Gage then wakes up in the middle of the night.

“It was just a bad dream,” Gage exclaims, “I’m gonna need some water.” Gage then slipped out of the men’s bedroom and out of the Moon Team lounge. He then headed down to the living room, where Phoebe was watching a scary movie.

“What are you watching?” Gage asks.

“It’s an old horror movie called The Harvester,” Phoebe answers, “It’s the 1975 original, not the 2016 remake.”

“Nice,” Gage replies.

“I just want to blow off steam kid,” Phoebe exclaims, “I almost got voted out.”

“I knew it,” Gage replies.

“You’re a good kid Gage,” Phoebe exclaims, “Or at least I hope.”

“No,” Gage replies, “I’m not another Fiore.”

Confessional (Gage): Not all kids are evil. I want to show everyone that nice and sweet kids can still win at this game.

“That’s good to hear,” Phoebe replies back, “Now wanna watch with me? I got popcorn.”

“Sure,” Gage replies back as the two of them sit down to watch the movie.

The next morning, the Moon Team was having breakfast.

“Pancakes and sausage are ready,” Kylie exclaims.

“It’s gonna be so good,” Winter replies.

Confessional (Winter): I’ve always enjoyed my mom’s breakfasts. They’re one of the few comforts I have in this world.

“Don’t you prepare for your family?” Malik asks. Kylie had a long pause.

“Oh. Looks like you don’t have one, then?” Olga asks.

“I’ve been so consumed by my career that I’ve never found time for love or a family,” Kylie answers.

“That’s upsetting,” Drake replies.

Confessional (Kylie): I wanted to have a family. But I eventually got so consumed by my career that I’ve just never found time.

“Having a family is so fun,” Mikayla exclaims, “Take it from me. I’ve gotta go to the bathroom.” Mikayla then walks off.

“Make sure you don’t give me peanut butter,” Drake exclaims, “I’m allergic to peanuts.”

“Alright,” Kylie replies.

Confessional (Mikayla): I hope we have a fun challenge next.

Over on the Sun Team, Ryder was on the balcony. Miguel walks out.

“You OK?” Miguel asks.

“Yeah,” Ryder answers, “I’m just thinking about everyone. About my parents.”

“Fuck them,” Miguel replies, “You are your own person. Only you can decide how you live your life.”

“Thank you,” Ryder replies back. The two then hug.

Confessional (Ryder): Miguel is the person I need at this point. 

The two then head back into the Team Lounge.

“We need to win a challenge for once,” Carly exclaims.

Confessional (Carly): Ugh! I hate losing! 

“Yeah,” Cassie replies, “We really need something. We’re now down one player, and I don’t wanna be down two.”

“Yes,” Isaiah replies back, “No one does.”

Confessional (Isaiah): I’m confident I can lead my team to victory.

“Attention everyone! Head outside for the next challenge!” Kristal shouts.

“Let’s go team,” Hans exclaims as the fifteen remaining players headed outside.

“For this challenge you will be digging in this sand pit looking for ingredients to bake a cake. Then, two players from each team must head into the house’s kitchen and prepare the cake for three of their team members to eat. The first team to finish their cake will win immunity. For the losers, one of you will be headed out the door,” Kristal exclaims, “Now, GO!” The members of each team then ran out to the sand pit to dig out the containers filled with ingredients.

“Let’s keep digging,” Drake exclaims as the Moon Team keeps digging for the ingredients. Eventually Gage found the first box.

“I found it!” Gage shouts.

“Good,” Olga replies, “Keep going.” Soon Carly found the first box for the Sun Team.

“I got it!” Carly shouts.

“Good work,” Isaiah replies.

“I got the second box,” Malik exclaims as he pulls out the second box.

“The Moon Team now has two boxes,” Kristal exclaims, “The Sun Team is still stuck with one.”

“Pick up the pace!” Carly shouts as the players continue to dig for the ingredient boxes.

“I got one!” Hans shouts as he digs out the second box.

“The teams are now tied with two boxes each,” Kristal exclaims.

“I got it!” Olga shouts as she digs up the third box.

“Good job Olga!” Drake shouts.

Confessional (Olga): I never doubt my abilities.

“I can’t believe I’m getting my designer dress ruined by sand!” Cassie shouts.

“Get over it Cassie,” Phoebe replies, “You signed up for this game for a reason.”

“I got it!” Miguel shouts as he gets the third box.

“There’s only one box left for each team,” Kristal exclaims, “Who will claim it.” Francois then started to dig furiously.

“I gotta do this!” Francois shouts.

Confessional (Francois):This is the most physical activity I’ve done in a long time.I’m usually playing video games, working on a science experiment, or reading.

“You got it kid!” Drake shouts. Francois then grabs the last box.

“I got it!” Francois shouts.

“So, who’s gonna bake the cake?” Kylie asks.

