Chris: Last time on Total Drama Island: the twenty-two campers arrived on the island, only to be split into two teams and told that they would have to compete against each other in ruthless challenges. They thought the first one would be easy. Ha, that gets me every time.
As the intro ends, the cliff is shown with all of the campers at the top in swimwear. Percival stares down into the water as Veronica is clinging onto Roxy for dear life again. Chris walks up to the campers, grinning again.
Chris: Well, well, well, looks like you all made it. Welcome to the first part of your first challenge. This cliff is one thousand feet high and you're all gonna be diving into the water below.
Percival: Ah, my training will come in handy! Many a time I've been told to jump off cliffs into water, this shouldn't be much different.
Chris: That's where you're wrong, Percy. If you look closely, you'll see two zones in the water. The center circle is your target zone, the safe area. You wanna dive into there, and then you will be brought to shore by a boat. Once you reach the shore, you'll wait for the rest of your team. The team with the most jumpers will get an advantage for the second half of the challenge, carts to move the supplies. Unfortunately for you guys, though, that outer circle is full of man-eating sharks. And I bet they just can't wait to taste some innocent camper dinners. After all of you grab your supply bins, you'll be tasked with building a luxurious hot tub. The team that builds the best hot tub, will get an awesome hot tub party at the end of the day, but the losers will have to vote somebody off the team. Gophers, you guys are jumping first.
Evander: Alright, back it up yo!
Evander pushes through his entire team and walks to the edge of the cliff. He tosses his sunglasses to Chris, who ducks underneath them as they fly off into the sunset.
Evander: Let Big E here show you sharks who's boss.
Evander cannonballs into the safe zone, causing some waves that push the sharks back a bit. A boat quickly comes over to pick him up as his team applauds him.
Colleen: A true leading figure of you youths would never let you jump into these waters without showing you proper diving etiquette first.
Colleen dives off the cliff in to the safe zone, but as she comes up from underneath the water, Percival jumps in and lands right next to her, angering her.
Colleen: You could've injured me, Percival! Mind your manners.
Percival shrugs and the two climb aboard the boat. The next to jump are Claudia, Hellen, and Wendell, who purposefully lands in the shark zone. As his team gasps in fear for him, they realize that the sharks are even backing away from his creepy exterior. Roxy looks at Veronica, who is quivering in fear.
Roxy: It's alright, you don't have to jump Veronica.
Veronica: Are you sure...?
Chris: You can back down from the jump, but you will of course be labeled as a chicken and be forced to wear one of these goofy chicken hats for the rest of the day. Oh, and you'll be taking the chicken's way down to the beach as well.
Chris points at an escalator going down the cliff as Veronica shyly grabs her chicken hat and heads on down. Roxy then dives into the safe zone, distracting all the boys. Leslie then runs to the end of the cliff and leaps off of it.
Leslie: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
She lands in the safe zone with Roxy and they board the boat shortly after. Francis jumps in next, keeping his distance from everyone else. as he leaps in. Rolf turns from the cliff.
Rolf: Mr. McLean, I cannot do this. It is too much to ask of me. I'm supposed to blog food, not be food!
Chris gives Rolf a chicken hat and directs him to the escalator while he grumbles to himself and puts the hat on. Chris then counts the jumpers and the chickens before making an announcement.
Chris: 9 jumpers and 2 chickens means 9 points for the Gophers! Killer Bass, you're up next. Think you can top that?
Duke: The Dukester never backs down from a challenge! Especially one involving a ring. Yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh!
Duke pulls out an oddly prepared turnbuckle and jumps off of it into the safe zone. He is soon followed by Harriett, Lyle, Lukas, and Bobby. Annalise looks over the edge and simply turns away.
Annalise: Sorry, less-pretty people. I don't do anything that might damage the face, the hair, or the butt.
Chris forces the chicken hat onto her head which causes her to stomp over to the escalator in a huff. Lukas waits in the safe zone while the others get on the boat, urging Peggy to jump. Once she sees him, she gains the courage to jump and lands near him.
Peggy (Confessional): Wow...he has such an effect on me...I mean...eep!
The two get on the boat as Gene causes an enormous wave with a cannonball pushing the boat all the way to shore. Josef follows soon after with a beautifully performed dive, gaining everybody's applause. Desiree and Elicia are the only ones still at the top of the cliff at this point.
