Within a couple of minutes, all fifteen campers were present and ready for the elimination ceremony to begin. After losing a challenge that resulted in a blindside, the Multiple Mole-Rats were back in the Immunity Bleachers and were ready to watch the next elimination unfold. For the Observant Owls, they each had an idea of what they wanted to do, but what was about to happen next would definitely change their minds.

"Alrighty then, Observant Owls, it's time for you to vote someone out again," Chris declared, "You know how this works: you'll go into the Confession Can, x-out the photo of the person that you want to vote for, I'll tally and check the votes, and then I'll hand out marshmallows to those who are safe. Whoever doesn't receive a marshmallow must walk down the Dock of Shame and leave the island on the Jet Ski of Losers. And with that-"

"Chris!" Dallas interrupted, "I want to say something."

"Sure, do what you want," Chris agreed with a slightly reluctant tone in his voice.

"Perfect," Dallas muttered before standing up and facing her team, "Guys, we can't afford to lose challenges anymore. So I'm begging you: please join me in voting for Tory!"

"What?" Tory exclaimed, confused, "How does that make any sense?"

"Tory is totally dropping the ball in challenges!" Dallas claimed, completely ignoring Tory's question, "He dropped out way too early in the weightlifting challenge, and was useless when he threw corks this afternoon!"

"What about the third challenge?" Veronica asked, "He won-"

"Shut up!" Dallas ordered, "And he is the root of all the fighting in this team! He's the one who started the rumour that Annie & Spencer were in love!"

"Don't worry!" Annie assured, "We cleared that up and everything is-"

"Annie, you're a good girl, but I need to do this for the sake of our team," Dallas insisted, "It doesn't matter if he means to do it or not; Tory is the reason why our team is losing. And if you don't want to lose anymore, you need to join me and vote him out too."

Everyone was shocked; to openly call someone out for being the weak-link on their team was such a gutsy move that no one would even think of doing it. At least, no one except for Dallas. She was so adamant that Tory needed to go that she was willing to put everything on the line to make it happen. For a few seconds after Dallas finished speaking, no one knew what to do next. It wasn't until Spencer got up that everyone started talking.

"One second," Spencer requested as he walked over to Annie and began whispering to her.

That one move sparked the movement of everyone else. Within a matter of seconds, all eight members of the Observant Owls were up and whispering to other members of the team. It was pandemonium; even people who didn't normally talk to each other were now talking. Dallas & Kavan were talking, Damien & Annie were talking, Rhythm & Tory were talking, Veronica & Spencer were talking, and every other combination of people talking was happening all at once.

"This is....amazing!" Chris remarked as he watched the campers scramble, "This is gonna be awesome for the episode!"

"Guys, are we ready to vote?" Veronica asked to the entire team.

"We're ready," Dallas & Rhythm agreed.

"We're fine here," Tory & Annie added.

"Let's do it," Spencer & Damien remarked.

"Alright Chris, we're ready to vote," Kavan declared.

"Don't let me stop you," Chris insisted, "Let's get this show rolling!"

"Wait!" Daniel called out, "What about Boney Island?"

"I'll get to that after the elimination!" Chris answered, "Go vote!"

--------

"You don't target my man and expect me to not go after you. Sorry not sorry."- Annie

"You dug your own grave, so I'm just...throwing you into a coffin and pushing you in. See ya."- Tory

"I appreciate talking to you, but I think that it's best for me to get you out."- Kavan

"I know that you're going to come after me eventually, so you've got to go."- Veronica

"I know that you're coming after me, so I've got to vote for you."- Rhythm

"It's finally time for the big move to happen." *smiles mischievously*- Dallas

"Not only do I think that this is a good move, but it might actually be what you deserve."- Damien

"I'm not afraid anymore. This is what's best for my game."- Spencer

--------

"I must say, that was a pretty quick vote, but it's still gonna be a good one," Chris assured as he held up a bunch of marshmallows, "Rhythm, Damien, Spencer, Kavan, Veronica, & Annie, you six are safe. Tory & Dallas are on thin ice."

Tory wasn't surprised, but he was still concerned. With Dallas' loud campaign to send him packing, he knew that he would receive at least one vote, but was left wondering if people actually listened to her. Dallas also wasn't surprised, but felt comfortable; throughout the whispers, her allies confirmed that the vote would go as planned, and was confident that everything would be alright.

"The final marshmallow goes to..." Chris began before pausing, ".....Tory! Dallas is out!"

"What?!" Rhythm exclaimed, immediately looking around at her teammates, "Wha-?"

"Sorry Rhythm, but we just couldn't take it," Spencer apologized.

"Veronica, did you know about this?" Rhythm asked, visibly hurt.

