'''The three teams must choose three contestants to represent them in yet another talent contest. Someone finds out he's even more ignored than he thought. During the contest, an antagonist convinces the other antagonist to have her revenge sworn years ago by sabotaging a performance of two contestants. Certain contestant helps the sabotaged competitiors, but it gets him disqualified from the contest. One boy helps his crush, but it also his repeated performance gets them disqualified as well. Thus, it means the loss for a certain team. Thanks to their allB|iance, the disqualified teammates don't end up being voted out, and it's a highly unpopular teammate who goes home instead.'''

Plot
Harold reveals in the confessional he quickly ran to his room after the last challenge to hide under his bed the Chef Idol he had found during the last challenge, hoping Duncan won't find it. He also adds he is aware it could look suspicious for Duncan when he saw him running so fast to the hotel while they were on the beach, but he says he had a prepared excuse of having a diarrhea.

While in the restaurant of the hotel where the contestants get their food (the tables are much smaller this time, so only like four contestants max sit together), Dawn notices Ella is sad and, by reading her aura, she realizes her friend really wants to find a love on the show. Ella confirms it's true right before Duncan throws some food in her direction, wanting to actually throw it at Harold who dodged it in time. Luckily for Ella, DJ uses himself as a human shield and the food lands on his face. Ella mistakes it as a sign of love, similarly to what Rodney would've done and believes DJ is her prince. She actually believes in it even more once she realizes how well-built, kind and animal-loving he is. When the girls speak about love, Katie admits she finds Trent hot and gushes over him and wonders where he is (he wasn't in the restaurant). Beardo notices it and sighs as he wants to find a girlfriend too, so he could finally dance with one at a party instead of always being the D.J..

Ezekiel reveals in the confessional he's scared of what today will bring for him because usually he same team loses first two challenges, which would mean some other team may lose this time, and he doesn't want to be the first one, as well as male, eliminated from his team again.

Justin is so annoyed that no one cares about him that he starts pointing out every bad thing about his teammates, like Dawn's weirdiness, B's silentness, Beardo's sound effects, DJ being too much of a chicken at times, Ella singing too often, Ezekiel being a weak contestant that always screws up, Staci constantly lying, Katie having to compete without her best friend, Brick's fear of darkness, and Trent possibly being determined to win Gwen back, which annoys his teammates, especially because some of those traits could be an advantage or aren't true anymore. Justin also swears he's going to prove his worth in the next challenge.

Meanwhile, Jo tells Duncan and Eva they should let someone else join their alliance to gain one more vote. Duncan suggests Gwen (revealing in the confessional he's doing so only to spend more time with her because she keeps avoiding him), to which Jo agrees, finding Gwen as the only tough and tolerable teammate left. Duncan also asks teasingly whether they should let Brick join the alliance, but Jo glrares at him and tells him only their temmates can be in their alliance. Duncan asks if it's going to change after the merge, bu Jo just tells him to end the topic and adds she doesn't believe Brick would reach the merge.

Thus, Duncan immediately leaves to ask Gwen if she wanted to join their alliance. Gwen refuses and openly says to Duncan it's only because he is a part of it. She then admits in the confessional that turning down this offer was most likely a bad idea, but she knows they won't vote for her anyway because of Duncan, and says that not getting votes from them while not being around Duncan is much better for her.

In the meantime, Anne Maria joins to Alejandro, Heather, and Dakota's table, much to their frustration, especially the latter two. She begins to flirt with Alejandro right in front of Heather, which he doesn't mind at first, taking a pleasure in making Heather jealous, but quickly remembers he and Heather need to work together this time and politely asks Anne Maria to sit with someone else. She leaves annoyed and glaring at Heather. After she left, Heather says she's so going to be their first target and Dakota seconds the idea.

Chef then appears in the restaurant and explains the next challenge. The challenge is yet another talent show. The teams can choose three contestants again. The difference is that more than one contestants can pair up with somebody and perform their talents together. The contestants who have already performed in the talent show-themed challenges are forbidden from doing so this time. The contestants who auditioned but were rejected or their performance couldn't happen for some technical reasons (Courtney) are allowed to have a chance this time. Chef gives the contestants an hour to decide who will compete and two hours for the selected contestants to practise before performing in the challenge. Another difference is that contestants performing in duos can score 20 points max, each of them scoring 10.

Ezekiel asks why they should volunteer to compete in this challenge if the ones who'll be performing will be the ones targeted for elimination. Chef responds that that actually anyone can be eliminated, some because they refused to compete or were too lazy.

