Ep 8

[b]Episode 8: Don’t Call It A Comeback[/b]

The camera zooms in on Edge of Extinction flag with dramatic music playing. We begin the episode at the Edge of Extinction, the morning after the latest elimination.

Anne Maria: \*walks on sand and sees note\* Y’all, we got something!

Alejandro: Bring it over here.

Anne Maria: \*grabs note and walks over to them\* (CONFESSIONAL: All this time on Edge, we ain’t ever had a scroll or paper. I see it and it could be anything. I was hoping for a Dennys Menu or some shit. I’m starvin’.)

Gwen: What does it say?

Anne Maria: \*reads note\* The time has come. Today, you will compete in the Edge of Extinction challenge and one pair will earn their way back into the main game.

Zoey: Oh my god. Already?

Owen: I haven’t even eaten yet!

Izzy: Today’s the day, Big O.

Noah: \*starts packing items\* Just great.

Samey: \*stretches\*

Amy: Stretch MORE. (CONFESSIONAL: Samey and I just got here last night, and I’m bitter as fuck. How did a dweeb like Cameron take us out? I can’t live that down. So you better believe I’m going to give it my all to get back in that damn mansion.)

Zoey: \*ties hair\* Don’t forget to drink water.

Anne Maria: Girl I did.

Zoey: This could be it, this could be our ticket off of the Edge.

Anne Maria: Thank god. I’m ready to leave this shithole.

Zoey: (CONFESSIONAL: Anne Maria and I have been here since day 1. This time on Edge has naturally brought us closer together, and that’s really all we needed going into this returnee competition. I’m going to leave it all out on the line. I will fight tooth and nail to get back.)

We see Trent and Gwen looking at the sunrise

Trent: It’s really beautiful.

Gwen: Yeah well, it might be our last time looking at it from here.

Trent: Hopefully

Gwen: I’m ready. Bring it on.

Alejandro: Don’t show any mercy, Noah.

Noah: Didn’t know we were going to a gun fight.

Owen: Izzy, just imagine all the FOOD waiting for us back in the mansion.

Izzy: And the couches. Can’t forget the couches.

We transition to all 10 individuals marching in slow motion, walking toward the Edge of Extinction challenge.

Anne Maria: (CONFESSIONAL: I’ve been stuck on this island for too damn long. Look at me. I already lost my booty from all this weight I’ve been losing.)

Trent: (CONFESSIONAL: I feel like I was screwed out of a million dollars and I want my spot in the game back. Nothing’s holding me back, I’m going balls to the wall.)

Alejandro: (CONFESSIONAL: WHEN I get back in, no more tip toeing around Heather. No more soft spots and no mercy. Heather, I’m coming for you.)

We transition to the 12 pairs still in the main game walking toward Chris and lining up. They believe it is their next daily challenge.

Lindsay: Oh no... (CONFESSIONAL: We walk in and I see a PUZZLE. Puzzles are sooo not my best friend in this game and I’m terrified.)

Chris: Welcome to the next challenge.

Everyone claps except Eva

Courtney: Chris, why are there only 5 stations?

Katie: If people get to sit out, I want to sit out!

Sadie: Ooh, me too!

Lindsay: Me three.

Tyler: If Lindsay’s sitting out, I’m sitting out.

DJ: Why do y’all get to sit out? My back hurts

Chris: Enough! How about you ALL sit out?

Courtney: That is completely unfair!

Jo: Yeah, I didn’t agree to that.

Chris: This challenge isn’t for you. It’s for them.

Blaineley: Huh?

Chris: Come on in!

We suddenly see Zoey, Anne Maria, Noah, Alejandro, Izzy, Owen, Gwen, Trent, Amy and Samey marching in a single file line in slow motion.

Duncan: Holy shit.

Geoff: No way...

Lightning: Sha what???

Chris: Returning from the Edge of Extinction....Zoey. Anne Maria. Noah. Alejandro. Izzy. Owen. Gwen. Trent. Amy. And Samey. Sugar and Ella are missing. They decided to raise the white flag and leave the game for good.

