Episode 9: Blinded By Love- Immunity Challenge
With the completion of the commercial break, the cameras panned in on the present ten campers, all of whom were now dressed in their new outfits. While they laughed at each other's outfits, Chris instructed them to take their seats in their respective booths. They could only assume that because they were in a diner, they would likely be facing an eating or drinking challenge.
"That's a really nice beret," Daniel commented to Amalia.
"Thanks..." Amalia replied, blushing.
"As 'Miss Rebelle', dressing as a beatnik is perfect for me. Honestly, I think everyone's outfit coincided with their personalities. Rhythm loves music, so it's perfect for her to be the 'Jazz Singer'. Alexander is loud, so he fits well as the 'Rock N' Roll Enthusiast'. Katelyn is a dancer, so being the 'Swing Dancer' was a given. And Daniel, I've gotta admit it; he looks sexy in that silver suit. Although, I'm not sure who he's supposed to be dressed as..."- Amalia
"I am a big fan of Doo-Wop music, so being the 'Doo Wop Singer' seemed quite fitting."- Daniel
"Everyone on my team looks pretty good. Aaron the 'Greaser' is rockin' the leather outfit, Veronica finally gets to wear a swimsuit as the 'Surfer Girl', Devin managed to pull off the 'Soc' look with his jean jacket, and I look quite dashing in my suit as the 'Star Actor'. Although, Kiana definitely was not a good fit for the 'Diner Waitress'; she looks tall enough without the heels and short skirt."- Matthew
"This challenge is called: Drinking & Determining," Chris declared as he stood behind the counter, "On the board are ten familiarly-named drinks, all of which are disgusting concoctions created by Chef. One team will pick which drink that they want to receive; however, only one person will get what they ordered: the 'foul shot', while the other four members will get a tasty drink. Then, they have to put on their pokerfaces, as the other team must then guess who they think took the 'foul shot'. If they are correct, they get a point. If they are wrong, the other team gets a point. The first team to four points wins the game. Ready?"
"Yeah!" the campers responded, finally excited for a challenge.
"This is my kind of challenge! I'm an expert at keeping a pokerface. I play poker almost every single weekend with my buddies. I don't win a lot but that's not the point."- Alexander
"Drinking & eating competitions are not my thing. I'm more into the puzzle and intellectual competitions."- Katelyn
"I'm pretty good at keeping food down. It shouldn't be a problem for me."- Devin
"The Wild Wolverines will order first," Chris declared, "Wild Wolverines, what would you like to order?"
"Veroni-ca Cola?" Aaron suggested, "It could have Coca-Cola in it."
"Sure," Veronica agreed as she turned to face Chris, "We'll have a 'Veroni-ca Cola!"
"Alright! The Wild Wolverines have ordered the Veroni-ca Cola!" Chris declared as an intern placed a different coloured shot glass of their drink in front of each member, "It is made out of chocolate sauce, potatoes, tuna, and Coca-Cola."
"Ew!" Matthew exclaimed.
"I immediately regret that decision," Veronica remarked, chuckling soon after.
"Grab your glasses," Chris ordered, "Three, two, one, down it!"
With that, each camper downed their drink, followed by each member making an odd face at the other team. Without hesitation, the members of the Wild Wolverines intentionally closed their eyes and raised their noses & mouths, thereby creating an uncommon expression.
"What the f**k?" Amalia muttered, confused.
"What are they doing?" Katelyn asked.
"After Chris explained the challenge, I told everyone to make what I call 'The Mad Cat' face. In theory, if we all look the same, it'll be impossible for the others to choose the right person."- Matthew
"I don't think I can hold the face for that long," Veronica admitted to her team as she wiggled her face muscles.
"What do you guys think?" Rhythm asked to her team.
"I don't think it was Aaron," Alexander admitted, "He's trying to make it look like he's trying too hard."
"I think Kiana would move more if she got the real drink," Rhythm admitted.
"I'm convinced that it's Veronica," Daniel revealed, "Gut feeling."
"Go for it," Amalia insisted.
"We think that Veronica got the 'foul shot'!" Daniel announced.
"Merciless Moose, Veronica did get the foul shot," Chris confirmed, resulting in cheers from the Merciless Moose, "That means that the Merciless Moose score one point!"
"Okay, we're scrapping the cat face plan," Veronica declared, "It didn't work."
"Merciless Moose, which drink would you like?" Chris asked.
"Can we get the root beer?" Rhythm asked kindly, resulting in nods from her teammates, "We'll have the Rhythm Root Beer!"
