Plot
"Last time on Total Drama: Battle of the Sexes, the final seven participated in a race around the island. The twist? Visit five dangerous locations and grab the totems present at each. Without the totems, the contestants couldn't win. Jennifer and Josiah overcame their relationship hurdle, and it was totally dramatic! Romulus and Rosalie split up their alliance, and Romulus even managed to eliminate Rosalie in the same episode! The reason why Romulus wasn't eliminated? He and Rose, the perfect goody-goody, won the challenge! Today is a new day, and If I have anything to say about, it'll be a more dangerous one, too!

The final six were getting ready for bed.

In the girls' shelter, Jennifer and Rose were putting their hair into ponytails and buns, respectively.

"Can you believe we're the last two girls?" Rose asked.

"I know! It feels kind of lonely in here." Jennifer said.

"And can I just say that our odds aren't really in our favor." Rose sighed.

"What do you mean?" Jennifer asked, oblivious.

"Well, there are two girls." Rose said.

"Uh-huh." Jennifer said.

"And there are four guys." Rose said, "We're-"

"-Totally dying out." Jennifer sighed.

Rose nodded.

"This can't be a repeat of that boy-boy finale in season four. That would totally blow." Rose sighed.

"It would." Rose agreed.

Josiah took off his shirt, and jumped onto his bed.

The guys recently received bunk beds, as opposed to the floor.

"Hey, Josiah?" Corey asked, sticking his head out from the top bunk.

"Agh!" Josiah shouted, moving back.

"Shut up!" Dutch shouted.

"How am I supposed to enjoy our new mattresses with you two simpletons yapping all night?" Romulus asked.

"Sorry..." Corey said.

"What's up?" Josiah asked.

"Oh, um- What- How do you ask someone- Well, you see I want to ask Rose-" Corey said, confused.

"You want to ask Rose out?" Josiah asked, "But you don't know if she likes you or not?"

"Yeah. Exactly." Corey said.

"Good luck with that." Romulus laughed, "Rose is perfect. She's a total shoe-in for the finale. You're an awkward skater nerd with bad breath and a bad choice in hatwear."

Dutch laughed.

"Don't listen to them, guy." Josiah said, "Rose totally likes you. You just have to get the courage to-"

A loud airhorn went off.

"Agh!"

"D'ah!"

"What's happening?"

"What is that?"

The contestants ran out of their shelters and onto the beach, still in their sleepwear.

A figure stood in the middle of the beach wearing a black, heavy cloak.

The contestants screamed.

"Who is that?!" Rose cried.

"You mean, what is that?!" Josiah asked.

The figure turned to them and took off it's hood.

It was none other then the host, Chris McLean.

"What the heck, Chris? What's wrong with you?!" Dutch asked, completely angry.

"A lot of things." Chris laughed, "But this ties in with today's challenge!"

"Didn't we already have an ugly costume challenge?" Romulus asked, "Oh wait. No. That was just you in a tracksuit."

"Very funny." Chris said, rolling his eyes.

"Why are we having another night challenge?" Rose asked.

"We already had one!" Corey pointed out.

"Well, I didn't feel as if that one was very satisfying." Chris said.

The contestants moaned and groaned.

"Are you kidding me, McLean?" Dutch asked.

"Relax. Just follow me." Chris said, leading the way to their destination.

"Wait! Can't we change first?" Jennifer asked, shivering in her tank-top and pajama shorts.

"Nope! No changing!" Chris laughed, "That makes it more fun!"

"Aw man!" Josiah said.

"Let's go! We don't have all night!" Chris shouted.

The contestants grumbled and followed Chris.

"It sure is cold out." Rose said, shivering.

"Oh! I'm not sure if this'll help, but take my beanie!" Corey said.

"No, I couldn't-" Rose began.

"No, please! I insist!" Corey said.

"Well- okay." Rose said, putting the beanie on.

Jennifer and Josiah passed Corey and Rose.

Josiah flashed a thumbs up.

Corey did the same.

"What was that about?" Rose asked, confused.

"Oh... nothing." Corey said, smiling like an idiot.

They walked faster.

Behind them, Dutch had his hands in his sweat's pockets.

'''Dutch Confessional: All of these couples aggravate me. *shivers*'''

Romulus caught up to Dutch and smiled.

"Hey there." Romulus said.

"What do you want, freak?" Dutch asked.

"I think..." Romulus said, slowing down.

Dutch stopped walking.

"That we should form an alliance." Romulus hushed.