“I’ll do it,” Mikayla answers, “I’ve baked all my kids’ birthday cakes.”

“Well, I’ll do it,” Winter replies, “It’ll be fun, I guess.”

“That settles it. Mikayla and Winter, you two will bake the cake. Grab the boxes and head inside into the kitchen,” Drake exclaims.

“OK,” Mikayla replies as the two grab the boxes and head inside.

Confessional (Mikayla): I was born for this challenge. My kids love my birthday cakes.

“I got the last box,” Carly exclaims as she grabs the last box.

“I’ll get baking,” Isaiah exclaims.

“And I’ll come with you,” Hans replies, “We can talk together.”

Confessional (Hans): Isaiah seems like a trustworthy guy. I know I can count on him.”

“OK,” Isaiah replies back, “Let’s get a moving!” The two of them then grabbed the boxes and headed inside. Soon, all four of them were hard at work baking their cake.

“Is this the right amount of flour Isaiah?” Hans asks.

“Yes it is Hans,” Isaiah answers.

“OK,” Hans replies, “I never made a cake before.”

“Alright. So, what do you want to talk about?” Isaiah asks.

“I wonder how we’re gonna get through this game,” Hans answers.

“We can stick together,” Isaiah answers, “We need to get more people on our side.”

“That sounds smart,” Hans replies.

Confessional (Isaiah): Hans seems like he knows his way around the game. That’s why I like the guy.

“It does,” Isaiah replies back.

Meanwhile Winter and Mikayla were preparing their team’s cake.

“This cake is going smoothly,” Winter exclaims.

“Yeah Winter,” Mikayla replies. She then starts to put the ingredients together

“Time for me to add something to spice up this cake: peanut butter!” Mikayla shouts.

“Mmm. I love peanut butter cake,” Winter replies as Mikayla adds the peanut butter and puts it in the oven. Soon, Oliver pulls both cakes out of the oven. Phoebe, Ryder, and Miguel sat down to eat the cake for the Sun Team, and Gage, Drake, and Olga sat down to eat the cake for the Moon Team. The cakes were then presented to the players.

“Now, dig in!” Kristal shouts as the players begin to eat the cakes. The members of the Sun Team began to eat their cakes, and the players on the Moon Team did the same.”

“This is so good!” Ryder shouts.

“Yeah. You two guys did great,” Miguel replies.

“This is amazing, you two!” Gage shouts.

“Thanks,” Winter replies.

Confessional (Winter): It feels weird being complimented. It feels good.

“I’ll try and see if it’s as good as you’re saying,” Drake exclaims. Drake then takes one bite of the cake and he soon feels a burning sensation in his throat.

“Did you put peanut butter in this?” Drake asks.

“Yeah I did. My kids love peanut butter cake,” Mikayla answers.

“You idiot! I’m allergic to peanuts!” Drake shouts. Drake then feels his throat begin to swell up and he passes out.

“DRAKE!” Kylie shouts. Kylie then ran to Drake’s side.

“Drake needs help!” Oliver shouts.

“Quick! We need an Epi-Pen over here!” Kristal shouts. Oliver then came running over with an Epi-Pen.

“Help me!” Drake shouts in a weak voice as Oliver jabs the Epi-Pen into Drake’s arm.

“Drake, how are you feeling?” Kylie asks.

“I’m starting to feel a little better,” Drake answers.

“Good going Mikayla,” OIga exclaims.

Confessional (Olga): Looks like we know our target. Mikayla, you just fucking screwed up. You literally almost killed a teammate!

As that whole incident happened the Sun Team fully finished their cake.

“I’m stuffed!” Phoebe shouts.

“Sun Team wins immunity! Moon Team, I’ll be seeing you at Elimination tonight,” Kristal shouts.

Back at the Moon Team living quarters, Olga confronts Mikayla.

“What did you do?” Olga asks, “You almost killed Drake!”

“It was an accident!” Mikayla shouts.

“Really?” Olga asks.

“I had no idea he was allergic to peanuts, OK!” Mikayla shouts.

“Yeah Olga,” Drake replies, “She didn’t know.”

Confessional (Drake): Olga is really getting on my nerves.

Drake then gathers the Family Alliance together.

“After what happened, I say we vote for Olga!” Drake shouts.

“Why? She’s good….at challenges,” Winter replies.

“At this point, I don’t fucking care!” Drake shouts.

Confessional (Gage): This whole thing with Olga is currently driving Drake mad. I’m not sure I want to work with him if I keep this attitude.

“We’ve got five votes with Mikayla,” Kylie exclaims, “Let’s stick together.”

Meanwhile Olga got Francois and Malik together.

“I think that it’s more likely we win challenges if we keep you,” Francois exclaims.

“Thanks,” Olga replies, “Finally someone with common sense.”

“Mikayla is too careless,” Malik exclaims, “She straight up came close to killing Drake.”

