 * 4) The winning team is INVINCIBLE!!!
 * 5) Fans and competitors will vote for the bottom two of the team via poll.

Week 1
Sunshine: Welcome one and all... to TOTAL DRAMA AUTHOR 3!!!!! Nalyd decided he was tired of hosting, so this season your beloved host will be none other than EVERYONE'S FAVORITE PIXIE!!!!!! *waits for applause, there is none* Here with me is my lovely co-host, SPRINKLEMIIIIISSSSTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *still no applause* ...oh... right... no one's here yet...

Tdiandrockmusic2:WOOHOO! GO SUNSHINE, GO SPRINKLE!!! (LOL, I shouldn't have had those Cocoa Puffs.)

Tdirm2(Tdiandrockmusic2)-*listens to Coldplay and patiently waits for the other competitors*

TBTDIF: N-Nalyd's not hosting? WHAT!? Is he gonna compete? It's nothing without original Season 1 veterans. So far I'm the only one.

Tdirm2-I could have joined the first two seasons, but I didn't. So it makes me an almost veteran.

TBTDIF: I don't think you were even here first season. Didn't you wanna join second season though?

NIzzy: Hi, it's me NIzzy! *silence* Aw c'mon!

Chimmy: Hey, it's me! Just so I'm not asking this during the challenge, where do we post the stories?

Tdirm2:TBTIF, I had an anoymous account for season one, I considered making an account and signing up. I have no clue why I didn't sign up for TDAuthor 2. I probably would have gotten bowled over by Gigi, Sprinkle, and Sunshine.

Sprinklemist: Chimchar, There will be spaces on this page for each author to put their story after the challenge is announced. Welcome to our first nine signer uppers. *glares at the lovely comment* It's true.

Chimmy: Thanks! (Yeah, n00bish as I'll ever be. XD.)

Owester: I'm back. I hope I'll do better.

Anonymos: I'm BAAAAAAAACK!!! Who missed me?

Chimmy: Wow. I'm so honored to...type..among these great authors...LOL.

CK11: Same...w00t

Usitgz: I'm back and as ready as ever.

Tdifan: Yep, me too! Ready to rock! *plays really long guitar solo*

Sprinklemist: Only one more spot to fill.

NIzzy: I feel hyper! (Thats danger to everybody)

Tdafan:RUN!!!!!!!

NIzzy: Yay sugar rush!!!! LOL

Chimmy:NIzzy, me too! Let's play Duck-Duck-Snipe! Or Pin-the-tail-on-the-towel! Ooh! Or even Jump-Off-My-Neighbor's-roof-with-my-friend-Mr. Phil Broomy!

NIzzy: Yay! *attacks someone*

Tdifan: and I thought I was strange....o_0

Tdafan:Same here*walks off to the lake*

NIzzy: I'm not stange I'm emotional damged! (LOL)

Tdafan:*swims*

Chimmy: *Notices Phil battered on the floor.* NIzzy, you attacked Phil. PHIL! Speak to me!

Phil: ...

Chimmy: NOOOOOOOOOOOO! You monster! (JK, by the way. But I think Phil went to the great closet in the sky...XD)

Tdirm2:*turns off Coldplay* Hey everybody!

Chimmy: *Is mourning Mr. Phil Broomy.*

Tdirm2:Is everybody insane except me?

Tdifan: *Points to NinjaIzzy and Chimmy and whispers to Tdirm2* Those two scare me......

Chimmy: I HEARD THAT!! I picked it up through my supersonic hearing. I am NOT crazy! Now excuse me while I mourn my dearly departed broom friend. *Goes back to mourning*

Rocky: *arrives* Don't wanna be some fanfic writing idiot!

Tdifan: Hey, Rocky! *high fives Rocky*

NIzzy: I'm not crazy I'm just depressed and I did'nt kill anyone! He's just KO'd!!!!

Chimmy: ...Could it be? Mr. Broomy?

Mr.Broomy: *Hops up*

Chimmy:HE'S ALIIVE!! MR. BROOMY LIVES TO SWEEP ANOTHER DAY! (XD)

NIzzy: I thought I had mental problems...

Tdifan: Oh, don't worry! You still have mental problems! *points to Chimmy* She just has more! XD

NIzzy: Okay I can deal with that...*get out gun that shoots chainsaw's* MWAHA!!!

Tdifan:*runs away*

NIzzy: *laughs* I was'nt gonna shoot anyone why do you think my parents let me have a gun!

Chimmy: Uhh...Tdifan, I'm a she. But even though I have mental problems, no Mental Institution can hold me!

Random nurse: Time to go night-night, Chimmy...

Chimmy: NEVER!! CHIMMY GOES NIGHT-NIGHT WHEN CHIMMY PLEASES!!! *Runs off to Tibet with Mr. Broomy.*

Tdirm2:The first challenge cannot come too early.

Sorrel: *appears as usual* who are these people i mean i reconginze her *points to TDifan* and him *points to Rocky* and you 2 *points to Sunshine and Sprinkle*

Cards: I'm so glad to be here!! I hope I don't get the boot first!!

Sorrel: *acting ditzy like lindasy* who are you???

Chimmy:I don't know how to explain the others to Sorrel, but I'm Chimchar2356025. I'm a newcomer who wants to become a better writer. By the way, does anyone want some Blubber Nuggets I picked up in Tibet? Mmmmmm, they're chewy!

Tdafan:Sorrel,Tdifan,Rocky we need to make sure TBTDIF is the first voted off.You in???

Sorrel: hi chimchar uh 23456

Chimmy:It's 2356025. Oh, and Tdafan, I'd gladly join you if it means not getting kicked off 1st!

Tdafan:Thanks Chimmy Im gonna go out and catch some waves before our challenge

Chimmy:I'll give you a jar to aid in the process! (Bad pun alert!)

Tdafan:ok then...*starts surfing*

Sunshine: Welcome to this season's 16 aspiring authors!!! Sprinklemist and I will determine the teams soon, then the first challenge will start tommorow!

Sorrel: (tomorrows?!? me be busy... ill try to get my entry in) k bye bye sunshine!~

Oweguy: Hey. Rocky joined. I hope he'll do better this season.

Dominator: Hi, I am Nalyd's real life friend. Nalyd told me that I could talk now since we had gotten enough sign-ups... Hi everyone.

Cards: Hi!!! Hey Sunshine when does the first challenge start?

Oweguy: Sunshine just woke up. -__-

Chimmy:I know how that feels. I woke up 20 minutes ago and my brother is already outside...

NIzzy: I woke up a couple of hours ago *eye twichs*

Oweguy: This morning I woke up at around 9:00.

Chimmy: Mr. Broomy woke up at 6:30 and is out taking tap dancing lessons. :D

Oweguy: I'll hate it when I have to wake up for school in the morning. X(

Chimmy: Me too! Especially since they changed the start time to 7:20. Now I have to wake up at 5:30!

NIzzy: I love school! *eye twitches*

Chimmy:Me too, but it's the early wake-up-call that irks me.

Oweguy: WHA?!

Chimmy: Think about it this way: You can't get to where you want to be if you don't have the smarts to do it. Oh, and by the way, BEST FRIEND in MY CLASS! BOO YAH!!

Chimmy:But I get up so late that I usually have no energy when I wake up early...I'm pretty sure I'm nocternal. Am I the only one here who's still wide awake at 11:24 pm?

Tdirm2: When is the first challenge going to be posted? I'm getting anxious.

NIzzy: Umm Why are you getting anxious?

Tdirm2:Because I wanna write!

NIzzy: Yeah I got that but you can't rush camps.

Oweguy: (Sighs) Things won't be the same without Nalyd.

Sunshine: Alright, thanks to Sprinkemist, we have our teams! Anonymos, Tdi, Chimchar, Sorrel, Dominator, Tdifan, Rocky, and Cards777 are the '''WRITING GOPHERS!!! Turnertang, TBTDIF, NIzzy, Cokeman11, Tdiandrockmusic2, Oweguy, Tdafan123, and Usigtz are the TYPING BASS!!! '''The competiton has officially begun!!!

Oweguy: I sure hope me and the others will try and make the Typing bass win this season. They didn't win once at all last season.

Dominator: Come on team, let's do this. Don't let Sunshine down. We just gotta keep busting out stories and make sure we win.

Anonymos: Um... I follow the episodes as they are aired on television... I have no idea about eliminations up until episode 14... What should I do instead?

Chimmy:If you want to, you could look on the Total Drama Wiki. If not, then I don't know.

Chimmy:Then again, I did place all the current characters in my story...

Anonymos: I'll just look at the eliminations. It's okay. I'll live.

Tdirm2:I've got my story typed up, just need to copy it to here, that could probably be in an hour or two. Also, Oweguy, WE SHALL BRING GLORY TO THINGS WITH BASS IN IT!!!!!!!!!

Chimmy:I know Bass victory is inevitable, maybe this week, maybe the next, but sometime. For now, let's try to win, Gophers!

Sorrel: ya we will win!

Chimmy: Hey, how come everyone I made friends with is on the other team except Sorrel? 0_o

Cards: I'll be your friend!

Chimmy:Thanks!

Tdirm2: Tdafan, are you trying to butter up Sunshine? If so, niiiice.

Tdafan:I just wanted to add some humor

Tdirm2: Im really nervous that I'll be voted out because nobody knows me except for the hosts and Anonymos. Am I just paranoid?

Tdifan: GO GOPHERS! GO GOPHERS! *does the LeShawna/Noah/Owen dance*

Tdafan:(CONF)I hope we win if we dont i bet ill be voted off

Sorrel: *caramelldansens* waka waka laka!!!!! na na na na na na *goes into insane random mode* who ha who ha na na na na na na na shes my best friend something somthine tickle in my tummy it tastes so yummy LA LA LA LA (dont even ask....)

Oweguy:(CONF) Actually. I think I should lead my team. I was on a winning team last season. I'll try not to get voted off.

Tdi: GO WRITING GOPHERS!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tdafan:I think Oweguy should be team captin

Sorrel: go gophers!!!

Tdafan:keep cheering,as long as TBTDIF gets voted off ill be happy

Tdirm2:(CONF) Oweguy said that he should be leader. I disagree, you don't need a leader when success depends on people he doesn't know in real life.

Cards:(CONF) I really think that the Writing Gophers can win this challenge!

Chimmy:(CONF) What's up with all the confessionals lately? Any way, TDIRM, I don't like what you just said. I don't know your backround or anything, so I'm gonna cut you some slack. But how does Dom's accountlessness affect his writing abillity? And so what about Sorrel's past? Just because she hasn't won anything doesn't mean she won't win this! And just because I'm a newcomer doesn't mean I don't have any potential! If the phrase "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." gets called into play, no offense, but you're gonna be in a world of hurt pretty soon.

Tdafan:*is asleep,waiting for the results*

Tdirm2: Wait, somebody else wrote that, I acually wrote the first two sentences then I left for a minute without saving. Somebody else in my life said the rest. Oh gosh I apologize for that, I deleted the offending part.

Dominator: Way to go team, lets keep up the good work.

(CONF) Dominator: I don't remember Total Drama Author having confessionals... Whatever. I think I might be the best author on the team. I've got potential nobody else knows about. I may just win! Hopefully my IP status will not be used against me.

TBTDIF: Who said I should be voted off? That wasn't cool, Tdafan. This is a writing contest. And do you believe I have good writing or what? Why do you want me out, any fricking way?

Dominator: TBTDIF, calm down. If you get angry chances are even more likely they'll try to vote you off....

Tdafan:To tell you the truth you arent exactly nice

Tdirm2:(CONF) Why is everybody ganging up on TBTDIF? What wrong has he done?

Chimmy:TDIRM, I accept your apology. But if anything like it happens again...Oh, and Dom, if anyone tries to use your IP status against you, you can count on me to stand up for you, my friend.

Sprinklemist: Tdafan, TBTDIF never did anything against you (to my knowledge), try not to stir up trouble. Everyone try to remain civil toward each other, please.

Sorrel: so when does challenge end

Sprinklemist: Whenever Sunshine protects the page and tells me what team I'm reviewing. Lol.

Sunshine: So much drama week one... guys, PLEASE don't gang up on each other. This is a new season, a clean slate, we're all starting over. On a happier note, I'm protecting the page now, the challenge is officially over! Sprinkle and I will do reviews and discuss the winning team, and then the bottom two poll will be put up. Good luck everyone!

Oweguy: We won! We won the first challenge! The Typing Bass actually won for once.

Chimmy:Wait-MY STORY WAS GOOD!? OMG HOLY CRAP!!! *Faints* (Hey, I said Bass victory was inevitible, and it happened. Let's give it our all next time, Gophers! And my problems are pretty easy to correct. Converting from past tense to present is hard in a long story, and I sometimes forget to press enter twice on the wiki. And that was honestly one of my best stories I ever wrote. Next time, I'm going full force!)

Sorrel: ya it was chimmy

Chimmy: *Is still KO'd*

Chimmy:*Wakes up* Wait- someone voted for me in the poll? Is it because I stunk in their opinion, or am I a threat?

Sorrel: prob a threat

Chimmy:Well, that makes me fell a bit better, but if I'm a threat, doesn't it make more sense to keep me to help our team win, then you eliminate me when the merge comes??

Tdafan:(CONF)Its two of my best friends here up for the vote*sigh*either way its gonna suck for me

Chimmy:*Pats tdafan on the back* It's okay dude. Wait-I DID'T GET ELIMINATED! YES!!! LIFELONG GOAL NUMBER 1 COMPLETE! NEXT GOAL:BUILD DEVICE THAT CAN EXTRACT DUNCAN FROM THE TELEVIsION!!! (XD!!)

NIzzy: Holy crap! *randomly puts hand in the TV and pulls Duncan out*

Tdafan:*starts singing its sucks to be me*

NIzzy: *sings with tdafan*

Tdafan:(CONF)i never meant to try to vote out TBTDIF I just wanted people to see that im not an underdog like they think

NIzzy: *smashes head into conf* Aw I don't think your an underdog! your one of the only people who can be as crazy as me without there head going BOOM!!!! *giggles* (LOL)

Chimmy:*rocks out to I Am...All of Me* (XD)

TBTDIF: Guys, stop pretending there's a confessional. There is none, as there has NEVER, EVER, EVER been ANY!!!!!!!!!!

NIzzy: Gee sorry.

Tdafan:Yeesh calm down.Now I might have a reason to vote you out

Dominator: TBTDIF, calm down. Dude, you are getting angry over NOTHING! Please, it makes it unpleasant to do this camp when you keep getting easily annoyed. And Sunshine and Sprinklemist will tell us if there is or isn't a confessional. This isn't your camp. Please, just calm down.

NIzzy: I agree.

Tdafan:Exactly what I was thinking Dominator

TBTDIF: I didn't really mean anger, I just was...well, I guess there's no point in explaining it.

Tdafan:Next time say it calmly ok?(CONF)If he keeps this up he is gonna be next

NIzzy: *sigh*

Cards: What's wrong NIzzy?

Tdafan:You ok?*walks to NIzzy*

NIzzy: Er yeah.

Tdafan:*sigh*I dont know what to do my best friends are the bottom 2!!!Should I quit this thing

Dominator: Listen up, Gophers. I say that when we win we all have to agree on who to vote for in the poll. That way we can decide one person in their bottom two. What do you guys think?

Tdafan:i like that idea

Dominator: Tdafan, you are a Bass. Why would you betray your own team?

Chimmy:Uhhh...I like it!

Tdafan:ohh I got mixed up.So Bass if you want Oweguy as our captain say I. I!!!!

Challenge 1
This week's challenge is to make up episode 14 of Total Drama Action. The challenge, elimination, etc. can be whatever you want. However, please stay in continuity with the other episodes (ie. Don't have Trent there when he's already been eliminated). Other than that, you can do whatever you please! If you need to look at what happened in past TDA episodes, you can look on the Total Drama Wiki. The story is due on Thursday, which, unless stated otherwhise, will always be the due date for stories. Good luck!

Sprinklemist's Reviews (Writing Gophers)
Anonymos - A very good story, and very plausible. I absolutely loved the challenge idea (the mystery genre is my favorite), and your sense of humor fit the tone of the actual show (lol at the evidence that was Chef's). Everyone was perfectly in character. As for the negative, I noticed two grammatical errors toward the beginning, and I thought the start of the story was pretty slow paced. I wish that the challenge came sooner, as that's when the story truly began for me. Overall, the positive outweighs the negative.

Tdi - I really enjoyed the way you began the story with a recap of the previous actual episode. This grounded the story in reality from the beginning. You had a creative and plausible challenge idea. The only thing I noticed that was negative was spelling and tense. You had a few spelling errors, and while you tried to remain in present tense, you slipped up a few times. One instance is the final sentence, which says in part, "Chris said as it ends". Overall, I think you are a strong competitor. If you fix these small mistakes, I think you'll only improve.

Chimchar - I'm impressed. Your story was original, sweet, and pretty funny. I liked the challenge idea, and the way that you actually had Justin do something. To me there were two glaring problems, though. One problem was that you kept switching between present tense and past tense, keep an eye on that. The other problem is that you would write a paragraph and have two characters speak within it. A paragraph never should have two characters speaking in it, unless under specific circumstances. Your writing will be even better if you try to correct these kinds of mistakes.

Sorrel - I love the fact that you wrote in separate paragraphs. It makes the story easier to read, and nicer to look at. Unfortunately, your story is marred by a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes. It made the story fairly confusing. Proofread, proofread, proofread.

Dominator - This story was really good. I enjoyed a lot of things about it. Everyone was in character (Beth was really funny), and the challenge ideas were clever. You are a very good writer. The only thing I can criticize is some fairly minor spelling mistakes. Things like saying "to" instead of "two". "Of" instead of "off". "LeShawa" instead of "LeShawna" (that one made me lol). Proofreading will help there, as those are fairly common mistakes. But overall the story was great. Keep it up.

tdifan - I can honestly say that this was my favorite story. Your grammar and spelling was fantastic. It had my favorite title. I was enjoying everything immensely, until... It ended right in the middle. I'm really sorry that you couldn't finish in time. It's hard to compare your story to the completed ones, but at least you started.

Rocky - I'm really sorry that you were unable to post a story. Especially, when almost everyone else was able to.

Cards777 - Your story was fine. I liked the recap of the previous episode. There were a few grammar problems, though. I could tell that you changed your wording, and forgot to erase what you were replacing. Also, I think that the dialogue could have been spiced up a little. I did like the "Lindsay look it's a mall!" part, although it was missing some punctuation. I thought that the structure of your story was solid, but you made some errors in that regard. You, I assume accidentally, placed two different people talking in the same paragraph.

Sunshine's Reviews (Typing Bass)
Turnertang- Nice work, this was a great challenge idea, and you put across the characters’ personalities very well. You had some very minor grammar issues, though, like forgetting the closing quotation mark in a few sentences, and some sentences could have been two sentences instead of one. Also, you referred to Duncan as a “she” at one point, LOL. Finally, the beginning seemed somewhat abrupt. I think it would have been better if you’d had a recap at the beginning. Overall, if you had fixed those issues, this would have been perfect.

Thebiggesttdifan- This was great! Your spelling and grammar was excellent. The musical challenge was great. And I loved that the monster came back! The characters were all written well, and the ending twist was incredible! Excellent job overall!

NIzzy- This was a good challenge idea, the characters were written well, and it was really funny! But… please don’t use script format. Like, don’t use (Conf) and *At the caves*, use “[person] said in the confessional” and “Later, at the caves, [whatever happens]”. You also had some minor grammar problems, like forgetting commas, and some minor spelling issues. Make sure to fix those next time.

COKEMAN11- This was hilarious, and a great idea for a challenge! Those poor interns! I also loved Izzy’s brief return, though I didn’t understand why she was about to faint. The way you wrote the characters was great as well. However, like NIzzy, please don’t use script format. Except for that, though, it was great!

Tdiandrockmusic2- This was great! Duncan-Heather??? So dramatic!!! The challenge and characters were great as well! The only problem was some minor grammar stuff, like forgetting commas. Also, there was when you wrote part of a sentence, ended it with a comma, then had someone talking in the next paragraph. I’m not sure if that’s grammatically incorrect or not, but it did look odd. Overall, nice work!

Oweguy- Nice job with the challenge idea and characters. You did have some grammar issues, though. There was also something I think was a mistake at the beginning- “Owen did not do anything wrong.” repl. “Owen did not do anything wrong.” replying Beth a bit upset. My guess is that this was an accident either while writing or posting. Also, please don’t clump everything into one paragraph, it makes it much easier to read.

