What if in Episode 2 of the new Total Drama reboot, Axel survived over Ripper and became a finalist? Well, this is what I believe would happen! Feel free to provide suggestions for future what ifs or feedback in the comments! ELIMINATION ORDER (eps. 2-9): Episode 2: "Pirates of the Cabbagean" Losers: Ferocious Trout 15th: Ripper Axel, knowing she was in danger and knowing Priya wanted Ripper gone, decided to talk to Priya and Millie and asked them to vote off Ripper with her. Priya obviously agreed, and Millie did as well. But, Axel knew Chase and Zee were more likely to side with Ripper over her, so she had to get Scary Girl to vote for Ripper because Damien would just vote for himself. Axel talked to Scary Girl and asked her to vote for Ripper, and she agreed. In a 4-3-1 vote, Ripper was eliminated. After Ripper is sent away, Axel officially joins Priya and Millie's alliance. Episode 3: "Drown Town Abbey" Losers: Frogs of Death 14th: Nichelle I don't think Axel being here would change Nichelle having a breakdown and being exposed as a fake, so she would be eliminated at the same time. Episode 4: "Numbskull Island" Losers: Ferocious Trout 13th: Scary Girl Again, I don't think Axel being here would change Scary Girl giving the skull a makeover and costing the team the challenge, so she would still be voted off by everyone. Episode 5: "Jurassic Fart" Losers: Ferocious Trout 12th: Damien Damien would still be trying to get everyone to vote him off, and I feel like Axel would be okay with it because it just further confirms her safety. So, after Damien's heroic deed, everyone decides to honor his wish by voting him off. Episode 6: "The Launchback of Notre Game" Losers: Frogs of Death 11th: MK There is no reason for this to change, so Julia would still expose MK for watching everyone's confessionals, so she'd just get voted off as normal. Episode 7: "Severe Eggs and Pains" MERGE Immune: Axel (I can 100% see Axel winning this challenge, because she is a survivalist and has probably done things like this tons of times. She would probably do a lot better than Priya and Millie) 10th/9th: Wayne/Raj I know so far, every elimination has been the same, but Axel wouldn't have any control over Wayne and Raj being medically evacuated. So, they'd still be eliminated here. Episode 8: "The Wheel of Vomit" Immune: Julia (I don't see Axel doing as well as she did, and I feel like whoever Julia is up against in the tapeworm round she'd just do the same thing she did to Ripper and win) 8th: Chase In the past two eliminations, Emma and Chase have been called out by Chef with him saying that their love was nasty, and people didn't want to see the will they/won't they drama between them. I feel like Priya and Axel would realize that if Emma and Chase get together, it could be an obvious alliance and a threat to them, so they told Millie to vote for Chase with them. Emma already votes for Chase in this episode anyway as revealed in a confessional, and Emma would get Bowie to vote for him too. Julia would most likely vote for Chase for the same reason as Axel, Millie, and Priya, and Zee would just randomly vote for him. Episode 9: "Paddle Field Earth" Immune: Julia (I think instead of Julia and Bowie being stuck, Julia would be stuck with someone from the other alliance, it doesn't really matter who. Zee would still try and save them both, but get pulled in. Bowie would still probably taunt Julia by saying that 95% of her followers are bots, and she'd get up and beat the person from the other alliance) 7th: Zee Julia, Bowie, and Emma realized that Axel, Millie, and Priya are allies, and could easily pick them off. So, they would reluctantly form a temporary alliance for this episode only to try and keep themselves in the game. So, like the original, they would each try to get Zee on their side. Zee would join both alliances. In the elimination ceremony, Priya's group would want to target Bowie, and Bowie's group would want to target Priya. Right before the eliminated contestant is announced, Zee reveals he joined both alliances to pull them both together to vote for Chris. Bowie asks for a permission to revote, and weirdly enough, Chris agrees. Everyone votes for Zee, sending him home.

