Hell Week

**Hell Week** is a twist in the Total Drama: Free Agents series. During this week, most of the time, a contestant will return to the competition, while the others head straight into an automatic elimination. After this, they compete in the challenge, and finally head to one last elimination.
This week is considered a good time for contestants to take out challenge threats because there is no won immunity for the first elimination.

Hell Week has taken place officially in four seasons. However, it was originally called Purge Week in Total Drama: Free Agents III. There are also multiple weeks in Total Drama: Free Agents II that may possibly be considered one, although there is no actual Hell Week.

## TDFAIII

Hell Week, or Purge Week, took place for the first time on Week Six of Total Drama: Free Agents III.

### Pre-Vote

After successfully eliminating Chase Grande, things seemed to look positive for the Quartet Threat. However, Faust Allius, being a consistent follower of TDFA, was well aware that it was a big risk to keep Naomi Lee in the game. He viewed her as a strategic and social threat and knew that she needed to be eliminated soon.

At the beginning of the week, Faust went against the alliance, talking to other competitors, such as Bree McKinley, about voting Naomi out. Many agreed that if they wanted her out, it needed to be soon. However, Faust did not mention this to the alliance, most likely to avoid the vote turning around on him.

### Automatic Elimination

Later, Frieda Bhatt returned to the competition, and Karma announced that it was "Purge Week". This sent them into an automatic elimination, where only Frieda was safe. Faust took this as his opportunity and decided to whisper the plan to Travis Stone, catching the attention of Naomi and Jinxie Blackwell. Faust acted as though they already had a plan as an alliance though, giving a thumbs up.

Naomi, being confused that everyone already had someone to vote for, mentioned that no one had been talking to her, and she wasn't sure where anyone's head was. Bree spoke up and mentioned that Faust had told her to vote for Naomi, and she was sure that he told other competitors too. In exchange, Naomi and Jinxie promised not to vote for her.

This shocked both Naomi and Jinxie, causing Naomi to blow up at Faust for trying to betray her. An argument between the two broke out. Faust mentioned Naomi previously taking out Wesley Shine, while Naomi mentioned this being an awful game move. The main issue between the two came down to Naomi have no idea she was being targeted, and Faust breaking up their alliance.

During this fight, Travis eventually started breaking down, mentioning how he was dumb and only good for a vote. This is actually what stopped Faust and Naomi's argument, since they both immediately went to tell Travis otherwise. This eventually resulted in Travis blaming himself for his wife's death on camera, something he'd been avoiding. Luckily, things resolved when Naomi and Travis talked it out, due to them having similar feelings of self-loathing.

At the end of this, Naomi was revealed to be eliminated in a 4-1-1 vote, the other two votes being Bree and Faust. Naomi accepted this fate, joking that her last elimination was much worse. When Faust shook Naomi's hand and said *"Good game."*, she responded with, *"I'd say the same, but we know what you've done,"* hinting at Faust's inevitable elimination later that same week.

### Challenge

After the first elimination, the final six, and Naomi, all headed down to the beach for the challenge. The challenge was a race from one end of the beach to the other. However, there were several different obstacles in the contestants ways, slowing them down. Naomi, now eliminated, did not have to participate and watched from the sidelines with Karma.

During the challenge, Faust struggled greatly, falling behind and bumping into obstacles. Frieda and Jinxie were neck and neck until eventually Frieda won immunity.

After the race, Karma announced that immune contestants could now vote.

### Before the Final Vote

One of the interesting things about Hell Week is that the eliminated contestant gets to stay with everybody else until the final elimination. Because of this, Naomi, despite being eliminated, was still able to talk and even strategize with the other contestants. One of the few conversations she had was with Travis, who felt lost on whether to vote for Iris, Bree, or Faust. He asked for her advice, to which she responded that he should vote with his gut, but also be aware of the slippery people.

Most of this time was spent with Faust and Frieda campaigning against Bree and Bree and Iris campaigning against Faust. They talked to several contestants, and many contestants felt conflicted on which move to make, especially Jinxie and Travis.

The main reasons given to vote for Faust were that he was untrustworthy and sneaky. After blindsiding Jinxie and Naomi, many contestants believed Faust was the new threat to the competition. Bree discussed with Jinxie and Travis that Faust would likely do the same to them if they kept him around, seeing them as jury threats. She believed that he was planning to take Iris to the finale, since she had a decent amount of rivals/enemies. One of the advantages mentioned was that even if the two eliminated Faust, they'd still have the majority, due to Frieda returning.

On the other hand,

### Final Vote

The contestants, and Naomi, headed back to the bonfire, where they would participate in a final elimination for the week. Karma also announces that this would be the last double elimination of the competition.

Strangely enough, Naomi went into the voting booth before any of the other contestants, hinting that she voted, despite being eliminated. This actually did cause a little bit of panic, specifically with Faust, who feared her vote might not only count, but be for him;
