User Total Drama Action (Week 8: A Bone to Pick)
The Goomba that resided in a shoe made his departure for the second time in both Week 4 and Week 7. His second departure, though, signified something very great; it signified the arrival of not only two new competitors, in the form of the temporarily-inactive Toad85 and the temporary intern SonicMario, but the arrival of something that shattered the teams apart, literally. What were once known as the Moody Mushrooms and theRowdy Rupees were nothing more than figments of the past, as both teams merged into an every-man-for-self free-for-all in their quest to reach one million dollars. Will they stay true to their alliances when faced with their trials and tribulations? Will they reject the bonds that they've formed in an effort to save themselves? And will they succeed in reaching the final cash prize? All of that has yet to be seen, but will certainly be seen at some point. All you have to do is be patient and wait for events to transpire...
*ROOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR*
The loud noise of the week did a much better job at rousing up the dead-slumbering, yes, slumbering. Unlike the past attempts of the noises, which have had varying results, from either making people roll around a bit to jolting awake a small handful of people, this one finally succeeded in startling everyone up onto their feet, with only one or two stumbling to the ground, head-first. With everyone able to understand their current situation, they soon took note of the soft and mushy dirt at their feet. All around them were bright green tree leaves standing up bright brown tree trunks, excluding one large clearing, situated somewhere near one of their cardinal directions. In the middle of this clearing was none other than a giant, bright red Tyrannosaurus rex, evidently the source of that previous sound. At the sight of the grisly beast, several shouted, several screamed, and Gutseh gulped before thudding onto the ground. In the midst of the pandemonium, Reversinator emerged from the midst of the foliage, a much less headless Smasher trailing behind him.
"Smasher," he asked, "would you be so kind as to douse off our downed friend here with some water?"
Smasher silently nodded and brought out a glass jug filled to the brim with ice-cold water. At once, he unceremoniously dumped its contents onto the fallen form of Gutseh, rousing him up almost instantaneously.
"Gyah!" Gutseh sputtered out what traces of water slipped into his mouth, and rubbed out what drops of water fell into his eyes. "Couldn't you just let me sleep?"
"Now where's the fun in that? Besides, I need you awake for the challenge rules, unless you think sleeping is worth missing out on a million bucks..."
Gutseh scowled, but zipped his mouth shut and let the blabbering host begin his tirade.
"Perfect! Now, as I'm sure all of you have seen, I've decided to set a prehistoric setting for my prehistoric challenge: The Quiz Before Time!"
The cast members couldn't help but groan in unison at the prospect of having to participate in yet another quiz.
"Shut up. In any case, this challenge will be set up in a tournament sort-of way. Players will be set up in pairs and asked one question with four possible answers, only one of which is correct, that's related to the history of our very, very, very distant past. Whichever player picks the correct answer moves up the bracket. If both players guess the correct answer, a second question is asked. If that question results in both players picking the correct answer, the cycle will continue until one of them messes up. The brackets will continue to thin out until one final person emerges victorious. This person will be receiving immunity from elimination, if they do not already have it. Now, since we have 10 players that are participating, the second round could potentially involve at least one trio that will receive the same question. Toad85 and SonicMario will be receiving immunity for this week, but as a result, they will begin paired together, meaning that only one of them will have the chance to win. Also, if they tie in their first question, both of them will end up eliminated.
"For my second twist, the tournament will not only proceed upwards, but downwards as well. Players that have failed at a question will then compete against other losers in an attempt to stay away from the bottom. The person who ends up as the ultimate loser will not have their vote actually count. So, with all the rules laid out, the beginning pairs are Toad85 versus SonicMario, Smg2daisy versus Rocker, BMB versus New Super Mario, LN1 versus Gutseh, and Nabber versus Cirdec. All of you are set, so welcome to the Jurassic Park!"
