"Last time on Total Drama Double Trouble..." Chris narrated, "With their plan to eliminate Katelyn done, Veronica, Kavan, Rhythm, and Dallas decided to target the German twins, and recruited Annie to secure a majority."

--------

It what was quickly becoming a common occurrence, the cameras turned their focus to the female's side of the losers' cabin, where Veronica, Rhythm, Dallas, and Annie gathered after the elimination ceremony. Together, they managed to orchestrate the elimination of what seemed to be the biggest threat to their games. But with Fedor's lack of anger or any sort of emotion at the elimination ceremony, they began to have second thoughts.

"Well...our plan worked, so that's good," Veronica remarked as she laid down in her bunk.

"Did we make the right move though?" Annie asked, a bit concerned.

"We got rid of Fedor because we thought that he'd be a pain in the a*s for us to deal with. But now that he's gone, nothing really changed. Now he seems like a guy who just wanted to get by and not make anyone mad."- Annie

"I mean, he didn't really do anything wrong," Annie noted, "And he definitely talked less."

"I was against voting for him, but whatever," Dallas commented, frustrated.

"This is why I need to be the one in control of this team. Yeah, Rhythm means well and Veronica is well-respected, but we need some assertion in this team. If I was allowed to make the call, Tory would be at Playa de Losers right now instead of Fedor. But Tory's still here, and I've got to start taking charge."- Dallas

"I guess Fedor might not have been so bad to keep," Veronica admitted.

"Cut the crap; we screwed up," Dallas interjected, "We need to stop thinking about past seasons and focus on right now."

"What do you suggest?" Veronica asked, intrigued as to where Dallas was headed.

"The four of us need to stick together for as long as possible," Dallas declared, "I get that Kavan is with us and all, but this group of four needs to stick together if we have any hope of making it far."

"And Tory is with us too," Annie added.

"Yeah, right," Dallas remarked quickly before continuing, "Look, Damien and Spencer are alone and probably sulking in the other room. If we want our team to gel, shouldn't we be taking out the loners instead of splitting up couples?"

"Now that's something that I can get behind," Veronica commented.

"I'm a bit conflicted right now. On one hand, Dallas is pitching an idea that keeps Kavan and I safe for a bit longer, which makes me feel a lot more comfortable. But I can't help but think that Dallas is trying to take over the team. I want to be the one making the decisions; this might be a problem..."- Veronica

"If this means that none of us lose our partners, I'm all for it," Annie admitted.

"Let's face it: we're stronger when we're in pairs," Dallas reminded, "Let's focus on taking out the two guys who have no connection to us: Damien & Spencer."

"Let's do it," Veronica agreed.

"I'm down," Annie added.

"It's for the best," Rhythm remarked, nodding.

"Knock, knock," Kavan verbalized as he stuck his head through the doorway, "Mind if I stay in here for a bit?"

"Sure, babe," Veronica allowed as Kavan entered the room.

"Thanks," Kavan thanked as he took a seat on Veronica's bunk, "Because it's not a pretty sight in the other room."

"Why?" Rhythm asked, "What's wrong?"

"Tory and Spencer are having a bit of a fight," Kavan revealed, "Spencer's a bit upset over tonight."

--------

Kavan seemed to undermine the severity of the conversation in the male's side of the losers' cabin. Spencer being a 'bit' upset was the equivalent of Daniel being a 'bit' smart or Amalia being a 'bit' rebellious. Having lost his one ally in the game, Spencer was very upset, and he made it known. Sure, Fedor wasn't the best ally to have, but he was Spencer's other half; his counterpart. Losing him left him without anyone to protect and help him in a time of need, and that frustrated him more than anything.

"Like, what did we do?" Spencer asked, "Tell me, what did we do?!"

"It wasn't you, man," Tory assured, "It was all Fedor."

"We all know what Fedor was capable of; even if he was actually being nice, there's no way in hell that he'd be able to keep that up all the way to the end. It was better for all of us to take him out now."- Tory

"Sure, Fedor isn't the nicest guy around, but when he messes up, he'll admit it. I don't see what him or I did to make them vote him off. Ugh!!!!!"- Spencer

"Why couldn't you guys just pull him aside and have a talk about it?" Spencer asked, confused, "I'm sure he would've been willing to listen."

"Get real! No one just 'sits down and talks' anymore!" Tory claimed, "You roll up your sleeves and get blood on your hands. Dude, we get that you're upset and all, but this was just a move that had to be made."

"I just don't see why people can get voted out for doing nothing wrong," Spencer explained, "What did Fedor do wrong?"

"Nothing, really," Tory answered honestly, "But he could've done much worse."

"But he didn't!" Spencer pointed out, "We needed to vote out someone who screwed up!"

"Look man, you're overreacting a bit," Tory insisted, trying to calm Spencer down, "I mean, you guys voted for me, and you don't see me yelling."

"I don't want to be a guy to completely rage when something bad happens; that makes me a big target. I'm pissed that Spencer and Fedor voted for me, but I'm not gonna let them find that out."- Tory

"Well you didn't just lose your best friend!" Spencer noted, visibly upset, "You aren't alone in this game!"

