[canonically47]

evil version of that previous anon: and what were your LEAST favorite parts of each of those seasons?

sorry i got to this so late! buuut

total drama

season 1: leshawna's elimination. just... utter bullshit. closely followed by geoff's. also utter bullshit. in fact heather's whole plot armor was meh

season 2: sorry guys but courtney's entire arc. i can't stand her in TDA. she's meh to okay at best in TDI and fine until the gwuncan stuff in TDWT, after that i just can't even. she's so annoying sorry <//3

season 3: EZEKIEL'S MUTANT ARC COME ONNN MY MAN DESERVES BETTER LET HIM BE HAPPY FUCK YOU

season 4: the all-men finale. we should've gotten a zoey vs cameron finale. boo

season 5: the fact that it exists. i have so many problems with it, it's hard to narrow it down to just one single part i hated most, but there is one! i hated how every character was dumbed down. heather just telling alejandro she had the idol. alejandro just telling mal he had proof he was evil. many eliminations. the fact that the final five was... well, that. but most, i hated mal's arc and how mike was 'cured' of DID by pressing a button. i won't speak much on it since it's nowhere near my expertise nor business as a singlet but i would imagine that is. not how it fucking works. at all and just such a sad sterotyped thing to add an eViL alter to the poor guy just to give him more substance. plus i've discussed this with a mutual before but mal just feels like max taken seriously by the narrative. yeah i hate this season there's a reason it gets trampled in my fic

season 6: there was so much potential for max to be a hero and stand up to scarlett. like. so much. i love him he deserved better. that's not the worst tho and if you're new here let me tell you I FUCKING HATE DAVE. OKAY. i have a BIG issue with that guy which is half because he reminds me of some asshole i know irl and half because he just fucking sucks. i don't get any dave ship, any dave love, anything at all. there is nothing to like about him. he is genuinely one of the very few total drama characters that i can't even make up the substance he lacks. just. fuck dave

season 7 (RR): the daters and best friends fell so flat for me in different ways. the daters were just so annoying and i couldn't have been happier at their elimination. the best friends just felt so forced to me. i mean i'm also a romance-repulsed(-ish, not always, it's complicated) aromantic but oh my goddd... they dragged on for sooo loooongggggggg

season 8: the jurasic fart episode. also how chase treated emma. again fuck these allos /j

season 9: PRILEB. OKAY LISTEN. i fucking LOVE prileb BUT i also fucking HATEEE them. they could've been so good if priya was just eliminated earlier. caleb could've had more to him than priya's misunderstood boyfriend, he could've made alliances and friends, but noooo just give him an entire miscommunication arc FUCK YOU yeah prileb could've been so good if it was good (total drama catchphrase)

disventure camp

season 1: fiore's betrayal to alec felt like terrible writing to me and i'll still stand by that. a character like fiore needs more than one side and alec was that other, softer, caring side. and they threw it all away for shock value! <//3 i really hope these two make up :( i miss them so much. oh also the downfall of tomjake like what the fuck happened oh my

season 2: some challenges were... creepy and weird to say the least. spin the wheel to see who to kiss? my aro ass could never. and when kristal indirectly outed aiden during the dares challenge? like, this yo host? trevor would never <3

season 3: whatever the fuck riya and connor, as well as tom and jake, as well as ally and hunter, as well as- FUCK IT WHATEVER THE FUCK THE COUPLES HAVE GOING ON. YES ALL OF THEM EXcept gabellie. keep going my loves you're doing great

what are your top ten hetero ships? too much discussion about all of these fruity gay ships lately

Yes. Too much fruitiness is going around lately.

Gwuncan. The story line was perfect, and they should've stayed together during All Stars. That is my only critique of the season

Skave. I thought it was very cute when Dave tried to kill Sky during the finale. I wish we got to see more of him like that.

Chemma. Easily my favorite couple to come out from this new season. But also, Chase deserves someone better than Emma.

Gidgette. But I am talking Action Gidgette. It was amazing to watch them make out with each other and have it be their only personality traits.

Beth x Harold. The kiss they shared in Action while covered in vomit? The most romantic thing I have ever seen.

Courtney x Cameron. Once again, the kiss they shared in All Stars was easily the best part of the entire season. I wish we got more of those 2 and not Scottney.

Nemma. Because Noah is straight.

Coderra. So cute. It was very cute to watch Sierra do all of those things to Cody. My favorite part of World Tour outside of the gwuncan plot.

Scax. I wish they became canon. They could've been evil together. But they were very cute to watch.

Bridgoah. Every since I got that ask about them, I can see the appeal of them. I love them very much.

The Ultimate Delinquent And The Ultimate Heartbreaker (Full Gwuncan Story: TDDRI) (Part 1)

SPOILERS FOR TOTAL DRAMA DANGANRONPA ISLAND (Mind the tags)

But then someone else so happens to be in the back as well.

She's one to be in the shadows, but she won't even look me in the eye anymore. She's still dressed in all black, with a few blue and green trims here and there, still with her classic teal bangs for hair. I know already she doesn't want to talk, not after what I did to her.

There was a girl I used to get along with well, a goth girl named Gwen Ellis. I always thought she was pretty, but wasn't planning on pursuing anything with her. She was... the only person who was willing to put aside the fact that I was a criminal and just be there for me. It was something Courtney never gave me, and by the time Courtney tried to use me for a victory in Total Drama, I learned about the gossip online that Gwen had feelings for me. So in the third season, I took advantage of that, and pursued attraction towards her. I don't know what my intention was back then, to get away from Courtney, that I actually loved Gwen, to say 'f**k you Trent, she's mine now', to just... get away from life. I don't know. All I know is that it only made things worse, first Courtney hated me and tried to kill Gwen, then Courtney went with Scott to use him, Gwen turned her back on me when I saw the red flags there, and those two girls became friends solely to dump on me... Next thing I know, they're happy that I got arrested, and never wanted to see me again.

It's kind of hard to say who's fault it is. Maybe it's mine, since I kissed Gwen. Maybe it's Courtney's, since she was using me first. Maybe it's Gwen's, since she obliged. Maybe it was all for the sake of the reality show ratings. Either way, Gwen hates me. So much so that when before she wouldn't care I was a criminal, now that's the only thing she cares about when looking at me.

She dumped a musician named Trent on national TV, which stirred up so much drama on her. Then she went with me and caused all of that garbage. From there, that cycle never stopped for her. She's dated nearly twenty two guys total in her life now, and she's broken up with every single one of them for several reasons. Some were assholes, some weren't her type, sometimes it was just her being stubborn. But now it's pretty much a cycle she's never escaped.

That's all we know her as now, the Ultimate Heartbreaker.

"Hey you," Gwen finally says quietly at me, without even looking in my direction. "Yes, swe-Ellis?" I almost called her sweetheart. If I actually said that, I'd likely get a boot to the balls, or worse. "Is there a reason why you're here?" Gwen asks me, where she adds, "Chris must be a top tier bitch then, allowing you to return. Or myself, for that matter."

"It was uh... it was mandatory," I try to say to her, knowing she's not taking my presence well. Gwen still doesn't look me in the eye, and makes it clear, "If you're gonna be here, stand as far away as you can from me."

I don't know why she's saying this. My best assumption is that she hates me. I deserve it.

She says nothing else to me, and so I awkwardly step away to the fountain, trying to take a seat there and chill out. I would, if it weren't for another dude to be next to me and looking up from his book to mock me.

~~~

"Either way, we have to oblige," Leshawna adds, "Besides, we should be curious what this new season is going to be about." "Not at all Leshawna," Gwen snarls when she walks by, grabbing Leshawna's wrist to pull her away from us. Specifically me.

Gwen is kind of right either way. If I'm worried about something, that's not good. But it's not like we have a choice.

~~~

"You found out all of this from just scaling the fences?" I ask in amazement. I can't help but smirk and say, "Impressive."

To which Gwen snatches the paper back and scoffs, "Save your compliments."

Geez, I give her a compliment and she spits it in my face. How rude. What? Does she think I'm trying to hit on her again?

~~~

I go on to DJ, Cody, Geoff, and they all have the same answers. They don't know, or they don't want to talk to me. That last one is especially true with the last person by the plaza. Gwen.

"You seen Heather?" I ask, where Gwen hesitates and gives me a cold glare before answering, "She's over by the beach... I think?" She turns away from me and claims, "I'm only telling you so you have an excuse to leave."

Which prompts me to leave. If Gwen doesn't want to talk, fine. I don't care right now.

~~~

Lindsay and Tyler were both already at the plaza by the time we all got there. A few minutes later, Cody got Gwen as well. Nobody can believe the news we had to give.

"There he is!" Courtney shouts, spotting Chris by the fountain of the plaza. He turns around to grin at us, as if he can't read our grieving faces. "Oh hi campers! How you all doing?!"

Courtney jabs a finger at him bitterly, asking "What the hell is the meaning of this?! What did you do to Heather?!"

"I didn't do anything," Chris says innocently, "I simply watched on camera what happened, and let me say, it's not my fault."

"Is she okay?!" Bridgette begins the massive wave of questions.

"Where can I get an axe like that?!" Izzy asks in delight.

"What is with all the blood?!" DJ asks in horror.

"Is she really dead?" Gwen asks monotoned. She didn't see the body yet.

My mind flashes to the body itself briefly, and it makes me stomp on the ground and scream "Can everyone shut up?!" I'm breathing hard, making Bridgette ask "Are you okay?"

"She's dead! Okay?! Why don't you face the f*****g facts?!" I scold, "She's dead! Heather is dead! She's not coming back!"

"As if my barf wasn't obvious..." Noah rolls his eyes, solidifying "But yes. Heather is dead."

It already sounds bad coming from me, but coming from everyone else... I feel some black sickness rolling up my spine. It explodes out of me when I grab a running Gwen.

"Let go of me!" she tries to fight back my grip on her arm, "I don't believe this! I don't believe for a second that she's..."

"Check if you want! It changes nothing!" I shout at her, "Heather is dead!"

"Think about it Gwen, what do you think will change if you of all people see it?" Izzy asks, where Gwen argues "And what good is it to just yell at Chris?! Even that's not gonna change it!"

~~~

Coming out of the shed, I look to see the others staring around going over notes. Seeing Gwen leaning by the corner, I might as well try to talk to her. But I already know what she's going to say.

"You think I'm the killer, right?" I ask, already knowing the answer. Sure enough, she says bluntly, "Correct."

And she wasn't even at the party, so... "Well, that doesn't make you off the hook, too. You know that?" I bring up, where Gwen looks over her shoulder and away from me. She claims, "I wasn't there. You guys decided to start killing each other, and I was not there when it happened. So really, that should tell you how Heather's death has nothing to do with me."

No it doesn't. Gwen could have easily snuck into the Mess Hall, killed Heather, and snuck out again. Those two always had beef with each other, so why wouldn't Gwen kill Heather for how much the latter mistreated her?

Gwen sighs, clear sorrow on her face. She adds, "Heather was a bitch. She always was... but what happened to her was... nothing short of horrible. And as much as I want it to be you, how much I want them to be right about you being the killer... I know it's not going to be that easy."

"Seriously?" Gwen... wants it to be me, but doesn't think it's me? That's... better than nothing I guess.

"Duncan, it's not as easy as blaming one person and being done with it, even if that person is you," Gwen tells me, the first time she's looked me in the eye since we saw each other again. "Everyone plays a part in the bad stuff that happens. There's never one blackened."

I have no idea what she's talking about. The whole point of being here is to find a killer. What? Does she think there's more than one culprit?

After realizing I can't counter that, Gwen turns away again, ordering me, "Just... go. If you can, prove me wrong. Prove to me you didn't kill her. But leave me out of your argument."

~~~

Well, just because the axe did the fatal blow, doesn't mean the knife wasn't used at all." I point out. Gwen jabs, "Oh? I see, so you used two different weapons to confuse us, is that it?!"

"Wha-?! No! Did you not hear me?!" I exclaim

~~~

"And to think she trusted Duncan with that warning knowledge!" Gwen rolls her eyes, "No wonder she died!"

"Hey!" I cry, "Not cool!"

~~~

"So that's how the blackout was caused!" | double down, only for someone to shout,

"THAT'S THE DUMBEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD!!"

Gwen.

"Let me clarify that as well!" She argues.

I can only groan, "Oh crud..." I know where this is going.

"You're saying the person just... blocked a wire?!"

She makes her argument, "That makes no sense! How did they even get in the electrical panel? And! How would they even block the wire without standing in front of it?!"

You're kidding me, right? That's your argument?

Fine, I guess I'll rebuttal.

Gwen starts: "So the wire to the lights were blocked..."

"But the panel was shut tight!"

"There's no way the culprit could have accessed it if that's the case!"

"And even if they did, it would take more than their hand to eut off the lights of the entire Mess-Hall!"

"No, I'm pretty sure they made it so that a blackout was guaranteed," I argue, "Otherwise, why bother?"

Gwen continues: "But Harold said it himself."

"It would take a long time for the lights to actually go out!"

"How eould the causer guarantee it would happen?"

"They would have to be next to it!"

"Especially if they somehow broke it WITH THEIR BARE HANDS!"

- Metal Tweezers

"I'M GONNA CUT THROUGH THAT CLAIM!!"

~~~

"Stop!"

Gwen suddenly speaks up, an ever so quiet, yet confident voice driving everyone's attention to

her.

She waits for Courtney's response. She waits for anyone's response.

All she gets is a question from Courtney, who asks, "What was that?"

"DJ has a clue that doesn't point to Duncan,"

Gwen says.

I widen my eyes. Really? He does?!

Gwen, of all people, is defending me?!

"You know who did it?!" Lindsay exclaims.

Gwen clarifies, "No. Well, not specifically to one person. But it's kind of a big hint.."

~~~

Gwen: "Okay, I'm about to guess something outrageous, but here it is.."

Gwen: "What if they WENT UNDER THE FLOOR?"

