tonight and. . Actually participate so. . " Gwen inmediately jumps, Justin shakes his head from one side to the other and looks at Cody before jumping himself "You are a sad little man, Cody"

Izzy passes Cody by and giggles at his pathetic display like if it was the funniest thing ever "Stupid boy"

And just like that Izzy jumps, quickly being followed by a very nervous Beth and a cautious and calculated Noah.

Lindsay looks down at the cliff, she looks frankly hugely intimidated by it, she looks back at her team "I thought this was a talent contest"

"Does that mean that you are not jumping?" Heather asks, looking a little bit irritated.

"Ummm, if you don't mind of course"

Tyler from the other team inmediately and unexpectadly comes into her defense "C'mon man cut her some slack! She is just a bit scared"

"Why do you care, man? She is from the other team" Harold says in a frankly pretty bitchy tone.

"Well. . I just don't want her to feel preasured i suppose?" Harold doesn't seem to convinced by that answer.

And just like that a chicken hat is placed in Lindsay's head. Trent turns to see Heather, his only other teammate remaining "I- er actualy, cannot do this either"

"Why? Are you scared?" Heather raises an eyebrow looking just as annoyed as she did with Lindsay.

Trent inmediately feels a bit on-edge due to Heather's hostile response "I mean, kinda! You try jumping a one thousand foot cliff"

"I won't have to, and that is why YOU have to do it, Trent. Only way we win this"

"Wait! Why do you get to skip this and i don't?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'll get my hair wet!"

"Well that doesn't seem like a pretty good reason"

They stare at each other silently and inmediately start screaming at each other like children, eventually in the conmotion Heather falls down the cliff, luckily she falls in the safe zone. Chris looks at Trent and gives him a chicken hat. "Trent! You are so dead!"

-Confessional(Izzy)-

"Okay team. . WHAT WAS THAT?! That was not a fun performance at all, okay okay! I am gonna have to leat this army if i want to win. . Oh yeah Izzy you are a GENIUS"

-End Confessional-

"Alright, so that would be 8 jumpers and 3 chickens. Bass, you are up!"

"Whatever" And just like that Eva had jumped, along with what seems to be a very indiferent Duncan, and quite the excited Ezekiel.

Harold looks determined, he runs towards the cliff chest puffed out and ready to jump but suddenly he stops and stares down and just like that he feels real small "Wow. . That is like. . A really high fall"

"Yeah man, but there is no sweat right?" Bridgette tries to comfort Harold as she approaches the cliff "Like this!"

Bridgette jumps off the cliff, Harold looking down below with a look that says "I don't wanna die actually" so he just walks up to Chris and grabs a chicken hat.

Inmediately after Sadie jumps. . It is not after she jumps that she notices Katie doesn't, she just looks all scared like a little puppy "Sorry, Sadie!"

Harold pats her on the back and nods up and down slowly. "It is okay, we can be non jumpers together"

Despite that line being utterly pathetic and kinds sad Katie cannot help but smile as she looks up at Harold.

After that Geoff jumps letting a huge excited yell, he is followed by DJ who also yells. . Of fear that is.

Soon after Courtney jumps, Tyler looks back at Lindsay the non jumper and smiles wanting to impress her as he jumps "HERE I GO!!" He hits the water flat.

"And with that! The winners are the KILLER BASS!! You will get and adventage for the second part of the challenge!" Chris announces and the Killer Bass celebrate their victory, the Screaming Gophers all looked defeated, except for Izzy.

==

Soon enough the Killer Bass are all easily getting to camp thanks to their wagons they won in the first part of the challenge. Ezekiel in particular looks excited "I am very happy we won that, eh!"

"You can say that again dude!" Geoff says pumping up his fist.

"I think it was easier because we had more guys than girls, eh" Ezekiel says, like it is a completely normal and fine thing to say.

Suddenly the whole team stops in its tracks, all glaring at Ezekiel who seems quite nervous as opposed at how excited he was some seconds ago.

"What's wrong, eh?"

"What did you say?" Sadie seems pretty disgusted at Ezekiel's comments, Katie looking baffled besides her.

"Well my dad always told me that guys are stronger and better at sport than girls are"

Geoff seems to try to understand this, after all Ezekiel comes from a family of farmers "Dude that is not true"

"It is not?"

"Naw man! If you say things like that dudes and chicks will not like you man. We are all as capable as each other, like you see Eva there? She is pretty strong" Geoff points at Eva who is still sort of annoyed at Ezekiel's comments but just nods.

"Oh. . I guess that emm makes sense, sorry"

Ezekiel looks down in shame and just continues carrying the crates, on the other side Duncan seems to laughing his ass off "HAHAHAHA ooooh MAN that was good. Okay don't tell me, are men also smarter than women?"

Before the farm boy can open his mouth and drag his reputation further into the ground Geoff steps in again "Dude, sexism is NOT funny"

"Okay, sorry sorry i'll stop. . For now"

Meanwhile in the Gophers most contestants are pushing the crates in teams of two, Izzy and Heather in the front.

"Let's go let's go team!" Izzy is screaming, despite taking leadership it seems she is still as energetic as before, Lindsay seems not to be very enthusiastic about having to push "Come on, i'll break my nails if we keep up like this"

Justin nods sympatheticaly "If my beautiful face has to be hit in a future challenge i will scream i tell you!"

"HEY! NO TIME FOR THAT PRETTY PEOPLE! THE BASS ARE IN FRONT OF US!"

And Izzy was right, the Bass arrived to camp a few seconds before the Gophers, the girl did not seem pleased "Okay team let's go! Beth you go with Noah, Owen you go with LeShawna, Gwen you go with Justin, Trent you go with Lindsay and i'll go with Heather! Cody goes alone"

Owen slides in and is about to say something "I don't know if-" Before he can finish this sentence Izzy bites his finger "Any more objections?"

The Gophers inmediately beggin to open their boxes, the Bass had done so a little while ago but don't seem to have much of a clue as to how to build it.

"Okay. . Where did this went again?" Katie says turning to Bridgette who is holding a piece of wood. She shrugs.

Geoff steps into one of the box and raises his hands "Okay everyone we can do this! Let's go dudes"

"Yeaaaaah right" Courtney does not seem impressed at Geoff 'leadership' and steps in "Well, as a C. I. T i think i should be then one in charge"

And with that every Bass just kinda does everything separately, there is no real coordination except maybe for the fact that Katie and Sadie are the only members bringing any water while the others try to figure out how to build the Hot Tub.

Meanwhile the Gophers seem to be working surprisingly well together maybe except for Heather complaining about Trent every once in a while but fortunately LeShawna stepped into his defence.

Eventually the two teams finished with their work, Chris stepped in "Okay teams let's see what we got"

He first stepped into the Bass' Hot Tub which was barely a tub, much less hot "Not too shabby" It inmediately falls appart as he says this. "Well! I think it is obvious, the winners are THE SCREAMING GOPHERS!!"

The Gophers all seemed excited over this, LeShawna hive fives Owen "Let's go team!"

"Bass, i am dissapointed, you started pretty strong. I'll see you at the elimination ceremony. . Tonight!"

==

The Bass are sitting down at the mess hall, after winning the first challenge no one seems to have expected defeat, the table is slightly silent as Eva looks around "So, who are we voting for? We have to vote for someone!"

DJ eyes Duncan, who returns the glare, annoyed "What? I jumped! Don't tell me i was a little too much for you?"

"What you did was not cool, man"

"What? Farm boy over there started. If you wanna vote someone for yapping around vote for him" Ezekiel shrinks as he says this, Harold however pops up.

"I hate sexism as much as the other guy, as a gentleman, but i have something to say" The non jumper announces, Duncan seems interested "What is it, chicken?"

Harold dramaticaly points to Tyler "Tyler is working with the enemy!"

"What? No? What are you talking about?" The jock inmediately takes a more nervous demeanour.

"I mean, you did defend Lindsay when she didn't jump. . Even though she was on the other team. It's obvious that you like her"

"I was just trying to erm- Be nice! That is all, man"

Courtney perks up at this, she glares at Tyler. . Coldly, she does not like the idea of working with the other team "So we are voting him off?"

From the Gophers tables Lindsay all of the sudden scream "NO!!. . I mean. . Oh no. . There is no salt"

"Case and point" Harold crosses his arms, Tyler looks defeated.

==

"Bass, in front of you, i have 10 marshmallows. In normal summer camp, marshmallows are a yummy treat to be enjoyed by the fire, in this camp, marshmallows represent life! If i call your name and you recieve a marshmallow, you are safe! If you don't. . You are out. . And you can't return. . EVER!!"

"Katie!" The sweet girl catches her marshmallow happily, watching over to her best friend hoping she is safe, fortunately her wishes come true "Sadie!"

"Geoff!" The party boys pumps his fist excitedly.

"Ezekiel!" He gets hit straight in the head by the marshallow and falls on his back.

"Bridgette!"

"Courtney!"

"And Eva!" She catches the marshmallow quickly, almost crushing it in her hand.

"DJ!"

"Tyler, Harold, Duncan. You have not yet recieved a marshmallow, there is two marshmallows left, if you do not recieve one, you are out" Tyler looks towards the two other boys nervously, Harold just shakes his head slowly from one side to another disaproving, Duncan doesn't seem to phased.

"Harold!" He catches it and jumps from his tree trunk in excitement "Yes!"

"And the last marshmallow goes to

.

DUNCAN!"

Tyler looks defeated as Duncan catches his marshmallow "What can i say, man? It is how it is"

Chris points behind him "Dock of shame, is that way"

Tyler walks to the dock slowly, it really stinked to be the first eliminated, however before he gets into the vote Lindsay runs or well- Walks as fast as she can in heels "Wait!" She gives Tyler a piece of paper "After the show is over. . Call me"

Tyler smiles and nods "Thanks, Linds" He jumps into the vote of losers.

[softedgessculptures]

This is one of the best couples and plot twist in the history of couples in cartoons, in fact, the very concept of plot twist in a REAL couple is already able to show us while all the media is mediocre. I'm not going to make a huge and really serious post, so I'm just going to comment even.

Harold just saw Leshawna and the first thing he said was," Wow, you're big! I've never seen a woman like you! " and Leshawna was so nice, because she KNEWS that was not evil!!? Harold didn't even said it in a crude tone, he was just amazed and she fuckin knew it.

He was in awe of her, with a woman.

Over the course of the episodes, we found out that there's a secret admirer at the island camp, and in what Gwen and Bridgette thought were for they with their own boyfriends, actually, it was all for Leshawna.

Even if they didn't know who the sender was, the moment Harold is eliminated, he declares himself to Leshawna. And Leshawna LOVES IT. SHE JUST LOVES IT AND THEY KISS! Everyone who saw was so amazing and awwwwwn cried because it was cute af, that actually, Harold is a passionate and romantic guy regardless of what his appearance and personality looked like.

And it tells us that true love is, beyond appearances.

We, in fact, end up growing up with a completely pig and miserable prototype of perfect couples, perfect pairs in a perfect life. Since all this fuck doesn't work like that, it can't and shouldn't be portrayed this way. It is not only the media, but the books themselves are feeding us with this ideal. (fr most works here are better than so much more famous works out there, just for being so real here on tumblr)

Models x models, pretty x pretty, ""ugly"" x ""ugly"" (lol how can I determine who is ugly or not), and most following this idea of stupid beauty. These instagramers selling an image of their beautiful and "perfect" life with a buff body and a buff partner in a mansion, totally unreal for those who live in the real world.. What consequently is the most.

I also followed this perfect couple ideal, that no one would ever love me, that I would never live a life of love like rich or beautiful people. I thought I was, and actually, I still think I'm so ugly, that I would never be happy as the white girl with light eyes I saw in Reels. And that's so wrong. So wrong. When we consume a lot of media, social networks, and fit the dough, we become dumber and more alienated.

This is hell. When we go out of social networks and see real people, normal people and lol I'll say again NORMAL because they are NORMAL and not completely manufactured, we realize that things don't work that media way. That, in fact, people really love each other and find beauty in many because they rightly like each other and look beyond bodies, faces and skin tones. There's a lot of couples in the streets, in campus, in MANY places.

I ended up seeing a lot of racism on tumblr, of people complaining about couples of characters with black or fat people. Lol, i'm sorry. Lol, i'm sorry. I don't even know what to say. I don't even know what to say because IT'S SO BIZARRE, how can a person think that to have a boyfriend or write a >>>>>fictional<<<<< tale, we can't put a REAL person there. Drug life is not only models of straight hair, fair skin or fake tan, or even blacks going crazy to stand like the completely skinny black models of fin noses. IS NOT LIKE THIS!!!! Couples can arise from different types of people, that buying this idea of perfect, equal and homogeneous models is actually so limited compared to the whole universe we have out here, not only to explore but to also simply live because we are part of them!!!! We, actually, are them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually went crazy with Shrek's dreamworks film, batting through this whole culture of perfect princesses and princes (and whites in the most standardized possible) getting together in the Disney ideal. In fact, not just Disney, but a whole global and social issue that everyone in the world has adopted. Shrek and Fiona were stronger and more passionate than anything in the end they manage to came out over any obstacle. In Shrek 2, which is actually the best of the other films, we see how AMAZING it was in the end. The fairy godmother and all forced a perfect couple, prince and princess, but still, it did not work because Shrek and Fione loved each other by what were really !!!!!!!! That was so beautiful!!!

Buuut coming back to real life, you may be the greatest empath in the world, but you won't be able to put it in the shoes of people who think they can determine who stays together and is loved or not. You can't really understand these minds, other than waiting too much and poor social and psychological development. Not to judge because we should take in with kindness and patience aways, but shit, it's surreal to have to teach one person to be kind, lovely to the other. 😢😢

Finally. We already know the problem.

I'm just going to say one thing: YES, your favorite character would be with a person like you. Regardless of your appearance, color, social status... I think that fiction is even out of reality because they just don't follow these superficial biases that we adopted in society, which rooted and rotted our minds. I've seen people trying to bring fictional characters into real life, making them imagine them living here and I've seen so much shit. Beauty pattern ran strong, money, even color in the middle. I hated it, it was the pinnacle of stupidity.

“Last time on Total Drama All-Stars TWO!” Chris said excitedly.

“Our campers were rudely interrupted in their sleep by yours truly! We had a beautiful blood moon in our last challenge and I couldn’t resist getting some pictures. By me, I meant our contestants of course! Each of the teams gathered at the dock, received supplies, and set out to explore our islands. The Glamorous Golden Eagles didn’t do much of anything interesting in the previous challenge, and they got second. However, it was the Otters who won their first game after two straight elimination ceremonies! In the end, our military brat Brick was sent home after a disastrous night out on the water, via crazy gal Izzy! This week we’re gonna dial things back and head to Chef’s kitchen for this week's challenge. Who has the guts to play in Hell’s Kitchen? Will our lovely season one competitors step it up? And lastly and most importantly who gets the boot after it all? Find out on this week's dramatic campfire ceremony on Total Drama All-Stars!” Chris flashed a smile and held up two fingers.

Optimistic Otters

“I haven’t eaten this good in weeks, this food is so good!” Cody said excitedly.

“I know, they even have vegan and vegetarian options too!” Cameron picked up a waffle piece with his fork.

“This is what happens when you win. Learn that feeling, cherish it, and keep moving so we can keep winning!” Jasmine said, taking her seat down at the table next to Cody.

“She’s right, we don’t have time to lose. We just now got the numbers even again” Duncan added.

“Not to mention who wants to turn up food this good!” Duncan shed a single tear, and the butler wiped it away before it touched his plate.

“I don’t know if I can get used to that,” Duncan said, annoyed.

Glamorous Golden Eagles

“…and that’s why I needed to talk to you. No that sounds stupid, I can’t say that” Trent paced around the communal bathrooms anxiously.

Just then Harold entered. It didn’t take long to figure out what he was talking about.

“Still thinking about how to approach Gwen?” Harold asked, startling Trent.

“Maybe, why?” Trent stopped pacing and started to look at Harold.

“From the times we spent together during the Drama Brothers days, you were pretty cool Trent, just be yourself, man,” Harold said causing Trent to pause.

“Thanks, Harold, that means a lot. But it’s not that simple, I haven’t talked to her since that aftermath show. How do I even approach her anymore?” Trent worried. He sighed and before he walked out of the communal bathrooms, Cody came in.

“What’s going on Trent? Still feeling weird about the team switch?” Cody asked

“Yeah I am, I know that everyone on our team is super buddy-buddy, I mean, besides Harold, I don’t think I can say anyone is my friend,” Trent said glumly.

“Well, if it makes you feel any better, I don’t think I’ve made any friends on my team yet. I feel like everyone knows who they know, and aren’t really making an effort to make new friends” Cody said, and Trent nodded in agreement.

“In due time, in due time,” Harold said as the boys left the communal restroom.

Colossal Cobras

“Morning girls, are we ready for today's challenge?” Sky asked, stretching her legs on the rug.

“I would say that I am but the last challenge was a disaster. We couldn’t do anything right” Bridgette answered.

“Girl, what’s with you and Dave? That brother is always trying to participate in challenges, he may mess up sometimes, but he tries” Leshawna asked.

“You really wanna know?” Sky asked nervously. She was more focused on stretching her body as she did every morning.

“Well, why else did I ask girlfriend?” Leshawna cocked an eyebrow.

“Well, I don’t really know. He was into me for so long and I thought maybe I was into him too, but any chance of us working things out was killed after he found out about my terrible ex” Sky said disappointedly.

“Well if it makes you feel any better, Geoff and I have been through it all together. If there is saving our relationship after the many fights we’ve been through, you should be fine” Bridgette comforted.

“Well, do you like him Sky?” Leshawna asked.

“I mean, maybe? I just want to win this competition, but he’s such a dork and he’s so cute, and I… probably like him don’t I?” Sky blushed.

“I needed some obvious hints to get with Geoff. I’m glad that the other Killer Bass guys helped me realize that I should give him a chance. We’re still together all this time later. I would be so down to help you out with this, after all that’s what teammates are for!” Bridgette smiled. Sky got up and hugged Bridgette in response.

*Cuts to confessional*

“At first, I wasn’t thrilled to be here, but this season just feels different. Back at home, I didn’t really have too many friends, I was always competing or training. It feels great to know someone has my back” Sky smiled happily. *End of confessional*

Sky, Bridgette, and Leshawna walked into the dining hall, to join their other cobra teammates, as well as some of the otters.

Just then, Chris appeared walking into the dining hall.

“Good morning Campers! Today's challenge will be a lot more laid back considering how much you’ve been through lately. Doing two physically intense challenges is definitely not easy on the body heh heh” Chris said walking over towards the door to the kitchen.

“You're telling me, Chris, my body has never been this sore before. Especially after the boat crash!” Dave whined.

“You guys crashed your boat? Hardcore! Who was driving though?” Duncan laughed.

“Oh, it was…” Scott just then got up and pushed Dave off of the bench. Dave landed on the floor with a thud.

“Oh, it was him? Can’t really say I’m surprised” Duncan laughed allowed.

“I didn’t crash the boat! It wasn’t my fault!” Scott protested. Chris was starting to get a bit annoyed.

