Alex's POV
LeShawna, Scarlett and I were in the girls cabin trying to console Gwen about Trent leaving.
"Girl, you have got to get Trent out of your head!" LeShawna said
"I know... I just miss him so much!" Gwen sniffled
"Well Gwen, nothing heals a broken heart like revenge" Scarlett smirked
Confessional
Alex: Normally I'm against revenge, but revenge against Heather? *Smirks* That's a different story
Scarlett: I know that i'm seen as a manipulative mastermind who values winning over everything else, and I am, but I feel genuienly sorry for Gwen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We met down at the dock for the next challenge.
"Today's challenge is the classic game of hide and seek" Chris announced "You've got ten minutes to hide before Chef Hatchet comes to find you. With his military training and advanced degree in manhunting, he is uniquely qualified to make this game excruciatingly hard".
"What's with the water gun?" Duncan asked
"The lifeguard chair is home base When he finds you, chef will try and blast you. If you can escape his spray, you can try to run to home base, but if he catches you on your way, he'll douse you" Chris explained
"Ooooooo, so we'll get splashed by a bit of water, now I'm terrified" Duncan said sarcastically.
"Why don't you demonstrate Chef?" Chris smirked. Chef blasted Chris with water, forcing him to the end of the dock "NOT ON ME DUDE!!!!!!!!!" Chris yelled angrily.
You deserve it dude.
"So how exactly do we win this challenge?" Heather asked impatiently.
"You got three options, don't get found in your hiding spot, two, run to home base before Chef blasts you, three, once you've been caught, help Chef find the other campers. Do any of those and you win invincibility! All clear?" Chris asked
"Ummmm" Lindsay said, raising her hand
"You got ten minutes to hide! Go!" Chris said, ignoring her. We all ran off to hide.
"You know any good hiding spots?" I asked Scarlett
"Wouldn't you like to know" she smirked mysteriously, before running off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was wandering through the woods. Someone pulled me into a cave
"What the heck-" I started to say. Someone put their hand over my mouth. I bit it.
"Ow! Damn it Alex" Duncan cursed, pulling his hand away.
"Why did you just drag me into a cave?" I asked
"Just something I need to talk to you and the rest of the guys about" Duncan said, looking out the entrance of the cave.
"And it couldn't wait until, oh I don't know, some time when we aren't being chased down by a psychotic Chef with a 'Degree in manhunting?'" I asked, starting to leave.
"You wanna be the next one sent home?" Duncan asked, freezing me in my tracks "Because if you leave, I can make that happen."
"Fine" I grumbled, brushing some dirt off a rock and sitting down.
Duncan pulled Geoff, Dj, and own into the cave.
"Nice hiding spot guys! Yeah!" Owen cheered
"Listen up boys, we're in trouble, ok? There are seven chicks on the island and only five guys" Duncan explained.
"I know right, nice odds!" Geoff cheered. Duncan slapped him upside the head.
"No butt brain, bad odds!" he said in exasperation "If I noticed it, chances are sooner or later they're gonna notice it too, and when that time comes, they're gonna pick us off one by one".
"It's not like they're exactly getting along." I pointed out "remember this morning?" I asked Dj.
Flashback
Inside the bathrooms Heather turns a tap on
'Ahhh! Who turned the hot water on?' Gwen yells from the showers.
'Oops. Sorry' Heather smirks. LeShawna slaps her in the face. They start wrestling on the ground.
'Go Leshawna!' Scarlett cheers, filming it on her phone
Outside the bathrooms Dj and Alex are standing there with worried expressions
End of flashback
"I don't know dude... me and Bridgette kinda hooked up. I feel bad joining an alliance without her..." Geoff said doubtfully
"Let me tell you the truth about women. They're all sisters, and when push comes to shove, they're gonna stick together. Haven't you ever seen a chick flick before?" Duncan asked
"No, but I'm flabbergasted that you have" I said
"I have, but..." Owen started
"Look dude, now's the time! When they don't see it coming, when we have the element of surprise!" Duncan said
"I'm not sure..." Owen said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duncan held him above a tiny, like, less than a meter ledge.
"Are you sure now?" he asked
"Yes! Ok! Ok!" Owen said
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Good. Now that we're all agreed, guys unite to save our butts from elimination" Duncan said, putting his hand out. Owen and Dj put their hands on.
"Um, you two in?" Duncan asked Geoff and I
Confessional
Alex: I'm already in an alliance with Scarlett, but this could be useful down the road
End
"Sure, why not" I said, putting my hand on the pile. Geoff hesitantly put his hand on mine.
"I am so psyched! A dudes alliance! It's so manly!" Owen cheered "C'mere!". He kissed the tops of Dj and Duncan's heads.
Ladies and gentlemen, here is what we call a Bicon.
They gave him a confused look.
"Alright, now clear out!" Duncan said
"What?" Geoff said
"I was here first man. This is my hiding spot" Duncan said.
The rest of us left the cave
"Where're you gonna hide?" Geoff asked me. I shrugged
"Probably up a tree or something" I said.
"Nice idea!" Geoff said, before running off.
