Chapter One - “Welcome to Total Drama Amazon!”
''Fifty people stood in the airport in Mexico City, Mexico. The people stood there with the same goal in mind; getting their luggage. One by one they grabbed their suitcases. After thirty minutes, only twenty-two teenagers remained.''

“I didn’t see any bags coming out,” James said in the confessional. The airport’s confessional was a small corner of a gift shop. “I also saw these other kids around me. I knew I was going to the Amazon, but I didn’t know about the rest.”

“There was a large fellow hitting on the girls,” Niles said in the confessional. He was referring to Ed. “All of the girls got very angry with him for it, but he didn’t notice.”

Ed walked over to Mariana who was sitting on a bench, waiting patiently for her luggage. “Hey,” Ed said, “are you Jamaican? ’Cause you’re Ja-making me crazy.”

“Estúpido,” Mariana said slapping Ed.

“Ed es un tirón. ¡Yo lo odio!” Mariana complained in the confessional.

“I can’t understand Mariana,” Jocelyn explained awkwardly in the confessional. “Also, Ed is a jerk. He wouldn’t hit on me at all! Not cool, Ed. Not cool.”

Lacey sat on a bench and scratched her back. She proceeded to lie down and fall asleep. Ed looked at Lacey, disgusted.

“Even I wouldn’t hit on Lacey,” Ed said in the confessional, laughing.

Will flipped channels on the television. He went past several new channels, a sports channel, and a music channel.

“No!” Elvis shouted when Will passed the music channel. “Go back! I need music! They wouldn’t let me take my iPod on the plane.”

Will turned the channel back. “Freak,” Will commented while walking away. Elvis clings to the television.

“Hello,” Frasier said to Niles.

“Salutations,” Niles replied, “How are you?”

Before Frasier could reply, Audrey cut in. “Wow! They are like twins!” she exclaimed. They stared at her in confusion, and she walked away awkwardly. Ed approached her, and she immediately slapped him.

Jess read her book peacefully, until Betty sat next to her. “Hi,” Jess said waving. Betty waved back. “How’s it going?” Betty smiled and gave Jess a thumbs-up. “Don’t you talk?” Betty shook her head. “Oh,” Jess said awkwardly. She moved away from Betty.

“Oh my gosh, that’s gross!” Hillary screamed.

“What’s wrong?” Ace asked, running to her aid.

“Lacey is drooling!” Hillary explained.

“That’s nasty,” Frasier said gagging.

Nathaniel was helping Spazz up, after she had fallen. “Are you okay?” Nathaniel asked.

“Yeah, thanks,” Spazz said. “I owe you one.”

“Really?” Nathaniel asked. “How about we vote together, like an alliance?”

“Sure,” Spazz replied. Nathaniel got her back into her chair and walked away, smiling evilly.

“Okay, I have something big to confess,” Susan said in the confessional happily, “I’ve only known him for a few minutes, and I haven’t talked to him yet, but I think Niles is really cute! He’s sort of pale and scrawny, but he’s got a good heart. I can tell.”

“Ed hit on pretty much all the girls,” Nathaniel said in the confessional, “so they are all pretty sick of him. Except Lacey, who hasn’t woken up yet, and Jocelyn who I think he is afraid of."

Bozo juggled chocolate bars from the gift shop as Fuega lit them on fire. “This is awesome!” Fuega said as she threw another chocolate bar to Bozo.

“I know, you rule!” Bozo laughed. An airport security guard walked over to them and sprayed them with the fire extinguisher.

Bulldog walked over to Bruno and Rocky who were ensued in an epic arm-wrestling match. “Wow, moving another person’s hand,” Bulldog said slyly, “You’re so cool.”

“What do you mean?” Rocky asked while trying to push Bruno’s hand down.

“Try lifting that chair,” Bulldog said pointing to a chair in the distance. Rocky picked it up and the chair broke in his hands.

“Hey!” Rocky shouted.

“Not funny,” Bruno said folding his arms.

Bulldog fell on the floor laughing. “It was to me!” he said.

The teens gathered around the baggage claim conveyor belt as they saw it turn on again. No planes had come in, and only one suitcase came in on the conveyor belt. Everyone looked at each other. Ace stepped forward and opened it up. A man jumped out of the case. “It’s about time! I couldn’t breathe in there!” he shouted. He looked at everyone staring at him awkwardly. “I am Nalyd. I am your host. Welcome to Total Drama Amazon! Now, time to get down to business.” Nalyd stepped onto the ground and all the contestants sat in the various seats and benches. “Now, there is a reason why you all had to wait here for a while. We needed you to form first impressions, because it’s time to vote! Two people will be voted off without even going to the Amazon! You can’t talk to each other before hand, and must use your own opinions. Nobody is safe. One at a time, you will cast your votes and put them into the suitcase I was in.” Bob the Leprechaun and Frank the Gnome handed paper and pencils to each contestant. One by one they put their votes into the case.

“Okay, ready to find out who won’t get a team, won’t get a chance at the million, and won’t get a prepaid ride home?” Everyone nods cautiously. “Okay, here are the votes. Ed, ‘Bulldog,’ Ed, Lacey, Hillary, Lacey, Ed, Ed, ‘Spazz,’ ‘Spazz,’ Ed, Lacey, Lacey, ‘Bulldog,’ Ed, ‘Spazz,’ Ed, Ed, Ed, Lacey, Niles, and Lacey. Okay, so with nine votes, Ed is out. Also, with six votes, Lacey is out.”

Lacey fell over, back to sleep.

“Oh, whatever!” Ed shouted. He followed the two interns carrying Lacey away.

“Okay,” Nalyd said, “Now let’s get on the plane!”

Five hours later, the plane landed in the heart of the Amazon. When everybody got off, Nalyd began splitting them into four tribes. “Everyday the four tribes will come back to this clearing for a challenge,” Nalyd explained. “Okay and the four tribes will be the Charging Jaguars, the Soaring Tree Frogs, the Screeching Monkeys, and the Rampaging Piranhas. The Charging Jaguars will be Niles, Susan, Jocelyn, Mariana, and James.” Nalyd tossed James crimson colored flag.

“Thank you kindly, sir,” James said, grouping together with his four new teammates.

“The Soaring Tree Frogs are ‘Bulldog,’ Frasier, Ace, Bozo, and Jess,” Nalyd said giving Ace a teal flag.

“Excellent,” Ace said sarcastically looking at the four people approaching him.

“The Screeching Monkeys are Bruno, Nathaniel, Audrey, Will, and Elvis,” Nalyd said tossing a sand colored flag to Audrey.

“Wow, a team with all boys!” Audrey said. “I mean, I’m not a boy. I am teammates with all boys.” She smacked her own forehead as Will and Nathaniel laughed.

“So the rest of you, Rocky, Fuega, Hillary, Betty, and ‘Spazz,’ are the Rampaging Piranhas!” Nalyd said giving Hillary a coral colored flag.

“I carry this flag with honor!” Hillary said. Rocky looked at her and rolled his eyes.

“Now it is time for the first challenge,” Nalyd said, “That’s right. We are having three people go home today! Today’s challenge is to build a fire!”

“Excuse me, Nalyd,” Elvis said, “I’m sorry, but when do we get our luggage? I need my iPod!”

“Sorry, Elvis,” Nalyd replied, “You get it when you get voted out! Anyway, the three teams who can successfully burn three-foot pieces of rope first win. The first one done gets an improved starting hut.” The four tribes gathered their materials and got to the ends of the ropes. “Go!”

Fuega immediately started using the flint and rock to light the rope on fire. “Where did you learn to do this?” Hillary asked.

“I was the girl scout who wasn’t off selling cookies,” Fuega replied simply.

Ace was the fire-starter for his team. “Trust me guys,” he said, “I’ve lit fires with my eyes closed, hanging upside-down by my ankle, and surrounded by natives with spears.”

“Really?” Frasier asked.

“No,” Ace said as he continued with the flint, “I was hanging by a toe, but I didn’t want to sound like a show-off.”

James was struggling with a fire. “Is something wrong?” Niles asked.

“Yeah, I can’t start the fire,” James explained.

“Oh, well I could give it a try,” Niles said. He got onto his knees, although he puts a handkerchief on the ground to kneel on first. He hit the flint together and got a spark. The spark flew onto his jacket, which caught on fire. “Help!” he shouted.

“Niles!” Jocelyn said, “Roll on the rope!”

“No!” Susan stopped him. “Take the jacket off!”

“But it’s new!” Niles whined. James ripped the jacket off of him and stomped it out.

“Somebody do something!” Will shouted at his team. “The other teams are way ahead of us!”

“Look!” Audrey shouted, pointing at Niles’ jacket. “It’s flaming!” She looked at her teammates, realizing she once again said the wrong thing at the wrong time.

