Disclaimer: I think you know where I'm going with this. I do not own anything related to Total Drama Island. The characters, fictional locations and everything else within the show is the exclusive property of Fresh TV, TeleToon and the brainchild of Jennifer Pertsch and Tom MacGillis. I only own one character and he is Von. Now then, onto the chapter.

Chris: Last time on Total Drama Island, the Screaming Gophers kicked butt in the Awake-a-thon, when Duncan took a snooze on the toilet and the Bass took their second L in a row. Ouch. We also witnessed another first in Total Drama History, as Heather orchestrated the first alliance in the show's history by convincing Beth and Lindsay to join her in a effort to make it to the final three. Heather also decided to take one of the Bass's strongest members in Eva, out by pickpocketing her phone and watching the fireworks take off. Savage, but nicely played Heather, nicely played. In the end after wrongfully accusing her teammates of stealing her property, it was Eva who'd get the boot next despite the fact she could pretty much obliterate anyone here... Duncan included, heh. Who will be next to join Eva and Ezekiel on the Boat of Losers? Who will be the first to break the rules of their newly minted alliance? And are flames starting to stoke between Goth Girl Gwen, Musical Genius Trent, Surfer Savant Bridgette and Shining Star De'Von? Speaking of Gwen, will the Savior of the Screaming Gophers be able to stay awake until the end of the episode? Stay tuned for the most dramatic campfire ceremony right now, here on... Total Drama Island!

[Intro and Theme Song]

We open with some of the Screaming Gophers, Heather and Owen in particular laughing at the Killer Bass snore. It was clearly not a good night for them and Chris decided to poke the biggest bear there with Eva officially now eliminated.

Chris: Duncan. You look like crap, dude.

Duncan: Stuff it, McLean.

Courtney: Harold snored all night.

Von: And before you ask, yes when Courtney means all night... she means ALL NIGHT. Most of us could barely put 30 minutes of consistent sleep together before he started up again.

Chris laughed.

Chris: Wow... four nights without any sleep? How much are you guys really hurting, dude?

Duncan: Wanna find out?!

Chris: No, no. It's cool, it's cool.

Speak of the literal devil and the Bass's bane of existence at the moment, the door creaked open and in walked Harold. Everyone gasped as he mysteriously had grown a mustache overnight and to him while he didn't notice said facial hair on him, he still walked in the mess hall thinking he was the shiz with the female campers wanting to get a piece of him, the male campers looking all jealous, in his mind of course. In reality however, The Gophers were snickering at him and his exhausted teammates just flat out laughed at him.

Harold: Okay, what?!

Von (Snickering): Someone messed with your face, Harold... a mighty fine improvement though, I'll say!

Katie handed her red-headed teammate a mirror as everyone continued laughing their asses off.

Harold: Hey, sweet 'stache.

Soon after Harold entered, the reigning holder of the invincibility status, that being Gwen entered, still exhausted after enduring such an awful, mentally challenging race of fortitude.

Chris: Hey-hey, don't look now Gophers, but here comes Gwen!

The Gophers cheered loudly for their savior of the last challenge as the Goth came through, putting her head on the table with a *thwack*.

Lindsay: Yayyy! Wait, why are we cheering again?

Gwen: Ugh, I can't feel my face. Just tired.

[STATIC]

Courtney (Confessional): We are so sucking right now. Okay, yes we voted off Psycho-Eva, but at least she at least she was an athletic psycho. We have Tyler but he's majorly clumsy, and with Von he's an athlete through and through but does he have the same killer instinct that Eva had? We'll just have to hope.

[STATIC]

Von (Confessional): I have mixed feelings about tossing off Eva off the team. Was she competitive and tough as nails? Hell yeah. Could we have done without her temper tantrums and constant threatening of pummeling us? Absolutely. I wasn't scared of her one bit but let's be real her competitive spirit would definitely be nice right about now. It's up to me to carry that mantle, which I've got no problem with. Gophers... my squad and I are on y'all heads starting now.

[STATIC]

Heather: So, let's go over the rules of this alliance once more. Number one, since I'm the captain of this whole thing, I make all the rules. Number two-

Lindsay: Breaking the rules can result in possibly getting booted from the alliance?