“Yeah. I wonder why Drake is defending her,” Olga replies.

Confessional (Malik): Wouldn’t Drake want to get rid of Mikayla? She did almost kill him after all.

Soon the players gathered on the front porch for the elimination.

“Welcome to elimination. Head over to the voting booth to cast your votes for who you want to vote out tonight,” Kristal exclaims, “Get voting!”

Confessional (Drake, voting for Olga): I can’t let you get away with bullying a helpless woman. She didn’t mean to almost kill me, you know.

Confessional (Olga, voting for Mikayla): I can’t keep someone around who’s this careless.

“Alright. Once the votes are cast the person voted out will be asked to leave the mansion immediately. I’ll read the votes. First vote,” Kristal exclaims, “Olga.”

“Mikayla,” Kristal exclaims.

“Olga,” Kristal exclaims.

“Mikayla,” Kristal exclaims.

“Olga,” Kristal exclaims.

“Mikayla,” Kristal exclaims.

“Mikayla,” Kristal exclaims.

“The hell?” Drake asks.

“Second person voted out of Disventure Camp: Manor of Madness,” Kristal exclaims, “Mikayla! It’s time for you to go.”

“Winter? Gage? How could you?” Drake asks in a furious tone.

“We need Olga for challenges. They’re jacked,” Winter answers.

“Challenges don’t matter! We need to surround ourselves with nice people,” Drake replies.

“You can’t be nice and honorable in this game Drake,” Olga replies back, “You need to realize that.”

“Drake,” Mikayla exclaims, “I’m sorry for almost killing you.”

“It’s OK Mikayla,” Drake replies, “I understand.” Mikayla then walks towards the Bus of Losers, which then drives away.

Confessional (Drake): I thought I could play a nice, honorable game with people I trust. Looks like that is impossible. I might have to stoop to their level if I’m going to win.

The bus then drops Mikayla off at a bus stop.

“I wonder what’s this about?” Mikayla asks. Mikayla then walks over to see a crossroads with two paths, a note, and a torch.

“If you feel that you are done with the game, take the left path to the motel. If you feel that you have a shot to get back in the game, grab the torch and take the right path to Rescue Island,” Mikayla exclaims.

“Quitting now will send a bad message to my kids, it’s time for me to start my journey back into the game,” Mikayla exclaims. Mikayla then grabs the torch and heads off to Rescue Island. Meanwhile Gage sits alone on the back porch.

“Why couldn’t I save you? Why couldn’t I save you from that monster?” Gage asks himself.

Miguel ended up being shocked to see a Pride Flag tattoo on Ryder’s back.

“You’re gay?” Miguel asks.

“Yes I am,” Ryder answers, “My parents aren’t accepting of it at all.”

“So you’re hiding it?” Miguel asks.

“Yeah. I’ve been forced to play the role of the womanizing playboy for years now just to please my parents,” Ryder answers, “And I hate it.”

“That’s horrible,” Miguel exclaims, “You shouldn’t have to hide who you are.”

“Thanks Miguel,” Ryder replies. The two then hugged.

Confessional (Miguel): I’m bisexual myself. I’ve heard a lot of stories about parents not accepting their LGBT kids. It makes me happy that my parents back in Honduras accepted me for who I am.

“You gonna tell the team?” Miguel asks.

“I might as well,” Ryder answers.

Confessional (Ryder): I hope that now I can live as myself, not as this character my parents are forcing me to play.

They then walked back into their lounge.

“What’s going on?” Carly asks.

“Well guys,” Ryder answers, “I have an announcement to make.”

“And that is?” Tanya asks.

“I’m gay,” Ryder answers, “This whole womanizing playboy thing is a character I’m being forced to play by my parents.” The other players were shocked to learn that Ryder is gay.

“Wow,” Phoebe exclaims, “Your parents must really hate you.”

“Yeah,” Ryder replies, “They are highly homophobic. I pretend to be attracted to women just to please them.”

Confessional (Phoebe): I never knew that Ryder had that many problems in his life.

“Wow. I can’t imagine what that’s like,” Isaiah exclaims.

“It’s horrible Isaiah,” Ryder replies.

Confessional (Isaiah): I’m glad Ryder’s being himself right now.

Meanwhile at the Moon Team’s lounge the next morning, Gage woke up.

“Good morning kid,” Drake exclaims, “How’d you sleep?”

“Like a baby,” Gage answers.

“I wonder what today’s challenge will be,” Malik exclaims.

Confessional (Malik): It would be really cool if there was a science challenge or something. I want something that will allow me to showcase my talents.

“It better be fun,” Gage replies.

Confessional (Gage): I’m already in the Family Alliance with Drake, Kylie, and Winter, but I wanna keep my options open.

The team’s male members then got dressed and headed into the main area where the women were already sitting down, enjoying breakfast.

“They got a pancake maker!” Gage shouts.