“She’s right,” Bruno said. “It’s still on fire; a little.” Nathaniel grabbed the jacket and put the burning part to the rope.

“¡Gran! ¡Justo gran! ¡Ahora somos los perdiendo!” Mariana complained.

“What did she say?” Jocelyn asked.

“I speak French,” Niles said, “I think she said something along the lines of ‘Big! Big juice! Hours some the predicament.’ Wait, that’s not right.”

“Guys look!” James said worriedly. The Charging Cougars looked as the other teams won, with the Rampaging Piranhas coming in first.

Nalyd walked over to the Charging Cougars. “You guys have come in last place today, which means it is time to go back to camp. Later, come by tribal council.” Nalyd walked over to the Rampaging Piranhas. “You five have won first place, which means when you get to your campsite you will have a cabin. The rest of you will have poorly built huts. Maps to your campsites are on the back of your flags. Go back to camp!”

At the Charging Cougars campsite, Niles grieved the loss of his jacket. “It was new, too!” he said crying. Susan sat next to Niles as he leaned on her shoulder.

“Niles, usted nos cuesta el desafío. Digo que votamos para Niles, usted tipos,” Mariana said.

“I’m sorry, but I think we should vote for Mariana,” James said.

“¿Espera, qué?” Mariana asked worriedly.

“I just can’t understand her,” James shrugged.

“Good communication is what we need,” Jocelyn said.

“I’ll vote with you Jocelyn,” Niles said, as if mesmerized by Jocelyn’s beauty.

“I think this Niles guy seems like a little bit of a nerd,” James said in the confessional. “I don’t know how well I’m going to get along with the city slicker, but I will give it an honest try.”

At tribal council, Nalyd gave everyone a staff. “This is tribal council,” Nalyd said, “This is where, every night, you will watch one of your own leave the game for forever. It’s time to vote. Susan, you are up.”

Susan voted for Mariana. “No hablo español, or something like that.”

Mariana voted for Niles. “Voto para Niles. Eres estupido.”

“I’ll tally the votes,” Nalyd said after everyone voted. “Once the votes have been read, the decision is made. One of you will have to leave the tribal council area immediately. Mariana, Niles, Mariana. That is two votes for Mariana, and one vote for Niles. The third person eliminated from Total Drama Amazon is Mariana.”

“¿Pero por qué?” Mariana asked as she brought Nalyd her torch. Nalyd snuffed her torch.

“Mariana,” he said, “the tribe has spoken.” Mariana walked away from tribal council, down a dirt path leading to a bus.

“Cualquier,” Mariana said to herself angrily, “Yo no necesito esta exposición. Tengo habilidades y capacidades que ellos nunca sabrán de. Tendré que encontrar una exposición donde personas hablan como hace.”

“Well,” Nalyd said to the remaining four Cougars, “you four have already beaten three of the other contestants. Tomorrow will only bring more surprises. All of you, head back to camp.”

Chapter Two - “I could have sworn that was a lion.”
''Previously on Total Drama Amazon; Ed and Lacey were voted out at the airport after making bad first impressions. The four tribes for this season were then established. Fuega won the fire-making challenge for the Rampaging Piranhas, giving them a cabin to live in. Ace and Bruno lead their teams, the Soaring Tree Frogs and Screeching Monkeys, respectively, and won immunity. When the Charging Jaguars had to vote one of their own out, they picked Mariana due to the language barrier. Who will be voted off tonight?''

“That was hard to do,” James said when the Charging Jaguars returned to their campsite. “It must be tough to be the first one out.”

“She was technically the third one out,” Niles commented. “Remember Ed and Lacey?”

“Oh yeah, well maybe that will make Mariana feel better,” James shrugged. The remaining Jaguars sat down.

“Niles?” Jocelyn asked. “You wanna get me some water?”

“Okay,” Niles said, springing to his feet. He grabbed one of the canteens that had been left at the campsite headed for the river.

“I’ll come to,” Susan volunteered. She jumped up and followed Niles.

“Be careful, y’all!” James shouted to them.

Jocelyn waited for Niles and Susan to be out of sight, and then clung to James. “Did you hear that?” she asked frightfully.

“Hear what?” James asked.

“A rustling in the grass, I think there is a snake.”

James stood up and looked through the grass surrounding them. “I don’t see anything.”

“You must have scared it away. Thanks James,” she said, hugging him. “Night!” she said lying down in the girls’ hut that interns had built. James stared at the girls’ hut in confusion, but then went into the boys’ hut to sleep.

Susan and Niles returned a few minutes later, covered in bruises and dirt. “Sorry,” Niles said awkwardly to Susan, “I could have sworn that was a lion.”

“Niles,” Susan said, brushing dirt off herself, “That was a butterfly. But it was an honest mistake. It’s okay.” The two climbed into their respective huts for a good night’s sleep.

At the Soaring Tree Frogs camp, Ace was telling a story. “I have been to the Amazon before,” he said, “I remember it like it was yesterday. I was canoeing through the rain forest when I was attacked by a group of jungle natives. They beat me, tied me up and fed me poisonous berries. I only had fifteen minutes to escape and get the antidote before it would be the end of me. I chewed my way through the rope and fought off the tribe.”

“Excuse me,” Frasier interrupted. “If you couldn’t fight them off before, how could you now that you had been weakened?”

“Oh, poor Frasier,” Ace said laughing, “Poor, simple, naïve Frasier. I was still strong enough even after all the attacks!”

“You’re awesome!” Bozo said excitedly.

“That’s so cool!” Jess added.

“Well, that’s enough for tonight,” Ace said, standing up and stretching. “How about we all hit the hay?” Everyone agreed and got into the two huts.

“It’s ridiculous that they’d believe him,” Frasier said in the confessional. “It’s obvious he’s lying! How did he get to the rain forest all by himself? Why did he come here? How did he get to an antidote, chew through rope, and beat up a tribe in less than fifteen minutes?”

“Snake!” Ace screamed when he got into the boys’ hut. “Get it away! Get it away!”

Bulldog broke into laughter. “Wow! Dude, calm down, it’s just some leaves and grass tied together.”

“This was a prank?” Frasier asked.

“No, you think?” Bulldog asked sarcastically.

The boys of the Screeching Monkeys team were laughing at the spectacle that was Audrey tieing herself up while working with rope. “Need some help?” Bruno asked between chuckles.

“No, no, I got it,” Audrey said falling over.

“That’s hilarious!” Will said.

Nathaniel helped Audrey up. “Thanks,” Audrey said.

Nathaniel untied the rope and set it down. “No problem, but you owe me one,” he said. “How about you vote with me if our team loses?”

“Sure,” Audrey agreed.

“Excellent,” Nathaniel said.

“I need my music!” Elvis shouted.

“You were fine a minute ago, dork,” Will said.

“I was distracted by Audrey making a fool of herself, now I need music!” Elvis said, starting to cry.

“This is gonna be a long season,” Will said to himself.

At the Rampaging Piranhas camp, the cabin they had won was being put to good use. “Way to go, Fuega,” Hillary said to Fuega.

“I could have done that,” Rocky muttered as slouched in a chair.

“What’s wrong, Rocky?” Spazz asked.

“Nothing,” Rocky muttered as he played with a rock he picked up outside.

“I bet he’s jealous,” Hillary said slyly.

“I am not!” Rocky shouted. “I have nothing to be jealous of!”

“Fire,” Fuega chuckled to herself as she slowly tried to light the cabin on fire.

“No, Fuega!” Hillary shouted. “Put that down!” Fuega complied but did so glaring at Hillary.

In the morning, the four tribes came to the challenge field. “Welcome back,” Nalyd said, “As you can all see, Mariana was voted out last night. Today’s challenge is vine swinging-”

“That’s easy,” Ace interrupted.

“-over a pit of crocodiles, snakes, and sharp rocks!” Nalyd added.

“Did he say snakes?” Ace asked.

“Since they won yesterday, the Rampaging Piranhas will go first!” Nalyd said. Bob the Leprechaun and Frank the Gnome stood up a ladder. “At the top of the ladder is a vine. You will grab it, and jump across the fifteen foot pit! The tribe with the most people to go across wins immunity and a bag of luggage! But you don’t know whose luggage you will get.”

Rocky and Hillary helped Spazz up the ladder. Spazz clung to the rope, but fell into the pit. “My leg!” she shouted, writhing in pain. Three interns ran in and pulled her out.

Hillary went next and successfully crossed the pit. Rocky followed, also succeeding. Fuega did the same. Betty refused to jump.

“Jump! I demand that you jump!” Hillary shouted.

“Chill out,” Fuega said, “She doesn’t wanna jump, its no big deal.” Hillary folded her arms and rolled her eyes.