“Okay! Enough! Now for today's challenge, campers you will be making pizza! You will have to cook a pizza with the ingredients that were delivered this morning. Anything goes as far as the dough the pizza is made with, its shape, or its toppings. As long as it’s recognizable as a pizza, it works! Each team will appoint a head chef, and anything they say goes as they’ll have the last word. Once each team has made its pizza, Chef, our former all-star Sam, and I will be the judges. You have two hours after you’ve gathered your ingredients and appointed a head chef. Once your pizza is finished, you can use the outdoor pizza ovens to cook it. Once you are finished with that, prepare your pizzas for presentation and wait til the time is up. Good luck campers!” Chris then exited the dining hall.

“Well, I know for a fact who we are not appointing as head chef” Trent snickered. Harold nodded in agreement almost instantly.

“I know right!” Gwen started to laugh following Trent’s quick remark.

“HEY! It’s not my fault, whatsoever. People just don’t know how to listen! I have absolutely no control over that” Heather protested, receiving no help from her remaining teammates.

“Whatever, let’s appoint a head chef already! Personally, I think it should be Sammy, she's a neutral party to all of us” Courtney commented.

The Golden Eagles all looked over at Sammy, which made her a bit uncomfortable, but she was happy that the team wanted her to lead.

“Okay, so it’s settled then, Sammy will be our head chef. Now, c’mon let’s go get some ingredients” Heather left the dining hall on that note. The rest of the team followed, except for B and Dawn who waited for a little before leaving.

Dawn motioned B over to her and whispered something to him.

“Aren’t you tired of being ignored like this? We ought to do something about it. After all, our contributions matter to the team just as much as everyone else. Just because we aren’t recognizable, or outspoken, doesn’t mean our word shouldn’t matter” B nodded in agreement, and the pair left the dining hall. Leaving it empty, as the Cobras had already left prior to the mini-team meeting.

Optimistic Otters

“The ingredients to my surprise are pretty extensive, from places all over the world as well. Oh, fresh cheese!” Cameron then opened a container that was labeled “fresh cheese” and an odor followed.

“Definitely smells like fresh cheese, that's for sure.” Mike covered his nose, and quickly placed the lid back on the larger container.

“Do you guys know what pizza we should make? I was thinking we went with a Margherita flatbread, something that shouldn’t be too difficult to make” Cody said aloud.

“Not a bad idea Cody, all those in favor say, I!” Zoey approved.

“I,” said Cody. “I,” said Cameron. “I,” said Mike.

“Well, if it wasn’t obvious enough, I’m for the Margherita flatbread idea as well. But what about you guys? Lightning, Duncan, Alejandro, and Jasmine?” Zoey asked as her teammates looked around for ingredients.

“I say we make a Chicago-style deep dish! Can never go wrong with that!” Lightning suggested.

“I too, like a good deep-dish pizza, Lightning. I am in favor of Lightning’s idea” Alejandro interjected.

“Well, I don’t each much of any pizza, but deep dish pizza sounds like a good time, I reckon” Jasmine joined in to nearly even up the debate.

“Well, that leaves Duncan. What’s your choice? And we have to hurry, we can’t spend all of our time deciding on what to make” Mike looked toward Duncan, as did the rest of his teammates. Duncan shook his head disapprovingly.

“As if it’ll matter anyway. We just need to make the food look amazing, and taste at the very least, good. A deep dish doesn’t have the best presentation, since all of the cheese is under the sauce. However, flatbreads look better and don’t offer as much food. Tough call honestly. But I think we should be different and do a deep dish. They won’t see it coming” Duncan concluded, and his teammates were taken back a bit, by his analysis of the situation.

*Cuts to confessional*

“As a convicted delinquent, you probably wouldn’t want to take my advice on anything food related. However, this is one thing I don’t like to play around with, I’ve watched too many cooking shows and competitions to know how this goes. Not to mention we’re feeding gamer boy Sam, and I don’t think he’s gonna care too much about what the pizza actually is” Duncan said.

*End of confessional*

“I say, we vote Duncan, as head Chef” Cody said shortly after, the team made their decision.

“I’m honestly not mad at it. His insightful words on our choice made it really obvious” Cameron joined in.

“I agree, this just makes too much sense not to” Zoey added as well.

“Okay! I’ll do it, now let’s go people! Get some tomatoes, flour, several kinds of cheese, butter…” Duncan listed ingredients as each of the competitors got them in the same order he listed them.

Colossal Cobras

“We gotta bounce back after that horrible loss, so who’s gonna step up and be a head chef?” Leshawna questioned, and each of her teammates exchanged glances.

Dave attempted to raise his hand, and this time neither Shawn nor Sky attempted to stop him.

“Dave? Well, if no one else want’s to volunteer I guess that’s fine” Leshawn shrugged.

“No, I will be the head chef!” Scott sneered quickly at Dave, before looking over at Leshawna.

“I find it awfully convenient, that you want to be head chef, now that Dave offered” Bridgette commented.

“Yeah, and what’s it to you, surfer girl? I think I can lead this team to victory, and Dave won’t be able to” Scott took a shot at Dave who felt threatened. Sky placed her hand on Dave’s shoulder.

“Okay, listen here country boy! That brother Dave already apologized for his mistake. You however have not. I think you should take the passenger seat for this challenge. Or else, we’ll have more of a reason to vote you off if we lose again!” Leshawna got in Scott's face, and he scowled angrily.

“In that case, I am completely fine with Dave being our head chef. Don’t say I didn’t offer you guys though” With that, Scott briskly walked past Leshawna, and walked toward the ingredients truck.

*Cuts to Confessional*

“My inside source told me that, Chris is a huge fan of Hawaiian pizza, which is already a controversial opinion. However, with Dave leading this operation, I will keep my lips sealed. If we do lose today's challenge, he is the obvious choice for elimination” Scott crossed his arms out of protest.

*End of Confessional*

“Okay, Dave. So what do you want us to do for you!” Owen asked excitedly.

“Well… I say we start with ingredients, but the question is what kind of pizza?” Dave asked. Sky looked over and was moments from speaking until she was interrupted by Tyler.

“Two words. Meat Lovers!” Tyler said excitedly, and the boys on the team were satisfied with that answer.

“Sky? You seemed like you were about to say something, what was it?” Dave looked on concerned. Sky looked over at Dave and started to blush.

“Oh, right. I was thinking about a cauliflower pizza with vegetable ingredients. How does that sound everyone?” Sky said. The boys of the team seemingly disapproved aside from Dave, and Scott let out a devilish smile.

“I don’t know about you guys, but I am all for it, as a vegetarian myself,” Bridgette said smiling. She then raised Sky’s hand to the air before quickly putting it down again.

“I am fully prepared to live off MREs when the zombie apocalypse happens, so I am down to prepare whatever. Your call Dave” Shawn shrugged.

“Okay, well, in that case, I think we should go with Sky’s idea. It’s super creative, and the other teams might not think of it. However, I do like a good meat lovers pizza, just not this time gents” Dave finished speaking. The rest of the team at first seemed divided, but more than willing to go with the idea.

“Not my first choice, but lead us to victory Dave!” Owen said excitedly, he then picked up Dave and squeezed him into his large frame. Dave squealed in pain, but Owen continued squeezing.

“Owen! Put me down! We have a challenge to win!” Dave was then gently put back onto the ground, and the team started their trip to the ingredients truck.

Glamourous Golden Eagles

Courtney and Gwen were on dough detail. Trent and Harold were making the sauce. B and Dawn were working on slicing the toppings out to the appropriate length. And lastly Heather was by herself working on grating the cheese. Sammy was watching over the entire operation.

“I’m glad we decided to keep it simple, nothing beats a nice meat lovers pizza” Sammy smiled, and Dawn looked over begrudgingly.

“Hey, what did I do?” Sammy asked, looking over at Dawn.

“Oh, nothing. Why do you ask?” Dawn immediately changed her facial expression and seemed much more pleasant.

“You cannot actually be this dense! Did you watch her debut season at all? She’s all for the animals, like the weirdo she is. This meat lover's pizza idea was terrible. SAME-ey” Heather protested.

Just then Sammy looked over disappointingly. She hadn’t realized that Dawn felt so strongly about animals and wildlife. In retrospect, it would’ve been better to ask everyone on her team, and not take a majority vote.

“I guess your right. I should’ve asked everyone. It’s my fault everyone” Sammy said glumly, and Courtney and Gwen looked at each other and knew what their next course of action was.

“Sammy you gotta stick up for yourself, Heather is just being unreasonable. It can’t be expected that everyone here knows one another” Gwen chimed in. Just then Courtney picked up a hand full of wet flour and tossed it at Heather. Heather, now filled with anger, walked over to Courtney with a cheese grater, and Courtney smirked.

“You did not just throw flour at my top!” Heather got closer and closer to Courtney.

“I did because you shouldn’t talk the way that you do. There are better ways to communicate issues with your team members” Courtney continued to smile in front of Heather.

“Do you wanna go?” Heather asked.

“Bring it on!” Courtney challenged.

Courtney and Heather started fighting in the very clean kitchen. Each dodging and weaving punches, hair pulls, and various items being thrown at them. At first, Courtney was winning in dominant fashion, unsurprisingly. Gwen looked on, having no idea what to do next, just deciding to cover her eyes. Just then Heather swung the cheese grater at Courtney and she landed a significant blow to the head. Courtney then dropped to the floor, the side of her head was bleeding, and she slowly began losing consciousness.

“Courtney!” Gwen, acted immediately, shoving Heather away from Courtney. Even Heather felt remorse shortly after, letting the cheese grater go after she got up from the floor. It all set in afterward, what she had really done.

The team was extremely disappointed with Heather, even more so than usual.

*Cuts to confessional*

“I am okay guys, I promise! Just needed some medical attention. Ouch!” Courtney winced in pain while tapping her head.

“Courtney, are you even okay to walk outside of the confessional by yourself?” Sammy asked from the outside.

*End of confessional*

“Gwen, pretty self-explanatory, but get her to the medical tent,” Sammy said. After a short pause, Gwen, tried to support Courtney’s head, while B did the rest and helped walk Courtney to the tent.

“Heather! You are in the dog house for this challenge! I do not want to see you in this kitchen for the remainder of the challenge! Harold, Trent, take her out of here” Sammy ordered, and Trent as well as Harold walked Heather out of the kitchen. Heather walked away under her own power.

“Well, I guess it’s just you and me then Dawn. I am sorry about that, I should’ve asked everyone what they wanted to do. It’s still not too late to change the gameplan though” Sammy smiled, and Dawn approved.

“You are truly a sweetheart, you know that? If only you had received more attention as a child, then you would have reached your true potential” Dawn said casually.

“Uh- where did you-” Sammy was awestruck.

“Oh, it’s all over your aura. I thought everyone could do that sort of thing” Dawn shrugged. Sammy looked over at Dawn was casually slicing tomatoes, and didn’t know how to react.

“Ugh- such a disaster” Sammy slammed her head on the table and didn’t lift it up.

*Cuts to confesional*

“I almost feel bad for wanting to manipulate my team. However, I didn’t have to do much of anything this time, just throw Sammy off of her game since she was the only one left after that disaster. Courtney and Heather don’t mesh well together. Gwen and Trent have history, we’ll say. By the time Harold figures me out, he’ll probably already be eliminated. As for B, he’s too precious for this world, he can stay around. Poor boy, such a tragic past” Dawn strategized.

*End of confessional*

Just then, Trent and Harold walked back into the kitchen and looked over at what was left of the ingredients. Not much.

“Well, what do you suggest we do Trent? There is flour everywhere and no one here has even made the pizza dough yet” Harold walked over to the half-mixed bowl of flour and noticed some of Heather’s hair in it.

“Well, guys. I say we just make a nice plain cheese pizza. A majority of our ingredients are toast after that fight. We don’t have enough time to slice and cut toppings, since about an hour has passed, and we’re down several of our teammates. Let’s just see what we can do, with what’s left” Sammy lifted her head from the table, and sighed.

“Honestly, I think this is still salvageable. As long as we have something to present to Chris, Sam, and maybe Chef, we’ll be alright” Trent smiled sheepishly.

The four remaining players of the Glamourous Golden Eagles continued working on the now, plain cheese pizza.

Optimistic Otters

“Lightning, what is this?” Duncan asked.

“It’s the sha-sauce! What else could this sha-dang red stuff be?” Lighting protested. “Well, for starters, it looks really scabby and almost orange-colored. We can’t serve that! Not to mention, your like the only one who hasn’t finished their ingredients for our pizza yet!” Duncan said.

“I mean, if my opinion helps at all, it tastes a lot better than it looks” Mike shrugged.

“Well, if you wanna defend this sorry excuse of craftsmanship, and use it to help make our deep-dish pizza, then, by all means, go on ahead” Duncan protested, crossing his arms and moving around the kitchen.

“Zoey, how's the dough coming along?” Duncan walked over to her station. Zoey had just finished rolling out the dough with the rolling pin.

“Not bad, just get ready to put it into the pan” Duncan had approved.

“Jasmine, Cody, cheese is looking good. What kinds did you use?” Duncan asked looking over the bowl of freshly grated cheese.

“Isn’t all cheese just cheese…” Cody silenced Jasmine.

“We used a mix of mozzarella, and provolone, as well as bits and pieces of feta cheese to top it all off” Cody answered, saving Jasmine.

“Excellent, best news I’ve heard all this time. Alejandro, what do you have for me?” Duncan looked over at the cutting board filled with slices of tomato, pepperoni, and even a small mixture of buffalo chicken and red onions.

“Bro-migo! Since you didn’t assign me a specific task, I figured I would just have spare ingredients, we could use if need be” Alejandro said confidently.

“Not bad, at all. You get a pass today my friend. Now, let’s get to picking a topping for this thing, and finally, get to put it in the pizza oven, how about that?” The team rejoiced.

Colossal Cobras

“We did it! A nice vegetarian pizza. Time to put it in the oven!” Tyler exclaimed.

“I’m honestly surprised how smoothly this went, but we gotta get this thing in the oven first” Bridgette commented.

“Who's gonna do the honors?” Leshawna questioned.

“Well, I say…” Scott was about to interject.

“As head chef, I think it’s only fair that my man Shawn does it. He made the dough and even helped cut the toppings. He’s for sure got my vote” Dave said calmly.

Shawn smiled and lifted up the finished pizza which was already on the stone paddle and fully prepared to cook in the brick ovens outside. Carefully, he walked through the kitchen and made sure that he maintained a tight grip on the paddle as he walked outside.

Just then he notices Chris, Chef Hatchet, and Sam waiting at the judging table.

“Those babies are fired up and ready for ya boy! Just pick your favorite and put the dang pizza in there Shawn!” Chef broke Shawn's concentration, but not enough to drop the paddle. Shawn then carefully placed it into one of three brick ovens and briskly walked into the kitchen.

Just then Sam looked over at Chef Hatchet with a concerned look.

“What are you looking at tubby? I gotta make money somehow, even if it’s stupid comments like that!” Sam nodded at Chef’s response and he continued to play on his Nintendo switch.

As Shawn entered the kitchen his teammates awaited him.

Glamourous Golden Eagles

Courtney had just regained consciousness once again and awoken to Gwen standing by her bedside.

“What happened, where am I, and why aren’t you helping in the challenge?” Courtney asked. Gwen was surprised she regained consciousness so quickly, but the hit probably wasn’t as vicious as it had looked.

“Well Courtney, Heather knocked you out with a cheese grater, Chef had “diagnosed” you with a mild concussion, and then shortly afterward, you fell asleep for a little while, maybe around half and hour or so,” Gwen said.

“How is the rest of the team looking?” Courtney asked, feeling the bandages wrapped around her head.

“Not very good. Dawn and Sammy were basically the only ones who weren’t affected by this. B, left to go back and help once you made it here safely. Heather is outside, supposedly exiled for the remainder of the challenge by Sammy, and Harold as well as Trent have ensured it stays that way” Gwen gave a brief rundown.

Courtney couldn’t help but laugh hearing this. She slowly pulled the covers from the bed off of her and attempted to get up from the bed.

“Well, I suppose we should get back now huh?” Courtney smiled. As Courtney attempted to get up, she stumbled into an unexpecting Gwen. The two girls fell to the ground, creating an awkward situation. Gwen was inches away from Courtney’s face,

“I think you should sit this one out Court. You can’t even walk outside of the medical tent under your own power” Gwen who was under the pressure of Courtney’s body weight, attempted to stand up, and lift Courtney back onto the bed. With very little resistance from Courtney, Gwen was able to do so.

“Gwen, you know I hate being a sitting duck, but clearly your judgment is much better than mine right now. I can’t even fully stand up without someone walking with me. Just promise that you can lead these guys to victory. Oh, and tell Heather to eat some dirt” Courtney hopelessly laid back down into the bed. Gwen nodded and exited the tent.

As Gwen made her way back to the kitchen to see her Eagle teammates, she was immediately bombarded with questions.

“Gwen, how is she? I would ask B, but you know…” Sammy asked, and B crossed his arms into his chest.

“Well, she’s conscious. So it’s a start. I don’t think she’ll be any help completing the challenge though. She couldn’t even stand up under her own power” Gwen answered. Her remaining teammates frowned.

“Bummer, hopefully, she’ll be alright,” Trent said.

“Anyway, do we at least have a pizza to put in the brick ovens outside? Last I checked, we don’t have too much time left” Gwen asked aloud.

Just then, Harold had finished layering the sauce over the pizza dough, and Trent briskly walked over spreading the mozzarella cheese mix. The pair both raised thumbs up for approval.

“At least it looks edible. That’s a start. I just hope that we can finish this on time” Sammy buried her flour-covered hands in her face and looked dissatisfied.

“We’ll just see what happens. It’s completely out of our hands now. Based on everything that happened it could be so much worse” Dawn attempted to comfort Sammy to no avail.

Harold took the pizza and walked it outside to the brick oven. No one questioned him.

*Cuts to confessional*

“If I want to make things less awkward around my teammates, I’ve got to show I wanna win. But today, it’s safe to say someone’s going home on this team, regardless of my input” Trent shook his head.

*End of confessional*

Optimistic Otters

“I’ll take the pizza to the oven, bro-migo! It’s the least I could do” Alejandro said excitedly.

“It passes my inspection, so by all means, get it into the brick ovens outside,” Duncan said as he washed his hands at the sink.

Alejandro took the deep-dish pizza carefully out of the kitchen outside. Walking through the kitchen doors, and hearing faint sniffling behind the cabin. Deciding to place the pizza in the oven before looking to investigate.

“That makes three! All three pizzas at the very least made it to the oven!” Chris announced to the teams.

Alejandro, made his steps a little audibly louder than normal, trying not to scare the person crying. Eventually, he approaches a crying Heather a few paces further than behind the cabins.

”Chica, what’s wrong? Don’t worry, no one is anywhere near us, take a deep breath and I’ll listen, I promise. Alejandro placed his palm on her cheek.

“Ugh! You, the last person… I wanted to see, right now” Heather attempted to hold her emotions.

“Well, it��s not like you to be out of a challenge. Especially when you’ve got a team as stacked as yours! Now how are we gonna rematch in the finals if you’re crying the way you are right now mi amor?” Alejandro asked concerned. Heather wiped the tears from the remaining space on her cheeks that were not covered by the Spaniard's palm.

“I messed up, really bad. Like even worse than normal. This time I genuinely hurt someone” Heather stopped crying, but her eyes remained red and puffy.

“It can’t be any worse than you’ve called me before. However, I am listening” Alejandro took his hand off Heather's face, taking a seat shortly thereafter next to her.

“Well, Courtney and I got in a fight, as you can see by the flour all over my top” Heather started telling her story.

“Oh really now, I couldn’t tell by the runny black makeup marks all over it” Alejandro teased, getting playfully punched in the arm after his remark.

