The final four competes in the final immunity challenge. Someone discovers the evidence left by a fallen contestant that exposes another's true nature, which leads the hero to feel almost apologetic to a villain. Meanwhile, the malevolent competitor ends up trapping someone in a pile of junk before sabotaging somebody else's chance of winning against his old foe. In the end, one contestant is automatically eliminated due to angering the host, and another is eliminated by the winner's sole vote to try and save her significant other in the finale.

Plot

The episode begins at night, right after the previous elimination ceremony, with an upset Scott sitting in the stairs of the cabin, mourning Courtney's elimination. Scott states that he misses having someone to boss him around, and Mal, who is standing behind him, convinces him that it's Gwen who's to blame for Courtney being gone. Then, Gwen, who is considering making allies, tries recruiting Scott by comforting him. However, Scott's conversation with Mal causes him to snap at her, wanting to get rid of her next.

I'm the last original cast member left on the island — yay me! — but if I'm gonna make it to the finale, I'll need a few allies. […] So much for making nice with Scott!

Yelling at Gwen won't bring Courtney back, but it sure feels good. Plus, now that I'm the only real villain left on the island, I've got a duty to churn everyone else up until they're as whipped and stinky as mawmaw's goat butter. Man, I miss her cookin'.

The million dollars is in my grasp, and still no one has a clue that I'm not really Mike. I'm gonna use the prize money to live like a real villain: in a tower, preferably overlooking a volcano!

Inside Mike's subconscious, he and his first three personalities are almost at the tower when they finally locate Manitoba Smith. Manitoba has been tasked with the least strange job of all the alters — destroying Mike's dreams so he "can never enjoy them again." He selects a cloud displaying one about kissing Zoey, earning a smile from Mike, and a romantic comment from a sighing Svetlana. Mike snaps out of it when Manitoba throws the cloud into the fire. The former attempts to convince him to join them, but the latter points out that, as Mike would just regain control, he himself cannot really benefit. Vito and Chester realize the validity of his argument, and question why they should listen to Mike. Mike counters that he's "the original," and extracts his license to prove it. The image on the card is not his own, but Mal's, shocking Mike and his other personalities.

MikeassuresZoey

"Mike" fails to trick Zoey into believing everything is okay again.

Zoey is then seen in the Spa Hotel, pondering Alejandro's warning about Mal. Chris bursts into the room, complaining about the quality of the hotel. He complains that the sheets are "only" six hundred thread count, and the soap is made of actual soap. Zoey tricks him into leaving, by saying she needs to use the bathroom. She hits a portrait of Chris and something behind his teeth falls out — the DVD of Mal's misdeeds. She sneaks into the library and plays it, discovering that Mal indeed has been sabotaging the game. Chris makes his usual announcement to meet for the challenge, this time at the Dock of Shame. "Mike" assures Zoey that things are back to normal, and remembers when he gave her a bracelet.

TDAS Zoey
Zoey
I can't believe how long Mike's been Mal! Ugh! I feel like such a fool for not realizing sooner.
Mike gave me a necklace, Mal, not a bracelet, you weasel!

Chris explains that the contestants must find the "valuable" treasure they are assigned, and bring it back undamaged. The first person to do that gets invincibility.

TDAS Gwen
Gwen
Chris's idea of 'valuable' is pretty skewed: He's such an ego maniac, his most prized possession is himself.

Zoey, as the winner of the last challenge, goes first and is assigned Sasquatchanakwa. Then, Gwen is supposed to retrieve a painting of Chris from his destroyed "cottage" intact; Scott is assigned a diamond guarded by Fang; and "Mike" is assigned a Gilded Chris Award.

No way am I letting anyone else win this challenge, especially Mal!
TDAS Mal
Mal
If I'm losing Zoey's trust, I really need to win this challenge! If I can't win fairly, I'll just have to win unfairly. (evil laughter)

Chris goes on to say that the contestant who comes back empty-handed, or finishes last will automatically be eliminated, and the immune contestant will send someone home, effectively causing a double elimination.

MalAbouttoHitGwen

Mal attempts to hit Gwen with a pipe as the latter searches in the ruins.

Scott is the first to reach his destination when Chris deliberately yells about his arrival over the intercom, so as to bring out Fang. The diamond is in his teeth, much to Scott's anger. The two initiate their normal routine of a "cat and mouse" game, with the shark having the advantage. Meanwhile, Zoey has found Sasquatchanakwa's tracks. She destroys a loudspeaker in order to retain her own safety and climbs into a tree. Gwen is next to reach her location, who, initially confident, retracts her enthusiasm when she sees how burned and scattered with debris the cottage is.

TDAS Gwen
Gwen
Thanks again, Duncan.

"Mike" sneaks up behind her and almost hits her with a pipe, but Gwen becomes aware before his plans can come to fruition. When questioned, he says that despite the statue being long lost, he thought it would be at the cottage because Chris wouldn't lose a statue of himself. They agree to team up even though Gwen has her suspicions about "Mike." When Gwen warns "Mike" to be careful due to the frailness of the structure, he smiles evilly and kicks down a post, thus burying her in rubble.

TDAS Gwen
Gwen
I used to think Mike was sweet, but lately it's like he's gone bad, and not in a hot/cool, leather-jacket-and-graffity kinda way. Whenever things get mean or painful, he seems to enjoy it. It's like he's turning into Chris!
TDAS Mal
Mal
If you can't beat 'em, beat 'em up.
Mal's knife

Mal cannot resist sabotaging Scott's efforts.

Zoey obtains Sasquatchanakwa's egg breakfast and flees for the finish line. Meanwhile, Scott tries to obtain the diamond from Fang. Scott's plan fails miserably and falls inside of the boat, and Fang throws at him bowling balls and a treasure chest, the latter which gets stuck to his head.