"An alliance? With you?" Dutch asked.

He snorted.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Romulus asked, crossing his arms.

"You did just eliminate your closest ally. That's a bonehead move." Dutch laughed.

"That's why I need a new one." Romulus said, "And you, sir, are all alone in this game. We could be fairly good for each other."

"I'll think about it." Dutch said, rolling his eyes.

"What is there to think about? It won't be forever! It's only until we can eliminate at least one person from each of those couples." Romulus said.

"Fine." Dutch said.

The two shook hands.

'''Romulus Confessional: I was totally desperate. I hate Dutch more then anyone else left in the game. He's arrogant and a total butt-face. But I need an ally. I eliminated Rosalie because she was my biggest threat. Now, I just have to eliminate the couples. Josiah is strong and quite likeable. He's a total threat. Jennifer is quiet and kind of stupid. She's no threat at all. Corey is kind of just there, not a big problem. Rose? Ugh, she's the definition of perfect. She can do anything and that's a problem. She's a total shoe-in for the finale if I don't eliminate her soon.'''

The contestants were lead to a decomposing old English mansion.

"Here it is!" Chris said.

"Are you saying there was a house here the whole time and you had us live in shacks?" Josiah asked.

"Yup!" Chris laughed.

Romulus groaned.

"But this isn't a place you can live! It's structurally unsound," Chris said, "Not to mention it's totally haunted."

"What?!" All six contestants asked.

"Yup! A long time ago, a group of English colonists came to inhabit this island. They were led by Sir. Gregory Martin! But only a year after they arrived, they were all killed by the natives." Chris explained.

"The HaskSok!" The contestants cried.

"Yup! Or the ones they were based off of anyways." Chris said.

"Oh yeah... I keep on forgetting they're actors." Jennifer said.

"Anyways!" Chris said, "They were killed in this mansion! I sent Chef in there a few days after we found it and he said the ghost of Sir. Gregory Martin is still in there, looking for revenge! He lost five of the seven interns he took in there with him!"

"Now that we're done with story time, what's our challenge?" Romulus asked.

"Your challenge is to stay the night in that mansion! Explore if you want! Or don't, I really don't care! If one of you manages to make it out alive, you'll win! But be careful! The ghost of Sr. Gregory Martin will be on the hunt for new victims! It is the anniversary of his death, ya know!" Chris said. "To help you out, I'm giving you guys flashlights, ESP devices, and ghost detectors!"

Chris brought out a box of flashlights, ESP devices, and ghost detectors.

The contestants grabbed the tools.

"I don't feel right about this." Jennifer sighed.

"It is the anniversary of his death. Can't we come back another day?" Rose asked.

"Nope! It has to be today, get in!" Chris said.

The contestants grumbled, walking into the mansion.

Chris slammed the door and locked it.

"What?!" Jennifer asked.

"What the heck, Chris! You can't just lock us in here!" Josiah shouted.

"Against Union Rules!" Romulus shouted.

"Screw Union Rules!" Chris laughed.

The contestants turned around, looking at the house.

It was moldy, old, and decomposed.

Portraits of a man and his family lined the walls.

The wallpaper was peeling and the portraits were crumbly.

The staircase had giant holes on many stairs.

"Oh crap." Dutch sighed.

"Well... now's not the time to stand around." Corey said.

"Wanna look around?" Rose asked.

"Why not? We're already trapped here." Corey shrugged.

The two went up the stairs.

"Do you want to look around, too?" Josiah asked.

"Sure! But go ahead before me. I have to go to the bathroom." Jennifer said.

"Okay, no problem!" Josiah said, kissing Jennifer on the cheek.

Jennifer walked off.

Josiah walked in the opposite direction.

"You guys are all stupid." Romulus said, sitting on the couch in the den.

Dutch rolled his eyes and went down a hallway, looking for a place to loot.

Romulus sat in the den, looking around impatiently.

"Romulus." Whispered an unknown voice.

The boy looked around, wondering where it came from.

"Haha, very funny, Chris." Romulus said, rolling his eyes.

"Romulus, help me." The voice whispered again.

"Stop it! It's not even funny, it's kind of obnoxious." Chris said.

Rattling came from a room across the way.

Romulus rolled his eyes and got up.

"Oooh! There's a creepy monster or ghost in the room!" Romulus said, rolling his eyes, "So scary."

He made his way to the door.

Romulus hesitated.

He opened the door, and looked in.

"Hello?" Romulus asked.