Heather: Nicely put Lindsay; Number three, I can use or borrow any of your guys' belongings without asking but my stuff is expressly forbidden.

Lindsay: Yeah, I don't know about this last one...

Heather: Hey you can speak your mind that's fine by me... I can change it, no problem. I can also find someone else to take Beth and I to the final three with. Any objections? No? Very cool. Now let's have a little fun. Hey, Fish Heads, nice work kicking out your strongest player! Why not just give up now?

Heather began laughing, barely avoiding some gruel that had been launched towards her face by way by De'Von who wasn't trying to hear it from the self absorbed beauty.

Heather: Hah. Missed me!

Von: Yeah blame my fatigue for not getting gruel in your precious hair there Chief... I'll make sure not to miss just for you.

Chris: Okay, campers. Listen up! Your next challenge begins in twenty minutes! And be prepared to bring it kiddies!

We now cut to both teams inside of a mini gym made of all glass with two sets of bleachers, a lifeguard chair and a mini court but without any basketball hoops. We also see Duncan talking to his team as he laid on the bench.

Duncan: Wake me up, and I'll personally pay for all your funerals. Clear?

Tyler: Crystal..

Courtney rounds on Harold.

Courtney: This is all your fault, you know! You and your snoring!

Harold: It's called a medical condition... gosh!

Then, Chris blew a whistle signaling all the campers to come around him.

Chris: Alright, today's challenge is the classic, entertaining game of dodgeball. The first rule of dodgeball....

Noah: Don't talk about dodgeball?

Owen laughs.

Chris: No that's Fight Club, Noah. As I was saying, if you get hit with the ball-

He demonstrates the rules of the game by throwing the ball which hits Courtney square in her abdomen.

Courtney: Oof! Oww!

Chris: -You're out.

Courtney: You can't do that!

Chris: I'm the host, I'm pretty sure I can do whatever I want. Now if you catch the ball like Courtney just did a few seconds ago, then the thrower gets sent out and the catcher can bring in another member of their team onto the court.

Noah: Throwing balls... Gee, another mentally challenging test.

Lindsay: I know, right?

Chris: Alright, now Von; try to hit me if you will.

De'Von looked at Chris with an eyebrow raised as he looked at all the other campers.

Von: You do realize I'm a quarterback, shortstop among other things? I have a legit cannon of an arm... But if you say so Chris.

Von took the ball Courtney gave him and threw it at Chris, which he deflected. Von wasn't aiming to hurt the host but let's be real if he wanted to... McLean would probably have broken ribs.

Chris: Now if you're holding a ball, you can use said ball to deflect a ball thrown in your direction. However, if said ball knocks your ball out... then you're out.

Lindsay: So what do I do again when the balls come at me?

Chris: You dodge!

Chris throws a ball at her, but unfortunately Lindsay was too slow to dodge and the ball slapped her clean in the face, thus leading most of the campers gasping at the carnage which had been displayed.

Chris: Ooh! You were supposed to dodge, Lindsay!

Lindsay (Groaning): Right...

Chris: Alright teams, you've got one minute till game time... Gophers, you'll have to sit a person out each game.

Cut towards the Screaming Gophers sideline.

Heather: Okay, we can't be lazy today. The Killer Bass are going to not only be trying hard but they're also going to be super desperate just to catch up-

Gwen yawned.

Heather: So who's going to sit the first one out with Sleeping Beauty over here?

Gwen: Buzz off.

Noah: Oh, all right. I'll volunteer. Now let's see all of you keeners get out there and dodge!

Cut to the Killer Bass's sideline.

Von: Alright, a game like this we need not only speed but also athleticism and accuracy; but we also need strategy. That being said, unless I'm seriously hurt, I'll be apart of all games but Courtney we'll need your strategic expertise for this first game.

Courtney: Alright, Von since this is a physical based challenge, I'll let you take the reins on this. Who goes in with you?