ELIMINATION ORDER (eps. 10-13): Episode 10: "The Truth, The Pole Truth, and Nothing but The Truth" Immune: Axel (Priya and Bowie would still lose early on, but Chase isn't here to knock Julia and Millie off. Millie would probably get off eventually, leaving Axel, Emma, and Julia. Julia revealed that her years of yoga are paying off, so she'd be thriving. Emma only won because Chase eliminated himself, Julia, and Millie at the same time, and I feel like against Julia and Axel, she wouldn't do as well. Out of Julia and Axel, I feel like after a while, Axel would beat Julia because she would have probably included something similar to this in her zombie apocalypse training.) 6th: Priya Despite Bowie and Emma really wanting Julia gone, they knew they had to weaken Priya's alliance. Axel was immune, and they knew Priya was a bigger threat than Millie. So, they had to reluctantly talk to Julia to vote for Priya, and she revealed she was already going to. Axel told her alliance to vote for Julia, because if they don't eliminate her now, she could keep winning immunities and win the million, which nobody wanted. So, that caused a tie between Priya and Julia, and Chris said their tiebreaker was based on individual immunity wins. Since Julia won twice and Priya never won, Priya was eliminated. Episode 11: "Tortoise Rigamortis" Immune: Julia (I feel like nobody would do as well as her, so she would win as normal) 5th: Bowie Since Chase wasn't in last episode, Bowie couldn't have voted for him, so there is no reason for Emma to be mad at him, so they would still be friends. Since Julia won immunity again, they deemed Axel as the biggest threat. Axel and Millie were still working together, and they decided Bowie was the biggest threat. So, that means Julia was the deciding vote. I feel like Julia would vote with Axel and Millie against Bowie, because she deemed Bowie as the bigger threat, and she didn't like him at all. Plus, Emma would be weakened. But Julia was still worried about Axel and Millie, so she had to find a way to split them up. Episode 12: "Caved by the Bell" Immune: Axel (Axel and Millie would go together, leaving Emma with Julia. I feel like Emma would do the same thing Bowie did the original, with her trying to sabotage the duo to get Julia out. But Julia would catch on, and I feel like Emma would cave and tell Julia she was trying to sabotage them to get her out. Julia would be super mad and lose focus on the challenge. Axel and Millie come out of the cave after them, but they have way more coins. Millie gives credit to Axel for getting most of the coins and says she can have the immunity) 4th: Julia Axel and Millie thought Julia was the bigger threat out of her and Emma, so they both voted for her. Emma voted for Julia as well, because she hated her. So, after Julia was eliminated, she was super mad. But she had a little present for Axel. It was Millie's notebook! Julia convinced Chris to let her stay to see Axel open the present, and he agreed. Axel opened it, and saw what Millie wrote about her and Priya, causing Axel to be very mad at her. Millie asked if she read the last page where she praises them both, and Axel flips to it, but there is nothing there. Julia laughs menacingly, and then tells Chris she is ready to leave. After the elimination, Axel shows Emma what Millie wrote about her, which turns Emma against her too. Episode 13: "Magma Cum Laude" 3rd: Millie Axel and Emma were very mad at her, so they kept sabotaging her. Axel made it first, Emma made it second, and Millie made it last. But, before Millie left, she broke down crying, sincerely apologizing to Axel and Emma saying that she realized how wrong she was and how she regretted everything. Axel didn't believe this and said that Millie was only apologizing because she got caught. But Emma decided to give her another chance. After she left the final challenge, she apologized to Priya and Priya forgave her just like the original. 2nd/1st: Emma/Axel Final Order: 16th: Caleb 15th: Ripper 14th: Nichelle 13th: Scary Girl 12th: Damien 11th: MK MERGE 10th/9th: Wayne/Raj 8th: Chase 7th: Zee 6th: Priya 5th: Bowie 4th: Julia 3rd: Millie 2nd/1st: Emma/Axel