“Yes we do kiddo,” Mikayla replies.

“Oh my God!” Gage shouts. Gage then got himself some pancakes with maple syrup on them.

“Let’s eat up,” Drake exclaims.

Confessional (Drake): I’m gonna need all the fuel in my tank I can get for today’s challenge.

“Will do,” Winter replies. The Moon Team members then started to eat their breakfast.

“This is so good,” Francois exclaims as he eats his pancakes.

Confessional (Francois): Pancakes never tasted this good.

“I know Francois,” Olga replies, “They do taste good.”
Confessional (Olga): Man, this is one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had.

“Everyone, please report to the courtyard for the next challenge!” Kristal shouts.

“Alright,” Gage replies, “It’s time to play!”

The players then arrived for the next challenge.

“This challenge is a classic game of paintball,” Kristal exclaims, “Each team will be equipped with paintball guns and will try to eliminate players from the other team by shooting at them. Once a player has been hit, they’re out and must sit on the bench. The first team to eliminate every member of the opposing team will win immunity!”

“This will be so fun!” Gage shouts.

Confessional (Gage): Man, a paintball challenge? This’ll be great!

The players then grabbed their paintball guns along with goggles to protect their eyes.

“On your marks, get set, GO!” Kristal shouts as the players get into the arena.

“Miss Kristal,” Oliver exclaims, “Is this a good environment for paintball?”

“Of course it is Oliver,” Kristal answers.

Drake, Kylie, Winter, and Gage got together.

“Alright family,” Drake exclaims, “We need to stick together, right?”

“Right!” Winter, Gage, and Kylie answer.

“Good,” Drake replies, “Let’s hit them where they hurt.”

Confessional (Kylie): I love it when a man takes charge.

Carly, Cassie, and Tanya were together.

“Protect me at all costs,” Tanya exclaims, “I don’t want paint all over my fabulous hair.”

“Niether do I,” Cassie replies.

“Why did I get stuck with two girly girls?” Carly asks.

“Because we’re your friends Carly,” Cassie answers.

Confessional (Cassie): I’m starting to feel something between me and Carly. Could it be? 

Suddenly they were being fired on by Malik and Francois.

“Hit them!” Tanya shouts. The two hit both Cassie and Tanya.

“At least it didn’t get in my hair!” Tanya shouts.

“And with that Tanya and Cassie are the first two out of the challenge. The Sun Team is down to 6 members left,” Kristal exclaims.

“They got owned!” Malik shouts.

Confessional (Malik): I feel like I’m on a power trip right now.

“Watch out boys! I’m coming!” Carly shouts as she shoots both Francois and Malik.

“And with that Francois and Malik are out! The numbers are now tied 6-6,” Kristal exclaims. Tanya, Cassie, Francois, and Malik then took their spots on the bench.

Mikayla and Olga were walking together.

“What do you wanna do with the money if you win?” Mikayla asks.

“I’m gonna donate some of my winnings to charity to help kids with learning disabilities like I have,” Olga answers.

“You mean?” Mikayla asks.

“Yes,” Olga answers, “I have dyslexia. Because of it I hated school. My only saving grace was gym class so I decided I wanted to be an athlete. Now I’m competing for the Swedish national team.”

“In what sport?” Mikayla asks.

“Volleyball,” Olga answers.

Confessional (Olga): I feel like I can trust Mikayla. She seems like a sweet woman.

“Nice,” Mikayla replies, “My son had ADHD, so I can relate to your struggles.”

Confessional (Mikayla): Olga’s a nice girl. She’s struggled her whole life, and I’m proud of her for trying.

Meanwhile Hans and Isaiah were talking together.

“What’s up with you? What brought you here?” Hans asks.

“Well, I’m a basketball champion and a proud father,” Isaiah answers, “I’m coming out here for my family.”

“That’s very sweet,” Hans replies, “I wish I was a father.”

“What’s wrong?” Isaiah asks.

“Me and my wife have been trying for years to have kids,” Hans answers, “Eventually as it turns out she’s infertile and can’t carry any. So, one of my plans for the money is to adopt a kid and finally get to be a dad. I also want to reclaim my old fame from my days as the star of the Danish Olympic team.”

Confessional (Hans): I always wanted to be a father. But I guess it wasn’t to be.

Suddenly the four of them encountered each other.

“I’m gonna get you!” Olga shouts.

“Not if I get you first!” Hans shouts back. Soon the four of them shot each other.

“In one fell swoop Olga, Mikayla, Hans, and Isaiah are all out of the challenge. We’re now tied 4-4,” Kristal exclaims. Olga, Mikayla, Hans, and Isaiah then sat on the bench.

“We still got this guys. We can do it,” Drake exclaims.

Confessional (Drake): I’m gonna lead my team to victory!

Carly then ran up to them.

“Carly!” Kylie shouts.