Von: Actually I'll sit this one out... I need to see where the team as a whole is at physically, the 20k run was just a sample size. So it'll be-

[GAME 1]

Soon the teams were formed up with the Gophers being repped by LeShawna, Cody, Lindsay, Heather and Owen. The Bass were represented by Courtney, DJ, Harold, Tyler and Katie, with Von, Bridgette, Sadie and sleeping Duncan playing as alternates. Heather thought it best to continue taunting the Bass.

Heather: Bring it on, Fishies. Otherwise, three wins in a row just won't be as satisfying.

Tyler: Oh you're going down! We're gonna bring the dinner to table, and then we're gonna eat it!

Von: Love the enthusiasm Ty... But let's wait until we leading 1-0 or we have absolute victory!

Chef blew his whistle and the benches, sans Gwen and Duncan due to them being sleep for the most part, got to cheering. Tyler and Courtney picked a few balls up for the Bass with Cody, Heather and Owen picking the remaining dodgeballs for the Gophers. Tyler avoided the ball thrown his way by Cody and he took this as an immediate threat... which meant he took that personally. Tyler spun like a tornado with his ball before throwing his ball.... into the unexpecting face of his sitting teammate Sadie.

Von: You good, Sadie?

Sadie groaned, signaling she was at least conscious.

Chris: That'll smear her makeup.

Courtney was less than enthusiastic by the display of unintentional friendly fire.

Courtney: Nice job.... Now let's see if you can hit someone on their team!

However, Tyler wouldn't get the chance of redemption as Owen with all of his girth and limited stamina, came in like a speeding locomotive and sent his dodgeball careening into Tyler and right into the glass. As he slid down, you could see a small yet visible crack starting to form on the Bass side.

Tyler: Ow! Darn it!

Chef's whistle blow signaling an elimination had occurred, thus causing cheering on the Gopher bench.

Izzy: Whoo, yeah!

Whistle blows again.

Harold: Finally, time to unleash my wicked skills!

LeShawna: Yeah? Then stop your yapping and bring it, string bean! Let's see what you got!

An overture of Chinese music plays as we get a look at the intense game faces LeShawna and Harold put on. They both were waiting for the other to bust a move, when Harold swung first in a sense, grunting and throwing his ball at his LeShawna but it didn't hit her. In fact it just dropped to her feet. She picked up before putting on a scheming look. Harold gulped.

Harold: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

His girly scream was drowned out by him getting drilled by the dodgeball he had previous possession of as he slid towards the glass face first.

Whistle blows again with a elimination ding.

LeShawna: And that's how we roll!

She walked back over to her team earning a high-five from Owen. However, the Bass true to Heather's word came out desperate and swinging now with two members. As they were about to find out.

Lindsay: Wait, so can someone remind me what I'm supposed to do again?

Oh, Lindsay got reminded all right when she took another zinger right to the face, courtesy of Katie, thus giving the Bass their first elimination of the opponent. DJ and Courtney cheered and woofed it up for her as for some inexplicable reason, a ball went screaming towards Tyler and it hit him.... in the unmentionables. The culprit... I think we all knew who it was.

Tyler (in falsetto): Mommy?

Von: Aye come on Boss! That shit was uncalled for!

Courtney: What the heck was that? Ref, Tyler isn't even on the court!

Chef gave Heather a suspicious glare as she played innocent.

Heather: Oopsies, it slipped!

Courtney: Ugh!

Courtney, wanting to get that unnecessary lick on Tyler back, chucked a ball which made a beeline for Heather's face.... which got caught by Owen. Another ding occurred, resulting in Courtney being eliminated. Gwen now came in for the Gophers and it had been immediately eliminated when DJ threw a ball actually been intended for Owen.

DJ: Ooh! Sorry!

Gwen: Don't worry... it's cool, trust me.

It had now come down to LeShawna and Cody for the Gophers and Katie and DJ. LeShawna had fought a good fight but it was Katie who struck the knockout blow on her, leaving Cody to fend for himself. Katie and DJ looked at him like a couple of hungry lions staring down an unsuspecting gazelle.

Von: Nice work guys, finish that sucker off.

Courtney: Easy out, easy out guys.

Katie was the first to throw her ball and Cody dodged it. He used a scientific approach in this situation as he rubbed the ball against his sweater making his ball static.

Chris: Oh, that is gonna be one tough ball to dodge.