-Bathroom Manhole Cover

"I AGREE WITH THAT!!"

~~~

Gwen: "Good god, THE KNIFE SLICED THE WALL too…”

-Cut On The Wall

"NO THAT'S WRONG!!"

~~~

"Well, obviously she would have a target, right?"

Geoff wonders, "Like... someone she had a grudge on for so many years..."

"Don't you dare.." Gwen mutters, but Geoff does it anyway, "And considering they weren't in the dining room! AND, claimed they wouldn't even show up..

"Geoff, I swear I'll-" Gwen tries to hold back an outburst, only for Geoff to point at her and proclaim "..it's Gwen! Heather attacked Gwen! Gwen is the killer!!"

"I'm gonna come over there and slap that hat across your face!!" Gwen shouts back, "Do you realize how stupid of an accusation that is!?"

"Heather and I hated each other's guts, sure, and sure, I wasn't in the dining room, but that does not automatically make me Heather's killer!" Gwen explains, "And I already told everyone! I didn't go to the party! I wasn't in the Mess Hall at all! How could I be the killer?!"

"You're just saying that, but you actually intended to go in there the whole time!" Owen accuses.

"No, I didn't!" Gwen says again, "I was never in the Mess Hall for the entirety of the evening!"

"Then you should have been at the party to save yourself, be a part of the group!" Harold jabs, " told you, going off on your own is a bad idea! No one listens to mel"

"I thought I did," Leshawna mutters, where Harold awkwardly makes it clear, "Not you, LeGoddess... y-you know what I mean.."

Great, now I have to clear Gwen too?! It's pretty much impossible for Gwen to be the killer!

I think she might have an alibi...

Owen begins the argument: "The killer is someone who wasn't in the dining room..."

Owen: "And they WALKED in the Mess Hall, to be Heather's murder target!"

Tyler: "Then Heather would catch them off guard..."

Tyler: "To STRIKE with the axe!"

Geoff: "Is that how it happened, Gwen?"

Gwen: "How should I know?!"

Gwen: "I WASN'T THERE!"

Harold: "But you were alone."

Harold: "Which means that nobody saw you anywhere"

Harold: "That means that you have NO ALIBI!"

-Cody's Account

"NO THAT'S WRONG!!"

She does have an alibi because of Cody's stalking! She was never even close to the Mess Hall!

~~~

“You're actually disgusting Izzy," Gwen snarls, arms crossed as she leans by the corner away from everyone, "You and Duncan don't even care, do you?" Uh, hello! I do care! I just have a terrible way of showing it.

"You never got along with her," Izzy rolls her eyes at Gwen, where Gwen shoots back, "Not even Heather deserved to lose her life! Or Tyler, for that matter. He didn't deserve that, she didn't deserve that, I can't even imagine how Lindsay's going to turn out..."

"I mean... thanks for standing up for me back there," I say to her, where Gwen takes that harshly as she jabs, "Wow, that's all you care about! The only reason I stood up for you, was because we'd all die otherwise!"

"You didn't have to, though," I admit. I should really shut my mouth.

~~~

I look down to see Gwen leaning on the tree by herself. I didn't pay attention to what she was wearing before, but now I can see her black jean jacket and black jean shorts, alongside a few blue and green bracelets on her wrist, and black hiking books with blue laces. "Hey Gwen, want to come up here?" I ask, where Gwen doesn't even look at me to say, "No, I think I'll guard out here for anyone."

"You don't want to do that," I warn, where Gwen jabs, "Yeah. I do."

"Even for some... siren things?" That makes her look up, asking, "How do you know that's what'll happen?"

~~~

"Well, Duncan?" Leshawna asks, "Who did you hear?"

I want to say no one. I want to... but they're all staring at me. It's unsettling.

"He didn't hear anyone," Gwen assumes, where I stammer, "N-no! I heard people!" "Then who?!" Owen asks.

A few seconds of hesitation, and I sigh, admitting, "My mom."

They're all surprised by that. Noah goes, "Wait, you're a mama's boy?" "No!" I shoot back, "I'm not DJ! I just... I don't know why I heard her. I just... I just did, okay?" I didn't hear my brothers at all. I didn't hear my dad. But I heard her.

"You learn something new about people everyday," Noah says.

Gwen is shaking, hesitating to answer herself. She finally does, asking softly, "You know why I accepted my invitation to come to this island?" She hated Total Drama, so I don't know why she'd do it.

"Well my mom... uh... lost her job, so... the only one who could save us was me. And no one wanted to hire me because of my... horrible social rep. So I came here as a last resort, and my brother's by himself without a study partner for high school." I know Gwen's mom is single. When we were dating, one of our dates was to a graveyard. Gwen wanted to go there for an anniversary, when her father passed away from a heart infection. I don't know too much about her dad other than Gwen mentioning he was a night guard. Her mom's a little off the rails, but well meaning, and her brother... based on that line alone, it's clear. He means everything to her.

She came into this game to help her family...

Great, now I feel even worse. If I hadn't used her, she wouldn't get that bad social rep and wouldn't need to come here. And the fact that this is a killing game...

I got to find the Mastermind. We gotta take them out before they can kill anyone. Gwen alone, deserves to survive this more than I do. Everyone here deserves to be survivors in this game more than I do.

~~~

I watch Cody come up to her, trying to flirt with her as much as he can. I overhear their conversation. "Sunset's pretty, isn't it?" Cody asks, where Gwen expresses, "Yeah, it is." Despite the goth exterior, Gwen loves nature. "Got stung?" Cody asks in shock, where Gwen tells him, "It was one sting, I'll be fine."

"Perhaps I can help get the poison out..." Cody leans over, but Gwen shoves him away. "What's wrong with you?!" She scolds. What do you expect from the Ultimate Nice Guy, Gwen? "I-I-I just thought..." Cody stammers, but Gwen makes it clear, "I don't want to date anyone! Okay? I just want to get out of here. And if you and the others live, then that's the best thing that can happen."

"I..." Cody isn't sure what to say to that, "I don't want to leave."

Gwen is shocked at that, "You want to stay with Chris?! You want to stay in this Killing Game?!"

"It doesn't have to be a Killing Game," Cody claims, "If no one kills each other... we can contradict Chris's motives, and we can all live here together in peace. In a cozy island away from... all that political bull. Thinking of it like that, it's... just fine by me. I can live with all these people, even Izzy. That's fine by me."

Why would Cody prefer it though? He won't be able to become a doctor. He'll never see his family again. He'll never see Trent or Justin again. He'll never see Sierra again. He won't see this fiancé of his ever again. Why would he want to give it up?

The only thing I can think of, is that he didn't want any of it to begin with.

He grasps Gwen's hand, making it clear, "Look, Gwen, I don't... I don't want to force you into staying. If we defeat the Mastermind, we can work on getting you home to your family. Maybe you can even make things right with Trent."

"I would love that..." Gwen admits, "But Trent's moved on. He has his own music career, he's dating a nice girl... I don't know, maybe we could be friends again." Before me, Trent was a cool guitarist dude on Total Drama, and Gwen's crush. At the end of a season where she was the runner up, they tried to start dating... but it never worked out. Trent made her his world, threw away everything, she didn't like that, and she dumped him before things could get worse for all their relationships. What happened after that break up was a whole lot of internet drama, where people were one hundred percent on Trent's side, and one hundred percent against Gwen for making the call. There was no in between at all. Things would have been fine if it weren't for me butting in... after that, the whole internet despised Gwen. And myself, to be fair.

She should have gone with Trent. At least he didn't use her to get attention from other people.

"That's what I've been saying about going off on your own..." Cody says. He's looking at me. Don't you dare, Cody.

"You're gonna get hurt," Cody ends up saying, where Gwen states, "At least I know I'm not associating with a killer that way." "There are people here willing to help you..." Cody states, "Like... Duncan."

Cody, I'm gonna break your arm real bad! Why would you do that?!

I get it, he wants me and Gwen to be friends again, for me to apologize, but why?!

Gwen laughs that off, "Duncan? Are you serious right now?"

"Actually..." Cody makes it clear he's being serious, "He wants to talk to you."

It forces me to stand up and face her as she turns around to face me. She has a straight face, and I can't read her reaction at all towards me. She groans, "You..."

"H-hello, I... exist." I say, waving to her awkwardly. "Yeah, I know you exist," Gwen scoffs, "So what?"

At least she says that calmer than Courtney did.

Cody is behind her, giving me some hand motion. Apologize to her. Tell her how you feel. Apologize. She will feel so much better.

I sigh, looking at the time on her black and turquoise handbook. We have time.

"Can we talk?" I ask.

We head outside of the treehouse so no one else can hear. I can sense Cody stalking regardless, and believe me, I want him to get out of here. But there's nothing I can do about that. The sun is setting along the sky, leaving us with a decent amount of shadow.

As much as I want to deny it, I want to apologize just by looking at her. She's introverted, anti-social, yes, but getting to know her, she was such an amazing friend to hang out. A friend that understood you, was willing to open up to you, and allowed you to be yourself around them. I didn't have a lot of people who did that, and still don't, so Gwen was special to me.

Then I... ruined it.

I owe her an apology.

"This better be important, Duncan," Gwen sneers, "I'm not getting rained on."

I take a deep breath. Now or never, I'm going to tell her.

"Gwen..." I don't know where to begin, "When I was... in jail... I-uh... I had some time to think, you know?"

"Okay, so?" Her expression doesn't change.

"About... how much of a dick I was as a teen." "Heck yeah you were," she says to that.

"Look, what I'm trying to say is... I was wrong." I just say it upright.

She raises an eyebrow, not much else on her face changes. Maybe she's stoic? But that's not usually her.

I just have to let it out, "I was... one hundred percent in the wrong. I... I hurt you, I hurt a lot of people. The whole Courtney drama, and... doesn't matter how much of a grudge I had with her at the time, it was wrong for me to go behind her back, and drag you in for that matter... it was... even more wrong of me to see you not as you... but some escape door."

"You did do that," she admits. How has her face not changed at all?

I have to say it. She'll hear me. She'll forgive me.

"I treated you badly. I ruined your reputation. I dragged you in drama you didn't need to be in... I'm sorry."

I said it. Clearly.

I did it.

I look at her to see her reaction, hoping she'd hear me. In a perfect world, her grudge would vanish just like that, she'd smile, maybe cry, and she'd accept my apology. She'd forgive me, embrace me in a hug, and I'd get a friend that. I'd win someone over, make amends with who was once a close friend, before we lost the chance...

But this isn't a perfect world.

She isn't even fazed by my apology. In fact, she scowls at it, and she asks bluntly, "That's it?"

"U-uh..." did I miss something?

"Okay," she decides, turning away and saying, "I don't forgive you. We can go back up there now."

"What?" She... doesn't forgive me?! After all of that?! After I admit it was all my fault, apologize to her face, she doesn't forgive me?! I get I hurt her, but come on! You don't just reject an apology like that! "I-I said I was sorry..."

"I know," she says, "And I'm saying, I don't forgive you."

"You wanted me to admit it was my fault, and I did!" I argue, where she argues back, "Didn't ask. Don't care."

"Gwen, what do I have to do?" I ask her, where she doesn't answer that and states, "I know what you're doing, Duncan! You just want to use me again! You just want me to forgive you, so you can feel good about yourself. That's all this is. I'm not giving you that."

"Why not?!" I should know the answer to that, but Gwen makes it clear again, "You ruined my life, Duncan! In so many more ways than you think! You used me! You took advantage of a dumped girl who was being shat on online, cheated on your own girlfriend with me, and made that girl want to murder me with leaves! And then you used me as an object to make yourself look popular and well-knowing and cool, to the very person you cheated on! That triangle you drove me in ruined everything I had going for, because you only saw me as a tool to your ego boost. Because of you, all I'm known for is a goth chick who dumps men every single week. And I can never, EVER, forgive you for that!"

"Gwen-" I try again, but she cuts me off, "I don't want to hear it! Okay?"

"I literally said it was my fault, and I was sorry!" I claim, where she makes it clear, "I don't care! Doesn't change the fact that you still did it! I don't care if you feel bad about it, that changes nothing!"

"So I'm just incapable of change to you, is that it?" I ask, where she states, "It's not that. You could pretend to be an angel sent from the heavens, and still be an arrogant scumbag in intention, that's always going to show one way or another."

She's beginning to walk away, and I try to stop her, "Gwen! If there's something you want from me, tell me what it is!"

"I want you to back off!" Gwen scoffs, not apologizing at all, "Trent was right. You're trash. And as far as you're concerned, I am under no obligation to let you back in my life ever again!"

She climbs up the treehouse and leaves me there.

...she's right.

At the end of the day, she's right. I hurt her, I ruined a lot of stuff she had going. She has no reason to ever forgive me, let alone include me in her life ever again.

She's completely in the right to do that.

~~~

At first, I only saw Gwen as a friend, and an amazing one at that. I enjoyed her company a lot, gushing over horror movies, arguing over survival tactics, goofing off together. I made her smile in ways others didn't, which wasn't too often from how iron her mask was on her face. I had feelings for Courtney at the time, and that remained consistent for a bit. Looking back, the only thing that made us a thing was Courtney kissing me. Ever since, the game was more important to her than me. I mean, who would ditch a dude with a broken leg for a million dollars? Especially your own boyfriend? Courtney would.

Even in the season I'd eventually win, I never complained, or went after anyone else. I never had any grudge with Trent dating Gwen, and I thought he was a good guy. I didn't try to take her from him, Gwen dumped him on her own terms. Apparently the internet thought she dumped him for me, which probably got her thinking, as well as myself when I heard it. Gwen was great to be around, and the only person who truly got me, understood me, and accepted me for who I was. I was probably the only person who seemed to do the same for her at the time.

~~~

But the person I hung out with the most, was Gwen.