“Goodbye suckers! I’m gonna win!” Carly shouts back.

“Oh no you’re not!” Kylie shouts. Kylie then shoots at Carly, but she dodges the pain shot and she shoots Kylie.

“Oh no! Kylie!” Winter shouts.

Confessional (Winter): Did I just….feel concern…for Kylie? I’ve never….gotten that close….with someone outside my family….before.

“You’re going down too!” Carly shouts back as she shoots Winter.

“Winter!” Drake shouts. Carly then aims her paintball gun at Gage.

“Say goodnight kid!” Carly shouts as Carly prepares to fire at Gage Drake jumped in front of him and took the shot. He in turn shot Carly.

“NO!” Carly shouts.

“You gotta win this Gage! Do it kiddo!” Drake shouts.

“I will!” Gage shouts back as he runs off.

Confessional (Gage): It’s all on me now. I’m the last member of the Moon Team.”

“And with that the Sun Team is up 3 to 1. Gage has a lot of work to do,” Kristal exclaims. Winter, Kylie, Drake, and Carly then took their spots on the bench.

“Did you hear that,” Ryder exclaims, “It’s just the kid left.”

“Yeah. We’ve got our work cut out for us,” Miguel replies.

Confessional (Miguel): Like, how good is this kid at paintball?

Gage was sneaking around, trying to avoid getting in the line of sight of Miguel, Ryder, and Phoebe. Suddenly Gage jumped out and shot both Ryder and Miguel. He took them completely by surprise.

“Hi!” Gage shouts.

“Gage!” Phoebe shouts back.

“Shoot him!” Ryder shouts, “Win this challenge!” Phoebe then froze.

“Can I shoot a kid?” Phoebe asks.

“What’s the matter? You can’t hurt a child?” Gage asks back. Gage then shoots her.

“And with that Gage wins the challenge for the Moon Team!” Kristal shouts.

“I didn’t see that one coming,” Oliver replies.

“You did it Gage!” Drake shouts.

“Thanks!” Gage shouts back.

Confessional (Gage): It feels good to win a challenge for the team.

Confessional (Tanya): Ugh! Phoebe has now cost us two challenges in a row!

“Sun Team, I will see you tonight at elimination where you will vote out the first player of the season,” Kristal exclaims.

Over at the Sun Team’s lounge, tempers flared.

“What is the matter with you! You’ve now cost us two challenges!” Tanya shouts.

“Lay off me! I just couldn’t hurt Gage!” Phoebe shouts back.

“It doesn’t matter that he’s a kid! He’s on the other team! You should’ve shot him!” Tanya shouts.

“Tanya, lay off her,” Isaiah exclaims, “This is not good for team unity.”

Confessional (Isaiah): Tanya is really blowing up on Phoebe right now. I feel bad for Phoebe. She doesn’t deserve any of this.

“What do you know about team unity?” Tanya asks.

“I’m a top ranked basketball player,” Isaiah answers, “I’ve led my team to multiple championships.”

“You don’t understand! I’m not like you!” Phoebe shouts.

“Oh yeah,” Tanya replies, “Then what are you?”

“I’m….I’m….,” Phoebe exclaims. Before she could continue Ryder interrupted her.

“Sure Phoebe cost us two challenges, but you’re not helping matters with your attitude!” Ryder shouts.

“Oh really biker boy,” Tanya replies, “I’ve done a lot more with my life than you ever will.”

Soon the players gathered on the front porch for the elimination.

“Welcome to elimination. Head over to the voting booth to cast your votes for who you want to vote out tonight,” Kristal exclaims, “Get voting!”

Confessional (Tanya, voting for Phoebe): This is for costing us two challenges.

Confessional (Isaiah, voting for Tanya): You really need to work on your attitude, lady!

“Alright. Once the votes are cast the person voted out will be asked to leave the mansion immediately. I’ll read the votes. First vote,” Kristal exclaims, “Tanya.”

“Phoebe,” Kristal exclaims.

“Tanya,” Kristal exclaims.

“Phoebe,” Kristal exclaims, “That’s two votes Tanya, two votes Phoebe.”

“Tanya,” Kristal exclaims.

“Oh my fucking god!” Tanya shouts.

“Tanya,” Kristal exclaims.

“First person voted out of Disventure Camp: Manor of Madness is,” Kristal exclaims, “Tanya. It’s time for you to go.”

“I hope you’re happy with this. You kept this useless, pathetic girl over me, one of the highest paid actresses in the world?” Tanya asks.

“Grow up Tanya,” Isaiah answers, “You’re not the center of everything.”

“No,” Cassie exclaims, “I don’t want you to leave. I’m your biggest fan.”

“At least someone gets me! I’m done with this stupid camp!” Tanya shouts as she walks off towards the Bus of Losers. She gets on as Marcus drives the bus away.