Jo: Of course they did.

All 10 individuals line up in front of the remaining contestants.

Chris: Let me be clear. Starting with Zoey and Anne Maria, every pair that got eliminated got sent to the Edge of Extinction. They had nothing but a spear and a machete. They had to survive the island and gather their own food, all for this moment. This return challenge. One of these pairs are about to win their way back into the game.

Bridgette: Zoey looks so skinny

Katie: I NEED her diet plan.

Heather: (CONFESSIONAL: I don’t like this, not one bit. Once you’re out, you should STAY out. They’re like cockroaches, they just won’t die. Especially Alejandro. I can live with this as long as he loses. Anybody but Alejandro, please.)

Chris: Let’s get to it. In this challenge, your and your partner will be handcuffed to one another. Together, you will compete in an obstacle course. You will first crawl under a net. After that, you will climb over a wall. Once you’re over, there will be 2 balance beams 4 feet apart from another. You will each cross your own individual balance beam, while handcuffed to your partner trying to balance each other’s weight. Once you’re through that, there is a key to unlock the handcuffs and a pile of puzzle pieces. The first pair to complete the puzzle WINS their way back into the game. Let’s get started.

We transition to all 5 pairs handcuffed to one another.

Trent: \*gets in running position\* (CONFESSIONAL: Earlier in this game, Gwen wanted nothing to do with me and now here we are handcuffed together. \*laughs\*)

Chris: First part of the obstacle course is to crawl under the net. Ready...set....

Zoey: (CONFESSIONAL: All those tired, hungry and cold nights...it all comes down to this. I have been preparing for this challenge for weeks and I’m going to try my absolute best. There’s no holding back.)

Chris: GO!

All 5 pairs start running toward the net.

Samey: \*falls on face\*

Chris: There’s a learning curve to this challenge! How will you manage to do an obstacle course while handcuffed?

Alejandro/Noah, Gwen/Trent and Zoey/Anne Maria quickly reach the net and start crawling.

Alejandro: You’re doing great Noah!

Izzy: \*reaches net and starts crawling\*

Chris: Izzy and Owen are not out of it yet! Twins, you need to pick it up.

Amy: Hurry up! \*drags Samey under net\*

Alejandro and Noah get out the net first, followed by Gwen/Trent and Zoey/Anne Maria.

Noah: \*runs toward wall\* (CONFESSIONAL: As lovely as the Edge of Exctinction is, I’ve grown tired of the island life. I’m ready to get back in the game.)

Chris: Alejandro and Noah in the lead!

Alejandro: \*starts climbing up wall\*

Izzy/Owen and Amy/Samey finish crawling and start running toward the wall

Alejandro: \*climbs to the top of the wall and pulls Noah up\*

Samey: \*climbs wall\*

Trent: \*pulls Gwen up\*

Duncan: Go Gwen! (CONFESSIONAL: I thought Gwen was back in Canada chilling, but she’s got a legitimate shot at getting back in the game. Just imagine if she returns, it’d be sick!)

Zoey/Anne Maria and Amy/Samey finish climbing the wall. Izzy and Owen are struggling on the wall.

Owen: I can’t....

Izzy: MOVE IT! \*tries to pull him up\*

Chris: The next part of this obstacle course is the balance beams. You will have to be mindful of balancing your partner’s weight.

Alejandro: \*walks across beam\* (CONFESSIONAL: Not to sound arrogant, but I have the best agility and balance in this game. I was a gymnast as a kid and I’m light on my feet.)

Zoey: \*walks across balance beam\*

Anne Maria: \*walks across balance beam\*

Cameron: You got this Zoey!

Izzy: \*keeps trying to pull Owen up the wall\*

Amy/Samey quickly finish the balance beam and unlock their handcuffs.

Amy: (CONFESSIONAL: Samey and I FINALLY catch up and we take the lead, Duh! Who’s going to beat two cheerleaders with balance? Nobody.)