"And the Merciless Moose have ordered the Rhythm Root Beer!" Chris repeated as an intern served them the drinks, "It is made of mushrooms, cashel blue cheese, galang vegetable, and root beer."
"Uh....yeah...." Amalia muttered, disgusted.
"One, two, three, down it!" Chris called out, forcing the five teenagers to drink the shot.
"F**K!" Amalia exclaimed as she threw the shot glass onto the ground.
"Terrible..." Katelyn muttered, "Straight-up terrible."
"The problem is that all I taste is sticky root beer," Daniel commented.
"We each wanted to take on a certain role after drinking. Amalia would curse a lot, Rhythm would put her head down on the table and cover her eyes, Alexander would just stay still and take it like a man, Katelyn would complain, and I would make an analysis of it. Hopefully it throws them off."- Daniel
Unbeknownst to the rest of his team, Alexander was attempting to secretly point at himself; he received the foul shot, and was trying to get the other team to notice this and answer correctly. Reason: he felt confident that he could convince Rhythm & Katelyn to vote for Daniel if they lost. Sadly for him, his plan didn't work.
"Doesn't look like Alexander got it; he's too serious," Veronica commented.
"And Daniel's talking too much," Aaron noted.
"Honestly, that's where I'm stumped," Matthew admitted, "I have no clue."
"Well...Rhythm's not showing us her eyes," Devin noted, "I heard that eyes are a big tell when it comes to detecting lies."
"I agree," Kiana interjected.
"Alright, it's our best bet," Veronica conceded as she turned to face Chris, "We think that Rhythm got the foul drink!"
"Rhythm did not get the foul drink; Alexander did," Chris corrected, "That means the Merciless Moose score another point!" Chris declared, causing the Merciless Moose to cheer once again.
"Damnit!" Veronica exclaimed as she laid back into the booth.
"Now what?" Aaron asked, seeking wisdom.
"Y'know what, for a drinking challenge, I kinda expected Veronica to do a bit better."- Aaron
"We're already down by two points! I've got to do something, and I think I know what that will be..."- Devin
"Wild Wolverines, what will you order?" Chris asked.
"Cruisin' For An Aaron, please," Aaron requested, allowing the intern to serve them.
"The Wild Wolverines have ordered the Cruisin' For An Aaron," Chris declared, "It's made with carrots, celery, spicy chicken, and Pepsi."
"Doesn't sound that bad," Aaron claimed.
"Ready, set, drink!" Chris called out, forcing the campers to drink.
"We pretty much scrapped the cat idea. Now, we're just gonna try and put on our best pokerfaces and try not to drag too much attention to ourselves."- Veronica
For the most part, the team did their best to remain as calm as possible. The one exception was Devin, who immediately went into a tirade of tears and loud crying sounds. Even though it went against the intended plan, it did do well with confusing the other team.
"Umm...." Katelyn remarked, confused, "He's more of a wimp than I thought."
"It's either Devin or Veronica," Daniel claimed.
"Devin is sooooo bluffing!" Alexander insisted, "He's just trying to throw us off!"
"I don't know..." Rhythm admitted, "I wouldn't put it past him."
"Your call, Daniel," Amalia declared, believing that Daniel would make the right choice.
"We think that....Devin took the foul shot!" Daniel declared.
"Devin....did not take the foul shot; Aaron did," Chris corrected, "That means that the Wild Wolverines are finally on the board!"
"See! I was right!" Alexander exclaimed.
"No; we were both wrong," Daniel corrected.
"I was actually starting to enjoy being away from Alexander; but....nothing seems to have changed. At least if we lose, we know who's going home."- Daniel
"Any chance that I can get to make Daniel look bad is a chance that I'll take. Honestly, between him and Amalia, I know that Daniel is the brains of the alliance. That's why he has to go; without him, Amalia is nothing."- Alexander
"Merciless Moose, what drink would you like to order?" Chris asked, following protocol.
"How about a Piña Col-Amalia?" Daniel suggested.
"I like the sound of that," Amalia admitted happily.
"Eh, sure," Katelyn agreed.
"The Piña Col-Amalia it is!" Chris declared as the intern served them, "It is made of coconut milk, Red Bull, Limburger cheese, and mayonnaise."
"Aw...not Limburger!" Alexander exclaimed, "ANYTHING but Limburger!"
"What's Limburger cheese?" Rhythm asked.
"It's a cheese that originated in Belgium & Germany and is known for it's foul smell," Daniel answered.