Confessional (Phoebe): I got nervous there for a second, but I’m glad everything worked out. In case you wanna know, I….I have autism. I don’t want the others to know. They’ll treat me differently for sure.

The bus then drops Tanya off at a bus stop.

“Thanks for the ride, weirdo!” Tanya shouts. Tanya then walks over to see a crossroads with two paths, a note, and a torch.

“If you feel that you are done with the game, take the left path to the motel. If you feel that you have a shot to get back in the game, grab the torch and take the right path to Rescue Island,” Tanya exclaims as she reads the note.

“Like I would really give up a million dollars, even if I am filthy stinking rich,” Tanya exclaims as she grabs the torch and heads off to Rescue Island.

A bus rides through the forest, carrying sixteen people from all corners of life and from across the world.

"This is so exciting!" Phoebe shouts.

"I know," Malik replies, "We're actually gonna play Disventure Camp."

"My kids are gonna be so excited to see me on TV," Mikayla exclaims.

"I would imagine so," Isaiah replies, "Mine would too." Mikayla then turns to the back of her seat and she sees a young boy sitting here.

"Aren't you a little too young for this?" Mikayla asks.

"Fiore played at the age of six. I'm ten," Gage answers.

"Oh yeah. Forgot about that," Mikayla replies.

"I'm hoping there's more mental challenges this time," Francois exclaims.

"I know you would say that," Cassie replies, "You look like a nerd."

"Yeah," Francois replies back, "I get that a lot."

Confessional (Francois): Bonjour everyone! I'm Francois. Everyone takes one look at me and they say 'that boy looks like a nerd'. And they're right, I am a nerd. And I'm proud of it.

Soon the bus stops in front of a large mansion.

"Alright everyone," Marcus exclaims, "We made it."

"I hope that puppet....isn't here," Winter replies. Nina then pops out.

"Miss me?" Nina asks. Winter then screamed in terror. The sixteen players then walked out of the bus.

"Welcome to Disventure Camp: Manor of Madness! I'm your host, Kristal McLane!" Kristal shouts.

"So, we're living in this giant house?" Drake asks.

"Bingo. As usual, you will compete in challenges and vote people out until only one player remains to claim the 1 million dollar prize," Kristal answers.

"I'm glad we're not living in the wilderness this time," Tanya exclaims.

"Yeah," Cassie replies, "I would never survive out there."

"And now, it's time for your teams. Carly, Cassie, Hans, Isaiah, Miguel, Phoebe, Ryder, and Tanya, you are the Sun Team. And Drake, Francois, Gage, Kylie, Malik, Mikayla, Olga, and Winter, you are the Moon Team. The team quarters are upstairs marked by a door with your celestial symbol on it. Downstairs we have the kitchen, living room, and the staff quarters, which is off limits to all of you," Kristal exclaims.

"Now," Kristal exclaims, "Head off to your quarters. Your first challenge begins tomorrow." The Sun team then arrives at their quarters. It was a small lounge area with a couch, TV, table and chairs, along with an air hockey table, pool table, and some arcade cabinets. Two doors led to the bedrooms.

"It's livable," Tanya exclaims.

Confessional (Tanya): I'm the biggest model in all of Canada. Of course my living space needs to fit to my standards.

Ryder then walks over to her.

"I know," Ryder replies, "And the best part of this is, I'm here." Ryder then tries to cuddle Tanya.

"Uh, do you know what personal space means?" Tanya asks.

"Oh sorry," Ryder answers.

Confessional (Ryder): I'm good with the ladies myself. It's something I pride myself on.

Hans then walks into the men's bedroom.

"Bunk beds? Really?" Hans asks.

"What else do you expect, man?" Miguel asks back.

"I just think this is a little too juvenile for me," Hans answers.

"I get it," Isaiah replies, "You must have a lot of pent up issues."

Confessional (Hans): Of course I do. I used to be the shining star of the Danish Olympic team. Now, I'm just a washed up has been.

"Yes I do," Hans replies back.

"I do too," Miguel replies back, "We all have problems. I was roped into a gang at the age of 15."

"Seriously?" Isaiah asks.

Confessional (Isaiah): Man. Miguel has been through a lot.

"Yep," Miguel answers, "Back in my home country of Honduras. But, I decided that life wasn't for me. So, I ratted my fellow gang members out to the cops and I fled to the US, where I now work as a computer programmer."

"You're one fascinating person," Hans replies.

Confessional (Miguel): I'm glad I'm surrounded by nice people.

Meanwhile Carly, Cassie, Phoebe, and Tanya got their stuff put in the girls' room.

"Aren't you the model and actress Tanya Clark?" Cassie asks.

"Yes I am," Tanya answers, "Only the best and brightest model in all of Canada." Cassie then exploded in excitement.

"Oh my God! I'm your biggest fan! I've seen your movies," Cassie replies.