Tdafan123- This was a good challenge idea, and parts of this were funny, like Courtney crashing after seeing Justin with his shirt off and Duncan breaking up with Courtney for Sunshine. However, you had MAJOR spelling and grammar issues throughout the story. Also, like Owe, please don’t stick everything in one paragraph.

Usitgz- Murder mystery! Great!!! This story was hilarious, and your spelling and grammar was great. The characters were written well, it was a great challenge idea, and I loved Detective Lindsay!!! However, it seemed to end rather abruptly, and I would have liked it if, instead of talking about how someone did or said something, have them actually say or do it. Other than that, great!!!

Results
Sunshine: Okay... Sprinklemist and I have made our decision. The winner of this challenge is... The Typing Bass! Congratulations! Gophers... all of you are now susceptible to elimination. A poll will be put up, and the two Gophers with the most votes will be in the bottom two. One of those two will be eliminated from Total Drama Author 3. Good luck to you all.

Sprinklemist: Suspectable. Lol!

Sunshine: ...I used the wrong word again, didn't I? (I can write, but I can't talk, LOL XD)

Sprinklemist: I think you were going for "susceptible". Here I am criticizing the main host. &gt;_&lt;

Sunshine: OH!!! Right!!! XD *changes it* All better! XD

Gophers Vote
Who should be in the bottom 2 this week? Anonymos Tdi Chimchar Sorrel Dominator Tdifan Rocky Cards777

Sunshine: All right, the votes have been cast, and our bottom two is... Rocky and Tdifan. Each of you, please give arguments to stay, and tommorow Sprinklemist and I will decide which one of you is going home.

The Decision
Sunshine: Alright... this was a hard decision. But in the end, the one leaving is... Rocky. I'm sorry you weren't able to finish your story, but in the end we couldn't keep you over someone who'd started their story. Bye, dude.

Week 2
Sunshine: Ready for the next challenge, guys?

Cards: Heck yeah!

Anonymos: You know it, girlfriend! (Snaps fingers.)

Oweguy: Ready to do the second challenge. (Sunshine. Please update the elimination chart.)

TBTDIF: I know I'm leaving if my team loses. But we can't lose. We've got...um...me...and...other guys who are pretty good writers!

Dominator: Gophers, when we win this week we need to all agree who to vote for on the Bass team. I say we pick their best player. With their best player in the bottom two, the other person will automatically go! It's genius! *laughs evilly* (LOL, I guess Nalyd's rubbed off on me)

Oweguy: Bass, we should try and win again like first challenge. Work hard and we'll beat those gophers!

Tdafan:*sighs*(CONF)I dont know if I should quit or not.If Tdifan goes next i probably will

Chimmy:It's okay, Tdafan. Whatever happens, I'll be there to lend a hand. *I'll Be There by the Jackson 5 starts playing*

Tdafan:thanks,Chimmy it means alot.But Im still thinking about it

Chimmy: No problem, dude. You can decide to do whatever you think is right.

Tdafan:*watching TV*

TV:In a world where people say weird stuff

Person:yeathatdangoldcarwontgovroomvroommanyouknow

Tdirm2: Hey everybody *pauses TV*. NIzzy, Tdafan, kindly stop giving me edit conflicts. I just had my EIGHTH ONE!

Tdafan:Oops*plays TV*

NIzzy: Sorry I probaly did it again.

Tdafan:SHHHHHHH

TV:he will discover...NOTHING!!!!.ON October 468...take shelter for DANGOLDSOMETHING

Tdirm2: STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!!!

Tdafan:Stop what??

Tdirm2: Stop giving me edit conflicts! Let somebody else talk.

Tdafan:Calm down or you could be next

Sorrel: guys calm down i always get edit conflicts and its N O R M A L

Tdafan:*is about to punch Tdirm2*

Sorrel: and we are here to make friends *glares at tdafan* and not be made at each other because of edit conflicts *glares at Tdrim2*

Tdafan:Whatever*walks away*(CONF)Why is everyone here so annoying.If this keeps up I will quit

Sorrel: so sunshine when is our next assigniment

Tdafan:Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*punches tdirm2 but misses*

Sorrel: *grabs his arm* what did i say....

Tdafan:Dont tell me what to do

Sorry Tdafan, it's just that I was frustrated because I got 12 edit conflicts, and when I get edit conflicts it screws up my computer for a moment. So sorry for losing my cool a minute ago, I calmed down then started typing this.

Tdafan:Im sorry too(CONF)Im so quiting next week

Sorrel:..........................

Sprinklemist: Guys. Please, calm down. The chat sections don't need to be edited so often. What if someone types up their story and tries to post it and gets an edit conflict and loses everything they typed (it's happened to me before...)? Also, don't make threats, like, "If you do blah blah you'll get voted out next time". This is not a popularity contest and Sunshine and I make the elimination decisions ultimately...

Tdafan:I might not have mine this week (Sprinklemist: This section is for chatting)

Chimmy: (CONF) I really like tdafan. I'd be okay with whatever decision he makes, but I'd prefer he stays. He's a great author and a great pal to have around. I can't make him stay or go, I knew that from the beginning, but whatever he thinks is the best for him, I'll go with it.

Tdafan:Im really close to quitting

Sprinklemist: Stay in the competition and try your hardest. Think about the people that wanted to compete, but missed the sign ups. Your quitting wouldn't be fair to them.

Tdafan:My decison will be made by the end of week 4

Tdirm2: You know what, I've always wanted to be tagged. I don't know why, but I do.

Tdafan:*sits down and watches TV*

TBTDIF: What is up with everyone lately? All these actions, rudeness, and...actions. Where's Nalyd? Where's Gigi? Where's TDI19? Where's Sprinky and Sunny's awesome stories? Where is everyone from last season? Really, where?

Tdafan:(CONF)I am so sick of these people yelling and other crap.I might quit early

Sunshine: Nalyd passed along hosting to us, I won last season, Sprinklemist was runner up and is just plain awesome enough to host, Gigi decided not to enter this season a while ago, TDI19 just kinda disappeared, and I guess most of the season 1 vets missed signups...

Tdafan:*whisper to NIzzy*Now I wanna vote off TBTDIF

TBTDIF: *tries to act as cool and calm as possible* I...uh...heard you, tdafan. For...um...um...what?

Tdafan:I think you should chill out(CONF)Psycho

TBTDIF: Wow, I thought I was gonna be the main antagonist this season, just like last one.

Tdafan:Yeah yeah yeah

Dominator: I thought with my epic strategy I'd be considered an "antagonist." (Nalyd mentioned how having a strategy will have you pegged for life.) Remember Gophers, '''if we win we all have to agree on which of there players is the best and vote for them. Then, whoever is the other bottom two member will automatically go home. '''(Sorry that's in bold, it's just only one person saw it last time...)

Tdirm2: I don't know what people would consider me as. I'd say an anti-hero. Also, Tdafan, don't quit, it's a honor to be here, Zakkeroen was very ticked off by being unable to join.

Sunshine: Wow, almost half the people whose bios are up so far used names that start with J... weird...

Chimmy: Weird...OMG IT'S A SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE!!!! RUN TO THE CORN DOG SHELTER!!! (No comment...)

CK11: Corn dogs are bad for your colon...OR ARE THEY??? I reccomend we head to the stuffed elephant emporium. Then we can buy lawn mowers. (I'm COKEMAN11, on other wikis, I'm known as CK11 ffor my nickname)

Chimmy: THER"S NOT MUCH TIME LEFT! GET TO THE STUFFED ELEPHANT EMPORIUM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!

Shadow the Hedgehog: *Appears* Well, might as well do this. CHAOS...CONTROL!!! *Teleports everyone to the stuffed elephant emporioum, including himself, the hosts, and Duncan, who is still out of the television*

Tdirm2:What just happened?

Sunshine: SHADOW!!!!!!! *tacklehugs*

Shadow:GET OFF OF ME!!! *Chaos Blasts, to no avail*

Chimmy:*Picks up Duncan* Sorry, Dunc. *Throws Duncan at Sunshine*

Sunshine: *grabs Duncan as he's thrown at her, without letting go of Shadow* EEEEEE!!!!!! NOW I HAVE BOTH OF THEM!!!!!!! (LOL, just 'cause I'm a host, doesn't mean I have to act like it... right? RIGHT???)

Chimmy:*Grabs crowbar and tries to pry Sunshine off. The crowbar breaks*

Shadow:THAT"S IT!!! *Uses Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Shadow* CHAOS...CONTROL!! *Teleports Sunshine into space and flies around at the speed of sound*

Sunshine: *randomly falls back to earth, unharmed, sees Shadow gone, cries uncontrollably, notices Duncan, tacklehugs him* (LOL)

Courtney: STAY AWAY FROM MY MAN, SISTER!!! *tackles Sunshine*

Duncan:I love that woman. (Sorry, Sunshine, he means Courtney.)

Sunshine: Oh yeah, well... *randomly transports to Sonic world, grabs Knuckles, comes back, throws Knuckles at Courtney* (LOL)

Chimmy: *Steps in between slap-fighting Knuckles and Courtney* BREAK IT UP!! *Knocks Knuckles, Sunshine, and Courtney out with powerful blast of fire and is randomly transported to ARK*

Chimmy:*Arrives*

Shadow: Hey, just wanted to say thanks for trying to break me free. *Notices Chimmy looks a bit like Maria Robotnik, smiles*

Chimmy: No prob. I think I could hook you up with a hot chick. *Shows Shadow photo of black hedgehog with red streaks and purple fishnet gloves*

Shadow: *Eyes turn to black hearts*

Sunshine: *flies past window of ARK* SHADOW-AMY FOREVER!!!!! AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK OUT, ME-SHADOW FOREVER!!!!!!! (LOL, rabid Shadow-Amy supporter)

Shadow:Uhh...how did SHE get here? Anyways, what's the chick's name?

Chimmy:If you mean the Ravioli Pixie, Sunshine. If you mean the hedgehog, Brittney.

Sunshine: *randomly behind Shadow* I got here 'cause I'm magic. That's my answer when you ask how I got in, too. SHADOW!!!!! *tacklehugs*

Tdafan:*standing next to chimmy*So....

Chimmy:Tdafan, don't tell me you're magic too. BUT I AM!!! *Dissapears into flames, comes back with Brittney*

Shadow: Holy hotness!!! *Breaks free from Sunshine using DA POWA OF LOVE!!!* (XD) *Love Story randomly plays*

Brittney:Do you guys hear that? By the way, what's your name?

Shadow:I'm Shadow. Nice to meet you. *Chaos controls Brittney and him to romantic setting*

Chimmy: Awwwwww...(By the way, when I was typing nice to meet you, I accidentaly typed up nice to MEAT you.)

Tdafan:Chimmy,who do you want out next?

Chimmy:It depends. But TBTDIF hasn't exactly been friendly IMO.

Shadow:*is happy for the first time since Maria died because Brittney is now his girlfriend*♥

Shadow:*sigh*I feel like I could take on the world for Brittney...I'm in love.

Chimmy:Just to clarify...is there going to be a Playa des Authors 3???

Shadow:*is daydreaming about Brittney*

Chimmy:I seem to be the only one commenting...I'm bored. *lightbulb goes over head* Got it!!! *Whispers in Shadow's ear* (Wait, where ARE his ears?)

Shadow:...Fine, what the heck. I'm so in love, I could even put up with that Ravioli Pixie! (LOL Sunshine nip) *Teleports, brings back Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, Blaze, and Silver*

Sonic:*Lends Chimmy pair of no-friction shoes*

Cheese the Chao: *Is refferee, waves checkered flag* (LOL)

Everybody:*Starts race* (By the way, the apocalypse is over and we are back on Earth now! Plus, Shadow helped to fix everything up again.Not only that, he also took the time to stop global warming!!! YAY FOR SHADOW!!! Oh, and Duncan is in the race too, Shadow lent him a pair of his shoes. I just realized that Jamie will have to put up with Yu-gi-oh during TD:TM!)

Sunshine: *randomly shows up with a box of donuts* ...I missed something. What did I miss? o.O

Chimmy:*while running* The Sonic people and I decided to have a race. Whoever makes it to Japan first wins! *Grabs donut from box, turns into Hyper Chimmy, runs even faster, leaving trail of fire behind her*

Shadow:*Crosses finish line milliseconds before Hyper Chimmy and Sonic, who is being chased by Amy. Blaze and Silver are holding hands in LA, Rouge stole the Master Emerald and Knuckles had to stop her so he never finished, Duncan is just behind Amy*

Brittney:*kisses Shadow*

Shadow:*Is so overjoyed that he lets Sunshine tacklehug him*

Hyper Chimmy:*turns back into regular Chimmy* Awwwww...Brittney and Shadow make the perfect couple. (Sorry it took so long. We got tired around Arizona and stopped at a Sonic drive-in. But Blaze and Silver ran strait to Pasedana...)

(Conf.) Usitgz: What the heck is going on here, with all these Sonic characters running around. I'm going to lose it!

Knuckles:*punches through confessional, the blow barely missing Usitgz's head* You'll pay for that, you little creep! *Chases Usitgz* (Sorry if that seemed rude or anything, it's totally intended to be humorous.)

Chimmy:*still has Sonic's shoes, runs over and stops Knuckles from hurting Usitgz* STOP IT!!! *Is not strong enough, until Sunshine trips and a donut flies out of her pocket, landing directly in Chimmy's mouth, transforming her into Hyper Chimmy(LOL). Lets out huge blast of fire at Knuckles, knocking him out, transforms back into normal Chimmy* Oh, NO!!! What have I DONE!!! *takes Knuckles to random burn center across the street*

Chimmy:*at burn center* *yawn*. So...tired...need...pancakes...

Random Nurse Dude(LOL):You said you wanted to see him wake up. He just decided to do it at 3:00 in the morning.

Knuckles: *wakes up* Aw, great, what did Chimmy do to me?

Random Nurse Dude:2nd degree burns all over your body, to be exact. She also brought you the this burn center, and pretty much did all the work the docters were supposed to. How did you even know to do that?

Chimmy: Cousin burned his arm on a grill last week. (Not really guys, that never actually happened. Pure fiction.)

Knuckles:*chuckles*(Hey it rhymes!!!) Well, I'll be. I guess...thanks. *shakes Chimmy's hand*

Chimmy:No prob, dude. *Shakes back*

Dominator: GOPHERS!!! We need to vote off Tdafan, TBTDIF, or Turntertang if we win. Tdanfan is thinking of quitting. It wouldn't be fair for them to beat other people, and then quit. TBTDIF has been rude, and is good at writing. Turnertang is their best author

Tdafan:IVE MADE MY DECISION!!!!!!!! And I will tell you...right after this commercial break!!!!!!!

TBTDIF: Don't be like that, Chimchar2350678. I think we're all pretty equal with our writing.

Tdi: Go Gophers!!!!!

Sunshine: *uses random magic portal to send Sonic characters back to wherever they came from, except for Shadow, who she stuffs in a box and mails back to her place (LOL)* Challenge over, guys! Sprinklemist isn't here to judge, so I'll be the only one doing reviews this week.

Dominator: Gophers! Vote for TBTDIF or Tdafan123!!!

Tdafan:IM NOT QUITTING

Dominator: *shrugs* So? We'll vote for you for being a threat then.

NIzzy: Excuse me but that’s a little harsh you can’t just pick on people Dominator!

Dominator: I don't pick on people. Besides, Tdafan and TBTDIF are so good Sunshine won't pick either of them for elimination until later on, if even then. I'm just playing the game to my full ability.

Sunshine: I have to side with Dominator here, he's playing a strati... strati... strati... a smart game. (FAIL XD) He's not doing anything against the rules.

Dominator: Sunshine, when does the vote end?

Sunshine: Later today.

Chimmy: I guess all that cheering helped, Gophers! Let's try to bring it home again next time! Oh, and tdafan, hopefully you won't get voted off, cause even though we are on opposite teams, you're still an amazing friend, and nothing can change that.

TBTDIF: I have to say, the Gophers did a nice job.

Chimmy:Thanks!!! Anyone else crazy enough to be awake past midnight where I am? FWEE!!!

CK11: The Gophers did well.

Chimmy:YAY!!! MORE COMPLIMENTS!!! YAY!!! *hops around clapping* RAINBOW DREAMS!!! Wait, huh?

Tdirm2: Question, when will either CK11 or TBTDIF be eliminated and the next challnge announced?

TBTDIF: Wait, how did Tdafan get a part in this?

Sunshine: I didn't feel like you or CK11 deserved to be eliminated, and Tdafan had a large amount of votes, so I decided I needed to hear from... him... her... is Tdafan a guy or a girl?

Tdafan:Im a guy and Im sorry if i dissapointed people

CK11: Bass, if I'm not eliminated, I have a plan if we win the next challenge...it involves an alliance...

Challenge 2
This week's challenge is to come up with a character profile, for either the character on the left, or the character on the right (both drawn by Sunshineandravioli). This profile needs to include a name for the character, biography of the character's background, a glimpse at their personality, and why they are going to appear on the Total Drama series (either by auditioning, or some other method). We would like to see creativity, originality, and believability. Make it clear which character you'll be using. Don't change anything about the character models. This "story" is due Thursday.

Writing Gophers
Anonymos- Excellent! You went deep into the character’s background and personality, and were able to give us a good reason why she was auditioning. I felt that this was extremely creative and original, and personally, I felt the situation she was in was a believable one. Great job!

Tdi- I like this guy’s basic personality. The idea of an insane tough guy is funny! But… you didn’t really flesh him out after that, or give him any background. Also, in the audition, you completely ignored pretty much all rules of grammar- no quotation marks, forgetting a period in one place, and using script format for his actions. Finally, you named your character Jim, but at the beginning of the audition, he said “Hi, I’m Mike!” Overall, this was a good idea that needed a lot of improvement.

Chimchar- This character was HILARIOUS! Her background was extremely detailed and explained a lot of her personality, which you also described well. Her audition was, in my opinion, one of the best, and her reason for auditioning made a lot of sense. It was also extremely funny. “Uh, Chris? I think the wind blew your door shut.” Classic! Excellent work overall!

Sorrel- This was a very creative idea, and your background for the character was great. It really made her reason for auditioning make sense. However, the character herself didn’t have much personality; it just seemed a kind of general label rather than an in-depth look at her personality. Also, please proofread your stories before posting them. You had some grammar issues throughout, especially in the audition; there were some spelling errors (ie. “transplat” instead of “transplant”); and you used script format for actions. In the end, it was a good idea that would have been even better had you fixed these things.

Dominator- Nice job, and extremely creative idea! His background was fairly detailed, and even though you didn’t have a section describing his personality, it still came across well. Having his grandparents do the audition for him was hilarious. “It says on this pamphlet ‘Crazy Kids Wanted’.” That was great! The trivia section was nice as well, seeming to solidify him as an actual character. Keep it up!

Tdifan- This was a very creative character! Though his personality and background wasn’t extremely in-depth, it still described well and made the character seem real. His audition was funny as well! However, please, don’t use script format, which you used during his audition. Other than that, though, nice work!

Cards777- Pyromaniac! Awesome! This was a very original character. His detailed background explains his personality extremely well, his reason for joining TDI is believable, and his audition was hilarious with his parents begging the producers to accept him! Nice work overall!

Typing Bass
Turnertang- Great idea for a character! The audition was hilarious too. However, you didn’t really go too deep into his personality or background, only really giving us a short glimpse at his character. Also, I notice you seem to have run-on sentences in your writing- what could easily be multiple sentences is clumped into one. Make sure to read over your work before you post; if you have more than one or two “and”s in one sentence, it’s a good sign it’s a run-on sentence and you should split it up into multiple sentences.

Thebiggesttdifan- This was probably the most detailed background of anyone’s character. You gave a truly detailed insight to her past and explained how she ended up applying to TDI. However, her personality wasn’t really described at all, just her past. Also, two things didn’t really make sense to me- one, I didn’t understand the line “Before she knew it, Taña was delivered a tasty meal for breakfast, but that didn’t last long because she had to hop into a taxi for various opera performances.” What did breakfast have to do with it? Two, I don’t understand what her uncle’s motivations were in sending her to the orphanage, or how her mother was involved. Other than those points, this was pretty good, I just wish she had been given more of a personality.

NIzzy- This was a fairly good character, and pretty creative. His personality was unique and described pretty well, and though his background wasn’t extremely detailed, it was just detailed enough. His audition was great as well, perfectly displaying his softer side and the pressure put on him by his dad. However, make sure to double check your grammar before you post. You had some grammar issues, forgot some punctuation, etc. Overall, nice work, except for the grammar issues.

COKEMAN11- This was a good idea, and you hit all the requirements. However… it was extremely skimpy in the details department. Though you described everything, you didn’t get very far into it, and it felt like more than a brief summary of a character rather than a real look at them. In particular, her personality was very brief and didn’t give a really good look at what she was like. I really wish you had given more details, as it would have made the biography a lot better.