“Shut up! As I was saying, we fought. Things got really heated and I slammed a cheese grater on her head, causing her to get a concussion. Then Sammy temporarily kicked me off the team. I just don't know what to do, and I really wanted things to be different this time. I was sorry the minute the grater made contact with her stupid but smart, head” Heather concluded.

“That is bad, but listen, Heather, my mom would always tell us this whenever me, my brother, or my cousins messed up. ‘Que hagamos cosas malas no significa que seamos malos’ and the same applies here. Just say you are sorry to Courtney later. If she doesn’t accept your apology at least you can be at peace knowing you tried” Alejandro said. Heather wrapped her hands around Alejandro and pulled him in for a hug. Shortly after starting to cry again.

|Quick authors note| I tried to be nice with it, but using google translate was all I could do, anyway, this is what it says: (Just because we do bad things doesn't mean we are bad)

“It’s okay Heather, just take a few minutes, and we’ll walk back together” Alejandro embraced her, hugging back.

“Okay,” Heather said.

After a brief final preparation period from each of the teams, Chris called time and all of the teams met in front of the other judges.

“That’s all she wrote. Now, who would like to go first? Just kidding! It’s going to be the Glamorous Golden Eagles! Why? Because this is the worst they’ve looked all competition long!” Chris smiled after such a negative statement. Heather's ruined top with puffy red eyes to match. Sammy and Trent’s stressed faces and flour-covered clothing. Gwen and Harold ensured Courtney wouldn’t fall over, and Dawn and B were seemingly unaffected to top things off. The team wasn't anything less than a train wreck.

“As for the rest of you! Cobras, you're going second, last, and definitely THE least, the Otters. So the rest of you guys, scram! We don’t need everyone here watching us reveal scores” Chef yelled, startling Sam and causing him to drop his Nintendo switch on the table.

“Aww man, I was just about to three stock…” Chef interrupted Sam.

“Enough about the game tubby! You were paid to eat the contestants' pizzas, not play Super Smash Brothers!” Chef yelled once more. Sam took this as his sign to turn his Nintendo switch and face toward the Eagles.

“Wait, who do you main?” Harold asked.

“Rosalina and Luma,” Sam shrugged.

“Gosh! Seriously?” Harold scoffed.

“Well I've won countless tournaments with the pair so why wouldn’t I use them?” Sam shrugged once more.

“Anyway… what do you have for us Eagles?” Chris asked, unsure how to transition from such a random conversation.

“Well, it’s a cheese pizza!” Sammy said cautiously optimistic.

Harold placed the still-hot pizza pan on the table in front of the three judges. Next, B grabbed some hot crushed peppers and parmesan cheese from the inside of his jacket. Placing them on opposite sides of the pan. Then Dawn, placed some napkins down in front of the three to conclude their presentation. The three judges then grabbed a slice of pizza and placed each slice on their respective plates.

“First! The grease test.” Chris grabbed a napkin and placed it on his slice of pizza. The napkin was damp, but not completely soaked in grease.

“About what I expected at face value. Not too shabby” Chris then picked up his slice and felt the bottom of the crust until he was satisfied.

“A bit squishier than I would like, but it’s definitely cooked thoroughly” Chris shrugged.

“Alright, judges, let’s taste this now” Chris finished talking, picking up some parmesan cheese and placing some onto his pizza.

The Golden Eagles awaited ratings nervously. Chef was filled with disdain after only a few bites. Sam looked pretty satisfied. Lastly, Chris looked about the same the entire time he ate the slice.

“So, what do you guys think?” Sammy asked very nervously.

The judges walked away from the table and formed a quick huddle, discussing scores as well as thoughts and opinions. Once they returned, they all wrote their scores out of ten on a blank piece of larger poster paper.

“Just like how unoriginal the idea of a cheese pizza is, you have an unoriginal score to match. A six. I could take it or leave it. Not bad if this is the first time you guys have ever done anything like this” Chris shrugged.

“That was one of the most mediocre cheese pizzas I’ve ever had! four points” Chef shouted.

“It was good, not great. I would only get this pizza if it were a few minutes away from my house. 5.5” Sam concluded.

“With a combined score of 15.5 out of a possible 30 points, the glamorous golden eagles are a shoo-in for last place unless the remaining two teams crumble under pressure. Campers, you may return to your cabins, and you are more than welcome to take this leftover pizza with you”

“Thank you judges” Sammy frowned. Gwen took the remaining slices of pizza and walked off with her teammates.

*Cuts to confessional*

“That couldn’t have gone any worse. There’s no way the other two teams shat the bed so much that we get second place” Gwen facepalmed.

"I mean, I didn't think it tasted that bad" Courtney could be heard eating a slice from the outside of the confessional.

*End of confessional*

As the eagles walked off camera, the cobras came into frame lead on screen with their head chef Dave.

“Good afternoon judges! We have prepared an amazing vegetarian pizza. Including several vegetable toppings and a cauliflower dough base. Enjoy!” As Dave concluded his presentation, Sky and Bridgette placed the pizza on the table. Owen and Tyler then grabbed three empty glasses placing one in front of each of the judges. Leshawna then followed this up by pouring a blueberry açaí juice into each cup.

“Okay, so you can talk the talk, but can you all walk the walk?” Chris said, receiving a few confused expressions from the cobras.

“What he’s trying to say is, good work with your presentation, however, we have to see if the food is any good” Chef explained, and the confusion immediately went away.

The three judges, immediately three took slices from the pan without hesitation, placing them on their respective plates.

Without any further words, they all ate some of the pizza, analyzing the taste, texture, and location of the toppings.

“This is SO good! No further consideration from me, absolutely a 10. I’m sorry Hawaiian pizza but you have met your maker” Chris said in between bites. Eventually, he finished and took a swig of the juice.

“Not too shabby. Seven” Chef added.

“As someone who doesn’t eat much of any healthy alternatives, I must say this is simply exquisite. An eight from me” Sam concluded.

“I thank you judges, and if you are wondering what the juice is, it’s an açaí blend courtesy of Leshawna,” Dave said.

“Simply superb. For a combined total of 25/30, you have been guaranteed second place regardless of the pending results of the Otters. Now, this being said, I will NOT be offering you the leftovers of this pizza, as I will be having some of this later. Thank you. Now, come on in Otters, hopefully, you can match that energy” The Cobras cheered their way off camera.

“Yeah, baby! That’s what I’m talking about, that was so awesome!” Owen cheered.

“You know it Big-O! Up top!” Tyler and Owen slapped hands in the air.

“Now that’s how it’s done, keep this up and we’ll be winners once more,” Leshawna said.

“Now how about a round of applause for our head chef Dave!” Bridgette exclaimed. The group clapped their hands and Dave immediately blushed.

“Thank you everyone for giving me a second chance, I know it wasn’t easy to trust me after the last challenge,” Dave said. Bridgette nudged Sky.

“Dave. You were amazing, you helped lead us to victory and that counts for a lot in my book” Sky smiled.

“Well, I couldn’t have done it without you all” Dave remained humble.

*Cuts to confessional*

“We have a decent chance to win, and I scored brownie points with Sky! This couldn’t get any better, things are finally starting to go my way” Dave squealed with excitement.

“Dave is that you bro?” Tyler asked from the outside of the confessional.

“No, I think you’ve got the wrong guy… heh heh” Dave smiled sheepishly.

*End of confessional*

“Lastly, the Otters, let’s see what you got” Chris announced.

“Well judges, be prepared to have your socks knocked off because we made a meat lovers' deep dish” Duncan said.

Zoey prepared the pan in front of the three judges, soon after, Mike and Cameron came around with three empty glasses.

*Cuts to confessional*

“Since we didn’t have adequate time to make our own presentation as well as include a drink for the judges, we could at the very least match the Cobras” Cody confessed.

*End of confessional*

Lastly, Cody poured orange soda into each of the cups and quickly moved out of the way.

“Alright, so far so good. It smells great, and the sauce doesn’t look too bad.” Chris said.

“Ahem! Did we forget something here otters?” Duncan asked.

“Oh, quit your fuss, I’m right here! Just had to grab it out of the kitchen is all” Jasmine walked out of the kitchen with a block of cheese in hand, as well as a grater. She made sure that each pizza had an adequate amount of freshly cut cheese on top before back into place with her teammates.

“With no further interruptions, let the eating, commence!” Chris announced. He was the first to take a bite of the deep-dish pizza, and his face remained rather still throughout his time eating.

Chef and Sam were actually enjoying themselves eating the Otter's pizza. Once again, when the three finished eating, they called for a quick huddle. Afterward taking their respective seats, and wrote their scores under the table.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this one, so a nine seems appropriate” Chef shrugged.

“Likewise, I’m with Chef, so a nine will do it” Sam added.

“Okay, guess it comes down to me. Well for starters, I don’t know who made the sauce, and who approved it, but it could’ve used some work. However, I want to give props for creativity as well as execution. Even still, can’t go any higher than a six, sorry” Chris concluded.

*Cuts to confessional*

“Are you fu-” Duncan shouted angrily, before he threw his pocket knife at the confessional camera.

*End of confessional*

“Unfortunately, a 24/30 is not enough to win today, but a commendable effort nonetheless. Cobras win! Heads up, you guys are safe from elimination” Chris exclaimed.

*Several hours later*

“Glamorous Golden Eagles, what happened out there today? Seriously. I was worried about you guys. You guys are my stars of the show, the cream of the crop, the top one percent, the…” Chris was interrupted by Courtney.

“Will you just get on with it already? I don’t think anyone of us wants to actually be here right now!” Courtney exclaimed furiously.

“Okay, okay, okay, Courtney due to her unfortunate injury with a cheese grater catfight in the kitchen earlier, is immune to elimination. Injury trumps all everyone” Chris tossed a marshmallow at the side of Courtney’s bandaged-wrapped head causing her to wince in pain.

“That and, let's be real. Nobody and I means, nobody here is getting an MVP award. You guys performed terribly. Now get your miserable butts in line for the voting booth” With that being said, the eagles lined up one by one to prepare to vote.

The peanut gallery containing the Colossal Cobras looked on with anticipation.

*Inside the voting booth*

“Heather. No point in asking around” Courtney said.

“Two, count 'em, two for Heather” Gwen followed.

“In a roundabout way, I think Sammy caused a majority of this fight in the first place. Plus, exiling Heather was pretty mean” Harold shrugged.

“I’m genuinely torn about who to vote for. Do I stick with my guns, or do I make a move that will get me brownie points with one of my friends” Trent said worriedly.

*Voting concluded*

“Voting was very split tonight, but that’s not my choice to make! B and Dawn are safe. Also, the least harmed from today's action, I’d bet” Chris tossed the pair a marshmallow each.

“Trent” Chris tossed a marshmallow in his direction.

“Harold” Chris tossed another marshmallow.

“Bottom three, Gwen, Sammy, and Heather. Who will it be?” Chris said.

“Well, I can tell you this for sure. Our fan-favorite goth will not be taking the escape pod home, not yet anyway” Chris tossed Gwen a marshmallow and Courtney looked over with relief. “The final two. Sammy, you weren’t a particularly good leader today, you didn’t consult all of your teammates, and that lead to a huge fight in the kitchen. Furthermore, you exiled Heather for the remainder of the challenge, pretty petty to do, as she’s one of your stronger members. As for you Heather, you concussed Courtney with a cheese grater and was unable to participate in today's challenge due to said exile. The votes were close, very close” Chris said as he picked up the final marshmallow, discarding the tray into the nearby bushes.

The camera quicked panned onto Sammy and Heather's emotionless expressions.

“Courtney, I am sorry, even if you don’t accept my apology” Heather looked over, and Courtney just scoffed.

“SHHHSHHHSHHHHHHH! Your wrecking it, don’t say a word! I expected better of you, season-one veteran! Anyway, let’s start at the top. The person going home tonight will be…” Chris intentionally dragged his final statement out once more.

*Suspense building further*

“Sammy. Determined by a matter of one vote, you are our fourth contestant eliminated” Chris tossed the final marshmallow to Heather who accepted graciously.

“I can’t believe that you get to stay here another day! If it were my choice, I would’ve sent you home” Courtney said angrily. It was only a matter of time before an uproar occurred between all of the team members.

“Sammy,” Gwen said sadly.

“Your chariot awaits, SAME-ey” Chris taunted.

Sammy looked over at her former teammates and smiled. Walking over to the dock and towards the escape pod. She heard the yelling and screaming coming from various voices, all except B and Dawn of course. Gwen walked over to the dock, just moments before her exit.

“Gwen, I thank you for believing in me. Tell Courtney that fighting Heather anymore would be pointless, we all know she’s gonna win when it comes to a physical or mental contest” Sammy continued to smile, before shortly letting out a laugh.

“Oh, I will” Gwen started to laugh as well.

“Sammy! Wait up” Unexpectedly, Jasmine came sprinting down the dock, and towards the pair. “Jasmine!?” Sammy asked, very astonished.

“Yes, it’s me. I heard everything, and Sammy it’s alright. You did your best, even if the others don’t see that. Love ya heaps girlie, maybe we can take a trip to Maccas one day, you and I, as friends” Jasmine took the unsuspecting Sammy in for a hug. They quickly let go, and Sammy hugged Gwen, and then she walked over to the pod.

“What he doesn’t know is. I have the actual remote” Chef laughed deviously.

“Goodbye cruel archipelago!” Sammy yelped from within the pod, as it sped off.

The camera panned in on Chris as his chaotic background was constantly moving.

“With that, the unpopular twin is gone! Find out next time who’s going home on Total Drama All-Stars, two.” Chris concluded.

Voting Breakdown:

Gwen: Heather Courtney (Immune): Heather Trent: Sammy Harold: Sammy B: Sammy Dawn: Sammy Sammy: Heather

Sammy: 4 Votes (Eliminated)

Justin (Eliminated 27th) Topher (Elimination, via cheating, 26th) Brick (Eliminated 25th) Sammy "Samey" (Elimination 24th)

[girlfrommars28]

This is a new version of my TD characters sexualities bc I rewatched it and I changed my mind on a couple of things

Chris is the embodiment of being gay and homophobic

Chef is gay

Beth is straight in my opinion, I know I said she was my pan child but I rewatched the show and she just doesn’t give me that vibe + I don’t like her that much anymore so... yeah

DJ is still my gay child, I’ll do everything for him and his two mums; TDWT did him dirty

Gwen is still the goth bisexual queen; for my own sake I’ll ignore what the writers did with her and act like the kiss never happened and you should do the same; her and Duncan should’ve remained friends, case closed drive safely 

Geoff is giving me bisexual vibes

Lindsay is either bi or pan, but I’ll go with pan; she was robbed, I’m telling you, ROBBED

I’d say that Heather is a lesbian, but since aleheather is my ride or die ship, I’ll say that she’s bi

Duncan is just giving me bi vibes, maybe bi with a preferance for women, but bi nonetheless

Tyler is a chaotic bisexual; just watch his first interaction with Alejandro and you’ll understand

I see Harold as straight, but I could be wrong

Trent is my bi child; they did him dirty in TDA, he deserved so much better

Bridgette is pan; she is my second favourite character and I’ll not argue on that; this girl was robbed, I’m still mad about it

Noah remains our sarcastic gay pal, he’s probably ace as well and most likely in a relationship with Owen

I want to say that Leshawna is a lesbian but I’ll say she’s bi; I love her and her elimination in TDI was stupid

Sadie and Katie are lesbian girlfriends, try to change my mind

Ezekiel is aroace, I don’t have an explanation for that, he just is

Cody is a bisexual king, I also see him as a trans boy

Eva is a raging lesbian, she has a special place in my heart

Owen is our chaotic bisexual king but we all know that; it was made very clear from the first episode

Courtney is yet another chaotic bisexual; I can see her and Gwen getting together after the show

I think Justin is aroace

Izzy is pan in my opinion

Alejandro is just really bisexual, you can argue with the wall

Sierra is bi with a preferance for men (Cody)

Jo is our hardcore butch lesbian; I’m pretty sure I had a crush on her when I watched TD as a child, should’ve told me something sooner 

Scott is ace and maybe bi but with a preferance for women

Zoey is a chaotic pansexual queen, she is my child, even though I feel like putting my hands around her neck ever so often for some of the stupid stuff she does but anyway

Mike is most likely bi with a preferance for women; as for his alters, Vito is a pansexual mess, Svetlana is a raging lesbian, Mal is a they/them aroace brat, Chester is just... Chester and I don’t even know what to say about Manitoba Smith so...

Lightning is so gay, he’s most definitely best friends with Jo bc lesbian/jock solidarity; he probably takes Jo to buy clothes and gives her fashion advice; I mean, just look at him, this guy has a super bowl champion father and trophy wife mother, you can NOT tell me that he doesn’t dress well and take care of himself religiously 

Brick is yet another gay man; and a bottom

B is aroace, maybe even a trans man

Dawn is my favourite character from the whole thing so I’m probably projecting this but she is unlabeled, but if it would be to put a label on herself it would probably be pansexual, cuz she doesn’t give a frick about gender, she just loves

Dakota is bi with a preferance for men

Anne Maria is either really bi or really straight, no in between

Staci is probably straight but idk

Cameron is my aroace child

Sam is giving me bisexual vibes

I won’t do the whole Pakitew Island cast bc I haven’t rewatched it and I’m not really planning on it but I do have some opinions about some of the characters so...

Scarlett is a raging lesbian

Topher is gay

Jasmine is bi and so is Shawn

I like to say that Max is aroace, maybe a they/them or he/they as well but idk

Samey is a chaotic bisexual, lesbian could also work

Ella is yet another lesbian, she could also be bi but I’m going with lesbian

Special mentions to Brody who I personally see as pan and also in a poly relationship with Geoff and Bridgette

and also, Josee is a lesbian

Part 3

Episode 13: Ocean’s Ten- Or Eleven

Geez, first time I have to change the episode name for logic reasons. Wow.

Anyway, back to the show.

Episode 13 starts with Heather walking into the mess hall to grab food, complaining about the scent in her skin, which Noah teases that it sucks to be them, which grants him a death glare from Leshawna, Gwen, and Heather. (Remember, in the previous part of this rewrite, these three girls were blasted by skunks) 

In front of Heather’s line is Duncan and Gwen, Gwen clearly stepping away from Heather when seeing her. Heather tries to make fun of Gwen, but accidentally bumps into Duncan and makes him drop a picture. Gwen catches it and hands it back to Duncan, seeing that it’s a photo of Courtney.

“Don’t make fun of me,” Duncan scolds, and Gwen instead asks “Do you think she’s routing for you?”

“Even if she’s not, she’s still feisty,” Duncan smirks at, and then stares at Gwen charmingly to claim “She’d have to fight for me if she was here.” 

Gwen rolls her eyes, proclaiming as she grabs her plate “What do you think I am? A cheater?”

“Yes,” Heather says in the back, making Gwen stomp away. “Girls,” Duncan calmly brushes off, and as he pulls out a piece of wood from his pocket, he adds “You get some, you lose some.”

He begins chipping away at the wood with a knife, and Heather makes her “vandal” comment from canon. She sits down to see Harold and Leshawna looking away from each other in distraught. They’re both clearly holding letters to their chests that the other can’t notice, and Harold gives a brief lookover and blush at Leshawna, only for him to look back away when she turns her head. Tyler meanwhile is too busy admiring Lindsey, who is charmingly brushing away her gold locks. Even Heather waving her hand over him doesn’t work, and it makes her scoff sarcastically “Such a team player.”

