Previous Episode: Saving Private Brick

Next Episode: TBA

So far...
 * Alejandro and OC's rivalry continues and burns stronger than ever with OC's recent, and very humiliating, defeat at the hands of Alejandro in the previous challenge. It seems Alejandro seems to be OC's greatest match, as both times they have faced each other, OC has come up short. Other than that, Alejandro has been aligning himself with several different contestants – Duncan, Sierra, and even Jo. It may for strategic purposes, or to make Heather jealous.
 * Brick continues to do his best at challenges, still believing himself to be inept. Brick berates himself a ton after his failure in the previous challenge, believing himself to be a worthless member of the team, despite others telling him otherwise. It gets so bad that Brick ends up voting for himself in the last voting.
 * Charlotte stepped up as team leader – being the third contestant to do so after you and Harold. However, she has by far been the most successful leader. Despite this, the team still lost under her management.
 * Cody has regained a bit of his confidence back, but still seems to steer clear of OC – probably beneficial for him, but unbeknownst to Cody, he is indirectly causing some of the others (specifically the new cast) to grow a rather poor opinion of OC.
 * Courtney has lost hope at becoming team leader due to Duncan's growing influence on the team, which has prompted other contestants to try and win him over. Unfortunately for Courtney, she and Duncan were paired up in the previous challenge. Courtney's overall frustration with Duncan causes her to lose focus in challenges – something she needs to learn to grow up and conquer.
 * Dawn has found her new role on the team as everyone's "mental health" manager. The issue is that she's the only one doing it, making things rather tough for her. She seems to be especially fixated on Cody, and the two seem to have become good friends.
 * Duncan's uncaring and bad boy attitude is on full display to not just his team, but the entire cast as Duncan gets thrust into the spotlight of the Villainous Vultures. His incredible challenge game makes him a popular target for potential alliances. His loyalty seems to be leaning toward Sierra (and by extension, Alejandro), however anything can happen at this point. Duncan also seems to have trouble dealing with Courtney, since he still misses her, but is too insecure to say anything.
 * Eva continues to be the emotionless, stoic, hardcore member of her team that, after the previous challenge, everyone is afraid of. At first, she had somewhat of a role struggle for "strongest female" with Jo, but after Jo's screw-up in the last challenge, Eva has solidified herself as one of the biggest threats in the game. People are afraid to vote for her, not that they have any reason to.
 * Gwen took the role of a co-leader along with Charlotte, but in a sort of unofficial position. She is beginning to get fed up with her boyfriend's strange decisions as of late, and is more than willing to speak to him and make him get his act together. Aside from that, Gwen has befriended a fellow loner, and seems to be generally popular among the cast despite her closed-off attitude.
 * Harold has joined the club of "former leaders", along with OC and Charlotte. Harold was paired up with OC in the last challenge, where he revealed that he wasn't the one spilling team secrets to Heather. This surprised OC, and now he has no clue who's doing that.
 * Heather continues to manipulate OC through informing him that she knows everything that's going on. Despite this, she and OC seem to be in some sort of weird friendship (which neither party will ever admit). Heather has been trying to gain Duncan's loyalty, and is the only Villain who's forced to go at it alone, with no other help (since both Jo and Sierra have Alejandro's loyalty, and Sierra has her excessive information about everyone that she uses to her advantage). Still, Heather has the upper hand in ways that even you can't figure out; that said, this is Heather, and she's never been a predictable one.
 * Recently, Jo and Eva have been in a power struggle for the role of "Strongest Female". Of course, no one officially announced it, but it was an unspoken ritual that the team was undergoing. In order to solidify her position, Jo tried to take the team's cannon during the challenge, but ended up shooting a member of her team. This angered her competitors, and puts Jo under risk of elimination unless she can successfully gain Duncan's loyalty.