Amy and Samey start working on their puzzle.

Cameron: (CONFESSIONAL: I am the twin slayer. If they get back in the game, I might as well get back in my bubble because Amy’s going to murder me.)

Gwen/Trent, Alejandro/Noah and Zoey/Anne Maria eventually start working on their puzzles

Geoff: Man, this is really close.

Leshawna: WOOO GO GWEN!

Chris: Izzy and Owen are still on the wall. Pick it up!

Izzy: Owen, you can do it. (CONFESSIONAL: I LOVE Owen, I really do. But poor guy can’t get up this wall. Part of me wanted to rub the lamp I found at the airport and ask the Genie to bring us back in the game, but it’s tricky to mess with magic. My grandmother is stuck in a mirror dimension as we speak for tampering with magic.)

Gwen: \*fits pieces together\* I need a big piece

Trent: \*hands her a piece\*

Zoey: \*shuffles pieces together\*

Anne Maria: \*stands by and watches\* (CONFESSIONAL: Look, I wanna get back in the mansion just as bad as anybody else. But puzzles? They ain’t my thing so I let redhead take the lead.)

Noah: \*places a piece\*

Amy: \*places final piece\* CHECK!!

Chris: Amy, that is incorrect.

Amy: What the fuck? It’s literally right.

The camera zooms in on a piece that fell on the ground.

Gwen: \*moves pieces around\* (CONFESSIONAL: I’m sick of the Edge. I just want to get back in the game and reunite with Duncan and my girls. Is that too much to ask for?)

Owen: \*climbs up wall\*

DJ: Let’s go Owen!!

Tyler: Owen! Owen! Owen!

Izzy/Owen start walking the balance beam.

Owen: \*falls over\* (CONFESSIONAL: Obstacle courses are a fat guy’s kryptonite. Everything in me wants to lie down and catch my breath, but I don’t want to let Izzy down. I already saw her give me the death eye on the wall. She’s a scary woman.)

Samey: \*sees piece on ground and grabs it\*

Amy: You idiot. Were you HIDING it?

Samey: No I-

Trent: \*places piece\* CHECK!

Chris: \*checke puzzle\* That is correct! Gwen and Trent have won their way BACK into the game.

Amy: Fuck.

Gwen: \*runs to crowd and hugs Leshawna, then kisses Duncan\*

Courtney: \*rolls eyes\*

Chris: Gwen and Trent, I’d say you can rejoin the group but it looks like Gwen already did. Congrats!

We transition to Zoey, Anne Maria, Alejandro, Noah, Izzy, Owen, Amy and Samey standing on the mat. They all look defeated.

Chris: Unfortunately, the 8 of you were not able to pull off this win.

Sad, yet heroic music starts to play.

Chris: Zoey, first one out. First one sent to Edge. How has that been weighing on you?

Zoey: \*tears up\* All this time on Edge, I’ve been the provider, the optimist...just trying to look strong. But inside, I’m angry and embarrassed. I expected so much more out of myself in this game.

Chris: Wow. Samey, you are in a unique situation as you are partners with your sister. What’s that been like?

Samey: Every other team here can leave this game and not talk to their partner for the rest of their life. Not me. I’m stuck with Amy, ever since the womb. I was hoping this experience would bring us closer together but it didn’t. It got uglier by the day. I just feel.. \*tears up\* defeated.

Amy: Grow up.

Chris: Izzy, how has this experience CHANGED your life?

Izzy: I got an appearance check.

Chris: Alejandro, it was a shock to see you go so early. With such a brief run, what has this experience meant to you?

Alejandro: I went into this game with a whole thought out strategy and high expectations. It blew up in my face and I’m still processing that feeling of shame. This experience has definitely humbled me for the better and I’m grateful for it.

Chris: You are all not out of it yet.

Owen: Huh?

Chris: Who wants to go BACK to the Edge of Extinction?

Samey: Oh my god..

Chris: Pack your things and head back to the Edge to await another opportunity to get back in the game.