“Next up, the Soaring Tree Frogs,” Nalyd said.

“Who wants to go first?” Ace asked. Bulldog pushed Frasier forward.

Frasier climbed the ladder, and barely made it across. Bulldog climbed the ladder, but refused to actually jump. Bozo went across and did a back flip off the vine. Jess climbed the ladder, got on the vine, but didn’t jump off. She was too scared to let go, so an intern got her. Ace was the last person to jump.

“You can do this, Ace, you can do this,” he said to himself. He looked down into the pit, and passed out. He fell backwards off the ladder and onto the cold ground.

“Leading with three points,” Nalyd said, “are the Rampaging Piranhas. Now its time for the Charging Jaguars to jump.”

Jocelyn refused to jump. Susan successfully jumped, and so did James. When Niles jumped, he almost missed but James pulled him up.

“Thanks,” Niles said.

“Don’t mention it,” James said patting Niles on the back. “Okay,” Nalyd said, “The Charging Jaguars and Rampaging Piranhas are tied. If the Soaring Tree Frogs are going to be safe, the Screeching Monkeys will have one or less people jump.”

Bruno jumped with no problem. Audrey also successfully made it. Elvis paused on the ladder.

“Come on, music boy,” Will said to Elvis, “Maybe we’ll get your iPod if we win!” Elvis immediately jumped. Will did the same. Nathaniel jumped, but fell in the pit. Bob the Leprechaun jumped in and pulled Nathaniel out.

“The Screeching Monkeys win immunity and reward!” Nalyd announced. Frank the Gnome and Bob the Leprechaun dragged in the bags of all the twenty-two original contestants. “Pick one.”

“We’ll take that small black suitcase,” Bruno decided. Frank handed him the case.

“Now,” Nalyd aid, “The Soaring Tree Frogs lost. Which means tonight they will vote off one of their own.” The four tribes returned to their campsites.

“So who are we sending home?” Ace asked.

“Well, only Bozo and I only jumped,” Frasier said, “So it should be one of the three of you.”

“I agree,” Ace said. “We should vote out ‘Bulldog.’”

“Me?” Bulldog asked confusedly.

“You didn’t jump, and you pulled a prank on us, not cool,” Bozo explained.

“When Jess and I got into the girls’ hut,” Bozo explained in the confessional, “a stink bomb went off. We were choking all night!”

“But Ace has been lying yo all of you all along! He isn’t an adventurer!” Bulldog protested.

“I don’t believe Ace,” Frasier said in the confessional, “So I might vote him off.”

At tribal council, everyone was ready to cast their votes. “Welcome to tribal council,” Nalyd said, giving everybody a torch. “It’s time to cast your votes.”

Ace voted for Bulldog. “I am not a liar, and I am not a crook. The same cannot be said for you. Good luck, you’re gonna need it.”

Bulldog voted for Ace. “You are the most delusional person ever. Get a grip, dude.”

“I’ll tally the votes,” Nalyd said as he got the ballot box. “Once the votes have been read the decision has been made. The eliminated contestant will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. ‘Bulldog,’ Ace, Ace. That’s one vote for ‘Bulldog’ and two votes for Ace. ‘Bulldog.’ Two votes for ‘Bulldog’ and two for Ace. The fourth person eliminated from Total Drama Amazon is ‘Bulldog.’” Nalyd snuffed Bulldog’s torch. “‘Bulldog,’ the tribe has spoken.”

“Whatever, I knew it was me going,” Bulldog said as he got on the bus to leave. “I just hope the tribe is ready for the little surprise I left for them.”

“Well,” Nalyd said, “Looks like another day, another vote off. I hope you enjoyed your first tribal council, because it won’t be your last. All of you, head back to camp.”

Chapter Three – “I’m the best and I don’t care who knows it.”
''Previously on Total Drama Amazon; Alliance crazed Nathaniel made his second alliance, this time with Audrey. Rocky was a big baby about a girl beating him in the challenge from day one. When the contestants had to swing on a vine across a pit filled with snakes, alligators, and sharp rocks, some chickened out, some fell in, and some made it across. In the end, the Screeching Monkeys won immunity and an unknown luggage bag. The Soaring Tree Frogs lost, and sent ‘Bulldog’ home for torturing all of them. However, he promised one more prank when his former tribe got back to their campsite. Who will be voted off tonight?''

“I’m glad ‘Bulldog’ is gone,” Jess said to other Soaring Tree Frogs when they returned to their campsite.

“Me too,” Bozo said. “But now I’m the only funny one!” She picked up some rocks and started juggling them.

“I think I’ve had enough ‘funny’ for one day,” Frasier said, “Good night, all.” Frasier climbed into the boys’ hut and screamed. He ran out and hid behind Bozo.

“What’s wrong, baldy?” Bozo asked.

“First of all,” Frasier said defiantly, “I’m not bald, my hair is just thinning. Second of all, look what is in the hut.”

“I’ll do it!” Ace said, raising his hand. Ace looked in and reached his hand into the hut. He pulled out a skull.

“That is so cool!” Bozo laughed grabbing the skull. “Where for art thou, Romeo?” she said, holding the skull up dramatically. “That is the question!”

“Wrong line,” Jess said, “The skull scene is from ‘Hamlet,’ not ‘Romeo and Juliet.’”

“There’s a note in the hut!” Ace said pulling out a note. “It says; Dear former teammates, I knew you were voting me out. Hope you enjoyed your little surprise, boys. You might want to check on the girls. Your friend forever, ‘Bulldog.’”

“Oh my gosh!” Jess screamed from the girls’ hut. She held open the flap used as a door, revealing many large insects crawling around.

“This is going to be a long night,” Frasier muttered to himself.

The Charging Jaguars were getting off much better. “Thanks for building this hammock, James,” Jocelyn said as she sat in the hammock James made out of wood and leaves.

“No problem, little lady,” James said.

“I could have done that,” Niles said jealously in the confessional. “I’m just as manly as James. Is that mold?” He squinted at the tree he was next to. Niles, as well as everyone else, had to do confessionals in the jungle so the producers could get good nature shots.

“Now that I have James and Miles wrapped around my pretty little finger, I am guaranteed safety,” Jocelyn said in the confessional happily. “All I have to do is do a little hair flip or bat my eyelashes and those boys do whatever I say. Eat your heart out, Justin.”

“I wish Niles would pay attention to me instead of Jocelyn,” Susan sighed sadly in the confessional. “I really like him! He’s just confused and is turning to whoever is willing to help him. Worst of all, Jocelyn thinks his name is Miles!”

“Miles,” Jocelyn said while lying down in the hammock. Niles was immediately by her side, not even correcting her for forgetting his name. “Would you be a dear and give me a foot rub?”

“I’d be honored!” Niles said excitedly, already rubbing Jocelyn’s dirt-coated feet.

“Boys,” Susan said to herself, rolling her eyes, as she crawled into the girls’ hut to get to sleep.

The Screeching Monkeys had opened the black suitcase they got for winning the previous challenge, and were incredibly disappointed in the results; it was Niles’ suitcase. “That little nerd,” Will growled, ripping up the many handkerchiefs Niles had brought, “I will hate him forever.”

“He seems to like soap,” Audrey said observantly. Audrey heard a cough and turned around. She saw Nathaniel who was in a wheelchair and had a cast on his left arm and a neck brace. Nathaniel was sitting away from the group, next to the boys’ hut. “How are you doing since the interns got you out of the snake pit, Nathaniel?” Audrey asked. Nathaniel gave her a thumbs-up; the interns advised him not to talk much while he had the neck brace, as he might hurt his jaw. “Who are we voting off next?” Audrey asked. Nathaniel pointed at Will. “Okay, whatever you, um, say,” Audrey said.

“Nathaniel and I are still in an alliance,” Audrey said in the confessional. “I think we could get Elvis to help us vote out Will, but Bruno doesn’t seem to have an opinion yet.”

Will picked up the suitcase and kicked it into the jungle that surrounded their small campsite. “That takes care of that,” Will yawned. He crawled into the boys’ hut for a good night’s sleep. Soon, everybody was in their respective huts, asleep, forgetting Nathaniel outside.

The Rampaging Piranhas were still enjoying the cabin they had gotten on the first day. All except for Rocky, who sat outside building his own shelter.

“Rocky!” Hillary shouted to him when it got dark out, “Get in here, now! You’re going to die out there!” Rocky ignored her and continued to tie sticks together with grass and leaves. “Any ideas, girls?” Hillary asked the other Piranha girls who were behind her, minus Spazz who was lying in her bed after being attacked by snakes and rocks earlier that day.

“How did a girl do better than me in the challenge?” Rocky asked himself in the confessional. “I don’t care if I sound sexist; I’m supposed to be the powerful one on the team. I’m the best and I don’t care who knows it.”