Tdiandrockmusic2- This was definitely one of the more original characters. Extremely creative with the MPD, and his background is a great explanation of how it happened. His duel personality, as well, seems to almost create a “two-characters-for-the-price-of-one” thing. His audition tape was a perfect way to end it, showing off both ends of his personality and the vast difference between them. The description of his hair made me LOL. Excellent work!

Oweguy- This was a pretty unique character. Though you didn’t describe his personality that well in the personality section, his audition tape made up for it. I wish there had been a little more on his background, though. The “downfall” section was a nice touch as well, and explained why we didn’t see much of this rocker during TDI. It was a nice touch to have his band playing during the audition tape as well. However, be careful about your tense- you switched between past tense (ie. “What is that racket!” shouted someone.) and present tense (ie. “So I think I should be perfect in this show!” he shouts.) Look out for that in the future.

Tdafan123- This was an okay idea, but you didn’t really give him much of a personality… and, he had no background other than skipping three grades because of his PE grade. I really wish you’d put in more details and fleshed him out more. Also, you still had quite a few spelling and grammar issues. You forgot some commas and periods, spelled “I’m” as “Im”, etc. Please double check these sorts of things before you post.

Usitgz- This was a very unique idea! His background explains his, er, “special” personality. I wish there was a little more to his personality other than thinking monsters are real, though. I love how he got onto TD:TM, though. Also, at one point he said “You’ve got to safe me” when it should have been “You’ve got to save me”. Overall, really good job, almost perfect!

Results
Sunshine: All right, I've thought long and hard, and compared the reviews of both teams, and in the end, the winner is... the Writing Gophers! Congrats! Typing Bass, you're all now up for elimination. Cross your fingers, and hope the voters don't target you. Good luck to you all.

Bass Vote
Who should be in the bottom 2 this week? Turnertang Thebiggesttdifan NIzzy COKEMAN11 Tdiandrockmusic2 Oweguy Tdafan123 Uzitgz

Sunshine: All right, with six votes apiece, the bottom two is... Thebiggesttdifan and COKEMAN11. Both of you, please give reasons to stay at TDA3.

TBTDIF's Reason to Stay
Honestly, I really believe I deserve to stay. I believe I am an extremely good writer, and the only reason I likely didn't make it further in the past two seasons is either because of a misunderstanding in my reason in the original season, and later because of rude comments.

Ah, yes--my rude comments. This, of course, is likely why people have voted me bottom two today. I can say that the reason behind all my rudeness is that I miss the quiet, peaceful loneliness that this wiki used to be. I will try my best to shape up my rudeness. Plus, I believe this is a writing camp. It's not entirely fair to vote someone off--i.e. get rid of their chances of improving their writing skills--just because they are acting rude. This is a contest, not a competition, at least in what I believe.

Okay, I got way off track, didn't I? But in a one line summary: Please let me stay. I'll try my best to stop acting rude.

COKEMAN11's Reason to Stay
I believe that I deserve to stay, not just because I want to; because I had a few conflicts this week. I've been on vacation at the beach, and really busy. I wasn't in the other 2 seasons of TDA3, and I really want to show my writing skills. Also, this is one of the first camps I've been in.I really am a great writer, and I'm just not very good at designing characters. I'm gonna be able to write my story next week, and I can't wait to see what the topic will be. If all of the Bass voted for me, I understand, my character, July, wasn't very well described. I had thought that I had met the requirements. Please let me stay, and in one statement, I think this camp will allow me to improve my characters.

Overall, I know I've said this a lot, but I am a really good writer, and I hope you think of these reasons when you think who truly deserves to go home this week.

Sunshine: This is an extremely hard decision. Both of you show a lot of promise as authors and give good reasons to stay in the game. Eliminating one of you is an extremly difficult and painful thing to do...

...which is why I'm not doing it just yet.

I need to hear from one more person this week before someone leaves. This person now has the most votes in the poll, and at one point was tied with COKEMAN11. I need to hear from... Tdafan123. You've been voted for in the poll, talked about possibly quitting, and (PLEASE no offense) have had some spelling/grammar issues in your stories so far. I need to hear from you- why should you continue on in TDA3?

Tdafan123's Reason to Stay
I think I should stay because I deserve to have some room to improve on my stories,and Im nice to people.Im not quitting so you wont wory and ill try my best next week.Im sorry if I dissapoint you but I only joined to improve and if I get out early,will I improve at all?

I also dont try to get mean but if you annoy me alot then i will get mad.Im sorry to everyone whos feelings I hurt and I hope you will see a reason to keep me in.I know I have spelling and grammar mistakes but let me improve guys please.

Thanks for your time and please save me.

The Decision
(sorry I took so long, guys, I was going to do this last night but I got off the computer)

Sunshine: All right... Sprinklemist and I have discussed this, and we have made our decision. There are three good authors in front of me, but only two of you will continue on.

The author leaving us today is...

...Tdafan123. I'm sorry we have to eliminate you, but in the end it was the best decision. I hope you'll continue to write and improve outside of the camp. Goodbye.

Week 3
Sunshine: Hello to our remaining fourteen competitors! This week's challenge will be like nothing you've ever seen before! (Sprinkle, you can put up the challenge whenever you want.)

Chimmy: *sigh...* It's too bad that tdafan had to be eliminated. But I'm going to get over it, and be ready for the next challenge!

CK11: That was a close one...on an unrelated note, I just had...EDIT CONFLICT!!! Plus, the elimination table needs to be updated.

Sunshine: Yeah... I'll do that... at least it's only a week behind!

NIzzy: *giggles*

Sunshine: Okay, now that the challenge is over... I can reveal the UBER SECRET ORIGINS OF THE TWO CHALLENGE CHARACATERS if you want. XD

NIzzy: Uber secret!!!! XD

CK11" *hypnotizes Sunshine* YOU SHALL REVEAL THE ORIGINS

Usitgz: O_o

TBTDIF: Yeah, Tdafan was almost like a Kenzen. I honestly hope he returns, because despite his somewhat lacking of good grammar and spelling, his ideas were great.

CK11: I ttly agree with that

Dominator: Gophers, if we can win this week, and the next week, I have a great feeling about this season... We just have to all keep voting together.

Sorrel: ok im not here for winning im here to show of meh skills and see other peoples writing GEEZ

TBTDIF: Why so defensive? We're not attacking you, Sorrel.

Tdirm2: When's challenge three happening? Where's Sprinkle too?

Sprinklemist: I got back from vacation, yesterday. *smiles* I think Sunshine is posting the next challenge. I'm not positive when.

Oweguy: Bass, if we win this week like the first week, I'm sure we won't be the underdogs.

Sorrel: because .. we gotta really chillax and this will be my first camp not being random and insane *in head* must go crazy!

NIzzy: If we win we vote for Domitor in the poll right?

CK11: Actually, I say we target Chimmy. (no offense, plz)

Oweguy: I'd say if we win we'll vote off Tdifan.

CK11: Chimmy's a good author, we'll be eliminating a threat.

NIzzy: I agree she's popular too.

Sorrel: *in head* must resist randomness (lawl)

Chimmy: I was afraid this would happen...come on Gophers, let's try even harder now!

Sorrel: why are we even talkin about voting someone off??

Sprinklemist: You guys seem to forget that Sunshine and I make the ultimate decision as to who to eliminate.

Chimmy: I know, but say I was in the bottom 2 with Dominator. I would probably be going home.

Chimmy:Can I do the fashion collumn?

Sorrel; yea you can im doing advice for GOPHERS!!!!

Usitgz:Can I do the Obituary, bass??

NIzzy: Yeah, I'm doing adivice for Bass.

Anonymos: Do any of the Gophers mind if I take the Where are They Now thing?

Tdirm2:Do you mind if I do Where are they nowfor the Bass.

Anonymos: If there are no objections, then I will take Where are They Now for the Gophers.

TBTDIF: May I do the comic strip for the Bass?

Turnertang: What should I do?

Chimmy: This was definintly out of my comfort zone, so I'm asking the Gopher's opinions on my artice. How is it?

Cards: I would like to do the front page for the Gophers, if that is ok with them.

CK11: I'll do Fashion for the bass.

Turnertang: I'll do the entertainment for the bass.

Dominator: Gophers, what jobs are left?

Sunshine: The challenge is over now, guys! Reviews will be up soon.

Chimmy: Uh-oh. If people carry out their threats, Me-sa in trouble. (LOL Jar-Jar Binks)

Cards: I'm sure you'll be safe! Congrats Typing Bass! You did a very good job!

Tdifan: Hey, guys. I'm sorry I wasn't able to post up an article this week. I just started high school and I had a massive amount of homework (that's what I get for being in Honors LOL). I'll try my hardest to get a story up there next week. :-)

TBTDIF: Dominator! Your reason to stay was kind of mean. Remember--this is not a competition. It is a contest. It's not to win adminship, or rollbackness, or become a co-host. In my opinion, the whole idea of this camp is to get your writing skills improved. If you're a worse writer but a better strategist then someone who you eliminated directly, is that entirely fair?

Chimmy: For once, I agree a bit with TBTDIF. If you look on the talk page, even Nalyd is worried about your arrogance. I think you are one of the best authors on the team. Just please don't try to brag about it. Oh, an I completley argree that this camp is for getting your writing skills improved, not to win adminship or any stuff like that.

Challenge 3
This week's challenge is fairly different... This one is all about teamwork. Both teams will be coming up with a cohesive newspaper that has to do with the Total Drama series. I'll list the articles that need to be included. This challenge would work best if either everyone decided who writes what article, or one person delegates, as opposed to everyone just picking what they want to do first. Here are the articles that need to be done:


 * 1) Front Page Story (The main article, most likely about something that happened on one of the latest episodes of Total Drama Action)
 * 2) Obituary (For Mr. Coconut or the Seagull)
 * 3) Entertainment Report (A preview of the next episode of Total Drama Action, it shouldn't contain spoilers)
 * 4) Fashion Analysis (A review of one or more character's clothing)
 * 5) Where Are They Now? (A story about what one of the non-qualifying characters is doing while not on the show)
 * 6) Advice Column (A letter to an advice giver, someone from TDI. The advice must be included. you may do more than one letter)
 * 7) Comic Strip (It must include dialogue. This isn't an art competition, so the pictures aren't required to be perfect, make sure the story in the three panel strip is good. It can be funny, dramatic, or action filled. It can be hand drawn or done with a computer art program)

This is due Friday, unless otherwise stated later on.

Sunshine's Reviews (Writing Gophers)
(Sorry this took so long!)

Anonymos- Hilarious! This seemed very Sadie. I could easily see her doing everything you mentioned in the article. The part about Sadie calling white lipstick “in”, but not wearing it herself, was funny. I also loved the preview for next week’s article. Possibly convicted felon! I was LOL-ing at that! Great job!

Tdi- Pretty nice job. I liked how you mentioned Owen being Mr. Coconut’s friend in the article. However, I think you spelled Muskoka wrong, and I wish you’d gone into a little more detail. Still, nice work.

ChimChar- Awesome! I loved this, and not just because it was about Duncan and I got mentioned. You went into a lot of detail without going too far, and was able to wrap everything up nicely in the end. Also, good job putting next week’s preview at the end, that made it seem like a real article. Overall, amazing, great job!

Sorrel- …so where’s the article?

Dominator- Hahahaha!!!! This was incredibly funny! “I didn’t think a spine could bend like that, eh.” LOL! Also, I know this isn’t an art contest, but it kind of bugged me that you pasted together episode pictures to make the comic. I would have liked it if you’d drawn it yourself. Even so, hilarious, great job!

Tdifan- Nothing? The girl who made final two first season and final five last season gives us NOTHING?

Cards777- Was this an entertainment report or front-page story? I had trouble figuring that out, but either way, this was really good. You described the episode in detail but still didn’t go overboard and mention every little thing that happened. There were some very minor grammar problems, but they weren’t that bad and really weren’t noticeable. Also, 1) Beth used perfume to lure Owen out of the safe, not an elixir (I know that’s not really important, but I just felt like pointing it out…) and 2) the way you said the Grips threw their Gilded Chris Awards at Owen kind of made it sound like they did it because they were mad at him; I think if you’d worded that differently, it wouldn’t have sounded like that. Other than those tiny problems, great job!

Sprinklemist's Reviews (Typing Bass)
tdiandrockmusic2 - Very entertaining, and very realistic from the standpoint of a newspaper article. This story was great, except for some issues with commas being inserted where the sentence should have ended. I also liked the random Cyndi Lauper reference. You were able to combine TDI and rock music... Hmmm.

Turnertang - This article was good, although there are some inaccuracies with the actual episode. I like the last second best, as you did not reveal more than you should have. The surprise (the one I'm thinking of) comes during the challenge, and the elimination is decided by the team, so that line confused me. Also, one of the requirements of this challenge was that it be cohesive. You gave a preview of the same episode that Owenguy wrote a detailed article on. One of you should have seen the other's article, and done something different.

Thebiggesttdifan - I saw the picture as I saw that you uploaded it without being able to post it on this page. I'll count it. The pictures were fairly confusing without the words. I think the story you were going for would have been better if you placed a random head (even the back of one) in the first panel to show that someone else was speaking to Izzy. Overall, I liked the comic strip, a lot. It was a nice idea.

NIzzy - Good solid advice. The grammar and spelling were fantastic. I think the only problem I noticed was the "gotten" line. I'm thinking it should have been "got". Other than that, the article was great.

Cokeman11 - Great job this week. It's a very good review. The introductory paragraph is the only one where I see problems. The very first part of the sentence should be paired with "who has", not "has". Scottish should be capitalized, also. Overall, though, I loved the review. You went into good detail, and matched her clothing to her personality. Great job.

Owenguy - This article was extremely well written. The grammar was really good, and the information accurate. Two problems. One being a comma should have been inserted before "yet again" and "un wired" should be one word. The other problem is that this article is not cohesive with Turnertang's article. You both recapped and previewed the same episode. One of you should have seen the other article and done a different episode.

Usitgz - This article was nice, and funny, as well. I like the fact that you were creative by choosing Bunny instead of Mr. Coconut or the seagull. All the parts of a normal obituary are in here, aside from the unnecessary location of the funeral. The only problem I see is that you said "aten" when you meant "eaten". So, other than that, everything was very well done. Good job.

Results
Sunshine: Sprinkle and I have decided. The winner of this week's challenge is... THE TYPING BASS! Congrats, guys. Gophers... all of you are now at risk. One of you will be going home. Good luck.

Gophers Vote
Who should be in the bottom two this week? Anonymos Tdi Chimchar Sorrel Dominator Tdifan Cards777

Sunshine: With five votes apiece, our bottom two this week is... Tdifan and Dominator. Alright guys, why should you stay?

Dominator's Reason to Stay
I should stay in Total Drama Author 3 because I'm going to win. There are a whole bunch of people who deserve to go way before I do. I'm only up here because I'm a threat to them, I don't know... They think I'm some terrible person for taking charge. Well isn't that what the winner needs to do? The winner gets adminship, and you want somebody who can be a leader; I'm that person! I know I probably sound like an arrogant jerk, but I'm usually just a little on the "full of myself" side. That isn't me all the time. My writing is great and I think that if I am up here for weakness, it's because I can't draw to save my life. I misunderstood the comic directions, and didn't make my own pic; I used real pics from the show. I don't think that's enough to have me eliminated. My writing is already great and I can write circles around most of these other guys. I do my work. I try every week. And I know that I'm going to win this thing. I've got the skill to do it, and I don't think it's fair to eliminate me for being a threat.

The Decision
Sunshine: Sprinkle and I have talked... and the decision has been made. The person leaving TDA3 today is...

...Tdifan. It stinks to see such a great author go third, but in the end, missing your story not once but TWICE is what caused your downfall.

But... I would be careful if I were you, Dominator. Even if you do have skill and a good strategy, bragging about it might turn people against you... you have been warned. Goodbye, Tdifan. The rest of you are safe... for now.

Week 4
Sunshine: With that, we're down to 13 authors. You guys feel confident? Also, I realize now I closed the challenge on Thursday when it was due Friday... sorry, guys... ^^;

Anonymos: I usually feel confident.

Anonymos: (CONF) I think that after realizing that 3rd place of last season is not anything bad. I think that that gave me a large confidence boost. I feel more confident in my abilities and I am totally ready for the rest of this season!

Tdirm2: (CONF) I'm really sad to see Tdifan go. I don't care if she didn't turn in her stories twice, she was a veteran from season one. Dominator sounded pretty snobby giving his argument. It's not very polite to say you'll write circles around everybody else. I hope he won't be mad at me. I can't make enemies, especially when the merge hits.

TBTDIF: (CONF) What's with the new phase of roleplay and all? No strategy is needed in the game--this is a contest, not a competition. Dominator's just a bit of a jerk. I hope he gets over it.

Chimmy: (CONF) I'm a bit worried about Dominator. I mean, come on, he's my teamate, and one of our best authors! Though I'm sure you'll achieve your goal, you better watch out for some so-called arrogance. I want to stand up for him so much, but I'm going to need some very good reasons to.

(CONF) Dominator: Okay... Nobody really has a high opinion of me at this point but hey, you do what you gotta do if you end up on that chopping block.

Dominator: Eh, Gophers. I'm sorry about some of the things I said when I was up for elimination. If you guys want to put me up there again, I understand. But, look, if I'm up there against somebody who deserves to go before me, I will fight for it and I won't let them beat me.

Oweguy: Okay Bass. We're winning two challenge wins to one so keep it up.

Chimmy: Gophers, just because we're outnumbered by Bass doesn't mean that we can't win! We need to fight for our right to be here, fight for our honor, dignity, and for our team! If we all give it our all, I'm sure one of us will be the top author! Show no mercy! Now, who's with me! (LOL, Admiral Chimmy, her Gopherness.)

(CONF) Oweguy: Admiral Chimmy? What's next?

Dominator: Okay, Chimmy...

(CONF) Dominator: Okay, I'm sort of bummed out since I got put up for elimination. But, hey, as long as I keep doing my stories, doing my work, and doing it well, I will win!

Dominator: Let's make sure a Gopher wins. And let's make sure we win this week so the Bass don't get the satisfaction of winning two in a row.

Chimmy: Great! Now, who wants to be my second in command? (LOL, JK.)

Chimmy: Ooh, sorta tough challenge, but I don't have any fanfic characters of my own! XP

Dominator: Same here. But my buddy Nalyd has some of the best characters ever! This will be a piece of cake...

NIzzy: Don't be so cocky... *smiles*

Chimmy: Just so you know, I chose Kendall because he's my favorite. Don't think I'm buttering up Sprink or anything.

NIzzy: Nice strategy! XD JK

Cards: Go GOPHERS! Go GOPHERS! Go GOPHERS!

TBTDIF: Can you do a crossover between two fanfictions?

Chimmy: YAH! GO GOPHERS! *Numa Numa dances* (LOL, When I watch the Sonic Numa Numa dance video, I get up and dance! I am a strange one...

Tdirm2:Hey Sunshine, in case you're wondering, Andrea screwing up names means that she barely has a grip onwhat's going on in the real world. I know she desribes what Han and Izzy do in detail, but how can you ignore them.

TBTDIF: This is completely irrelevant, but I think one of our challenges should be a remembrance of Ricky490 in some way. How I miss Total Drama Daredevil...

Chimmy: LOL, it seems that since I posted my story, everyone is doing something with Total Drama: Boney Island. Yay, I'm a trendsetter! *walks down a random runway in sky blue dress*

CK11: Actually, I was gonna do a TDBI story all along.

(CONF) CK11: I think my story's a little small...but it's good.

Tdirm2:TBTDIF, your story is GREAT! You should post it on the fanfic wiki, it makes mine look horrible.

Chimmy:*stops walking down runway* YAY WEIRD COINCIDENCES! EEEEEEEEEEEE! *jumps up and down, realizes she's still wearing her dress and that her undies are showing*Uh...yay? (XD)

TBTDIF: Haha, at least I didn't go with the crowd...wait a second--I got complimented? I got comp-I got complimented! YAY! Thanks, Tdirm2...and by the way, you can't use TDI characters in your story. That's all.

Tdirm2: Hehe, whoops (Conf) Stupid! *facepalm* If the Bass lose, I'm doomed.

Sprinklemist: Sunshine is reviewing your story this week (I think) so it's up to her whether your penalized, or not, but since her story has the TDI characters, I wouldn't be too worried...

TBTDIF: If the Bass lose, I'll talk us into keeping you. You're a good writer, and one little slip doesn't mean anything.

Sunshine: Sprinkle and I will have the reviews up shortly!