The 8 of them say their goodbyes and start walking back to the Edge

Samey: (CONFESSIONAL: The comeback is always bigger than the setback. Amy and I aren’t out of it yet. We’ll be ready for the next opportunity.)

Chris: Gwen and Trent, welcome back. We are back at the final 13. Your next challenge will be soon. Get some rest.

We transition to the mansion, directly after the Edge of Extinction challenge.

Gwen: \*runs in bedroom to hug Leshawna, Lindsay, Bridgette and Jasmine\*

Leshawna: The girls are back in business!

Jasmine: How was it? You look rough.

Gwen: Gee, thanks.

Leshawna: (CONFESSIONAL: Gwen is my number one girl in this game and her winning was the best case scenario. Jo has been trying to get our asses out, and now we’re 5 strong again. Jokes on you.)

Trent: \*eats a burger and fries\*

DJ: That rough, huh?

Trent: Dude, it was insane out there. No food whatsoever.

DJ: Man, I hope I never get sent there. I couldn’t do it.

We transition to Courtney, Jo and Scott in the backyard.

Jo: Well that fucking sucked.

Courtney: I don’t agree with the twist.

Scott: Same here. We’re down in numbers again.

Jo: We have us 3, wizard and Dave and the clueless models. That’s 5. It’s not the end of the world.

Courtney: (CONFESSIONAL: UGH! Gwen is back in the game and this is easily the worst outcome that could have happened. Do you notice how Duncan and I won a tribunal as soon as that emo bitch left? She just threw my entire plan out the window.)

Heather: \*easedrops on them\* (CONFESSIONAL: Jo, Scott and Courtney are working together, which I find to be laughable. Is this a circus? Because all I’m seeing is a circle of clowns. They know they’re fucked and I don’t feel any sympathy toward either of them. They all suck as human beings.)

We transition to DJ, Lindsay, Geoff, Dave, Bridgette and Leshawna sitting in a circle.

Leshawna: Okay Bridgette, truth or dare?

Bridgette: Truth.

Leshawna: On a scale of 1-10, how good of a kisser was Alejandro?

Geoff: She doesn’t need to answer that.

Bridgette: Oh, I’ll answer alright. A solid 7.

Geoff: 7????

Bridgette: I can’t deny it, but no one’s a good as you Geoffy Bear.

Geoff: Aww! \*starts kissing Bridgette\*

DJ: Lindsay, truth or dare?

Lindsay: Dare.

DJ: I dare you to poke Eva in her sleep.

Bridgette: Don’t, she’ll kill you! She hasn’t had her daily oatmeal yet.

Lindsay: Challenge ACCEPTED. \*walks in Eva’s room\*

Eva: \*snores\*

Lindsay: (CONFESSIONAL: Okay, so I wanted to play truth or dare because this game is too stressful but waking up Eva? That is SOOO much more scarier than like, going into elimination or even the Edge of Extinction.)

DJ: \*watches\* Is she gonna do it?

Lindsay: \*leans in with a long stick\*

Geoff: Get ready to run.

Lindsay: \*pokes Eva in the nose\*

Eva: \*wakes up\* GAHHH! \*grabs stick and throws it at Lindsay\*

Lindsay: AHHHH! \*runs away\*

Geoff: \*laughs\* That’s a classic.

Dave: \*chuckles\* (CONFESSIONAL: I played truth or dare with Leshawna, DJ, Lindsay, Bridgette and Geoff just to pass time, but I actually had a blast! They’re a great group of people to hang around with and in the back of my head I’m thinking, “why aren’t Leonard and I working with them instead”? We’re aligned with Jo, Scott and Courtney, all of which are villains. We are NOT villains!)

Leonard: \*places candles in a triangular formation\*

Dave: \*knocks\* Hello? Is there some weird ritual I’m interrupting?

Leonard: Nope, just breakfast. You may enter.

Dave: Look, I was wondering if we should rethink our position in this game.

Leonard: Tell more.

