Nice run, Sam.

Bye, Lightning.

Okay!

I must say, I really enjoy your stories. ROTI, All-Stars, and PI, you’re actually making them even better than they were in canon. One question though: do you think Mal might show up the same way he did in Total Shuffled Pahkitew Island?

Later Sam!

I certainly hope we don’t meet Mal... if he even exists...

Gods above and below I HATED Lightning... he is just... so stupid!

Okay I LOVED the Pokemon parody, and the fact we got to see Brick and Zoey being friends. Also, Mike pulling out his fricking face medallion... that's just too funny.
Hmm, I know in canon next episode is supposed to have a team swap. I am SO curious as to how that's gonna play out here, especially since there's only two Bear members left. Scott and Jo swapping to mirror canon would be interesting, so I'll just jot that down as my hypothesis for now. Can't wait for the next ep!

Wow.. Sam got framed! That poor dude..
At least Dakota said goodbye to him.

Another great chapter. Nice job with he Pokemon battle.
Scott's definitely the villain of this story. Framing Sam was something I didn't see coming. I'm going to miss the gamer. Scott's going to have to work on his strategy because not only is Dawn very suspicious of him now, but Dakota may go after him if she finds out what he did to Sam.
Brick admitting he's got feelings for Jo is interesting. Jo getting a bit of character development is nice as well.

This episode was pretty good, I wasn’t expecting Sam to go home, and I think Brick and Dawn will make the merge. It’s likely that Cameron will go next. Mike will vote for Jo, Jo will vote for Cameron, Brick will too, he likes Jo and wouldn’t want to vote out Zoey’s friend. Zoey is rooting for Brick and Jo to get together, and she likes Mike, so Cameron it the only option. My prediction is that the merge will be Mike, Brick, Scott, Jo, Zoey, and Dawn.

Another awesome chapter, Animation Adventures! I totally did not see Sam's elimination coming! I almost thought you were going to have Scott plant Chris's stuff on Dawn just like in the canon and some other fanfictions, but I am glad that you pointed out that Dawn didn't have any pockets for Scott to plant the stuff in. I'm kinda surprised that Chris didn't look at the footage from the episode to see who actually stole his stuff, but then again, he probably just wants someone to blame regardless of the truth. Scott and Dawn are going to have a hard time winning the next challenge since its just the two of them now, but I bet Scott has no problem with that, though then again he might have to try to win the next challenge in case he can't beat Dawn in a tiebreaker. Excellent work with this chapter! Looking forward to the next one!

Oh before I forget Nice Pokemon references by the way and I like how Sam's hallucinations helped him instead of hinder him here and I don't know if you told us or not but who are the winners of the first 3 seasons in this fanfic's universe?

I'm fine with Sam going
I never liked him

Damn poor Sam he got screwed here by Scott especially after he won them the challenge but hey at least he got cut 6th like he expected to and he was never voted off (or be in the bottom 2 for that matter so good for him here) and I wonder why Chris didn't expect Scott 1st considering he and Chris bumped into each other he would have expected Scott to have them. Sadly I was thinking either Dawn or Sam would go here since I couldn't see any of the Kinosewaks leave here and you can't get rid of Scott so it just left those 2 although I was thinking Dawn since next episode I think you'll just have someone from Kinosewak (probably Zoey or if you want to do the Max and Scarlett joke move Brick instead) move to the Maskwaks to make things more fair and Scott would have try to buddy up with that person to ally with at the merge but with Dawn there she'll most likely warn them about being wary of Scott as opposed to Sam who would have been suffering from tech withdrawal to notice.

Nice to see some references from previous seasons at the beginning of the chapter (I squeed at Mr Coconut appearing not going to lie) and nice to see Manitoba finally appear I bet if Mike hadn't lost his luggage we would have seen him earlier and he'll be important next chapter based on the challenge and I guess Mike also thinks he got rid of Mal but he's wrong. Thanks for clearing up on the intern since I was wondering what the description was about and I really hope that Dakota follows through on finding out about Sam getting framed although sadly due to the short season there's no return for Sam but maybe she can give him some of her money as a way to make up for him getting framed since we know Chris sure as hell won't. I did like that beside the coin flip not happening that you didn't bother with the fakeout elimination ceremony since it never made sense for it to happen in canon when Ella was getting the boot anyways (not to mention the ceremony in Sky Fall wasn't needed since Jasmine was automatically eliminated for losing the challenge so maybe when we get to that chapter you can not do a ceremony there too).

Good to know that we agree on Jo facing Cameron in the finale should have happened (maybe we can make it a reality here?) and I see Mike's made the necklace for Zoey already (I feel like Zoey's getting eliminated in either chapter 8 or 9 since that could be a great way to get Mal released and while we won't get commando Zoey we can see Mike lose control of himself instead). Also it really sucks that Sam got wasted on All Stars since we could have a great plotline where the Villains and even some of the Heroes doubting his status as an All Star and why he was here over Brick or Owen (my headcanon is that Chris wanted to bring Owen back but Owen was on another reality show at that time and Chris couldn't legally get him so he settled for Sam instead) and maybe have him win some challenges for the Heroes, make it to the final 4, have him play a role in stopping Mal before getting eliminated and have him in that season prove why he's considered an All Star but like a lot of All Stars they dropped the ball with that and settled for him as a replacement Owen *sighs* oh All Stars what could have been.

Nice references to the previous seasons. By the way, I hadn't seen this elimination coming. I could see Dawn, Jo, or Brick being eliminated, but Sam being shot out the canon was completely out of the left field. Thank you for the fanfic recommendations. I hope you have a good 4th of July and a good weekend.