TDAS Scott
Scott
If I'm gonna get the diamond from F-F-Fang, I gotta subdue him before he can subdue me. Pappy taught me how to hog-tie pigs when I was a kid. Sharks aren't any different. Same smooth hides, same beady eyes — they're basically the pigs of the sea!
Sharks are nothing like pigs!

Mal runs into Scott and tries to help him, suggesting that they work together to get to the final two. The latter accepts, forming a deal.

TDAS Mal
Mal
Let me guess — he thinks I'm handing him the million on some sort of platter? (laughs) Sometimes it's too easy.

Scott
(devious chuckle) Guy's handing me the million dollars on a tin platter; he just doesn't know it yet!

Gwen pulls herself out of the wreckage and grumbles about Mal to then find an intact painting of Chris. She accidentally smudges it and frantically works to restore it, but can't find the perfect shade of brown until she comes across bear feces. Extremely disgusted but satisfied with the color, she uses it for the painting. Mal sabotages a trap he and Scott made to capture Fang and traps Scott instead, before watching Fang beat him up. Zoey tries to surrender the eggs, but the branch she and Sasquatchanakwa are both on breaks. Upon landing, Zoey shatters the eggs underneath her rear as they both begin rolling down the hill. They land by Chris, who announces that Zoey wins the challenge.

12

Zoey wins the challenge for the third time in a row.

Mal drags Scott over and argues that while he didn't find the Gilded Chris, he did bring back one of the host's favorite things: an injured contestant. Chris is pleased and doesn't take the issue any further. Gwen's efforts result in her arriving last, though, unlike the males, with something to actually present for judgment. Chris notes that doesn't recognize it, recoiling at the smell. Gwen reluctantly admits she used bear poop for paint and Chris pukes on the portrait. For "defacing" the painting, he eliminates Gwen from the competition.

TheFinalTwoTDAS

After Gwen and Scott are eliminated, Mike and Zoey become the finalists of Total Drama All-Stars.

Inside Mike's head, Mike is still in disbelief over Mal apparently being the original personality. Chester asking why he's been listening to him triggers Svetlana to raise morale in Mike's defense. She states that even though he may not be the first, he is the best. As Mike thanks her, Manitoba reminds him that they're inside a "jail" Mal created. Mike realizes that the wallet is really just a piece of brain and that he is indeed the original. He molds the brain into a key and frees Manitoba. Mike grudgingly agrees to carry Chester for the rest of the trip while everyone else runs ahead. Gwen wishes Zoey good luck in the competition and the latter says that she hopes they're on the same team next time. Gwen angrily adds that she never wants to return right before being flushed. Chris then instructs Zoey to choose who is eliminated.

TDAS Zoey
Zoey
I wanna bring Mike to the finale, not Mal! But if I ditch Mal now, Mike could be lost forever. Ugh! Love. Seriously!

Zoey elects to send Scott home for reasons of a past agreement, as well as fear about terminating Mike before he may regain control. Scott warns Zoey that she picked the wrong person to take with her, but she assures him that she knows what she's up against. Chris pushes Scott into the toilet and flushes him before signing off.

Trivia

General

  • The "pirate booty" assigned to the contestants and their locations are:
    • Gwen: An intact portrait of Chris from the wreckage of his cottage.
    • Mike/Mal: The original Gilded Chris Award, located anywhere around the island.
      • A Gilded Chris is shown in the spa hotel in the previous episode. As Mal decided to sabotage the others instead of search for it, it is unknown if this is the one Chris was talking about.
    • Scott: A diamond from the pirate ship set previously seen in "Mutiny on the Soundstage," guarded by Fang.
    • Zoey: Sasquatchanakwa, located anywhere around the island.
  • The traps inside the chests that activate when the contestants open them are:
    • Zoey's chest contains an electric shock.
    • Scott's chest contains a boxing glove that hits him in the face, with the clue stuck on it.
    • Gwen's chest throws pepper to the one who opens it.
    • Mike/Mal's chest contains a snapping turtle who bites his hand.
  • With Gwen's elimination, all first-generation cast members have been eliminated. Additionally with her and Scott's eliminations, all members of the Villainous Vultures have been eliminated, giving the show the first same-team final two since Gwen and Owen in Total Drama Island.
  • With Manitoba Smith's appearance, the order that Mike discovers his personalities within his subconscious is the same order in which they debuted: first Chester, then Svetlana, then Vito, and finally Manitoba.
  • With Gwen and Scott eliminated, Total Drama Island is the only season that didn't feature a double elimination.
  • Mal is the only contestant to not find his treasure.
  • The Chef bobble head from Total Drama World Tour is seen on the mantle where the portrait of Chris is hanging in a bathroom.
  • Not counting Scott’s mention of Courtney, this is the only episode of the season where she doesn’t make a physical appearance.

Continuity

References

  • The title of this episode is a reference to the American soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.
  • The result of Gwen's failed attempt at restoring the painting of Chris is a reference to the failed restoration of the Ecce Homo painting by Cecilia Giménez.

Goofs

  • In the video of Mal sabotaging the boats in "You Regatta Be Kidding Me," his hair was flipped up, while it is down in the episode.
  • When Fang hears and smiles at Scott's response, the diamond in his teeth is missing.
    • The diamond is also missing when he grabs the bucket full of fish Scott put as a trap.
  • When Mal snarls at the snapping turtle that is hiding in his chest, the gap in his teeth is missing.
  • As Mal arrives dragging Scott back to Chris, Chris refers to him as "Mal" even though he still refers to him as Mike to not unveil his identity to other contestants. Puzzingly, Zoey doesn't even react to Chris calling Mike that.