Dave: Jo and Lightning, Jo and Scott, Courtney, Dakota and Justin..they’re already outnumbered and its a sinking ship. We need to get off of it before we go down with it.

Leonard: Fascinating offer. I will have to consult with the gatekeepers of-

Dave: Leonard, NO consulting. No magic. No spells. What do you think??

Leonard: Hm....

Dave: Leonard?

Leonard: I’m in, on one condition.

Dave: Anything.

Leonard: I need your assistance in a marvelous quest to journey in the jungles of Thailand when this is over, for I have heard stories of the Great Sook Jai tribe that possesses a rare collection of blood sucking leapfrogs.

Dave: Sure, whatever.

Leonard: (CONFESSIONAL: Silly Dave. I will be using him as a sacrifice to the tribe in exchange for the frogs.)

Duncan: \*lies down with Gwen\* It’s great to have you back.

Gwen: It’s only been like a week.

Duncan: And it’s been shitty for all of those days.

Gwen: Look at you having feelings. (CONFESSIONAL: The best part about returning to the game is that I get to be back with Duncan. Before I got eliminated, we had to sneak around and hide our relationship. Everything’s out in the open now, so who fucking cares?)

Duncan: Courtney looked pissed when you won.

Gwen: \*rolls eyes\* When isn’t she pissed?

Duncan: You should talk to her so she could chill. I would but-

Gwen: She yells at you too much, so now it’s my turn.

Duncan: Exactly.

Gwen: \*sighs\* Fine.

Duncan: (CONFESSIONAL: I’m kind of sending Gwen into a suicide mission by having her talk one on one with Courtney, but Courtney’s fucking crazy so hopefully they have some “girl talk” and this shit gets sorted out.)

Trent: \*walks into room\* That shower felt amazing.

Dakota: How was it on the Edge?

Trent: The worst thing has gotta be the animals. Noah woke up with a rat in his mouth once. It was pretty gross.

Dakota: \*gags and runs to bathroom\*

Topher: That is so gross!

Trent: Then don’t get sent there.

Topher: (CONFESSIONAL: I think I’d rather die than go to the Edge of Extinction. Just hearing the stories from Gwen and Trent scares the crap out of me.)

We transition to the Edge of Extinction, where we see the 8 individuals who lost arriving at the Edge.

Noah: That sucked.

Zoey: Yeah... (CONFESSIONAL: Coming BACK to the Edge had to have been the most depressing walk of our lives. Any of us would kill to be in Gwen and Trent’s spots, but instead we’re here. Cold and hungry. \*buries face in hands\* It’s horrible.)

Alejandro: Amy, do you want to help get firewood?

Amy: I’m not doing anything. \*storms off\*

Samey: Don’t mind her, she’s not taking the loss well.

Anne Maria: I don’t blame her. I’m tired of this island.

Owen: Cheer up guys! We still have each other.

Noah: Great. Just great.

Zoey: \*sits on sand and looks up at flag\* (CONFESSIONAL: In life, I’m one to never give up but looking at the Edge flag after losing the challenge... \*cries\* I considered raising it for a brief moment. I can’t believe I let myself get to that point. But I’m just feel horrible after that loss. I feel like I disappointed my boyfriend Mike by being the first one out. What if he breaks up with me because I left first?)

Noah: So Al, what’s it like being on this island with two girls you toyed with?

Alejandro: You’re talking about Anne Maria and Amy? I can cope.

Noah: They’re both firecrackers. I’d be careful if I was you.

We transition to Amy and Anne Maria washing off in the ocean

Anne Maria: Wait, so he did the same thing to you?

Amy: Of course! I’m just lucky I saw through his bullshit.

Anne Maria: Did he do the thing where he called your feistiness attractive?

Amy: He did that to you too?

Anne Maria: Damn right he did.

Amy: He’s such a tool. (CONFESSIONAL: Alejandro does the same tricks over and over, and everyone sees it. I see it, Anne Maria sees it, even Heather sees it. You fucked with the wrong cast of women, because you’re dead to us now.)