Once it reached full static-charge, he chucked it right at Katie and despite her best efforts she wound up getting cracked right in her spine and the ball also tagged DJ right on his muscular thigh thus giving the Gophers the first victory of Dodgebrawl.

(Gophers win Game 1; Cody wins it by last eliminating DJ. Gophers lead series 1-0)

Cut to Killer Bass sideline where Von had a clipboard... where he got one though, he'll never tell. He was going over the summary of the first game with the rest of the team.

Von: Okay, so game one wasn't a massacre like I originally thought.

Harold: Come on Von, we can do this... we just have to believe in ourselves!

Courtney: Oh I believe... I believe you suck green eggs and ham!

Tyler: Yeah, no offense H-Man but you throw like a girl.

Von didn't want to laugh, but he hid his face and snickered. He had seen some bad throws playing sports whether competitive or just recreational but Harold's attempt of knocking LeShawna was possibly the worst and most pitiful use of arm exertion he had ever seen. Meanwhile, Courtney rounded on Tyler.

Courtney: You're one to talk. At least he tried throwing to eliminate a Gopher! You legit took one of your own teammates out... and she wasn't even in the first set!

Tyler: It was just a warm up throw. Look, I can dominate this game, just give me the balls.

Bridgette: Hold on, Von still hasn't let us know what we need to do.

DJ: Yeah, so Coach V... what'd you think?

Von: Honestly... Harold, you're kinda trash, now I say that because I want to light a fire under you. Tyler... you got a cannon, but man aim for the other squad. Other than that, it wasn't a bad effort by any stretch. I'll go in second game. Bridge, Tyler, Sadie and Katie, you're with me. Tyler, as a show of good faith, I can't promise you getting all the dodgeballs but you'll give plenty of smoke out. Let's roll out. Hands in y'all.

Everyone on the Killer Bass put their hands in.

Von: All right, Bass on three. One, Two, Three.

Everyone: BASS!

Gophers' sideline..

Heather: All right Noah, you're in.

Noah: You know, you guys did such an awesome job on the last game, that I don't want to mess up your mojo.

Whistle blows. Beth opted to go in for Noah and Heather nodded.

Heather: Fine. Let's go, guys!

[Game 2; Gophers lead 1-0]

The Gophers were rolling out with the team of Izzy, Lindsay, Trent, Owen and Beth whereas the Bass were repped by Bridgette, Katie, Sadie, Tyler and De'Von. After some whining from Tyler, Von finally relented and gave the dodgeballs their team had acquired to him, if for anything to shut his fellow athlete up. The Gophers were initially confused and somewhat concerned, but much like the first game, Tyler and dodgeballs didn't mix at all. One went sailing into Ref Hatchet and one sailed dangerously close and over Chris's head.

Chris: Hey! Watch my face, dude!

One of the balls went screaming into the Bass's bench with everyone barely avoiding it and miraculously, one of the Tyler's "Twister Balls" hit a Gopher... however this Gopher turned out to be Lindsay which while it counted as a elimination, he was horrified.

Tyler: NOOOO!

Courtney: Finally!

Lindsay groans as her face began swelling for the third time. She woke up to see Tyler checking on her as she came to.

Lindsay: Um.. Tyler? Oh my God, my face. How's my face?!

Tyler: It's really.. not that horrible. I mean you still look great.

Lindsay: Really?

Tyler: Yeah! Really.

The elimination bell sounds again as the Bass member helped up the Gopher member.

Tyler: You wanna, I don't know... go for a walk?

Lindsay (in her mind): Have to say no, have to say no, have to say no. Okay!

The two then walked off as Heather saw the blooming romance which she had expressly forbade Lindsay from having, and she looked like she was ready to blow a gasket.

Heather: Hey! Hey get back here, Lindsay! You are this close to getting booted from the alliance!

Von: Damn, Heather where was big girl shiz you were just talking?!

He laughed as Owen began ramping the competitive spirit up.

Owen: Great Gatsby, that is it! Game on, Bass!