I'd call her, we'd chat, rant about our terrible love lives, and catch up with each other. I'd even come by her place to hang out. She'd offer some juice, we'd hang out, we'd often watch something horrific, play some darts, play some cards, walk out in the city, and we'd have a great time being ourselves. Whether it's ranting about the internet, about Heather trolling her, about Courtney, about the show mayhem, or about anything at all, it was great to listen to. And the more we'd hang out like this, the more I wanted to do this. I was so happy with her, and...

I told her once, "Can I be real? Being a millionaire dating Courtney sucks... I mean, tell me what to do, what not to do, make me be like her, little Morrow husband, and I'm just like, what say do I have in that? Here I thought she was great, I thought she was my ideal girlfriend."

She asked me what my ideal girlfriend was, and I said, "I think it'd be someone funny, sweet, chill girl that takes interest in the gritty and listens to every insult I made, and isn't a complete neat freak, not afraid to get her hands dirty."

She must have taken that to consideration. She must have realized my unhappiness in my relationship with Courtney. She must have thought I was eyeing her... because I was. I wanted to be with her in so many ways. If the internet's shipping was the way we had to do it... why not?

Courtney never thought me hanging out with Gwen was any big deal. I told her we were just friends. It was around when the lies began to start.

Right before World Tour started, Courtney and I called off the relationship, and she claimed I was a piece of work who could never change. Sure, we kissed again after that, but I was long gone.

I left the game to do some crime around the world, and let me tell you, it was miserable. So many cops chasing after me, no safe residential I could escape into for the night... and every time I ran from the cops, I thought of her.

I was caught on London, forced back into the game. Courtney went all about saying she missed me, and wanted me back, I admit, I was touched. It was bad enough out in the wild with no company that I preferred to put up with her...

But I still couldn't sleep that night, especially not on that plane. I didn't know where I was walking around, it was simply aimless. I didn't want to be back there, especially with these people. I couldn't stand that. I needed an out...

That was when I heard her.

"I don't know how anybody else can sleep, especially Courtney... I'm still fuzzy like I drank too much coffee, cause we won. And Duncan's back, and he... missed us..."

She made the most adorable giggle when she said that. I didn't know what to make of it. My heart was aching so much from it as I thought of her face from behind that door. Was it sarcastic, or was it actually...? She was so pale, yet so full of emotion at the same time, I'd get lost in it to wonder what she was thinking. I couldn't stop thinking about her.

It sounded like she...

That's when leaning on the door made it open wide, and there she was, her head whipping around as her eyes widened in shock to see me. Her arm was sunburned badly, but the rest of her was just how I remembered it. Gorgeous.

"Oh my gosh..." she stammered in embarrassment, red on her face, "I didn't lock the door?!"

"Locks busted..." I made the observation, trying to change the subject to not make this awkward, "What happened to your arm?"

"This is going to sound so stupid, but I have no idea," Gwen smirked, seeming glad this encounter happened, "And I'm so glad you're here to mock me about it."

"Me too..." As if I was controlled by a demon, I walked in the room fully, grasping her hand. She winced, and a sting in my heart happened when she did so. But she seemed relieved, happy even...

Even today, I don't know what to make of that kiss. It was the best, and worst thing that had ever happened to me. I had finally found her, I found someone who loved me, that I loved back, I had genuine feelings... and I had to perform so many sins to get to it. It felt like if Eros had to murder a ton of innocent humans to get to a love of his life, a girl of his dreams.

Courtney found out, and she never forgave me for that. Not even to this day, it's clear how much she hates me for that kiss. But back then, I didn't care. I was in something I was proud of. I had no regrets. I didn't care how selfish I was.

Not even when Courtney was constantly attempting to murder Gwen, did I care what I was doing. I just got mad that she succeeded in eliminating her. Gwen and I dated for a bit, and it seemed to be going great, as now we got to truly be together and be as chaotic as we wanted. Screw reality tv, screw Courtney, screw the world, it was just us. Even when she restrained and wasn't comfortable with certain things, I ended up respecting her for it, because I didn't want to lose the one good person in my life.

I stopped hanging out with Geoff and Bridgette when we started dating, DJ was told by his mama to not hang out with him, and other people, including my delinquent friends, would be sarcastic in saying I was doing the right thing. They were disgusted. I remember I asked to hang out with DJ, and his excuse for not doing so was, "My mama told me she wishes you were dead."

That cracked me up so hard.

I guess I should have seen the cracks on their warnings, but I didn't. I kept going.

Gwen asked once, based on all the hate mail she got, if what they were doing was right. I asked how she felt about it, and she claimed she... didn't know. She was glad they were dating, she loved him and all, but if everyone she was in a relationship with, platonically, was hating her and avoiding her for it, was it worth it? She lost all her friends when they started dating, even loyal Leshawna. My advice was to not worry about them, not worry about her, as long as they were happy, that was all that mattered. I'd hold her close to ensure her that she didn't have to worry about anything, and we'd kiss again. I was going to keep her. I wasn't going to lose her.

I even overheard a talk with Gwen and her brother, who advised her to break up with me. If our relationship was costing her access to the outside world, then that relationship wasn't worth it.

I didn't want to believe that.

I tried to make her happy by taking her out more. Some cameras would show, but I'd make all the calls, and tell them to go f**k off. I'd make the calls on when we'd go out, and I'd make the calls on what we did. If I saw Courtney, I'd make sure Gwen was as far away from her as possible. Soon enough, a ton of people tried to stalk on us, get to Gwen and tell her to stop dating me, and I'd shut out as many as I did. I wasn't going to let them tell us wat to do. Every time I did that, I told her it was okay. If we were bad, so be it.

I went to that season to be with her, even when she had something else in mind. She... wanted to be friends with Courtney? She believed that Courtney was right? I... no, Courtney was manipulating her, I wasn't going to let her do that!

No one around me liked me, or even cared for me at all. I was fine with that... until Gwen just... decided I wasn't worth a penny. I guess that whole feeling kicked in, and what my actions were costing me. Everyone was ignoring me now, and I was... alone. Completely, utterly, alone.

~~~

I tried everything to get Courtney to notice me again, even if I had to use every affectionate moment with Gwen to do it. I didn't consider her feelings at all, and I did it on my own will. She was my goal to achieving social acceptance once again, and I was gonna get what I want...

I should have seen it coming. Her shoving me and claiming it was over.

She'd broken off of my grasp, and left...

Off camera of the show, I tried to confront her, while she was still angry with me. I followed her into the woods to argue with her, try to make sense on what that was all about. Why did she call us off like that?!

The whole time, she was telling me, "Back off!" "Get away!" "Good night!" "I said it's over, so it's over!" "Leave me alone!"

Why did she hate me all of a sudden?! What did I do?!

Her face was a blood red, of complete rage, as she proclaimed, "Do you have any idea how mortifying it is, to realize that your boyfriend has been using you for their own pleasure and gain, cutting off your contacts, and treating you like some key to treasure and you went along with it?!"

"I never thought you'd still like Courtney," she sneered with a fake smile. I argued back, "She's using another guy for the game, and why does it matter who I hang out with?!"

"Uh-" she couldn't believe my answer, "You're the one who cheated on her!"

"And the others-" "Who cares about the others?!" I argued, getting her in a rally. "Who cares?!" "They don't-" "Who cares?!" "Why-" "What does anyone else mean to you?!" "They-" I tried to argue back, but she kept cutting me off, exploiting her anger, "Literally everyone hated us together, and you don't care at all, like I'm supposed to think Courtney's some supervillain here, like her feelings mean nothing at all if it's not jealousy that you and her couldn't work it out. 'Oh! Now look at me and my fancy new gal, Courtney! Aren't you mad? Aren't for begging to take me back?!' I don't even have a say in this!"

"Like you need to!" I argued back, which got her screaming, "SHE DOESN'T CARE!!"

She shoved me aside, rubbing it in my face, "That girl's moved on DUNCAN! READ THE ROOM!!"

"THEY NEED ME!" I shouted back, swatting her away, which got Gwen stepping away in shock and disbelief. What was her deal?! Why was she completely cutting off my voice like this? What was I doing?!

"You bitch..." she snarled, trying to keep composure of her anger. "Gwen, you mean-" I tried to say, but she cut me off once again, "NOTHING! I. MEAN. NOTHING. TO YOU! I'm just your play thing!!" I didn't think that! I was getting angry myself.

"You're my friend-" I proclaimed, where she argued back, "I thought you were!" "What kind of friend even are you!?" I was roasting her badly, "All you do is complain about other people, and dump everyone because they were weird! You never even listen to me! You never even notice me! You just pretended I didn't exist-"

"OH REALLY?!" she shot back, beginning to cry, "I tried!! I tried so hard!" I kept going, "Everyone keeps telling me I'm a bad kid, and that I'm a disgusting piece of garbage for just finding love, and that there's something wrong with me, and that I needed to be changed into some daily citizen, like you do!" I kept ranting, and Gwen tried to stammer again, "Okay, hold on-!" "Courtney just wanted to change me..." "You're making this all about you!" "And now they think I'm some hero..." "Do I have a voice at all?!" "And like, they don't get me!" "Hear me out!" "They don't get the memo!" "I stood up for you!" "Now everyone's like, 'Yeah you exist, so what?!'" "So I guess I can say anything I want, and it doesn't matter!"

"You just hate me now because I'm not a bad boy in this game, Courtney's on your team, and she's going around telling you that I'm ruining your life!"

"YOU!!" There was so many tear streaks on her eyes right now as she tried to scream back, "Were the only..." she didn't know what words to use after that, "I THOUGHT you were the ONE good thing that's happened to me this entire game, and... turns out the exact OPPOSITE is true... god, I'm awful..."

I couldn't believe her. She had nothing to cry about right now. She was thinking irrationally. All I could say to that was, "Well it's not my fault you don't know who you are."

I didn't see my face when I said that line, but whatever it was, it made Gwen gaze at me differently. She thought I didn't care at all, that I never loved her and just saw her as some object. She thought I was completely heartless the whole time.

"Courtney was right..." Gwen said softly, "She was trying to help you, and you didn't listen to her. My mom, my brother, everyone on TV, They were right..."

"You're TRASH, Duncan. You really are a piece of shit."

"I-" I tried to say something. What was I going to say? I'm sorry? I don't care? You're wrong? I love you? What was going on in my mind then?

Regardless, she cut me off, stomping away and demanding, "Get the f**k out of my life!"

She left me there alone, completely confused. Was I really trash? Did Courtney manipulate her? Was it because I was on the heroes team? Why did she do that?

Why did she leave?

~~~

"Duncan!"

I'm suddenly shook awake by Gwen, who is frustrated with me. She complains, "I swear, you're the heaviest sleeper ever..."

I'm having a hard time waking up...

Tyler's...

Was that how Tyler felt in the afterlife? Is he in hell?!

The Ultimate Punisher...

"Your shift, I'm going to bed," With that, Gwen leaves. I get up in the darkness, looking at everyone. 

~~~

"Wait, so they're back together?" Gwen wonders, "Over that?"

I don't get those two sometimes.

"Got a problem?" We hear Izzy shout in between a kiss. "I find that to be unhealthy," Gwen says. I think I know why she thinks that...

"This woman is the most insane gal I've ever met," Owen claims, still in the river, "You just can't let go of a gal who can do everything she puts her mind to!" They begin making out again.

"So... does this mean you two are lovebirds again?" I ask, where they both shout back, "Don't ask something so pointless!"

"I swear these two have such a simplistic romance," Gwen mutters, rolling her eyes. "Not that I don't have my far share of dumb ones." 

~~~

I already feel a massive sting hit my hand, as if a needle was stuck in it. I slap the bug off, and I start running over the river.

"The hell is wrong with you?!" I hear Gwen scream as she grabs me and throws me over to their side.

~~~

“Cody..." I mutter, which makes Gwen look up at me. "What about him?" she asks, where I can't help but say what I'm thinking, "Why would someone kill him? Why him specifically? He didn't do anything wrong..."

"There's... so much about him I don't know, and I'll never know now. If I knew this'd happen, I'd... well maybe I would have been there for him. Why did he not want to get married? What happened in his life that was so bad that he'd want to stay on this island?? All of those answers... gone with him."

"But... I know one thing. Cody didn't want to die. No matter how bad this situation was for him, he wanted to move on with his life. He wanted to see so much he could live for... he was the only person out of all of us willing to accept his fate and stay here forever... then someone killed him..."

I punch the tree, letting out a gritted, "Why?!! What did he do to deserve such a terrible death?!!!"

Gwen stands there, eyes widened. Courtney watches as well, and I hear her whisper in Gwen's ear, "Why does he even care? He didn't know Cody."

I want to scream at Courtney, but the words can't get out of my mouth to do so. Courtney truly believes I don't care about Cody's death even after hearing that? That I didn't get to know Cody well enough, so there's no reason why I should be saying these things?!

Gwen sighs, clearly not thinking the same way Courtney is. She admits to me, "I knew Cody... sure he wanted to bang me so badly, but... he stood up for me even when you were in my grasp, Duncan. He listened to me. Took my word for it. He helped me get with Trent. He was a great guy, and... and he's gone... he's really gone..." She hugs herself, unsure what else to say to that. It's clear she's mourning Cody's death, even if she isn't crying.

Gwen mourned Heather, and she hated her. There's no reason why she wouldn't mourn Cody, her friend.

Courtney wraps her arm around Gwen to comfort her, telling her, "We're gonna find Cody's killer. I know we will."

I have to ask, "Hey Gwen... do you have any idea why Cody would want to stay on the island?" That's the only motive I can think of on why someone would kill Cody, is if that desire to stay pissed the killer off.

She's hesitant to explain it to the both of us, but she goes ahead. "I don't know for certain what it is. That's coming from someone who was bugged by Cody nearly every day since we got here. Sometimes Courtney or Leshawna would have to get him to back off... there is one thing I can say though that he did tell me. He said something about Sierra wanting him to give her a postcard on his 'experiences with his fiancé'. She was happy for them and the arrangement of their marriage, and how much it'd help Cody in life to her. Cody said to me he never committed to any of that. I think he was scared... He was able to run away from his house for about a month, stay with Trent and Justin... I don't think his parents even noticed his disappearance, or the fact that he came to this island... now they're never gonna see him again."