Anne Maria: I oughtta kill his ass.

Amy: Me and you both.

Anne Maria: (CONFESSIONAL: Alejandro ain’t gonna be toying around with no more girls. I don’t respect him as a man. Not one bit.)

Alejandro: I think it should be fine.

Noah: Your funeral.

We transition back to the mansion. We see Heather, Harold and Dave in a room.

Heather: So you want to leave the Axis of Evil and join our side?

Dave: \*nods\*

Heather: Let me make one thing clear. This isn’t a daycare, we aren’t going to baby you and drag you along. So you better pull your weight or else I-

Davie: Yeah, I know.

Heather: Excellent. \*walks out room\*

Harold: Don’t mind her. She’s...Heather.

Dave: Better her than Jo Scott AND Courtney.

Harold: (CONFESSIONAL: I’m an honorary girl’s alliance member because of my connection to m’lady Leshawna. I don’t mind it, because it puts DJ and I in a great spot. If anything, they’re making a mistake taking a tough competitor like me so far.)

Producer: \*laughs\*

We transition to Gwen approaching Courtney’s door.

Gwen: (CONFESSIONAL: Duncan told me I should try and clear the air with Courtney, and I’m dreading it. I really am. It’s like a band aid, I need to just rip it off and get it over with.)

Courtney: Come in!

Gwen: \*opens door\* Hey...

Courtney: I’m sorry, do you have the wrong room?

Gwen: \*slowly walks in\* Actually, I wanted to talk to you.

Courtney: We don’t have anything to talk about.

Gwen: Can we just talk WOMAN to WOMAN? I don’t have anything against you, I really don’t. This animosity just isn’t worth it, it’s old.

Courtney: Are you calling my feelings invalid?

Gwen: No, no! I just...ask for a new beginning or at least for us to be civilized.

Courtney: And for me to stop targeting you.

Gwen: Well, that too.

Courtney: Duncan’s never going to agree to vote you in, so fine. But if you screw with me again, I won’t be this forgiving and kind. You’re lucky you found me on a good day.

Gwen: This is what’s considered a good day of Courtney?

Courtney: Don’t push it. (CONFESSIONAL: Gwen has proven to me about a dozen times she’s a snake and can’t be trusted. I don’t respect her, I don’t trust her but I can be civil. Faking a smile, pretending to care about what she is talking about....I’m a professional at that. How do you think I got class president?)

We transition to all 13 remaining pairs walking toward a junkyard for the next challenge.

Chris: Welcome to your next challenge here on The Challenge: Total Drama. 1 mile away from me is an old junkyard. Your job is to run to the junkyard and bring back as much items from it as you can to your scale. After THREE hours, the 3 teams with the heaviest scales will win today’s challenge and form the tribunal.

Lightning: Easy!

Chris: I wouldn’t say that, Lightning. Because the pair that brings in the least weight is ELIMINATED and will be sent straight to the Edge of Extinction. That’s right, this is another purge challenge. There’s too much of y’all.

Everyone gasps except Eva

Trent: (CONFESSIONAL: Gwen and I just got here. To be sent back to Edge so soon would crush my spirit. I don’t know what I’d do with myself.)

Leshawna: (CONFESSIONAL: Chris needs to calm the fuck down with these purges. Cause my alliance has the numbers and this purge can mess it all up.)

Topher: (CONFESSIONAL: Not another purge! I HATE purges. They’re like, way too stressful and the last thing I want is wrinkles on camera.)

We transition to all 13 pairs in a running position

Chris: Remember, the key is to have the HEAVIEST load. Ready....set.....GO!

All 26 individuals start the one mile sprint toward the junkyard. Lightning, Jo, Eva, Jasmine and Geoff take the lead.

Lightning: \*runs\* (CONFESSIONAL: I’m not scared of no purge. The purge can kiss my ass. Lightning is gonna do what Lightning does best and win.)