Fuega ran outside to where Rocky was working on a very poorly built hut. “Rocky, listen,” Fuega said, “I know you’re mad and that is okay, but we need a team captain-”

“No we don’t!” Hillary interrupted! “I already am!”

Fuega continued, ignoring Hillary, “I think you could be the captain.”

“Well, I agree and accept,” Rocky said. “Thank you, Fuega. I’m sorry I was a jerk to all of you.”

“Yeah, that’s great,” Fuega said, not paying attention. She grabbed the wood Rocky had been using to build a hut and threw it into the cabin’s fireplace.

“I don’t know if Fuega genuinely believe in me or just wanted the wood for fire,” Rocky said in the confessional.

“I think I’m going to die,” Spazz said in the confessional. “In the middle of the night I fell out of my bed and broke my left wrist. Tomorrow is gonna be fun.”

The next day, the four tribes returned to the challenge field. They noticed a large pit of mud where the snakes pit had been the previous day. “Welcome back,” Nalyd said, “As you all see, ‘Bulldog’ was voted out last night. It’s time for today’s challenge!”

“There better not be any snakes,” Ace muttered.

“That reminds me,” Nalyd said, “Nathaniel and ‘Spazz’ will be sitting out for medical reasons, and to make the teams even. Now for today’s challenge, one person from each team will go digging in the mud for puzzle pieces. However, you will also be fighting each other! There are twelve bags of puzzle pieces. Once a team gets three bags, you will start putting the puzzle together. You can push, grab, bite, and do anything to get to the puzzle pieces. The first tribe to get three bags and put the pieces together wins an endless supply of fruit.”

“Fruit?” Will asked in disbelief. “Worst reward ever.”

“Anyway,” Nalyd said, “Sometimes a person will have to go in more than once. Everybody pick your first person.”

“I say we pick James,” Niles said to the Charging Jaguars. “He’s the strongest of all of us.” The team agreed and James shed his shirt in preparation for the fight.

“Ace is the obvious choice,” Jess told the Soaring Tree Frogs.

“I can do it,” Ace said, handing Jess his hat for her to hold.

“Bruno,” the whole Screeching Monkeys tribe said in unison. Bruno smiled proudly and approached the mud pit.

“I nominate myself,” Rocky said to the Rampaging Piranhas.

Before Hillary could protest, Fuega said, “Great, Rocky will go first for us, team.”

“James vs. Ace vs. Bruno vs. Rocky, clearly the men of the tribes,” Nalyd said.

“I’m the tribe’s man,” Will said in the confessional, “Not that idiot Bruno!”

“Go!” Nalyd shouted. James and Ace dove right for the center of the pit, colliding with each other. Bruno picked them both up by their ankles and threw them out of the pit.

“Sorry!” Bruno shouted. Rocky started digging in the mud while Bruno was distracted. “And what do you think you’re doing?” Bruno asked turning his attention to Rocky. As Bruno turned the rest of his body to face Rocky, Rocky pulled a puzzle piece bag out of the mud.

“That’s one bag for the Rampaging Piranhas!” Nalyd announced. “Now make your picks for round two.” Niles, Bozo, Will, and Fuega were chosen for their respective teams. “Go!”

“I can’t do this,” Niles said, “That’s mud! Dirty, filthy, germ-filled mud!”

“Come on, Niles,” Susan said. “Do it for me!” Niles didn’t respond and looked at Susan confused.

“Do it for me!” Jocelyn said.

“Okay,” Niles said immediately. He paused, but then slowly made his way into the mud.

“This is too easy,” Bozo said as she dug through the mud. Fuega and Will were wrestling and throwing mud at each other.

“Get Bozo out of there!” James shouted to Niles.

“But I can’t hit a girl!” Niles shouted back.

“Well, that’s a shame,” Bozo said, standing up. She slapped Niles across the face and went back to digging. Niles stumbled backwards and fell into the mud.

“I’m surrounded by germs!” Niles shouted.

“Got the bag!” Bozo said standing up proudly with the bag. Her team applauded her while the other teams ran in to rescue the injured comrades. “Thank you! You’ve been wonderful audience!”

“One bag for the Soaring Tree Frogs,” Nalyd said, “Round Three!” In the third round, James, Frasier, Elvis, and Hillary went into the pit. Elvis and Hillary got the bag at the same time, but James pulled it out of their hands and got it to his own team.

In the fourth round, Jocelyn, Jess, Audrey, and Betty got into the mud pit. Jocelyn spent the time trying to get a mud bath. Betty and Jess teamed up and buried Audrey in mud. Jess, however, pushed Betty down and grabbed the puzzle bag for herself. “Okay,” Nalyd said, “That is one bag for the Jaguars, two for the Tree Frogs, none for the Monkeys, and one for the Piranhas. Ready for round five?”

Susan, Ace, Bruno, and Rocky got into the mud. Bruno and Rocky teamed up to fight Ace, who threw mud. Susan took this time to grab a puzzle piece bag and get another point for the Charging Jaguars.

In the sixth round, James, Bozo, Will, and Fuega got back into the ring. Bozo pelted the other three people with mud until they couldn’t see. She started digging and grabbed the third and final bag her team needed. Jess immediately started putting it together.

“Okay!” Nalyd said loudly. “This is the final round! Everyone can go in for as long as they want! Go!” Much of the mud had been moved and many bags clear. Audrey, Susan, and Will quickly got bags. “The Charging Jaguars have three bags!” Nalyd said.

“We’re done!” Jess said. Nalyd checked the puzzle.

“The Soaring Tree Frogs got first place! Who will get second and third?” Nalyd announced. Fuega, Will, Elvis, and Betty all grabbed a bag, leaving no more. “Everyone is now working on the puzzle.”

“Done!” Niles announced. Nalyd checked the puzzle and gave Niles a thumbs-up.

Audrey was rapidly putting the puzzle together for the Screeching Monkeys, but the Rampaging Piranhas were close behind with Betty putting the puzzle together.

“Done!” Audrey and Betty shouted. Nalyd decided they said it at the same time and looked at both.

“Okay, the only correct puzzle was Audrey’s puzzle, so she and the Screeching Monkeys win!” Nalyd announced. “Now our first place winners, the Soaring Tree Frogs, will find all the fruit they can eat when they get back to camp, and Rampaging Piranhas I will see you tonight at tribal council.”

When the Piranhas returned to camp nobody immediately spoke up. A minute after they did, Hillary spoke up. “I saw we vote out ‘Spazz,’” she said quickly.

“I agree,” Rocky said nodding.

“Ditto,” Fuega said.

Betty nodded.

“Me?” Spazz asked confused.

“Well you can’t do anything,” Hillary explained.

“Why not a girls alliance? The four of us could be the final four!” Spazz suggested.

“No!” Fuega and Hillary said together.

At tribal council, Nalyd gave everybody a staff. “Okay, go cast your votes, guys,” Nalyd said, “And make it quick I gotta be up early for tomorrow’s challenge.”

Rocky voted for Spazz. “I think this is for your own sake.”

Betty voted for Hillary with a not under the vote that read, “I just can’t vote for ‘Spazz.’ I feel bad for her.”

“I’ll tally the votes,” Nalyd said after everyone had voted. “Once the votes are read, the loser has to get the heck out of here, okay? One vote for ‘Spazz.’ One vote for Rocky. Two votes for ‘Spazz.’ One vote for Hillary.” Hillary gasped. “The fifth person eliminated for Total Drama Amazon is ‘Spazz.’” An intern brought Spazz, who was in a wheelchair, over to Nalyd. “‘Spazz,’” Nalyd said, snuffing her torch, “The tribe has spoken.” Spazz was wheeled away by the intern. “Another night, another one down. All of you, head back to camp.”

Chapter Four – "This is gonna be fun."
''Previously on Total Drama Amazon; The Soaring Tree Frogs were terrified when they found out ‘Bulldog’ left them a little surprise. The Charging Jaguars, despite not being to tribal council for a few days, seem to all have a conflict with each other. Nathaniel decided that Will would be the first to go from the Screeching Monkeys, and Rocky got a major ego boost when Fuega decided Rocky was the Rampaging Piranhas’ new team captain. During the mud-wrestling, bag-retrieving challenge, the Soaring Tree Frogs won the reward and immunity, with the Charging Jaguars and Screeching Monkeys followed suite. The Rampaging Piranhas lost, and voted off ‘Spazz’ because she was useless. Who will be voted off tonight?''

“Okay, let’s get to work guys,” Hillary said when the Rampaging Piranhas tribe returned to their campsite.

“What are you talking about?” Rocky asked sleepily.