~~~

"Well then, here we go again," Courtney claims, gazing at Gwen to say, "You don't need to associate with him on this, do you?" Gwen doesn't say anything, but goes with Courtney, and both girls walk away.

"Fine! More clues for me then!" I scoff. 

~~~

“Ah yes, the season you decided to run across the Mediterranean Sea just to dump your girlfriend for a goth!" Courtney scoffs, where I mock, "Yeah, good times..."

"You're a bad person." Gwen states, referring to me.

~~~

Gwen states, "We actually have one..."

She pulls out the Area 2 Data chart we made. "Check it out," she says, "We made an entire database regarding the disasters in Area 2." Bless Gwen. She's making this a lot easier.

"Surprised you picked it up," I say, where Gwen replies, "I doubt you expected anything of me. After all, since you only see your love interests as accessories-"

"I get it!" I cut her off, "Is there a damn pattern here?!"

~~~

Gwen: "So if we're to go off of what we do have..."

Gwen: "My party got caught in the flood yesterday, when we were at Area 1..."

Gwen: "But Area 2 SHOULD HAVE HAD FLOODING as well..."

- Area 2 Disaster Data

"NO THAT'S WRONG!!"

~~~

"And you know Gwen's party was in Area 2 at the time... how?" I ask, where Courtney answers, "Unlike you, Gwen and I actually trust each other."

"And I can absolutely confirm I told Courtney about that, and that she's telling the truth by saying this," Gwen says with a smile.

Courtney gleefully says, "I'm so glad we can agree on something!"

I can appreciate friendship, but seriously, stop ganging up on me when I didn't even do anything.

~~~

"Don't bother!" I jab, "Listening to her whining is a waste of time if you ask me!"

"I agree," Gwen says, "We need to find Cody's killer. For Cody."

I gaze at her starry eyed, asking, "So you forgive me?"

To which Gwen says, "NO."

"You have to admit, Courtney's pretty helpful, more helpful than you, I'll say." Gwen adds, where Courtney expresses, "Thank you!"

~~~

 Izzy: "Can we really trust Gwen's testimony?!"

-Testimony (Gwen)

"Gwen!"

Gwen: "That's alright. We have the TESTIMONY of all of Courtney's party as well!"

A one-shot for my duncney one-shots on wattpad. Please give me feedback, I'm new to writing

N O T E S

-Tyler hadn't blabbed nothing about the gwuncan kiss

-This story is behind some episode, so nothing is on camera

-Trent is in world tour

-Bridgette is still in

Trent and Bridgette are on the same team

-Trent and Courtney are friends I guess (and nothing more)

---------

Courtney sat on her golden first class chair, next to the unpredictable Heather. She'd been doing her favourite thing; thinking while doodling down notes.

Suddenly, the big cup of orange juice had came rushing back up. The plane shook as the brunette forced herself to not throw up.

She rushed to the bathroom, the plane shaking some more.

The C.I.T thought she heard something... but was re-assured herself. She couldn't hold in the disgusting puke no longer, so there was no time to knock and make sure.

That went away, though, when she saw Gwen. And Duncan. Making out.

The pupils in Courtney's eyes grew small, just staring, and speechless.

The couple turned around, seeing what there interruption was.

Duncan stood there, his eyes wide. Gwen, the same. But she knew it would come some day.

Courtney ran away, bursting out in tears. Duncan had the urge to run after her, but when squeezed closer to Gwen, he just stood still. Cursing in his mind.

The brunette flew through the first class. Everyone looked at her, shocked. They had one, never seen Courtney shed a tear, and two: never seen Courtney shed a tear.

Finding a comforting corner around the wall, she kneeled down and cried. Her head was in her knees as she just cried and cried.

Team Amazon looked at each other, before Heather finally let her words go.

"I have a feeling I know what this is." She annouced, getting up and walking towards the shaking plane bathroom.

"Where are you going?" Cody questioned.

"To give Gwen a little visit." Heather said, venom dripping from her voice.

The geek, though, didn't get a clue.

"Ooo can I come visit too?" He wiggled his eyesbrows. Heather ignored him as Sierra slapped him.

"Ouch." He yelped.

-

Bridgette and Trent sat next to each other on the horrible wooden bench.

"We need to think of a plan." Alejandro suggested. Bridgette just nodded and nodded, her ears fixed on something else.

She swore she heard a whimper or two. The musican also looked up worryingly.

"I, uh- need to go the bathroom." They both said at the same time. Without thinking, the duo sped off to see what their eyes were giving them.

Surely enough, around the bend, Courtney had her arms in her knees, sobbing.

"C-Courtney what's wrong?" The surfer's voice cracked.

"Gwen... D-Duncan... they..." Courtney cried. Bridgette and Trent shared a glance, already knowing what has happened.

"Listen, I'll go talk to them." Trent offered, showing a weak smile.

"No, Trent. I'm going to talk to him." Bridgette answered in a stern voice. Courtney kept silent as the blonde strode off.

Trent kneeled down beside the brunette.

"Duncan's a loser. You didn't deserve him anyway." Trent smiled, for real this time.

Courtney trembley smiled back, before breaking down again.

Trent sighed and tried again.

As she walked, thoughts filled her head, making her stomach boil with anger. There was going to be a lot to talk about with... Duncan.

Sure, Bridgette was extremely mad with Gwen, but Gwen could've been any other girl Duncan had cheated with.

Gwen did wrong, but Duncan did the worst.

Speaking of which, there could be no better time for Bridgette clash into the delinquent himself, with the goth at his side.

"Hey, Gwen, can I talk to Duncan... alone?" Bridgette narrowed her eyes at Gwen. Gwen glared back, but left, thinking whatever Bridgette could do was harmless.

Boy, was she wrong.

"What do you want?" Duncan said coldly. " Cause I'm not apologizing to Courtney." Duncan assumed that was why he was there.

"Oh, you are apologizing to her, and I also had one thing to tell you." Bridgette smiled sweetly.

"What malibu?" Duncan rolled his eyes.

"This." She answered, whacking him with her fist. The blonde punched him so hard, his nose begun to bleed.

"LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT. YOU. ARE. FUCKING. APOLOGIZING. TO. COURTNEY. BECUASE IF YOU DON'T... OHHH YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU DON'T!" Bridgette screamed.

Duncan held his nose, scoffing.

"Ha! You think a weak punch and some swearing would intimidate me?" Duncan mocked.

"No, but this will." Bridgette kicked the punk where the sun don't shine. He whimpered, but the surfer wasn't done there.

She kept punching his chest before she then broke out in tears. Her weak punches faded and faded until she just sat down crying.

"Why would you do this?" Bridgette cried.

Duncan, still holding his nose and kneeling down, sighed.

"She... she began to get to controlling. I didn't know what to do." He looked down in defeat.

"So cheating on her... cheating on her was the answer?!" Bridgette closed her eyes and hugged her legs.

"I- I didn't mean too! Gwen... I just thought if she..."

"If she lost you then she'd realize what she'd miss?" Bridgette finished his sentence.

"And she'd... she'd just stop trying to change me. Everyone tries to change me. My parents, my teachers, and when she finally tried, that was my breaking point."

"You could've just talked to her."

"She wouldn't have listened."

"Yes, she would've. She loves you Duncan. And you hurt her."

"She... loves me?"

"She talks to me every nignt about you, it kinda gets annoying." Bridgette laughed. Duncan chuckled before looking down again.

"I'm not perfect."

"And neither is she. Both of you fight, but always overcome it. Why should this be different?"

"Thanks, Bridgette." Duncan gently smiled and pat her shoulder. The blonde smiled back before Duncan left to go find Courtney.

TOTAL DRAMA ALL STARS season 5 episode 5

 this is what I think Gwen should have done and what should have happened in episode 5 and afterwards in Gwen’s perspective.I might do Duncan or Courtney’s next,and I might do another season,idk.And,yes,I know I’m like,10 years late.

this is my first story/fanfic,so please go easy on me

Ever since we got  there,Duncan only cared about getting under Courtney’s skin,and its TOTALLY ANNOYING!!!!The only reason I went back to that disgusting place was to make up with Courtney.Even though, I DID NOTHING WRONG!!!!!They were broken up WAY before Duncan and I started.And WHY WAS I A VILLAIN??????????

When Heather started acting all ‘nice’ in this weeks challenge,I knew something was up,but i just tried to keep my distance.Then i saw an opportunity to make amends with Courtney,or at least start to.I took it and I was SO close,but she just had to remember that she wanted to see my head on a spike!

I can’t believe my team were even considering crossing that rope bridge!It’s like, the most obvious thing in a movie!The rope bridge snaps,and most of the time,someone dies.I WAS NOT TAKING THAT CHANCE!So,I decided to take the long way.I might have been alone,against a bunch of killer,wild animals,but at least if I was gonna die,I wasn’t going to fall to my death off of a dang rope!

I have to admit, it was pretty cool of Duncan to save me from those chipmunks,or whatever they were.If only he had stayed that cool the whole time!I mean seriously!Why does he even care if Courtney said anything about him?Shouldn’t he be less focused on his ex-girlfriend and more focused on me,his ACTUAL GIRLFRIEND and the competition????But no,he’s WAY too cocky for that,and thinks that Courtney’s still obsessed with him,like he is about her.I mean,PUH LEASE!She’s happy with Scott,let her be!

When I saw Courtney in trouble,I really hoped that if I saved her,she would finally forgive me for the whole Duncan thing,and we could move on in our lives.Then,everyone would see that I’m really a Hero,not a VILLAIN,and that I really didn’t mean all of those horrible accidents that happened to her.Plus,even though Courtney and I were busy fighting of a deadly deer,we still won!I was SO happy!Another night in a luxury hotel!!!!!!

The last straw for me with Duncan was at the Elimination Ceremony,when Duncan tried to comfort me with a kiss on the cheek,AND ASKED IF COURTNEY WAS WATCHING!!!!!!!!!I finally snapped.”WHY DO YOU CARE????” I screamed.”Look Duncan,I know that you don’t like Courtney,and you’re trying to get under her skin,but I’m sick of it!Ever since we got here,all you’ve cared about is Courtney,YOUR EX-GIRLFRIEND!You need to get this into your thick scull:the only reason I came back here is to make up with her,and the only reason you’re here is because I’m here,right?”Duncan nodded”Right,so you need to stop putting so much effort into your ex-girlfriend and more effort into me,your actual girlfriend and our relationship!Oh,and you need to stop caring what everyone thinks about you!!!!!Ever since you got switched over the the Hero’s, its all you care about.WHO CARES IF YOU’RE A BAD BOY OR A GOODY GOODY??I’ll still love you all the same!If you don’t stop,I’m done,I can barely take it anymore “

I turned to Courtney”Courtney,I am so sorry about everything that has happened between us,even though I really don’t think I did anything wrong,I am so sorry about how everything went down.I really only came back to make up with you,and I’m sorry if you can’t forgive me.”

After my ‘speech’,I stormed back to the hotel,and locked myself in a small bedroom.There was NO way I was going to sit through an entire Elimination Ceremony after that.

Courtney came to my room about an hour later.

She knocked and waited outside the door forever.I eventually opened the door.

“Hey.........”she said as she entered the room.

“Hi.....................”I replied.What was I supposed to say?

“Look,I’m so sorry I wouldn’t forgive you.Or at least hear you out about it.I really appreciate how you came back just to make it up to me!”Courtney said after a long silence.”And by the way,you were right,we were over before you started dating..........Can you ever forgive me????

I was almost in tears.Finally,someone admitted that I wasn’t the boyfriend stealing,new Heather!!!!!

“Of course!!!!!!!!I muttered,in between sobs

SEASON 5 EPISODE 6

I was so happy to wake up and find Cameron on our team.Finally someone nice!I really wasn’t in the mood for some dumb challenge,but,I also needed a distraction.Plus I was curious if Duncan would take my words seriously.

I got seriously scared when Chris told u what the challenge was.But,to my surprise,Duncan stayed with me the entire time,even though we’re on different teams.He was actually really sweet.Half way through the challenge,Duncan pulled me aside and apologized.He told me that he just felt self conscious about losing his ‘bad boy’ exterior,and he didn’t want me to think he was a sissy or that its not cool to be in a relationship with a ‘do-gooder’ or something like that.I told him he was sweet,but really stupid,I mean,as if doing something kind would put me off being in a relationship with him.The thing that put me off was his arrogance,cocky-ness and how he was pretending to be something he’s not.

Then he stopped me,pulled me in close and we kissed

After that,Duncan really started to change.He stopped trying to get to Courtney,and finally started to focus on our relationship.And the competition.When Duncan stopped caring what everyone thought of him,he actually did start to go back to being a bad boy,which I could see he was happy about.

SEASON 5 EPISODE 7

I was so focused on the whole Duncan and Courtney thing that I didn’t even really notice who was on my team.Courtney,obviously.Which now was great because she finally forgave me,Cameron,who I really didn’t know,but I was really happy to get to know,because he seems like a really nice person,Scott,who was one of the 2 actual villains on the Villain team.Yeah,he was weird,but it was so obvious that Courtney liked him,so,I had to be nice to him.If I was on his good side,I could stay on Courtney’s good side.

And last but not least,Alejandro.There was NO WAY I was ever going to trust that guy!There really isn’t much to say,except for the fact that he was definitely the most villainous of all the Villains.