Jasmine: \*reaches junkyard first and grabs 2 barrels\*

Bridgette: \*runs and sees Jasmine\* (CONFESSIONAL: Jasmine, as always, is a freaking monster in the challenge and she just happens to carry 2 heavy barrels on her own.)

Everybody soon arrives to the junkyard

Geoff: \*carries tires\*

Dakota: Justin, can you help me carry this fridge?

Justin: \*helps her\*

Dakota: (CONFESSIONAL: I’m not ready to go, so my strategy is to start off with the heaviest item I see and transport it before Justin and I get tired.)

Scott: Let’s GO Cameron!

Cameron: \*struggles to carry a box and falls on knees\*

Scott: Jesus, get up!

Lindsay: \*digs through junkyard\* Ooh, is that a mirror? I look sooo rough today.

Tyler: Lindsay, focus. Grab the mirror and go.

Lindsay: Gladly. \*grabs a tiny mirror and runs\*

Katie and Sadie are seen working together to carry car parts.

Jo: (CONFESSIONAL: You know when Katie and Sadie of all people are working their asses off, it’s serious. There’s no time to waste, it’s go time.)

Rock and roll music plays in the background as we get slow motion shots of the contestants doing the challenge.

Duncan: \*rummages through junkyard\*

Bridgette: \*drags along an old stove\*

DJ: \*throws bins onto scale\*

Blaineley: \*carries a painting\* (CONFESSIONAL: Everyone looks at me as the older woman of the house who can’t do anything. Well guess what bitches, I’m carrying a painting. And you better believe I’m not going to the Edge.)

Jasmine: Come on Topher!

Topher: \*slows down to catch breath\*

Jasmine: Don’t stop moving, a million dollars on the line.

Topher: \*jogs\* (CONFESSIONAL: Being partnered with Jasmine is hard because she’s a beast and I can’t keep up with her. I’m just like, slow down! I’m not trying to have the camera catch me all sweaty.)

Elapsed Time: 1 Hour

Gwen: \*walks slowly with a car door\*

Harold: \*wipes sweat\*

Bridgette: \*vomits\*

We see a close up shot of the sun

Geoff: (CONFESSIONAL: This sun is no joke. We’ve been going back and forth for about an hour and it’s taking its toll. The sun’s supposed to be fun and all. I could be surfing or throwing a killer pool party, but this? This just sucks.)

Jasmine: \*continues to run\*

Dakota: \*exhaustedly carries a crate over head\* (CONFESSIONAL: Everyone is slowing down and that’s my chance to speed up. Everyone underestimates me in this game and I just wanna prove people wrong. Yes, I’m rich. Yes, I’m hot. Yes, I’m a B List celebrity. But I can hold my own in this game.)

DJ: \*carries boxes on back\*

Leshawna: Don’t hurt your back DJ.

Lightning: \*throws car door onto scale\*

Dave: \*carries old rusty chairs\*

Harold: Keep going Dave.

Dave: (CONFESSIONAL: I’m trying my best, I really am. But there’s only so much that the littlest guy in the game can do. It’s not the muscles that are going to win the game, its the heart. And I have just as much heart as anybody here. My partner on the other hand...)

Leonard: \*stands on top of junk pile and waves wand\* TRANSPORATION SPELL!!!

Jo: Get the fuck out the way so I can grab that cabinet

Scott: \*runs\*

Jasmine: TOPHER DON’T GIVE UP

Topher: I’m trying!

Gwen: \*carries old luggages and starts to fall\*

Trent: \*catches her and helps carries luggages\*

Gwen: Thanks.

Jo: \*carries a cabinet and throws it onto scale\*

Tyler: \*carries a lawnmower\* (CONFESSIONAL: I consider myself to be a pretty athletic guy, but this challenge has gotta be the hardest thing I’ve ever done.)

Lindsay: Wooo go Tyler!

Tyler: \*trips on self\*

Lindsay: Awww, that’s okay!

Eva: \*carries a TV\* Move out my way!!! \*runs over Dave\*

Dave: Ow!