“I mean,” Hillary said, “We need to clean up the cabin. It’s a pig stye!” Rocky, Betty, and Fuega Look around and don’t see any mess. “All the bunks are undone, the floor is covered in dirt, and I don’t even want to start about the mess in Rocky’s room.”

“Seriously?” Rocky asked himself in the confessional. “You’re gonna make us start cleaning right after we get beaten up in a challenge and vote somebody off?”

“Hillary, what’s your problem?” Rocky asked as Hillary made her bed. “We just got back from tribal council. I’m going to bed.”

“No you’re not,” Hillary said, sliding in front of the door that led to Rocky’s room.

“And what’s going to stop me?” Rocky asked defiantly.

“Guys!” Fuega shouted putting herself between Rocky and Hillary. “Both of you stop or else I’ll burn this whole cabin! And you have no idea how tempting that is right now.” Fuega held up a lighter that the producers left behind when they gave the Rampaging Piranhas a cabin.

“Put it down, Fuega!” Hillary shouted.

Fuega pulled the trigger on the lighter and a small flame popper out of it. She held it in place.

Betty sat on her bed watching nervously.

“Fuega put it down and clean!” Hillary shouted furiously.

Fuega extended her arm to the bunk beds so that the flame barely missed them.

“You’re bluffing,” Hillary protested.

“Oh, am I?” Fuega said. “I’m the girl who burned down my school’s library when I was five. They thought I was bluffing when I told them I’d do it.”

“Fine,” Hillary said defeated. She stepped aside as Rocky walked into his room and slammed the door. Fuega let go of the trigger on the lighter and the fire went out.

“Okay, g’night!” Fuega said and jumped into her bed. Betty and Hillary looked at each other confused, and then went to bed themselves.

The Charging Jaguars were starving and had been all day. “I’m so hungry,” Jocelyn complained.

“I didn’t think models ate,” Susan muttered.

“What?” Jocelyn asked.

“Nothing,” Susan said quickly.

“James, Miles, come here for a moment,” Jocelyn called to James and Niles who had been in the boys’ hut trying to go to sleep. James and Niles came out of the hut slowly. They were bruised and tired from the challenge. “I need you two to go fishing. I’m really hungry.”

“Why us?” Niles yawned.

“Because I think a guy fishing is really manly,” Jocelyn giggled.

“Well then, what are we waiting for, James?” Niles asked. “Let’s go get this tribe some fish!” Niles immediately ran in the direction of the river he had gotten water from with Susan on the first night.

“Wait, Niles!” James shouted. James ran after Niles.

When the boys were well out of hearing range, Jocelyn began speaking to Susan. “What’s with you drooling over Miles all the time?” Jocelyn asked.

“First of all, his name is Niles with an N,” Susan said, “and secondly I so don’t! I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”

“You totally like him!” Jocelyn said laughing.

Susan blushed. “I do not.”

“Every time he’s around he just stare at him and shouting ‘Do it for me’ at yesterday’s challenge doesn’t help your case.”

“You said the exact same thing.”

“I know. I said it so he’d stop being a baby and do the challenge. I’m hot so I can do that sort of thing. I have Miles wrapped around my little finger and James too. Miles will never like you.”

“I’m going to bed,” Susan growled. She crawled ino the girls hut, but couldn’t fall to sleep. Instead, tears rolled down her face. “It’s true,” she whispered in the darkness.

Niles and James soon returned. They were wet and cold, but they had fish. “Where is Susan?” James asked.

“Oh she’s in the hut,” Jocelyn said casually. “So how did you guys catch these fish?”

“We tied some long grass to sticks and we made a fishing pole,” James explained.

“I caught my first fish ever,” Niles said proudly.

“Great! Why are you two soaking wet?” Jocelyn asked.

“Niles thought he saw a piranha in the water,” James explained, “It was his own reflection. So he jumped up, grabbed me, tripped, and we both tumbled into the water.” Niles laughed at himself as the fish slowly cooked over their small fire pit.

“I’m telling you, Ace, that’s impossible!” Frasier exclaimed at the Soaring Tree Frogs campsite. Ace had been regaling the tribe with another one of his tales.

“And what’s so impossible about it, Frasier?” Ace asked.

“For starters,” Frasier said, “You never explained why those ‘enemy spies’ wanted the baby giant panda in the first place! Secondly, Hawaii is in the Pacific Ocean, not the Atlantic Ocean. And it is impossible to climb into the volcano, and carry the panda out before the volcano erupted!”

“Who cares?” Bozo asked. “That was so awesome! Tell another one, Ace!”

“I’m with Frasier on this one,” Jess said. “It doesn’t make any sense.”

“Let me explain,” Ace said, “They wanted the baby giant panda because it had swallowed a key to a treasure chest! So I’m not good at geography; sue me. And the panda wasn’t deep in the volcano, it was a small panda, and I’m just fast enough!”

“Calm down guys,” Jess said. “Just go to separate sides of the camp, and eat some of the fruit we had, okay? It’s much better than I expected.”

“Fine,” Frasier said. He picked up a lemon, peeled the skin off of it, and took a big bite out of it. “Sour!” Frasier said as his face puckered up. He spit the lemon out as his eyes began watering.

“Awesome!” Bozo exclaimed. She swallowed the whole lemon and made a face so disturbing, the cameraman filming them passed out. “Awesome!”

The Screeching Monkeys had also broken into conflict. Will was on a rampage. He was furious at Elvis, as usual.

“You are an idiot!” Will shouted. “You broke the hut!”

“I’m sorry,” Elvis said meekly.

“When we got back from the challenge,” Audrey said in the confessional, “Elvis tripped and fell right on the boys’ hut. I feel bad for him. He doesn’t deserve Will yelling at him.”

“Why I oughtta-” Will began, but Bruno lifted Will off the ground by his shirt collar. “Put me down!”

“Calm down,” Bruno growled.

Nathaniel, no longer wearing the neck brace, pulled Elvis aside to where he and Audrey were standing. Nathaniel still had a cast on his left arm though. “We want you to join our alliance,” Nathaniel said. “We want to throw the challenge and vote out Will.”

“I don’t know,” Elvis said nervously. He then turned and saw Will beating up a tree. “Deal.”

“This is great,” Nathaniel said in the confessional. “We’re going to sabotage the challenge and then vote off Will for being a raging psycho.”

The next morning, the four tribes came to the challenge field for their fourth challenge. Where there had once been a pit filled with mud, there was now a huge corn maze. Five platforms rose above the corn. From the top one could see from the start to the end of the corn maze; the middle platform was bigger than the others and had Nalyd’s face on it. “Welcome back tribes,” Nalyd said, “As you all see, ‘Spazz’ was voted out last night.”

“Darn it,” Nathaniel whispered. Audrey and Elvis looked at him confused, but Nathaniel said nothing else.

“Today’s challenge is a blind folded maze,” Nalyd explained. “One member from each tribe will shout out directions to their tribe. Also, the three people who are blindfolded on each tribe will also be tied together at the waist. Everybody pick your director. Screeching Monkeys, sit somebody out.”

“Who wants to direct?” Jocelyn asked the Charging Jaguars.

“I think I shouldn’t do it,” James said, “I have a natural ability to sense corn’s presence, so I can go through this backwards, so I'll be more useful in the field.”

“I’m allergic to corn,” Niles said. “So I’ll do the directing.”

Susan was about to wish Niles good luck, but she saw Jocelyn glaring at her.

“Let me shout out directions!” Bozo laughed.

“No!” all of the Soaring Tree Frogs shouted.

“Knowing you you’ll have as all walk straight through the corn and in wrong directions just so you can have a cheap laugh,” Jess said. “I’ll do the directions.”

“Okay,” all the Soaring Tree Frogs said.

“Maybe Bruno should sit out and Will should direct,” Audrey suggested.

“Okay,” Will said.

“Why me?” Bruno asked.

“Because we want you to save your strength for a more physical challenge,” Nathaniel explained.

“Works for me,” Bruno shrugged.

“I’ll shout directions,” Hillary said. “Is everyone okay with that?”

“Yes,” everyone on her team muttered.

“I’m glad I don’t have to deal with Hillary in the corn maze,” Rocky said in the confessional. He changed his voice to a bad imitation of Hillary’s. “Ouch, you stepped on my foot! You guys, hurry up! Look out where you’re going!” His voice changed back to his own. “Betty isn’t so bad and Fuega rocks. This is gonna be fun.”

Niles, Jess, Will, and Hillary were picked to shout directions for their teams. Bruno sat on the platform higher than all the others with Nalyd. “Okay,” Nalyd shouted into his bull horn. “The three tribes who win get a classic reward; a romantic dinner!” There was excited cheering from some of the contestants, while others were less than thrilled. Bob the Leprechaun and Frank the gnome blindfolded everyone and ropes around their waists. They then tied the groups together. Nalyd gave Niles, Jess, Will, and Hillary each a bullhorn. Nalyd shouted through the bullhorn.