Confessional (Cassie): I can't believe that I'm meeting the Tanya Clark!

"Oh nice," Tanya replies back, "I always love interacting with fans."

“That’s awesome!” Cassie shouts. Phoebe soon pulls out her GBA.

“What is that thing Phoebe?” Carly asks.

“It’s my Game Boy Advance,” Phoebe answers, “I never leave home without it.”

“OK then,” Carly replies, “Isn’t that, like, old?”

“I don’t care. In fact, I love all things retro!” Phoebe answers.

Confessional (Phoebe): I’m a huge lover of all kinds of retro media, particularly from the 90s and early 2000s. Movies, TV, video games, I love it all!

The Moon Team arrives at their quarters. It was similar to the quarters for the Sun Team.

“Nice place we have here,” Olga exclaims.

“Yeah,” Winter replies, “I hope I can….get to know you.”

“You must not talk to people often,” Mikayla exclaims.

“Yeah,” Winter replies as the girls get their stuff in their rooms.

“I bet my kids would love this,” Mikayla exclaims.

Confessional (Mikayla): This place looks like it’s made for a kid.

“You don’t need to bet. We’ve got a kid with us,” Olga replies.

Confessional (Olga): I’m an Olympic volleyball player. I know I’ll carry this team in challenges.

“I also see there’s a forest nearby,” Kylie exclaims, “It’s good for nature walks.”

“I see you….like the….outdoors?” Winter asks.

“Yeah Winter,” Kylie answers, “I’m a wildlife conservationist and I have my own TV show where I explore the world and showcase the amazing creatures who inhabit it.”

“That’s cool Kylie,” Mikayla replies, “Maybe I should watch your show sometime.

“You should Mikayla,” Kylie replies back.

Confessional (Kylie): I’m upset to know that we’re not surviving in the wilderness this time. At least I can take some forest walks whenever I want.

The guys soon found their room as well.

“Well, looks like we got our sleeping quarters,” Drake exclaims.

“Were you in the army by any chance?” Malik asks, “I can see your dog tags.”

“In fact, I was,” Drake answers, “I retired a couple years ago with full honors. I fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

“Awesome,” Malik replies.

Confessional (Malik): Having someone with military experience around here is great. We’ve effectively got a leader.

“I’ve got everything I need to keep myself busy here,” Francois exclaims, “How about you kid?”

“Yes I do,” Gage answers, “I got some toys and games here.”

“I can’t believe they let a child compete in this,” Drake exclaims.

“Well, they let a six year old play a couple of seasons ago,” Gage responds.

“I know about that,” Drake replies.

Confessional (Gage): Unlike Fiore I am as cute and sweet and innocent as I look. I’m just a really playful kid with a high amount of adrenaline.

“So, what makes you special?” Malik asks.

“I happen to be a massive thrill seeker and a lover of extreme sports,” Gage answers.

“Are your parents OK with that?” Drake asks.

“Yeah. They usually support what I do,” Gage answers.

Confessional (Drake): Man. Gage has some lenient parents.

Soon it was the next day and everyone was gathered outside.

“Welcome everyone to your first challenge,” Kristal exclaims.

“Are we gonna vote someone out?” Hans asks.

“No,” Kristal answers, “This challenge is for reward. I’m letting you off easy.”

“Nice,” Carly exclaims, “So what’s the challenge?”

“For today’s challenge, you will pick three members of your team to participate in each of the three stages. The first stage is physical. You will have to navigate an obstacle course which includes a mud crawl, a rock wall. and a balance beam. Then, the next member tags in. They will have to scale a vertical wall collecting bags of puzzle pieces as they ascend. Then, the third and final member must use those pieces to solve a puzzle. This is a strategic game. Based purely on first impressions, who do you think is best suited for each challenge?” Kristal answers.

“I’ll do the first part,” Drake exclaims.

“That’s a given,” Olga replies, “You are ex-military after all. I’ll do the second part. Francois, you can do the puzzle, right?”

“Yep,” Francois answers.

“I’ll handle the first part,” Hans exclaims.

“Neat! I’ll do the second!” Carly shouts.

“And I’ll do the puzzle!” Phoebe shouts.

“And that’s settled. Doing the first part of the challenge we have Hans for the Sun Team and Drake for the Moon Team. Doing the second part of the challenge we have Carly for the Sun Team and Olga for the Moon Team. Finally, on the puzzle we have Phoebe for the Sun Team and Francois for the Moon Team. You’ll be playing for Chinese takeout, delivered right to your team quarters,” Kristal exclaims.

“I can already taste the takeout,” Mikayla exclaims.

Confessional (Mikayla): My kids love Chinese food. We better win this!

“Ready, set, go!” Kristal shouts as Hans and Drake make their way through the obstacle course. After making their way through a few hurdles and beams the two arrive at the mud crawl. Drake was used to this, due to him being ex-military, but Hans wasn’t far behind.