Chimmy:Yay! The Gophers are back on track! Let's give even more of an effort next time!!!

Challenge 4
All right, this week's challenge is a classic from season 1 of Total Drama Author! You'll be writing a story with fanfic characters! BUT! ...you cannot use any of your own characters (or TDI characters, to clarify). You must use characters from someone else's story. You'll be judged on the usual stuff (spelling, grammar, if the story was good in general, etc.), plus if you used the characters well. Sprinkle and I may ask the original authors their opinions on it if necessary. This will be due Friday, unless by some great stroke of luck you all finish on Thursday. (And I won't accidentally close it early this time! XD) Good luck!

Sprinklemist's Reviews (Writing Gophers)
Anonymos - I loved this story, and I approve of how you used my characters. Good job. I loved Lisa and Dirk in this story, especially when Dirk ran into her fist. Lol. You even included a cameo by Stu, from Turnertang's story, for hilarious results. I kind of wish that you left him out so that no one would be confused, but his role as a teacher made it so that anyone unfamiliar with him wouldn't realize it was a cameo.

Tdi - No story. No review.

Chimchar - Really, really, well done. I loved this story. You hinted at future relationships and the underlying reason that Kendall disliked Stevie (and plausibly, Dirk). I also liked the way that you tied his disdain for Fiona with not wanting to be reminded of his mother. It's such a good analysis, that I honestly never thought of. Great, great job.

Sorrel - No story...

Dominator - I really enjoyed this story. I loved the way that you portrayed Ivan. It was funny and I really liked the giant panda link. Lol. My only problem was that you had three different characters from three different realms in the story with no inclusion of any characters from the same story. It made sense with the story, but it might be confusing to people who aren't familiar with all three characters (hence the links, I'm sure).

Cards777 - This story was really sweet. I liked it. My only concern was that you left a few words out, a few commas, and there were a few grammar problems.

Sunshine's Reviews (Typing Bass)
Turnertang- Nice job! The characters’ personalities seemed to be written well. Jakey was hilarious with his nerdiness, and I feel so bad for poor Stan, stuck with him! Your only problem was some minor grammar issues. Good job!

TBTDIF- Personally, I really liked this one. Was having Pauline and Ajax together a reference to Total Fanfiction Crossover? The first time I read this through, I didn’t realize AJ was Ajax, and honestly believed he was just a klutzy Subway worker. So, I was really surprised when he revealed himself! The ending was touching as well. Your spelling and grammar was great, as usual. The characters were written well. And, of course, the story was great. Excellent job!

NIzzy- No story, no review.

COKEMAN11- This was hilarious! “I LIKE YOU TOO, STEVIE!” LOL! I think, personally, that the characters were written pretty well, though I thought Blair would talk more. Is it just me, or does Kendall always seem to fall for the annoying chicks? First Fiona, now Blair… I loved how you switched between both Waterlily and Kendall to give us both their perspectives on the events. Great job!

Tdiandrockmusic2- I loved this!!! Because the “Ex” series used TDI characters, I won’t penalize you for it this time. The characters were amazingly written, especially Andrea. In fact, I sent a link to the story to the person I based Andrea on, and she agreed it sounded just like her! Especially the part about loving sanity, LOL. There weren’t any spelling or grammar problems I noticed, either. Great job!!!

Oweguy- No story, no review.

Usitgz- This seemed to be in Ed’s personality, and Lacey’s, but it was incredibly short. There were also some minor grammar issues. Overall, I wish you had made this longer. If you had gone into a bit more detail, I’m sure this would have been superb.

Results
Sunshine: Okay... the winner of this week's challenge, as decided by Sprinklemist and myself, is... '''THE WRITING GOPHERS!!! '''Congrats, guys! Bass... we have a surprise twist for you. NIzzy and Oweguy did not write stories this week. In order to get the challenge schedule back on track, we're going to have you two be the bottom two. Now, why should you stay?

NIzzy's Reason to Stay
Well I was going to do the challenge but I got pulled of my P.C because my mom was in hospital... anyway enough of that. I’ve enjoyed this camp and it’s been my first writing camp ever, I’ve had my up’s and down’s, I know I’m not the best and I have my weaknesses however if I’m going to be honest I truly think Owenguy101 should stay... I think he deserves Adiminship way more than me. Go Oweguy! So I'm dropping out... (If thats even allowed when you're in the bottom two either way I'm leaving.)

Oweguy's Reason to Stay
Well I did start the story the day before the challenge ended. I just forgot to finished it on time. The reason I forgot to write it was because I was busy with school and I needed to relax. I enjoy the Total Drama Author camps and I hope I'll do well at this. Like NIzzy said, I should deserve Adminship and I should try my best to win. If NIzzy leaves the competition, I'd would say she'd did a good job in the competition. Anyway. I think I should desearve to stay. If I stay, I hope to get my story up on time. Sorry I forgot too.

The Decision
Sunshine: ...well, NIzzy dropped out... so, no further elimination. Bye, NIzzy. You will be missed.

Week 5
Sunshine: Congrats, guys! You've survived four challenges and eliminations! How are ya feeling?

Chimmy: I'm feeling amazing! This is way farther than I thought I'd get. I'd like to thank everyone on my team, cause' I owe you for still being here! And Sunshine and Sprinkle and...*sniffles* THANK YOU!!! *bawls* (XD By the way, I GTG)

Tdirm2: I'm still here, I'm doing better than I thought. *plays Billy Idol and sings along horribly*

''Dancing with myself oh-oh-oh, Dancing with myself. ''

When there's nothing to prove and there's nothing to lose oh-oh Dancing with myself oh-oh-Oh

* Breaks windows and Sunshine's abnormally large glasses* Oops

TBTDIF: Eh, I guess I'm happy. I mean, I don't really find anything special about being in the final...final...finals. (Uh...epik fale? Ummm...Ex...deeh?)

Dominator: I'm not sure how big an accomplishment is for five weeks...

(CONF) Dominator: Ooh... I survived four eliminations! What a shocker!... I guess for some people that's a big thing, but I'm not even half way of my goal of final five. Well, I guess my real goal is winning. But if I make it to final five I'll get an account.

Dominator: Way to go, Gophers! If we keep this up, the six of us will be the final six.

(CONF) Dominator: I think I might be low man on the totem pole on my team... I know it's not because of my writing, they just don't like me as a person...

(CONF) CK11: I survived four eliminations! This is way farther than I thought I would go! ... ... Do you think I could actually take this thing to the final FIVE?

(CONF) TBTDIF: Have I ever made it at least three quarters through in this epic trilogy? No. What makes me think I can? Nothing. Honestly, what's with the hype about the final five?

Tdirm:(CONF) If the Gophers lose, Dom could be in big trouble. He still seems somewhat snobby, which is sad, because I think he's a good writer, and seemed polite for the first challenge.

Tdirm: Can't wait for challenge five, wonder what it is.

Sorrel: *notices its week5* WHOA im sooo glad i stayed even though i....... NEVER MInd

Chimmy:I'm loving my story so far, I think it ging to be the most passionate one I've ever written.

Sunshine: Everyone's dying this week... o.O

Chimmy:OMG IT'S ANOTHER APOCOLYPSE!!!! *runs in random circles* (By the way, TDIRM, DUncan's body never able to be found made me cry, and I never cry.)

Sunshine: I was very, very close to crying reading both of your stories... I'm pathetic... XD

Chimmy: I think that if my mom read my story, our house would be flooded within half an hour. (XD)

Tdirm:Chimmy, if that made you cry, read Violet Hill. It's a one-shot I made on the fanfic wiki that made Sunshine, Sprinkle, and Fadingsliverstar16 cry. Wait, it's not Fadingsilverstar16, it's Gigi. I miss you Gigi! That didn't come out right! (She's a girl, I'm a guy)

Sunshine: Yeah... then I read it again the other day, and I almost cried again. XD

TBTDIF: My story is rather abstract in terms of the couple thing, but I think it'll be okay.

(CONF) Dominator: I see all the others hanging out with Sunshine, so I figure since I'm going to be an admin someday, and thus equally powerful as her, I should try to be her friend... And, you know, who is she gonna pick to win? Silent me, or one of her friends?

Dominator: I think I'm gonna do a pairing me and Nalyd love... BridgettexHarold! XD

Chimmy: Yeah, I read Violet Hill today, I cried again...OMG I'M TURNING INTO MY MOM!!!! (XD) (OK&lt; now I really GTG)

Sprinklemist: Tdirm, I totally didn't cry! I only cry at things that aren't supposed to make you cry, for some reason... Man, I wish this challenge existed last season... That's why I did the Lindsay-Noah story on our free week.

Chimmy:Gophers! We only have 2 more days left to do this, so if you cna, please post up a story! We do NOT want to lose again!

Usitgz: C'mon Bass we can do it!

CK11: There's a reference to TBTDIF in my story

Chimmy:Ah, well, ya win some, you lose some. Let's hope luck is on our side next time, Gophers, and put out some awesome stories!

CK11: w00t Bas win *does a dance*

(CONF) CK11: Dominator's going down.

Chimmy:I hope Dom doesn't get eliminated. He's a great writer and teamate. It's weird, this pattern...one week they win, another, we win, and so on...0__o

Nalyd: *flies in from an airplane* I need to talk to Sprinklemist or Sunshine! This is urgent! Code author! (Either of you on here? I need to talk to one of you in this camp.)

Sprinklemist: I'm here.

Nalyd: Okay. *pulls Sprinklemist and Sunshine (when she gets on) away from the contestants* I'm afraid that due to some medical issues in real life that boy *points to Dominaton* has to withdraw from the contest. I talked to him, this is what he wants to do. I guess I can give you all a minute to say good-bye...

Sunshine: *gasps* Oh no!!! Poor Dom!!! *whispers to Sprinklemist* Does this remind you of someone or is it just me? (Sorry I haven't been on...)

Usitgz: *eaves drops* Bye Dominator, you were a great competitor!

Challenge 5
This week will be another classic challenge from TDA season 1... you will be writing a story with a non-canon TDI couple! For example, Cody-Lindsay or Courtney-Trent. You can check the Total Drama Wiki for canon couples and some non-canon couples. You'll be judged on the usual spelling and grammar stuff, plus if you made the couple seem believable and how good the story was in general. Good luck guys!

Sunshine's Reviews (Writing Gophers)
Anonymos- I liked this one! Heather-Duncan seems pretty believable. They both seemed to have their personalities, all sarcastic and mean and stuff. I love how, somehow, the title ended up making sense. Excellent!

Tdi- No story, no review.

Chimchar- Ahh, DJ-Katie… brings back memories… This was great! DJ and Katie seem to be a good match. Sadie’s horrible death was so emotional (I’m close to crying as I review this…) And it makes sense that it took the loss of her to get Katie to become her own person and pursue DJ. Overall, amazing! Excellent job!

Sorrie- No story, no review.

Dominator- No story, no review.

Cards777- No story, no- ahh, you get it by now…

Sprinklemist's Reviews (Typing Bass)
tdiandrockmusic2 - O_O It's a good thing that Sunshine didn't have to review this story, she would have cried for sure. I was too tired to cry, however. You write tragedy so extremely well. I also loved Heather in this story, as well. I didn't notice any spelling or grammar mistakes, so good job there. The pairing was interesting and believable as Noah and Courtney have semi-similar interests. Overall, you did fantastic.

Turnertang - No story.

Thebiggesttdifan - The writing was really good here, and the pairing was a good one. I didn't notice any spelling or grammar mistakes, so great job. The only thing I saw as slightly negative was the fact that I got confused twice. In the beginning I thought the story was from Ezekiel's perspective as you said "eh?", and then the next paragraph said "I was the only girl there", so after being confused, I thought you were switching between Ezekiel and Bridgette's perspective, until I read the other paragraphs. Then I was confused by the ending. I have no clue why Ezekiel was talking that way, or why he was in a garage. It could have used more explanation.

Cokeman11 - This story was very sweet. I liked it. I loved the little bit of humor, namely the nine penguins suing Trent's Dad. O_O Anyway, Gwen and Noah are also a good pairing, as they are both sarcastic and a little whiny. I just didn't understand the "It's not my fault he was voted out third!" line. It sounds to me like Gwen's mom remembered Noah better than she claimed. Plus, that line should have a comma in there, I think. But that sentence was the only flaw I noticed, so good job.

Oweguy - Your story was okay. It was riddled with flaws. "Gwen is just feeling sad about not being with Gwen and shouldn’t have broken up with him." is one example... The punctuation was very poor, unfortunately. You should have wrote "Okay, yes." instead of "Okay yes.", "Hi, Gwen." instead of "Hi Gwen.", for example. Another flaw is when you write a sentence in quotation marks, it needs to look like this: "I hear you," said Trent. You didn't put the comma at the end of a quoted sentence, before the 'said whoever' part. Also the ice cream line was a question, and you put a period at the end of it. What I loved about the story most, though, was the part where Owen asked out Eva. Best. Couple. Evah!

Usitgz - This story had some funny moments, but there were a lot of spelling mistakes. You used "were" instead of "where" a few times, "sterted", and "penut". Also, "alot" isn't a word. The story was good overall, though.

Results
Sunshine: I think it's obvious that this week's winner is... THE TYPING BASS!!! Congrats, guys!!! Gophers... another week on the chopping block... good luck, guys.

Gophers Vote
Who should be in the bottom 2 this week? Anonymos Tdi Chimchar Sorrie Dominator Cards777

Cards777's Reason to Stay
I think I should stay because I am a good author. I have worked hard on all of my stories. I am sorry that I could not get my story in this week, I thought the story was dur on Friday, but if I stay in the game I promise I will get my story in next week. I had a story that was almost half-way finished. I joined Total Drama Author 3 because I wanted to improve my writing skills. I hope I can stay in the competition.

The Decision
Well, due to unfortunate circumstances, Dominator is dropping out of the competition. I'd like to thank him for giving it a try. He's a good writer and a great strategist. I hope that he gets better, and that he joins next season.

Week 6
Sunshine: With that, it's down to only eleven authors. You guys ready for the next challenge?

Chimmy:Wow, Dom...I never thought he'd be the one to go. It's definetly gonna be harder to win, Gophers, but we have to try! Let's try our best at the next challenge!

TBTDIF: Dominator has m-m-medical issues? Does this mean...no, of course he wouldn't die...would he?

Chimmy:OMG, I just realized that when you said that...I'm such a Lindsay. If it is medical issues, I really hope it's not terminal, or something like cancer. I don't know how I'd take that news, but it wouldn't be pretty...

TBTDIF: You're nothing like a Lindsay. I really hope that Dominator doesn't die...and if he does, Nalyd might quit the wiki. Say, what would happen if anyone like Nalyd or Sunshine or Sprinkle or Gigi died? (Okay, shut up, I don't want to cause a tragedy...-TBTDIF's conscience)

Chimmy:Thanks. Anyways, what do you think the challenge will be like?

TBTDIF: Maybe we'll get to write a song explaining some of the details in TDI! *fetches pen and computer*

Chimmy:If that was true, I'd probably get eliminated. I stink at writing songs. I sort of hope it's the parody challenge...

Sunshine: Sprinkle's doing the challenge this week, and personally, I think it's going to result in some awesome stories!

Chimmy:OK. I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I KNOW DOM'S OK!!! *passes out onto the floor, snores* (XD EPIC FAIL!)

Sprinklemist: It didn't sound fatally serious... Only Nalyd can tell us... Anyway should I post the challenge early (tonight)?

Chimmy:I don't care much, as long as I get to write some PWNAGE stories with my team! Gophers, assemble! *tumbleweed rolls by* Aw, COME ON!!! (XD)

Nalyd: *after reading all the comments* Don't worry guys. Dominator, that old son of a gun, is going to live. And he hopes y'all know that if Sunshine opens a Playa Des Authors challenge for somebody to return, you better watch out. *leaves on plane, several Nalyd fans cry that they didn't get to talk to him*

Chimmy:Thank GOODNESS!!!! Dom, if your reading this, I just want you to know that I think you should be here. By the way, when is someone gonna create Playa des Authors 3?

Usitgz: I know this is random, but GO BASS!!!!

Chimmy:...Okay???

Usitgz: Just wanted to lighten the mood!

Tdirm2:Aw man, poor Dom. I wouldn't have called him snobby if he had these medical issues.

Chimmy:I'm pretty sure everybody's feeling bad for him right now.

Tdirm: Yeah, I agree. On a completly different note, am I the only one on this wiki who does not know what Sonic is?

Chimmy:For that, I'd have to survey everybody on the wiki...but I'm guessing yes. Want me to tell you? Of course, you could go to this page, but what fun would that be?

TBTDIF: I consider Nintendo to be better than Sega (characters too). I mean, look! Nintendo's got a system with a motion-control device, and all Sega's got is this skimpy little television named after themselves.

Chimmy:Well, I respect your opinion, but I personally think that the two are just about equal. I mean, Mario is more popular than Sonic in the US, but Sonic is more popular than Mario in the UK. While Mario is very popular, I believe Sonic is equally popular. Again, I respect your opinion, but I have to disagree with it.

Sunshine: Personally, I perfer Sonic to Mario. Yes, this is majorly because the Sonic series has Shadow... but still! I did like Super Mario Sunshine, though. (And I seem to be alone in this opinion, based on reviews it got... XD)

Tdirm2: I'm working on my story right now. It's dark and serious. Again. Why do I write like an emo?

TBTDIF: I'm not sure what to write my story about...Chim, the beginning of your story is hilarious!

Chimmy:Thanks. At first, I wasn't sure who would be the detective. Then I realized that Owen's appetite would be a large source of humor, so that's why. At the end of the story I have planned...well, I doubt anyone would expect it.

TBTDIF: Aha! I've got it! I'll make a prequel to my murder mystery back in Season 2!

CK11: *thinks* *thinks more* *thinks a lot* Ezekiel missing! Detective Bridgette! Suspects Noah, Gwen, Eva, Duncan! *realizes everyone is mourning the elimination of Dominator* ...Oh, and long live Dominator.

Sunshine: From what I've seen of the stories so far, this week is gonna be EPIC.

Chimmy:I think mine is pretty good, but that'll be up to Sun and Sprink to decide. (GTG do homework)

CK11: Mine'll be up by Wednesday.

Chimmy:So...bored...

Sprinklemist: *throws some flaming batons to Chimmy for her to juggle*

Chimmy:Wait-what? *is hit in face by baton* IT BURNS US!! IT BURNS US!!! *flails around randomly* (XD)

Tdirm2: I finished my story, it's horrible. At least I turned one in though.

TBTDIF: My story is so hard to write because every mention of Duncan's mom in it makes me wanna cry...

Chimmy:Wow, Nonny, your story totally PWNS mine...at the off chance that we are the final 2, (Which i seriously doubt I'll be there) I think I know who's hosting TDA4.

Anonymos: Thanks!

Chimmy:No prob. Now, where was I...oh yeah! *stares at picture of Shadow* (XD)

TBTDIF: Finally, FINALLY my story is done. Please have reviews be tomorrow...please, please!

Usitgz:Whew, finished on time.

Chimmy:FINALLY REVIEWS!! *reads*...CURSE MY LACK OF LEGAL KNOWLEDGE!!!! (XD)

Chimmy:(CONF)I think Nonny and I are the only ones who've posted a story each week...but that's beside the point. Why I came in here is to tell you something. Since the day I've joined, I've known this place was my destiny. And ever since having those grammer issues in Week 1, I made a promise to myself. A promise that I would never again be penalized for grammer mistakes. So far, I've been able to achieve that goal. But right now, I'm thinking about a lot of things. What're the next challenges gonna be? Is there gonna be a free week? I suck at TDI/A writing without inspiration. And what about my buddies on the Writing Gophers? Will one of them be the next to go? And what about the people on the Typing Bass who have been so kind to me despite being on opposite teams? Don't worry, I definatley won't quit because of these reasons. In fact, when I came to this wiki, I made a promise to never quit a camp unless I was in a bad situation. Kinda like my pal, Dom. It's just that I have so many questions, but none of the anwers...

Tdirm:Uh Chimmy, I've turned in a story every week too. I think mine this week is horrendous, but I continuosly turn things in.

TBTDIF: I've also turned in a story every week.

Chimmy:Oh, I forgot to add that I meant on the Gophers, not everybody in the game. My bad, guys.

Challenge 6
This week the challenge will be a tribute to the mystery genre. Take any of the Total Drama characters that we all know and love and use them as the characters for this story. You can either write a story in the noir/hard-boiled style, detective fiction, courtroom drama, or any other style you can think of that would fit into the mystery theme. Don't make the story overly gorey or graphic, please. Have fun! Your entry is due Thursday.