“Go forward and take a left,” Niles said meekly. His tribe couldn’t hear him, as he didn’t turn the bullhorn on.

“Smell that?” James asked Jocelyn and Susan.

“Not really,” Jocelyn said.

“Corn,” James sighed. He ran into the maze with the speed of a cheetah. Jocelyn and Susan struggled to keep up. Soon they tripped and James was dragging them.

“Where are you going?” Niles shouted into his bullhorn. Still, no sound came from it. He saw the button to turn it on and a high-pitched sound was omitted from it. “My ears!”

James was in the confessional with his hair covered in corn, and dirt all over him. “I was determined to win! Nalyd didn’t say anything about having to go through the maze the right way.”

“The Charging Jaguars have charged into the lead!” Nalyd announced.

“North, East, North, West,” Jess said into the bullhorn. Her team didn’t move. Jess sighed and said, “Straight, left, straight, right, left, right, left, straight, right.” Her team complied and made it far quickly.

“And the Soaring Tree Frogs are soaring through this maze!”

“We’ve got this,” Will said rolling his eyes. “Okay, guys. Go forward about ten steps then take a left.” Elvis, Nathaniel, and Audrey walked ten steps forwards, then took a right. “No, idiots, left.” Elvis, Nathaniel, and Audrey turned to their let and went down another wrong path. “What are you doing, numbskulls? Go back!” The continued and turned right, reaching a dead end.

“Wow,” Nalyd commented to Bruno, “Your team stinks, dude.”

“I don’t know what was going on down there,” Bruno said in the confessional, “But I knew Nathaniel was up to no good. I’ve seen him talking about alliances with Audrey and Elvis. I should have known!”

“Run!” Hillary shouted. “Take a right, okay, good. Now a left, great job. Take a right and then a left. No, not yet. Now! Left!”

“This is easy,” Fuega said before being hit in the head with a piece of corn thrown from Hillary.

“Focus!” Hillary shouted.

“The Charging Jaguars have won first place!” Nalyd announced.

“Wonderful!” Niles shouted. He started walking towards where he thought the ladder was, but almost fell off the platform. He then found the right side to get off and slowly returned to the ground.

“Yes!” Susan said excitedly. She jumped up and down in excitement until she caught Jocelyn glaring at her.

“You can have Niles at the dinner,” Jocelyn whispered to Susan. “I’ve got another guy in mind for myself.” Susan shivered as Jocelyn walked by.

“Coming in second place,” Nalyd announced, “are the Soaring Tree Frogs!”

“Awesome!” Bozo shouted taking off the blindfold. She hugged Ace and Frasier.

“Bozo,” Frasier said, “You’re making me kind of uncomfortable.”

“And the last tribe to be safe,” Nalyd said, “is, not surprisingly, the Rampaging Piranhas!”

“We win!” Fuega said happily. She high-fived Betty and Rocky.

“I knew we could do it,” Rocky said.

“So,” Nalyd said, “by default the Screeching Monkeys lose.”

“You idiots!” Will shouted. He threw his bullhorn at Elvis’ head and barely missed.

“Which means one of you Monkeys will be voted off,” Nalyd said.

“I am not a monkey!” Will shouted. He panted heavily and beat the platform he stood on.

“Wanna bet?” Nalyd asked.

When the Screeching Monkeys returned to camp, Bruno confronted Elvis. “Listen, Elvis,” Bruno said, “I know you and Nathaniel and Audrey threw the challenge. And I know you guys wanna vote off Will, but, hey, he actually did the challenge.”

“So what am I supposed to do, ditch my alliance?” Elvis asked.

“Will is voting for Nathaniel tonight,” Bruno said, “and I am doing the same. Vote with us Elvis. You don’t wanna hang around that video game nerd. Besides, he’s got a broken arm. You’ll be doing him a favor.”

“I’ll think about it,” Elvis said.

That night at Tribal Council, Nalyd gave everyone a torch and gave them the speech about torches representing life, and whoever is eliminated must leave immediately. “Go cast your votes,” Nalyd finally said.

Nathaniel voted for Will. “You remind me of Knuckles the Echidna. Explosive, unpredictable, and dangerous.”

Will voted for Nathaniel. “I can’t believe you’d lose the challenge on purpose. But now you will pay for it.”

“I’ll tally the votes,” Nalyd said after everyone voted. He pulled a piece of paper from the jar. “One vote for Will. Two votes for Will.” Will glared at Elvis. “One vote for Nathaniel. Two votes for Nathaniel.” Nathaniel wasn’t surprised he’d be voted for. “The sixth person eliminated from Total Drama Amazon is… Will.”

“What?” Will shouted. “You bunch of traitors! Why I oughtta-” Before Will could continued, Bob the Leprechaun shot Will with a tranquilizer dart. Nalyd snuffed Will’s torch.

“Will,” Nalyd said, “the tribe has spoken. Well, six people have been sent home and tomorrow you will be greeted with a big surprise. All of you, head back to camp.”

Chapter Five – “You let us get together just to tear us apart?”
''Previously on Total Drama Amazon; Hillary and Rocky’s conflict reached a boiling point when Hillary became a nitpicker about cleanliness. Jocelyn made Susan cry with some comments about Susan’s attraction to Niles, which I, honestly, don’t understand. Frasier and Ace got in another fight about Ace’s stories. Jess acted as peacemaker, while Bozo sided with Ace. Elvis joined Nathaniel and Audrey’s alliance, and the three-some decided to throw the challenge and get rid of Will who was driving everyone crazy. During the challenge, the Screeching Monkeys lost while the other three tribes made it through the corn maze challenge and won a romantic dinner reward. Despite advice from Bruno, Elvis stuck by his new alliance, and Will was voted out. Who will be voted out tonight?''

“Well, that was easy,” Nathaniel said when the Screeching Monkeys returned to camp after voting off Will.

“Yeah, he had it coming,” Elvis said nervously. Elvis saw Bruno glaring at him disappointedly.

“Elvis messed up, dude,” Bruno said in the confessional, “Nathaniel is bad news. That nerd should have stayed in his mother’s basement playing Mario. I guess I could just be upset because I will go if we lose. But I’m strong. I’m a big guy and maybe I could win the challenge on my own. That would be so cool!”

“So what do you think is happening over at the romantic dinner?” Audrey asked.

“Don’t know, don’t care,” Elvis yawned. “I’m going to bed.”

“We haven’t had a bed for four days,” Bruno said, “More like you’re going to ground.”

“Yeah, really,” Elvis laughed. “Night all.” He crawled into the boys’ hut but didn’t sleep.

“I just kept seeing Will being dragged away by Bob the Leprechaun,” Elvis said in the confessional. “I couldn’t sleep because of it. I felt sort of bad. We screwed up, not him.”

“I bet Rocky and Fuega are sitting together,” Nathaniel laughed.

“Who would you sit with if we won the challenge, Nathaniel?” Audrey asked.

Nathaniel blushed. “I don’t know. Maybe I’d sit with just any girl and try to use that time to make an alliance.”

“Oh, okay,” Audrey said. “I’d probably sit with a cute guy with a nice tan, and muscles, and he’d be sweet and-” she paused when she saw Bruno and Nathaniel staring at her awkwardly. “Nevermind,” she finished.

“Nathaniel, when are you getting the cast off your arm?” Bruno asked.

“The medics say it should be off around day twelve,” Nathaniel answered. “This is gonna be a tough week.”

At the romantic dinner, there were six tables with two chairs at each. A candle sat on each table with small flames dancing on the wick. Bob the Leprechaun played a violin while Frank the Gnome acted as waiter. James sat with Jocelyn, Niles with Susan, Frasier with Jess, Ace with Hillary, and Rocky with Betty. Bozo and Fuega were the only ones left and decided to sit together.

“I needed to make sure James was under my control,” Jocelyn said in the confessional. “So now, Susan will go home if we lose. It’s basic math. Three against one means three loses! I mean, one loses. I’m not the best at math I guess.” She laughed awkwardly at herself.

“Miss Jocelyn,” James said, “You look lovely tonight, if I may say so.”

“Sure,” Jocelyn giggled. “You were beastly in the challenge today. I know with you on the tribe we can win.”

“I’ve never been called ‘beastly’ before,” James said in the confessional. “I wasn’t sure if I should be offended or not.

“Well, um, thank you,” James said awkwardly.

“You would’ve voted with me if we lost though, right?” Jocelyn asked. She put her hands on James’ hands.

“Absolutely,” he said. He blushed.

“What are they doing?” Niles asked himself. Despite sitting with Susan, he was only paying attention to James and Jocelyn.