Ella leaves to go to her room and overhears Trent singing while being still in the bathroon (you have to wait for so long when there are so many contestants, which is why he was absent in the restaurant). She really likes his voice and wishes he was on Total Drama World Tour to sing more. She then questions whether Trent should be "her prince" instead of DJ, but remembers that Katie is also into Trent. When Dawn arrives, she asks Dawn which one she should choose. Dawn then tells her to choose the cool musician because he is more like Katie's idol than a boyfriend material and that the destiny tells her DJ will hook up with a different girl this time, but she can't see with who exactly yet. Ella thanks her friend for an advice and they go on their team's meeting.

The Snakes' meeting has already begun in the meantime. Harold is sad he can't show his "mad skills" again to help his team. Duncan pretends to lament over this and kicks him in the kiwis, which makes Harold dare Duncan to perform for his team. Although he doesn't know what to show yet, he accepts the dare. Heather then is sad that she can't actually perform her ballet dance, like she originally wanted years ago. Gwen reminds her it was her own decision last time and she could've actually performed instead of trying to embarass her, stating by the way it was a bad move because it backfired and almost caused Heather herself to be eliminated instead of her target. Heather glares at Gwen for pointing out her past mistake. Courtney on the other hand is happy to actually be able to perform playing violin this time. Scott agrees to choose her for the challenge as her only ally left. Meanwhile, Anne Maria and Dakota argue who of them should take part. Alejandro uses the moment when they're too busy with each other and volunteers as the last one, wanting to show how flexible he is, putting his hair in a ponytail using his feet like in Greece's Pieces.

Amy admits in the confessional she still wants to show everyone how pathetic Samey is and says this challenge is a perfect opportunity for this. That's why she volunteers her and herself to perform cheerleading in the challenge. Samey has doubts about this, but Jasmine encourages her to do so, telling her that even if they screw up it'll be Amy who will be the target for elimination. This means they already have two volunteers. Both Beth and Tyler volunteer for the last spot left, telling they've improved their talents since Not Quite Famous. When they realize one of them will have to be rejected, they ask Lindsay for her opinion which one of them should perform. Lindsay finds herself in a really hard situation having to choose between two people she likes the most. She admits that Tyler is clumsy, which means he could still screw up his performance, especially in a case of a stage fright, but Beth's talent nearly killed Screaming Gophers during her audition and tells someone else should choose. Both Emma and Jasmine want to do so, being the leaders of the team. Noah however tells Emma to stay quiet so she won't be blamed for losing in case one of them screws up their performance. Thus, Jasmine chooses Beth, saying she's less clumsy than Tyler who might have practised for years but will possibly fail anyway, which makes Tyler sad because he thought it'd be a great chance to show off to win Lindsay back. He's still happy she at least didn't reject his offer to compete.

The last team to take a decision is the Furious Flamingos. Everyone is sad that Trent can't compete this time and Justin is sad he won't have an ocassion to show off. Trent however volunteers Ella, saying her voice is also amazing and admits he likes her ability to come up with the lyrics at any time. Beardo then volunteers to perform beat-boxing, pointing out how Harold won using this talent. The last volunteer is Katie who wants to perform her dance, stating it's much better after the years. Everyone disbeliefs, stating it's a "Staci-like" lie (much to the sadness of Staci), but they eventually choose her because there were no other volunteers.

Before the show begins, Jo tells Eva they should sabotage the other teams' performances and thus should stay in the backstage. Eva isn't convinced at first until Jo tells her it can be her revenge that she promised years ago, as well as a warning to the newer contestants that she's a threat.

Trent meets Ella by the way to the stage that had been built on the beach for this challenge. She confesses she's actually stressed out because what's her passion may cause her to be eliminated and because Chef will judge her talent. Trent says he wishes he could help her in some way, which makes her feel better.

The first team to perform is the Sneaky Snakes for tying for the first place last time and being the best team in the first episode. The first one to perform is Courtney. Chef says her performance was boring, but he appreciates her talent. He gives her 7/10.

The second contestant who is up for the challenge is Beardo. However, he becomes so stressed out that he passed out. Chef announces they just skip to the next performance and Beardo will be given a chance later. However, he'll be disqualified if he won't recover before the end of the challenge.

The next performance thus belongs to the Bickering Bats instead. While they perform their cheerleading choreography, Eva destroys the speakers in the backstage. Amy and Samey suddenly stop, confused. The recorded later that day confessional shown to the viewers after this scene shows that Amy was fine with the situation, but prefered to sabotage Samey's performance herself rather than it being the speakers' fault (no one noticed it was Eva)). Luckily for the cheerleading twins, Beardo regains his consciousness and, noticing the whole situation, decides to help the twins, not wanting Samey to lose because he knows Amy would blame it on her sister anyway. He thus starts beat-boxing and gives them the signal to continue their performance to his music. The twins do so, but that's when Amy decides to sabotage Samey by pulling her skirt down, which not only trips her, but also leaves her in her panties. This makes Beardo, who had the closest view, the most uncomfortable. Samey quickly puts her skirt back, but they aren't allowed to continue. Chef states their performance has been already stopped once. He values the fact they were able to continue after the first misfortune and he admits he liked their choreography and gives them a score of 6/20 because of that.