"Guys, can we just calm down?" Damien asked kindly, "What's done is done!"

"Exactly!" Tory agreed, "We still like you! We have no problem with you!"

"Well I have a problem with you!" Spencer declared as he walked up to Tory and stared at him, "You....just.....GAHHHH!"

With that, Spencer stormed out of the room in a fit of sadness. Both Tory and Damien were confused; they didn't know whether to follow him or let him be. They both genuinely wanted to get Spencer back on their side, but they also knew that he was clearly in a state of shock, and that talking to him might only make the situation worse.

"Any ideas?" Tory asked to Damien.

"My guess is as good as yours," Damien admitted, "I won't go after him if you won't."

"Maybe we should just let him cool off," Tory proposed.

"Sure," Damien agreed as he laid back into his bunk, "We'll talk to him tomorrow."

"Honestly, I don't feel that bad for Spencer. Yeah, it's cruel, but it's an eye for an eye; he voted out my girlfriend, I voted out his twin. Him and I are even, and we both have to face the situation. I have to deal with my girlfriend not being around, and he has to deal with having no close ally."- Damien

--------

With Tory & Damien's decision to back away from the argument, that left Spencer alone and frustrated. Right now, he was sitting on the steps of the Mess Hall, thinking over what he should do. He just lost his biggest ally, and those who he thought were on his side were against him. He felt lost, as if he was a puppy who just had their mother ripped from them.

"Dammit..." Spencer muttered with his head in between his knees, "What am I supposed to do?"

"I always thought that Fedor being here would hurt my game, but now it's as if I can't be here without him. I mean, he's the only one that I could talk to for strategy advice. It may not have been the best advice, but it would've been something! Now that he's gone, I honestly feel so...alone..."- Spencer

"Ugh.......what do I do?" Spencer asked to himself again, desperate for an answer.

If Spencer had any hope of getting back into the flow of the game, he had to make a new alliance, and he knew it. He thought about all of the remaining campers in the competition, trying to think about who he could approach for help. But it was difficult for him; no one on the other team could be of any real help, and everyone on his team seemed to be against him. At least, that's what it seemed until someone came walking up to him.

"Hey Spence," Annie greeted as she cautiously walked up to him, "What's wrong?"

"Huh?" Spencer questioned as he looked up from his lap, "Oh, hi Annie. I'm just....y'know....trying to get over the elimination ceremony."

"You're sad that Fedor's gone, right?" Annie assumed as she took a seat next to Spencer.

"Yeah..." Spencer admitted as he bent forward, trying to hide his face, "I just feel so....alone..."

"Personally, I don't like seeing people hurt. Outside of this game, I'd really take some time to talk to Spencer and let him know that he has people around that still want him here. But because we're in a game for a million dollars, I have to use this to my advantage."- Annie

"Spence, please don't feel that way. We're all here for you," Annie claimed, "Even though we're here for a million dollars, we don't want to slit each other's throats. Right?"

"I guess so..." Spencer agreed, still staring at his feet.

"I'll be honest; I was on board for getting rid of Fedor, but I don't have anything against you," Annie assured as she placed her arm around him, "Just because Fedor is gone doesn't mean that your game is over."

"I just don't want to feel like all the eyes are on me," Spencer admitted, "I feel like I'm a sitting duck."

"Just know that not everyone here has your best interests at the bottom of their priorities," Annie insisted, trying to cheer him up, "At the very least, I don't want to see you go."

"Well thanks," Spencer thanked, smiling, "That's nice to hear."

"I'm not surprised that Annie managed to cheer me up. Growing up, I always seemed to fit in better with girls than the guys. I mean, they just seemed to be more accepting than the guys. Maybe this is a sign that I should try talking with the girls more..."- Spencer

"I just hope that I'm not the next one out," Spencer expressed, concerned.

"Well, let's win the next challenge then," Annie suggested, causing both of them to laugh, "And maybe one of us will get to go to Boney Island."

--------

At this stage in the game, one could argue that going to Boney Island had no disadvantages. With many of the campers wanting to target weaker players, if you managed to find an advantage at Boney Island, you could probably keep it for a few episodes without feeling worried for your safety. Callie knew that well, and was set on looking for any advantage that she could find.

"Not....as bad as I thought..." Callie muttered as she trod through the dark forest.

"This place is nothing to be afraid of. Yeah, it's nearly pitch black, I've tripped seven times, and the wind & rain is making my whole body numb, but I've got to stay positive. I've got some time to find an advantage, and hopefully I will find one."- Callie

Blocking the negative thoughts out of her mind, Callie continued her search for an advantage. However, with this being her first time on the island, she hadn't yet mapped out the island's landscape. Within the span of a few hours, she managed to circle around the island three times. But to her, it just seemed futile to keep on searching when she clearly wasn't getting any closer to finding anything good.

"Ughhh....." Callie muttered as she crawled her way into her shack, "C-c-c-c-cold...."