Unbecoming of the big guy, Owen demanded dodgeballs and subsequently knocking out each team member starting with Katie and Sadie. He then proceeded to aim squarely for Bridgette and letting off a heat-seeking red missile, Von got in front of it and tried catching it. However the speed and momentum, plus accounting for Owen's massive frame which undoubtedly added more power to the throw, wound up catching him flush on the arm, traveling straight to Von's jawline and knocking the teenager back a good several feet. He fell with a mighty thud on the court back first, arm all jacked up.

Bridgette: De'Von!

She and the other Bass teammates rushed over to him as they looked him and even some of the Gophers had a concerned look etched on their faces. Chris looked at the developing scene but decided to focus more on the hit that did the deed.

Chris: Owww! Now that one's worth an instant replay folks. [VCR noises] Forward. Okay, rewind. Forward. Rewind. Forward. Rewind, forward. (laughing) Rewind. And pause. Man! That's gonna leave a mark.

LeShawna: Ooh! Big Boy dropped it like it was hot.

Meanwhile, Von was holding his arm in pain as a welt on his jaw began forming on his face.

Von: Motherf- That hurts something fierce! AHHH!

Courtney put a hand over his mouth, reminding him that Duncan was still sleeping. After a delay, Chris ruled the game point in favor of the Gophers.

Courtney: I know you're hurting, but imagine what Duncan would probably do to you if you woke him up with your bellyaching!

Bridgette: Von... are you okay?

Von: I think so... thankfully, I don't think Owen's death ball broke any bones, but I do have a few extra welts that're going to show for it. Sorry I cost us that game point.

Courtney: Don't worry about that... we can still win. Let's just hope your arm holds up.

Von: I'm still breathing ain't I? All Owen really did... was just make me really mad.

He said that last part with venom dripping in his voice. The cameras now cut to a celebratory Screaming Gophers sideline. They rally around Owen as he turns back to his cheery self.

Owen (after laughing): I don't know what got into me.

Heather: I'm glad someone is trying today.

Noah noticed that someone Heather was alluding to him as he put his book down.

Noah: Oh, sorry. Woohoo! Way to throw those murder balls! Go, team, go!

Heather simply waved her hand. She decided to poke the bear once more in the Killer Bass, but this time after nearly having both his arm and jaw broke, Von was about to chew her head off.

Heather: [To Noah; Sarcastically] Nice team spirit. [To the Killer Bass] Hey! You're down 2-Nothing! How does it feel to suck so horribly?!

Harold: Not so good.

Von: You know what Heather, say another thing and I'll personally introduce to the Duke of Dodgeball! Owen is already on my hit list but I'm making you the alpha priority!

He made his way, seemingly to introduce Heather to a whole new world of pain, but before he could cross half court, he saw his whole team desperately pulling him back. Courtney looked at the scene of boiling tension and face-palmed.

Courtney: It's not over yet! [In her head] It's so over....

After the tension had calmed down between Heather and Von, cameras cut and rolled on the Bass sideline. Von had gotten the upper part of his right arm taped up and he was putting an ice pack on his steadily swelling injuries. Much like the hot-tub challenge, they were essentially tuned out and demoralized when Courtney spoke up.

Courtney: Okay. This is really bad. One more game and we're right back at the campfire ceremony, voting someone off! Again! We can't let that happen people. We need someone strong, someone mean. Someone who's willing to crush those stupid Gophers in the dirt!

They all looked at the sleeping Duncan and DJ reminded them the threat he warranted them.

DJ: No way, if we wake him up, he'll kill us. Remember?

Von: Cap... he won't kill us.

Courtney: Exactly. He wants to win as much as we do.

Harold: Courtney's right. We need Duncan's fierceness to win this whole thing.

Courtney: That's the spirit, Harold! Now go wake him up.

Harold: What?! Why me?

Courtney: Because other than Tyler, you're the worst dodgeball player we've got here. And if he does actually kill you, you're the one we can afford to lose.

Von: Not to mention, you're the reason he's sleeping.

Harold: No way, I'm not doing it!

Courtney: Well, who wants to risk their life?

They all whistle innocently as Bridgette then spoke up.

Bridgette: I've got a plan... just follow my lead.

Cut to the Bass using a stick and carefully poking Duncan... in his behind.

Courtney: We have to go higher!

