Chapter 18 - Episode 18: Teamwork Wins The Race

Chris woke the campers up, and Olivia, Bonnie, and Arnold exited their trailer. Once they did, Chris came down in a helicopter and announced their next challenge. Chris said, "Welcome campers to your next challenge. It's a team challenge. Round 1 is heroes vs. villains. Bonnie then did a confessional and said, "Obviously, I'm playing on the villains' team. I mean, come on, I used to be in jail before I was released, and I rocked the prison challenge for my team." Chris said, "Time to set the teams. Team villain: Carter, Dana, Henry, Bonnie, Helga, and Evan." Henry said, "What? Why have I been placed on the villains' team?" Ivan said, "Because of everything you did in the game, including giving Fiona a black eye in the boxing challenge." Chris said, "Team hero: Emma, Rosey, Ivan, Ryan, Arnold, and Olivia." Henry then did a confessional and said, "So I'm paired with a bunch of mean people while the heroes get creepy Olivia instead of me." Olivia then did a confessional and said, "I guess using my smarts in the boat challenge got me awarded on the heroes team. Too bad Henry doesn't like it."

Chris said, "Time for the challenge. A game of Capture the Flag. The villains will wear belts with blood-red flags to represent villainy, and the heroes will wear belts with gold-yellow flags to represent heroism. You'll try to capture all the flags from the opposing team's belts. If your flag gets captured, you're out. The winning team wins immunity in the vote and a ride back to camp. The losing team pays the price of moving on to the next round and trying to win immunity again. Good luck." Emma then did a confessional and said, "I knew I'd play on the heroes team. Rosey and Ryan are tough, but I can't speak for the rest of the team. All the tough people like Dana, Bonnie, Helga, and Evan are on the opposing team. If the heroes want to win, we must think strategically." Dana then made a confessional and said, "The villains have this game in the bag. And the heroes are going to the next round for sure."

The heroes and villains then split up and went in different directions. Emma and Ivan looked around but didn't see anyone, so they ran for it. Dana then pulled a rope, which tripped Emma and Ivan, and they fell to the ground. While Emma and Ivan were down, Dana captured their flags, getting Emma and Ivan out. Dana said, "Victory is ours." Rosey then caught Dana's flag. Rosey said, "Is that so?" Bonnie then reached down from a treesey's flag, getting her out. Bonnie said, "I think it is." Arnold then swung by Bonnie on a vine and captured her flag when he did. Arnold said, "Later." Arnold then slammed into a tree and fell to the ground. Arnold then got up and said, "2 villains down, 4 to go." Helga said, "Maybe. But there are three heroes down and three more to go." Helga and Arnold grabbed each other's flags but haven't taken them yet. Helga said, "I can stand here all day." Arnold said, "So can I." Helga and Arnold kept staring at each other, waiting to grab the other's flag, but they remained still.

Meanwhile, Carter found a cave and looked for the heroes inside. Olivia then entered the cave thinking there was at least one villain inside, and she was right. Olivia found Carter and caught his flag. Olivia said, "Ha, you're out." Olivia then ran out of the cave and saw Arnold and Helga holding each other's flags. Olivia figured there was only one way to resolve it, so she walked up to them, grabbed Helga's flag, pushed Helga, and got her flag, but Helga took Arnold's flag when she fell. Olivia said, "You're both out." Henry snuck up behind Olivia and tried to catch her flag, but Olivia ran for it. Henry then saw Ryan and tried grabbing his flag, but he missed. Then Ryan caught Henry's flag and got him out. Ryan said, "5 villains down, one more to go." Ryan and Olivia tried to take out Henry, but Henry ran for it and avoided them. Evan then hid behind a tree and captured Ryan's flag, getting him out. It came down to Evan vs. Olivia. Evan then hid behind his tree and waited for Olivia to walk by. Olivia looked everywhere for Evan but couldn't find him anywhere. Once Olivia walked by the tree he was hiding behind, Evan caught Olivia's flag and got her out. Evan said, "I did it; I won." Chris said, "The villains win the game, immunity in the vote, and a ride home." Bonnie then made a confessional and said, "Now that the villains have won, we all get immunity. Now we can watch one of the heroes get voted off. But which one? They're all too good for this game."

Once the villains got back to camp, they watched the heroes compete against each other. Chris said, "Ok, heroes. It's time for three more of you to win immunity—boys vs. girls in a tag team race. The first team to skateboard across the ramp, climb the climbing wall, and horseback ride across the finish line wins. Each team member will pick which event they'll participate in."

Rosey and Ryan began participating in the skateboarding event when the race started. Ryan was the first to cross the ramp and tag Ivan, who started climbing the wall. Once Rosey reached the end of the ramp, she tagged Olivia, who started climbing the wall after Ivan. Olivia then made a confessional and said, "Being a genius, I was an A+ student in school, even at the gym, which means I can climb easily." Olivia reached the top first and started climbing down the other side. Once she did, she tagged Emma, who got on her horse and rode to the finish line. When Ivan made it down the other side, he tagged Arnold, who got on his horse and rode after Emma. Arnold speeded up his horse, passed Emma, and crossed the finish line first. Chris said, "The boys win and get immunity in the vote."

When nighttime came, the campers sat around the campfire. Chris said, "Since they won the challenge, the villains get the first six marshmallows." Chris then gave all the villains marshmallows. Chris said, "And since the boys won the race, they get the next three marshmallows." Chris then threw the boys the next three marshmallows, leaving only two left and Emma, Rosey, and Olivia as the three suspects to get voted off. Chris said, "The next marshmallow goes to Rosey." Chris then tossed Rosey the next marshmallow. Chris said, "The final marshmallow goes to..." Emma and Olivia both hoped to win, but the other would lose. Chris said, "Olivia." Emma said, "What? Why me?" Olivia said, "Maybe you should have rode your horse faster like Arnold." Emma said, "Rosey was the one who couldn't skateboard fast enough against Ryan." Henry said, "True, but you and Ivan were the first to get out while playing Capture the Flag. And since I couldn't vote for Ivan, I had to vote for you."

Emma then grabbed her things and walked to the camp bus, where the bus driver drove her home. Chris said, "Fifteen campers are out, eleven remain, and only one has the invisibility idol. Who has the invisibility idol? And who will be the next one voted off? Find out next time on Total Drama Camp."