“Like yourself?” Harold asks, where Heather only shoots back “Shut up, nerd.” Which just in canon, makes Harold stick his tongue out at her. 

The rest of this scene goes, for the most part, untouched. Leshawna tries to keep everyone together, Harold has his confessional, Heather makes fun of Leshawna, prompting Leshawna to leave and get kidnapped. The only tweak here needed is that instead of Harold saying “That’s an interesting read” it’s Tyler, after Heather slaps his shoulder. 

We then focus on the Grips, where Beth remarks how great it is to still be here, with all of them getting along beautifully, no one being a manipulative jerk. Lindsey then awkwardly points to Noah, claiming she forgot who's still here. Noah’s sitting away from the other three picking at his food, and accidentally makes a smiley face with his bacon and eggs that reminds him of Owen and Izzy. He looks up at Lindsey’s mention of him and proclaims “Are you kidding me? Call out myself but give Justin a pass?”

The girls don’t believe such, and Justin assures the gals that they don’t have to worry. Noah will be eliminated right out of the gate if they lose.

There’s then a Justin and Noah confessional back to back. 

Justin points out that Noah should be thankful for his abs giving them a great advantage, plus he screwed over the Gaffer’s game pretty good. Noah didn’t do that. He did. So he should just give up.

Noah then points out that he’s not thankful for Justin at all, and he’s even more upset that he ended up getting to him. “Frankly, that’s my fault, since I gave in.” But now his only allies are out of the game, and Lindsey and Beth are too stupid to realize they’re being used. If the Grips lose a single challenge now, he’s dead. Unless of course he can convince Justin to just give up.

After the confessionals, Justin tries to offer Noah a truce in all of this. He tries to charm him, claiming that Noah can have some of Justin’s beauty products for a week if he just agrees in following Justin’s plan.

However, Noah doesn’t fall for it, and he instead remarks “Your ‘plan’ is to stand still and look pretty, and HOPE to win money.”

Justin however counters Noah’s snarkiness, stating that it’s how all the famous people get by. Noah rolls his eyes and declares he’d rather take his chances than ally himself with the big bad of the show. He gets up and leaves to get some more bacon, only for there to be none left available and he notices Chef isn’t in the kitchen. Noah calls out to him to ask if he’s on break, which leads to him going into the kitchen itself, and that’s where Noah gets kidnapped.

(This does mean we’re cutting out the gag with the crane being needed to lift the body, because I’m pretty sure Noah is like, a tenth of Owen’s weight. Maybe even a twelfth.)

Chris then comes in to explain the movie genre and the challenge. Tweaks here are needed, like Noah being the one the Grips need to rescue. And when Chris declares that they’re gonna save them, instead of the gasps, it’s an awkward silence for everyone, as no one cares, which makes Chris smirk “Heartless, are we?”

Other than those tweaks, the challenge explanation is untouched.

Same goes for the people in the vaults, Leshawna’s untouched scene at least. Before her, we get Noah’s reaction. He rips off the bag from his head and states that he’s been in detention before and it’s quite like this, basically correcting a teacher and calling her ‘show your work’ policy stupid is illegal and it can get you locked up. But that does NOT mean a reality Tv show needs to replicate that!

From there, the campers try to crack open the safes. Once Harold and Heather have their fight, Gwen asks Duncan if he has any ideas, where he lies that no, he has no clue. Then we get Duncan’s untouched confessional, and as Harold and Heather are wrestling in the background, Tyler attempts to simply bust open the safe on his own terms with his muscles… and he fails at such. Seeing the chaos, Gwen sighs and joins Duncan in leaning on the wall with their arms crossed. She remarks that it’s a casual day today, isn’t it? To which Duncan adds “Right back at ya.”

The Grips meanwhile are trying to figure it out themselves, Lindsey asking if it’s like cracking an egg, where Beth remarks that no, gritting under a failed combination that it’s like cracking teeth. She should know, she and Brady have both been through recent dentals. Lindsey asks who exactly is Brady to Beth, and Beth at first claims that he’s a boyfriend, someone she got along with beautifully. 

“Like… someone you know you can trust?” Lindsey asks, to which Beth remarks that he’s one of the only people she can trust in her life outside of her and Justin. Lindsey glances over at Tyler crashing to the ground, after failing to break open the lock by force, and it transitions to the Gaffers as Heather steps over him. Harold, beaten up, thanks Tyler for moving, trying to hear the clicks in the lock. Heather and Harold scold each other just like in the original, and instead of the flash edit to the Grips, the camera moves over to Lindsey’s eyes watching everything. She asks if cups can help with their case, and Justin counters that with the declaration that the only good thing cups are for are containing cologne. 

Lindsey then tries to figure it out herself, proceeding to ask from Justin’s suggestion that the numbers are the code from a cologne bottle. She tries such, only for it to not work. Justin asks if Lindsey actually used his cologne bottle to memorize that, and Lindsey asks back “Wait… did I forget to ask first?”

We then cut back to the Gaffers with Heather’s attempt at the lock, and this bit with Heather and Harold goes completely untouched, until after it’s through. After Heather scolds Harold to stop, Tyler wonders if Gwen and Duncan know anything about the safe. Gwen claims that it seems like they’re too busy for them to step in, and she herself genuinely has no idea if they even want her to interfere. Duncan simply puts that he’s well off as is, and he and Gwen both share a handclap in smirks. After said contact, Gwen glances at her hand awkwardly and hides it under her other arm, clearing her throat and looking away from Duncan.

Tyler scoffs that they’re all trying to save Leshawna here, like it or not, plus this is a game show. So at least give him a hint. To that, and remembering Leshawna, Gwen decides to give him a bobby pin. Harold scolds this idea, and Heather snatches it from Tyler to try it herself, claiming it’s the best thing Gwen has done for them in two whole seasons.

We cut back to the Gaffers where Lindsey and Beth try to bust open the lock by force, and when they ask Justin what they do, Justin looks over at Chris and claims he has an idea. Walking up to him, we get the untouched scene where Justin tries to seduce Chris into giving them the combination, with the same results. While that’s happening, Lindsey and Beth hear a vague voice from the vent, and Beth leans over to hear it. It’s Noah, trying to get through to them from the other side, and a brief cut to him shows that he’s moved a ton of lockers out of the way to reach the vent, and all of them are knocked over.

“Do you two have brain cells?” Noah asks them, where over the Gaffer’s shouting, they can barely hear him. This makes Lindsey say “What? Do we have plain bells?” 

“I didn’t think so,” Noah scolds in response to that, then trying to give them a hint to the code. He tells them to think less numbers and more structure. This is a vague line that indicates that there is NO combination to open the lockers, as that’s not how bandits get in.

Beth however, remarks that they’re not listening to Noah, not after his stunts. Lindsey meanwhile, studies the lock and comes up with the idea that they can simply unscrew the lockers altogether and make it crash down, finally noticing the loose screws on the top corners of the doors. Beth calls out to Noah to get rid of the screws from his side, and Noah’s eyes widen at this as he remarks “Oh my god, they’re actually human.”

With that, Noah tries to stack the collapsed lockers up to the screws, with Beth handing Lindsey and Noah (slid through the vent) two pins to use to screw the bolts. With no confessionals interrupting this process (Sorry Beth) the three proceed to do exactly that, and slam down the door altogether. Noah gives a ‘not bad’ to Lindsey and Beth, and he hands them the robbery supplies and tells them to get going. He goes over to Justin still trying to seduce Chris, and Noah calmly asks “Am I missing something here?” 

Chris and Justin both stare at Noah awkwardly, their eyes darted briefly to the collapsed door and back onto him and seeing he’s free. 

Justin asks “Did you die in there?” And Noah responds monotoned “Yes. My ghost is taking your ladies to another challenge.”

Seeing the Grips go, Duncan finally proclaims that they don’t need Leshawna to rob a bank, and though both Harold, and Gwen try to counter this, they end up going anyway.

From there, the Gaffers proceed to formulate their own plan and robber cosplay, and this scene goes completely untouched. There’s only one tweak at the very end where Gwen is in the back and looks over to see the photo of Courtney and Duncan on Duncan’s bed. 

She has a confessional, where she admits that Duncan is pretty much the only person here who doesn’t hate her now, she very much respects that carelessness of him. “Courtney must be very proud to have him steady.”

We don’t cut back to Leshawna at all, instead we go right to the Gaffers and the next scene with them edging the robbery table, only here Chris reveals that he got bored of waiting, the Grips already left. Instead of cutting to said Grips, Duncan bangs his fist on the table and holds the fake gun to Chris’s head, scolding that “If we’re going to have a problem stealing, then you’re not going to like the rest of this conversation!”

To which Harold points out in the back “I don’t think that’s the right movie, Duncan.”

(I mean, WOW, you name the episode after Oceans 8, but DON’T make an Oceans 8 reference?! You disappoint me canon)

To this response, a voice in the back of the set remarks “Bad as ever, I see.”

It’s a sweet, slightly smug voice, and we pan over to a spotlight transitioning over to a certain figure, who smiles and adds happily “I hope that doesn’t get in your way.”

This causes Gwen, Duncan, and Harold to exclaim in absolute shock “COURTNEY?!!!”

Courtney gives a smug smile to the camera, and the screen fades out.

After the fade back in, we have everyone on the set shocked to see Courtney in the game. Duncan especially is stammering, unsure what to say to her arrival, he thought she followed rules! Gwen looks up at Courtney and waves in greeting, claiming she doesn’t think they’ve talked before. Duncan told her a lot about her. To that, Courtney only looks away from Gwen and shrugs off with the saying “So I’ve heard.”

From there, the scene goes untouched, with the Gaffers winning the money, and the Grips winning Courtney. YES, we’re keeping Courtney’s confessional too. (As much as you want to complain about Courtney’s brattiness, (I certainly have) this IS in character for her) 

But yeah. Courtney is back in the game. And this was the time for many that Courtney fanboys had their hearts shattered for better or worse.

The only other change needed here is an addition of everyone gushing over the cars while running, one of Duncan explaining to Gwen and Courtney how he used to drive getaway cars in his time. Courtney calls that controversial, and Gwen compliments his daredevil nature. Gwen’s compliment is the one that makes Duncan smirk back, and this makes Courtney gaze bitterly at Gwen.

Again, we DON’T have Leshawna’s scene AT ALL. Instead we go right into the teams trying to assemble their carts. As the Grips are working, Gwen comes over to talk to Courtney, and at first Courtney tries to push her away that she’s busy. But then Gwen points out that she wants to talk to her about Duncan, which gets her attention enough for her to ask what’s going on. (Courtney is clearly weary about everything throughout the entirety of this conversation.)

Gwen asks what part of Duncan compliments Courtney, clarifying that she’s wondering because Gwen herself can’t even keep a boyfriend for a week. Courtney clarifies that Duncan compliments her as a foil, a foil she can tamper with and repair like the carts. Gwen asks if that’s what it takes to gain trust, and Courtney clarifies that “Who cares about trust? What matters is what YOU want, what YOU believe, what YOU want to be.”

Gwen then hugs herself, making it clear to Courtney that she doesn’t intend to harm anyone, she just wants to do HER. “And… as you might have seen, after Trent left me partially because of Duncan, I just wanted to make sure we were cool with that, and you’re cool with me hanging out with him.”

“That depends,” Courtney finally says, asking directly “How do you see Duncan?”

Gwen hesitates, asking “What do you mean?” Courtney clarifies, “I mean, as a friend, as an acquaintance, as an enemy, as a pawn, as a crush…?” She lingers on that last example. 

Gwen’s eyes noticeably dart to the side at that, unsure how to respond to her question. To her lack of answer, Courtney focuses back on the cart, and tells Gwen that she’s heard enough. Gwen tries to ask again if they’re okay, and Courtney snaps at her to Get. Out. She needs to focus on her work, and not deal with Gwen’s plotting to ruin her life.

As Gwen leaves, Beth tries to calm Courtney that it’s just a game, and from there we get Courtney scolding Justin about the pipes, which are completely untouched. And as Courtney says “Useless-ville,” her point is clarified when Lindsey tries to put a bolt and pipe together, and it doesn’t work at all. 

She glances over at the Gaffers working on their cart, and it’s for the most part untouched, only instead of Heather complimenting Duncan, it’s Gwen. Once Duncan crushes his hand, Gwen comes in to help him with the wheel, even grasping Duncan’s hand to see if it’s hurt. This is, realistically speaking, a platonic exchange. However, Courtney sees it and sees it differently, snarling. She then has another confessional where she downright claims “Gwen is plotting. She’s playing the loner act to plot against me and use Duncan for her own gain. And she wants me to envy that? I don’t think so!”

Regardless, the Gaffers finish their cart first and start driving out. Seeing this and after the Duncan tease, Courtney demands them to pick up the pace. Noah scolds her that they can’t rush filling in the oil, making a cart isn’t easy when you have three useless sets of hands! Courtney however scoffs at his snarky comments and proclaims that FORGET IT! They’re not gonna make it in a traditional way, and she doesn’t think Lindsey even knows what geometry is! (Prompting a brief cuttaway to Lindsey trying and failing to get another bolt attached in the wrong spot.) Courtney suggests they improvise, on HER lead!

“Hold on, you can’t just call that-” Noah tries to say, only for Courtney to cut off that she just DID! 

We cut briefly to the Gaffers, and this drive through is completely untouched, except for the tweak that Gwen and Tyler are obviously here, and Tyler is dangling off the back struggling to hold on. And at the end of the poster smash they drive into one more of a rock, and by that point they stop screaming and instead are expecting it to be another poster…

Only to reveal it’s a real rock, and they crash, with Gwen adding afterwards “Nope… this is real.”

Just like in canon, the Grips carry the cart over with Courtney’s bossing around, and by the finish, the Gaffer’s cart is busted, (due to the engine snapping from their crash) and despite their efforts to push the cart to the finish line, the GRIPS end up crossing the finish line first and win the challenge.

Courtney rubs it in their face, Harold specifically, mocking that she guesses this means he’s gonna cheat her out again, right? Harold however, only says back “I’ve redeemed my honor, Courtney.”

Courtney brushes that off, excited over the victory and embracing her teammates warmly. Beth asks why, since she literally just called them duds a moment ago, and Courtney openly expresses in the embrace that she overreacted, she didn’t mean a word she said. Noah and Justin stare at each other in concern over this. 

We then FINALLY cut back to Leshawna, who has been on her own reading every letter she had in her pocket to pass through time. So much so that she’s currently repeating the words of one poem to herself about how she’s the beauty to Harold’s strength, a compliment that counteracts games and time. The door then finally opens revealing Gwen and Harold letting her out. 

Gwen immediately apologizes for leaving her in there all this time. Leshawna takes it lightly, wondering how much time has actually passed…? Neither are sure how to answer that, making Leshawna stammer at them to give her the answer to that, and it results in friendly awkwardness as Leshawna demands to know how long they’ve abandoned her. As they stammer and leave, Harold looks back to see all the letters in the vault, and his eyes widen at seeing them. He mutters “You keep the letters…?” Only for no one to answer.

We then cut to the elimination ceremony.

So now we reach the voting sessions, where the votes have been casted, and losers have been selected…

But then Chris rips apart the voting papers, revealing that the Gaffer’s votes WILL NOT COUNT.

Why?

Because as assigned in the lawsuit, COURTNEY, for her dayview episode only, is going to decide who’s going home amongst them!

The others protest this and how this isn’t fair, but Courtney, on the stage, only apologizes that this is HER game to play. So she hopes she doesn’t offend anyone with her choice.

Harold specifically tenses up at this and squeezes Leshawna’s arm against her will, thinking she’s going to choose him after he got her booted in Island. Duncan also smirks at this, thinking that will be her choice.

With that, out of all the Gaffers, Courtney decides to eliminate…

…

GWEN.

Yep. She still gets 12th this season guys. Goodbye Gothie.

Everyone is shocked at this, with Heather being the only one genuinely happy about this. She even downright says “I envy your choice, Courtney.” 

Gwen stands up to ask “I’m sorry, did I do something to you?” To which Courtney answers “Don’t take it personally, but you did become a finalist in Island. I have to play a strategy.” She doesn’t downright say it, but I think we all know that’s obviously NOT the only reason she’s booting Gwen.

But yeah, Gwen departs and has her Lame-O-Sine. Leshawna briefly apologizes to Gwen for this inconvenience, and asks if they’re still friends, to which Gwen confirms. Duncan bids her farewell before she gets in the limo of losers, asking if she’ll be okay out there. Gwen says that she doesn’t know, but she’ll be free to hear him mock her about her bad life choices. They share a hug, and Gwen leaves the game.

Duncan walks out to the back of the stage on his own, and Courtney catches up with him. Duncan asks what she wants, and Courtney simply expresses how much she’s missed him. She tried to say that before, but… she thought he was busy, with challenges and stuff. Duncan makes it clear that he missed her too, actually glad that she’s back. 

Courtney then asks if they can work together to win the entire game. Under her leadership, they can become the finalists of the season. Duncan expresses that he really doesn’t care about the money, only for Courtney to suggest that maybe they can at least see where their relationship goes now. 

Duncan looks her in the eye again, unsure how to take that, only for Courtney to calmly press a finger on his lips and wrap her arm around him, flirting that she thought he was more aggressive than this… but she likes the new him. 

“Oh trust me sweetheart,” Duncan flirts back, “I can be spicy if I want to.” “If I want to,” Courtney corrects, and the two share a kiss into the night. The camera transitions to the night sky, and the episode ends.

Episode 14: One Million B.C

Episode 14 starts with everyone hanging out in the morning. In the girls cabin, Lindsey is brushing her hair, remarking that she kind of feels bad for Gwen being booted like that. Heather however claims that she doesn’t, if anything, they all should be thankful of Courtney for making such a good choice with her trump card. Lindsey then remarks that she wonders if Tyson feels sad over Gwen’s elimination, and everyone corrects her that it’s Tyler. 

Leshawna then comes in, and her exchange with Heather goes completely untouched. (Yeah in this rewrite people did let her out, but she was still locked in that vault all day, so her point still stands.) 

Heather then helps Lindsey with her hair knot, and again, just like with Harold, while I AM keeping the first confessional, the timing of it was off. So here the first confessional doesn’t start until after Heather yanks at Lindsey’s hair the first time. And as for the second confessional, I am cutting it out altogether, because… two Heather confessionals in the same scene? Like, at least space them out!

Other than that, the rest of this conversation goes completely untouched.

At the end of Leshawna asking if Lindsey said something, Tyler reveals himself to claim that she said she was trying to be a boss. He himself envies that. 

He pushes Heather away and calmly helps Lindsey with her hair, who is thanking him for his support, even though she calls him the wrong name.

It prompts a Tyler confessional where he admits that it’s hard to be there for her when she’s smarter than he is. And she doesn’t even remember him well enough for him to make an impact for her in this game… It kind of makes him want to try harder. For her sake.

We then cut over to the guys, where Justin is putting so much spray on his hair, it’s ridiculous. Noah scolds “Who needs that much spray?!” And Justin gives his canon explanation about how it’s his best feature. Noah instead asks if his brain is also his best feature, coughing up some spray as he says so.

“Good, but not the best” Justin claims, which makes Noah mad at him, and the two get into a petty argument, one that triggers Duncan, who is in bed with exhausted looking eyes. He gets up crossed, with papers all over his bed, and he noticeably isn’t wearing his piercings. He scolds them that he hoped to get at least five extra minutes of shut eye, but apparently that’s not a possibility. 

