User:Stryzzar/Alejandro and Mike

This article focuses on the interactions between Alejandro and Mike.

Overview
Alejandro and Mike/Mal did not interact early in the season, due to being on different teams. However the two develop a major conflict after Alejandro becomes aware of Mal's true nature. Their conflict escalates in The Obsta-Kill Kourse, where both of them race to turn the other contestants against one another. In the end Mal emerges victorious and succeeds in eliminating Alejandro, but not before he leaves behind a DVD containing footage of all of Mal's crimes which Zoey would later find.

Mal (posing as Mike) approaches Alejandro for the first time, just after the latter won immunity, and offers to form an alliance with him. Alejandro is surprised by this, but accepts as he liked unexpected events.

Zeek And Ye Shall Find
while navigating through the Spa Hotel, Alejandro stumbles upon Chris's surveillance room. He spots a disk titled "Mal's Greatest Hits" and plays it. He watches all of the surveillance footage of Mal committing evil deeds such as breaking his teammates' possessions, sabotaging challenges, and attempting rig the votes against Cameron. He also sees Mal's planting evidence under Alejandro's bed in an attempt to frame him. However Alejandro gets one step ahead of Mal and rushes to remove the evidence and instead plants it under Mike's bed. He then returns to the monitor room, and watches as Cameron finds the evidence and the blame gets pinned on Mal. Alejandro mockingly says to Mal "Anything you can do I can do better, and look better doing," before taking the disc as an "insurance policy". Meanwhile Mal is furious over the incident, and vows that Alejandro would pay for "sabotaging [his] sabotage". Afterwards Mal manages to restore Cameron's trust in him, and manipulates him into believing Alejandro and the other contestants were out to get him. This would become significant later on, when Alejandro comes across Cameron hanging from a hole, the latter turns down the help he offers. Once Alejandro is brought to others, Mal accuses Alejandro of intentionally "leaving him hanging" in reference to Cameron. However Alejandro takes note that he never mentioned anything about "hanging", and comes to the realization Cameron's predicament was Mal's doing.

The Obsta-Kill Kourse
the conflict between the two reaches a peak, where Alejandro's revelation of his knowledge about Mal causes the two villains to clash in an attempt to eliminate one another.

Near the start of the episode, Mal approaches Alejandro and cautions him to watch his back, while mockingly calling him "Al". However Alejandro informs him that he is aware of Mal's identity. While Mal is at first unphased, confident that no one would believe "the most manipulative player in Total Drama history", however he immediately becomes attentive when Alejandro reveals the existence of the DVD. Alejandro grabs Mal by then grabs Mal by the shirt in an attempt to intimidate him, however to his surprise Mal grabs his wrist and crushes it using his immense strength, before twisting it and forcing him to kneel. Out of desperation Alejandro promises not to reveal Mal's secret. He is saved when Zoey approaches and asks what was going on. Mal quickly releases Alejandro and states he was helping him up, when the latter had fallen. Alejandro then appears in the confessional clutching his swollen wrist, and bitterly swears vengeance against Mal for ruining his symmetry.
