User blog:SpiritAnimal/Spirit's Total Drama Island - Episode 4: Dodgebrawl

Chris: Previously on Total Drama Island, Amy didn't allow Jasmine's threats to stop her from bossing Samey around. Scott caught onto Mike and learned about his crush on Zoey, which allowed him to blackmail Mike into voting the way he wanted anytime the team lost. Topher painted his eyes open in hopes to catch some z's while winning the challenge, which was an awake-a-thon, but he was caught. When the Gophers lost once again, he was sent packing. Who will be the next one to go? Find out now on Total Drama Island!

The campers are already awake, eating their breakfast in the mess hall with each other.

The camera pans to the Screaming Gophers' table, where Sky is the last teammate to receive her food and sit down.

Samey: Hi, Sky.

Sky: Hey, Samey. Good morning.

Jasmine: Guys, do you hear that? It's the sound of Topher not being here narrating everything.

The three laugh, while Amy angrily glares at them from the other end of the table.

Amy: I can't believe she gets to enjoy her time here when she could be doing my laundry. She doesn't deserve it.

Ella walks behind them.

Ella: Excuse me, girls. I've finished my breakfast and now I'll go join Dawn to sing with the animals in the forest.

She walks away.

Sugar: Well at least she doesn't sing all the time like that princess girl Ella. She's up to no good, narratin' and all.

Amy turns away and mumbles.

Amy: I sincerely doubt it.

Sugar: Hey, I'm glad the two of us can talk. We're like, twins!

Amy gasps.

(Conf) Amy: TWINS?! Ugh, I'm always the pretty twin, and the pretty twin always does more work. I guess being a natural beauty has its flaws.

Amy: Uh, yeah...totally...

Dave and Shawn are sitting next to each other.

Dave: So, this whole zombie thing...when is gonna happen?

Shawn: You never know. That's why its so handy be prepared.

Dave: So if you win, I assume you'll build a zombie bunker or something?

Shawn: Precisely.

The camera then shows the Killer Bass. Jo and Lightning are sitting next to each other. Brick sits down across from them.

Jo: I can't believe we're 2 campers ahead of the other team...who am I kidding? Of course I can believe it.

Lightning: Sha-right?! Man, this is gonna be easy!

Brick: With my leadership skills, we're bound for success.

Jo: Leadership? You couldn't lead a sheep to water.

Brick: I've been trained, Jo. By professional military officials. I think I know what I'm doing.

Jo: Please. I'm a much better leader.

Brick: Yeah? Doubt it.

Jo: Fine. Be cocky all you want. I'll find a way to lead this team to victory.

Lightning: Wait...why would he lead a sheep to water?

Jo rolls her eyes as Mike, Zoey, and Cameron are shown. They're smiling at each other, not even paying attention to anything else.

Cameron: Earth to Zoey, Earth to Mike. Come in.

They turn to Cameron.

Zoey: Sorry, Cam. Still tired from the last challenge.

Cameron: Yeah. Plus Sam's snoring really affected my sleeping schedule.

Sam overhears and looks over.

Sam: Sorry, man. Just happens sometimes, haha.

Dakota: Well it affected ME the worst.

Everyone looks over at Dakota. Her eyes are red and bloodshot.

Sam: Geez. I'm sorry Dakota.

Dakota sighs.

Dakota: I guess it's fine. Looking a little beat up will help the tabloids come up with stories about me being a survivor of the wild.

Anne Maria: Yo, that sounds pretty dope.

Dakota: Right?

(Conf) Anne Maria: That Dakota chick is pretty odd, but she's cool. We got the same values. Beauty.

Chris walks in.

Chris: Good morning, campers. Your next challenge starts in 10 minutes! Be prepare to bring it like you've never brought it before!

The next scene shows a giant glass dodgeball court.

Chris: Welcome to your next challenge! Dodgeball!

Jo: Ha! I'm great at dodgeball!

She points at the Screaming Gophers.

Jo: You're going down!