“Well then,” Noah scolds, “Maybe you shouldn’t have gone to bed so late at night!” Which makes Justin add “What were you doing anyway, robbing something?”

“I was with Courtney,” Duncan claims.

The two boys give him an awkward stare and raise eyebrows.

Duncan then adds “We TALKED.”

“You talked about lawsuits?” Noah asks, looking over at all the papers on the bed. 

Duncan then has a confessional, basically a similar one to a canon one (that was originally in episode 24) about how Courtney gave him a package of notes on how to ‘correct his faults’ and MEMORIZE them. The only change here is obvious, and that’s that Duncan doesn’t mention alien probing at all, since this confessional in this rewrite takes place BEFORE that.

Justin asks in concern if Duncan is really okay with this, and Duncan proclaims that it’s all good. She’s hot, she’s helping him, it’s not a big deal. 

Tyler then comes back in the trailer to ask the guys how it’s going, and they all turn to him and ask where he’s been. Tyler is honest that he was with Lindsey, and that it doesn’t matter. Duncan straight up says through his exhaustion that he thinks Tyler is more invested in the blonde chick than his own team.

“I’m still good for the team!” Tyler shoots back, accidentally spilling some hair spray when charging forward. Justin scolds him for spilling it, and before Tyler can apologize and pick it up, Harold comes in wearing only a towel. From there, that moment goes untouched with the context of the spray being on the floor instead of the soap. After Harold loses his towel, Courtney walks in to check on Duncan, only to see what’s happening and casually remarks “Okay sue the crap out of me, I don’t know what’s going on here!”

Duncan covers her eyes and stammers that it’s just a setback. Harold claims he’s comfortable in his own skin, Duncan demands he keeps his skin to himself, Harold leaves, and then afterwards Courtney scolds Duncan that part of the paper was that he actually keeps his space cleaned… and covered.

Duncan apologizes that it won’t happen again, he’ll make sure of that, and Courtney forgives him. Just like she forgave her 376 other lawyers who failed her.

“That’s concerning,” Noah downright claims, and Courtney scolds in confusion that first the girls, now them, isn’t anyone besides Duncan at least happy to see her?

We don’t cut back to the girls, instead from there, we have Chris sounding the horn for the challenge.

Starting off the bat for Chris, we don’t have the awkward flash cut and instead as Chris is laughing everyone is walking up to him. For the most part, Chris explaining Courtney’s rules goes completely untouched until we get to her bit with Duncan. While Courtney does scoff him for the Gwen stuff just like in canon, Duncan scoffs instead that his friendships are not getting in the way of anything, he’s still with her.  (And now here Courtney’s beef with Duncan ‘hooking up with Gwen’ while she was away, actually makes more sense)

“Well at least you have common sense,” Courtney claims happily, offering him the lobster dinner she’s having tonight. Duncan agrees delightfully, but then Courtney snaps that ONLY if he can follow suit with her papers, prompting Duncan to wrap his arms around her from behind in comfort. 

After this exchange, Chris’s explanation of the challenge and the stone age goes completely untouched.

Everyone’s reactions to the cavemen outfits are pretty good too. But I am adding one reaction with Tyler where he asks if the caveman outfit is what makes him look strong. Lindsey agrees, but Noah, flicking away a bug in his pants, asks if that implies sanitary, because if so, absolutely not. Justin also adds to that response “For once, I agree with you.”

From there, Chris goes on to explain the first challenge and give everyone the rocks, and Harold and Duncan’s exchange goes completely untouched. 

We don’t fade out and back in though, (cause that was awkward) and just go right to Chris’s untouched explanation. The Gaffers collecting the sticks goes, for the most part, untouched. Yes, we’re keeping Chef catching Duncan cheating, that’s funny. Changes don’t come until after Harold’s confessional. 

Duncan still trips Harold over and makes him get dragged away by the beavers, but Tyler steps in with the stick to save him, and manages to knock out the one gripping Harold. Tyler holds it’s neck and admirably stares at Lindsey, who giggles at his rescue. That is until a beaver grips his arm and drags him away, and Leshawna is too busy making sure Harold’s okay. He is despite his scratches, and he thanks her, asking flirtingly for a revival with a kiss. Leshawna backs away from that, clearly weary on the whole thing and unsure what to tell him.

From there, the Grips’ fire scene is untouched script wise. The confessionals once again have bad timings, so alongside Duncan and Courtney’s back to back, Lindsey’s is there instead of Heather’s. Heather still snips off Courtney's hair, but for most of this episode, that’s just gonna be a consistent side gag visually. 

From there, we go on to start the fire, and it pretty much goes untouched. Yeah, I’ll explain the Courtney glare later. 

With that, the Grips are handed the bigger bones, for the same reason. Only addition being that Courtney had a cameraman reviewed the footage and correct Chris. When Lindsey is declared to have made fire first, Tyler wraps her in his arms and congratulates her, which causes a stare from the others. 

Tyler has a confessional where he explains that cavemen worshiped the girls, and from what Lindsey can accomplish, he has no problem with giving her the attention she deserves.

At the same time, Lindsey has another confessional where she expresses how great it is to have Tyson support her. She’s an idiot, she’s aware of that, but she’s his idiot. That’s admirable.

Courtney expresses to Duncan that she appreciates the gift (indicating that this was their intention) And Duncan happily remarks that he has a lot more for her, “Sweetheart”. Courtney snarls, making Duncan correct “Courtney.”

Chris then goes on to explain the challenge of the cavemen fighting against each other on the rock pillars. We don’t get Courtney whacking Duncan in the head at all, we’re cutting that part out. Aside from that, this goes untouched. Matches are then set up. The matches themselves are somewhat different from canon. 

First is Leshawna vs Noah. Leshawna asks if she’s supposed to knock off this small boy with this just as small bone. Noah retorts back that at least he’s a smaller target than she is, though he’s struggling to lift his own bone. Chris has his untouched moment with the signal to start, and it’s enough that Noah stammers and drops his bone. Leshawna grins at him as he looks up, and Noah laughs nervously that she’s looking GREAT in that fur! Only for Leshawna to grab him by the arm, wrap him in a ball effortlessly, and slam him into the tar pit.

Point goes to the Gaffers.

Noah pops up from the tar pit, asking what this is made of, and Chris ignores him to declare the next match, as well as the arrival of the paradactyls.

Next is Heather vs Beth. This match is completely untouched, except that Beth’s confessional doesn’t happen until AFTER Heather completely falls into the tar pit. 

Point goes to the Grips.

Next is Tyler vs Lindsey. Tyler asks casually how she’s doing, and that it must be great to have a high ground like this, that she deserves. Lindsey thanks him, and Duncan recoils that it was a great roast. Only Tyler was being genuine with his words, and wasn’t sarcastic. Lindsey asks in confusion what this means, and the sound of the horn, plus the paradactyls still around, makes Lindsey nearly fall off. Tyler however, catches Lindsey before she can fall, claiming that he’s got her, he’s not giving up on her like this. Lindsey blushes at his words, and the two lean in and lock lips despite dangling over the edge.

At this kiss, Duncan snarls and calls out how STUPID they both are! “Just let her go, Tyler! Save yourself!”

A paradactyl comes up at them, and at a last ditch effort, Tyler whips Lindsey over the pillar as he’s pinned by the monster’s beak, making him comedically dangle off the flying bird for a few seconds before losing his grip and falling on the edge of the tar pit, just barely missing it.

Point goes to the Grips.

And for the rest of this episode, Tyler has a bandaged arm.

Next is Harold vs Justin. We don’t have Justin’s confessional and instead go right into the fight. And for the most part, this fight and with the beavers gag is completely untouched. The result however, is different. 

Harold does get thrown off by the beavers, but as he grabs Justin’s fur, he is able to spin around him and catch himself. Justin tries to whack him with his bone, only for Harold to rip off Justin’s fur piece accidentally, which makes Justin fall into the tar pit, with Harold barely dangling off and saving himself. Harold notices the fur piece in his hand, and looks down at Justin rising from the tar pit. Harold apologizes to him, making it clear that it’s okay being comfortable in his own skin. 

Point goes to the Gaffers.

As Justin rises from the pool, Noah angrily asks “How could you lose that?!”

And Justin snaps back “How did YOU lose?!”

And they’re both silenced in the roast being a draw.

And lastly, we have Duncan vs Courtney, in the same column. Duncan teases at Courtney’s grip that he’s grateful to be stuck here with her, and Courtney recoils that it’s nice, being stuck up here with the only thing standing between you and victory is your guy, and a bone. Duncan doesn’t catch this foreshadowing, and helps catch her from falling, driving her into a kiss to try and replicate Lindsey and Tyler’s moment. 

However, after the confessionals, the result is the same. As Courtney uses the opportunity to whack Duncan smack in the groin with the bone, and knock him off (With Chris comedically replaying the frame).

And with that, the Grips win Immunity.

Duncan climbs out of the pool in pain, and looks up to see Tyler focusing less on his safety and more so on Lindsey. He congratulates her for the win, and Lindsey asks if he actually meant what he said on those pillars, and Tyler claims that he does, that she is capable of so much. Smart, beautiful, she deserves a lot. 

The two embrace happily, and Duncan watches, a sad look in his eyes.

The Grips are declared to win the rib, but we don’t get the egg stuff, the rib falling in the tar, or the confessionals AT ALL. 

Instead, the Gaffers are going to be voting someone off.

(Yep, you guys can already tell where this is going)

After a brief comedic bit with Heather chasing the bird with her wig, and Duncan asking in pain why girls go for the kiwis, we go exactly there.

We then cut to the elimination ceremony.

So now we reach the voting sessions, where the votes have been casted, and losers have been selected…

The awards go to Leshawna…

Harold…

Heather…

And Duncan.

Which means that yep. It’s time for Tyler to go.

Tyler asks why this became the case, and Duncan makes it clear that he hasn’t been a team player to them. To the girl, sure, but not to them. Tyler apologizes for such, and tries to ask immediately afterwards if he can say goodbye to Lindsey, only for him to get picked up and thrown into the limo of losers.

There’s then a last Lindsey confessional where she remarks that Tyler is gone, he’s not in the game anymore. Now she has to deal with the Grips alone and without his support? “Ah well, like Trevor said, I can handle it. I hope. He lives on in me.”

Kudos Tyler, and thank you for your addition into Refilming Action!

Episode 15: Million Dollar Babies

Episode 15 opens with Leshawna in the communal bathroom by herself extremely early in the morning. She’s only wearing a robe, and her hair is in the afro, where she takes a box filled with hair pins to fix it into her ponytail. She sighs at herself, staring at her reflection to tell herself “You’re here to win. What you said was not a big deal.”

She glances over at the PDA on the table and holds it close, unsure how to respond to the image on it with her and Leshaniqua at the spa. She plays a brief clip of Leshaniqua talking, who expresses how insane it is that she got kicked off reality TV for popularity alone. “Isn’t that just unfair?”

“Unfair or not, I’m still doing it,” Leshawna says back, repeating her own words from the PDA. Leshaniqua recoils “I can’t understand how you’re even able to put up with all of that! I mean, my career is already a slog to get through, but doing life threatening challenges on a daily basis?! Battling a bear?! Putting up with all those crappy people competing with you for the prize?”

“Heather, definitely,” Leshawna points out, adding to try and disagree “But I wouldn’t say that-”

Leshaniqua cuts her off, proclaiming “No?! From what I’ve seen of that show, I feel bad for you. You deserve a better influence than them, I mean, they’re idiots, delinquents for crying out loud!”

“I guess…” Leshawna trails off, where Leshaniqua keeps pushing the gossip and claims that at least Leshawna knows how to play a game, be a legitimate sabotager and come across as likable. “You really expect me to believe that people not like that are a good influence?”

Leshawna’s face in the present grits her teeth at this, when her voice from the device hesitates, but soon enough claims “Good influence? Of course not! You know why?! They’re all-”

Leshawna turns off the recording, not wanting to hear any more. It’s clear from her face that she’s ashamed of the recording. She mutters under her breath how the heck Courtney found footage of this, and she decides to open the PDA and rip out the SD card inside, throwing it in one of the toilets to discard the memory. 

She has a brief confessional where she remarks that Courtney is a SNITCH. As much as she wants to pound Courtney for that, she has to acknowledge that it’s her fault that recording even exists. She should have never lied in the first place, her relationships are already damaged as is. “Maybe it’s better than being booted from a parrot? I don’t know, it still sucks.”

We then cut over to the guys trailer, where this scene is pretty much untouched. The only addition being is that in a counter of Justin’s line “I’m moving to Canada, except I’m already there.” Noah responds with “Then move to the North Pole.”

They’re interrupted by Courtney springing open their door to shout “WHO TOOK MY PDA?!!”

She glares directly at Harold, who stammers that he didn’t take it. Courtney snaps that he’s a liar, and Duncan tries to assure her to calm down. Courtney snaps “Rule 33 in that packet, don’t tell me to calm down! He rigs me out, then he steals my legal right!”

“I didn’t take it!” Harold tries to say, only for Duncan, frustrated with both of them, demands that Harold give it back. 

That is until Leshawna reveals herself from behind Courtney, fully dressed, and holding out the PDA to hand back to her. Courtney gives a death glare at her before Leshawna lies and says that she found it in the communal bathroom, Courtney must have left it there last night.

“I don’t leave things out of place like that,” Courtney counters, where Leshawna hands it back to her regardless. Leshawna asks that she just take the PDA back, and also take a chill pill while she’s at it. Courtney thanks her, then quietly snarls under her lip that someone better not have tampered with it.

Chris calls them to head over outside with everyone else, and they all oblige. From there, Chris and Chef hand over the spaghetti, and explain the sports movie challenge, and it’s all completely untouched.

And to be honest, while the campers’ running to the court is fine, this part of the episode is just 3 minutes of filler that ends up contributing nothing to the remainder of the challenge or the episode at all. The only thing worthwhile in this is Leshawna getting the idea that the others are trusting her again, but this is something we can easily move to another point. There’s also nothing in there that applies that this sets up the matches for the games, as the teams were doing everything together, plus they ignore that screen and just announce who’s against who anyway. So to prove my point, we are NOT doing all of this.

Right after the lawn comment, Harold comes over to help up Leshawna. She hesitates in not needing it, but ends up accepting it, where he claims that teammates do things together. This makes Heather scoff in the back, and it prompts confessionals from Leshawna and Heather. Leshawna basically has the same confessional from the original about asking if her team is finally trusting her, just reframed with this context. 

Heather scoffs at the idea that ‘teammates look out for each other.’ “The Merge exists for a reason people! And I also cut out Harold and our alliance for a reason! I don’t want to be around someone as uncooperative and daring as them, I’M supposed to be doing the calls here! When I had hair I did anyway.”

From there, Chris goes on to explain the sports challenge, claiming that each team member will be selected by Chris himself in separate games. Heather scoffs that it sounds too far-fetched, but Harold assures her that they’re playing their parts. That is until Chris brings up that someone from the Grips gets a freebee since they have an extra member, and Noah immediately volunteers. 

“Have fun repeating history, Noah!” Justin calls out as Noah sits on the bleachers, and Noah shoots back, “I will!” 

Lindsey has her gardening confessional, and we get started.

We then go on to the marshmallow boxing challenge between Lindsey and Harold. Only TWO tweaks are needed. One is that we don’t have Beth finding the PDA, (especially when she takes that find way too casually). The other is that Chris doesn’t mention that Harold and Lindsey were last place in the football drill, as in this rewrite’s context, there were no football drills.

Other than that, this entire challenge is one of the best moments of the season, especially for the two best characters in the canon, I LOVE IT, and ALL of this is staying. Every line, every frame, every movement, the whole shebang. Just… if the entire season was this ridiculously delightful and entertaining, I would not want to do this rewrite. It’s THAT good.

And YES, we’re keeping the exact same results with Harold winning despite Lindsey knocking him out. Even that makes sense because Chris established those rules before the fight. Plus, Chris is a psychopath, that’s always rule number 1.

We then move on to the badimin challenge. To Justin’s questions at the start, Noah snarks from the bleachers “It’s badimin, genius.”

“Same thing,” Justin calls out, and Noah argues back “No, it’s not.”

From there, Chris’s part is untouched. However, I am cutting out the Chef confessional for being pointless. And there’s a brief shot of Noah writing something down in the book.

The badimin challenge between Beth and Heather goes untouched until the point where Leshawna starts denying Beth’s boyfriend. Which not only does this come out of nowhere in canon, but also because in context of this rewrite, no one’s denied Brady’s existence, they just don’t care. Instead when the Gaffers start cheering, Leshawna goes on to scoff “It’s embarrassing when Heather has more of an edge, sweetie!”

This angers Beth, and we get her badimin moment where she beats Heather. Again, this is kind of untouched, until Leshawna’s comment, which is MUCH different.

Leshawna instead scoffs at Heather's loss that “That was just uncalled for!”

Beth calls out, “I don’t think it is, Leshawna! I think you just don’t get what I can do on my own.”

“I don’t deny that,” Leshawna makes it clear, only smirking and narrowing her eyes at them that “I’m just saying, it sucks to have a crutch on your team that is Courtney.”

This triggers both Courtney and Beth, and they both stomp up to her with Beth asking “What’s that supposed to mean?!”

“I mean that you shouldn’t need her,” Leshawna clarifies, rolling her eyes and muttering “Sheesh, so touchy.”

“You want to know why we’re touchy?!” Courtney points her finger at her in objection, proclaiming to everyone “It’s because people like YOU don’t care about us, and just want us left in the dust!”

Leshawna stands up for herself, accusing Courtney that “I DO NOT THINK THAT! You’re just mad at my team for being competition!” 

“Competition? Or that I actually VALUE my teammate’s competence?” Courtney asks, pulling out her PDA, which stuns Leshawna hard with her entire confidence drained from her face. 

Courtney proclaims with a grin, “You’re just here to destroy us! You hate EVERYONE here! All of your compliments and teamwork value was just an ACT. Because in reality, we’re just PAWNS to YOUR game!”

“You’re one to talk,” Noah scoffs in the back, where Courtney ignores him and reveals “There was a bonus clip of your spa night, Leshawna! Where you said all of that LOUD. AND. CLEAR!”

Leshawna scolds that she has NO proof! 

And Courtney then gives her exactly that, asking “Well what did you do to my PDA in the bathroom this morning? Steal it? Rip out the SD card and destroy it because you didn’t want anyone to figure out about your TRUE feelings?!”

Courtney then smirks and reveals a spare SD card, adding “I think you didn’t realize, I POSTED that clip on the TDA website! EVERYONE online already knows it!”

Leshawna demands that Courtney stops, failing to grab the PDA from her hand. She proclaims that they can talk about this later, the others don’t need to hear this. Heather however, claims that she WANTS to know what exactly Leshawna said about them that was so insulting. (Her voice is clearly sarcastic in disbelief.) Courtney adds onto that, claiming that the others deserve the truth.

With that, she plays the clip.

We don’t fade back out and back in just yet. Instead we hear the recording and see everyone’s reactions right away. There’s some static in between lines, indicating that Courtney’s putting all of this out of context to make Leshawna look more spiteful than what the actual moment was. (Because wow, the dialogue in that canon scene was just unnatural)

(And, if we’re feeling ambitious, we can even have a separate bonus clip of the entirety of the conversation Leshawna and Leshaniqua had)

But yeah, overall, this is a pretty brutal scene, as there’s no music at all, just everyone’s hurt faces and Leshawna’s words from the PDA.