Eva: (CONFESSIONAL: Unless these people wanna end up in my bodybags, they better stay out my way.)

Elapsed Time: 2 Hours 45 Minutes

Chris: 15 minutes left! Get what you can on your scale.

Courtney: \*runs\* (CONFESSIONAL: I don’t care how hot it is or how long it’s been. I need a spot in that tribunal at all costs. It is vital that I make as much as tribals as I can in this game, so I can have every opportunity to push this game down the right path. MY path.)

DJ: \*carries planks of wood\*

Dave: \*exhaustedly crawls to scale and throws bricks in\*

Chris: Pick it up!

Eva: \*throws lamps onto scale\*

Chris: Get your last loads in!

Topher: \*runs, carrying car doors\* (CONFESSIONAL: Jasmine’s been working hard this challenge and I’ve been a tar bit...slow. So when I hear Chris say get that last load in, I am like oh my god! I need to beast this last run.)

Leshawna: \*carries logs\*

Chris: 10....9....8....7...

Topher: \*runs toward scale\*

Chris: 6....5.....4....

Topher: \*runs faster\*

Chris: 3....2....

Topher: \*jumps toward scale\*

Chris: 1....0.

Topher: \*falls on ground\* No!!!

Chris: Oh, yes.

As the challenge ends, we see everybody exhausted after a grueling 3 hour run.

Leshawna: \*lies down on back\* (CONFESSIONAL: I’m tired. I’m not a Crossfit runner or nothing. Hell, I don’t even go to the gym. But that run...Chris, you’re brutal for that.)

Bridgette: \*starts to cry\* (CONFESSIONAL: When that run was over, I just got emotional. It was so hard and I just let it all out. It’s not like me to cry, but that was a hard freaking 3 hours.)

We transition to the 13 pairs lined back up.

Chris: That was an INCREDIBLE challenge. You all should give yourselves a pat on the back for completing it.

Everyone claps except Eva

Chris: 3 teams however, collected the most weight and are not only safe from being purged but will also form the tribunal. They are....Jo and Lightning.

Lightning: Yes!

Chris: Eva and Bridgette.

Bridgette: \*offers Eva a high five\*

Eva: ...

Chris: And...

Courtney: \*crosses fingers\*

Chris: Dakota and Justin.

Dakota: Oh my god!!! \*hugs Justin\* (CONFESSIONAL: This is my first ever tribunal and I am super excited! That was the toughest challenge we had and the fact that I won it is incredible.)

Chris: Onto scarier matters, one of you guys had the least amount of weight and will be sent to the Edge of Extinction.

Topher: Oh god...

Scott: \*whispers to Cameron\* You better have not fucked this up.

Chris: The team that’s been eliminated is...

Katie: \*holds Sadie’s hand\*

Lindsay: \*bites lip\*

Trent: \*looks down\*

Chris: Dave and Leonard.

Leonard: TIME REVERSAL SPELL!

Chris: Yeah, no. You’re out of here.

Leonard: Curse you all!

Harold: Bye Dave.

Dave: \*waves goodbye\* Good luck guys. (CONFESSIONAL: That sucks. I was finally getting my footing in the game by forming new alliances and poof, I lose the purge challenge. Off to the Edge of Extinction.)

We then see Dave and Leonard being dropped off at the Edge of Extinction.

Dave: Welp, here we are.

Owen: Awesome! We got the wizard.

Leonard: Greetings.

Izzy: Ooh! This is gonna be so much fun.

Leonard: Hm.. (CONFESSIONAL: I am sensing a strong magical force on this island and I can’t yet put my finger on it. Perhaps being eliminated was because I had a greater calling.)

NEXT TIME ON THE CHALLENGE...

Players on the Edge start to play dirty.

Amy: \*whispers to Anne Maria\* We need to get him to raise the flag.

Anne Maria: \*throws Alejandro’s boots in the ocean\*

...and players are rubbed the wrong way by someone who has come into power.

Topher: (CONFESSIONAL: What the fuck Justin?)