Sprinklemist's Reviews (Writing Gophers)
Anonymos - This story was so good. It was incredibly believable, and all of the characters sounded like themselves. Your sense of humor also shined through. The only thing wrong about it was some grammar issues. You missed "a" twice, you said "asked" in reference to a statement, and one sentence repeated itself. But with a story of this length, it is kind of inevitable to have some minor mistakes. Great job this week.

Tdi - No story. No review.

Chimchar - I loved this story. I think you're a better writer than you realize. It was funny, and the investigation side of the story was really good, too. The "hammer-thingy" lines were hilarious. You do a fantastic job with grammar and spelling, and that is much appreciated. One problem was that to my knowledge, only one person can be tried and punished during a court trial, but other than that your story was really great.

Sorrel - No story this week.

Cards777 - Good job on the story. It was a pretty fun idea, but a little hard to follow at times, honestly. There were a few punctuation errors, and at one point you forgot a quotation mark when Ezekiel was speaking. I liked the twist ending, a lot. I like twist endings. Lol.

Sunshine's Reviews (Typing Bass)
Turnertang- Four teenagers and a dog… no clue who they are. This was really good, and of course, hilarious! Who would have thought Duncan and Beth would team up as detectives? Great job with the mystery story clichés, like the secret passage and unexpected villain, too. Just some minor grammar issues. Overall, great!

TBTDIF- *forces self not to cry* Excellent job. You write tragedy really well. I think you put across the relationship between Duncan and his parents really well. I loved the sea sponge thing, too. Nice work!!!!

COKEMAN11- Is this zebra going to be a regular thing with you? XD Nice work, this was really funny. Loved Chris’s leetspeak! That final twist with Heather and the RCMP was great! Really good job!

Tdiandrockmusic2- I’M NOT A STALKER! XD LOL, this was great! The investigation, to me at least, seemed realistic. The suspects each had a good reason to kill Trent so I had no idea who had done it until that final ending twist!!! And, of course, I loved the little Sunshine bit. Great job!!!

Oweguy- I liked this one! From the McDonalds guy to the encounter with Heather in the sewers, this was just like a mystery novel or an episode of Scooby-Doo! Or… y’know… another one of those mystery things… I loved Duncan as Geoff’s undercover helper. The one problem, at the end you put “All in a days worth” instead of “All in a day’s work” and “If you every have a crime problem” instead of “If you ever have a crime problem”. Other than that, good job!

Usigtz- This was… um… weird. But, not in a bad way. It was funny that it was a dream about a dream, and that BUNNY WAS THE MURDERER!!! A few things I noticed, though… one, whatever Harold called the whale wasn’t shown for some reason, and two, you never said who was killed. Other than that, pretty good!

Results
Sunshine: Okay, looking at the stories each team has submitted this week, Sprinkle and I agree that the winners of this week's challenge are... THE TYPING BASS!!! Congrats again, guys! Gophers... no vote this week (since I took so long with reviews... sorry, guys...) This week our bottom 2 are the two who didn't contribute stories... Tdi and Sorrel.

Tdi's Reason to Stay
I'm sorry I didn't post a story for the past weeks. I have forgotten that I was in. But, that shouldn't completly save me from elimination. I would hate to say names, but Sorrel, that I know've, has posted either no or one story. Im not sure how many I have posted, but I have posted, like, two stories. I will try to post a next story if I stay. I hope you still consider me.

The Decision
Sunshine: Sprinklemist and I have made our decision. The author that will be leaving us today is... Sorrel. Sorry, Sorrel, but you've gotta contribute if you want to stay in the game. See you.

Week 7
Sunshine: And that brings us to the FINAL TEN AUTHORS!!! How are you feeling, guys?

Anonymos: Like a bowlful of rainbows!

Sunshine: SKITTLES! TASTE THE RAINBOW! (XD, I couldn't resist...)

CK11: The rainbow tastes delicious! *realizes that it's a SOUR skittle rainbow* SO SOUR (fail)

Chimmy:I...I-*breaks down into tears* I feel better than I ever had in my life! Thank you all! My teamates! Without you, I wouldn't be here! The hosts! Without you, I wouldn't be here either! The Typing Bass! You're amazing authors and great competition! Shadow the Hedgehog! His uber pwnageness has inspired me all the way! (XD) Noah! Just because I feel like it! (XD) Thank you! I'm gonna try my hardest to prove that I belong among these great people and authors!

CK11: I...I... *stops getting emotional, plays a 6Teen parody of the Typing Bass* LIFE BEGINS AT THE WIKI. THAT'S WHERE WE BEND ALL THE...Uh...SOMETHING THAT RHYMES WITH WIKI (epic fail XD)

Chimmy:So...anybody want homemade ANZAC biscuits? *hands out tray* They're some Australina thing I found a recipie of on the web! I tried one, and I nearly passed out from the awesomesauceness! (XD)

Oweguy: Whohoo! The final ten! I've got this game in the bag!

CK11: Every time I think I've got the game in the bag, Nonny edits and it reminds me that I'm against the best STILL COMPETING author from TDA2

Chimmy:So...is that a no on the ANZAC biscuits?

TBTDIF: *sings Eat It in heavy metal and then a soft acoustic ballad* Wow! Final ten! Really, this thing seems to just fly by.

Tdi: It may have taken me three seasons, but I have made it to the final ten! (XD)

cards: I'm very happy!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEE!!!!(Katie and Sadie Monent!) I made it to the Final Ten!!! I wonder what will happen now? (Beth Moment!)

Chimmy:Oh, well, more ANZAC biscuits for me! *chows down* DID YOU KNOW TODAY IS GOOGLE'S 11th ANNEVERSARY?!?!??! (XD)

Tdi: OMG I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'(

Chimmy:I'm bored...ooh, I know! *dramatic pause, caramelldanses* (XD)

TBTDIF: *sings Eat It in the style of Bob Dylan*

Chimmy:*caramelldanses to random HSM stuffs* (XD)

Tdirm:Top ten, yeah baby! We should do something until our two admins (Sprinkle was made one today) post the next challenge. We should um...uh...get in a circle and sing Kumbaya? (Ugh, that wasn't an epic fail. That was an UBER FAIL!)

Chimmy:Ooh! How about we make fireworks! I know how, and it doesn't require any equipment!

Tdirm: *realizes that making fireworks without experienced professionals in dangerous and wonders how to distract Chimmy, gets answer* Look Chimmy! Shadow and Duncan are right outside! Go stalk them!

TBTDIF: Got a harmonica, anyone?

Chimmy:OK! *walks outside, brings back Shadow* Thanks! Besides, I needed him for the fireworks!

Tdirm: *pictures Chimmy blowing him up with a homemade firework* What about Duncan?

Chimmy:Today's Sunny's day to stalk him. (XD) Anyways...let's get rolling!

Shadow:*charges up Chaos Blast, Chimmy breathes fire into it, releases Chaos Blast*

Chaos Blast:*explodes in sky, making firework of TDIRM*

Chimmy:Any requests?

Tdirm: Ooh, do one of a DuncanxGwen kiss scene. I bet will hear the diehard DxC=TxG fans cry out "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

Tdirm; Also, Chimmy, how your're making us as Sonic characters, why don't you make Sunshine the Ravioli Hedgehog. That would be epic.

TBTDIF: *grabs hatchet, is about to cut Shadow's head off when--* Hey, kid, got a harmonica?

Chimmy:*quickly hands over harmonica to save Shadow's life, and just in case, grabs hatchet* Phew! :*makes firework, GxT and CxD fans all over the world scream out "NOOOOOOOO!!!"* (XD)

Sunshine: *arrives, mutters under breath "I log off for a few hours and chaos happens..." (XD)* So, Gophers... you may have noticed, your team has two authors less than the Typing Bass... anyone know what that means?

Tdi: We get one of them?????????

Chimmy:We eat pocky? (XD, ULTIMATE FAIL!)

Sunshine: Yup, and what the heck. *gives everyone pocky (XD)* Typing Bass, please vote for a team member to give over to the Writing Gophers.

Nalyd: *flies in on a helicopter again* Guys, I have some news.

Sunshine: *salutes* Renrut, sir! What is the news, sir! (What? I'm below Nalyd in rank. I'm a n00b admin, Nalyd's an EPIC admin. XD)

Chimmy:...is it about Dominator, or is it just some completley random thing you wanted to tell us? *remembers she's allergic to peanuts and that pocky are produced in a place that manufactures peanuts, gives her pocky to Nalyd* (XD)

Nalyd: At eases, Pasti. This is about Dominator... He's all better!

Chimmy:*gaspeth* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (XD)

Sunshine: Excellent news, sir! I'll have celebrations ready immediately, sir! *hands out pocky, White Rabbit candy, and ravioli, parties* (XD)

CK11: Does that mean he... COMES BACK AT THE MERGE BY DEFAULT? *votes to send Usitgz over to the Gophers*

Nalyd: I wish. Unfortunately, I'm not in charge of this season, Sunshine is. She and Sprinklemist can decide if they'll let anybody come back. However, come next season, we will be going to a new format, and I'll be back. Okay, bye guys! *gets back on plane, plane lands again* By the way Sunshine, I need to talk to you in my office. *points to magical floating office*

Sunshine: ...where did you... *shrugs, goes into magical floating office*

CK11: Does that mean if I win, I co-host TDA4 with the best user ever? *waits for yelling from Sunshine*

Nalyd: Sit down, Sunshine. *magic chair has Sunshine sit on it* (Don't ask where I got all the magic stuff. I bought it on eBay. XD) The first week of the merge, call me back here and tell me who had the best story. I am gonna be having a meeting with them. Do you understand? (I need to make sure you weren't staring at the Duncan statue I accidentally bought. I tried to get a Beth statue. XD)

TBTDIF: I think Chimmy or Nonny will win. TDIRM will come second, and the remaining of Chimmy and Nonny would finish third. I'd finish fourth, Turnertang would finish fifth, CK11 would finish sixth, Usitgz would finish seventh, Owe would finish eighth, Cards would finish ninth, and Tdi would finish tenth.

Sunshine: Yessir, understood completely. Sprinklemist and I are deciding the date for the merge as we speak. *salutes*

Nalyd: Good, you are doing great as host. Keep it up. And remember one thing... *trapdoor releases under Sunshine, and as Sunshine falls Nalyd shouts* Sorry! I was gonna press that after I gave you the advice! (LOL) *Nalyd disappears*

Tdirm:Yay, Dom 's better. I vote Usitgz. Why? Because I don't know him/her/other, him/her/other never commented in the chat sections. That and I can't prononce his/her's/other's screen name.

Usitgz: One, I have talked on this page before, two I'm a he, and three it's prononced (Use-it-guh-z)! I'm sorry about that, its just I'm not the calmest dude sometimes. I vote myself, because I want to be on the other team, even though my friends were booted...

TBTDIF: I vote...Oweguy.

Sprinklemist: I eat a box of Pocky a day... I love Pocky. *cries*

What's Pocky? Can I get it in the United States?

Chimmy:You can get Pocky in the US. It's a frosting coated stick thing.

Sunshine: *tosses Sprinklemist a box of pocky* There's a majority vote against Usitgz, so... welcome to the Gophers! *whacks Usitgz with ravioli wand, he magically becomes a Writing Gopher* Now, let's get the challenge started!

Oweguy: Huh? Why Usitgz? Why not TBTDIF?

Chimmy:Usitgz had 2 votes, I think TBTDIF had one.

Tdirm:Chimmy, why did you put your signature there? Anyways, *makes firework of Sunshine tacklehugging Duncan with Shadow*

Chimmy:Oops, sometimes I forget I'm not on talk pages and post my signature. I removed it. Anywho...*makes firework of her making out with Shadow* (XD)

TBTDIF: Chim, your story was phenomenal! Do you like mine? And stop the fireworks, please.

Chimmy:Thanks! I love asking the public opinion, but I like it even better when they just go right up and tell me. I'm gonna try my best to make it to the marge-bleck, the merge, and try my very hardest to have the best story that week! I know I have some exremley worthy competition...*glnaces at everybody* but I'm still gonna give it my all! *realizes that TBTDIF asked to stop the fireworks, pouts* Oh, well...*decides to come up with next CU challenge* (XD, I've actually come up with it...I'm just still LOLing at my merge-marge mistake!)

Tdirm: I posted my story! Instead of doing my math homework! I have to go,for obvious reasons! And sorry TBTDIF, I have to do one more! *makes GO TYPING BASS!!! firework with Shadow, then punts him out the door*

Chimmy:Wawit-didn't TBTDIF say to stop with the fireworks? Oh, well...*makes WRITING GOPHERS FTW firework by herself, get 0___o stares* What? Shad's my boyfriend, I picked up a few things from him...(XD, Merge, come and get Homer!)

Chimmy:Of course, pretty much everyone PWNS me in real life. Escpecially with socializing. But on the internet, I can just let all my worries slip away...gee, I sound like I'm on a television program! *looks around for hidden cameras* (XD)

Tdi: If Cokeman and Oweguy don't post, we will probably win!

Tdirm:I like my story this week. I thought it came out good. Also Chimmy, remember when I din't want to make the fireworks?

Chimmy:Ah...those were the days...I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm wondering when Sunny is gonna protect the page. But to pass the time...*stuffs self on tacos* (XD, I love tacos. NOT THE TROJAN KIND! XD, random Izzy refrence)

Sunshine: *stealthily wheels Trojan Taco out door* (XD) Challenge over, guys! Reviews will be up soon.

Chimmy:You know what's funny? I actually googled those surf moves, they exist. I wanted to make sure my story was realistic. *sudden realization* FINAL NINE!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (XD, I'm esctatic!) *celebrates by going to theme park with Shadow*

Sunshine: *goes with them* (THIRD WHEEL! XD)

Chimmy: *rides Bizarro witih Shadow* AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

(conf) CK11: *crying* I'm the reason my team lost... But I have a good reason to stay... *cries harder* *takes out paper and starts writing his reason to stay if necessary*

Tdirm: I totally screwed up! I had to finish that story in one day, and look what happens. THere werent any puncuation errors when I used spell check on Microsoft Word. Now, I'm so eliminated. *heads to theme park with Chimmy, Sunshine, and Shadow.* I'll join in the antics one more time before Playa des Authors.

(conf) CK11: *still crying* I'll go to the amusement park and have fun with everyone just one more time before I have to be eliminated.

Chimmy:*while going down water sldie with Shadow* It sucks to have friends in the bottom...then again, that's pretty much everyone for me...But I've gotta keep a positive attitude! Being all gloomy and sad won't get me anywhere! And CK11, even if you are eliminated, you'll still have had an uber time!

Sunshine: *rides merry-go-round eight dozen times* (LOL TWE REFERENCE)

Chimmy:*dances to the six flags theme song with Mr. Six*

Shadow:*sweatdrops*

Sunshine: *dances with the Ten Flags fat guy* (XD MORE TWE REFERENCE)

Shadow:*randomly teleports everyone to Disney World, goes to Blizzerd beach with Chimmy* (By the way, guess what I just got! SONIC AND THE SECRET RINGS!!!)

Challenge 7
This week's challenge will be to do a character personal life fic. This means you will write about a character's life outside the TDI series. A few good examples of these would be the "Ex" series, Diary of a Quiet Goth., and I'd Like to Thank the Academy. Try to be original and creative, while still sticking to the character's (or characters') personality. This will be due on Friday (due to the late challenge posting). Good luck!

Sunshine's Reviews (Writing Gophers)
Anonymos- Very, very, very creative using Chef instead of one of the contestants. This was, as expected with your work, hilarious!!! Chef was extremely in character, and I loved the description of how he made that, er, “interesting” meal. Chef and Darlene made me LOL. “I LIVE HERE, WOMAN!!!” That was great! I also really liked the epilogue. Great job overall!

Tdi- This was pretty good. It seemed very Courtney. I loved how she scoffed at the idea of a prep and a delinquent getting together. It almost seemed incomplete, though (I’m not sure if you actually didn’t finish or if that was the end). I wish there had been more, as I wanted to see what else would happen to (almost) everyone’s favorite CIT. Still, what you did have written was good.

Chimchar- How can I put this gently… THIS WAS GREAT! This seemed very much in Bridgette’s personality, and Ezekiel’s, and Geoff’s. I felt myself being truly affected by the emotions in the story, which, I’ll tell you now, takes a lot of skill. I felt angry when Bridgette was sabotaged, touched by Geoff’s apology, and amazed by Bridgette’s surf moves. I’m no expert, but the surfing moves sounded like real surfing terminology, which was great. Awesome job overall!!!

Cards777- I liked this one! Lindsay was hilarious, Beth was… well, Beth, and I liked Beth’s mom shouting “What is that awful, horrible noise?” There were just a few words you mixed up, like “there” instead of “they’re”. Also, you misspelled “Monday” as “Manday” at one point. Other than that, nice.

Usitgz- This one was pretty funny. Poor, poor Justin! I can imagine him freaking out like this. However, like Tdi’s story, this felt too short, almost incomplete. I wish you had written more. This would have been funny if Justin had perhaps actually gone to the circus. Also, I’m pretty sure “ated” isn’t a word. Still, it was all right! Nice work!

Sprinklemist's Reviews (Typing Bass)
tdiandrockmusic2 - This story is very sweet, and I like it. It proves to me that you are able to come up with a story idea without some major tragedy befalling a beloved character, just as effectively. I was kind of under the impression, though, that the story was meant to be about the characters after, or before, TDI, while your story was intended as the characters not knowing each other, previously. Unfortunately, and uncharacteristically, the story is marred by punctuation mistakes, and one tiny grammar mistake. The sentence, "Ever since one daring nerd Harold rigged my..." should have been, "Ever since one daring nerd, Harold, rigged my..." The same sentence should have ended at "lamppost" and then the next part should have been a new sentence. "Keri, the girl who sits next to me and is the only friend I have," should have the "is" taken out in the context of the rest of the sentence. You also missed a lot of commas, like the sentence that says, "Trent ma'am." Ma'am becomes his last name, because of the lack of a comma. This sentence needed some punctuation, too, "I left the cafeteria, no scratch that we left the cafeteria." It should have been, "I left the cafeteria. No, scratch that. We left the cafeteria." I only mention that sentence because the effect is lost with the lack of proper punctuation. The grammar mistake was "a" instead of "an", but that's pretty minor. I didn't list all of the punctuation mistakes, but there were a lot of them. I'm a big fan of your work, and you know that. I really hope you make it passed this week. Just work on avoiding these errors, next time. Again, the story aspect was very good.

Turnertang - This story was hilarious. Great job with it. The only issue I had was punctuation and grammar. In the first sentence, the quotes should have ended with commas, not periods, because the sentence was continuing. Also, the very last sentence needed a couple of commas. Also, the sentence in paragraph three should have read this way, "but I crashed our car so we were stuck on the highway for an hour." But other than that the story was great. I loved the idea of saying "I was like," and "my friends were all." Lol.

Thebiggesttdifan - This story was extremely gloomy, but really well written. I didn't notice any grammar or punctuation errors, so good job with that. Overall, I see nothing wrong with the story, so great job.

Cokeman11 - No story this week. No review.

Oweguy - I liked your story a lot this week. One of my favorite genres is slice of life, a genre that seems fairly unnoticed. It basically means a page out of the character's life or lives, even though nothing noteworthy really happens. So, in other words, I liked how realistic your story is. I also liked the straightforwardness of your writing. There were some negative points, however. In one sentence, you wrote "Anyway. Heather..." when you should have wrote "Anyway, Heather..." You missed a few other commas, as well. There were also two sentences that confused me. "Heather still got what she got even though she got puked on." and "It’s not a problem that he and his mom makes good sandwiches but seriously." Overall, the story was good, and I can see your storytelling improving.

The Results
Sunshine: The decision has been made! The winners of this week's challenge are... THE WRITING GOPHERS!!! Congrats, guys! Bass... what happened? You were winning challenges like nobody's business until now. Well, whatever happened, it's time for the vote.

Typing Bass Vote
Who should be in the bottom two this week? Tdiandrockmusic2 Turnertang Thebiggesttdifan COKEMAN11 Oweguy

Sunshine: With four and five votes respectively, this week's bottom two is... TBTDIF and COKEMAN11.

TBTDIF's Reason to Stay
I honestly believe I should stay because I am a consistent writer in this competition. I've written a story every single week every time these past seasons, leaving only one half-finished, but that was personal. I've got perenially good grammar for my team, and the basic idea and theme of my story has never been bad to the judges this season. Even my rudeness and anger has died down notably. Another thing I don't get is why everyone is here to become an admin. Sure, being an admin would be sweet, and being a co-host would be rad, but what reason am I here for? To write. If I'm not in TDA3, I don't write very often. There's just nothing to motivate me. So I'm here to write, basically, and to see what results the judges gave me each week.