Brick looks annoyed.

Brick: Well I'm better at dodgeball than you, so if they go down it's because of me!

The Gophers look at them with confusion.

Dawn barges in between them.

Dawn: Teamwork. We must not present tension.

(Conf) Jo: Brick is so desperate to have what I have: skill. And when he's voted off, he'll be begging for my forgiveness.

Dakota: I'm not gonna get hurt or anything, right?!

Chris: Unless you're hit by the ball in the face or something...I mean, it is dodgeball.

Zoey: Don't worry, Dakota. I'm sure you'll be great at it!

The camera switches to the Gophers' side of the court.

Sky: Luckily, we have some really athletic people. Me, Jasmine, and Shawn. So I think the three of us should definitely be on the court.

Chris: You guys will each need to choose 5 people. The team with the people left standing each round wins. We'll play 3 rounds...and to make things more interesting, everyone has to play at least once.

Shawn: If we swap out 2 people each time, the three of us can stay in.

Sugar: Now wait a dang minute! Y'all ain't the leaders of this here team. I might wanna play more than once!

Sky: Sugar, we're doing it to ensure a win.

Amy: Well obviously we don't know what the term win means.

Samey: I like Sky's idea.

Amy: Of course you do.

Sky: Thank you, Samey.

Dave: I also agree with them, Sugar. We have to stop losing and this is our best chance.

Sugar: FINE!

Ella: Oh, Sugar. Don't be sad. We can have fun together on the bleachers.

Sugar: AIN'T NO WAY!

Ella: Oh my! I'm sorry Sugar. I didn't mean to cross boundaries.

Sugar: Just stay away from me...you devil worshippin' monster.

The camera pans back over to the Bass.

Jo: I say that we split the team into two strong groups and then the final round we take the one person who hasn't played and the rest of the strongest on the team and put them on the court.

Scott: Sure, sounds like a great idea actually.

Brick: ...Yeah, I guess I agree.

(Conf) Brick: Jo does not win. I just can't screw things up and get sent home early for a little tiff with some gym girl.

Chris: Round 1! We have Jasmine, Sky, Shawn, Amy, and Samey for the Gophers! And for the Bass, we've got Jo, Zoey, Anne Maria, Mike, and Scott! Get in your positions!

Everyone gets in their spots.

Chef blows his whistle, starting the first match.

Sky grins at Jasmine and throws the ball at Mike, who almost dodges it but is slightly hit.

Chris: Mike is out for the Bass!

Jo runs and whips the ball at Sky, who is shocked to see it coming so fast. She's hit in the head and slams into the ground.

Jasmine: Sky, are you okay?!

Dave stands in the bleachers to get a better view, obviously fearful.

Sky rubs her head.

Sky: Yeah, I'm good.

She gets up and walks off the court.

Jasmine turns around and sees Amy walking to Samey.

Jasmine: Amy, what are you doing?

Amy: Getting a new ball. The one I threw didn't go very far.

Jasmine turns around and sees a ball barely past the line dividing the teams.

Jasmine: Seriously?!

Before she can speak, Jasmine is hit with a ball.

Shawn: Crap!

Jasmine: UGH. Amy, you are gonna pay for that.

Amy: It wasn't my fault.

Samey throws the ball at Scott while nobody is listening, but he catches it.

Amy turns and looks.

Amy: Nice job, lose-amey.

Samey, disappointed, walks to the bleachers with Jasmine.

Shawn: We gotta pull it together, Amy.

Amy: I'm trying my hardest here.

Shawn throws the ball hard at Anne Maria, who doesn't catch it.

Jo rolls her eyes.

Anne Maria: Yo, that HURT. Jerk.

Shawn: It's the game…

Anne Maria: Whateva'.

Zoey grips her ball and finally throws it at Amy, hitting her straight in the chest.

Amy hits the ground and coughs.

Amy: WHAT? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?

Zoey: Sorry, I just meant to get you eliminated.