They proceeded to get a little higher, reaching towards Duncan's nose and this.... this was enough to get the Bad Boy awake, and very angry. He grabbed the stick from the Bass and broke it over his knee, getting in Harold's face.

Duncan: You guys better have a really good reason for sticking this up my nose!

Courtney separated the two as she talked to him.

Courtney: Look we're down two-zero and Von has a pretty banged up arm protecting Bridgette during the last match. I can appreciate you wanting some sleepy time after the Awake-a-Thon. But we need your help.

Duncan: Oh, and pray tell why should I help you, princess?

Courtney: Because I can personally guarantee that if we lose game three, you'll be the next one gone. Darling.

Duncan: Fine you drive a hard bargain. Von, can you still throw?

Von: You kidding me? Like I said, so long as I draw breath, Victory Von can deal out smoke and L's.

Duncan: Good. Now I'll play but on one condition. You all do what I say, when I say it. Okay here's something I've personally dealt with in juvie. It's called "Rush the New Guy".

Cut to Duncan's strategy of them Rushing the New Guy. It was a rather simple plan. The Gophers were repped again with their same lineup only this time Justin had subbed out Trent and Izzy subbed out the missing Lindsay. The Bass went out with Courtney, Duncan, DJ, Katie and the hobbled Von, who looked ready to kill after nearly having his arm broke. The whistle blew with LeShawna and Justin throwing the balls at the refreshed Duncan. He dodged both of them easily, with Katie in the back funneling both of the spheres to Duncan and Courtney and along with Von and DJ, fired back at the opps with all four balls cleaning Owen's clock. An elimination ding was heard and the Bass got to cheering. The process continued as the Bass loaded up and began eliminating the Gopher team in short order. LeShawna being first, Izzy going next, Beth experiencing newfound to her braces and finally, Justin would be next and he was sorely mistaken if he thought his face was safe. The Killer Bass were finally on the board.

Noah: Come on, a little effort out there people!

His teammates gave him a look as he went right back to his book.

The Bass cheered as the victory bell went off.

[Killer Bass win Game 3; Gophers lead 2-1]

Courtney: I think we should do the same thing all over again. So Harold, sit this round out, too.

Harold: But I sat the last one out.

Courtney: It's for the good of the team.

He looked down despondent, as Von patted him on the back.

Heather: Okay, not that Noah here absolutely cares about what just happened, but we can't and won't lose another game to these guys, got it? And where is Lindsay?!

Cameras then cut to Heather walking on the Dock of Shame, still trying to find Lindsay, and she did but in the most alliance-violating ways she thought in her mind.

Lindsay: Tyler.....

Heather: Lindsay! This is so against alliance rules!

Lindsay: I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!

Tyler: Hey, why don't you just chill out for a second?

Heather: Yeah? Why don't you try dodging this?!

Using all of her strength, Heather picked up a canoe as she slammed it down on Tyler.

Tyler: OW!

We cut back to the gym where an irate Heather had dragged Lindsay back to the bench.

Heather: You, sit down and stay right there!

Lindsay (Demoralized): Okay.

Heather turned to the other players as she tried catching up.

Heather: How are we doing?

Beth getting pounded by four dodgeballs answered her previously asked question. Then Noah with his ever insightful sarcasm came into play.

Noah: Sports. Not my expertise, remember?

Heather: You know, you could actually go out there, give it a shot and pretend to have fun or care.

It was at this point that LeShawna got violated in the same manner Beth had and Chef's whistle blew again thus now signaling the Bass had now evened the series at 2-2 as it was now revealed Heather had left in the middle of Game 4.

Heather: This is, this is so unacceptable!

It was at this moment that Tyler had returned, somehow not seriously injured from taking a canoe straight to the dome. Courtney noticing, decided to grill him.

Courtney: Where were you?

Tyler: Nowhere!

Courtney: You were with that blonde Gopher chick, weren't you?

Tyler: No, maybe! So? What's it to you?

Courtney: So she could've been getting close to you so you could spill all of our weaknesses to her!

Cut to the two teams.

Chris: Alright, this is it! Tie-breaking game!

Duncan: Okay, who's going in?