"I want to stay positive, but it's really hard. Yeah, I'm not coming back here unless I absolutely have to. The cold, the chaos; it's just so much. I would......I'd rather shave my head than come back here. I don't need this; I'll let Daniel & Amalia come here from now on."- Callie

Unbeknownst to her, Callie received the same clue that Amalia got during her trip to Boney Island, which may have been a reason why Callie had such a hard time. Cold, exhausted, and defeated, Callie holed up in the fetal position and attempted to get some sleep. As much as she wanted to go and prove to the world that she was here to fight, her body had limitations of its own, and she was forced to wait out the remaining time until the morning.

--------

With the challenges happening almost every single day, getting rest was crucial in order to perform well. However, with the high-intensity nature of the game, taking one extra hour to rest could mean that you miss out on time to strategize. For Spencer, he had no time to waste; he was at the bottom of his team, and he was ready to start making big moves. And there was one person that he had in mind to help him.

"All I'm asking for is advice," Spencer insisted, "Y'know, being new isn't easy."

"One thing that you should keep in mind is to think positive," Daniel suggested as him and Spencer sat outside the Mess Hall, "I know it's cheesy, but it really does help."

"Before Fedor left, he told me that Daniel was willing to help him out; hopefully Daniel can do the same for me. I know that he has power, so if he's willing to use some of it to get me in a better position, this could be the start of a new alliance."- Spencer

"And this is how little moves can blossom into big rewards. With Fedor gone, Spencer is alone and ready to start talking. He could use an ally, and I could use an extra vote. I've just got to make sure that he can last a little while longer."- Daniel

"If you believe that you can win, your mind will work harder to think of ways to get you to the end," Daniel explained.

"Then answer this: how do I get to the end when everyone on my team wants me out?" Spencer asked.

"I'll answer that question with a question," Daniel prefaced, "How can you be so sure that everyone on your team wants you out?"

"Well, everyone voted for Fedor and I," Spencer noted.

"But they targeted Fedor; no one hates you," Daniel claimed, "At least, as far as I know."

"How do I make my team like me more?" Spencer clarified, "That's probably a better question."

"Ideally, you need to show your team that you're worth keeping around," Daniel explained, "Try stepping up in the challenge. You might surprise a couple of people."

"Alright, I'll think about it," Spencer agreed, "Thanks."

"No problem," Daniel answered.

"Attention campers!" Chris called out from the loudspeakers, "It's time for your next challenge! Please make your way over to the beach!"

"Well, hopefully it's something that I'm good at," Spencer remarked as he got up and ran to the beach, with Daniel following behind him.

--------

The campers reached the beach within a couple minutes, where they were met with an intriguing sight. Standing before them was a medium-sized stage, roughly 10ft X 2ft and ten feet in height, with red curtains draped down from the top of it. About ten feet from the stage were two levers, the function of which were unknown. And standing twenty feet behind the levers were two long tables, each with a box of miscellaneous items. With all the different elements, no one had a clue for what the challenge would be.

"Good morning, campers. And before we do anything else, let's welcome Callie back from Boney Island," Chris declared as Chef Hatchet drove in on a boat, allowing Callie to jump off and join her team, "Welcome back, Callie."

"Thank you, Chris," Callie thanked, curtsying, "And before you ask, Boney Island was dark and cold."

"Alright, fine," Chris remarked, "Anyways, it's time to start the next challenge: Memory Run."

"It's pretty clear that these campers aren't getting any dumber; they're a LOT smarter than the campers from ten years ago. Now I can finally use some challenges that require brains to succeed. Hopefully they give the fans a good show."- Chris

"This challenge will be done in rounds. Each round, one camper from each team will go and stand by one of the levers. Chef will raise the curtains, revealing several different objects in a row that you must memorize. Once you think that you've memorized the order, you pull the lever to drop the curtain, run back to your table, take the correct objects out of your box, and place them in the correct order on the table. Once you think that you have the right order, shout 'Done!', and I'll check your answer. The first person to get their order correct scores a point for their team," Chris explained, "The first team to win five rounds will win immunity. Any questions?"

"Um...can we just send the same person each round?" Zeyad asked.

"No....that's too easy," Chris answered, "You must send a different person each round. There will be eight rounds, and each team has eight campers, so you get the point."

"What if each team wins four rounds?" Karlie asked, "Then can we send whoever we want?"

"If both teams win four rounds, there will be one more 'sudden death' round," Chris explained, "Each team picks a camper from their team to compete. Whoever wins the round wins the challenge for their team."

"This challenge is perfect for me. I mean, I don't have an eidetic memory, but I'm pretty close otherwise. Hopefully four others on my team can win rounds as well."- Daniel

"My memory is sh*t. I can't even remember what I ate for lunch yesterday. Hopefully my team wins the challenge before I get to compete."- Dallas

"I don't want to lose the challenge for my team again. I need to step up and prove to everyone that I am the same Tory that pulled his weight in challenges."- Tory

"I'll give you a few minutes to strategize before we begin," Chris declared before turning to face the main camera, "Whose memory will prove to be the strongest? And who will end up wanting to forget that this challenge even happened? Find out after the break, right here, on Total...Drama...Double Trouble!"