Romulus was pulled into the room, screaming his head off.

The door slammed shut.

Dutch ran into the den, looking around.

Romulus was no one in sight.

Dutch shrugged and walked away.

Upstairs, Corey and Rose were looking around.

"What do you think is in that room?" Corey asked.

"Who knows?" Rose said, "Wanna check it out?"

"Yes, please!" Corey said.

They walked down a narrow hallway.

In front of them, was a single door.

Rose opened it and stood back.

Behind the door was a large bedroom.

It was glamorous and regal.

"This room kind of reminds me of Rosalie!" Corey laughed.

Rose giggled.

The duo walked in and looked around.

Rose sat down on the bed and her eyes widened.

"What?" Corey asked.

"T-the bed." Rose whispered.

"What is it?! Is there a dead body in it or something?!" Corey asked.

"N-no... it's just..." Rose stumbled.

"What? What is it?!" Corey asked, walking closer.

"Amazing!" Rose cheered, "Feel it! It's like sleeping on a cloud!"

Rose pulled Corey onto the bed.

Corey landed onto the bed and he relax.

A smile crept across his face.

"This is wonderful." He cooed.

"I know!" Rose cried.

She laid down on the bed.

Corey laid next to her.

"It's even better with you here with me." Corey said, smiling.

"Corey, I want to say-" Rose began.

"Before you do, can I ask you something?" Corey asked.

"Oh! Um, sure! Anything!" Rose said.

Corey hesitated.

'''Corey Confessional: Should I ask her? I mean, we are in a challenge! But- I just can't wait anymore! She's amazing, she's perfect she's-'''

"Will you go out with me?" Corey asked.

"Aww! Corey!" Rose cooed.

And that's when Rose kissed Corey straight on the lips.

They kissed for an estimated ten seconds before they separated.

"Is that a yes?" Corey asked.

"Of course it's a yes!" Rose chirped.

"Woo-hoo!" Corey cheered.

Rose giggled.

A shadow appeared over them.

"Hey! Who turned off the lights?" Corey asked.

The newly-formed couple looked over to see a tall, freakishly mutilated man staring at them.

He scowled.

The two screamed.

Josiah, Jennifer, and Dutch ran into the room.

There was nothing there.

No one was in the room.

All the contents of the room were gone.

It was empty and abandoned.

They screamed.

Sr. Gregory brought a burlap sack to a large tent and dropped it on the floor.

Corey and Rose popped out of that sack.

"Hey! What's the big idea?" Rose asked, rubbing her head.

The two observed their surroundings.

They were in a large tent.

In front of them stood Chris and in the corner, Romulus.

Chris was standing in front of a motherboard and a variety of monitors.

"Congrats! You're out!" Chris said.

"Huh?" Corey asked.

He looked up and saw Sr. Gregory.

"Agh!" He shouted.

"Relax, it's just Chef!" Chris announced.

Chef took off the rubber mask, and smiled.

He waved.

Rose got out of the burlap sack and stood up.

"Now what do we do?" Rose asked.

"Watch it all go down! There are still three people in there!" Chris said.

"This is stupid. I'm going back to the shelters." Romulus said.

"No you aren't!" Chris said.

He snapped his fingers, and two interns appeared, blocking the exit.

"They aren't even outside! They're locked in that house!" Romulus said.

"Still. I have to keep tabs on you guys." Chris said.

Romulus rolled his eyes.

"Okay, I don't know what happened to them!" Josiah asked.

"You don't think that it's-" Jennifer began.

"Ridiculous." Dutch said, "There is no such thing as ghosts."

At that very moment, the small table in the corner of the hallway floated in the air.

The three contestants screamed.

Josiah, Jennifer, and Dutch ran down the stairs.

Josiah slipped and fell into one of the holes in the staircase.

"Josiah!" Jennifer cried.

"Go on! Save yourselves! I'm stuck!" Josiah said.

"No, we can pull you out!" Jennifer said.

"We don't have time!" Dutch spat, pulling her away.

"Let go of me!" Jennifer cried.

"I love you!" Josiah cried.

He was then pulled into the hole, screaming his head off.

"Josiah!" Jennifer cried.

Sr. Gregory stuck his head out of the hole.

Dutch and Jennifer screamed.

"That's it! I'm out of here!" Dutch said, running at top speeds for an empty room.

"Hey, wait for me!" Jennifer cried.

"As if!" Dutch shouted.

He ran into a room and closed the door.