"I'm really sorry, girl," Veronica admitted, "But we're not gonna sit here and get berated to make a decision that isn't the best for us."

"Oh man..." Rhythm muttered before turning to face her girlfriend, who was shocked beyond belief, "Dallas.....I don't know what to say."

"Don't say anything; nothing will change it," Dallas noted as she pulled her girlfriend into a standing hug with her, "Just promise me that you'll make it to the end. It's up to you now."

"Okay..." Rhythm agreed, now tearing up.

"C'mon," Dallas ushered, "Just walk me down."

--------

Everyone was surprised that Dallas wasn't cursing everyone off before leaving. But what everyone didn't know was that even though Dallas was upset, she knew that she was beaten, and complaining about it wasn't going to change anything. All that she wanted to do was take one last walk with her girlfriend and wish her the best of luck. But once she left, she would be ready to let out all of her anger.

"You can do this, okay?" Dallas assured, "You did it last season, and you can do it again."

"I know..." Rhythm agreed, now full out crying, "Goodbye..."

"It's not 'goodbye'; it's 'see you soon'," Dallas reminded before kissing Rhythm one more time, "Love you."

"Love you too..." Rhythm agreed as Dallas stepped onto the Jet Ski of Losers and was handcuffed to it by Chef Hatchet.

"Let's do this," Dallas declared as Chris launched her into the distance, leaving Rhythm to walk back to her team in a fit of tears.

"I'm really sorry Rhythm..." Veronica apologized as she went in for another hug.

"Please, just leave me alone," Rhythm requested as she avoided the hug.

*crying* "This is what I was afraid of! Dallas made herself a target and she was voted out because of it! I tried to stop her and I couldn't do it! Dallas, I'm so sorry!" *sobbing openly*- Rhythm

"And now, per Daniel's request, and because I'm the host and can do whatever I want, both teams can send two people to Boney Island tonight," Chris declared, "One man, one woman, and you can't send someone who's already gone to Boney Island in the last episode."

"I'd like to go," Daniel offered.

"I'll go too," Karlie declared, "Y'know, just to see what's it's like."

"Alright then," Chris remarked, "And from the Owls?"

"I'll do it," Rhythm declared as she stepped forward, "I need time to myself."

"I'll go if no one else wants to," Kavan admitted.

"Can I go?" Tory asked, "I haven't been there yet."

"You did last season!" Veronica noted.

"I haven't been there this season," Tory corrected.

"Sure, you can go," Kavan allowed, "Have fun."

"So we have Daniel, Karlie, Tory, and Rhythm volunteering," Chris noted, "And again, because I'm the host and can do whatever I want, you four are switching teams right now!"

That declaration shocked the remaining fourteen campers. With all that had gone on over the past few days, the thought of a team swap didn't cross through anyone's minds. Needless to say, this forced everyone to rethink their strategies for the upcoming days.

"Well...I'll see you in the morning," Daniel declared as he kissed Amalia on the head before walking to join the Owls.

"See ya soon," Karlie declared as she shared a hug with Amalia before joining Daniel.

"This f*cking sucks. I just lost my two closest allies and I did nothing wrong. Now I've got to work with Callie & Alina and ensure that we can stay safe."- Amalia

"Love ya'," Tory remarked to Annie as they kissed before he departed with Rhythm.

"I can't say that this hurts my game. Sure, Rhythm's on the other team, but I get Daniel back the other way. He's a strong player and a capable player, so he'll be helpful, provided that he doesn't try to get me out." *laughs*- Veronica

With the team swap done with, both teams retreated to their lodgings; new for some and old for others. This left Chris to take in the drama that the show had to offer. With this elimination being the second blindside in a row, he knew that it was the perfect time to throw in a team swap. With deals and alliances nearly in shambles, it was time to reset the game and allow some campers the chance to begin anew, and he was ready to catch it all on tape.

"Well, if that elimination teaches you anything, it's that if you don't watch your mouth, you'll get voted out," Chris remarked as he talked to the main camera, "How will Daniel, Karlie, Rhythm & Tory fare on their new teams? What will Rhythm do now that her girlfriend is out of the game? And who will be voted out next? Find out next time, right here, on Total...Drama...Double Trouble!"

--------

Final Words:

"I'm shocked that I'm the one heading to Playa de Losers right now. How can these guys have the brains to take me out but not have the guts to take out Tory? It baffles my mind that they managed to pull this off. I actually feel really bad; not because I'm out, but because Rhythm is still in the game without an unconditionally loyal ally. She doesn't have anyone in there that will be loyal to her through thick and thin. Rhythm, if you ever watch this, I'm rooting for you to win. You made it to the finals before, so I know that you can do it again. Love ya', girl."- Dallas