“Good influence? Of course not! You know why?! They’re all pathetic! I mean, seriously, not a single word of sincerity and respect has come out of them! Heather for example, just mean for the sake of it.”

“The Grips have nothing against me! They’re brain dead AT BEST. Noah and Justin, just a bunch of lazy egotists who think they own the team because their strategy ‘works.’”

“If Beth and Lindsey’s brains were made of soap. I’d believe it!”

“I mean, my OWN TEAM doesn’t want to cooperate with me! Duncan REALLY wants people to think he’s a bad boy, but he’s more so just whining and playing the act.” “Cause he’s scared?” Leshaniqua asks, and Leshawna answers “Probably! Can you say insecurity?!”

Courtney pauses the recording, and everyone glares at Leshawna. Leshawna stammers that it’s not TOO bad, Courtney put that out of context, her sister was… was… 

She can’t figure out how to describe it other than “She prompted it, basically.”

“You still shouldn’t have said that!” Duncan scolds, and Leshawna tries everything to explain. She tries to explain that she was just being REAL. They’re playing this game in such a pathetic way and allowing so many things to get the best of them, THAT’S what she means.

Courtney rolls her eyes, scoffing “You just hate us! You just want to win yourself!”

Leshawna tries to come up with something, only to find she has no words to counter that. Realizing at that moment, that Courtney is right.

Harold, the only character not being made fun of in the recording yet, tries to separate the two. Though he’s lingering himself. “Look, she made a mistake. A BIG mistake, but… I don’t know, maybe that was the past, she’s opened up to things now-”

Courtney shoves the PDA in his hands, pressing the record button for Harold to see himself.

“What about the scrawny kid?” Leshaniqua asks, “He gets a pass?” “What do you mean ‘a pass’?” Leshawna asks, and Leshaniqua recoils that the boy has gone all sweet and soft over her. “What an incel that boy is, giving you NO space and no say of your own? You’re way over that boy’s level!” Leshawna in the recording claims that he’s not entirely a bad guy, but Leshaniqua cuts her off and asks what she thinks he’s WORTH. 

Leshawna says “Oh, I don’t know, probably an old schooler getting as much love as a background post in a play!?”

In the present, Harold is completely saddened, his hand shaking on the grip of the PDA. He looks up at Leshawna briefly, who is unable to say anything. 

The recording keeps going, where Leshaniqua says directly “Seriously girl, you deserve better! You deserve so much more than that dweeb. To think you actually KISSED him…”

“If I could, I’d take that back!” Leshawna claims in the recording, trying to prove to her sister she’s a winner by doubling down that “I don’t care.”

With that, Harold drops the PDA altogether in his shock, and Courtney barely catches it. She scolds Harold to be careful with the device, but no one responds. Instead Harold turns his back and walks out of the court, claiming he needs some air.

Leshawna immediately runs over to try and stop him, apologizing over and over again. She makes every excuse she can possibly make as he keeps walking away and refuses to look at her. That she was just making a point. That she wasn’t thinking straight. That Leshaniqua wanted her to say that. That she was joking. That she was just trying to make an impression, and he’s… 

“-An embarrassment?” Harold finally asks to that last one, pausing his movement. 

“No! No… you’re just…” Leshawna tries to say, trying to hold his hand in comfort, only to end up saying “You’re just not my type, that’s all.”

Harold finally turns back at her and snatches his hand away, the heartbreak in his eyes becoming contagious to Leshawna as he exclaims “Then why didn’t you just say that to my face?!”

Harold stammers “Why didn’t you just punch me in the face like everyone else does, instead of teasing me by actually reading my letters and giving me all those loving gestures?! Why didn’t you just throw them away? Why didn’t you just shove me in that boat in rejection? I thought you cared about me, Leshawna… I thought you loved me.”

Leshawna has nothing to say in the heartbreak of his words and crack in his voice. She can’t say anything, as she already knows very well that this is all her fault. She hugs herself alone as Harold walks into the dark tunnels in between the bleachers, transitioning to the screen fading to black.

As we fade back into the show, the other campers are leaning by the tunnel walls near the entrance. Leshawna is the only one not there, as she’s sitting in the bleachers staring at the court blankly. 

Noah and Justin are next to each other, with Justin being unfazed by the situation. “The fact she could pull that off…” Justin mutters quietly, referring to Courtney “That’s insane.” “She had a point,” Noah claims, having his arms crossed, where he’s clearly letting Leshawna’s words sink in. Noah looks at the book in his hands, asking himself “Why am I still here?”

“Leshawna told it as is, and that was just brutal honesty,” Heather claims, which brings everyone’s attention as she makes it clear “So what? People bad mouth each other all the time, it’s a form of speech. I do that to you guys way more often.”

Lindsey tries to break that by claiming that Heather was called mean and nasty, but Heather shoots back that she can live with that. “You could say I’m the queen of that title.”

Chef blows a whistle to have everyone come along for the next game, and though they hesitate, all but Heather oblige. Heather looks back to notice Harold doesn’t know the instructions, and she turns back to find him.

She finds Harold jogging outside the court, clearly losing his breath quickly as the camera focuses on his sweating face and the gushes of wind in the sky. Heather chases after him and joins him, trying to lighten his mood and tease “You do realize you’re going circles, right?” 

And a zoomed out frame shows that Harold is only jogging around a tree over and over again.

Heather tries to scoff that she didn’t break their alliance so he could be petty, she did it so he could be as pathetic as he was before. “Thanks for spelling it out!” Harold bitterly scoffs, continuing his jog with Heather constantly trying to block him off.

Heather claims that he really should just get over it, let that fish go, there are others in the sea. But Harold doesn’t listen, and as he’s jogging past her, he recoils that so far today he’s been told to die, got falsely accused for stealing someone’s device, got set up to be beat up with marshmallows, and turns out the only crush in his life so far hates him. And considering Heather FORCED him to work with her before and tried to drag him along her orders, he really doesn’t want to hear a thing from her.

Heather cuts him off from his track, proclaiming “You know, I thought you said you were alone by choice.”

“Yeah, cause I accepted that I wasn’t gonna be liked by anyone a LONG time ago,” Harold says, trying to get through only for Heather to grip a hand on his shirt to stop him and make him look at her. 

“And I finally understood what you meant by that now and not before the Island, now you spit that claim in my face,” Heather scoffs, clearly annoyed with him and adding “Thanks a lot.”

“You deserved it,” Harold scoffs back, “You tried to use people, including myself. I’m still trying to figure out what I did.”

“Well sometimes people are just stubborn like that!” Heather blurts out, unsure how to put it herself “Maybe… maybe we just can’t see anyone as people for the sake of getting what we want.”

Harold finally sits down on the tree to catch his breath, unsure what else to say as his hand grips the grass. “But I never meant to view Leshawna as an accessory, that’s not how I see her. Do you not understand what it’s like to finally find love, and it turns out she doesn’t even want you? That you really are just a desperate incel who drove her away?”

“No I don’t,” Heather proclaims bitterly, “I don’t know what love is.” (Which, again, is FORESHADOWING)

Harold argues back, “YOU didn’t even want me to help you. YOU. So just let me wallow away like a rational person!”

“Dude, I have no hair!” Heather argues, removing her wig briefly to show him, “I have no power left to carry around someone like you! You know why I ditched you when you saved OUR LIVES?!”

“Because I was holding you back,” Harold guessed, only for Heather to sit down next to him and answer “Because I couldn’t contain what you brought to the table. I thought you were a pawn, I thought I could use you for my own gain… and turns out we all do that. But does a pawn really have a crush? Feelings? Be sincere with people? Be annoying as I’ll get out and drive you crazy? Make you want to punch them? Let alone that again, you saved my life! You saved all of our lives! With that dedication, who cares if Leshawna doesn’t feel the same way for you? Who cares if Duncan hates you for stupid reasons he can’t get over? Sometimes… sometimes we just need to look out for ourselves. Decide what WE think is good for us that doesn’t involve others.”

Harold looks at Heather awkwardly, especially after Heather tries and fails to touch his shoulder in comfort, where she slaps her hand down too hard. 

“You’re really bad at this, you know that?” Harold brings up, and Heather rolls her eyes to scoff “I am trying here! Okay? Give me a break.”

Harold gives a smile at her, soon enough looking away to add “I really should have listened to her the first time before I tried to push a relationship. Maybe she said that out of discomfort.”

“Eh, possibility,” Heather shrugs, adding “Girl’s feisty.”

“Right?” Harold says in delight, beginning to gush again “And the way she’s direct with everyone and being such a boss all the time…”

As he’s gushing, Heather mutters “I’m starting to think ‘incel’ was a great word for Leshawna to use…”

We then cut to the other campers by the ball pit bleachers. Leshawna noticeably away from everyone. From there, we get Chris explaining the challenge and the set up between Courtney and Duncan. This goes pretty much untouched, even their confessionals, though one cut being that Duncan doesn’t mention Trent and Gwen… cause there is no point.

But the Courtney and Duncan wrestling match in general is…

Surprisingly untouched.

Remember, Courtney values winning more than Duncan, and Duncan himself in this version is okay with that, thus okay with her assault. But this IS going to come into play later in this rewrite.

We then move on to the last face off, Justin and Leshawna in the slam dunk competition. Already there’s a tweak here, as instead of Harold’s insults from canon, Harold and Heather are both walking up to the challenge. Leshawna gazes at them, but they both look away from her, and Leshawna is saddened by this, prompting her canon confessional. 

Before Justin does his slam dunk, Noah calls out to try and give advice, saying to go for the drama spice. Which Justin does with his canon dunk. And Leshawna’s slam dunk goes canon as well, with the same results.

With that, we move on to the tiebreaker that includes cheering for someone. The explanation goes untouched from Chris. (Gosh I feel like I’ve said that a lot) In the Grips huddling, Noah steps in to claim he knows who they can cheer for, holding up his book and proclaiming that he’s studied ‘his’ actions today. It could work.

We don’t hear his plan, instead we go to the Gaffers, and they go pretty much untouched. They get timed out, leaving Leshawna to improvise on the spot, doing a cheerleader apology to the other campers. There are some tweaks here, with the cheer itself, the framework and animation is totally fine, but since it can somewhat be classified as a song, and that’d mean I’d have to rewrite the whole thing if I do that, please work with me on keeping it brief. 

In this cheer, Leshawna gushes over the pairing of Duncan and Courtney, calling it ‘sad but superefficient,’ claims Lindsey and Beth have the hearts that overpower their brains, digresses Noah and Justin as brains vs beauty that match in brutality, calls Heather the Queen of Mean, and lastly confesses through the cheer that she values Harold’s ‘goofy and scrawny’ demeanor in more ways than anyone, including herself, can express and see in him. 

She ends the whole thing with “I think you’re crazy, but hey I am too. Who cares about the win when I have all of you?”

This cheer gets the same reactions as canon, pretty much. 

And also in canon, the Grips counter it all with a cheer for Chris, and OF COURSE Chris picks them as the winners, because loves himself. And probably no one else.

After the cheer, Justin high fives Noah for the good idea, but they both immediately take it back in disgust. Instead, Noah retoils “Try studying from the sidelines once in a while.” To which Justin points out, “Trust me Noah, I have… and we gotta do something.”

We then cut to the elimination ceremony.

So now we reach the voting sessions, where the votes have been casted, and losers have been selected…

The awards go to Harold…

Duncan…

And lastly, unfortunately for Leshawna…

She’s safe.

Which means that just like in canon, Heather is eliminated. 

But I do want to clear something up, and that’s that the voting process in my mind, looks like this: (Harold -> Duncan, Duncan -> Heather, Leshawna -> Heather, Heather -> Leshawna) So if anyone asks ‘Why did Harold vote off Heather in this continuity?’ He didn’t. 

But the confessional collab with Duncan and Harold is fine enough and stands with that point, so I’m okay with keeping that in.

(Yes, even the hug in that. I know you Duncan and Harold shippers exist for some bizarre gross reason, and you exist because you reframed this context. Don’t you hide from me!)

Anyway, Heather departs to the limo of losers. (I’m still shocked that’s not what it’s actually called.) But before she leaves, Harold runs up to her to bid her farewell, even apologizing for her loss.

Heather asks, hanging on the limo door, if he remembers back at the river where he asked if they could be friends at the end of all of this. Harold confirms, and Heather proclaims that she wants to put that into consideration. For real this time, not for the game’s sake. But if he tries to push the crush talk to her, or talk about her hair, she’s going to take it all back. “Got it!?”

Harold agrees to such, and Heather leaves.

…

And in case anyone's wondering why I did this instead of Leshawna and Heather becoming friends, basically why I cut that altogether, here’s why. I originally DID keep this, but the show does nothing with that concept. Especially in World Tour, which forgets about it altogether. Plus in this canon episode, it was just rushed and made no sense. Heather and Harold meanwhile had been built up from the Island special, PLUS Harold does end up helping Heather in World Tour, something the show doesn’t forget about. So focusing on their mutual friendship instead with Heather discovering Harold as more than just a pawn, and Harold understanding her shoes, feels more like a fitting continuation from Island, that ends up impacting World Tour all the more. 

Continuity. It matters.

So anyway… BACK TO THE ACTION!!!

Episode 16: Dial M For Merger

Episode 16 begins with everyone sitting around the trailer grounds. Courtney is chatting away with Duncan as they both share toast and jam. Duncan calls her move brilliant, as well as complimenting her wrestling skills, remarking how he has a sore throat now. Courtney happily chimes back that it was playing a good game, and she might even say that they have no competition whatsoever. 

As she bites into her toast, Duncan points out that Courtney has jam in her teeth. However, this makes Courtney snap, asking him to remember a certain page of the packet, that he doesn’t criticize her! EVER. 

Duncan apologizes, complaining that it’s just hard to study. “I want to burn something so bad it’s making me sick!”

“Well unless you want to go back to prison, that’s too bad,” Courtney says simply.

Noah and Justin are watching this, and Noah tells Justin “I didn’t know you studied.” Justin ignores him and asks “You’ve seen them, right? Courtney has her own alliance up her sleeve?” This indicates that off screen, they’ve been talking about this situation. 

“Girl has lawyers and admin privileges,” Justin points out, making it clear “Look, I know you and I never liked each other.” 

“That’s putting things lightly,” Noah says.

Justin continues “And we both want to drown each other in each other’s skin right now.”

“For me, it’s textbooks,” Noah points out.

“Whatever,” Justin gets to the point, claiming “Point is, you and I both know that we HAVE to take. Courtney. Down. If we let her play her cards, she’s going to destroy both of us. Then we BOTH lose the game.”

“Thanks obvious,” Noah claims, standing up to deny his deal. He asks Justin “Give me one good reason why I should be in any alliance with you?”

Justin is ready to charm him, only for Noah to snap “And I DON’T want to hear ‘ah well, I’m so hot I can win anybody over!’ YOU CAN’T!”

“Never doubt yourself, Noah,” Justin shrugs, and in his words Leshawna walks up to everyone. From there, the scene goes completely untouched. Nobody wants to be around Leshawna, she tries to get support from her teammates, she fails, and of course, everyone gets kidnapped.

This is untouched, the only tweak needed is how Noah gets captured, and that’s because he gets locked out of the trailer alongside Harold. Noah tries to scream at Justin that now he leaves him to die?! And he gets zapped by touching the door and passes out, making Harold run away and prompt his confessional. 

With everyone waking up, it’s also untouched except for one tweak. When Justin starts whining, Noah is the one to smack him in the back of the head with his book, directly calling Justin pathetic. To this, Justin grabs Noah’s arm to pull him closer, snarling in a question if Noah would like it if he was ugly.

“Relax, prince,” Noah scoffs, “It’s just karma. That’s all.”

Justin swears that he’ll SHOW him what karma looks like, and then it cuts to the Beth and Courtney moment. Other than that, this is completely untouched, Chris’s moment and explanation of the challenges, the confessionals, and the announcement that these characters are all MERGED.

Yep, we’ve finally reached that point.

Unfortunately, I do have to cut out the merge song, for THIS part of the episode. (I’m moving it) Because as much as it’s such a satisfying scene, it really comes out of nowhere and breaks the flow of the current moment. Instead this merge song is going to happen at the very end of this episode, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

When Leshawna says her “After all we’ve been through?!” line, Duncan tells her coldly to get over it. From there, this scene goes pretty much untouched. The only change here is with the confessionals. Justin’s is pretty much the same, only here when he pounds his head he accidentally spills a perfume jar on the table, making him scoff “No, no it’s not there.” 

Then we have another confessional after Justin’s, one of Noah.

His eyes are widened in shock as he asks “Oh my gosh, does Justin actually have brain cells? Is he finally going to listen to me?!” He looks down to see the exact same spilled jar, and he groans at himself to say “I’m going to take this as a no.”

We get to the challenge of stealing the bag. Though instead of Duncan going ahead first before the lasers come in, it’s Justin. (Because seriously, Duncan is a delinquent and a criminal, he should expect this.) Another tweak is that Justin asks Noah directly if he has any ideas, rather than his own brain line, and Noah scoffs “Do I look like a criminal to you?”

Lindsey and Beth’s scene, and Courtney and Duncan’s moment, are untouched. Again, changes come with Justin. Justin is in the back with Noah, who the latter scoffs at the former that he doesn’t think Justin’s brain has been exercised for sixteen years. “I can do this,” Justin assures him, and Noah laughs at that, asking “Oh, what are you going to do? Use that mirror of yours to reflect the lasers?”

Justin grabs Noah again and picks him up, making a short Noah dangle from his grip to meet Justin’s height and for the two to lock spiteful eyes. “I have no problem shoving you in!” Justin snarls, and Noah smirks back and asks “Why? Cause you don’t have anything left to lose? How do you think I felt when you not only broke my friend’s jaw, but also shoved me in the dust years ago?!”

Justin steps forward to shove Noah into the lasers, but because Noah dropped his book when he got grabbed, Justin trips on it and they both slide across the floor. Justin is barely able to clutch his mirror to save himself from the lasers. Noah is crushed under his body, unable to do anything as Justin grins at him and asks “How’s that for the brain dead model you call me?” 

“Just…” Noah tries to speak, but being crushed makes his voice raspy “Don’t get us killed.”

Before we cut to anyone else, we have Justin questioning his circus career. Noah is able to barely climb out, and he tries to roast, but is breathing heavily “I would… never hire you… even if you… you… I don’t have the oxygen to insult you.”

From there, starting with the Leshawna, Harold, and Duncan bit, the remainder of this goes completely untouched.

After Courtney gets the bag, Chris does the explosion fakeout. We DON’T fade out and back in, then just replay the moment, that was extremely awkward, and the show has NOT done something like this up until this point, so it doesn’t work. Some other tweaks are here with everyone’s reactions, like when Leshawna hugs Justin, Harold is standing there and backing away in distraught, opting instead to curl up in his own way. Instead of him saying “I’m too knowledgeable to die!” It’s Noah.

But of course, it’s a fakeout.

Courtney doesn’t push away Duncan though, and they don’t have their confessionals, because in context here, she’s in a relationship with Duncan. 

I’m also going to extend their escape time to one minute instead of thirty seconds. Because even if you want me to stretch out the amount of time these exchanges actually take in the tower escape, THIS is just crazy. So yeah, one minute.

But the exchanges themselves are completely untouched. There really isn’t anything out of character or anything to add here that I can find. Courtney opts to escape herself and leave them to die, she gets them to share the prize money with her to save them, and turns out it’s all a false alarm. 

