Depression is Contagious
I only own Bryan.
Bryan sat at the Screaming Gopher table in the Mess Hall with his chin on the table looking ahead forlornly. He missed Izzy, she was the first girl that he had been able to talk to and connect with. Plus she seemed to like him back which was most definitely a first. But they didn't get to spend much time together and he was very sad. Despite everyone (except for Heather) trying to cheer him up he still remained quite down and it was starting to get to everyone in different ways… except for the ignorant Owen who didn't understand why they were all upset. He was so upset that he hadn't eaten anything since Izzy left. He had told them what Chris had said which made Heather upset and also made Gwen quite happy.
"HELLO CAMPERS ISN'T IT A GREAT DAY?" Chris said when he entered the room.
Chris must have been planning something quite evil if he thought that today was good. It was very cloudy and had been since Izzy left, in fact the clouds kept getting darker and darker and Bryan smelt rain. He wasn't sure what Chris was planning but he expected it to be quite bad.
"Today you'll each be given several delicacies from different cultures around the world! But the thing is we might not tell you exactly what you're eating till afterwards! And Harold we've already made sure that nothing we've prepared is on your allergy list." Chris said with a big smile on his face "If you refuse to eat the food or you throw up you are eliminated. Your team wins if the other team loses all of its member or when we finish serving everything the team with the most members remaining is safe while the other team get to visit me at the campfire tonight."
"Whatever." Bryan grumbled.
"So in two hours come back here to start your challenge." Chris finished before leaving.
"This is gonna be AWESOME!" Owen shouted.
"Well I guess it could be worse. He could be making us eat some really disgusting foods." Heather said as she filed her nails.
"Heather I hate to tell you this but your definition of Delicacy and other cultures is very different." Bryan said from the table.
Two hours later and the everyone was back at the Mess Hall to find that the two tables were replaced by a small stage with red curtains and a microphone in the center. On each side of the microphone there was a long table with a seat for everybody one each team. Then Chris walked out dressed as a French chef followed soon by Chef who was dressed… normally.
"Welcome to delicacies from around the world!" Chris announced "Before we start lets have the Bass on the right and Gophers on the left!"
The teams separated and found seats with Heather looking quite happy as she imagined the delicious food she would get.
"The first thing we are serving you is French and I'm sure some of you know what it is but don't tell anyone if you do." Chris said before Chef brought out what looked like Fried Chicken legs but a lot thinner.
"Bon Appetite." Chris said smirking.
Heather immediately took a bite of it and smiled.
"As expected this is quite good." She remarked as everyone ate it happily… except for Bryan who knew what it was.
After everyone had eaten the two legs they had been served Chris cleared his throat to get his attention.
"Congratulations. I hope you all enjoyed your frog legs?" He said as everyone except for Owen and Bryan started spitting.
"CHRIS I THOUGHT YOU SAID THESE WERE DELICACIES!" Heather shouted.
"This is a delicacy from France and so is the next one!" Chris said as Chef brought out a platter "You each need to eat three of these to continue. Next on the menu is Escargot!"
Those that knew what that was looked slightly green as they tentatively put the snails into their mouths. Courtney and Heather both immediately spat them out but the others managed to choke it down… for a second. Cody then turned green and spat projectile vomit all over Heather. When he did this Heather screamed and ran outside where everyone heard her retch which made everyone cheer.
"That was awesome Codester!" Chris said.
"Felt awesome too." Cody replied.
"Our next course is called Baloot." Chris said "and it come from Thailand (?) I hope you enjoy it."
Bryan paled when he heard this knowing exactly what it was and started turning green. Chef handed each of the campers still in the competition an egg that was a little heavier then they expected. When they cracked it open several of the campers scream. Lindsay and DJ fainted, Bridgette, Geoff, Beth, and Harold threw up on the spot, Beth, Trent, Brianna, and Gwen refused to eat it.
"Wow that is some nasty stuff!" Chris said "Now we have three Gophers and one Bass left! Bring out the next meal!"
Chef then brought out some rather foul smelling strips of meat.
"Each of you have to eat six strips of this." Chris said as he held his nose closed.
All the remaining campers ate the strips of greenish meat with weird and disgusted looks on their faces but they all managed to complete it.
"Congratulations that was fish heads that have been buried under ground for two weeks!" Chris said.
Leshawna immediately threw up leaving Owen, Bryan, and Duncan in the contest. Chef brought out the next course which was some kind of sushi covered in green goo.
"This is sushi covered in a very strong spice!" Chris said "Enjoy as much as you want."