"Ready, set, drink!" Chris ordered as the five campers drank their shot.
"S**T!" Amalia screamed.
"Ugh..." Rhythm groaned as she place her head on the table.
"Eh, the Red Bull does wonders in clumping the milk," Daniel commented, licking his lips.
While the other campers continued their charade, Alexander continued secretly pointing at himself, having received the foul shot once again. Luckily for him, the rest of his teammates were too focused on their acting skills to notice him pointing. Unluckily for him, the other campers failed to notice.
"Look at Katelyn; she's tearing up," Devin noted, "I think..."
"Daniel is still talking a lot," Veronica pointed out, "But he's more specific this time."
"With all do respect, we went with Devin's guess last time, I think that we should trust our leader," Aaron insisted.
"Thanks man," Veronica thanked before turning to face Chris, "We think that Daniel took the foul shot."
"That is...incorrect! Alexander took the foul shot again," Chris corrected, "That means that the Merciless Moose score a third point!"
"And....no...." Aaron muttered.
"I just wanted Veronica to trust me. Even though Veronica and I are on good terms now, I don't think that she's forgotten about it. Better safe than sorry."- Aaron
"Wild Wolverines, you must get a point this round or the Merciless Moose will win immunity," Chris warned, "Which drink would you like?"
"Does it really matter?" Veronica asked to her team.
"Can I pick my drink?" Matthew asked kindly.
"I'm fine with it," Kiana admitted.
"Eh, we don't have anything to lose," Veronica rationalized before turning to face Chris, "We'll have the Matthew Mix."
"The Wild Wolverines have ordered the Matthew Mix," Chris declared as the intern served them, "It is made out of Sprite, hot dogs, ketchup, and waffles."
"Waffles?" Kiana asked, confused, "How does that fit with the other three?"
"I never said it did," Chris noted, laughing soon after, "Three, two, one, drink!"
Upon drinking the shot, the actions made by the team were awfully similar to their previous attempt. Devin was still crying, Veronica was still calm, and Matthew showed no signs of struggle. The only difference was that Kiana was talking much more than before.
"You know....it's not that bad....but it's not good either," Kiana remarked, "Don't you think?"
"I think it's either Devin or Kiana," Amalia claimed.
"Devin is bluffing again! I'm telling you!" Alexander insisted.
"Kiana kinda looks like she's trying too hard..." Daniel observed, "But I don't know for sure..."
"Aaron looks pretty calm," Katelyn noted.
"They all look pretty calm," Rhythm pointed out, "Aside from Devin, of course."
"Merciless Moose, we need an answer," Chris reminded.
"We're gonna go with..." Daniel began before being cut off.
"Devin!" Rhythm exclaimed, simply throwing out an answer.
"Yeah, we'll go with Devin," Daniel agreed.
"That is....incorrect!" Chris declared, "Veronica got the foul shot."
"Damn right I did," Veronica remarked before turning around and cursing under her breath.
"That means that the Wild Wolverines inch a bit closer with a score of 3-2," Chris announced, "Merciless Moose, if you can successfully trick the Wild Wolverines, you will win immunity. Which drink would you like?"
"I'd like a Dirty Daniel," Amalia declared without consulting her team.
"We already know that; what about the rest of us?" Daniel joked, causing all the campers to laugh.
"Okay, gotta admit: that was good," Chris agreed, laughing with them.
"You meant to do that, didn't you?" Daniel questioned as he went to hug Amalia.
"Yeah," Amalia confirmed as she reciprocated the hug, "Can I have one though?"
"Not today," Daniel answered quickly as he disengaged from the hug, "Chris, just give us the drinks."
"Eh, it was worth a shot." *giggles*- Amalia
"Alright, the Merciless Moose have ordered the Dirty Daniel," Chris declared, "It is made out of chili peppers, lemonade, cayenne peppers, and shrimp."
"Maybe that was a bad call..." Katelyn remarked.
"One, two, three, drink!" Chris counted as the team downed their drinks.
This round, the group decided to go for a different strategy: everyone would act like they were in pain. Granted that the peppers were spicy, it made sense for them to act that way. Although, this didn't stop Alexander from pointing at himself; he was the unlucky one to receive the foul shot, and tried one last attempt to throw the challenge.
"C'mon people! How hard is it to notice a guy pointing at himself?! How has no one noticed?!"- Alexander
"Out of the corner of my eye, I see Alexander pointing at himself. I really want to call him out on it, but if I do, that'll alert the other team and they'll get another point for sure! I just hope that they don't notice."- Daniel
"It's gotta be Rhythm," Aaron insisted, "She's Indian; spicy food can't hurt her that much."