Jennifer raced to the door and banged on it.

"Let me in!" Jennifer shouted.

"Get out of here!" Dutch shouted.

He locked the door.

Sr. Gregory turned into the hallway.

"Hurry! Please! Let me in, you big jerk!" Jennifer shouted.

In the command center, the outed contestants and Chris were glued to the monitors.

Each had their own bag of popcorn.

"Run! Don't just stand there!" Rose called, throwing popcorn at the monitor.

"She's doomed!" Corey cried.

"What a jerk!" Josiah said, eating a handful of popcorn.

"Dutch, let me in! Please!" Jennifer cried.

Sr. Gregory came closer.

No answer from Dutch's end.

Jennifer screamed and threw the flashlight at Sr. Gregory's face.

"Get away!" She shouted, running past him.

She didn't check to see if the flashlight hit him or not.

She ran back up the stairs, until she saw the hole.

It was the perfect size for her to fit in.

She jumped into the hole and fell on the basement floor.

She rubbed her head and looked around.

She was surrounded by TNT.

"Whoa." Jennifer said.

Dutch stood in the room he locked himself in.

He heard nothing outside.

He turned around and explored the room.

It was a child's room, or so it appeared to be.

There was a small crib and a rocking horse.

In the corner was a toy chest.

Dutch walked over to a small wardrobe, and examined the pictures.

He heard a creaking sound behind him.

He turned and saw Sr. Gregory.

"Oh yeah?" Dutch asked.

He pulled out his flashlight.

He threw it and it hit the ghost in the head.

"Boom! You just got Dutched!" The bully shouted.

Sr. Gregory moved his head to the side and walked forward.

"Um." Dutch said.

He smiled.

The tall 'ghost' lunged and Dutch screamed.

He grabbed the rocking horse and hit the ghost in the head with it.

He passed out.

Dutch reached down and pulled off the mask.

"Chef? Are you kidding me?" Dutch asked.

Dutch walked into the tent, holding the mask.

"Nice try, Chris." Dutch laughed.

The other contestants clapped half-heartedly.

Chef followed after Dutch, rubbing his head.

"Nice job! It looks as if you won the-" Chris began.

"Wait! Where's Jennifer?" Josiah asked.

"I didn't catch her!" Chef said.

"So that would mean-" Rose began.

"She's still in the mansion!" The others replied.

"That place is structurally unsound!" Chris began.

They all looked at the monitors, looking at each of the cameras.

And they finally found Jennifer.

Jennifer smirked.

She was in the basement, with a box of matches.

'''Jennifer Confessional: I had to get the ghost out of there! The only way? Destroy the house! Duh!'''

She lit a match and dropped it in a crate of TNT.

She then ran out of the exit door, in which Chef used to remove Josiah.

Jennifer ran outside.

The other contestants, Chris, and Chef ran to the mansion.

"Jennifer!" Josiah said, waving.

"Hey guys!" Jennifer said waving.

"What did you do?" Chris asked.

"I set the house on-" Jennifer began.

A loud explosion was heard.

Chunks and pieces of walls and roof rained down on them.

"Agh!" Dutch cried.

The contestants and Chef looked at Chris.

He was speechless.

"Yes!" Chris eventually shouted, "Woo-hoo!"

"Huh?" The six contestants asked.

"I've been waiting to get of that huge mansion since I found it last week! I thought you guys being in there would make it collapse! Now I can finally install the- Here it comes now!" Chris said pointing.

Two helicopters appeared, dropping a modern looking cottage and an impressive resort-like lodging.

"A place for me and a place for the winner!" Chris said.

"Finally. No more shelters." Dutch said, "And I'm the first one to stay in it!"

"Nope! Jennifer wins this challenge! She's the one who made it explode after all!" Chris said, hugging her. "Thank you!"

"Oh- um. No prob!" Jennifer said.

"What?! No way! I won-" Dutch began.

"Save it." Chris said.

"So, who's getting eliminated?" Rose asked.

"No elimination ceremony tonight! I'm too happy! Jennifer, you can take someone with you to the Winner's Cottage!" Chris said.

"Oh!" Jennifer said, "I pick Josiah!"

Josiah smiled and hugged his girlfriend.

"The rest of you! Get back to the shelters!" Chris said.

The other contestants trudged off.

"That's it for today's episode! Come back for more drama, backstabbing, and love in the next installment of Total Drama: Battle of the Sexes!" Chris announced, "I'm Chris McLean, your host, singing off.
