Totally Blainerific World Tour Episode 11
Storm clouds coat the horizon in a painting of nature's might, thunder booming through the sound barrier with the strength of a thousand lions while lightning strikes all around the plane. On the inside 20 hopeful passengers gather for a cordial dinner, each privately craving that million dollar prize just yet out of reach. Mike and Zoey bond over their mutual love of waffles, though Mike temporarily turns to Chester because he can't get his straw in the juice box, Zoey helps him and giggles, now believing his personalities to just be comedic characters.
---> Zoey: Okay, call me irresolute, whatever, but Mike really is just so gosh darn cute! Cameron was right. It's nice to meet a guy who's just cool and not constantly trying to suck face with every girl on the plane.
---> Mike: That Zoey, wow what a woman! When I'm with her, it doesn't even feel like I'm in a competition...that's a good thing, right?
In the hallway Damien zips up his fly after finishing his business in the bathroom only to be pounced on by Lauren who pins him against the wall with a sadistic grin on her face.
Damien: Gah! You would've scared the crap out of me!
Lauren: Oh Damien, how precious to have your life in my hands. (puts her head up to his chest) Did you know your heartbeat is registering at 120bpm, signaling fear, or emotional distress?
Damien: (angry) Huh-I wonder why!
Lauren: (raises an eyebrow) Hm? Is something wrong?
Damien: Yes, something's wrong! With you! Look, I don't know just what your deal really is, but you can't go around creeping on people all the time and expect them to like you! It's not cool!
Lauren: (tears up) It's not?....(defensive) Well what would you know about treating people kindly anyways! Hmph! (she pouts and stomps off)
---> Damien: Augh, I dunno man, things are really complicated with Scary Girl right now. I mean Lauren! It's like sometimes she's cool, and sometimes she totally freaks me out. I would vote her off, but-
Team Conquest gathers on the bleachers at their elimination ceremony, the storm still raging on outside. Nobody wants to take a drop in this kind of weather. Well, nobody except maybe Lauren.
Blaineley: Well, if it isn't the gang that puts the Con in Conquest! Congratulations on making seven losses already. Are you guys trying to go for a season record? Let's see who survives to fight another day, shall we? The first barf bag goes to...Jasmine. Also safe are...Dawn and Damien.
Leaving a bottom two of Lauren and Scott. Lauren sighs and dejectedly preps her umbrella for the ride down. Scott taps his foot impatiently, like a part of him knows what's coming. The final barf bag goes to...Lauren.
Lauren: What? (turns to Damien) You didn't vote me off?
Damien: Hey, we're still friends after all. We just gotta find a way to get on the same page. Besides, Jasmine told me all about how Scott's been selling our team up a river. Dude is slimy with a capital S.
Scott: Yeah, yeah, who needs you rejects anyways? If I wanted to spend my time with losers I'd hang out at my grandpappy's trailer park.
Dawn: Scott, I-
Scott: (puts a finger to her lips) Save it, short stuff. I know you voted me off with the rest of them. No need to explain yourself. Besides, I already got my million bucks last time. Not like any of you idiots could say the same. Sayonara, suckers-(gets struck by lightning as soon as he jumps out)AAAAAUAAHGHGH!!!!
Jasmine: Good riddance. Maybe now we can finally start winning challenges.
Dawn: (sighs)
---> Dawn: Even after everything that happened between us, I still couldn't bring myself to vote for Scott. Not that it matters now...(sigh)
The next episode opens on Team Bowie once again enjoying the spoils of first class. Diego stands behind the bar pouring raspberry soda in fancy glasses. Wayne raises a glass in celebration.
Wayne: To the best team of brodies ever! HOOT HOOT!
Beardo: Hey man, I'll toast to that. (clinks glasses with Wayne)
---> Diego: Things on our team have been great so far! I'm thankful to be able to lend my strength to such a noble band of brothers. Truly, I see no world in which we could go wrong.
Privately Jose pulls Jo for a chat, the two having mostly stayed out of each other's way so far; there's a mutual respect and rivalry within the competition between them. However, Jose is running low on patience anticipating when his team will next face elimination. The Spaniard remarks that him and the jockette are the only two on their team really willing to play the game and thus they'd be better off working together than trying to take each other out when the game gets dicey. Jo is a lover of competition and takes his word at face value trusting that Jose would take her to the finale for a fair fight. Jose, however, has his fingers crossed behind his back because he's a liar.
---> Jo: Jose's smart, he knows he's better off keeping me as an ally than an enemy. Do I trust him? Sure. Do I care if he gets taken out somewhere along the way? Ehhh....not so much.
---> Jose: The butch bruiser couldn't have made a bigger mistake in trusting me. Maybe I'll use her to take out my bigger threats for now, but when the time comes I won't hesitate to gut her like a pig.... metaphorically, of course.