“hey babe.”Duncan said as I walked over to him.He seemed really down.I knew Duncan seemed off.Something was bothering him,so,I asked him.I COULD’NT BELIEVE IT!!!!Mike was in JUVIE????But he was called Mal??That made no sense,I mean,MIKE!!!When I wasn’t focused on Duncan and Courtney,I did notice that Mike was acting a bit strange,but I still couldn’t believe that HE went to juvie.Duncan left to go tell Zoey.I didn’t think that was such a good idea.I mean if I was in doubt,there was no way Zoey would believe him.Especially since Duncan had gone back to his old ways of being ‘the delinquent’.I didn’t have time to ask Duncan how she reacted,because Chris started explaining the challenge.”Great,another day of pain.”I thought.

I knew something had to be up with this challenge when Scott had to fight Fang and Sierra had to fight her........creature’s mother.Scott was SO MESSED UP after his fight with Fang,and I was SO happy when Courtney let me help.I was really glad we were friends again!!

I have to admit,when I saw Alejandro’s older brother,I was in awe.I know he told us that he was better than him at everything,but I guess I had to see it to believe it.But it was no surprise how he felt about Heather.It was more obvious that they were in love than me and Duncan,and we’re an ACTUAL COUPLE!!!

When I saw Mike take down Izzy,I kinda started to believe Duncan even more.The Mike that I knew,even vaguely,WOULD NOT be able to take down that psycho chick!

I know it looked bad,that Duncan couldn’t take down some stupid bird,but I respected him for it.YEAH it was just a bird,but Duncan wouldn’t hurt something so helpless.I know he was disappointed in himself,but like I said,I RESPECTED HIM FOR IT and I told him so.He still seemed upset,so I gave him a hug and pulled him in for a kiss.He seemed to cheer up after that,but I hated that he was doubting himself so much.I thought he was really noble to turn down that fight!

It was my turn next,and I couldn’t believe they actually wanted me to fight Courtney!Right after we made up and were best friends again!

We obviously refused,until Chris pulled out those Gwuncan videos Sierra made.I could tell Courtney was getting angry,so I simply said:”Look,Courtney,we’re passed this,and we agreed to be friends!You told me you were OVER Duncan!”

There was a long pause.I had no idea what to do!”Should I be getting ready to fight?”I thought to myself

“You’re right!Sorry Chris,but I’m not fighting my best friend!”Courtney finally replied

I was so happy!!!!!!This was confirmation that she really did forgive me!!!!I pulled her into a huge hug and ran over to Duncan.I didn’t care if our team lost or not.I was SO happy!!!

When Chris told us that we got to choose who went home,it was an obvious choice.Sierra.She was going crazy without her phone and Cody.Well,crazier.

I was so glad Alejandro was gone for the night!I always felt uneasy with him around.

I felt horrible eliminating Sierra,but Duncan did help me through it and made me laugh a lot.He also reassured me that she would be happier,cause she would be with Cody again.

I know it sounds like Duncan’s gone soft,but he really hasn’t.He’s sweet around me sometimes,like when I’m upset,but with everyone else,he’s just how he used to be.Which I appreciate.I love that he is himself when he’s around me and everyone in camp,dark and spooky,but when he realizes I’m upset or need to talk about something,he switches.He’s kind,sweet and understanding.

I don’t want it to seem like I wanted him to change,I think he just needed a reality check,which I’m sure he would agree with now,and that’s exactly what I gave him.

SEASON 5 EPISODE 8

I woke up that morning feeling AMAZING!Courtney and I were friends again,everything was back on track with Duncan,I slept in the most comfortable bed ever,in the most amazing hotel ever and I had the best dream...........ever.I dreamt that I was riding a fluffy unicorn ,across clouds made of marshmallows!

Courtney and I started to talk and I confessed that a couple days before I was ready to quit,but because we were friends again,and me and Duncan had the best relationship ever,I never wanted it to end!

“I hope we make it to the finale together.”Courtney said,smiling.

“What about Scott?”I asked

Then,Courtney said something that made me even HAPPIER.I didn’t think that was possible “He’s cool and all,but like you say,you gotta put friends first!”

Like I said,I was really happy that she said that,and meant it,but what about Duncan?He was my boyfriend after all!

The more I thought about it,the more I realized that my dream was to have Duncan AND Courtney in the finale with me.After that,there would be no alliances,no bias.And we would all try our best and see who won.Before,those two in the finale with me would have seemed like a nightmare,with them fighting all the time,but,Duncan had realized that Courtney and I were friends and there was nothing he could do about it.And Courtney realized that Duncan and I were in love,and just because they didn’t work out,doesn’t mean that the same would happen to us.

Before the challenge,Duncan decided to drive Chef’s truck into the ocean,I don’t know why,probably because he was bored,or wanted to prove a point,but it was HILARIOUS watching Chef get all mad,which,of course,made Duncan happy,and then he saw me laughing and found it even funnier!He really was a sight for sore eyes!

When I heard that the teams were being merged,I was so happy!Now,not only could I spend time with Courtney,but I could spend time with Duncan,not just walking to,from,and during challenges!I walked straight over to Duncan and kissed him.

For that days challenge,we had to race all around the island in boats that barely floated!

Of course Duncan and I went together,but Alejandro got the best boat,so we jumped into the other speedboat.

I looked back and saw Courtney and Scott jump on to the raft with Zoey and Cameron.I would have gone back for her,considering she was my best friend,but we were too far ahead.

I don’t know how Mike got so far ahead of us in a measly fishing boat,but, I was glad to see Alejandro’s engine stalling.And so was Duncan.”Having a little engine trouble Al???”Duncan laughed as we sped past him.

We managed to avoid all of the coconuts in Coconut Alley,but when I looked back,I saw that Courtney got hit,and I got seriously worried!But she bounced back just like she always does.

Eventually,our engine stalled,and even the guys on the RAFT passed us with their new motor.Duncan went to the top of the boat and started paddling while I tried to fix the engine.And of course,to make a bad situation worse,Chris just had to swoop down and remind us that Mike was winning.........and we were in last place.

I eventually got the engine going again,and we went as fast as we could,but it just wasn’t enough.We came in second,and would have won,but Alejandro’s NOSE passed the finish line before we did.I was so sure we were gonna win,but Alejandro beat us by a split second.

I wasn’t that bummed when Alejandro was being a jerk about bringing someone to the hotel because as corny as it sounds,I just wanted to spend time with Duncan,and i couldn’t do that if one of us was in the 5 star hotel.Not that Alejandro would bring either of us anyway!

At the Elimination Ceremony,I was SO glad to hear that there would be no Boney Island!That place is HORRIBLE!!!!And then,when I thought it couldn’t get any better,Chris told us that there also wouldn’t be anyone going home.I knew there was probably a catch,but,I just didn’t care.

As we were saying goodnight,Duncan slipped a note into my hand and went to the guys side of the cabin.

I waited until I was in bed to read it,and I kept it from Courtney.I don’t know why,I just felt like she ‘wouldn’t approve’ or something.Anyway,the note said

     “Gwen,if you feel like having some fun,meet me at the mess hall at 2.A.M.Everythings funner at night <3 ;]Make sure no 1 sees u.Especially Courtney.</p>

When I read the note,I was so glad I waited till everyone was in bed.I decided to wait up until then.It was 10:30pm so I only had to wait 4 and a half hours..............no problem.

I dozed off a few times,but eventually the time came to go meet Duncan.I got  dressed and made my way to the mess hall.He saw me before I saw him,so Duncan decided to sneak up to me,grab me,and of course,kiss me.We walked over to where he was waiting for me,and I saw that he had a lot of toilet paper and eggs.I could see where he was going with this,but I decided to play dumb.

“Duncan,what are these for?”I asked,trying to sound as dumb as possible.

“WHAT DO YOU THINK BABE?We’re gonna tp and egg the camp.Especially the hotel.”Duncan replied.”UNLESS YOU’RE TOO CHICKEN!”and he started clucking like a chicken.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,great plan,bad boy,but first,I have two questions.

1.Where’d you find all the eggs and toilet paper.And 2.Why didn’t you want me to tell Courtney?”

“Oh come on,Pasty,you need to start comin up with better questions!

1.I was looking around the hotel last night,and found a huge cellar full of cool stuff.And 2.She would follow you,take a video of us and sue the show to have us kicked off.Just to get herself closer to the million bucks.”

I really didn’t wanna laugh,because we were friends again,but I couldn’t help it.It was so accurate it hurt!

We probably stood there laughing for the next 10 minutes laughing.

We finally got it together,grabbed as much toilet paper and eggs as we could carry and made our way over to the hotel.

It was so much fun TP-ing and egging the hotel.And it was the only time alone me and Duncan had since we got there.We finished,and one thing led to another.Next thing I knew we were on the ground making out.Don’t judge me,okay.I know we were outside,and I was still trying to secure Courtney’s trust,and she probably still hated me on the inside,but,I couldn’t help myself.

SEASON 5 EPISODE 9

We finally left,happy with our work,at about 04:30 in the morning and went to bed,only to get about 2 hours of sleep,when we were woken up by Chris’s screaming.We all went out to see what was wrong,and for a minute,I actually forgot everything that happened that night.........Until I looked at the resort.Duncan and I burst out laughing,until I remembered that Chris would probably make us clean it up if he knew me and Duncan did it,so I dug him in the sides and tried to cover my laughter with a fake cough.

It was seriously hard not to laugh at Chris and Chef’s reactions!

After we went behind the hotel and laughed ‘till our sides hurt,Duncan and I eventually went up to the library.I was going to go over to Courtney,but saw she was cuddling up to Scott,and thought it would just be better to ask her about it later,so I went to stand with Cam and Duncan.I had no idea why,but Cameron seemed really cold towards me,and acted like I didn’t exist.

I decided to think about it later,and to focus on the competition right then.I couldn’t believe that Chris was planning a PARTY.I was already getting scared when Chris was listing off the things ‘he hoped no one was allergic to’,but when I saw ZEKE,I kinda started to freak out.But as usual,Duncan was there to calm me down.Courtney even helped!

Like I said I was freaking out when I just SAW Zeke,but when Chef said he wanted us to HUNT FOR HIM,I really started to freak.NO WAY WAS I DOING THAT.I didn’t even LIKE Chris!

Then Chef agreed to that reward........................

There was no way I was going in there alone,so I naturally made Duncan swear on his life that he WOULD NOT LEAVE ME IN THERE,like Trent did when I was buried alive.And yes,I’m still mad about it.I’m really going to sound like Courtney right now,but,to make sure he didn’t leave me in a cold,dark pit,I tied a rope around both of our waists.Its not that I thought Duncan would leave me in there,but I had to be sure.I did think the same with Trent,after all.

We ran to the mines and tried to find a way in.I really wanted to win that reward,but,I was kinda distracted.Duncan noticed and asked me what was wrong,so I told him about Cameron,and that I had no idea what he could be mad about.As always,Duncan calmed me down,told me to forget about Cam and reminded me what was on the line.Aswell as reminding me that ‘I should be paying more attention to him,cause,he was much hotter’.As usual his joke made me focus again and I got my head back in the game.

“Hey Pasty,”Duncan called from a few meters away,still connected to the rope “This must me the entrance.Come on.”And before I could turn to look,I felt myself being pulled down a long,dark tunnel.

“DUNCAAAAAAANNNNN!”I screamed when I eventually hit the ground. “Where are you??????HEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!”

 “Babe,it’s fine,I’m right here.No need to panic.”I heard Duncan say as he hugged me tight.Again,he made me feel better,but after about 5 seconds I came to my senses and grabbed my flashlight.I tried to turn it on but the batteries were dead.I started to freak out again,and then we heard Zoey calling my name as she jumped down the hole.I moved out of the way,but she landed right on top of Duncan.

“OMG Duncan,I am so sorry!Are you alright??”

“Whatever,I’m fine!”Duncan said,obviously really annoyed at Zoey.

“Oh,thank goodness!”Then she turned to me “Gwen,are you okay?I heard you screaming.”Zoey said,clearly worried for me.

“Look,I’m fine Zoey,but we can’t just stand here in the dark,we,ve gotta get out of here.Try your flashlights.”

They tried them and suddenly,we had light.I’ve never been so happy to see a flashlight working before in my life!

We made our way down the mine,when I started hearing grunting sounds.Again,I was freaking out and didn’t even let Zoey or Duncan speak.Then,in the middle of my mindless yabbering,I heard Zoey screaming.Next thing I knew,her flashlight was on the floor and I couldn’t see Zoey anywhere.Neither could Duncan.

“You know what?,Forget this!”I shouted as I walked away,trying to find an exit.

“Gwen?Where are you going?”I heard Duncan call behind me.

“Where do you think?I’m not gonna sit and wait for Zeke to come and stuff me in a bag!” I said,rolling my eyes at him.

 “Good point.......”I heard Duncan say to himself.He thought about it for a second but then ran to join me.

“Then I’m coming with you.Where’s the exit?”

“My hero”I exclaimed sarcastically.”Anyway,I have no idea.Lets just have a look around”

While we were looking around,I saw Cameron laying in the river.Me and Duncan ran to pull him out,and,when he tried to hug us,Duncan pushed him back in the water.I helped him out again,and I was so happy when he said that he trusted me again,but,when he said that ‘Mike had him going’,I started to believe Duncan’s theory of Mike being dangerous even more.The old Mike wouldn’t want Cam to think bad of anyone!

I was going to tell Cameron that we were leaving,but he ran off before I got the chance.Duncan wanted to leave him and get out of there,but,I couldn’t just let my friend run into a radio-active mine and leave him there.So,we had to follow him.

We saw the streamers and I wanted to turn back,but,Duncan,Cameron and Chef ran into the mine.And I was NOT going to stay there by myself.

“I’ll distract Zeke,you get Chris,you saved my life.I owe you this!”Cameron told me and Duncan,before he ran in front of Zeke.

“Get Chris!”Duncan screamed as he ran out after Cameron.

Duncan was a few feet behind Cameron,so he was fine when Cam was buried in rocks.Duncan straight away started pulling them off of him while I shot Zeke with the Spaghetti Gun.