Oh yeah. Just for the record, if I lost now, this would be my lowest placement (technically got 5 out of 10 in TDA, and technically 8 out of 16 in TDA2, which equals 50% both times) so I don't want to lose right now. I wanna go higher than before.

COKEMAN11's Reason to Stay
Ah, yes. Here today in the bottom two with TBTDIF...again. Now, I've posted a story every week besides this one. I couldn't get to my story because I had to go to this camping thing at my school for three days, and then when I came back I had a little bit more homework than usual. So, I was busy and couldn't post my story. I'm not the trash-talking type, but I'm nice...oh, forget that, TBTDIF is trying to be nice. I think that users like me, Chimmy, and Cards should stay if in the bottom two because people like TBTDIF and Anonymos have been in at least one of the past TDAuthor seasons. Me, Chimmy and others are new to the TDAuthor series...not to mention this wiki itself. Okay, maybe not THAT new, but still. I joined to test my writing skills. And then improve them. I love writing. So, please, let me stay. I'll try to have stories up a lot. I want to live up to...um...whoever it was that made a prediction that I'd finish sixth. I want to live up to that. This is my favorite camp that I'm in. Heck, my favorite camp overall. &lt;/reasoning&gt;

The Decision
Sunshine: This was an extremely tough choice. Two great authors stand in front of me... and only one will continue on. Sprinklemist and I have made our decision, and the eliminated author this week is... COKEMAN11. Sorry, dude, we truly wish you could have continued on, but in the end your missing story brought your downfall. If you'd had a story this week, this probably wouldn't have happened, but... I hope you keep writing, dude, as you've got talent. Goodbye.

Week 8
Sunshine: *chants* FI-NAL NINE! FI-NAL NINE! You guys ready for your next challenge???

Oweguy: (conf)Yeah! Final nine! If I get to the final five I got this game in the bag!

Chimmy:Wow...final nine...I never thought I'd get this far...YAY!!!!!

CK11: *realizes he hasn't left yet* *leaves, starts to cry, slaps himself*

Tdirm:I really dodged a bullet last week, I'll never try to get a 1200 word story done in an hour again.

Sunshine: I did my final TDA2 story in a day... and it was two days before it was due... XD

Tdi: I think this is the farthest I have ever gotten! :)

TBTDIF: Whoa...I thought I'd be gone for sure. Goodbye, Cokeman! If you don't return, I'm sure you'll make it back next year. Yay! Final nine!

Chimmy:Well...this is the farthest I've ever gotten, but mainly because I haven't competed before. It's funny, it always seems that I have my story, or at least part of it, up first...

Sprinklemist: This is the farthest I've made it... As cohost.

Tdirm:Would a some serious sci-fi story set almost entirely in space fit the criteria?

Sprinklemist: Yes. I forgot to list where everyone's stories go. &gt;_&gt; I'll go do that.

Chimmy:Phew! Just made it! (I love my moral. XD)

Tdirm:Ugh, I hate my story this week.

Chimmy:Really? I think it's WAY better than mine!

TBTDIF: TDIRM, this is a bit belated, but Nirvana is grunge, not classic rock.

Challenge 8
This week's challenge is to use the Total Drama Island characters in a fantasy themed story. Your story can take place in space, in a land of dragons, it can be an original fairy tale, or whatever else you can think of to fit the criteria. We would like to see originality, creativity, believability in the characters, and good grammar and punctuation. Have fun with your story. It's due on Thursday.

Sprinklemist's Reviews (Writing Gophers)
Anonymos - This story was great. It had a lot of really funny parts in it. My favorite part was probably the two headed beast. The only error I saw was in the very first sentence "cried the a little girl", so good job with grammar and spelling. I have one lingering question, though... How could Duncan and Leshawna dance for an irritable ogre and live?

Tdi - A partially complete story. I like the straightforwardness of what's there. One of the rules of the challenge, though, was originality and creativity. The fairy tale option of the challenge has the word original in front of it. Your story is based on Cinderella, so it doesn't fit the criteria.

Chimchar - O_O The ending of this story was shocking. I loved the way that you immersed two familiar characters in a world not their own. I think this story was really well written, and the moral of the story was... Interesting. O_o One grammar mistake I noticed was, "spend all of their live working..." Only one tiny mistake when you've made none (that I've noticed) in such a long time, is very commendable. Great job with this story.

Cards777 - Your story was sweet, simple, and to the point. I really liked the dialogue between Katie and Geoff. Unfortunately, there were a lot of spelling mistakes. You also repeated a set of sentences twice in a row. I think the story could have been a little more creative.

Usitgz - This story was really good. I like the ideas you went with of having an anti-aging process only the elite could afford. That's pretty cool. I didn't notice any grammar mistakes, either. So, great job this week.

Sunshine's Reviews (Typing Bass)
Turnertang- Well, this was weird. But funny. I loved the beans randomly falling from the sky. Original and creative, and the random cameo by Dorothy, Toto, and the Cowardly Lion was hilarious. You had some minor errors, though, like the first sentence, “Where the heck m I?” instead of “Where the heck am I?”. You also had “your” instead of “you’re” in several places, “were” instead of “where” at one part and “lets” instead of “let’s” at a point. Other than that, good job!

TBTDIF- Another classic TBTDIF tragedy. This was amazing, original, creative, et cetera. Though I do wonder what kind of idiot let Chris pilot a spacecraft. I find myself constantly amazed and impressed at how well you write suspense and tragedy. The one thing that confused me was Chris calling Hatchet “John”. Overall, excellent!

Tdiandrockmusic2- Aliens who quest knowledge… of the music group Nirvana? That definitely lands you big points in the “creative” category. This was very original as well, I love the space-plane concept. The aliens learning English from the internet was hilarious. Heather seemed to be a perfect choice for the story as well. Excellent job overall!

Oweguy- Petrified food… that’s so Owen. This was pretty funny, though the fact that they ate Duncan weirded me out a little… I liked Courtney coming in at the end, though. However, “wolfs” isn’t a word, I don’t think, it’s “wolves”. Also, as with Tdi’s story, this was completely based off “the Three Little Pigs”, so it wasn’t original.

The Results
Sunshine: Sprinklemist and I have decided... the winning team is... THE TYPING BASS!!! Congrats, guys! Gophers... one of you will be going home tonight. Time to vote!

Gophers Vote
Who should be in the bottom two this week? Anonymos Tdi Chimchar Cards777 Usitgz

Sunshine: With four votes apiece, this week's bottom two is... Tdi and Usitgz.

Usitgz's Reason to Stay
I know that Tdi deserve to stay just as much as I do, but at least I posted a story. I also think, that being new to the team, is one of the main reasons I'm in this position. I also think it is from not speaking to much, so I'll try to do that, but I have to say, that I'm grounded from the computer for one month so I'm lucky to be able to post a story. So please don't choose me to go!

The Decision
Sunshine: This was a difficult decision... but in the end, Sprinklemist and I have decided that the person leaving Total Drama Author is... Tdi. Your writing during this contest has been great, but in the end your missing stories brought you down. Goodbye.

Week 9
Sunshine: Welcome, final eight! Or should I say... The Best Sellers! WELCOME TO THE MERGE!!!

Cards777:OMG!!!!!!!!!!! NO WAY!!!!! I made it to the merge!!!!!

Chimmy:Woah...the merge? I'd never thought I'd make it past week 1, let alone to the merge...I'm gonna have to really go all out! *pins on "I'm a Best Seller!" pin onto shirt* (XD)

Sunshine: I must say, all of you deserve it. You're all incredible authors. It's going to get harder and harder to eliminate one of you each week.

Oweguy: Final eight! I've got to do okay. I don't want to lose now.

TBTDIF: Wow...my third time in the merge. Something tells me I'll make it even further this time. *suddenly notices criteria* Oh, no! Humor!?

Chimmy:(CONF) So...*sudden realezation* Am I the only girl left in the competition? From what I remember, all the others are guys...oh, and if any of you ARE girls, major sorry!

Sunshine: Something tells me this is going to be a good week. XD

Tdirm:TBTDIF, I find this line somewhat insulting. One by one, the sixteen contestants RockSK8R, Tdafan123, Tdifan1234, NinjaIzzy, Dominator, Sorreltail18, COKEMAN11, Tdi, Tdiandrockmusic2, do Anonymos, Cards777, Thebiggesttdifan, Chimchar, Turnertang, Oweguy, and Usitgz perform on-screen, doing erotic dance moves until they finally form a pyramid, shout “TDA” and collaborate in writing the words “TOTAL DRAMA AUTHOR.” Well, it's probably because you don't know me, but I wouldn't do anything like that. Ever. If that happened, I'd kinda be the one on the side, trying not not to ne noticed, because I can't dance. Especially not like that O_O. Not to go on a total ego trip, but I'll describe me. I'm somewhat nerdy, HUGE Paramore fan, very shy, tends to switch between normal and kinda gloomy and depressed, A.K.A, I'm unique. What, my therapist said to be positive!

Tdirm: *finally realizes he's in the merge* NO INHUMANLY WAY!!! The merge! I didn't think I'd make it this far, due to being a threat (Just Kidding).

Usitgz (Conf.): Sweet, I made it to the merge, I'm lucky I didn't get booted last week!

Chimmy:Tdirm, I think so far, your writing for me is near perfect.

Tdirm: Gracias, Chimchar. Also, on a completely different note, am I the only one who thinks Myanmar sounds like a Pokemon?

Chimmy:IDK...

TBTDIF: If it helps, you can be the guy performing the ballad, TDIRM...

Tdirm:That would be cool, I acually play guitar. I'm sorry for kinda freaking out, it made me feel icky (XD I do not have potential to be a... I'll just give you a hint 1. They work on the undesirable part of town and 2. We thought Heather would be one after the show XD)

Chimmy:I'm wondering what Nalyd will do to the person with the best story...he made it seem positive, but I'm wondering if he'll eliminate the person who does the best...or something along those lines...

Tdirm: I know I'm portraying Nalyd as being somewhat evil, I'm sorry for that, it was just for comedic reasons, I doubt Nalyd is like that in real life.

Chimmy:I still can't get what Nalyd might do to me if I win off my mind...sorry...

Tdirm: Wait, when's this due? (Either a FAIL for me, or a FAIL for Sunshine/Sprinkle)

Chimmy:I'm pretty sure that unless stated otherwise, it's always due on Thursday...I'm not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure...

Oweguy: I wonder who's going to be voted off next?

Chimmy:You know what would be freaky? If my prediction for who's eliminated actually comes to be...

TBTDIF: Me drumming? Hmmmm...well, I guess everyone needs a bit of variety sometimes!

Tdirm: The chat section's pretty dead this week, so maybe this'll do something *takes airhorn, blares it 1 inch from Chimmy's ear, waits to be killed* (XD No offence meant Chimmy)

Chimmy:Wait-huh? Sorry, I can't hear right without my Shadow doll. *grabs random Shadow doll* So, what did you say? (XD)

TBTDIF: Hey, I just realized nobody here eliminated me in their story! THANKS GUYS!

Chimmy:*realizes she got immunity* Oh...my...gosh.....EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--*passes out due to excitement*

Tdirm: Thankks for not voting me guys, I wonder who'll return *crosses fingers and hopes for Tdifan*

TBTDIF: What reason does anyone have for voting for me this time?

Sunshine: It is the merge, around now people start trying to get rid of threats... or something... *shrugs*

TBTDIF: *sighs* What did I tell everyone? This is a CONTEST, not a COMPETITION. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET RID OF THREATS.

Sunshine: Well, no matter what the reason, you're in the bottom two, I'd write up a reason to stay if I were you.

TBTDIF: Hey, guys, wasn't it kind of weird looking at Sunshine's review of your story, which sounded just like her...and then at Sprinklemist's?

Chimmy:Yah...

Sunshine: *doesn't get it*

Chimmy:I don't get it much either...but your reviews sounded just like you, but IDK what he means about Sprink...

Sunshine: TBTDIF! AS EPIC PIXIE ADMIN OF EPIC RANDOMNESS, I DEMAND AN EXPLAINATION!!! (XD, JK, though an explaination would be nice...)

Nalyd: *plane lands, walks out* Hey everyone.

Chimmy:Hi, Nalyd!

Sunshine: Geez, Nalyd, you show up, like, every other week now... *whispers to Chimmy* Chimmy, if anything bad happens to you, it's partially my fault... sorry...

Chimmy:It's fine, Sunshine. Knowing him, I predict Cokeman will replace me...

Sunshine: I have no idea what he's planning, which has me very, very worried...

Chimmy:I hear you! For once, I hope I predict wrong...

Nalyd: Okay, I have some unfortunate news. As all of you know Sunshine's been hosting this season, and she just eliminated Usitgz... but people make mistakes so... we're not done yet people! You *points at Tdirm* and you *points at Anonymos* and you *points at Cards777* and you *points atTBTDIF* and you *points at Chimmy* and you *points at Turnertang* and you *points at Owenguy* and, no I didn't forget you! *points at Cokeman* All of you follow me... *walks back onto plane*

Chimmy:*heart pounding, follows Nalyd*

Sunshine: *herds contestants onto plane, also gets on, sits down in the corner and rocks back and forth* (XD)

Nalyd: *to pilot* Once around the Wiki. *all contestants sit down* I think I should point out now that your seats also function as a floatation device if for... some reason... you are forced off the plane... *dramatic music plays*

Chimmy:Uh-Oh...something tells me this is either gonna be really bad, or a Total Drama:The Musical spoiler...(XD, even in fear, I'm insane.)

Sunshine: Nalyd, I feel the need to point out that you're required by your contract to keep the contestants alive throughout the course of the competition...

Nalyd: Details... details... *plane keeps going* On your left, you'll see Playa des Authors. That's where not so good authors go... and unfortunately.... *planes lands back at TDA3* None of you are going there today! *laughs* Never before have I seen such a group of great authors. Sunshine, you know how to pick them. But I'd like to remind you all how close you are to the end, and how quickly that can be taken away... One missed story and... poof. The past ten weeks. For nothing. No pressure though, and good luck all of you!

Sunshine: ...so that's all you wanted to tell them? You kept me freaking out all day for that??? I've been telling them that for the past, like... ten weeks!!! *facepalms, mutters to self about how she shouldn't have signed that contract, and how she has to do this for the next seven weeks as well as next season* (XD)

Nalyd: Also, I'm flattered by all the stories about me. (LOL) Okay, I'm off. Later guys! I hope I didn't scare you all too badly...

Chimmy:...well, that made me feel better, Renrut...

Chimmy:(CONF) Fate has taken me far, up to this point, and I've realized that I'm a good author. From now on, I've gotta give it my all! I now want to make it to the final 5, at least...if I get eliminated before then, though, I'd have realized by then how lucky I was just to compete with these amazing peoples!

Sunshine: *shoves all the lawsuits from TDA3 authors' families over heart attacks and whatnot thanks to the event to Sprink's desk* *shifty eyes* (XD)

Chimmy:*continues to rant about her giving it her all, is eventually thrusted out by Billy the Intern XD* Wait--when did he get here? Anways...Sunshine, do you want a chocolate sundae? *eats her own*

Challenge 9
This week's challenge will be a little different... you'll be writing an episode of Total Drama Author 3! Pretending that this camp is a reality TV show like TDI/A, you'll be writing the episode "Author's Eight- Or Nine". The episode is at the final eight, and thanks to a lawsuit, an unexpected author joins the competition! (Which, by the way, is not actually happening. XD) Everything else in the episode is up to you. You'll be judged on creativity, originality, humor, and how well you translated this camp into a reality show competition. Good luck, Best Sellers! (Big thanks to Nalyd, who unwittingly gave me the idea for this challenge. XD)

Sunshine's Reviews
Tdiandrockmusic2- I really liked this one! The band challenge was great, Nalyd was, well, Nalyd, and I loved that one line about Heather. I really liked the theme song as well. Ravioli’s text was hilarious. “I’m pretty sure the last word’s nitwit.” The only problem was some very, very minor spelling/grammar issues. Great job this week!

Anonymos- Origami? That’s definitely a creative challenge idea. I want to make an origami Duncan now! I loved this story; it was hilarious, as to be expected with you! I loved Courtney’s accidental appearance, and Sunshine’s “I’m allergic to pale skin.” Just some very minor spelling issues. Excellent job!

Cards777- This one was really funny! I liked the idea of having to do a Nalyd Renrut song! The “revolving door” for Nalyd was pretty funny too. There weren’t really any spelling mistakes that I noticed either. However, I kind of wish you had gone into more detail with your story. It just seemed to be the bare essentials. Other than that, nice work!

TBTDIF- *shoves Gary away, shifty eyes* I kind of liked this one. The random references to TDI19 were funny, as well as seeming to say you still sort of have a grudge against him… (of course, that’s just how it came across to me.) The “battle of the bands” was cool, and I don’t care what everyone else thought, I loved tuba Owe. The story didn’t seem very humorous, however. Other than that, good job!

Chimmy- Can you say “full points for humor”? *wonders why Crushcrushcrush randomly played* I loved the random Sunny D cameo, Sunshine “reading” the ravioli, poor, sane Sprinklemist stuck in all this chaos, and psycho killer Nalyd! Sunshine trying to get Nalyd eliminated, the random double elimination, and poor Sunny D getting launched with the rocket was hilarious as well. Just a couple very minor (and obviously accidental) spelling errors. Excellent job!

Turnertang- Parts of this were kind of funny, like the challenge, and Nalyd falling from the sky in a box. Also, there weren’t any spelling or grammar issues that I noticed which is good. However, this story seemed kind of short and rushed. I really wish you had gone into more detail about the authors writing, reactions to Nalyd’s return, et cetera.

Oweguy- This was pretty funny. I loved Chef attacking the camera guy and Sprink being the Chef. The fact that everyone accidentally wrote “Ocean’s Eleven” was funny too. Nice job actually connecting the challenge to the name of the episode, too! However, like Turnertang, I wish you’d gone into just a little more detail during the story. Other than that, nice work!

Usitgz- First of all, let me start off by saying I loved Sunshine’s creepy “Duncan”. TBTDIF going “I’ve done this before, twice!” was funny too. Evil Renrut was great as well. The challenge was wonderfully random. However, there was a decent amount of spelling errors. Make sure to check those before you post!

Sprinklemist's Reviews
Tdiandrockmusic2 - I'm pretty impressed with your story this week. I knew you could write comedy, and you did so effectively. I enjoyed the GoGos jokes. Overall, good job. There were five spelling mistakes, but I don't feel like it's necessary to point them all out, because I think they were honest mistakes. Just keep an eye on that.

Anonymos - Everything about this story was funny, except for me. I loved the challenge idea, and Sunshine in Nalyd's hoodie, among other things. There were only two mistakes that I noticed, one being "Sprinklemist takes it and attempts to pry Sunshine from the Nalyd’s head." which I'm not positive is a mistake, but it's really funny. Really good job, overall.

Cards777 - I really liked your story this week. Great job. Everything made sense, and everyone was in character. The only problem I noticed was that you would put a period after a sentence before "this character said." An example; “It sounds like a jet engine.” Tdirm said. should be, "It sound like a jet engine," Tdirm said. With that being the only thing I can complain about, you did really well.

Thebiggesttdifan - Good story. You actually remembered my real name, and I liked being the brunt of jokes for once. I didn't notice any grammatical or spelling errors, so good job. I liked your references to the users. If there was one very slight complaint it would be that it seemed that some things were slightly negative, but not too bad. Overall good job.

Chimchar - This story was crazy... Extremely. You write Sunshine very well. The story overall was very funny. There were two errors that I noticed. You said "the way. the way." and said "the Writing Gopjers". While both errors were hilarious, they were still errors. Good job, overall.

Turnertang - Your story was pretty good this week. I think, though, that it was hard to follow at some points. You said are instead of our, at one point. You also put periods at the end of certain quoted statements, when a comma was necessary. Overall, I think the story was well done, though.

OwenGuy - Your story had some really funny moments, so good job in the humor department. I can't remember any mistakes with grammar, but you had a problem with punctuation, like some of the other contestants. You put a period at the end of quoted statements before saying 'said the camera guy' or whatever. I can see definite improvement in your writing, so I applaud you for that.

Usitgz - I think your story is even better than usual. There were some very funny moments, especially Sunshine creepily saying "Duncan" before flying away. The only negative I saw was a few spelling mistakes, you wrote "were" instead of "where" several times. I'm happy to see you improve, and I look forward to you continuing to progress.