“I wanted to sit with Jocelyn,” Niles said in the confessional, “but since she wanted to sit with James I decided to let her. I sat with Susan so I could get a good angle of watching James steal Jocelyn from me.”

“This is so romantic,” Susan said happily.

“Yeah, it’s great,” Niles said, not caring.

“I’m really happy you decided to sit with me,” Susan giggled.

“Oh my gosh, she touched his hand!” Niles gasped.

“I really like you, Niles,” Susan said. She gasped. “Did I just say that out loud? Wait, why do I feel awkward? This is a date! Right?”

“Okay, yeah,” Niles said. He had no idea what she had just said.

“I didn’t want to be rude,” Niles said in the confessional, “But I was just so jealous of James and Jocelyn!”

Frasier and Jess sat making snide comments about the food and the other contestants. “The spaghetti,” Frasier said, “is so leather-like, that one could make a jacket from it.” Jess laughed.

“Look at Ace’s hat,” Jess whispered, “that is so tacky.”

“Good one,” Frasier laughed. “Oh, you are too funny.”

“Please,” Jess said, “You’re wit is as sharp as Bozo’s is dull.”

“I really like Jess,” Frasier said in the confessional. “Perhaps I shall pursue this relationship.”

Ace and Hillary sat together in an awkward silence.

“I’m not actually attracted to Hillary,” Ace said in the confessional, “I just decided to sit with her because, as two of the team captains, we should discuss the future of this game.”

“So,” Hillary said, “what do you like to do?”

“Risk my life on a daily basis,” Ace said. “But listen, I am not sitting with you to be on a date with you. I think that as team captains we need to team up.”

“How so?” Hillary asked, sounding intrigued.

“I think that if you and I have a cross tribal alliance and both make it to the merge we could take over the game,” Ace explained. “I already have Bozo following me, who on your team would join you?”

“Betty,” Hillary said, “she has no free will. She’ll be easy to rope into an alliance.”

“Excellent,” Ace said. He raised his glass in a toast, “To the final two.”

“The final two,” Hillary smiled evilly.

“This stinks,” Rocky said to Betty. For the whole half hour the dinner had been going on Betty hadn’t said one thing to Rocky. She had only listened to him. “I mean I don’t like anybody here but still I got stuck with you, Betty. No offense. I think I’d rather be with Fuega, she’s sort of hot. Hey, that’s sort of funny. Hot! And she’s a pyromaniac!” Rocky started laughing. Betty glared at him.

“I missed you so much,” Bozo told Fuega. “You are like the only fun person on the whole island!”

“You are way fun too!” Fuega replied cheerfully.

“Everyone on my tribe is a real stick in the mud,” Bozo said. She made a gagging sound.

“Mine too!” Fuega empathized.

“I can’t wait for the merge so we can be on the same tribe,” Bozo said, “that would be awesome!”

“Too much fun!” Fuega laughed. “I can’t wait!”

The next day, the four tribes returned to the challenge field and saw two flags, one navy-colored and the other was magenta-colored. A container filled with one-hundred bucket-fulls of sand satin the middle of the challenge field. Two buckets were at the base of the container. Next to each flag was a huge scale. One side of each scale was empty, while the other had a small tiki-like item in it. “Welcome everyone,” Nalyd said. “Last night Will was voted out. However, today the four tribes will change to two. Boys stand in front of the navy flag; girls stand in front of the magenta one. You are now the Alpha Males, and the Battling Females.”

“Alpha Males?” Frasier asked in the confessional. “That’s original.”

“Battling Females is an okay name,” Hillary said in the confessional. “It’s too bad though that Ace’s plan won’t work now.”

“That is just evil!” Susan said angrily in the confessional. “I finally had a date with Niles! You let us get together just to tear us apart?”

“We’re on the same tribe!” Fuega squealed, hugging Bozo.

“I knew we would be!” Bozo said happily.

“It’s like they were separated at birth,” Jess said.

“The boys will live at the Charging Jaguars’ campsite,” Nalyd said, “and the girls will get to live at the Rampaging Piranhas’ campsite.”

“We get to stay in a cabin!” Jocelyn said excitedly.

“That’s awesome!” Audrey said happily.

“I’m so glad not to be the only girl on the tribe,” Audrey said in the confessional. “I love being only with girls! No, wait, I like guys! I didn’t mean it like that!”

“I miss my old tribe,” Rocky said in the confessional. “A lot more girls over there!” he laughed.

“Now, for today’s challenge,” Nalyd said. Everyone went quiet for Nalyd to explain. “Today you will send a member from your team out to get a bucket of sand from that big container over there. Then you will dump the bucket of sand into the empty side of your team’s scale. Then you send out another person and repeat the process. First team to get the immunity tiki above the sand wins! Go!”

Bruno and Bozo immediately started running. Bruno got to the container first, and also got a bucket of sand into the boys’ scale first. Bozo soon followed.

Bruno and Bozo tagged Rocky and Fuega respectively. Rocky tripped and Fuega took the lead. Rocky got up quickly, but Fuega had gotten a bucket of sand into the scale and tagged Betty before Rocky could do so. When Rocky caught up, he tagged James.

James dashed ahead of Betty, erasing the lead Fuega had created. “Hurry up, Betty!” Hillary shouted. James got a bucket of sand and put it in the scale. He ran ahead and tagged Ace.

“I’ve got this, guys,” Ace said, “I survived three weeks buried in quicksand.”

“No you didn’t!” Frasier shouted. Ace continued running and by the time he got the bucket of sand, Betty was half way back to the scale.

“Betty was really slow in the challenge,” Audrey said in the confessional. “I mean, it’s not her fault, but rather her than me.”

Betty and Ace got sand in the scales at relatively the same time. They tagged Hillary and Niles, respectively. While Hillary ran quickly with determination to win, Niles ran like a baffled, three-legged dear.

“There goes our lead,” Elvis said. Hillary got the bucket of sand onto the scale before Niles, but Niles finished only seven seconds afterwards. Hillary tagged Susan, and Niles tagged Elvis.

Elvis caught up with Susan, but never passed her. The two were tied up until they tagged Frasier and Audrey.

Frasier was slow, but not as slow as Niles. Audrey got in the lead, and beat Frasier to the tank.

“Don’t worry guys,” Ace said reassuringly, “They still have Jocelyn and Jess. We’ve got this. All we have left after Frasier is Nathaniel.”

“Run, Frasier, run!” James shouted.

“I get it,” Nathaniel laughed in the confessional. “‘Run, Frasier, run’ is like ‘Run, Forrest, run!’ That’s really funny!”

“Tag me, tag me,” Jocelyn said, extending her arm. Audrey tagged Jocelyn and Jocelyn started walking.

“What are you doing?” Jess asked. “Don’t walk, run! Hurry up and come back so you can tag me!”

Frasier tagged Nathaniel and Nathaniel started running.

“Nathaniel!” Elvis shouted. “Run like Mario does with an invincibility star!” The other boys’ all stared at him. “So I’ve played Mario before, sue me.”

Nathaniel was a few feet behind Jocelyn when she got a bucket of sand into the scale. When Nathaniel got it in, the sand finally outweighed the tiki.

“The Alpha Males win immunity!” Nalyd shouted. The boys lifted Nathaniel onto their shoulders and carried him back to camp while the girls quietly, and sadly, went to their new campsite and home.

“So who are we voting out?” Susan asked when the girls got to the new Battling Female’s campsite.

“I say we vote out Betty,” Audrey said. “She’s slow, weak, and doesn’t talk.” She turns and sees Betty sitting right next to her. “My bad.”

“Well, that makes sense to me,” Hillary said.

“Same here,” Fuega agreed.

“Ditto,” Bozo said.

Betty looked scared and shook her head.

“We’re sorry, Betty, but nothing you can say will make us change our minds,” Jess said. Betty looked sad. Jess brought Betty into Rocky’s old room of the cabin to talk privately. “Listen, I think we should vote off Hillary,” Jess said. “She’s too mean.” Betty nodded. “I’ll talk to Audrey and Susan to see if they’ll join our new alliance.” Betty hugged Jess and ran out of the room happily.

That night at Tribal Council, Nalyd was ready for the tears that would likely be shed by the loser. “Tonight you will vote off one of your own members, Battling Females,” Nalyd said. “Go cast your votes.”

Audrey voted for Hillary. “Jess and Betty are right; you are mean and way too bossy.”

Hillary voted for Betty. “You screwed up. Sorry, but that’s just the way it goes.”

“I’ll tally the votes,” Nalyd said. He took the container of votes and started reading. “One vote for Betty. Two votes for Betty. One vote for Hillary.” Hillary laughed at Betty’s attempt to vote her out. “Two votes for Hillary.” Hillary gasped, realizing one of the girls had gone and voted with Betty. “Three votes for Hillary.”