I threw Chris on the ground and ran over to help Duncan get the rocks off of Cameron.We ran out of the mine and went to the campfire for elimination,but,there was no need,because,Cameron was too hurt to keep going.I felt really bad,but,at least he helped me win the prize before he went.......

SEASON 5 EPISODE 10

“OMG,how much more dangerous can these challenges even get?” was all I could think when Chris was explaining the ‘Obsta-kill-course’.Before the challenge,Zoey told me how Alejandro LET Cam fall in the mines.Man,I knew he was evil,but I didn’t think even he was THAT evil.So,yeah,I agreed to voting him off with Zoey and Mike.Even if I didn’t know which version of Mike was in control.

“Oh,great,murderous tires”I thought when I was running through them.And on top of that stupid challenge,I had Alejandro wanting to form an alliance with me!Even after what he did to Cam.It made me sick just to look at him.

When I finally made it passed the tires,surprisingly still in 1 piece,I got to the ropes.What is wrong with those people?I mean,ropes made out of dog hair,electrical wires and LICORICE!?How were we supposed to climb a rope made of licorice?!

Me and Zoey were just laughing and joking about my DISGUSTING rope,when suddenly,I heard Courtney shouting below 

“You two better not be talking about me kissing Scott and Cameron!!”

“You kissed Cameron?!” I screamed.HOW COULD SHE?After all the crap she gave me for kissing Duncan,when they were broken up,she went and kissed Cameron......WHILE SHE WAS WITH SCOTT!!!!!

“I f we survive this,you and I are having a little chat,Courtney.”And I knew exactly what I wanted to say to that two faced little witch!But,at the moment I had to focus on winning.

I finally reached_ the snapping bars_,the thing I’m worst at.......When I was growing up,I could never get all the way across,so,I don’t know how I did it in the challenge.Probably had something to do with the fact that I was hanging above a pond filled with snapping turtles,and seeing Mike,or was it Mal,fall in and get bitten. 

And,of course,when I was SO close to winning,Courtney wanted to talk about her cheating on Scott.”Sorry Courtney,I don’t have time for your lies right now,”and I ran off,leaving her dumbfounded behind the rocks.

Because I ran off,I got to the zipline first.I opened my backpack and took my equipment out.I really thought I was going to win,but,Zoey passed me by an inch!I looked back and saw Mike(or Mal) hanging onto Alejandro.”Smart move”I thought.But,it didn’t end so well,and they fell into the water.Duncan came third,Courtney was fourth and Scott,was dead last.We were waiting for Scott when I realized that I hadn’t seen Duncan for the entire challenge. “Where were you all this time?”I asked.

“Don’t worry about it Pasty.”is all he would say,which got me annoyed,but,I had bigger problems so,I ignored his teasing.

On the way back to camp,I told Duncan about Courtney kissing Cam and Scott,and that I was really annoyed about it.He started going off!He was so mad.

“How could she,after all the kicks to the kiwis,all the screaming,all the arguments,all the hate we put up with!?!?”

“I know,just,let me talk to her later.If shes not voted off......”

“Fine,but you know I’m sure as Hell gonna vote her off!”

And that was the end of the conversation.

At the Elimination Ceremony,it was obvious who was going home,and I could tell Duncan was not happy about it.When Alejandro’s name was called,Duncan went red!I knew he was annoyed at Courtney,like a lot,but I asked him to let me talk to her before he said or did anything.

The night before,I decided I did not want to stay in that hotel anymore.Chris is so weird and as cheesy as it sounds,I missed going asleep and waking up with and near my best friends and my boyfriend.But,because I didn’t want my reward,Chris decided that I had to go to Boney Island!

SEASON 5 EPISODE 11

“Man,Boney Island was rough,well,up until that Woolly Beaver tried to eat me and I climbed a tree and slept in the canopy.It was actually pretty relaxing.” “Well,at least you got some kind of break from this dump,”Duncan said kicking a rock. “Wow”Zoey said simply.Then,Courtney did something really weird! “Yeah,what a nightmare.Luckily,Gwen is super smart and totally strong,so she lived to tell the tale” she said hugging me.I smiled,really weirded out while everyone else rolled their eyes.

“Well,welcome back Gwen.”Zoey said in her usual,sweet voice.I smiled,until I heard Courtney mocking her under her breath.”What!?” I shouted. “Oh,nothing,I was just noticing that cutthroat vibe Zoey has about her.So two-faced.We should shun her.” I was about to say no when I heard Duncan behind me.I turned and he said “Please don’t tell me you’re really gonna ‘shun’ your friend because Princess over here wants you to.” “No,no i’m not.”I said,leaving Courtney dumbfounded on her own.

Courtney caught up with us and I asked Duncan to go on ahead.I decided to talk to her there about kissing Scott and Cam. “Are you still mad at me for all the kissing I did,because Scott was an accident and Cameron kissed me!” she asked “Yes,I’m still mad at you!You gave me and Duncan so much crap because of World Tour even though you were broken up,but,when you do it,everyone is supposed to act like it never happened.And it’s even worse because you and Scott were actually together when ‘Cameron kissed you’ and everyone knew it!” “I know,and I’m so sorry,but I really don’t want to lose you as a friend over some guy again!Can we just put all this behind us?”she pleaded. “So you still wanna go all the way to the finale with me?” “Gwen,I promise.It’s you and me,right to the end.” “Ok then,but so I know I can trust you,you have to vote for whoever I tell you at the Elimination.” “Deal”.And we ran to catch up with everyone else.

Then we ran into Scott. “H-Hey Courtney,you’re looking really,uh,goop,AH,good!I mean,you know,gice,NICE!Agh........UGH!”I started laughing as Courtney really awkwardly thanked him. “Yeah,anytime.And,hey,if you need any help lifting anything,just let me know.”And he did dome cringe yawn and stretch thing,talking about his arms being like a cheetah’s.I started gagging and Courtney and I were laughing and joking,and I was so happy.I did what I went there to do.Courtney ACTUALLY forgave me!

Scott caught up to Mike and Zoey,while Duncan came over to Courtney and I and put his arm around me,like he usually does.I was happy with how me and Courtney’s conversation went,but I knew Duncan wouldn’t be,so I was trying to figure out a way to tell him about it and keep him calm,when I heard Scott talking to Mike and Zoey in the distance. “Hope you two got lots of sleep,’cause I’m feeling as strong as an ox.” “Don’t you mean ‘strong as a rat’?”Scott gave him a confused look,so Mike said “OH,you haven’t seen Courtney’s chart!?”Courtney gasped,and we ran over as Mike pulled out a chart,1st with Duncan drawn as a devil,then with Mike and Zoey drawn somewhat normally and me,drawn with horns and a red nose,all with big red X’s going through them,and finally,there was Scott,drawn with a rat tail,with a big green tick beside it.

“Second last!? ‘right to the end,my butt!”I said as I walked away,Duncan close behind,shooting her a dirty look.

I could hear Scott complaining about Courtney drawing him with a tail,then joining me and Duncan,and Courtney desperately tried to explain. “Oh please,even you can’t talk your way out of this one!”I shouted back at her,without looking back.We all ran to the ice-cream,and Duncan and I were almost at the top of the cliff when Scott pushed me down and ran ahead.I almost fell down but,as usual,Duncan was there to save me.

I was first to get my ice-cream and slid down the cliff all the way to the bottom.Closely followed by Duncan.We ran to the swap with the cherries,and again,I was first to reach them.When Duncan and I heard ‘Snappy’ behind us,I started to freak out and scream,but because Duncan was bottling up so much anger towards Courtney,he threw his bowl to the edge of the swamp and started fighting ‘Snappy’.I ran ahead,and as I was leaving,I saw Duncan getting out of the swamp,looking very satisfied,so I guessed he had one his fight,but,in the background,I also saw Mike swinging down and jumping on the alligator,just as he was recovering from his fight with Duncan.

That confirmed it for me.Duncan was right and Mike was Mal.There was no way Mike would actually fight SNAPPY!Manitoba or Vito maybe,or maybe Svetlana would swing down and grab the cherry,carefully placing it in her bowl,but Mike,would have tried to sneak passed the alligator.

I continued running and Duncan soon caught up.

“Hey,thanks for the save back there.”I said with a smile

“Hey,no problem.Needed to let some anger out anyway.”He said,rolling his eyes towards Courtney,who was desperately trying to get Zoey to be in an alliance with her.

We kept running until we got to the ‘crushed nut zone’.Somehow,Mal had beaten us there,and was already fighting off the robot.We almost sneaked passed it,and got away,but, Mal shouted “Hey guys,look out for the robot!”.It turned it’s attention towards us.I grabbed my crushed nuts as Duncan and I took turns distracting the robot.I ran out of the mess hall after Duncan and tripped over Courtney. “Gwen,I-” Courtney started. “No time to chat!”I said as I tried to run away and catch up. “Wait!I’m sorry.I never should have made that chart.I still want us to be a team,to be friends!Please don’t vote me off.VOTE FOR ZOEY!”She said desperately. “You’re right,you shouldn’t have made that chart,and I can’t forgive you,but I need as many allies as possible,so,if you vote for yourself,like you promised,I’ll vote for Scott,and I’ll try to get Duncan,Zoey and Mike to vote for him too.”I said as I was about to run off again.She stopped me again. “Get real!You’re just trying to make it unanimous!”She whined. “That’s a chance you’ll just have to take” I shouted back as I finally escaped and ran to catch up.

I caught up to Mike and Duncan when they were hiding behind a rock,at the ‘chocolate fire zone’. “Come on Duncan,we can take turns distracting it!”I called over.Duncan agreed,and I was about to run out and distract the fire plant when Mal piped up “Can I help?”he asked. “Sure Mike,but no sabotage this time,OK?”I said as sweetly as I could.He opened his mouth to  defend himself,but Duncan pushed him out to distract the plant.Duncan ran ahead,with his chocolate sauce and I ran and got mine.I considered leaving him there to fight off the plant himself,but decided to help him.I distracted the fire plant like I said I would and waited for Mal to get his chocolate.I was about to run ahead,after he got it,and expected him to follow me,but he dove back behind the rock.

I shook my head and ran to catch up with Duncan.He was almost at the finish line,but Courtney ran in front of him and won the race!I was furious until Chris said that we actually had to eat our sundaes and Zoey won. “Yes!Courtney is going DOWN!”I thought.

I decided to keep my promise and vote for Scott,but I didn’t say anything to Duncan,Zoey or Mal about voting for him too.I t wouldn’t have made a difference though.Everyone was super annoyed at Courtney after that chart,including me.I was seriously happy when Courtney was flushed down that giant toilet.It meant that I could become better friends with Zoey,and Mike when he gained back control.I also knew that Duncan was happy too.Now,we could also focus on our relationship with each other,not with Courtney.

“Welcome to the Final 5!Zoey,the spa hotel is all yours because......from now on,winners can’t take anyone along with them.”I heard Chris say as I walked back to the cabin.I was kinda disappointed.I never felt safe around Mal,ever since Duncan told me about Juvie.

SEASON 5 EPISODE 12

When I got back to camp,I was really excited,and was going to go to the confessional when Duncan stopped me.

“Where are you going,Pasty?”He asked.He looked kind of worried.

“To the confessional,why?”I asked.

“No reason.........I’m coming with you”He answered,kinda abruptly.

I simply answered, “Ok” and we made our way there.

I walked in and expected Duncan to just wait outside,but he came in and I really didn’t mind

“We’re the last 2 original cast members left on the island!”I said excitedly while leaning against Duncan,smiling up at him. “But,if we’re going to make it all the way,we need to get some allies.”I said thoughtfully. “Other than each other.”I butted in right as Duncan was about to say something. “But then again,Mike and Zoey are my friends,and they wouldn’t vote one of us off,just like I would never vote one of them off.Neither would Duncan,right babe?”I asked

“Well,honestly babe,Mal’s gotta go.He ain’t right.”He said.The more I thought about it,the more I realized that he was right.If it came down to it,I would probably vote Mal off too.

“Yeah I guess,but Scott needs to go!”

“Agreed!”

Then we left to go back to the cabins.

Even though we were gonna vote Scott of,I decided to be nice to him,so I went up to him and said: “Hey,Scott.How are you holding up?”He scoffed “What do you care?” “Sorry,I....”I started to apologize “I don’t want your pity.I want your head on a platter!”He threatened. Duncan came over and told him to back off. “Thanks,Duncan,but it’s fine.”I said as I walked away into the girls cabin.

I could here Duncan and Scott arguing outside,but I ignored them and tried to fall asleep.After I prayed that Scott would wake up in the morning.

We woke up to Chris screaming into the loudspeaker,as usual.

“Good morning Final 5!Gather on the dock,pronto-rooni-o.It’s crunch time!And by that,I mean your about to get crunched.”He said before he started laughing hysterically like the psychopath he is.

I walked with Duncan,as we made a list of all the horror movies we were gonna watch when we got home.

He eventually got to the point and told us what the challenge was.We needed to find something valuable on the island.I scoffed,turned to Duncan and said “Chris’ idea of ‘valuable’ is pretty skewed.He’s such an ego maniac,his most prized  possession is himself.” “Too true Pasty”Duncan replied as we tried not to laugh.

We had to find whatever was in the treasure chest we opened,and because Zoey won,she went first.I went next and had to find the gold key from Chef’s go carts from Season 4.Then,Duncan went,and he had to find Mr coconut.Apparently,he was lost after Chris threw him away in season 1.Scott went next,then Mal.Duncan and I decided that for this challenge,we would try and win it on our own,because,we’ve helped each other so much this season.

When Chris said that 2 of us were going home though,we decided to help each other just a bit. “OK how ‘bout this,whoever finds their treasure first helps the other?”Duncan suggested. “WOW,that’s actually a really good idea,Duncan!”I said,surprised.