 * Justin has realized that the only thing he has left going for him is his beauty; without it, he's nothing, especially with contestants that are blatantly better than him at almost everything. Worrying about his looks so much has led to him being distracted from challenges, too.
 * Lightning continues to make his team angrier and angrier with his incessant stupidity.
 * Lindsay's poor hiding skills took a toll on her in the previous challenge. However, she was not under risk of elimination at all due to her soaring popularity among her team. Now, Lindsay is trying to figure out why Tyler would worry about her in the middle of the challenge, even though he broke up with her. She's tempted to ask her best friend, but doesn't want to get him unnecessarily involved in drama.
 * Mike has become subject to continuing torture from his team, who treat him like human trash. Mike even gets unintentionally hurt by his team, like when Jo shot a cannon of artificial leeches at him. His team, mostly Jo, Duncan, and Heather, constantly rag on him and don't let him live in peace.
 * OC made by far the stupidest choice during the challenge, taking both him and Harold to Chef Hatchet's kitchen, which ended up being a terrible decision. Chef caught them, and after a fight, OC gets shot by Alejandro and loses the challenge. This marks OC's second loss against Alejandro, and Alejandro knows that he's defeating OC regularly. For the third time in a row, OC avoided elimination, this time due to his quick thinking of forming an alliance with Sadie.
 * Sadie has found out that she's become more important to the strategic aspect of the game. She's one of the major swing votes and now she's realized it. Will she side with OC, or another side that's actually successful?
 * Scott seems to have a habit of antagonizing his fellow contestants. This will almost definitely become an issue later for him later.
 * Sierra has showed off her true strategy. She knows so much about the contestants, that she can actually use this to her advantage to make alliances. She displays her powers with Duncan, when she gets him the cannon for the paintball challenge (although Jo later steals it). Sierra also performs well in the challenge, and seems to be developing some sort of friendship with Alejandro.
 * Tyler and OC's alliance came into play in the last episode – in other words, quicker than OC had hoped. Despite this, it was successful due to Tyler's fierce loyalty towards OC. However, Tyler shows that he's loyal to more than one teammate. Tyler makes a questionable decision of caring for Lindsay after she's shot in the paintball challenge, causing his downfall in the challenge as well. The strange thing about this is that Tyler is the one that broke up with Lindsay, not the other way around. Does Tyler still harbor feelings toward Lindsay? If so, why did he ever break up with her?
 * Zoey seems to be fading into the background lately, probably on purpose. She tried to hide herself while collecting her marshmallow, as if not wanting to be noticed. She mostly sticks to her friends, especially her new friend Gwen, who she relates to on a high level, and her best friend Charlotte. Zoey is constantly worried about Mike, and is concerned about him since she can't do anything. Something hints that she may do something drastic to be with him.

It's breakfast, and boy are you hungry! That challenge took a serious toll on you.

You start devouring your food.

"Whoa, you okay dude?", Tyler asks.

"Sorry. Yesterday's challenge just made me really hungry.", you say.

"You were barely in it.", Heather says. You glare at Heather.

"You're right, I'll slow down. Maybe you should too. Don't wanna ruin that summer body of yours, Heather.", you say. Heather scoffs, and looks at her nearly empty plate of luxurious "winner food".

"I do not each too much.", you say.

"You've got a piece of bread in your bra.", Courtney says. You laugh.

"Don't LAUGH at me!", Heather says.

"OC, can't you just leave her alone?", Charlotte asks.

"Hey! Stay out of this!", Heather says to Charlotte.

"Yeah, sorry but this isn't really any of your business.", you say.

"Alright. Keep saying that when your constant arguing gets you eliminated.", Charlotte replies.

"That savagery though...", Zoey says. Lindsay and Tyler both stand up at the same time.

"Don't talk to OC that way!", they say in unison. The two look surprised; and briefly glance at each other.

What do you say?

A: Let them continue and join them in defending yourself.

B: Tell Lindsay and Tyler that they don't have to fight your battles.