“Traitors,” Hillary whispered.

“Three votes for Betty,” Nalyd said. “Three votes for Betty and three votes for Hillary.” Nalyd picked up the last piece of paper, to reveal who lost. “The seventh person voted out of Total Drama Amazon is… Betty. Betty, bring me your torch.” Betty complied and Nalyd snuffed her torch like those who had gone before her. “Betty, the tribe has spoken.”

Betty walked down the dirt trail out of Tribal Council. “Any last words?” the cameraman asked Betty. Betty shook her head and a tear fell to the ground.

“Fifteen people left,” Nalyd told the remaining Battling Females, “After today who knows how many more surprises will come. All of you, head back to camp.”

Theme Song
(It will be done later. I don't want two people smiling and hanging out in the theme song if later I decide to make a conflict.)

Nalyd's Pre-Season Bets
Yo! It's Nalyd here, the host of the new season of Total Drama Amazon! First of all, this is a very interesting cast. No matter who wins, this will be an EPIC season!

Let's start with our upper-class nerd, Frasier. Now, Frasier has a lot of fine tastes, and that could get in the way when he's in the dirt, freezing cold, and eating bugs. Why he will win: He's good at public speaking. If he can make it to the final two, he can convince the jury quite easily. Why he won't win: He hates lying and liars, so chances are he will be too trusting and run head first into a blindside.

Next up, we have Niles, our rich germaphobe. Now, last season we had another rich kid, but Niles is hilarious. He doesn't want to be, but this poor kid just doesn't belong out there. Why he will win: Pity. If these other contestants feel any pity of Niles, then they will let him go far, and that is what can seal the deal, and give him a shot. Why he won't win: Nobody ever takes pity on anybody in this game. When they see him pass out after seeing a spider, they'll kick him out. Also, you can't win if you die on day one. Also, he's already rich.

Our third contestant is James, a classic farm boy. He's really strong, and really nice. This could be a winning combination! Why he will win: He's strong in challenges, and really nice. Would you vote somebody like that out? Why he won't win: He's strong in challenges, and really nice. People, would you keep somebody like that around? I really hope you wouldn't. James is a good guy, but he is a major threat.

Nathaniel, the video-gamer, has a lot to learn about the real world. He tells me he spends a large amount of time in his basement playing Mario. This kid is really going to struggle. Why he will win: He's a smart guy, who can probably convince people to join his alliances. I can picture it now. "If you join my alliance, I'll let you play Mario Party 18 with me." Why he won't win: He's weak, and socially awkward. He will really struggle making his team see the value in him, and then not having anybody to back him up will make matters worse.

Fifth contestant is "Spazz", the accident prone girl. This poor girl is coming into the game with a broken leg! We told her to quit but she won't... Why she will win: She isn't a threat if she can make it to the merge, and if she can beg for the pity vote, she might have a shot. Why she won't win: What tribe will keep her after the first tribal council? She's doomed! She better hope she either has somebody worse than her on her team, or that her team never loses.

Due to his prankster personality, "Bulldog" will be making a few enemies. Even during auditions he was messing with people, hiding stuff, the usual. Why he will win: If the others have a good sense of humor, he will fit in well. As long as he knows when to stop. Why he won't win: "Bulldog" doesn't really get other people and can't take a hint. He should make for some interesting television though.

She's awkward, she's quirky, and she is our seventh contestant; Audrey. By awkward, we mean she is socially challenged. She talks to much, she doesn't understand body language, she will struggle in this super competitive game. Why she will win: She genuinely cares about people, and if she can find somebody who understands and respects that, she will have a good shot. Why she won't win: Not a lot of these teens understand the deep levels of Audrey's mind, and might think she's odd or unlikable.

Now for the beautiful, Jocelyn. You should have seen the young interns drooling over her all through auditions. If she can use this skill on the boys, she has a great chance. Why she will win: Everyone knows she's hot and will do anything for her! Why she won't win: Girls are totally jealous of her, so they will probably vote her out first change they get. Sad, isn't it?

Contestant numero nine-o is none other than Lacey, the lazy slob. She really is. During auditions she made a mess of the entire studio! We originally mistook her for a pumpkin. Why she will win: If she at least tries and isn't too annoying, she may have a chance. Why she won't win: She's lazy and unlikable. I don't know what possessed her to join, but she better be good.

Bruno is our muscle-man. Bruno is incredibly powerful. He is definitely the single strongest person ever on the show. Maybe stronger than Elian]! Why he will win: He seems like a nice guy. A socially and physically strong player is something to watch out for. Why he won't win: If these people are smart and figure out when the merge is going to be, they'll vote him out so he won't get individual immunity.

Elvis is a guy who's never gone ten minutes without his iPod. I heard a rumor he can't sleep without it. This should be interesting. Why he will win: Other than loving music a little too much there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him. If he can get over the lack of music, he should use that as a reason to have the jury vote for him. Why he won't win: The guy working camera two and I have a bet going that Elvis won't last one week. We are usually right about these things.

Ace, the adventurer, is an interesting guy. He claims not to be afraid of anything, but somebody started a rumor he's scared of snakes. I don't know, honestly. He claims to have gone sky diving, climbed Mt. Everest, and paddled up the Mississippi River. I don't believe the sky diving part. Why he will win: If he's telling the truth, he's a born survivalist and he will be able to help everyone. Why he won't win: If he's lying, he's gonna be in trouble out there and might even quit.

Next is Will, the social-flopper. We saw him beating on this intern, and then asking for the intern to help him carry some stuff. This guy has issues. Why he will win: If he is only mean to people who hated him first, he might be fine. Why he won't win: I don't think he can do it. This guy has some issues.

The female nerd of the group is definitely Jess. She is also the genius. She has an IQ of 400, or something like that. She has been known to multiply four-digit numbers in her head. Why she will win: If she uses her brains for good, people will want her around for mental challenges. Why she won't win: If she is a sarcastic girl, nobody will want her around.

Hillary is a very bossy girl. However, she is a perfectionist so she "always" knows what to aim for. Why she will win: If she is usually right, the others will want to keep her around. Why she won't win: She thinks she's a leader. I haven't seen her lead anybody, so as far as I know, she doesn't have a clue what she's doing.

Fuega almost got us shut down. She almost set the entire show headquarters on fire. And when we got out to the Amazon, she almost burned down tribal council and her team's hut. (Oops, I may have said too much on this one...) Why she will win: If we have a fire-making challenge, she is guaranteed to dominate. And then if she can control herself, she might win her team over. Why she won't win: If Philip, our other mentally unstable contestant, couldn't make it then she definitely won't.

The show's first ever circus freak is Bozo. She's really weird. She doesn't like the term "freak." She has lots of quirks. Why she will win: She's got skills. Maybe she'll be good in challenges. Why she won't win: I hope this isn't a bias group, because I'd hate for Bozo to go because of a bad first impression. That would be a sad way for anybody to go.

Our quiet contestant is Betty. She has some twisted theory that she will win because Dyl won. Dyl had something she doesn't; Dyl had the hat. Why she will win: Maybe she will be quiet enough not to offend anybody. Perhaps the lack of words beforehand, she can use a lot of big words at the final tribal council. Why she won't win: She might be too quiet, and people will be paranoid around her. I know I would be! Nobody is that quiet without some ulterior motive.

Mariana is our first contestant who doesn't speak English. Literally, all she knows is "Hi, my name is Mariana," "Where is the bathroom?" and "What is this (topic) of which you speak?" She can't even say "I am voting for (person)." That's sad. Why she will win: Her only hope is that another contestant speaks Spanish. That is the only way she can connect with them. Why she won't win: I don't know who speaks another language, so if nobody does then she is doomed. Worse than quiet girl.

Ed is a player. Well, at least he thinks her is. A lot of our girl interns were hit on by him, and all were disgusted. Why he will win: If he can actually talk the talk, he might sway the girls to vote with him. Let's hope his man-boobs don't get in the way. Why he won't win: He's been known to offend women. So if he offends this group of girls he'd go quickly.

Our arrogant athlete is Rocky. I have yet to actually see him do anything, but maybe he is great. He sure seems to like letting people know he's great. Why he will win: He's an athlete which means he'll be great in challenges. When it comes to the merge, he should dominate. Why he won't win: Like Bruno, his teammates might want him out before the merge. If is isn't his strength, it might be his attitude that will cost him the game.

Last, and probably least, is Susan the nice girl. I say that because nice guys finish last, so where do nice girls end up? She seems nice enough. Why she will win: Kindness is helpful. Jessica was nothing but nice and she won. Will it happen again? Perhaps her personality could help her in the final tribal council. Why she won't win: Again, nice guys finish last.

Well, those are my opinions. I was already out there and know who wins but... oops, I shouldn't have said that.