Although the next up is Beardo, Chef forbids him from competing because he technically has already performed. When Samey sees Beardo's huge sacrifice for her, she thanks him by kissing him on the cheek, which makes him blush.

This means Ella has to perform now, but the Furious Flamingos are short of a member competing. Trent decides to compete too, helping Ella with his music, forgetting he is forbidden from doing so because he was reminded of it only once during their team's meeting. Ella asks if he knows what he's doing, which makes him remember the rules, but he decides to help her anyway because this time he won't be singing. Justin laments how Trent gets to perform but he doesn't, but it's too late because the performance has to begin. Ella thus sings to Trent's music with her improvised as always lyrics about love. Chef admits he really liked her voice and prefered the fact that she sang to the music, unlike her original plans to sing acapella and that he would give them 10/10, but he still has to disqualify them because Trent also performed. Trent asks why to which Chef says that while he didn't sing this time playing a guitar was also his talent both today and years ago. Trent becomes sad and apologizes Ella for ruining her performance, but she says she doesn't mind and she actully appreciated his help. Justin however laughs at them in the crowd of the audience, being sure he has a chance to vote off a talented Trent who steals his spotlight.

The next round begins with Alejandro's performance. Chef admits he is both impressed and disgusted by his talent, so he gives him 5/10. Heather grins mockingly at Alejandro for not being able to impress a potentially gay Chef with his talent.

The next one on the stage is Katie whose dance turns out to be as terrible as it used to be. Chef thus gives her only a 4/10. Although, this basically confirms the Flamingos are today's losers, the competition continues to see which team will win and enjoy the reward that was cancelled in the previous episode because of a tie for a first place.

The stage now belongs to the last competing member of Bickering Bats, Beth. Her talent did in fact improve since Total Drama Island, but Chef admits he was still afraid of potentially being burned alive. He adds he likes adrenaline however. That's why he gives her 6/10. Lindsay cheers for her friend while Tyler becomes jealous of the attention she got from Lindsay and begins to wonder if he would've done better, maybe even securing victory for their team.

Chef announces that with a tie for the first place and the Snakes still having one member to perform, it's rather obvious who's going to win and they can cancel Duncan's performance as well. Duncan however protests because he finally figured out what he can show. Chef reluctantly agrees, being intrigued whether Duncan could fail so much to score no points at all. The delinquent draws a graffiti. Chef dislikes Duncan and disapproves of his vandalism, but admits he liked the way his graffiti looked like, refering to it as a "cute bunny" to spite him. He gives him only 3 points, but this is enough for the Sneaky Snakes to win. Courtney mocks Duncan for scoring the least points nonetheless until Duncan reminds her Amy and Samey scored 3 each as well.

After the challenge ends, Justin expresses his happiness due to the fact that Trent lost and asks everyone to vote for him. This only makes the others to lose their patience with him even more. Meanwhile, Ella tells Dawn she hopes Trent won't be voted out because of wanting to help her. Dawn comforts her, saying that they have their alliance and anyone can be voted out this time. This is also why they don't vote for Beardo who also was the reason they lost. Instead, the alliance decides to vote for Justin, being sick of his whining and big ego. Ella also makes Trent another member of their alliance, which her friends greatly accept. Despite not being an official member, Brick votes for Justin too.

Meanwhile Ezekiel decides to vote either for Beardo or Trent, but decides to vote for Trent, wanting to spare Beardo with a poor performance competition wise, feeling his pain. Justin also votes for him for the reasons that were already sated.

Katie likes Trent too much and decides to help him by voting for another one who failed today, Beardo, being unaware of the alliance's help. Staci does the same, wanting to have a better competing episodes count than Beardo.

Justin is shocked he is eliminated despite not even competing in the challenge and especially because of not costing their team the challenge, unlike Beardo and Trent. Chef states that because of a tie for getting second highest amount of votes, there won't be a double elimination again. Leaving alone makes Justin even more furious (matches his team's name, right?).

Harold visits B and Beardo, saying that how Beardo helped the twins was amazing and that he likes his "mad beatbox skills." The two beatboxers end up practicing beatbox together for several hours until B shows them the clock to show that the other contestants would rather fall asleep now than listen to their beatbox.

Chef signs off the episode, asking whether Eva's sabotage will remain unnoticed, who will fail next time and whether there's a chance for new couples to be formed.

Exclusive clip
Justin laments due to being eliminated despite not being the reason his team lost and being eliminated alone. He however cheers up when he adds he at least is still important in the modeling business. His happiness is interrupted when he sees a rat biting Chris's CD that frightens him.