Harold: I think it's my turn.

Courtney: No way. We actually have a chance to win this!

Chris: Gophers, Bass! Let's send this sample to the lab, and let's see what you're made of!

Chef blew his whistle as the teams scrambled to their pre-planned formations. Gwen kicked a ball up as she tossed it at Cody before the latter retreated as Heather barked orders out.

Heather: Come on, people! Quick feet, fast hands!

Balls were thrown, bodies got to dodging. DJ threw a ball Heather's way but as she dodged, Owen came through launching a dodgeball of his own. The action was frenetic and fast paced as both Cody and Bridgette both fell for their respective teams. A quick montage was shown as both teams cycled through their players with some even getting hit and dodging.

Noah: Knock 'em out, throw 'em out! Ra, ra... Ow!

A ball drilled Noah as the Gophers on the bench smirked.

Heather: You're right, sports aren't your forte;

Continue montage. Sadie comes in for a knocked out Tyler, only for her to get knocked a split second later. Bridgette was next out as Tyler came in once more. Balls were traded back and forth between the teams. After waiting for a few more minutes, Harold got tapped on his shoulder. He looked up to see Von motioning for him to get some burn on the hardwood as he handed the geek a ball. Duncan was less than happy about this.

Duncan: Back of the court, Princess.

Harold, shoulders sagged indeed walked to the back as Gwen fired a ball at the face of Courtney.

[Thud]

Gwen: That was for the oatmeal.

LeShawna (Laughing): You messed with the wrong white girl!

Von ducks one ball before taking one to the opposite side of his already swollen jaw. LeShawna got belted with one, Duncan took at least four dodgeballs, three to the face and one more as he fell to ground. In one of the more comedic moments of the challenge, a ball meant at least for the abdomen of Gwen wound up hitting Cody in his little Cody. In slow motion no less. Gwen and DJ wound up throwing their balls at the same time with both knocking each other at the same time. As Von and Tyler carried their unconscious teammate back to the sideline, it had now come down to Harold and Owen, the latter already sporting a demonic gaze with a dodgeball in hand. Each had four balls on their respective side, as the Gophers cheered on their big man, while the Bass all had horrified looks on their faces. Their guy was on the precipice of getting destroyed.

Von: Shiz, shiz, Harold a dead man... straight up!

Owen: Sorry dude, but I gotta put you down.

Duncan: Yeah I don't like the nerd's chances. Goodnight, Harold.

Harold gulped, but put on his best game face before striking a fighting pose, egging Owen to bring it. And Owen brought it alright, throwing two balls right at him but Harold surprisingly dodged both of them. Owen threw another... same result. This time, the big guy with all his strength, zinged another ball on Harold's bumpers but once again Harold dodged, busting out a Matrix-like move.

Noah: Whoa..

Courtney: Time out! Time out!

Chef blew his whistle thus granting Harold a reprieve from Owen's onslaught. The Bass huddled around their teammate with Von offering him a towel and Tyler putting out stool as well as a metal bucket and Bridgette handing him a water.

Duncan: Man, you've got dodge for days! Where'd you learn to do that?!

Harold gargled before spitting in the bucket as he answered Duncan.

Harold: Figure-skating.

Von: Hell nah, I just gained a whole new level of respect for the ice skaters! That was some hot fire Harold, but dodging isn't nearly enough to take Owen down.

Courtney: He's right. To win this, you either need to throw Owen out...

Duncan: Which we know you can't do.

Courtney: Or catch his next laser. Can you do it?

Harold: Definitely, I won't let you guys down!

DJ: Awesome!

Harold spits out the remaining bit of his water, hitting not only the bucket but Tyler in the process.

Von: So what're we sitting around here for y'all? Hands in guys... Harold, take that food loving mother-sucker, DOWN! Bass on three. ONE, TWO, THREE-

All of the Bass (Yes even Duncan): KILLER BASS!

Cameras cut once again to Owen and Harold, fully charged and renewed but this team the redhead had the moral support of his team. The Gophers cheered loudly for Owen as he certainly was the MVP of their side. Western music began playing in the background as both boys locked eyes with one another, Harold more or less had fear but, Owen was all in for the kill.