Amy: Well congratulations, Red. You did.

She walks off the court.

Shawn gulps as he's bombarded with balls. He tries to dodge them with his zombie training skills, but fails and is hit.

Chris: And the Killer Bass win round 1!

Shawn: That's it! We have to stop fighting. We need teamwork on this team. When I watch the Walking Dead, the ones who fight end up being eaten the fastest, and that's US.

Jasmine sighs.

Jasmine: You're right. I let my emotions get the best of me.

Amy: Listen. I don't want to lose. So I'll shut my trap if it helps us out.

Jasmine: Perfect.

She smirks at Amy and walks back to the court with Sky and Shawn. Dave and Ella join this time.

Dave: This is pretty exciting, getting to be on the court with you Sky.

Sky: Yeah, I agree.

The camera pans to the Killer Bass, who have also chosen their players.

Chris: For the Gophers we have Jasmine, Sky, Shawn, Ella, and Dave. For the Bass, we have Brick, Lightning, Cameron, Dakota, and Dawn.

Chef blows his whistle and the game begins.

Dakota: So, do I like...throw this?

Brick: Seriously? You've never played dodgeball?

Dakota: No, I just usually sat out in gym class.

Dakota is then slapped with a dodgeball in the face.

Dakota: Ow! My beautiful magazine cover worthy face! Noooooo!

Jasmine: Sorry, but that's how you do it!

Jasmine high fives Sky.

Dawn: I'm not sure I can throw my ball at my enemy because my enemy is my friend.

Ella: Same. It just feels too...mean.

Brick: Dawn, I'm sure Ella would understand.

Ella: I wouldn't.

Brick: Well...I'll take her out then.

Brick whips the ball at Ella, getting her out.

Dawn: Hey! That was uncalled for.

Brick: ...It's the rules of the game.

Jasmine then throws the ball at Dawn, hitting her.

Dawn: Ow! What are those balls made of?

Dawn and Ella walk off the court.

Lightning runs with the ball from behind Brick and whips it at Sky, who catches the ball.

Lightning: SHA-WHAT?! I just got beat by a girl?

Sky: Sure did, Thunder or whatever your name is.

Lightning: If I'm Thunder, then you're...you're Ground.

Sky raises her eyebrow. Lightning walks away after realizing how dumb he sounded.

Brick picks up another ball and throws it at Dave, hitting him.

Brick: Yes!

Dave: Another day, another challenge I lose for my team.

Sky: Don't worry about it, Dave. You didn't lose for us.

Dave, with his shoulders slumped, walks off the court.

Sky picks up the ball off the court and throws it at Brick, hitting him.

Sky: That's for Dave!

Brick, obviously disappointed, gets up and walks to the bleachers.

Jo: Nice strategy, Brick…

She says it in a sarcastic tone.

Left in the corner is Cameron, rolled up in the fetal position.

Sky lightly throws the ball and hits him.

Chris: And the Gophers win round 2!

The Screaming Gophers celebrate, jumping up and down.

Dakota: They are so desperate for a win...how pathetic.

She says this filing her nails, then winks at the camera.

Jo: No need for panic, but we NEED to win this next round. Sam, you still haven't gone yet so you're on next. I think Lightning, Scott, Brick, and I would be good on the court.

Anne Maria: As long as I ain't hit by no ball, I'm good with that.

The camera pans to the Gophers.

Sugar: Is it my turn to go yet?

Sky takes a long sigh before answering.

Sky: Yes.

Sugar: AWESOME!

Jasmine: We're gonna be screwed this round. I can feel it.

B walks over and pulls out a long sheet of paper. He shows it to Jasmine.

Jasmine: What is this...wait, it's a full planned out round that would help us win? How did you do that?

B shrugs.

Shawn: This is pretty cool. I say we follow it.

Jasmine: I agree.

The teams line up, each prepared for the final round. Jo cracks her neck.

Chris: Ready...Set…

Chef blows the whistle.