Bryan took one of the many pieces of sushi and put it in his mouth tentatively… he immediately was glad he had done so. It felt like someone had poured red hot acid on his tongue and scalded his throat on its way down. He managed to keep it down and then look over at Owen and immediately felt sorry for the big guy. He was pouring dozens of the sushi down his throat and when the plate was empty he set it down and smiled. Then his face started to turn red, his eyes got red and teared up, he started to sweat and pant as the Wasabi burned his insides up.
"GREAT PYRAMIDS OF GIZA!" He screamed before running into the kitchen screaming.
They heard the faucet turn on and Owen start gulping down water as Chris laughed and Chef yelled at Owen. As soon as Chris caught his breath he continued.
"The next course is Fried Tarantula. You need to eat a whole one, legs and all." Chris said as Chef gave Bryan and Duncan a large six inch fried spider.
Bryan tentatively took a bite of one of the legs and grimaced at how horrible it tasted but kept on eating. He nearly lost it when he took a bite from the main body but muscled his way through the gag reflex. Duncan had pretty much done the same but all the other campers had left seeing as they couldn't handle watching them eat the disgusting foods.
"The next course will be drank and comes from the Massassi in Africa(?)" Chris said.
Chef brought out two large glass cups filled with a pink liquid. Bryan tentatively sniffed it before gulping it down quickly as did Duncan. It tasted slightly metallic but mostly it tasted like milk. After the two remaining contestants wiped the milk mustaches off they turned to Chris who looked ill.
"That was easy. What else you got?" Duncan asked.
"Well first you should know you just drank cow's milk mixed with cow's blood." Chris replied making both Duncan and Bryan gag a bit "And next we have Haggis and I'm sure you know what that is!"
Both of them did know what it was and they each started eating the large sausage looking meal stopping every once in a while to keep from throwing up but they did manage to eat it. The next two courses were pretty nasty too but relatively normal, first they easily ate Liver and then they both nearly puked when they were fed a whole lambs head. They had to strip it to the bone meaning they ate the eyes, brains, meat and tongue. Then Chris gave them Camels Hump which they easily ate. They had now been moved to a single table in front of the microphone and facing each other to make things faster.
"Geez you guys are tough. But the last two courses will easily know one of you out. First is Snake Surprise!" Chris said as Chef brought out a large steaming snake wrapped around a metal spike.
"Do I even want to know what the surprise is?" Duncan asked.
"No you don't." Chris said as Chef cut the snakes stomach open… and several small, slimy, wriggling, unborn snakes spilt all over the table "You each must eat three of these."
It took about ten minutes for each teen to eat their three snakes but they all managed to do so.
"Okay this is the last course if you both eat it then we go to sudden death." Chris said happily "For desert we have Chilled Monkey Brains."
Chef put a goblet with a severed monkey head in front of them before taking off the top of its skull and putting a spoon in each. Bryan was now definitely sick, he gagged then turned and threw up all over the floor for almost three minutes before finally fainting.
"THE KILLER BASS WIN!" Chris shouted when he and a Green Duncan stepped outside.
The Bass all cheered and the Gophers, minus Heather who was still in the washrooms, groaned… till they noticed Bryan wasn't with them.
"Hey where'd mister depression go?" Gwen asked.
Chris pointed over his shoulder and the Gophers went inside to find an unconscious Bryan laying a pool of fresh vomit with more coming up every few seconds the reason being (though they didn't know it yet) was because he had managed to swallow one of the snakes whole and it kept squirming in his stomach. All the Gophers groaned sympathetically before getting a bucket of water from Chef and pouring it onto Bryan, not waking him up but washing off the majority of the vomit. As Owen carried him to the cabin he opened his eyes slightly.
"Hey man what happened?" Owen asked.
"Live, unborn snakes and chilled monkey brains still in their skulls." He moaned.
All the Gophers gagged before setting Bryan down on the porch.

(Confession Cam)
Bryan: (Still very green) Urg… that was the worst meal I've ever had… though the tarantula wasn't half bad. Any I vote for Heather. She's still mean and she didn't even try to do this challenge!
Cody: I think that Heather is not pulling her weight in the challenges.
Gwen: Cody is still getting on my nerves despite covering Heather in puke.
Heather: Cody is so dead if he isn't voted off for this!

"Campers. There are two campers and one marshmallow left." Chris said dramatically.
Cody and Beth both looked at the other nervously as Chris smiled.
"The last marshmallow goes to

Beth." Chris said throwing the sweet at the farm girl.
Cody looked sad as he walked down the dock of shame as his friends said goodbye to him.
"Cody I think you were really cool on Boney Island." Beth said before kissing him on the cheek.
Cody held a hand up to his face, blushed and fainted backwards onto the Boat of Losers.