We then move on to the untouched explained bomb defusing challenge. These are untouched until, again, Justin. (Sheesh Justin in the canon episode) To Justin’s moment, Noah angrily scoffs “It’s called PICK ONE!” As he’s trying to study the wires himself. 

“I suppose you know?” Justin asks, and Noah scoffs that of course he doesn’t! But at least he’s putting in the effort. Justin asks why he’d do that, and in a quick explanation with Noah being bitter the whole time, Noah says that what Leshawna said about him at the spa, WAS THE TRUTH. She had every right to say that about him, even if it hurt. “Because honestly, school sucks, I didn’t have to try to get straight As, I didn’t have to be challenged in any way to get a president position, and neither did you! But we’re in the real world, and in a real world stance, we gotta take this stuff down before it destroys us!”

As he’s holding some wires, Justin asks “So… what do you mean by that? The bombs, or…”

“YES!” Noah finally proclaims “I don’t want to, but YES, I will work with you! But only until we get rid of Courtney, AND you listen to MY plan on how to do it! Deal?”

Justin agrees, and then asks Noah what his plan is to defuse the bomb.

To which in a brief comedic line, Noah says “I have no idea.”

And with that, the Lindsey moment is completely untouched, as she’s able to use her own knowledge to break the blue wire and attempt to save everyone…

But because the bombs were going to go off anyway, regardless of what wire they cut, they all die to the lack of oxygen to their scent.

RIP Mergers. You all lived good lives.

The tomato bath moment is, for the most part, untouched. After all this reward talk and the entire moment, we get a transition to the morning sun after those twelve hours of tomato bathing. Everyone is worn out and sick of each other, especially when Lindsey finishes off her extremely long monolog with “And that’s me and my genius knowledge of cheese!”

“Great,” Noah face palms, slumping into the juice to groan “I really want to die.”

Duncan and Courtney are cuddled together in their own section of the pool. Courtney is smiling in his arms, admitting that if it weren’t for these losers around them, this would almost be bearable. 

“Would you really leave us to die in a building?” Duncan asks, where Courtney answers “That depends. Would you take into consideration that I NEED to be an efficient CIT?”

“I thought I already did, but I guess that’s not good enough for you,” Duncan sighs, and Courtney makes it clear “You just have to change for me Duncan. There’s no problem with that. We have an entire merge to explore.”

“So guys?” Lindsey tries to bring up, excited over the news to bring up “I guess this means we’re all together now! No more teams, right? We can just have chats like this in harmony!”

Everyone is dead silent at her enthusiasm. That is until Leshawna brings up “At least it’s better than hearing you guys talk for a whole night in a tomato bath.”

“Watch your words,” Noah calls out, and Leshawna counters back “Watch yours.”

With that, Harold jumps out of the tomato bath and grabs his keytar, and from there, we get the Merge Song. 

It’s pretty much an untouched song, except that they’re all near the tomato bath as the stink clears away to reveal the bright daylight sky as the song progresses, and by the end of the song, everyone is united in one happy merge, and as they throw their hands and confetti into the air, the camera floats up to the light in the sky as the music ends.

Fade to black, and the episode ends.

Episode 17: Super Hero-ld

(Okay, I actually messed up what this canon episode was called, for the longest time I thought it was called ‘Super Hero-ID’ But it wasn’t until I looked up the episode on the wiki for understanding the references in the episode better, where I realized it was actually a play on Harold’s name. Yeah, Harold of all people has an episode named after him. I kind of don’t like that for this specific show, having episodes be named after certain characters when every single episode is focused on multiple people, but hey, good for Harold.)

So… to clear that up, Episode 17 starts just like with the original with Duncan bullying Harold over a burrito. 

And since it was prompted in the rewrite’s last episode, Justin and Noah both try to recruit Duncan and Harold in their alliance. We don’t get a mention of there being more girls than guys here, because in this rewrite’s logic, there’s 4 guys and 4 girls here. Instead, we get the two mentioning that Courtney is a huge threat to them with her lawsuits, and her power and skill, with Noah even mentioning that they think these two can help out because Duncan is her crush, and Harold rigged her off last season. 

Harold scolds them to STOP defying him by that one wrong action, claiming he’s not doing it again, but they don’t listen. Duncan then scoffs that they don’t have to target Courtney specifically, with the statement that she over relies on her lawsuits and it’ll bite her in the butt when the time comes. 

Justin asks “But what if it doesn’t?” And Duncan rolls his eyes to claim that if they want him to turn on his own girlfriend, they’re gonna have to do better than that.

Both Duncan and Harold walk away, and Noah face palms from behind. Justin asks Noah “Are you sure about this?” And Noah asks back if he has anything better to say in his own chessy brain.

With his line transitioning to the cut of the girls cabin with Courtney and Lindsey returning from their cheese factory tour. When they get inside, Courtney immediately goes for the spray and Lindsey happily greets back Leshawna and Beth. Since Beth is closer Lindsey pulls her in for a hug, and Beth pushes her away to comment that she stinks. Lindsey then brings up that the smell is the cheese she brought back, taking it out and offering it to the others. When Beth says no, and Courtney says “Not if your hands were on it,” Lindsey asks if Leshawna wants it, but she gets no answer.

Leshawna is in her bed curled up, her mind lost in thought as she scrolls through Courtney’s PDA, and with earbuds on she hears the recording play over and over again on the part where she bad mouths Harold. When that part ends, Courtney rips off the earbuds and snatches the PDA from Leshawna, scolding that if she wants to mope, do it when she wins, that’s her best advice. Leshawna says nothing to that, even after Lindsey asks her if she wants the cheese and she kindly denies.

We then cut back to the guys with Justin trying to persuade Duncan in the bathroom while they’re brushing their teeth. Already there are tweaks here, like Harold is NOT in this scene, and Duncan is looking over the packet as well. 

“You gotta listen to me, and if I’m working with Noah on this, that should be a guaranteed message that I’m being sincere,” Justin explains, but Duncan spits on the floor and scolds, still reading “I really don’t care about your toddler act in the sand pit with him.”

“If we don’t boot Courtney, we’re going to be next on her chopping block.” Justin counters, “Trust me when I say, she doesn’t care how much you try to be her slave, she’ll ditch you for the million bucks any day. Frankly, I’d do that too, but… I’m not helping my case.”

“I’m fine with that,” Duncan tells him, and before he can leave Justin grabs the packet from him to look at it. After skimming through it, Justin says “This looks way too similar to my modeling documents.”

“I guess you could say that,” Duncan claims, putting his toothbrush away along with several piercings. (Cause remember, Duncan isn’t wearing his piercings anymore) “You’re frustrated with her,” Justin assumes, and Duncan turns his head back to jab Justin “Don’t tell me how to deal with my girlfriend! Get your own!”

He walks out of the bathroom, leaving Justin to only roll his eyes at the jab.

I am cutting out the Chris massage scene, because it’s pointless.

We then cut to Harold and Noah in beds across from each other, Noah having explained everything to Harold. “Well, you say I know how to get rid of Courtney,” Harold tells him, “Truth is, I don’t, and I won’t. Last time I did, it left everything in my screen time to go wrong.” 

“Well, what do YOU want from us?” Noah offers, where Harold brings up “Respect. Admiration. Time away from Duncan.”

Noah then says, “Out of stock, sorry.”

“Then I’m retired,” Harold states, curling up on his bed to declare “Find someone else.”

Noah chimes in, “Hate to say it, but you’re the best option I’ve got, I mean, there’s two stupid chics, a boyfriend to Courtney, a brain dead male model, and Leshawna.”

“And a snarky know-it-all,” Harold adds, making Noah feel the roast and scoff “Oh shut up.”

“You just want to use me as a sidekick,” Harold tells him, “How do I know you’re not going to ditch me once we do get out Courtney?”

Noah puts a finger up, ready to object, only for his breath to linger.

It transitions to a confessional from Noah, where he admits “Dang. He’s got a point there. I should have considered my track record.”

In the present, Noah answers “Because I know someone who will, and hesitate less than me.”

“Even if I want to get rid of Duncan, even if he wasn’t in a relationship with Courtney, he’s a lot more powerful than myself.” Harold brings up, where Noah claims “Power is subjective. That’s just your perspective from such, this is the real world, not a world where people have superpowers and break through windows at their own free will-”

And just as he says that, the cat crashes through the window and makes a karate pose, making Harold jump and let out a girl's scream, and for Noah to scream “Are you kidding me?! What is this script?!”

That’s when they all hear Chef’s screaming, causing everyone to run outside and see him tied to a tree from a rope, wearing his dress. 

Courtney scolds that a girl CANNOT get her sleep, and Leshawna asks what is even happening. Which brings up Chris in the Batman outfit to save Chef, which is basically the same scene but in the night behind the trailers instead. (I mean, come on, he’s parodying Batman, a hero who only comes out at night, get your DC heroes right Total Drama!)

Chris’s superhero explanation is, by his dialogue untouched. Only in this context, it’s the middle of the night, and they’re expected to work all night to get their superhero costumes done to present early in the morning, which also means a lack of breakfast. Harold and his owl monolog is also fine enough that I’m okay with keeping it in.

After the explanation of the challenge, the guys walk back to get to work. Noah catches up with Justin to ask how it went, and Justin claims that he expects him to reason with a criminal. “Come on, we’re guys!” Noah tries to say to both Justin and Duncan, “We become sleep deprived together, we starve together-”

And it prompts Harold to walk by and thank Duncan for the burrito.

Noah is left silent at that, and Justin scoffs “You really need to keep your mouth shut.”

After Harold’s confessional, we go straight to costume designing. We don’t have the girls' aged cheddar exchange because it’s pointless. Chris’s explanation of the challenges is untouched completely. 

Again, the confessional from Lindsey is staying, but the timing was bad. So we do the whole scene of her fighting with Courtney over fabric, the latter winning, and THEN get to that confessional. Other than that, this montage is completely untouched.

In regards to the presentations, Beth and Justin are pretty much untouched. But in between Justin and Harold is Noah’s superhero costume. Now, just like with the cheerleading song, I am gonna keep this brief. Basically, Noah is ‘Bolt of Burns’ a parody of Shazam, where in his case his superpower is burning things… with his words. He barely cares about the superhero act, and just demonstrates by saying that Justin and Beth’s designs look like cardboard cutouts, which offends them, and that Chris’s obsession with tights is so tight, he should audition for a ballerina in a cheesy musical. 

Chris however isn’t fazed by his words, claiming that he actually has been in one. With him barely being fazed by it and calling his powers ‘ineffective’, he gives Noah 4 points.

Harold’s is… untouched, pretty much. Not gonna lie, I WAS thinking about changing it. Not because it’s gross, but because this style is more so Owen than Harold, and even the canon episode acknowledges this. But then I remembered this is the same guy who is the worst roommate ever, so… eh, I can believe this enough that he gets a pass.

Duncan’s is untouched. I mean come on. It’s Duncan. He doesn’t give a s**t.

Courtney and Leshawna are also untouched pretty much, but of course Lindsey with her Wonder Woman cosplay wins the game. This is really just too funny to cut. Ah, we love our airheaded princess. 

From there, we move onto the second challenge, explanation completely untouched. 

Lindsey’s round is also completely untouched. Nothing else to add here. Harold’s round is also untouched, but I AM getting rid of Leshawna’s confessional response, cause… NO. Keeping Harold’s hero persona is already gross as is. 

We then get a montage with everyone else. Error correction with Beth interacting with Dunacn’s test, even though they’re doing this separately. 

Just like in canon though, Courtney wins immunity.

The guys meet up at the trailer that night, Harold complaining about how he got robbed from the challenge. None of them want to listen, as Duncan asks who they’re gonna boot together. Justin recommends Courtney, only for Noah to snap “Courtney has immunity you piece of plastic!”

“Well if we’re not booting Courtney, I guess I can help you,” Duncan says, then recommending they vote off Leshawna. Noah claims he likes that, but Harold calls this out, claiming they’re supposed to be helping her, and they should vote Duncan off.

Duncan threatens him that unless he cooperates, the girls are going to outnumber their votes. He HAS to cooperate with this. He tries to threaten him, but it doesn’t work on Harold. This is framed as basically that same moment, but afterwards, Noah comments that even if they all cooperate on voting off Leshawna, they need help from at least one of the girls to do so. Otherwise there could be a tie, and who knows if whoever they’re choosing to vote off will actually win that? 

Justin asks “So what do we do about that?” And Duncan, knowing who they can get to work with, claims that he has an idea. They get to Courtney behind the girl’s back, convince her, and then it’ll be five to three. “Yeah, but we’d have to go behind Leshawna’s back,” Noah brings up, asking “How do we distract her?”

Which makes everyone stare at Harold.

The girls in the shower go untouched for the most part. After Beth leaves, Leshawna sighs to herself, which makes Lindsey ask what’s wrong. Leshawna smiles and assures Lindsey that it’s not her, “It’s just… I don’t think I’ll make it out of this. If I don’t, I’d have to go home… no other path for me.”

Lindsey however, laughs at that, laughing at the idea that there’s no other path. This confuses Leshawna, only for Lindsey to clarify that who cares if she doesn’t win a million bucks? She never passed seventh grade, but that didn’t stop her from being here. Leshawna, confused by these words, puts on her clothes and heads outside, claiming she’s going to get some quiet and think about it. Before she leaves, she apologizes to Lindsey for the inconvenience she caused at her time here.

She walks out to the trailer grounds to sit down on a hillside and look at the stars, taking a deep breath as she does so. 

That’s when her silence is interrupted by the sound of a slamming trailer door, a lock being clicked, and someone banging, as well as a deep raspy voice shouting “You steal my cape and then you kick me out of the place?! GOSH!”

Leshawna looks up to see Harold, still mostly in his costume but without the stamp and the cape, stomping out of the trailers in frustration. She calls his name softly, making him stop dead in his tracks to see her sitting by the hillside on her own. He hesitates, but walks over to her and sits down, greeting her quietly.

Leshawna greets back, asking if he couldn’t stand this drama either, to which Harold shrugs. He looks over for a second to see Duncan, Justin, and Noah, all in their superhero outfits, escaping from the windows of the trailer and making their way to the girls cabin, Duncan pointing at him in a threat to keep the act going.

Throughout the rest of this scene, these three are seen from time to time in the background running into a few shenanigans to get to the other trailer, like animals, trying to stalk on the two, and whatever you guys want to imagine.

“So…” Harold tries to start a conversation, unsure what to say to her, “Here’s the thing, I feel like I should be talking, but I don’t know what to say if I don’t write it down…”

“What?” Leshawna raises an eyebrow at that, and when Harold tries to apologize, Leshawna stammers that it’s fine. 

“I just… I should be the one apologizing…” Leshawna admits, “About what I did to you. I have no excuse for that, I was nervous, I didn’t think I was doing what they wanted, I… I completely forgot what made me such a popular camper in the first place.”

“It’s okay,” Harold admits, hugging his knees and telling her that he’s not mad at her. He really should have considered her position and her feelings before he put all of this on her, he should have respected her choice to dump him the first time she said such. 

He buries his head in his legs, groaning to himself that he’s an idiot. Leshawna tries to comfort him and assures him that he’s not an idiot, he shouldn’t apologize for what others see in him. 

“Really?” Harold asks, unsure how to take that, “I mean, here I am as a laughingstock for everyone, Duncan keeps beating me just to complain about Courtney, you didn’t even want me in the first place. You were just kissing me back at the Island out of sympathy, you don’t actually care-”

Leshawna cuts him off, immediately stating that she didn’t mean that. She didn’t mean a word she said about him at that spa night, and she regrets ever being scared to reject such thoughts. 

Leshawna also hugs her knees, pointing up at the bright stars and the night sky to try and prove her point to him. 

“I’m not… very good at seeing people besides their first impression. A ‘black and white’ mindset I guess… Like, once Heather said one mean thing, I rivaled her for all it was worth and casted her out of my heart. Once I saw Gwen for her soft side, I considered her a shining star… thing is, I never knew how to classify you.”

“Classify… me?” Harold asks, where Leshawna tries to explain “I mean… you’ve got issues. You’re pushy, you’re clingy, you made some regrettable choices, you pick your nose in your sleep-”

“You know about that?” Harold asks surprised, and Leshawna ignores him to bring home her point “But even with that, I could never shun you out. You weren’t like any guy I’ve seen in real life before, and it… it gave me something else to see, a whole other path in my life, let alone in this game. I was… scared I was doing something wrong when I broke up with you, that I’m expected to date a buff rich boy, and therefore I should… not what my heart was telling me.”

Harold’s silence lingers at that, gazing at Leshawna still looking at the stars. His face uncovers a shade of pink as he tries to look away from her. He assumes that what she’s saying is “Look… if I’m not the hero you need, I totally get it. If you don’t want me, I get it… it hurts but…”

That’s when to his shock, Leshawna crawls over and presses her lips on his cheek, soon enough hugging his side and resting her head on his shoulder. Harold is stunned at this, especially when Leshawna claims “I do want you, Harold…”

Harold’s eyes widened at this, shocked to hear her words. That’s when Leshawna adds “But I don’t deserve you… I need to know myself before we can be in a serious relationship.”

“Okay…?” Harold wonders, and Leshawna asks, “So please, just take things slow with me, be patient. It might work out, it might not, but… I’m sick of this game right now, I want something true.”

Harold hesitates, unsure if she’d take the gesture, but seeing as she’s smiling, he takes a hand and caresses her back, keeping her close. He smiles himself, and replies “Yeah… me too.”

Duncan, Justin, and Noah reach Courtney, and she face palms in the presence of all three of them, asking “What? Is someone naked again?”

Duncan tells her they need her help to vote off Leshawna. Courtney asks to give them a good reason why she would listen to that, and Noah answers that she doesn’t have invincibility forever. Maybe LINDSEY of all people could take her out. Courtney smirks and claims that no one can take her down, let alone Lindsey. Justin then brings up that Leshawna is competition, and competition is something they should all get rid of. 

“Please Courtney,” Duncan toughly pleads, “For me?”

Courtney gazes into his eyes and she smiles, asking “So who do you have so far?”

We then cut back to Leshawna and Harold, who are laughing together and pointing at the stars. Harold is giving a whole biography of a certain constellation, and it only makes Leshawna smile.

The other boys head back to the trailer with Courtney with them, and briefly Duncan glances at Harold and Leshawna laughing happily and getting close. Without any words, he looks at Courtney, then back at them. He grits his teeth at the sight of Harold having a happier relationship, and he stomps back in the trailer.

Beth then comes up to them and scares the two briefly. She apologizes, asking if she was interrupting something. Leshawna claims that she’s fine, and from there, Beth explains to Harold that they have to vote off Duncan, and Harold agrees as such. This is, dialogue wise, the same exchange between the two, only they aren’t whispering here since Leshawna’s here as well.

Harold, still blushing, then returns to the trailer, only to be shocked to find they brought Courtney with them. “I assume it went well…?” Harold asks, and right away, Courtney claims “You KNOW you owe me.”

“You beat me with a lamppost, what more do you want?” Harold asks, standing his ground. Courtney then goes on to tell him that they NEED him to cooperate. Not just for her sake, but also for his place in the game as well. The girls could very much be planning to vote off HIM. 

“I want to make a deal with you, and don’t think I can guarantee this, I can’t,” Courtney offers, “You help me this one time. I’ll take you to the final four along with me and Duncan.” 

“Wait, what about us?” Justin asks, to which Noah scolds “No one cares.”

