User:Jakusz/Lightning's alliances

This article focuses on Lightning's alliance which was created in Total Drama Around the World by Lightning.

Overview
Lightning formed an alliance with others to help eliminate threats and his biggest enemy.

Indian Dance
Lightning proposes the alliance to Alejandro so Lightning can try to take out Sadie. Alejandro agrees to join but wont eliminate her because she is his only ally at the moment.

Australian Rivals
Before the elimination ceremony, Lightning tells Alejandro to eliminate Sadie. At the elimination ceremony, the votes were revealed to be a 2-1 vote due to Lightning (already in the alliance) and Beth (eventually joins the alliance) voting for Sadie (as she was a bigger and meaner target than Zoey was), eliminating her. The alliance had caused its first elimination.

Aloha, Merge!
After Chris announces the merge, Lightning asks Anne Maria and Beth to join, to which they both agree to. Zoey becomes a target when she attacks Lightning and Beth for eliminating Sadie in the last episode, arguing with Anne Maria for the entire episode, and creeping them out fro her actions in the last 2 episodes. Later during the elimination ceremony, Zoey is eliminated thanks to Anne Maria convincing two out of three into eliminating her. The alliance had successfully caused their second elimination.

African Safari
Chris announces the final seven will vote to return some previously eliminated before the merge. Alejandro convinces the alliance to bring back Eva, with them being successful. They try to get Eva to join their alliance (which is the only reason they bought her back), but she refuses, as her hostility towards Alejandro and her random acts of anger proved she was hard to deal with. The alliance had caused another contestant's elimination after Alejandro told them all to target and eliminate Bridgette.

London the Ripper
Things got really tense between the alliance in this episode, as it is apparent that there are 2 sides to the alliance; Alejandro and Lightning on one side, and Anne Maria and Beth on the other side. Alejandro tells Lightning that Anne Maria rarely votes with them, and that they should consider getting rid of her, which Lightning tells her, and causes her to vote both of them off for elimination. The alliance agreed that Eva should leave (though Beth and Anne Maria were about to form an alliance with her) and all but one voted her off at the elimination ceremony. The alliance then loses its first member after Alejandro was eliminated with Eva.

Grand Slam, Home-Run, Hit, Strike, Foul and You're Out
The alliance is completely fractured, with Lightning finding out that Anne Maria and Beth betrayed them by ridding Alejandro, and blindsiding them with their votes. At this point, Anne Maria and Beth decide to form an official alliance together, leaving out Lightning. The alliance with Lightning officially ended for good after their leader, Lightning, mother bribed Chris into removing him from the competition.