The Results
Sunshine: The first decision for individual immunity was a tough one. All the stories were great, and keeps me convince that the people in front of me now are truly the right people for the Best Sellers. But, after some thought and discussion, Sprinklemist and I have decided that the first winner of individual immunity... is... '''CHIMMY!!! '''Congrats! *awaits inevitable Chimmy EEEE* The rest of you will be susceptable to elimination. Just like before, there will be a bottom two, then Sprink and I will decide who is out. Good luck, everyone!

Vote
Who should be in the bottom 2 this week? Tdiandrockmusic2 Anonymos Cards777 TBTDIF Turnertang Oweguy Usitgz

Sunshine: With 4 votes apiece, TBTDIF and Usitgz are the bottom two. Usitgz, this is your second time in the bottom two IN A ROW. TBTDIF, this is your third time here just this season. You may post your reasons to stay.

TBTDIF's Reason To Stay
Okay. I think I'm a pretty decent writer, and therefore to be honest, I can't quite understand why anyone voted me here. While I don't think I'll often win invincibility in challenges, I believe I can be good enough to overtake fourth, third, or even second place.

My main reason why I'm all panicky about being in the Bottom Two this week (well, anyone would be, but I'm really panicking) is because I've never gotten any further than halfway, technically. If you don't count the return in the original TDA, I was 5 out of 10th place. If you don't count the return and the three people voted out at the start of TDA2, I was 8th out of 16th place.

Here I am in the final 8 out of 16, encountering the same exact situation. While Usitgz is a good writer, I feel like I just need to move on one more time. Well, at least one more time.

The Decision
Sunshine: All right, guys... Sprinklemist and I have talked, and decided which one of these great authors will no longer be competing. TBTDIF... YOU'RE STAYING! Sorry, Usitgz, but ultimately your writing just wasn't enough. I'm impressed by your writing, though, and I truly hope you keep writing and improving. I hope to see you next season! Bye!

A Special Surprise
Sunshine: As some of you may know, this week our eight losers competed to return to the game. The lucky loser who has been chosen to return is none other than... COKEMAN11! Welcome back!!!

Week 10
Sunshine: Welcome, final... *counts* ...eight. Wow, last week was a waste of time... (XD)

Tdirm:(CONF) Wow, no one's used the confessional for a while. Anyway, it was probably Usitgz's time. I was hoping for Tdifan to make her triumphant return, but I'm glad to have Cokeman back.

Chimmy:*suddenly realized someone returned* Hey, Cokeman! Good to have you back! Wait-just to clarify, am I the only female left in the competition? I asked this before in the confessional, but never got an answer...

Sunshine: *not sure whether to assume Chimmy means just competitors or to be insulted that Chimmy doesn't think she's a girl* (XD)

Chimmy:*sudden realization* Oh, I mean competitors! Sorry for any misunderstandings!

CK11: *arrives in Eva format* *stares down TBTDIF* I have a letter from Tdafan for you. *hands letter to TBTDIF*

Sunshine: *grabs fire extinguisher, puts out flames in the background behind CK11*

TBTDIF: *worried* What's that?

Chimmy:*eats a chocolate sundae, oblivious to what is happening around her* (XD)

TBTDIF: Well, what does it say?

Sunshine: *leaves for a few minutes, comes back with Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender* What'd I miss? (XD)

Chimmy:OMG ZUKO LOOK! *epically pyros* Tee-hee!

Sunshine: *holds Zuko protectively away from Chimmy* YOU GET SHADII-KUN OR YOU GET ZU-ZU, BUT YOU DON'T GET BOTH, CHIMMY CHARIFIC!!! (XD) (Actually, ChimmyxZuko would be a pretty epic couple. PyroShipping!!! XD)

Chimmy:(XD...) I choose Shadow! Now if only he were here...

Sunshine: WOOHOO!!! That means I get Zu- *sees that Zuko ran away while she was distracted* ...zu... *shrugs, leaves for a few minutes, comes back with Meta Knight from the Kirby series* (LOL, some people wake up and decide what to wear, I wake up and decide who to obsess over XD)

Oweguy:(CONF) I'm surprised that COKEMAN11 came back. He was eliminated two weeks ago. I really think Rocky should've came back or NIzzy.

Tdirm:Wait, there's something I always wanted to do *arrives on island like Eva with the Carmina Burana playing. There, I'm better. I thhink I'll write my story on Courtney *Psycho violin plays at the very mention of Courtney's name* Okay, I'm a total violin magnet today.

Tdirm:Hey Chim, this should count for something *Gives Chimmy squirming Shadow, who is screaming and trying to escape Sunshine & Chimmy.*

Chimmy:*whispers*Shadow! Quick, I'll hide you from Sunshine!*runs with Shadow to random location, regular voice* Hi, Shadow!

Shadow:Hey. Just want to say you're doing awesome. Win this one for me!

Chimmy:OK, Shad!

CK11: (Conf) It doesn't look like Owe knew what went down at the loser's hotel. I submitted a story. I came back. Whoop-de-do.

CK11: *takes out flame thrower* Hm... Something's missing... *runs away, comes back with Silver form Pokemon and Silver from Sonic* TWINS, TWINS, TWINS, TWINS, TWINS

Chimmy:*bursts out laughing* I never noticed before...*continues breaking down from laughter*

Sunshine: They've got more in common than that! They're both somewhat attractive, and look like they lost a fight with a bottle of hairgel!!! (XD, TSI reference)

Cards: First of all, WELCOME BACK COKEMAN11!!! Second, that is my story under Cards777's Story, I am on a different computer so I am logged in.

Tdirm: Ok, who agrees that Harold is a total snob?

TBTDIF: Ohcrapohcrapoh...I'm in BIIIIIIIIIIIIG trouble if I can't finish my story...

Tdirm: Okay, I take it you're all Harold fans. Why does everybody target TBTDIF?

Sprinklemist: He said something last season that offended some, he apologized, and everyone else can't forgive and forget.

Challenge 10
The challenge is slightly early, but it's practically Sunday (challenges are supposed to be posted on Sundays, right?). Anyway, here is your challenge. Write a story written from the perspective of one of the twenty-two contestants of Total Drama Island. The story needs to be written as if it were a school essay with the theme "How I Spent my Summer Vacation", specifically written about the summer of Total Drama Island. The stories will be judged on how accurately the chosen character is depicted, if it fits in with some of the events of their time on the show (at least from the character's perspective. Unseen aspects can be added as long as they make sense), and the dreaded grammar and spelling. The challenge will be due by Thursday.

Tdiandrockmusic2's Story
How I Spent My Summer Vacation, by Harold McGrady

As all of you classmates know, I was on the reality show hit, Total Drama Island. I’m sure all of you watched it so I could demonstrate my mad skills, which are so mad; you are barely able to see them without permanent brain damage. Nevertheless, all of you “cool people” still say I’m a nerd. GOSH!!! Well, at least you’ll be working for me in 10 years. Anyways, you all know what happened while I was on the actual show; especially what happened at the jet-ski race, it’s more important that you learn what happened while I was at Playa del Losers. Basically, all I did there though was arrive and hide from Courtney the Crazy She-Wolf. She was all, “I’m completely innocent, you had no reason to vote me off!”. Well, I was just playing the game, even if I really just wanted Duncan to suffer. It was mostly just her hunting me down with something sharp or heavy, but there was one moment worth telling you. It went like this, I scurried across the dark pool area. It was two nights after my elimination, and Courtney wanted blood. She found me, but she didn’t seem like she wanted to attack me.

“Harold,” she said, “I think we both deserve apologies from each other. I’m really…” I cut her off before she could continue her blatant lie.

“Yeah right, you just don’t want to risk me pulling off my MAD SKILLS on you! You don’t mean anything, you know no emotions except anger and that oh-so-apparent competitive drive. You get what you deserve, by ever liking that worthless punk Duncan.”

Her actual personality then came out,

“Ugh, I knew I shouldn’t have tried. I want to forgive you Harold, but I can’t to someone who wishes me ill! Goodnight Harold!”

I knew I had defeated Courtney, or at least for tonight. I went to sleep, having dreams of losing the competition to Owen, the person I least expected to win. Then, the next day, I woke up and went down to the buffet to find Courtney growling at me with a knife. That’s when my true misery began. But I persevered, and survived with my sanity and my health. Anyways, that was my summer, and I don’t regret anything, because I knew it was a good decision to boot her off. Then again, she should realize that I was just playing the game, just like her. Now I deserve an A after what I've been through, so I'm waiting...

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

So here’s what I did this summer…

Well, I came to this summer camp with my BFFFFL, Katie, and it was, like, so much fun!! So first, we got there and everyone totally wanted to be our friends, and we were like, yeah! Because who doesn’t love more friends? Well, everyone was super nice, except for this girl named Heather! She was so creepy!! Oh, and don’t even get me started on Duncan!! His piercings were totally not as cute as ours! Well, anyway, we got with everyone for a picture and the dock broke!! How funny is that? Well, it wasn’t that funny because we all fell in and we almost drowned. Anyway, we dried off and we were assigned our teams! Me and Katie were not together!!! It was heartbreaking!!!!

So we got our first challenge and it was totally scary!! So we had to, like, jump off of this cliff into shark infested waters!! I wouldn’t jump without Katie, so this super nice girl named Izzy switched teams with her, and we went down and we lived!!! How awesome is that? Anyway, the Killer Bass (our team) lost the first challenge!! Well, we had to go to this campfire and we got marshmallows to know that we were safe. Me and Katie both were!! We were so happy!! And this weirdo named Ezekiel got out because he was really mean to girls.

The next day we had to stay awake for as long as we could, and me and Katie fell asleep at the exact same time!! We lasted like thirty hours or something, which is pretty good, I guess. Well, we lost again, and some psycho named Eva was sent home because she destroyed our cabin!

On day three, we played dodgeball. It was the most PAINFUL game ever!! Never play it! EVER!! I got hit in the face like fifty million times!!! But we won our first challenge!! We were so happy!!! This guy named Harold (he’s kind of a geek, but don’t tell him I said that!) won it for us!

The next day was our talent show!! Me and Katie were super talented, but Courtney (bossy!) wouldn’t let us be in it!! We danced so beautifully!! It was not fair!!!! During the talent show, Bridgette (she’s super nice!) got sick and threw up on everyone!! Even on us!!! But then, Harold won the challenge again!!! We were safe!!!

Then came the worst day of my life. Well, our challenge was to spend a night in the woods, and so we went in the woods and me and Katie lost the rest of the team because we were eating blueberries (so yummy!). Well, we got into this huge fight because Katie got us lost!! I got so mad about it that I brought up the snack shack (I’m so sorry, Katie!!)! So, it started to rain, and we had to hide in a cave, but then this bear came and got all mad at us for being in his house! We had to run for it, and then we came back to camp and Courtney and the team got super mad (and I thought the bear was mad) just because we lost the challenge! It wasn’t a big deal… Courtney and Duncan both cost us challenges, but did we vote them off when that happened? NO! So, the team goes and votes off Katie!! It was so so so so so so sooooo sad!!!

The night of that day was when the Screaming Gophers (the other team) brought us some leftover dessert from their party for winning the challenge, and we all got into a huge sharefest about our deepest fears (heavy!)! So I said mine was bad haircuts, and this girl named Lindsay (super nice!) agreed. Then, the challenge was facing our fears!! It’s like the knew what we were saying! Well, me and Lindsay both had to wear these wigs (disgusting!) for the whole day and we did it!! Well, Courtney lost us the challenge (again!) but Tyler (he was okay) got sent home.

So the next day we had to do this canoe race thingie. I went in a canoe with that meanie Duncan, and geek-ish Harold. It took forever for us to get to the other island!! We came to this fork in the road, and we went to the right. Well then Geoff (he was so fun!) tripped and sprained his ankle!! I felt so bad for him!! Well, anyway we got our fire lit (Harold used our paddles for firewood…), and then it was a race back, and since we had no paddles, DJ (super nice!) pushed us all the way back and we won!!

Well, the next day we had our paintball challenge! I had to be a deer, which was horrible!!! I had to run around, and try to avoid all of the Screaming Gopher’s (the other team’s) hunters!! It was super scary!! I ran all around the forest, and didn’t get shot once!! I guess I’m pretty sneaky!! We won again!!!

The next day we had our cooking challenge!! I am a super good cook, but Geoff got to be head chef, which was okay. So me and Harold made our antipasto and Chris gave it a 9/10 points!! I guess I was a pretty good cook!! And guess what? We won for the bajillionth time in a row!!!

So in the morning, the girls were woken up a little early by DJ, Duncan and Geoff, who told us to go swimming! I love to swim (just like Katie!) so of course I did it!! Then the Bass boys brought over Harold (he was naked!) and made him apologize for leaving his undies around their cabin (EW!)! Then we had our trust challenge. Things were going pretty well for the Bass (we were tied) until the last challenge. I was in the first part of the last challenge. I had to shoot apples at Courtney to knock an apple off of her head! I couldn’t here Chris when he told me that I lost, so he had to shake me!! Courtney told me that I was going down, but I didn’t believe her. In the end we lost (oh well!). Anyway, at the campfire ceremony I got voted out! Courtney was right!! I bet she’s a psychic. Anyway, guess who was waiting for me? KATIE!!! I was so happy!!

Well, in the end of the season it turned out that Owen (super nice!) won the whole thing!! He threw us all a party (so fun!)!

So that’s how I spent my summer.

How I spent my Summer Vacation

By Heather Joneseys

 

First of all, let me say my summer sucked! It was horrible! I signed up for this reality show called Total Drama Island. I packed my bags, and I was picked up by a cab, and was dropped off by a boat. I boarded the boat and arrived at Camp Wawanakwa. I was greeted by the host, Chris Mclean. I hate him! Then this loser, Tyler, came and he was riding on jet skis. He wiped out and he got me wet when he splashed in the water.

I was then put on the Screaming Gophers. We ate lunch, and were given the first part of the first challenge, to jump off of a 1000 foot cliff! The other team, the Killer Bass, jumped first. There was no way I was jumping! So this girl, Leshawna, threw me off of the cliff! We won the first part of the challenge, so we got an advantage. For the second part of the challenge, we had to build a hot tub. We won.

Then the next day we had to run about twenty kilometers. Then we had to eat a huge buffet. Then we got the actual challenge: the Awake-a-thon. We had to stay awake as long as we could. I made an alliance with Lindsay and Beth. Then Eva, who has anger problems, dropped her MP3 Player, and I stole it. We won the challenge, again. When Eva couldn’t find her MP3 Player, she freaked out! She got herself voted off.

The next challenge, we had to play a game of dodgeball. We lost, and Noah was sent home. After that, Justin, Katie, Tyler, Izzy, and Cody were eliminated. Then Beth, who shot me with a paintball gun, was sent home. Soon followed by Sadie, Courtney, and Harold.

Then I made it to the merge, we had to eat Chef’s disgusting food. It was a battle of the sexes. The boys won and got a spa treatment. The Izzy and Eva returned. The next challenge was torture! I was eliminated because I couldn’t eat a slug. Leshawna won invincibility and Eva was eliminated again.

The next challenge, I had to get a key from Chef’s refrigerator. I won invincibility, and I kissed Trent, Gwen’s boyfriend. Trent was eliminated. He was followed by Bridgette, Lindsay, and DJ.

Then I had to get a bear in a cage without harming it. However, Izzy accidentally shot me with a tranquilizer dart, so she was voted off. Then Geoff was eliminated for being so nice. Then, the losers voted off Leshawna. Finally she was gone! I had a party, by myself, to celebrate her elimination.

The next day, our cabins were flooded, and they drifted out into the lake. I thought it was a challenge, but Gwen and Duncan didn’t think so. No one was eliminated in that episode. Then, it was the final four. It was a battle of the sexes. It was Gwen and I verses Owen and Duncan. We had to find our way back to camp. We had trouble at first. Then we tricked the boys into “keeping us safe.” Gwen and I woke up before them, took their supplies, and headed back to camp. We won. Duncan was eliminated.

The next challenge was the worst of my life! It was a game of spin the bottle. However, when you spin the bottle, it would land on a contestant’s face, and Chris would read their dare. I had to lick Owen’s armpit, eat jelly out of his bellybutton, wrestle an alligator, kiss Chef’s dirty sock, and more excruciatingly, worse things! However, it was Lindsay’s dare that got me eliminated, I had to get my hair shaved by Chef! I wasn’t sure what to do, so Chef was about to shave my head when I kicked the electric razor. It flew up, and shaved my head! I got eliminated because I didn’t accept the dare. I walked the Dock of Shame, and boarded the Boat of Losers.

I arrived at this place called Playa De Losers. No one would talk to me! But, it was okay because I didn’t want to talk them losers anyway!

The next day, we were taken back to Camp Wawanakwa, and Gwen laughed at my new wig. We were told to choose which person to support: Owen or Gwen. I supported Owen, of course, because I hate Gwen! Anyway, more than half of the people supported Owen because he said he throw an awesome party! I sabotaged Gwen by giving her a cupcake with a laxative in it. However, Owen ate it. In the end, Owen won when Izzy taunted him with the smell of brownies. Then the boys threw Chris into the lake. It was kind of funny. But, overall, my summer sucked!

P.S. Mrs. Hocker,

Just give me an A plus because remember the grading while driving incident? Well, if you don't, I do! So, if you don't want that to spread around school, give me an A plus! Just think about it.

How I spent My Summer By Izzy

Well first I was on some reality show were I got out but returned and then go out again but thats only the beginning of my summer. Later my friends the RCMP caught up with me and I we had a lttle run but the lost me in the middle of the woods. In the woods I met some beavers and they let me stay in their dam until I blew it up with some dynamite I found. I decided to go back to the real word so I snuck into some house and the lady was real scared to see me. So next I went to the Grand Canyon. I grabbed a skateboard and skated down it and broke a couple bones but I didn't want to see any doctors because I didn't want to waste any time. Then I had this idea to go paragliding. So while I was in the air the RCMP found me and was shooting me so I jumped onto the plane and had to fight all them but I got shot with some dart and when i woke up I was in some cage. SO i took out some gun in my pocket and shot the guard and took his keys and ran away, Then I realized summer was almost over so I went on a plane and flew to Hawaii. Then I made a to do list. First, Climb a volcano and parachute down from it, second go scuba diving a wrestle a shark, and find some guy and pull his pants down. So first I took a tour up a volcano but ditched the tour and climbed up all the way. When I jumped off I realized I had no parachute but luckily I landed on some guy. I felt bad for him so a I went to visit him but he called the cops so I had to flee. Then I bought some scuba gear went under water but I couldn't find any shark so I had to fight a giant squid but it just wasn't the same. Finally, I had to pull some guys pants down so i found this guy and pulled his pants down. It turns out he was the same guy I fell on so I had to run away from the RCMP once again. Finally, I got back to my house where my parents grounded me for leaving the house for months. So to get back at them I blew up my house. Anyways, that was one of the most boring summers ever. It was nothing like my trip to Los Angeles. I think Adam Andler is still after me but who knows.

The End

Thebiggesttdifan's Story
How was my summer, you ask? Well, awesome, if you’re specifically talking about the first two weeks. During those first two weeks I spent sleeping, eating, and mastering video games in a dim basement, totally absent to the outside world.

Ah. That was paradise.

The other eight weeks really pissed me off. Near the end of the school year, I had auditioned for a show called Total Drama Island. It was just as a joke, as a way to tick Joey off for finding a loophole to his dare to get noticed by a bunch of big producers. Oh, I’m sure he expected me to go to Nickelodeon Studios and sit face-to-face with Stephen Hillenburg or Butch Hartman or someone and interview them, but being the child genius I am, I found a loophole. On second thought, Joey probably thought that I was gonna decline the dare, like I do for baseball in gym class all the time. But I like dares. It makes it even more fun to see people get mad when I actually find a loophole through the wackiest ones.

Anyway, turns out that little audition thing wasn’t really a joke after all. After the second week of summer, some guy named Mark sent me this letter back that said they liked my personality, and they wanted to accept me on the show. I had no choice but to fill out the paperwork. Otherwise Joey wouldn’t be mad anymore. A few days later, a huge limo screeched up to my house. I asked the African-American driver what the hell he was doing here, but he just said, “Are you Noah Kolaski?”

“Yeah,” I answered emotionlessly.

“Then come on in, boy.” The driver grinned, but the form of the smile looked more evil than friendly. After a few hours of driving, we came to a giant lake. I tumbled out, expecting to see a dock and a bunch of people, which Mark had described as my stopping point. But there was none. In a few minutes the driver got out with, and a giant but rugged and old cruise ship blasted over to where we were.

“Why do you keep following me?” I asked the driver. “Aren’t I supposed to get there myself?”

Driver Man had that grin on his face again. “Don’t you got any brains, boy?”

“Agh!” I yelped. “Stop pounding me with these abstract riddles!” Driver Man was really starting to get on my nerves.