"Eh, can't argue with that," Devin admitted.
"Wait!" Kiana interrupted, "Look at Alexander: he's pointing to himself!"
"Why would he do that?" Veronica asked, confused.
"Maybe he's trying to throw the challenge," Matthew suggested.
"That doesn't make sense," Veronica insisted, "He knows that he's the next one out!"
"Maybe not..." Kiana muttered, "Maybe he's got a secret alliance..."
"I don't trust him," Veronica declared, "That's the bottom line."
"Do we really have a choice?" Aaron asked, resulting in a period of silence from his teammates, "We don't have a choice."
"Ugh..." Veronica groaned as she turned to Chris to declare her team's answer, "We think that...Alexander took the foul shot."
"That is correct!" Chris confirmed, allowing the Wild Wolverines to cheer, "The score is tied at 3-3!"
"Aw man!" Alexander complained, feigning disappointment, "How could this happen?"
"I'll tell you how it happened," Daniel declared as he stood up, "Rhythm, switch seats with me."
"Uhh, okay..." Rhythm obliged, a bit unsure of where Daniel was going with it.
"It's finally time to call him out; I'm not afraid of him. If he's gonna try and fight back, he might hurt me, but he'll be gone for sure."- Daniel
"Alexander was pointing at himself!" Daniel claimed, "He's trying to throw the challenge!"
"Oh, bulls**t!" Alexander retorted as he stood up from his seat, "You can't prove that!"
"I can confirm this..." Kiana interjected as she stood up, "We saw him point and that's why we chose him..."
"I don't want to get beat up...but I also can't bare to see Daniel get hurt again. I just wanted to do the right thing..."- Kiana
"That......ughhhh...." Alexander conceded as he sat back down, upset.
"As much as I would like to give Daniel & Kiana a piece of my mind, I'm gonna take a different approach and back off; I'm already a big target, so I need to take a bit of heat off me."- Alexander
"My favourite cop show is on in ten minutes, so let's get this done," Chris declared, "Wild Wolverines, which drink would you like to order?"
"Can I pick?" Kiana asked kindly, "I haven't picked yet."
"Go ahead," Devin allowed.
"Chris, may we please have a 'Kiana Kick'?" Kiana asked, causing the intern to serve them said drink.
"The Wild Wolverines have ordered the Kiana Kick," Chris announced, "It's made of cupcakes, spinach, dried cranberry pasta, and apple cider vinegar."
"This is gonna be a huge burn..." Kiana muttered to herself.
"Three...two...one...drink!" Chris ordered as the five campers took their last drink.
Much like the previous two rounds, Devin was the only one making any sort of reaction; he continued to cry and shout as much as he did in the previous two rounds. Everyone else on his team was perfectly still and calm. It seemed like an easy choice, but no one knew for sure with regards to who got the foul shot.
"I'm just gonna shut up..." Alexander declared as he laid back into his seat.
"That's a first..." Amalia muttered under her breath, "Who do we think it is?"
"I mean...Devin's still got his charade going on," Rhythm noted.
"We already tried Devin twice," Amalia reminded, "I doubt that he'd do it a third time."
"What's the plan then?" Daniel asked.
"I think you should make the call," Katelyn admitted, "You've got good judgement."
"I don't think that I'm going home if we lose, but I still don't want to be the one to lose the challenge for the team. I'll let Daniel take care of that."-Katelyn
"I'll go with...." Daniel began before announcing his decision, "Aaron."
"That is..." Chris began before pausing for dramatic effect, ".....NOT the correct answer! Devin had the foul shot! That means that the Wild Wolverines have won immunity!"
With that announcement, the Wild Wolverines were left in a state of utter relief. None of them were interested in having to vote someone out, and with thoughts of the merge looming, it was better to simply have a smooth ride to the merge. Conversely, the Merciless Moose were disappointed, having lost another challenge. They weren't particularly happy, and now they were left with a difficult decision.
"Sorry to the Merciless Moose, but you will have to vote someone out tonight," Chris declared, "You have the afternoon to make your decision."
"Can we keep the outfits?" Rhythm asked, hopeful.
"Eh, sure; I'll be nice....for once," Chris allowed before turning to the main camera, "Who will be voted out tonight? Find out after the break on Total...Drama...Island:...Return to Wawanakwa!"