Killer Bass: Harold. Harold. Harold. Harold. Harold!

Owen: Cowa... BUNGA!!!

He let the ball go with all of his fury and might as it collided with Harold at breakneck speed. He caught it but collided with the glass with a vicious *CLANG*, before Harold slid down to the ground clutching his ribs. Owen looked pretty damn sure he delivered the killer blow. Duncan gasped. Courtney and Bridgette held each other while Von stood up trying to see if mans caught the ball. And surely enough, Harold raised his right arm dodgeball in hand. The Bass rushed their side of the court as if this were March Madness

[whistle blows, elimination ding; The Killer Bass win Dodgebrawl 3-2 by way of Harold eliminating Owen by capture.]

Chris: And the Killer Bass come from behind to snatch victory back from the Jaws of the Defeat! The Bass win!

The Bass cheered loud and proud as they picked up Harold and rushed out of the gym, as some of the members of the Screaming Gophers tried to cheer up Owen.

Owen: It's impossible! ......WHYYYYYYYYYY!

Duncan: Nice dodge, skater nerd!

Chris: Gophers, what happened out there?

Noah: What can I say, weak effort today.

Most of them wanted to tell the bookworm off, but Gwen was first to beat them there.

Gwen: Oh stuff it Noah, I'm glad De'Von actually drilled you with that ball.

The still tired Gwen stalked off as Heather looked at him.

Heather: You know, for once I agree with Funeral Lover.

The majority of Team Gopher broke off from Noah, leaving Trent, Justin and a now somewhat calmed down Owen with each other.

Noah: Touchy... What? I'll tell you, the team spirit is severely lacking out here.

[STATIC]

Harold (Confessional): I guess I'm kind of a role model now that I won the dodgeball competition. People are gonna probably want my autograph once this whole show is over and stuff.

[STATIC]

Campfire Ceremony.

[Dramatic music]

Chris: Campers, you've all placed your votes and made your final decision. One of you sore losers will be heading to the Dock of Shame, board the Boat of Losers. And you can never come back... EVER. When you hear me call out your name, come up here and claim your marshmallow. Owen, Gwen, Cody, Trent, Heather, Beth, Justin and LeShawna and.. Izzy. The final marshmallow of the night goes to.... Lindsay.

Lindsay cheered as she ran up to claim it, satisfied she wasn't the one going home.

Noah, who initially looked confident as all hell, now stood with his mouth agape as Lindsay did exactly this.

Noah: What, are you kidding me?! All right, fine see if I care! Good luck moving forward because you just voted out the only person on this team that has any brains on it! Ow!

LeShawna had enough of his sore loser bit and threw some rocks at him as Heather, Beth, Gwen and Owen all laugh and cheer.

LeShawna: You need to learn a little thing called RESPECT, turkey!

Noah: Whatever, I'm outta here!

Chris: Well that wasn't the most dramatic ceremony ever! But on the flipside, I still get paid. Haha. Sweet.

Cameras cut to Von hanging outside the Bass cabin as Bridgette sat next to him.

Bridgette: How's the arm?

Von: Better now that you're here... Oh, I thought you were talking about me.. No, but in all seriousness I actually think I overplayed the hit more than I should've. The impact was more painful than the actual aftermath.

Bridgette: I just wanted to say... thanks. For you know, being a Knight in Shining Armor.

Von: I know you don't need one but I couldn't let the big guy take you out like that. Thing is, I actually don't regret doing it all.

She gave a suspected look towards Von's direction but then laughed it off. She held his hand as she smiled before getting up to leave.

Bridgette: Well that's all I really wanted to say. And make sure you don't sleep on that arm, okay? See you in the morning Von.

She left as Von said something but she didn't hear it because she was out of earshot.

Von: Right... and see you later, love.

[STATIC]

Von (Confessional): I've never been one of those people that actually believes in true love.... but Bridgette, she definitely is making me feel some type of way. It wasn't just me putting my arm on the line to make sure stayed in the game for as long as she could. Momma Bear always told me to never chase anyone unless they really mean something to you. Well... I guess Bridge kinda means something to this guy, but I don't know yet... I need to get out of my own head.