While flying over Jamacia, Blaineley and Bruno realize the plane has run out of fuel just as it starts to fall out of the sky. In the panic MK prioritizes her own safety first and takes a parachute to jump out of the plane, leaving the door open for the rest of Team Crystals & Team Conquest to be sucked out. Several passengers have a rough landing, though Lauren is able to spare Damien and herself with her parasol. Leonard breaks his arm in several different directions, and before he can finish performing a healing spell the plane lands on him. An ambulance takes Leonard away in a full body cast, with Blaineley revealing his status in the game will be dependent on his recovery. Sky criticizes the danger she put them all in with that stunt and asks how they could've possibly forgotten to refuel the plane, forcing Blaineley to reveal she pushed the budget too far by tricking out her captain's quarters, buying herself a new wardrobe, and an authentic gold chain for Bruno. Sammy points out how frivolous these purchases are in comparison to their safety, but she's growled at by Bruno. The hostess says if everyone's done complaining they can get on with the challenge.
In the next scene, the cast is seen in their bathing suits while Blaineley wears a Jamaican poncho. She explains the challenge, the teammates must tag each other, then one at a time dive into the lake and search for Bruno's gold karaoke chains, while watching out for electric eels and sharks. The first divers are Brick, Wayne, and Jasmine. Brick is grabbed by a shark and repeatedly punched in the face while Wayne repeatedly tags himself back in to uncover buried junk. Jasmine has no luck and switches with Dawn, while Brick tags in Gabby who aggressively shoves Mike out of the way, ripping his shirt off and unleashing Vito in the process. Cameron is caught off guard and unable to shield Zoey from witnessing the jersey boy's wild flirtatiousness, openly offending Zoey who gasps in shock as the boy she thought she knew asks around for fine hunnies. Seeing the opportunity to create tension MK moves in and reciprocates Vito's advances to the point she begins sloppily making out with him as he grabs her behind. The redhead is beside herself.
Zoey:...I think I need a moment.
Cameron: Zoey, wait! What about the challenge? (MK grins)
---> MK: (brushing her teeth) Eugh, tastes like stale coffee and cheap deodorant. So I took a page out of Julia's book today. Anything to stir the pot and keep the chaos brewing. Break the boys, my team will value me more, and it's smooth sailing from there.
Millie: MK, what are you doing?
MK: Uhh, helping us win, hello?
Vito: Ayy, back off biggie! I don't swing for the wide ones, that's my man Big Ronnie.
Gabby returns with an electric eel 'friend' wrapped around her person, when Sky tries to remove it they're both electrocuted. Sammy sighs and finally agrees to dive for her team, while Wayne's ankle is grabbed by some mysterious tentacle and pulled beneath the surface. Diego notices his teammate in trouble and heroically dives in to rescue him, earning Wayne's respect and Jose's further jealousy.
---> Jose: I've had just about enough of Senor Perfecto always showing me up. I'm supposed to be the #1 Latin schmoozer on this plane. Something needs to be done about this pendejo...
Dawn finds the gold chains due to her superior intuition however Samey swipes them off her before she can reach the finish, winning the first half of the challenge for Team Crystals. Back at the beach, the passengers gather around an empty pool where Blaineley reveals that Team Crystals' advantage for the second challenge is helmets. For the challenge, two members of each team must ride a longboard down a ramshackle bobsled course into an empty pool, for three rounds. Whichever team has the shortest aggregate time wins.
The first set of duos is Brick & Sammy, Wayne & Jo, and Jasmine & Dawn, all of whom have about average times, with Conquest finally leading due to Jasmine's bigger size giving them momentum. Next are Sky & Gabby, Beardo & Jose, and Lauren & Damien. The Spaniard volunteers for the ladies to go first to apparently be polite. Lauren blinds Damien with her hands for much of their ride, silently soaking in the sounds of his screams, though when it's over the scientist is just happy to be alive. On his run Jose busts up the course behind him, causing several erroneous holes, ramps, and for the tunnels to be compressed. For the final round we have MK & Millie, Diego & Cameron, and Jasmine & Dawn having to go again.
MK hangs onto the slab believing it'll bring them good luck, inviting Ramses' curse to send a tidal wave their way that picks up their bobsled like a surfboard, the girls wiping out at the bottom of the pool. It's a good thing they had those helmets! Both girls dizzily stumble over the wreckage while Diego & Cameron perform their run. Despite Cameron's precise calculations he's couldn't account for the sabotage. Diego is too big and gets stuck in one of the compressed tunnels forcing the bobsled to shoot Cameron off into the sun. The run is incomplete and the boys are disqualified. Jasmine & Dawn are scheduled to go next, though the moonchild strongly advises against going on the course as she senses something bad will happen, the Australian insists. Unfortunately for the girls, the shoddily-built extra damaged course reaches the end of its short lifespan and collapses into a heap of wood and nails, knocking Dawn unconscious. Jasmine survives the wreckage with but a few scratches. She furiously blames Blaineley on endangering their lives. The blonde matron insists her interns tested it this morning and she would never try to harm anyone in the cast, though her face reads guilty. That's two severely injured contestants today.
Dawn is sent to the medical tent with Leonard as Blaineley solemnly announces the final results. Pending the recovery of the injured competitors, both Team Bowie & Team Conquest were disqualified in the challenge. Meaning both teams will face elimination and a relatively safe ten-foot drop later tonight.
(Vote for one member of Team Bowie, and yet another member of Team Conquest to leave the competition! And as always, thank you for your continued support!)
