User blog:KarpToEndAllKarps/Total Drama: Misfit Mayhem Episode 4

“Last time on Total Drama: Misfit Mayhem. It was a late-night run for our competitors as they raced to the finish. Lil tricked Bianca into sabotaging Kyle, which she apparently did very well, as he went home that night. Meanwhile, Brutus worked to ignite some drama. I wonder how that will go? If you’re wondering as well, then you should probably watch Total! Drama! Misfit Mayhem!”

The sun rose on the camp as Joanne and Alice talked about the best fertilization methods. Chris air-horned the camp awake over the intercoms. “Bring your copyrighted music to the mess hall; it’s time for a quiz show!” As the teams walked over to the cafeteria, Lil drifted over to Jason. “Hey, are you alright?” Jason flinched. “Y-yeah, I’m fine.” Lil faked a look of concern. “Well, if anything is wrong, you can just talk to me.” Jason smiled. “Okay, thanks.”

Conf: Lil laughed. “This is just too easy!”

The teams made it to the mess hall, and Chris explained the challenge. “Today, you’ll be picking three teammates to answer a series of questions about their fellow contestants. You have five minutes to choose who represents your team.”

Lil reassured that Jason could do it, and so he went in for the Soaring Eagles, along with Tistan and Mary. Dennis told Luna to do it, which she politely declined. The Arrows decided on Dennis, Brutus, and Alexis. Chris cleared his throat. “And we are off!”

The six contestants were at seats with buzzers and a small scoreboard.

“Question one:” Jason looked at Lil, who gave an encouraging smile. “Who is afraid of public speaking?” Dennis hit his buzzer. “Luna!” Chris paused. “Correct!” The Arrows gained a point.

“Question two: whose  favorite animal is a snake?” Alexis hit the buzzer. “Bianca!” She glared at Bianca, who glared back. Chris laughed. “Wrong.” Brutus hit his buzzer. “Lil!” The Streaking Arrows gained another point. “Question 3: What previous contestant filed a lawsuit against me?” Tistan hit his buzzer. “Is it John?” Chris nodded, and the Eagles gained a point.

Chris looked at his watch.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">“We’re almost out of time, so it’s time for the lightning round!” Thomas sighed from the peanut gallery. “Sha-kill me.” Chris, not appreciating the comment, ignored him. “You’ll each choose a member of your team. It can’t be one of the three already participating. You have five minutes. Discuss!” After much thought, the Eagles chose Bianca. Jason encouraged Lil to go, which she did. Chris stepped up and explained the rules. “I will say something that applies to more than one contestant, and you guys will try to guess which ones.” Chris pulled out a cue card. “Question one: four contestants are afraid of spiders. Who are they?” Lil hit her buzzer. “Luna?” Chris shook his head. Lil began to panic.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Conf: Luna gave a small chuckle. “I love spiders.”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Bianca hit her buzzer. “Matthew, Dennis, and Alice.” “Dennis and Matthew are correct! Two points to the Eagles. Question two: Six people have a sibling. Who are they?” Lil slammed her hand on the buzzer. “Brutus!” It was wrong, and Lil descended into tears. Bianca hit her buzzer. “Mary, Matthew, and Tistan.” Those were all correct, and the Arrows lost the challenge.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Her teammates initially blamed Lil, who was crying. Through her tears, she explained that she wouldn’t have gone up if not for Jason. Fingers were pointed, and sides were taken.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Conf: Lil smiled. “I knew those acting classes would pay off.”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">In between the argument and the campfire ceremony, Lil noticed Brutus acting odd. She approached Mary about it. Mary smiled. “Hey, have I told you to follow me on Inst-” “Why is Brutus being so weird?” Lil interrupted. Mary looked at him. “A textbook example of jealousy. Have you been talking to any other boys lately?” Lil flinched. “OK, that makes sense. Thanks, Mary!” Mary nodded.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Conf: Lil giggled. “He really likes me. I may even take him to the finale before I crush him.”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Chris handed a marshmallow out to Alice, Mary, Thomas, and Joanne, as they all had no votes, as well as Tistan with one vote.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Chris smiled, a single marshmallow in front of him. “And receiving the final marshmallow, is…”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Lil seemed stressed. Jason was trembling.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">“Lil, with two votes. Jason, you wanna know what the inside of a cannon looks like?” Jason shook his head.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">As the sun was rising, Jason was squirming in the Cannon of Shame. “Any last words?” Jason remained silent. Chris sighed. “It’s less fun when I can’t interrupt anyone.” He fired the cannon, and Jason began his forceful journey home.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.4;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">“So, who’s going home next? Which villain will out-evil the others? How hard has Brutus fallen for Lil’s trap? Find out next time on Total! Drama! Misfit Mayhem!”
