Total Drama Island: Return To Wawanakwa

Episode 2: Smashed In-Immunity Challenge

"Welcome back!" Chris announced, "Before the break, the campers were informed of their challenge: a deadly struggle for keys in an attempt to get puzzle pieces to solve a puzzle. Having changed into their swimwear, let's see what they have planned for their strategy."

"Alright, before we go any further, we need to figure out which guy will sit out," Daniel declared, trying to be a leader.

"I'd like to interject," Alexander remarked, not looking for permission, "Matthew, I know that you won us the last challenge, but I just don't think that this challenge is ideal for you."

"I get it, and it's fine," Matthew agreed, "Unless someone else wants to sit out, I'll do it.

"I was afraid that this would happen. I really want to prove that I'm not a hindrance to my team, but I also don't want to seem stubborn. I guess I'll just sit this one out and hope that I can play in the next one."- Matthew

"Okay. Now, I think that our more athletic people should swim," Amalia noted, "Opinions?"

"Well, Veronica and Tory had success in the water last challenge," Daniel pointed out, "They should swim for sure. Then... maybe Amalia and Alexander can join them. All we need is one more."

"Why not you, man?" Matthew asked, "I mean, you did throw yourself off a cliff backwards."

"If I'm gonna be honest, I got kinda banged up at Boney Island," Daniel admitted, "I kinda want to avoid physical activity for a small bit, but if you guys want me to swim, I'll be a team player and fight through the pain."

"I'm not actually banged up. But considering that I'm a part of a majority alliance, I don't see the need to make myself a physical threat. I'll take a back seat if I can."- Daniel

"I'll swim then!" Fedor exclaimed.

"I've been waiting for a big opportunity to prove my worth to the team! What better than to be the man to step up when a fellow team member goes down?!"- Fedor

"Sure," Daniel agreed, "I'll do the puzzle then."

"I'm pretty good at puzzles," Callie commented, raising her hand so she'd be seen, "Can I do the puzzle?"

"I see no problem with that," Veronica admitted, which received a series of nods from the other campers.

"What about you two?" Fedor asked, pointing to Ellie and Cassie.

"You can choose," Ellie allowed, talking to Cassie, "I'm fine either way."

"I guess I'll unlock the chest..." Cassie replied unconfidently.

"Not gonna lie...I'm not very good at puzzles. Or swimming. Those aren't my strengths. Back home, I'm known for being a decently-skilled contemporary dancer. Hopefully I can just slide under the radar this challenge and show my true skills in another one."- Cassie

While the Wild Wolverines were quick to make their decisions, the Merciless Moose took much longer, mainly due to a constant disagreement with regards to who should do which part. Unsurprisingly, the loudest voices in the conversation belonged to Katelyn, who was the de facto leader, and Zeyad, who wanted to regain control of the team after being in the minority in the last vote.

"Look, we have it all planned out!" Katelyn claimed, "Why can't you just swim?"

"Have you seen this hair?" Zeyad asked, pointing at his quiff hairstyle, "I can't afford to have it wet. I'm doing the puzzle."