B snaps and the Gophers all synchronously lift their balls up and throw them. Some miss, but Scott, Brick, and Lightning are all hit.

Jo: Oh, come on!

Chris: Dang, it's a triple threat.

Brick, who is angered, calls a timeout.

Chris: Fine! Timeout!

Sky: Not fair!

Chris: You're both in timeout. I'll allow it.

Brick: We can't lose. We CAN'T.

Jo: Does anyone have any ideas that can prolong our stay on the court?

Sam looks at her, then finally speaks up.

Sam: Well...I have played dodgeball before.

Jo: What?! Why didn't you tell us?!

Sam: You guys wouldn't let me.

Jo: Can you take them out?

Sam: I think so.

Jo: Great. Let's do it! Chris, the timeout is over.

Everyone leaves the court other than the players and Chef blows his whistle.

Jo tosses her ball to Sam, who breathes heavily and stares at the Gophers.

Sky: What's he doing?

Sam runs and throws two balls at Sky and Jasmine.

They both catch the ball, causing Sam to be out.

Jo: You didn't tell us you FAILED the dodgeball unit, idiot!

Sam: What? No, I played Dodgeball: The Game on my GameGuy.

Jo: Are you serious?! You're a complete imbecile.

While Jo is dissing Sam, she is hit with a ball by Sugar.

Sugar: Yes! I got her! I got her!

Lightning: Who?! I don't see a girl hit with a ball!

Chris: And the Screaming Gophers finally win a challenge!

Sky and Dave hug, before realizing what they're doing and stopping.

The scene shows the cabins. The sun is setting, and the Bass are preparing for the elimination ceremony.

Mike is sitting on the steps watching the sunset. Scott walks out of the cabin and sits down.

Scott: So it sounds like the vote is between Sam and Jo. I wouldn't mind voting Jo out tonight. So that's what we'll do.

Mike: Seriously? Sam is nice but he costed us the challenge.

Scott: Hey, you vote MY way.

Mike: Fine.

Scott: Great.

Scott walks away.

The campfire ceremony is once again lit up. The Bass are sitting.

Chris: Welcome to your first campfire ceremony. You've all voted, and once you receive a marshmallow, you're safe. If you don't get one, you're out of the game.

Everyone continues staring.

Chris: The people safe tonight are...Scott, Zoey, Mike, and Cameron.

The four of them catch their marshmallows.

Chris: Dakota, Anne Maria, Brick, and Lightning.

The next 4 also get their marshmallows.

Chris: Dawn, you're good as well.

Dawn catches her marshmallow.

Chris: Jo, Sam...both of you annoyed your team today. Jo, your competitiveness completely annoyed everyone on your team. You were rude and bossy. Sam, you tricked your team into thinking you played REAL dodgeball.

Sam: It wasn't a trick...I thought they knew I was talking about a video game.

Chris: Save it. In a vote of 7-4…

Jo begins to look worried.

Chris: The person safe is…

Sam gulps.

Chris: Jo.

Jo sighs with relief and catches her marshmallow. Scott looks somewhat annoyed.

Chris: Sam, you're out of here.

Sam: Aw, man. This was supposed to be a fun summer. Well, bye guys. It was fun while it lasted.

Zoey: See ya, Sam.

Sam walks onto the Boat of Losers and departs from the island.

Chris: Well, that was interesting. Can the Gophers hold their remaining members for a few more episodes? Can the Bass pull it together before they're sent on a losing streak? Find out next time on...Total Drama Island!

Before the gender police attack me for getting rid of 3 males in a row, let me just say that 1. The males I've eliminated are poor characters and don't fit the narrative for this season at all. And 2. The genders even out again, and even alternate several times between which gender has more people remaining.

Anyways, I like Sam but the problem is I didn't wanna do the Samkota plot. On top of that, Sam didn't fit as an underdog nerd as we already have a few other characters that will play that role this season. He just doesn't fit anywhere and is a great fodder that can return and do well another time. Hope you enjoyed!