I walked to a tree and pulled my boots off before tossing them in a nearby bush before climbing up the tree. When I got to the top, I jumped to another. I continued to jump from tree to tree until I had traveled a decent distance
Confessional
Alex: Chef'll find my foot prints and follow them to the tree, thinking I'm up in it. Then, he'll hopefully try to climb it which would give me some time to run to home base. And if you're wondering why I took my shoes off, I just climb better with bare feet
End
Chef walked past the tree. I waited about two minutes until I was sure he was gone, before jumping down from the tree and starting to run to the lifeguard chair. I was suddenly drenched.
"Good plan, sorry I've got good hearing" Chef smirked.
Dang it.
"Guess that's everyone" Geoff said
"What about LeShawna and Scarlett?" Owen quetioned
"Huh? But I searched everywhere." Chef said. he gasped. "The water".
We ran down to the dock, only to see LeShawna in the life guard chair, and Scarlett leaning on it.
"What took you so long sugar?" LeShawna smirked
Everyone cheered.
"Alrighty campers, game's over. Time to pick The loser an vote them off. Heather, Leshawna and Scarlett have immunity, so I better not see any votes for them" Chris said
"Damn it" Duncan muttered.
We started walking back to our cabins. I pulled Scarlett aside.
"Duncan formed an alliance with the rest of the guys to pick the girls off one by one. You guys might have to vote as a group to send them home. I'll vote for Duncan" I said quickly, before running off to the rest of the guys.
Confessional
Scarlett: Very glad I formed an alliance with Alex.
End
The guys and I met on the docks to discus who to vote for. Well, I just came to keep up the charade that I was actually in their alliance.
"So it's agreed. We vote Bridgette off" Duncan said
"wait! She could still be an asset to us!" Geoff said
"Oh really? You dig the way she smells right now?" Duncan asked. Apparently, Bridgette had gotten sprayed by a skunk, and now smelt terrible.
"Why don't we vote Heather off? She's got dirt on all of us dude" Geoff said "Or Scarlett, that girl's smarter than all of us combined".
"Because we can't, they both have invincibility" I explained
"Besides, everyone likes Bridgette, and she's great at sports. We might not get another chance dude" Duncan added "All in favor of booting Bridgette?".
Dj, Owen and I nodded.
"That settles it. Cheers to the guys alliance" Duncan smirked "Geoff?"
Geoff bit his lip, before agreeing
Scarlet's POV
I told the other girls that the guys had formed an alliance.
"Can you hear us out there Bridgette?" LeShawna called to Bridgette. Bridgette had gotten sprayed by a skunk, and smelt absolutely revolting.
"Yeah" Bridgette called
"Sorry we had to keep you out there. We just can't stand that smell" LeShawna apologized
"It's ok. I understand" Bridgette called
"The guys are teaming up against us, and as much as it makes me want to regurgitate everything I have ever eaten, we'll have to vote as a group in order to send them home" I said
"I say we take out Duncan! He's mean, and I'd tell him that to his face!" Bridgette called
"that would be helpful, as he was the one who formed the guy's alliance" I nodded
LeShawna nodded "Yeah. I don't trust that little criminal" she said. Gwen nodded
"Speaking of trust, I don't trust that Alex. He's always smiling and happy, it's creepy and unnatural. I say we ditch him" Heather said "Lindsay?"
"Alex. Yeah." Lindsay agreed, not looking up from painting her nails.
"Alex may be good in some challenges, but he has showcased that he isn't especially good in others. Besides, if only two of you vote for him against five boys, he won't go home and your votes would be wasted. It would be more beneficial for us all to vote as a group" I said
"Ok, so let's all just vote for him. You guys in?" Heather asked.
LeShawna, Gwen and I shook our heads. "No!" Bridgette yelled
"Fine. Then let the chips fall where they may" Heather said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were at the elimination ceremony. Everyone had marshmallows except for Alex, Duncan and Bridgette.
"There are only two marshmallows left on this plate. You each racked up a lot of votes" Chris said "The next marshmallow goes to..."
Just give it to Alex, you moron.
"Alex" Chris finally said. Alex breathed a sigh of relief before getting his marshmallow.
"Like i said, wasted votes" I whispered to Heather.
"The final marshmallow of the night goes to..." Chris said
.
.
.
"Duncan!".
Duncan grinned and took his marshmallow.
"Ok. that was a shocker. Even I'm shocked, and I knew the answer!" Chris said.
Confessional
Scarlett: wait a second... if me, LeShawna, Gwen, Alex and Bridgette all voted for Duncan, there should have at least been a tie... either someone's a traitor, or something suspicious is going on...
Chris: *Laughs* As if I'm gonna send Duncan home after he formed his alliance! *Laughs again*
End
Bridgette got her stuff and went down to the dock.
"Bridgette, I'm gonna miss you" Geoff said
"Me too! So you didn't vote me off?" Bridgette asked hopefully
"No way!" Geoff said
"You didn't?" Duncan asked angrily
"I could never vote you off babe! You're my girl!" Geoff smiled
"Awww, I believe you!" Bridgette smiled.
They started walking towards each other and were about to kiss, but Geoff ran away because of Bridgette's skunk smell.
"Ouch. That's cold" Alex remarked.
"Yeah" I agreed
Bridgette got on the boat and it pulled out of sight.