We got on the giant ship. I found out that not only did it look bad, it also smelled like car exhaust and to top off everything else, it was completely barren. No people, no food, no machines, no nothing. Great. Now I had to spend an already-bad cruise with just a guy who made me uncomfortable.

I only felt better when the engine started roaring. For what the thing lacked in appearance it had in speed. The thing roared across the sea, and since I was smart enough to choose a side protected by the roof, I didn’t get splashed by the giant waves that came up every time we roared to a stop. Driver Man did, however. It was thrilling to see him in his soggy white suit and shivering, like a huge furless polar bear. I couldn’t help but laugh.

Because of the incredible speed, the cruise was over in about an hour. I expected at least a nice place as a generosity, but we didn’t even get THAT. I looked at the host and decided it was probably him who I should blame. With his ragged clothes, short hair, and teeth with a slight yellowish tint, he definitely didn’t look like anyone I would like.

The other cast members made me sad, too. I made a snide remark about some delinquent’s “cute” piercings, expecting him to punch me in the face, but he just grabbed my lip and let me down when I asked him. Is that jacked up or what?

We got assigned our first challenge after that, which was to jump off a 1,000 foot cliff. (Don’t believe me, Ms. Daniels? Look at its webpage.) I almost chickened out, but seeing as if I did our team would lose the challenge and thus vote me off, I jumped off the cliff. I’m pretty sure I would’ve actually smiled happily if 300 pounds of fat had just piled into the water. I got catapulted out by the splash and ended up in a lifeboat near the edge of the water. Turns out the three hundred pounds were really a guy named Owen. We managed to win the second part of the first challenge, which I was very thankful for. On my way to throw my “food” out, there was a guy over at the opposite team’s table who must’ve said something that made his teammates mad, because a girl ended up strangling him. I think it was him who was eliminated…nah, it must’ve been the girl.

The second challenge day was really uneventful. I think it was that we had to sit down on a log all day, but I can’t remember because I fell asleep during the challenge. Some punk from our team won it again, lucky me, and it must’ve been that talkative hick that got strangled three days ago who got axed. The third challenge was fit for me. I mean, well, not fit for me at all. I have tons of practice at coming up with excuses for me to sit out in gym class, and this was no different. Just a tiny bit of smooth talk and soon I wasn’t even paying attention to the dodgeball game going on. However, when that dweeb started doing his little matrix moves, I HAD to pay attention. It was just so entirely cool.

The suckiest part was that the dork succeeded in his little matrix routine and we lost. And you know what? I don’t know how, but somehow I got kicked. For sitting out! Hello? I couldn’t do anything on the court anyway.

So…that was my summer, basically, if you don’t count the lounging and leaning I did in Loserville. What? Nerds have uneventful summers.

ChimChar's Story
How I Spent my Summer Vacation, by Heather Davies.

How was my summer, you ask? Simple. The worst one of my life. And why would any summer be bad? Any summer can be ruined when you’re spending it on a reality show with a fart machine, a weird goth girl, a vandal, a total loudmouth, a party boy, a psycho hose beast, a total softie, a girl who’s as dumb as a post, a surfer chick, a music freak, an anger management freak, a nerd-wad, a stuck up CIT, two BFFFLs who sounded like dolphins, a nerdy girl, a tech geek who thinks he’s cool, a no-skill jock, a hottie, (who might have been the only one there who wasn’t as horrid as the others.) a bookworm, and a homeschooled sexist. Ug. The torture the sadistic host prepared for us every 3 days is still fresh in my mind. First of all, the food. I would have rather eaten roadkill, which was once the chef’s daily special for a whole week. And if you think just living with those freakshows I mentioned earlier would be difficult, imagine having to do challenges thought up by the freakish host! Half the time, I was considering suicide! And if that wasn’t enough, I had to be paired up with 11 of those freaks until the merge! Of those 11, I was able to make an alliance with two of them. Lindsay, the dumb blonde, and Beth, the nerdy girl. Of course, as all freakshows go, they both eventually rebelled against my perfect leadership. Lindsay even swore at me! Now, where was I? Oh ya, back to the challenges. Not only were they life-threatening and suckish, they were just plain gross! I did get to pull a prank on the weird goth girl once, though…but later in the same challenge, I got stung multiple times by overeager jellyfish!Some other crappy things that happened include weird goth girl putting red ants in my bed, burning my eyebrows off, and being locked in the freezer, thanks to Lindsay, that traitor. But the worst thing of all to happen…I was in the final 3. Chris, the sadistic host, was having us do dares thought up by the losers. It was complete torture. Owen, the fart machine, and Gwen, the weird goth girl totally ganged up on me! ME! Whatever grudge they had against me, I didn’t know, but I was forced to endure complete madness. I somehow managed to survive, until they spun Lindsay’s dare. I didn’t think much of it at first. I mean, what could LINDSAY come up with that was scary. But once I heard the dare, I nearly passed out. I had to have my head shaved by the chef! I was hesitant at first. Did I dare to trade my lustrous hair for 100,000 dollars? Just as the razor was about to snip off every precious lock of my hair, my leg shot up, kicking the razor out of the chef’s hand. However, I temporarily forgot the law of gravity. The razor zoomed back down, directly towards my hair. I fell to the floor, the razor ripping away at my wonderful tresses, until all of my hair was gone, except for some loose ends. As the host declared me out of the contest, I screamed louder than humanly possible. I returned to the island the next day, though, as Owen and Gwen battled for the cash. I supported Owen, for I had sabotaged Gwen the other day. But enough of the challenges, let’s just say that Owen won. As you can see, my summer was torture only those freakshows could come out of alive. And, of course, myself, who is perfect in every aspect. Except my hair, which I WILL get revenge on Lindsay for. But overall, this summer sucked. Big time. Now give me an A already!

Oweguy's Story
How I Spent my Summer Vacation (By Owen)

How I spent my summer? It was totally awesome! I got signed up for this show called Total Drama Island and it was hosted by this guy named Chris Mclean. When I got there I gave him a big hug. There were a bunch of people there who thought I was an awesome guy. After I got there I met Courtney, Justin, and Izzy. I thought Courtney was nice at first but she seemed mean later. Justin was incredible and Izzy was some crazy gal. That’s why I like her now. Later I got put on the Screaming Gophers team which I thought was a pretty cool name. The other team was called The Killer Bass and the nerdy guy Harold thought it was a good name. We got settled later and Chris told us our first challenge was going to begin. I personally freaked out when we found out about the challenge.

Well the good news was that I luckily made my team win the first half and we got carts to carry our boxes to build a hot tub. The bass team didn’t do well on that and they loss. My team won and I did a victory dance naked. By the way, remember Izzy who I thought was awesome? Well she was on the other team at first. This girl named Katie wanted to be with her friend Sadie so Izzy switched with her. I thought that was nice.

On day two we did a challenge called the awake -a-thon where we had to stay up the longest. Unfortunately, I was the first one out. Also I ate the entire baked beans they served to make us more tired and the thing about baked beans? They make me sleep walk. I took my clothes off as well and I started wandering for a long time. I don’t know how I got back. I was asleep for a long time. My team won again because my teammate Gwen who’s this Goth girl stayed up the longest. I couldn’t believe she stayed up that long but that’s amazing.

Things got a bit rocky by day three. It was a dodge ball challenge and we were doing perfectly. We won two out of three rounds and then the bass started gaining up and won the next two rounds. At the end it was me against Harold and surprisingly, he got me out so the bass won the challenge. Luckily I got the first marshmallow so I was safe. It was this brainy guy named Noah who got eliminated because he wouldn’t help us with the challenge.

The weeks past and I saw nine contestants leave the island. I was now in the final ten and there was no vote off. The challenge was for a reward and it was a battle against the sexes. We had to eat a bunch of gross foods which I thought was yuck but some were pretty delicious. I really wanted more of the second course which was grasshopper pizza with jellyfish sauce and anchovies but the party guy Geoff said everyone needed to have one slice. I did wait for them. Course four was disgusting. It was fresh bunion soup with hangnail crackers. We boys couldn’t stomach it but the girls used skill to eat it. We passed eight courses and we got to the end which was dolphin wieners but Bridgette and DJ refused to eat it so Chris did a tie breaker with me and LeShawna. It was blended cockroaches and guess what? I drank more than LeShanwa did and the boys won. But then LeShawna puked everywhere and it lead to a puke fest. I luckily held it in and we went to a fancy resort for the weekend.

It was now the merge and I saw seven people leave the island. I got to the final five and felt I was going to win. Surprisingly LeShawna got voted off by the losers and it was now the final four. A sudden storm washed us away from the island. I got the farthest away from all of them and I befriended a coconut. I called him Mr. Coconut. We got found and my poor coconut friend was eliminated. I cried about it for a little bit. But then some awful thing happened. If you thought getting lost on a deserted island was bad, guess what? The next day, we all woke up in the woods, far from the camp. Chris was gone so his assistant Chef Hatchet was in charge. Me and Duncan almost won but Chef made sticky buns so I ate them and Heather and Gwen won. Duncan got voted off because Chef did not like him.

It was now the semi-finals and Chris did do anything with the challenge. The losers did. Heather had to lick my armpit and suck jelly out of my belly button. She was also going to lick my toe jam but she didn’t do it. It would’ve been gross. The good news was that Heather finally got eliminated and me an Gwen got to the final two. How she got eliminated was that she wouldn’t get her hair shaved but she got It shaved anyway. Everyone came back to watch me and Gwen compete and I had a little trouble. It took me a while to climb up the poll to get a flag and cross a cliff on a board but a little while after that, I had a little tummy trouble because I ate a muffin with laxative in it. It was a trick by Heather and it was for Gwen but I ate it because it looked tasty. It looked like I was going to lose because Gwen was ahead but I smelt brownies and guess what? I won! I was the grand winner and I won one hundred thousand dollars. I was very happy and so was everyone else. In the end, we all dumped Chris in the lake and that’s how I spent my summer. I had an awesome time and made a lot of friends.

Cokeman11's Story
How I Spent My Summer (by Courtney)

My summer was not as I expected. I signed up for a reality show, Total Drama Island. I got in. No surprise there. Other than me, there was a delinquent, a fat guy, a goth girl, a queen bee, sexist kid, no-skill jock, psycho girl, surfer girl, music lover, party lover, a girl with anger issues, a nerd, a bookworm, a wannabe, a guy who everyone thought was hot, a girl with an attitude, a gentle yet tough guy, two girls who are SUPER annoying, a self-proclaimed ladies man, and a dumb blonde. Not the people who I needed to spend a summer with.

My first day there, and Owen (who, by the way, is the fat guy) and I had a tiny, tiny interaction. Nothing more than that. I was put on the Killer Bass team. Anyway, our first “challenge” was to jump off a cliff. I have a medical condition, so I wasn’t able to jump. “It’s a calculated risk.” I said, but I was wrong. I thought that we would still win. But we lost. I took charge in part two, making a hot tub. We still lost, and I was almost voted off! Those idiots! I was a C.I.T! How appalling. Lucky for me, sexist kid Ezekiel took the boat home.

The next thing was an “awake-a-thon” where we had to stay awake. Queen bee Heather took away an MP3 player from anger issues girl Eva. Then we lost. Eva rampaged, so we sent her back home. Then we won our first challenge, dodgeball. They sent bookworm Noah away. Then came a talent show, where surfer girl Bridgette almost gave me a concussion. We still won, even without my talents. They sent so-called hot guy Justin away. We lost another challenge when we went camping. We sent home Katie, one of the two best friends. Another challenge was lost for us in the phobia conquering challenge. That no-skill guy I mentioned before? Yeah. He’s a Total Drama IDIOT. His fear is chickens. CHICKENS! I failed to conquer my fear of green jelly. So, again, I was almost sent off. Idiots. Chickens are PATHETIC. So, goodbye, no-skill Tyler. As if my life wasn't horrible enough, we went canoeing to a "cursed" island. Something that the cameras never caught was me riding on a Woolly Beaver. No one noticed me slip away. When we got to the other end of the island, we had to build a fire. I thought we'd win for sure. But, Harold (the nerd) threw our paddles into the fire. Izzy (psycho) made some sap ball and made a giant fire. When all hope was gone, Izzy commented that she was on a ship that broke down and that she had to push the boat to shore with some other passengers. That gave DJ an idea. He pushed up back to camp, and we won! They sent Miss Psycho home.

I felt like our winning streak would end, right then and there. We had a paintball challenge. I was a deer, and the Screaming Gophers were in charge of hunting Bass deer down. Then, the worst thing happened. My antlers got tangled with Mr. Delinquent Duncan. We were stuck like that for what felt like ever. Meanwhile, Cody, the so-called ladies man, got mauled. But we won, and Cody left. Could we keep our winning streak? Yes.

I saw Beth, the wannabe, and Sadie, the other best friend, walk the dock of shame. Then…something HORRIBLE occurred. Little dumb nerd Harold rigged the votes to get back at Duncan during the bootcamp challenge. So I was gone. But not before I shared a kiss with Duncan, that hot little dangerous delinquent. Moving on. Harold went down right after me. Karma really exists, I guess. It turns out that when you get voted off, you don’t go home, you go to a hotel. I saw the rest of the contestants arrive here until it came down to Gwen, goth girl, and Owen, fat guy in a few athletic challenges. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Gwen will win. Well, WRONG! Gwen got between Owen and a brownie and lost. So that’s my horrible summer.

Sunshine's Reviews
Tdiandrockmusic2- Well, this definitely sounded like Harold… nice work with this! I loved the “cool people” line, and of course the well-known “mad skills” rants we’ve come to know and love. The part with him not thinking Owen could win was funny too. Nice work!

Anonymos- I really liked this! It was funny that it was really written like something Sadie would say, with all the “like”s and “totally”s and exclamation points. It ended up really sounding like her, too. I wish you’d spent some time talking about her stay at Playa des Losers, though. Good job overall!

Cards777- I loved the beginning and end of this. It seemed very Heather! The rest of it, however, seemed just like a summary of random parts of the show. I wish it had been described in a way that would better show Heather’s personality. There were also a couple spelling and grammar issues, but nothing too major.

Turnertang- Holy… ravioli… this is SO Izzy. The entire story was hilarious!!! I feel sorry for that poor guy she kept accidentally abusing. I loved the part about her blowing up her house to get back at her parents. Unfortunately, your story this week was filled with spelling and grammar mistakes. Make sure to double check for mistakes before you post your story, okay?

TBTDIF- Well, this seemed very Noah… I liked how you explained how he actually ended up getting on TDI, and that one line about nerds having uneventful summers. I thought it was funny how he didn’t even bother to check who was eliminated from the other team, too. Good spelling and grammar as usual. Nice job!

Chimmy- I liked this one a lot! It was nice to see you summarize the entire competition rather than describe single episodes one by one. Heather’s personality really came through too; I liked how she barely bothered to use anyone’s actual names. It seems very Heather to act like none of the things that happened were do to any wrongs done by her, too. The last line, “now give me an A already!”, also cracks me up. I didn’t notice any spelling/grammar issues either. Great job!

Oweguy- I feel like Owen’s personality really came through in this. I love how almost everything came through in a very positive light, as is typical of Owen. However, it was kind of confusing towards the end because you covered the first few challenges in detail, then skipped a bunch of weeks. I feel like it would have been better if you’d described all the challenges equally or summarized everything into a whole.

COKEMAN11- Welcome back! This seemed very Courtney-ish in parts, but in other parts it just seemed like descriptions of the challenges. Also, like Owe, I wish you’d been more equal in describing the challenges. There weren’t any spelling or grammar issues that I noticed, though, so good job with that!

Sprinklemist's Reviews
Tdiandrockmusic2 - This story was too funny. Really good job. You actually wrote Harold well, and everything made sense. Only one missing comma with "Goodnight Harold," but really good job with grammar and spelling.

Anonymos - This story is so funny. The random adjectives inserted after certain things was a nice touch, and your use of hyperbole and exclamation points really fit Sadie. Great job writing for her. Only a couple spelling mistakes, like "the" instead of "they", and one more that I can't remember... Anyway, great job, overall.

Cards777 - You did really well with grammar and punctuation only saying ""he" instead of "he'd". The story described Heather's time on the show, but I wish it was a little more evident that Heather was the one writing the essay. Her personality could have been injected a little more. I really loved the last line about Heather blackmailing her teacher into giving her an A. I wish that kind of Heatherness was throughout the story.

Turnertang - This story was very funny, and very random. I liked the fact that it explained Izzy's time after being chased away by the RCMP. There's no way the one grading the paper would ever believe it... If it did happen. That matches Izzy, really well. There was a problem, though, with spelling and capitalization. Work on checking those, as there were a handful of mistakes.

Thebiggesttdifan - I liked the perspective from Noah, I just wish it was a little more obvious that it was Noah's perspective from the writing. The first paragraph was a little mixed up. In the last sentence in it, you said "spent" when it should have been "was", or the sentence should have been written in a different order. And there was one other spelling mistake, but I don't think the errors were so bad, as you had a longer story. One thing that seemed out of character was Noah calling himself a nerd. Overall, the story was written well and pretty good.

Chimchar - You really wrote from Heather's perspective well. I liked the way you had Heather labeling the characters with her own labels instead of the actual ones, for the most part. I really liked the story, and it was entirely believable. I wish you had put it in more paragraphs, but that's all I can complain about. Great job.

OwenGuy - You described the events in Owen's stay fairly well. You made quite a few grammar mistakes, and the time line was messed up as you mentioned the challenges being every day, when they were actually every three days. I wish that the story felt more like Owen later on in the story, it seemed like there was a disconnect from the first paragraph. An example is Owen talking about the sticky bun. If he mentioned how delicious it was, it would make it sound more like Owen, instead of just a factual statement.

Cokeman11 - I thought you wrote your story well, but there were certain things in the story that Courtney would have had more of an opinion on, like Sadie's elimination. Other things that seemed less important to her storyline on the show, like DJ pushing the canoes back to Total Drama Island got mentioned in detail. Only one spelling mistake that I can remember. The story wasn't bad, but I wish it had more of a Courtney feel throughout the whole story.

The Results
Sunshine: First of all, big thanks to everyone for finishing their stories this week. All of your stories were really good this time around, worthy of the Best Sellers! But only one has earned invincibility, and this one is... ANONYMOS!!! Great job, you derserve it! The rest of you are up for elimination... good luck to you all.

Vote
Who should be in the bottom two this week? Tdiandrockmusic2 Cards777 Turnertang Thebiggesttdifan Chimchar Oweguy COKEMAN11

Thebiggesttdifan had five votes, and Cokeman had four votes. They're our bottom two.

Thebiggesttdifan's Reason to Stay
Oh god. Yet another time in the bottom two...am I starting to seem a little antagonistic? I mean, I've burned out everyone when I've been in the bottom two. Something tells me that karma might just get to me...but I really hope it doesn't. Like I've said formerly, I come here to write. Without this, I don't write. Well, barely, anyways. Plus, it's just fun to come and enjoy seeing your review up every time to see what someone thinks of your story.

The last thing I want to say is that if I lose, I won't really give a fuss. I've made it to the second week of the merge. My highest goal. So, therefore, it would be great to continue on, but just fine if I lost.

COKEMAN11's Reason to Stay
Wow. Another time in the bottom two with TBTDIF. I know a lot of people think I shouldn't have returned that fast. That's probably why I'm here. But it would be a big dissapointment if everyone kicked me out right when I returned. Sure, I'm a good author. But that doesn't mean I'm a threat. Some of these people here are better than me. Anonymos, Chimchar... They're both better than me.

I want my name to go down in TDA history. Half of the people here have done well in past seasons. So, please, let me stay. (I feel like I'm giving a somewhat emotional speech...)

The Decision
Sunshine: Seriously, how many times are you two going to be in the bottom two against each other??? This was an extremely, extremely, EXTREMELY difficult decision. I thought. I discussed with Sprinklemist. We even considered nominating a third person for elimination to save the two great authors who stand in front of me now. But in the end, Sprinklemist and I came to the difficult decision. The person eliminated from TDA3 today is... COKEMAN11. I have to say, CK11, it really, really saddens me to see you leaving again so soon. You're a really talented author, and if you weren't up against TBTDIF, you probably would have stayed. Keep writing, and I expect to see you in TDA4! Goodbye!

Week 11
Sunshine: Hello, final seven! Sorry that week took so long... you guys ready to rock?

Challenge 11
This week, you will be writing a parody of a book, movie, TV show episode, et cetera, using TDI characters. Remember, a parody is supposed to be humerous! Please include a cast list at the beginning of the story. You'll be judged on the usual spelling/grammar, plus creativity, originality, and humor. Good luck, Best-Sellers!