Harold grits his teeth and makes it clear he’s NOT voting off Leshawna. They can’t make him!

Courtney however, pins him to the wall and traps him in place, her voice becoming edgier as she asks if he can really trust her, after everything she’s done to him? She doesn’t love him. And Duncan then adds that REAL lovers have everything figured out off the bat, kissing Courtney’s hand as he does so. 

This gets under Harold’s skin, and Courtney, Duncan, Justin, and Noah trap him in place and leave him covered in their shadows, with Duncan making it clear “It’s up to you Captain Alberta. It’s either her, or YOU.”

And it cuts away before we can hear Harold’s answer.

We then cut to the elimination ceremony.

So now we reach the voting sessions, where the votes have been casted, and losers have been selected…

Courtney is safe.

The awards go to Justin…

Beth…

Harold…

Lindsey…

Noah…

And Duncan.

Which means that just like in canon, Leshawna is eliminated. 

And with all the work we’ve done in the past episodes, the scene where Harold apologizes and Leshawna embraces him hits harder, so there really is nothing to change here, and this canon moment makes it a bittersweet elimination. Bitter because Harold gave in to what the others claimed of him and Leshawna’s leaving, but sweet because Leshawna no longer cares about winning the game. If anything, she’s relieved of being pardoned and that she’s able to reconcile with Harold. 

Just like in canon, with Leshawna’s parting words being the reminder that Harold should stand up for himself from now on, and kick Duncan’s butt. Which is then followed by Duncan kicking him and Chris breaking his glasses.

(Eh, I’m sure it went somewhere in canon and I don’t have to do justice to it…)

Episode 18: Aftermath The Third

Episode 18 kicks off our third Aftermath show of the season. Geoff and Bridgette introduce themselves, and also go over the new guests lined up: Gwen, Tyler, Heather, and Leshawna. With the exception of the tweaks that Gwen isn’t in the loser line, and a noticeable part that will only be brought up at the very end, Owen is also not here. Other than that, these Geoff and Bridgette exchanges are surprisingly untouched. After their exchanges, they go on to review what Gwen has gone through in the saeson.

In their video, they talk about how Gwen was originally a fan favorite, and finalist of season one, as she won everyone’s hearts with her cold gothic exterior and her romance subplot with Trent… that is until season two happened, and the two went their separate ways from inconvenience, and Gwen was left to clean up after Trent thanks to Justin, and in doing so, she lost all of her friends, and all of her fans, who have been berating Geoff and Bridgette ever since the second Aftermath show. But despite the hate, Gwen has pushed through and fixed her ties with Leshawna, and grew closer with Duncan, it seemed like everything was going back on track for her! Until Courtney came along and put the hammer down on Gwen, booting her from the show in a rather rigged way.

They call up Gwen, but she doesn’t show up. They show a video of everyone in the waiting room, Gwen pacing around nervously as the other three watch. Gwen stammers that they’re gonna crash an anvil on her head out there, they’re gonna kill her! And then Trent’s out there as well…

“Oh my gosh, get over it!” Heather snaps, proclaiming “He hates you, they’ll kill you. So what?” The camera guy comes in to claim that Gwen is up, and nervously, she asks if they’re live. She waves at the camera and nervously greets everyone, but we hear booing from the audience.

Tyler then volunteers to go on with her so they can die together, and though Gwen is hesitant, Tyler insists.

Hearing this news, Geoff and Bridgette decide to also touch on Tyler, playing a video of his story.

In this video, they talk about how Tyler was, from day one, a daredevil on the field who was in over his head, and cheated death every other episode. This season, his own girlfriend Lindsey doesn’t even remember his own name, but that didn’t stop Tyler from supporting her through and through, at the cost of trust from his own team. Ah, the things we do for love.

With that, Tyler and Gwen both come onto the stage.

They both hesitate, with Tyler stammering “On second thought, maybe I get your pain-”

But Chef shoves them both on stage. Tyler crashes onto the floor face first, and Gwen catches herself on her feet. Gwen nervously greets everyone, but they boo at her, one guy even shouting at her to get off the stage. 

From there, Gwen basically has the same pressure planted on her from the canon episode 12, including the Katie and Sadie recording. Gwen, the whole time, tries to avoid talking about the breakup, but Geoff keeps pushing, asking about her friendships as well and how terrible her track record is now. Even her own fans despise her for their sunken ship.

“Wait, people are shippers?” Gwen asks, rolling her eyes to add “How invasive.”

“It’s called TV Gwen,” Geoff says.

Tyler then gets back up to try and change three subjects, asking if anyone wants to hear about HIS relationship problems with Lindsey. Gwen raises an eyebrow and comments “Since when have you two had issues?”

“We uh…” Tyler tries to figure that out, only to realize he doesn’t have an answer to that.

“Well, you guys want shipping, right?” Tyler asks, soon showing several video clips of his happy times with Lindsey, when they danced on the beach, their grins at each other in the prison episode, him helping her in the war challenge and them later making out, and basically all of their scenes in episode 14. 

Geoff stops this and says “That’s all sweet, I’m happy for you… but happiness doesn’t really give us ratings, does it?”

Bridgette asks “So? They’re happy! Do you seriously think ratings are more important than that?”

Geoff dodges the question, instead asking Tyler if he REALLY thinks Lindsey loves her. Tyler says yes, but then Geoff shows clips of all the times Lindsey has gotten his name wrong. 

“I dunno about you, but I’d be pretty sad if my girlfriend doesn’t even know me,” Geoff says, and Bridgette exclaims back “I am right here!”

With that, Geoff decides to proclaim that relationships are only good when there’s juicy drama, thus deciding to start Truth or Electrocution on Gwen.

Bridgette is shocked to hear this, and immediately shoots back that they SHOULDN’T do this! But Geoff assures her that it’s low voltage. Gwen claims she doesn’t want to do this, and Trent stands up for her as well to fight back that Gwen has suffered enough. 

Gwen is surprised to see him stand up for her, but Trent stands his ground. To this shock, Gwen apologizes all over to him about what happened, and the break up, she didn’t get to make things up to him, she screwed over everything and everyone, she doesn’t know who she is, she’s sorry Trent had to go through all of this because of her- Trent stops her and makes it clear that they’re cool. He’s not mad at her, he doesn’t blame her for anything. He knows she makes mistakes, but she’s still a great girl, and no matter what she chooses, whether it’s to be with him romantically or to just be friends, even if she goes for someone else, he’s okay with it. 

Gwen is relieved to hear this and they hug each other, asking if they’re still friends. Trent agrees that they’re JUST friends, and he’s happy with that.

This however gets a boo from the audience, and hearing this, Geoff interrupts them to put Gwen in the electric chair.

When we cut back, she’s strapped in, and she, again, basically says the same things she’s said in the canon episode 12, about how she still likes Trent, has a lot of love for people, Geoff tries to push the Duncan talk, Gwen compliments Leshawna and other people she considers friends, but again, all they want to hear is about Trent. 

After such, Geoff brings up that the amount of rage she caused to her fandom is unreal. Gwen rolls her eyes and remarks “Whatever. If anything, they’re probably thankful Courtney booted me.”

“No,” Geoff corrects, “It’s because you dumped Trent for Duncan.”

Gwen immediately shoots that down, claiming that she THOUGHT she told them multiple times. THEY. ARE. JUST. FRIENDS.

But then Geoff pulls up that video clip of Gwen and Duncan wrestling each other in the night, (that again, was originally in episode 12) The only tweak here being that Courtney isn’t on the stage. However, Gwen stands her ground that they are just friends, claiming Geoff is twisting this, and Bridgette makes her comment that fame is getting into his head.

Bridgette relieves Gwen, and Tyler tries to help her out, only to get caught under the cap himself and accidentally break a side of the chair. Thinking he’s safe, he claims he didn’t do it, but then the chair shocks him. Bridgette and Gwen make sure he’s okay, and Tyler gives them a thumbs up that he’s fine, though he’s clearly dazed.

“I think we should put this away, Geoff!” Bridgette calls out, but Geoff plays the act and instead asks what time it is?

That’s a transition to the pain segment clips, where they’re pretty much untouched, except fully cutting out the bits that weren’t in this rewrite, like Owen snapping off the wires in his jaw, Owen in the kitchen, Owen crashing down the vault door… basically everything Owen centric is cut here.

After that break, Bridgette argues back that Geoff isn’t hearing her! Geoff asks back what the big deal is, this is their job! They have to do this! Bridgette however scolds that NO, they don’t have to do this. And with that, she chooses to resign from her job, leaving Geoff stammering at her to come back. She leaves the stage entirely, and thus, the only thing left for him is to move on to Heather and Leshawna.

This video itself is pretty much untouched, except there is no mention of Leshawna and Heather becoming friends, because in context of this rewrite, that did not happen. 

With that, Heather and Leshawna come onto the stage, and they have the usual ‘hi how are you? Good to have you here!’ exchange. 

Then Geoff immediately prompts Heather onto the electric chair, and Heather is cool with it like she was in canon. 

And Heather’s time in the electric chair goes pretty much untouched. As well as the video, only instead of Bridgette calling the video, it’s Tyler, who tries to interrupt the whole electrocution process with something random. 

Leshawna doesn’t claim that she and Heather are friends, as she only high fives Gwen as they both claim it makes her look funny. With that, Leshawna is called to the stand.

We don’t get Geoff asking about Heather defending her. Yeah I know Heather kind of did in the context of this rewrite, but Leshawna wasn’t there when that happened. Instead Geoff goes to ask if she was mad at anyone for the spa incident.

Leshawna admits that the only thing she kind of has an edge towards regarding that, is Courtney posting it online. But even then, she has to admit that she deserved it, if she was her, she’d be mad too. But though she said nasty things, she does value the nicer things she said more often. We then go onto that video question, and this is pretty much untouched on this guy’s questions. Yes, even the part where Leshawna claims that she and Harold are just friends. Because even in the context of this rewrite, they didn’t ‘hook up’ , they just accepted each other’s boundaries and haven’t decided to become an official couple on their own terms. 

When Geoff claims in the clip that Leshawna looked at Harold the same way Bridgette looked at him, Bridgette is seen at the side by the curtains gazing at Geoff in surprise. Tyler notices this and gets up to talk to her.

Other than that, Leshawna’s response to that clip is completely untouched. With the exception of Bridgette being in the scene, the others stand up against Geoff and call him out for his behavior, their dialogue pretty much untouched. Only Gwen replaces Owen’s lines, and Geoff shows more visible restraint on his face when he says his lines.

Heather then brings up the suggestion on how they can pry such out of him, and points at Geoff to declare that HE should go in the electric chair!

Bridgette watches this in shock herself, as Gwen, Heather, and Leshawna join together to trap Geoff in the electric chair. 

Leshawna goes on to ask if this really is the true Geoff, or if this is just out of stress that this is what people want from him. (Basically Bridgette’s canon question) And Geoff lies that this IS the real him, and he gets shocked. Heather asks who is the hottest girl on the show to him, but before that question gets launched, Gwen looks over at Tyler, who gives her the thumbs up, and she then asks Geoff how he truly feels about Bridgette.

He lies that he could care less about her, and he gets shocked, and immediately Bridgette runs over to him in concern over his state and his words. As he stammers that he loves Bridgette with all his heart, and that he just wants to do the best for her, Bridgette reveals herself to have come back, and she frees him, hugging him tightly as he apologizes for his act. 

The two kiss and make out, and as they do so Leshawna brushes off her hands in relief, claiming they saved the Aftermath show, she calls that a win! The others agree, and with that, all the previous losers of the season gather around to call off the episode!

…With a brief comedic line at the end with someone asking “Hey, has anyone seen Owen?”

And that’s where we’re going to leave things for today. As you can probably tell, there’s no set schedule for these parts to come out, and I want to thank you all for the support given to this project. Also know that you guys are free to reply down below any friendly notes, criticisms, or just something you want to say. I will do my best to address anything you guys say, whether I admit that you’re right and that I goofed somewhere, or defend myself and some of my more… controversial writing choices. We have 7 campers left in the running for the million! Who are the finalists? Who wins? Tune in next time on TOTAL. DRAMA. REFILMING ACTION!!

And can my teeth possibly get any whiter?[ding] Find out here on Total. Drama. Island!

Iris pov

I was writing all possibilities on how to get back at Duncan. I also was writing all out comes trying to pick the best strategy. All good outcomes points to being nice to Harold. I was about to put my jurnal away, when the sound of a helicopter scared the shit out of me. 

Duncan[waking up,scarred]: Oh! Hit the deck! They’re coming, man! They found us!

Leshawna: Huh! Ooh! Ugh! Okay, that dude is really starting to get on my last nerve!

Heather [after she yawns]: Whatever. He just loves ruining our mornings. Beth, Lindsay, go warm up the shower for me. Now! And remember…

Beth: Not too hot this time, I know. [yawns]

The girls were waiting for Heather to be done in the bathroom. Gwen and I go in the woods to pee. "So you don't get any special treatment from Chris do you?" Gwen asked. "He has tried but I turn him down." I said handing her Toilet paper. "One would think you would considering how we are treated." She said handing it back. "Exactly why I don't want special treatment. It just wouldn't be fair." I said before walking back with her. 

Chris [through loudspeaker]: I hope you’re ready for the most challenging challenge yet. Breakfast in three minutes at the campfire pit. Gwen and I sit together chatting waiting for everyone.

Chris: Are you ready for today’s extreme max impact challenge?!

Owen: We are ready! [laughs]

Chris: Incoming! This… is breakfast.

Heather: No, breakfast is crepes, croissants, even Chef’s crappy burnt eggs.

Owen: Beans beans, they’re good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you–[ a can thunks at his head]

Chris: Today’s challenge is about survival. We’re going hunting.

Duncan: That’s more like it.

Harold: Isn’t that a paintball gun?

Chris: Why yes Harold. It is.

Harold grunts

Bridgette: So we won’t be killing anything?

Chris: Negatory. This is the first ever paintball deer hunt. I’ll announce the team’s once we get into the woods. So… finish breaky.

Owen [burps loudly] : Ahhh… Got any more?

Chris: And now for the team breakdowns. The Killer Bass hunters are… Harold, Geoff, and Bridgette. Locked and loaded with bass blue paint. And using orange paint are the Gopher hunters, Leshawna, Beth, Owen, Lindsay.

Owen: Whahoo! This is awesome, man!

Chris: You also get these stylin’ glasses and wicked camo caps! The rest of you are now deer. Here are your antlers, noses, and little whitetails.

Heather: Yeah right. I am not wearing that.

Duncan: There is no way I’m a deer.

Chris: Take these off and your team is toast.

Owen chuckles.

Duncan: What are you lookin’ at?

Owen: Oh, nothing. Bambi.[snaps Duncan's tail]

Duncan: You’d better be a good shot, tubby.

Courtney: At least we get a headstart.

DJ: I don’t know about y’all. But I’m outta here.

"Guys we should split up. If we hang in a group better chance of us losing." I said making everyone nod. While hiding in the bush I spot Heather being guarded by Beth and Lindsay. "Hey Beth Lindsay your hunters. Heather is a deer shoot her. I mean she is a mean two face bitch. Don't you want some payback Beth." And like that paitballs flew at Heather. It turned into a paint war with everyone. I hung low to the ground

Courtney: Why do you smell worse than usual?

Duncan: It’s Owen’s stink. It’s following me around like my juvenile record.

Courtney: Well, I’m heading back. This stupid game must be almost over by now.

Duncan: You’re going the wrong way.

Courtney: Excuse me? I was a CIT, remember? I have a natural sense of direction. Camp is this way.

Duncan: No. It’s that way.[ their antlers smack into each other]

Courtney and Duncan grunt.

Courtney: Very funny. Now let me go!

Duncan: Hey princess, this isn’t my idea of fun either.

Courtney: Great, Duncan.

(Confessional: Duncan)

Duncan: Sure, we could’ve taken those lame-o antler hats off, but Miss Counselor-in-Training would probably go blab to Chris and have us disqualified. And hey, I kinda liked it.

(Confessional off)

Courtney: Now what?!

Duncan: You wanna make out?

Beth, Heather, and Leshawna: [indistingueble] Ow! Ow!

Bridgette: This is really fun!

Chris [through loudspeaker] :Attention human wildlife and hunters! Please report back to camp! It’s time to show your hides and tally up the scores!

Cut to the campers standing in line.

Chris: Tsk tsk tsk. Stealing from Chef. Eating chips in the woods. Being mauled by bears. Do you know what I see here? I see a very undisciplined group. I see a disgraceful mess. I see a massive waste of paint product. And I have to say… that was awesome! Haha! When you guys opened fire on your own team? Wicked TV, guys.

Harold: Hey. Where are Duncan and Courtney?

Courtney and Duncan grunt as they come in,still tangled.

I had to keep my composure seeing them like that. I am definitely going to make them pay

Gwen: Oh, this is too much.

Owen [ in between laughs]: Duncan, you sly dog, you!

Duncan: The girl can’t keep her antlers off me. [grunts] [falsetto] Can’t even bend over.

Chris: Easy, Courtney. Our medical tent is really only equipped for one at a time and Cody’s pretty messed up. Well, since three members of the Gophers are dripping in paint… Make that four members. And some of them aren’t even deer. I think we have our winner![Bridgette, DJ, Harold, and Sadie cheer] You’re off to a hunting camp shindig!

Duncan and Geoff: Whoo!

Duncan groans

Chris: Gophers, I’ll see you at the campfire ceremony. Again.

Heather: I mean, seriously. Twice in a row? What is wrong with you people? I can’t wait to see Beth get kicked off. I just wish I could vote off two campers at once.

(Confessionals: Cody, Owen, Leshawna and Lindsay)

Cody: Heheheh. Okay. I know I got mauled by a bear, but I’m feeling good about this. I’m a quick healer. And besides, Heather’s as mean as a snake, dude. Her own team shot her like eighteen times. They’ll never kick me off.

Leshawna: Who did I vote for? Well, Heather’s been a pain in my butt from day one. But I gotta say… Cody.

Owen: Yeah, that Cody. Not so useful in challenges anymore.

Lindsay: I totally admire Belle for standing up to Heather, but she’s so dead now.

(confessionals off)

at the elimination cerimony.

Chris: There are only eight marshmallows on this plate. When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper–

Gwen [quickly]: Who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately return The Dock of Shame, catch the Boat of Losers and leave. Can’t we just get this over with?

Chris: Fine. Whatever. Spoil the moment. Trent. Iris. Lindsay. Owen. Gwen. Leshawna. Beth. Campers, this is the final marshmallow tonight. Heather.

Heather: You are all lucky, okay? Very lucky!

Chris: Cody. The Dock of Shame awaits, bro. I guess we can help you get there.

Beth: I’ll do it![Pushes Cody to the dock of shame]

Gwen: Bye, Cody!

Leshawna: Seeya, buddy!

Owen: Take care, dude.

Cody tries to speak but i's muffled.

Beth: I know. I can’t believe I stood up to her, either.[Cody tries to speak but its muffled] I’m gonna be okay, don’t worry about me. And I still have my good luck charm! See? I got it from Boney Island last week. Cool, huh? Bye Cody. Take care. [kisses Cody's head]

Cody muffled screams before falling into the water with a splash

[blossomfestival]

If you can change anything about total drama what would you do? I think that Bridgette should have smoke a fat one during world tour so not to get charmed by alehandwalker

Probably make Leshawna be in the final three in tdi or make Eva, Trent and Justin participate in wt.