“I better pick up the pace,” Drake exclaims.

Confessional (Drake): I haven’t felt this much pressure since my army days.

Drake made it through first and he eventually got to the rock wall. Hans however was right on his tail. The two men then started climbing up the rock wall.

“Give up. You’re going up against the 2004 Men’s 200 Meter Gold Medal winner,” Hans exclaims.

“You forget I’m ex-military,” Drake replies, “I’ve been through worse experiences than a simple race.”

Confessional (Hans): How am I losing? Am I really losing my touch?

The two men then made it to the top and slid down. They made their way to the balance beams.

“Let’s see if you got what it takes, Lieutenant,” Hans exclaims.

“My final rank was actually brigadier general,” Drake replies. The two then made their way across the balance beams. Hans then fell off. Drake’s army training gave him a great balancer. Hans was forced to start again as Drake made it across.

“It’s all yours Olga,” Drake exclaims.

“Alright,” Olga replies as she starts to climb up the wall. Hans made it across.

“Time for you to go Carly!” Hans shouts.

“Alright Hans,” Carly replies.

Confessional (Carly): Looks like all the time I spent climbing trees is gonna come in handy.

The two girls then continued climbing up the wall. They grabbed the first bag.

“See ya later, loser!” Carly shouts. A furious Olga then continued to climb.

Confessional (Olga): What’s this girl’s problem? 

The two girls then reached the second bag. They were neck and neck.

“This is a close challenge,” Mikayla exclaims.

“Yeah,” Gage replies, “I have no idea who’s gonna win.”

“I don’t like your attitude,” Olga exclaims.

“Well, you didn’t have to live with a mother who hates everything you do,” Carly replies.

Confessional (Carly): Everything I do is to get away from my mum. She never liked my interests and she always wanted me to be more girly. Well mum, I don’t care. I’ll be me.

The two girls then reached the third and final bag. They both grabbed it.

“I’m gonna beat you to the top!” Carly shouts.

“No! I will!” Olga shouts back. Eventually the two girls reached the top.

“Here’s the bags,” Carly exclaims, “You go win us some sweet Chinese food retro girl.”

“Francois! You can do it!” Olga shouts. They then hand the bags to Phoebe and Francois.

“Will do,” Phoebe exclaims. The two of them then started to put together the twenty piece puzzle. Phoebe started to get frustrated after she put four pieces in.

“How do you do this?” Phoebe asks. Meanwhile Francois was putting his puzzle together with relative ease. 

“Come on Phoebe!” Tanya shouts.

“I don’t know!” Phoebe shouts back. Phoebe continues to get frustrated as Francois solves the puzzle.

“Moon Team wins the reward!” Kristal shouts.

“YES!” Drake shouts.

“Aww come on!” Tanya shouts back.

Back at the Moon Team’s quarters, the players were enjoying the Chinese takeout they won.

“This is so good,” Mikayla exclaims.

Confessional (Mikayla): If the rewards are gonna be this delicious, we should keep winning.

“I know,” Malik replies, “Rice never tasted this good.” Once they were finished eating, Kylie got Drake, Winter, and Gage to gather outside.

“What’s…this all about?” Winter asks.

Confessional (Winter): Does someone….really want to include me….in an alliance?

“I’ve got a good feeling about all of you,” Kylie answers, “And we pretty much look like the typical nuclear family.”

“Exactly,” Drake replies.

“So you want us to form an alliance together?” Gage asks.

“Yes little boy,” Kylie answers, “That’s exactly what I’m talking about. Us four united together can take control of the game.”

Confessional (Kylie): I know a thing or two about strategy. When you’re looking for rare animals, you need to plan ahead of time. Rushing in will startle them and things will go horribly wrong.

“I’m in,” Drake replies.

“So am I,” Gage replies.

Confessional (Gage): I think this family alliance is a good idea.

“I guess so,” Winter replies.

“Then that’s settled. The four of us are now the Family Alliance,” Kylie exclaims.

Meanwhile back at the Sun Team’s quarters Tanya was taking out her anger on Phoebe.

“What was that? You can’t even solve a simple 20 piece puzzle?” Tanya asks.

“It’s not a big deal,” Phoebe answers.

“Oh yes it is,” Tanya replies, “I would’ve loved to have Chinese food right now!”

“Tanya, get a grip!” Isaiah shouts.

Miguel then walks to the balcony, where Ryder was sitting down.

“Oh hi,” Miguel exclaims.

“Are you tired of that argument too?” Ryder asks.

“Yep,” Miguel answers, “I don’t want to see Tanya take her anger on poor Phoebe.”

“I know,” Ryder replies, “It was just too hard for her. That’s all.” Notably Ryder has a shirt off. Ryder then turns his back to Miguel, and Miguel sees something that shocked him.

“Ryder, are you really that?” Miguel asks.