We all ran to find our ‘loot’.I checked Chef’s kitchen first.I must have smashed every smashable thing in there!Good thing Chef didn’t catch me!But,no matter where I looked,the gold key just wasn’t there. “Oh man!”I thought. “Where else would Chris and Chef keep a key?”Then I remembered that the gold car was the car that didn’t work,so they probably threw it out. “It’s a long shot,but it might still be in the trash.”I said to myself.I made my way over to the dump and bumped into Duncan. 

“Wow,what are you doing?”I asked looking him up and down. “Isn’t it obvious?Chris threw Mr.Coconut into the water,so he’s gotta be there somewhere.”he answered,like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “Where you goin’?”he asked. “The key wasn’t in the kitchen,and I figured they would have thrown the key out,since that kart didn’t work,so I’m hoping it’ll still be in the trash.”I said. “Cool,well,good luck Pasty.” “Right back at ya Juvie.”,and I made my way to the trash.

I got there and started digging through the dumpster.Suddenly,I heard someone moving behind me. “AHHHHHHH”I screamed,and hit the person over the head with a baseball bat I found.The person stood up and growled! “Oh my God!What are you doing here.......Mike?!”I was about to say Mal,but I stopped myself.He hesitated. “Oh,uh.......I.....was just..um.......looking for my treasure,yeah um.........I need to find an original golden Chris statue,so I......just...um.....figured it would be in the dump.......so............yeah”I looked at him suspiciously. “Whatever......”I finally said,after a long and awkward silence.I kept looking,trying to avoid Mal as much as possible.

“So..........ummmm.........you know,i was just thinking that me,you and Zoey should make an alliance.........or......something.”He said awkwardly,after a really long pause. “Let me talk to Duncan”I said back coldly. “Well........I mean,I like Duncan,you know that.........it’s just........I was thinking it would be just you,me and Zoey,you know?” “Ugh,yeah right!Fat chance of that happening”I said rolling my eyes.

I quickly found the key and got out of there before Mal could say anything else.When I got back,Zoey had already won, and Duncan and Scott were already there.Even though Scott didn’t have his treasure.Later,at the elimination ceramony,Zoey got to choose who to flush out of me,Mal and Duncan.Scott automatically got the boot for coming back empty handed. “I’m really sorry Gwen,but I promised Mike I’d take him to the finale if I won,and you’re a really strong competitor.”she said hanging her head in shame while Scott was sitting in the flush of shame.

“If Gwen’s going, I’m going too!”Duncan said suddenly,climbing into the flush of shame. “Fine,whatever,makes things easier for me!”Chris agreed carelessly. “Duncan?!What are you doing?You have a chance to win ANOTHER million bucks!”I gasped. “I don’t need it Pasty!Still have loads left over from TDA.Anyway,I only came back cause you wanted to.” “Awww,thanks Duncan!Hey,Zoey,I really hope you win!And watch out for ‘Mike’!”I said staring straight at Mal.He simply looked around cluelessly,whistling that annoying song.

I’m not going to do episodes now that they were eliminated

And just like that,we were all flushed down the flush of shame,and sent back to ‘playa de losers’.We washed up on the shore of the beach,and walked over to the villa.When we walked in,they were all sitting around the pool.Lindsay turned around first and squealed “OMG Gwen!What are you doing here?!And Duncan too?!”I rolled my eyes as she pulled me into a hug and I hugged her back. “We were eliminated,Lindsay,just like you were.”

I pulled away from the hug and walked over to Cameron,rolling my eyes at Courtney as I did. “Hey,buddy.How you feeling?” “Oh,I’m fine!The doctor said I’ll only need my full-body cast for another 2 months!”he said excitedly. “Um........wow...that’s so....great!”I answered awkwardly.

The three of us that had just arrived went around to everyone,catching up on everything that had happened since they were eliminated.Duncan and I avoided Courtney,while Scott ran over to her as soon as we walked up.Me and Duncan just looked at him,looked at each other,and rolled our eyes.

We found out which rooms we were in and went to unpack and relax.Me and Duncan had rooms right next to each other,at the end of the hall.Duncan winked at me when we were going into our rooms and I just laughed and winked back.I unpacked my suitcase and went to join everyone else at the pool.Duncan was there,dipping doing laps around the pool.I went and put my feet in the water. “Wow!I never took you as a swimmer!” “Yeah,well......you just gonna sit there all night?”he asked,staring at me jokingly.I jumped in and started splashing him. “Oh,yeah,that’s how you wanna play?”he said,splashing me back.We continued splashing each other,and were wrestling in the water,when we heard a camera click.We turned and were shocked to see Sierra pointing her phone at us,taking a million pictures. “O.M.G!You two are sooooo cute together!My followers on my Gwuncan blog are gonna LOVE this.” 

We both rolled our eyes again and got out of the pool. “Way to ruin the mood,Stalkzilla!”Duncan shouted back at her.I laughed and we talked and joked until we got to our rooms.I had a shower and got ready for bed.I only remembered when my stomach started growling like crazy that I hadn’t eaten anything since Chef’s slop that morning.Then,I remembered that I was in a villa,that had ACTUAL FOOD and ran down to the kitchen.

Right as I was about to enter the kitchen when I heard the cupboard opening and pots and pans clanking together.I shook my head,rolled my eyes and walked in.I was expecting to see someone in there,but there was only a half eaten doughnut,in the shape of............Cody......sitting there on the table.I shrugged it off and went over to the fridge.I stood there for a few minutes,in awe.I hadn’t seen that much REAL FOOD for almost 2 months!I grabbed all the ingredients for my favorite grilled cheese and went over to the pans.I opened the cupboard and screamed!

“SIERRA?What  are you doing?!”I screamed. “Gwen favorite food:Grilled Cheese!”she said into her phone. “Oh,sorry Gwen!I was just hiding in there so I could see what you were doing!”she said,as if that isn’t creepy at all!I rolled my eyes again and grabbed a pan behind her.I made my sandwich and listen her going on about how ‘me and Duncan are soooooo cute together,even though boyfriend stealing is wrong,and almost all of her followers love us together and blah blah blah.’ I can’t even count the amount of times I rolled my eyes from the time that it took me to make my grilled cheese to clean up afterwards.

Even though I felt like my head was going to explode,I stayed for a while and listened to her rambling on.I eventually got away from her at about 10 ‘o clock and went up to my room.I found the letters my family and friends sent me on the dresser.I opened up one from my brother,and he told me that my mom was acting crazy again,and told me that I looked really stupid chasing Courtney around the way I did.In another letter,he told me that he was had re-watched the episode where I screamed at Duncan and Courtney about 1 million times.I laughed when I read that.I opened the letters from my mom next,and she just went on and on about how much they both missed me.I got 1 letter from Pixie Corpse,Reaper and Marilyn,which they wrote together.Reaper wrote that I needed to forget that stuck up b**ch and ‘focus on my dumbass boyfriend’,so it was obviously sent before episode 5.Marilyn went on about how stupid Duncan was being,while Pixie went on about how much they all hate Courtney.

I finally decided to stop re-reading my letters at around 11pm and went to sleep.

The next morning,I woke up,got in my swimwear and went down for breakfast in the dining room.I sat beside Cameron and Duncan sat beside me.I had to help Cameron with his food because of his cast,but I didn’t mind.It was kind of my fault he was hurt anyway.After breakfast,I put on sunscreen and layed on a beach lounger near the pool.I was just getting comfortable,when Duncan ran up and drenched me from head to toe with a bucket of ice water.I screamed and pushed him in the pool.I laughed and jumped in beside him.Lindsay,Sierra,Sam,Joe and Lightning jumped in after us,and we were all having a great time,while Heather stared at us in disgust,Alejandro stared at her in awe,Courtney stared at her PDA and Scott stared at her,drooling.

After a while,everyone got out,but me and Duncan stayed.We stopped joking around and just hung out at the edge. “So,you’re really not annoyed that you missed out on a million bucks?”I asked,looking up at him,smiling curiously. “Nah.I don’t need it.I only put up with Chris because you were there anyway.”I laughed,and splashed him.This spiked up another water fight,and we eventually started wrestling again.

A while later,we stopped because the lunch buffet was served.

Every day was pretty much the same,for about 3 days,until the day of the finale came.That morning,we all got ready and had breakfast.Then,we were brought to the camp and put in giant balloons.As soon as we saw the balloons,Duncan and I stared at each other with fear. “Oh,man,what’s Chris gonna do to us now?” I asked myself.I thought for sure that Cameron was still too injured to participate,since he was still in a bubble,with a broken arm,but they shoved him into a balloon anyway.

We were left flouting there for a while,until eventually,just as my claustrophobia started acting up,we heard voices. Chris explained to Zoey and Mal that they had 30 seconds to try and shoot us down,and any one of us they got down,would be their teammate.My claustrophobia really started to act up and I screamed for help.I could hear Duncan trying to calm me down,but I continued screaming.In the background,I heard Zoey and Mal shooting at us,and eventually,Zoey shot me down.

I ran over to her and hugged her tight,thanking her the whole time. “No problem Gwen,but I kinda need to shoot someone else down!”she said in her sweet,soft voice. “Oh!Right!Sorry!”I said,backing away.Zoey shot down Cameron next and Mal was able to shoot down Alejandro and Heather.Chris told us time was up and told one of the interns to collect everyone else,right as a huge gust of wind came and blew them all away. “Oh my God,Duncan!!I screamed. “Chris!How are you going to get them down?!”I asked,as Zoey stroked my arm calmly. “I don’t know,the interns will handle it.”He said,shrugging his shoulders.

Chris continued explaining the final challenge,while Alejandro and Heather made goo-goo eyes at each other,I kept looking up worriedly,Zoey and Cameron tried to calm me down,and Mal stared at nothing,groaning Mike’s name a few times.I didn’t notice until Chris mentioned it that Alejandro and Heather were actually DATING!I laughed and cringed for a few seconds until I remembered Duncan.I can’t believe I didn’t notice how disgusting those 2 were!It was kinda sad to see their rivalry end....

We followed Chris onto the cart and over to the challenge.When I actually saw ‘The Moats Of Doom’,I decided that I had to forget that Duncan had just floated into space,and focus on the challenge.Unless I wanted someone to get mutated like that Dakota chick,burned alive and have to be stuck in a robot suit like Alejandro,or have a shark as an enemy like Scott.

“So......excited?”Chris asked. “This challenge is crazy!”I exclaimed throwing my arms down. “Let’s not try to hurt Mal!”Zoey said desperately to me and Cameron, “Mike’s still in there,right Cameron?”.Cameron sighed sadly and said “I don’t think so,Zoey.And it’s possible that Mal was always Mal and Mike was just one personality.Either way,Mike’s gone.”

I looked at Zoey sympathetically while tears started to form in her eyes.I was sad too!I didn’t really know Mike that well,since I had only spoken to Mike as himself a small amount of times,and I only really knew what I had seen on the few episodes I watched of Total Drama Revenge Of The Island.Suddenly,Zoey came to her senses,wiped her eyes and said “Well,if Mal really is Mal,let’s go out,crush him,and win this thing!”. “Yeah!”I exclaimed as I high-fived Zoey.

She tried to high five Cameron from inside his bubble,but he rolled down the hill and over to Mal. “Keep your garbage on your side!”Mal laughed as he kicked Cameron passed Chris.Chris did the outro to the break,and we all prepared for the final challenge.

Zoey and I rolled Cameron over to the opposite side of the challenge and we were waiting to start when Mal called over, “Good luck Zoey!You’re gonna need it!”and he continued with evil laughter.Cameron looked over at him scared,while I gave him the stink eye. “No way I’m letting this jerk win a million bucks!”I thought.

Chris started the challenge and we ran to the first moat. “It’s too wide to jump across!”Zoey yelled desperately. “Maybe we could use these as stilts,” I suggested.I picked them up and tried lacing them in the toxic goop. “Or not”I said throwing the sticks down.We stood there desperately trying to think of something when Cameron piped up. “I have an idea,but I’m not crazy about it.” Zoey and I looked at each other suspiciously,and the next thing I knew we were sailing across the moat on Cameron’s bubble.

Zoey and I jumped off of the bubble right as it started sizzling up and Cameron was shot into Zoey’s arms. “Zoey has crossed the first moat.Zoey is in the lead.Zoey!Winning!”Chris said loudly,trying to annoy Mal.It worked,and Mal pole vaulted over the moat as me and Cameron started climbing the ladder.When he landed,he almost lost his balance and fell into the moat. “MIKE?!”Zoey screamed when she saw her boyfriend almost fall into a pit of toxic waste.

“Hey!He’s not Mike!”I shouted. “Remember that or he’ll introduce you to a pool of lava!” I understood she was concerned,but honestly,I was more concerned about making sure Zoey won!And more importantly,making sure ‘Mal’ lost! “Ok.Right.I know that.I do.”Zoey answered,as she ran to the ladder.

I helped Cam and Zoey up the ladder,fairly confident we were wayyy in the lead,but Mal was right behind us.We thought quickly and put the ladder across the lava so we could get over it.Just as Zoey was across and I was starting to climb over,Mal ran over and threw Cameron down beside the toxic waste.The ladder began to burn just as Zoey was in the middle,but she ran across before she fell in the lava.After I was sure she was ok,I turned to Mal. “You’ve got some nerve,you know that?!”and I went to hit him,but he grabbed my hand and threw me down beside Cam.I got up and we made our way over to Alejandro and Heather.The pain in my ankle was horrible,so I was in no mood for Heather when she said;“What’s wrong with you?” in her usual,whiney voice.

TO BE CONTINUED

[newheather-blog]

Could you rate Duncney, Gwent, and Gwuncan (and maybe even Scourtney) because of the Love Triangle™

( rate the character/ship. )

hoo boy.

Now we’re getting into the bigger ships, huh. So! This one’s gonna get long and I’ll put the majority of my thoughts under a readmore. I will preface this by saying I definitely see the merits to each ship, especially the first three as they relate to s1, and my feelings on all of them are about as complicated as my own opinions on the main three related to it! And, honestly, especially when most ships are concerned in this series I’m definitely always open to hearing fans’ opinion of it and pointing out where maybe I’ve got the wrong idea. I’m definitely not the expert on any of these five characters that are getting brought up.

also, I’ve missed about ten years of debate to all of these ships, and I’ve only skimmed defenses because I don’t find myself in the tags that often. I’m definitely open to discussing all of them because I’m bound to either be misremembering or misinterpreting something!

well then. let’s jump in!

I’ll go in order asked, I think. Originally I was going to list them from fave to least fave but order asked may end up being neater. So:

Dun.cn.ey:Overall: 6-8, depending on the season.

Definitely not my favorite flagship, uh, ship, but I was very surprised to see that they did have a lot more of a rapport and chemistry than I remembered from watching years ago. Actually, I completely forgot it happened in s1, and it wasn’t all s2 onwards that had it starting. I actually really enjoy how Courtney and Duncan bounce off each other normally, even outside of a ship context. They’re fun to watch! And I definitely have a soft spot for the TDDDI special. They make a great dynamic duo, and in a way they’re the predecessors for… I wouldn’t go so far to say the “villain duo” because I maintain that neither of them are really, truly villains but that sort of dynamic that we’ll see shades of with other, more driven and snarky characters teaming up. They’re a great time to watch!

…Aaaaand Action and sliding into World Tour…. and then to All-Stars… ouch. Action! Courtney continues to puzzle me, as where I like her subplot in theory and understand where they were coming from, there’s just… parts that rub me the wrong way that I feel are less story beats to do with Duncan and more something on the writing level I’d need to rewatch Action much more closely to properly parse. They definitely break up, and hard, and go out of their way to be cruel to each other in a way that… well, I wouldn’t say doesn’t make sense for their age or characters, but it does hurt a little to see, as someone who was reasonably surprised by how engaging they were to begin with and someone whom is sad to see how far they end up falling. I liked them at least being friends, and personally it’s a little uncomfortable sitting through how nasty they end up becoming towards one another. It makes me a teensy bit sad, complicated feelings or not. That’s life, I guess. And I guess the real rating should be more like… 8 to 6, where they start out okay and then just become something hard to stomach.

This ship bums me out as someone who has had not so great breakups in real life. Could’ve had it all, I guess.

Gw.en.tOverall: 6.5-6.9.

I remember really liking this ship when I was younger, actually. For as poor as my memory ended up being, I remember having a soft spot for their interactions, even as I struggled to remember a single thing about poor Trent. Knowing what happens in Action does kind of color how I saw their interactions in s1 re-watching, though, so I guess in that respect I’m much more inclined to be a little less enthused about it.

But, fair shakes and all. They also have a really good place to start from, a good rapport, even though Heather reading the diary aloud should… maybe have been more of a plot point than it ended up being. C’mon, that was a brilliant power move on her part and it’s never brought up again! I get the feeling it’s kind of supposed to be one of those popular/unpopular ships in s1, but honestly it felt more like two loners jiving than anything else. Not a bad thing, just an observation.

I do think they ultimately work better as just close friends, though. And it’s a shame we never really see them properly reconcile, because Gwen gets bounced immediately into another ship fiasco before she’s even had properly time to breathe– well, okay, we’ve got a year between s2 and s3, but the audience doesn’t see the reconcile/attempt at reconciliation at all, and I don’t even think they talk but once in World Tour after Gwen is eliminated, which is really kind of bizarre.

Can’t help but feel a little uncomfortable with Gwen in Action, and the breakup with Trent is a part of it. Action is kind of all over the place in the first half, though, so for what it is worth they aren’t the only mess there.

I wish they could’ve been friends again. Like, really wish that had happened.

Gw.un.canOverall: 4.5-5.

Honestly, I knew it was only a matter of time before I’d have to bring this one up, and I feel semi-bad, because this seems to have a very sweet following– but this ship has just never done anything for me. I don’t hate it, but I’ve always just been indifferent to their interactions romantically.

I don’t understand where their chemistry was in s1. I don’t know why it suddenly was apparently so obvious in s2. I know Gwen and Duncan talked a little in s1, but was it that much to where it was decided that’s the direction they should go? It’s easily one of the most baffling decisions in the entire series to me because I cannot for the life of me find any romantic chemistry between the two of them. In some ways, I do understand why they’d be attracted to each other in theory. But their relationship has always read as just friends to me up until World Tour went and made it a big subplot, and honestly that just makes the both of them look even worse? If the writers wanted to make them a couple to root for in some way, World Tour was not the way to go about it. Again, I just end up feeling sorrier and sorrier for Courtney instead of excited these two actually got together.

They do have good friendship potential, though! Clearly they would be friends outside of a competition setting, and they do have a lot in common. I just find their switch to suddenly into one another to be abrupt and really clumsily written and even in All-Stars when they do break up I don’t have really any reaction at all. This ship certainly happened, and I’m sure there’s some potential there, as it definitely captivated enough people, but I’ve just never seen it.

Sc.ourt.neyOverall: 6-7.

Honestly, this is definitely a ship I gave an unfair shake to the first time I rewatched All-Stars. For some context, I’ve seen the entire season three times in full: once right after Revenge, once after World Tour, and again recently in order to take some notes on Heather. For some reason or other, this has ended up being the season I know way more about than I’ve wanted to.

It probably isn’t fair to judge this ship entirely on what All-Stars gives us, either, because Scott and Courtney are just… so nerfed in it that it isn’t fair to either. I think with a full season they could have ended up with a rapport that’s at least a lot more interesting than what we actually have to work with. In theory, I understand them falling for each other, too, and actually I find their rather blunt interactions kind of hilarious the more I go back and engage with them.

In theory, this could have worked. Or, at least, it wouldn’t have felt as out of nowhere and out of place as it does in the All-Stars we actually got. I think if Courtney wanted an ally, Scott is the perfect choice on the Vultures! And had he been back to his usual antics but outsmarted by her, I think their foundation would’ve been a lot stronger. I also think this ship as-is suffers from just not enough time in the episodes to really develop mutually, both because there’s only 13 episodes and because Courtney is also constantly pulled into the remaining fragments of World Tour drama.

So, yes. In theory I see how it could’ve been really fun, but in the source material I’m less than enthused, much like how I feel about gw.ourt.ney. But, hey, that’s what fanworks are for, right? I could see a rewrite of AS running them very effectively in much the same way.

Not my favorite ship for either character, though, sadly.

#toca.txt #I tried to be as respectful as possible to the fans but hey! #you're asking a co.urn fan at the end of the day. I do have a fondness for a couple of these ships though #also tried to keep these out of the ship tags as much as possible #again! if I got smth wrong feel free to hit up my ask box because I am in no way an expert on any of these five characters or four ships #confessionals #gwen tag #courtney tag #trent tag #duncan tag #scott tag #ship: duncney #ship: gwent #ship: gwuncan #ship: scourtney

[kween-heather]

I made a meme

- it’s making fun of Gwuncan so feel free to ignore if you ship it, also no hate to Gwuncan as a ship, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The execution of Gwuncan’s getting together was utter garbage. It involved Duncan betraying Courtney’s trust (cheating or not, he had over a day to tell Courtney he wasn’t interested) and Gwen could of told Duncan; “yes I like you, but you need to confront Courtney.” If the network demanded for fresh to split up Duncney, they should of done it nicely, not spitefully with a revenge arc being the result, and making the cheater the hero of the trio / making it furthest.

this one

okay well total drama has a LOT of obvious mistakes and most of them come from the time in which it was written and published and the rushed season of only 13 instead of 26 episodes starting with ROTI

i also feel like they treat their characters and ships very badly, making them go right back where they started if they ever get any growth, which rarely happens. or their development is too sudden and not believable. priya, max, scarlett, that mini-arc shasmine had about splitting the money, aleheather in TDWT, prileb in TD 2024...

i rewatched ROTI and the girls were mistreated horribly. what can you expect from a season where the finalists are two guys? dakota’s internal issues were never discussed further than a funny haha moment when dawn read her aura, dawn never got to do anything for her team and her elimination was rushed, jo’s internalized mysoginy was a haha joke and never adressed properly, zoey had a whole villain-and-back-to-hero arc and STILL didn’t make finale???

also i hate when they introduce some groups and never further develop them, or develop them very little. lindsay, beth and ezekiel could’ve been an ICONIC trio. i miss leshawna and gwen’s friendship so much, and same goes for bowie and emma. jo and brick had so much potential to become allies or at least frenemies, amy and sammy were not handled well, THE E-SCOPE TRIO!!! i’m in shambles

so if i wrote TDI i’d just give the characters some proper development, more moments to shine, more fun relationships with the others. this show is based on its characters, they’re the stars!! so why not make them shine instead of burn??

gen 1 is too much work to rewrite but i’d keep TDI about the same except have a leshawna vs gwen finale, with leshawna as a ‘canon’ winner. TDA would have a harold vs lindsay finale with harold as the ‘official’ winner.

in TDWT i’d cut the duncney-gwuncan arc, make duncan never come back cuz fuck that guy, gwourtney wins. sierra gets better development. noah makes merge and fulfills his schemer role, constantly sabotaging alejandro. they become frenemies. aleheather still wins and goes to finale. alejandro doesn’t get the robot costume and we don’t hear from him again until TDAS.

for ROTI, would make jo a proper antagonist and make her butt heads with scott when the merge happened. my final six for ROTI would be scott, jo, zoey, brick, lightning and anne maria. yes, brick and anne maria, you read that right.

i still think scott shouldn’t make finale, and jo only if she got development. so maybe the merge could happen just two episodes earlier to get more stuff out of them, so the merge would include cameron and mike. scott would go before jo, and jo would be left to fend for herself after scott got cameron eliminated. this is where i would make her develop a friendship with anne maria and brick. get zoey in there and you have the anti-scott alliance. they get him out (NO TRAUMA CHAIR NEEDED, HE WILL BE FINE) and then lightning, then the girls unite against brick. sorry man.

the finale would be between two of the girls, i’d like to see jomaria or joey fight, jo needs that development. the one who gets out previously is an insta-elimination and not decided by the others.

and voilá! jo gets development and some healthy friendships! her and brick could also get together but maybe in another season. this season is for her alone to shine, she deserves it.

oh, and that’s the main thing about ROTI - i’d give them two more seasons. they deserve a WT-esque season.

i’d completely rewrite TDPI. make rodney first diss when the girls are disgusted by him (and also shit him cuz fuck him), dave an earlier boot, get beardo like third or fourth cuz i wanna see more of him, give scarlett a proper character arc instead of a rushed one throughout just one episode, make max a bit smarter and let him become a ‘hero’ rather than a villain he wants to be by rescuing everyone from scarlett since he knows her weaknesses best...

my ideal final five are shawn, jasmine, max, topher and ella. also my five favorites so no wonder. i’ll explain their arcs.

topher - 5th: shawn and jasmine, as well as max and ella, become duos after the scarlett incident (maybe it happens earlier?), and topher is outside of any alliance. plus he was getting kinda annoying, not to mention he gave chris too many ideas for challenges. damn it, topher!

ella - 4th: when she is forbidden from singing, she still goes behind chris’ back and does it, only that she intercepts sugar’s note and burns it. sugar is an earlier boot than originally because ella realizes she just hates her guts and she’s trying to befriend her for nothing. when ella stops singing, she puts her head in the game more than usual, but her refusal to hurt animals and serenade them instead gets her out eventually, by chris, not by the others.

max - 3rd: with no alliance and a softer spot than usual, he gets out at his own, last challenge.

finale: shawn vs jasmine

the same conflict about splitting the money, only that it comes earlier and is developed more. for one, chris shows jasmine the confessionals right after max’s voting ceremony.

shawn’s helper ends up being ella, but she’s been watching from playa des losers and is unhappy with how shawn treated jasmine. meanwhile, max is jasmine’s helper. max and jasmine sabotage shawn, ella doesn’t help him, but then when max and ella are given the controls for the island, they both realize the gravity of what they’ve done when they see shawn and jasmine buried in snow.

both jasmine and shawn get an ending. in both endings, jasmine gets out of the snow, doesn’t pay attention to the finish line, and goes to search for shawn, who pops out in confusion. the two have a heart-to-heart interrupted by chris to announce the race is still happening, and they have ten seconds left. in shawn’s ending, jasmine just nods to him and he crosses; in jasmine’s ending, shawn insists she crosses. pretty similar endings, the outcome is about the same, but i like to think jasmine’s is the ‘canon’ one.

and then they get another season!

so, our seasons are...

gen 1 - 3 seasons: total drama island, total drama action, total drama world tour

gen 2 - 3 seasons: total drama revenge of the island, total drama retour, total drama cruise or lose

gen 3 - 2 seasons: total drama pahkitew island, total drama reaction

gen 1 x gen 2 x gen 3: total drama all stars

TDAS would include eight contestants of each generation. gen 1 gets heather, alejandro, owen, noah, gwen, courtney, sierra, and leshawna. gen 2 gets jo, anne maria, zoey, mike, brick, cameron, lightning and scott. gen 3 gets shawn, jasmine, topher, max, ella, sugar, sammy and scarlett.

and then for the reboot i’d just make bowie win for the first season. the second season would have more development.

emma and bowie become friends again. mkulia become reluctant allies but still dislike each other. eventually they warm up to each other tho 👀. ripaxel also happens over the course of more episodes. couples butt heads - mkulia, rajbow and ripaxel - but mkulia dominate the game. short ripaxel-mkulia alliance in which they get out prileb (who have a better development trust), wayne and bowie.

damien gets to keep his immunity idol but doesn’t need to use it until the final five: axel, julia, mk, damien and raj. the girls unite against him, but he and raj voted for julia, so you can imagine mk is unhappy, but damien wins immunity. yikes.

so finale time is damien, raj and axel. everyone gets an ending, but damien is the ‘canon’ winner because HE DESERVED IT COME ON.