Desiree: Like, did you hear about Annalise not jumping and almost botching this challenge for us. What's the big idea?
Desiree leaps in while she spurts more drama and Elicia looks down. to see the shark infested waters.
Elicia: Alright Elicia, you can do this...just think of it as an improv game...yeah! A game!
She leaps off the cliff and sings to herself as she lands in the safe zone and various teammates cheer for her.
Chris: Killer Bass, you got 10 points which mean you'll be winning those sick carts as a little boost to get to the cabins in time. Gophers, you'll be pushing the crates with your own hands.
The Killer Bass cheer among themselves and run to their carts as the Screaming Gophers groan and walk over to the crates. Evander walks past Veronica and gets up in Rolf's business.
Evander: I understand the little olive here not jumping, but you're a man, man! You'd better start pushing these crates as hard as you can, or you won't be able to blog about your lasagna or stromboli ever again. Capiche?
Rolf gulps and quickly starts pushing a crate. Roxy and Veronica start pushing one together, while Percival and Evander manage to lift their own and start carrying them towards the campgrounds. Thought they have a good pace going, they are still way far behind the Killer Bass, who have had no issues on their trip to the cabins.
Hellen (Confessional): Did you know that Rolf is currently in deep doodoo with the rest of his teammates? The odds that the sharks would've attacked any of us without us provoking them first was minimal as well. He definitely could've jumped.
Rolf (Confessional): This team is insufferable! None of them appreciate food in the manner that I do, and they all treat me like I'm some sort of wimp!
A cockroach appears next to Rolf in the confessional and he squeals. The camera cuts back to the Killer Bass, who have just made it to the campground and are trying to pry open their crates with their teeth.
Chris: Remember, you can only use your teeth to open the crates, any arm work and it'll be a setback for your team, haha.
Duke manages to bite through one of the wooden crates and pulls out some tools from it. He then runs over to the rest of his team's crates and starts chewing through those as well.
Lyle (Confessional): Duke may be a bit of a brute, but he's honestly a pretty good advantage to us in anything that requires strength. I swear, he could bite through a boulder if he felt like it.
As the Bass start to build their hot tub, thanks to Duke opening all the crates, the Gophers finally arrive at the cabins, exhausted. As Chris tells them about the whole "teeth" rule, the majority of the groan in displeasure. A couple of minutes pass, and the Bass are finished with their hot tub, despite Bobby sitting on the sidelines for almost the entire time. Meanwhile, Colleen notices something strange.
Colleen: Come now everyone, we're missing a supply crate! I can't trust you with anything, can I?
Though her team is irritated by the bossiness, they also notice the missing crate. Meanwhile, Rolf is still pushing his crate across the beach. About a half an hour passes and he finally arrives, but just as the Gophers are about to open the final crate, Chris appears.
Chris: Time is up! Let's see your hot tubs.
He walks over to the Killer Bass to see the hot tub built perfectly and working perfectly.
Chris: Now, that's how you hot tub. What about you guys?
He goes over to the Gophers, who have a complete tub, but no heating installed. Chris dips his finger in the water and shivers a little.
Chris: It was supposed to be a HOT tub. You know? HOT!
The Gophers glare at Rolf standing next to his unopened crate in shame. Chris walks back to the center of the campgrounds to make his announcement.
Chris: Well, the winner here is pretty clear. The Killer Bass! This means you'll be safe from elimination until the next challenge, and you get to keep your hot tub for the rest of your time here on Camp Wawanakwa. Gophers, I'll see you all at the campfire ceremony tonight. Better get to thinking about who you want to go on without.
The campers meet back up at the mess hall where Rolf's team is still berating him for losing the challenge for them.
Wendell: Now, I know that Rolf here did sort of lose this challenge for us, but let's not forget that Veronica didn't jump either. And honestly, if I wanted to keep one of the two around, well, Rolf's at least not afraid of his shadow.
Roxy: Hey! Veronica didn't stick behind on the beach with a crate of supplies while the rest of us worked our butts off building that darn tub.
Colleen: None of this would've happened if you would have just listened to me! I showed you a perfectly safe dive and both of you chickens ignored my lesson. Tsk, tsk.
Evander: Since when are you the big boss here, toots? Last I recall, it was me and Percy here who led us across the beach in time to at least get something done!
Hellen: Did you know that Colleen didn't touch a single crate at any point during the entire challenge?
All eyes shift to Hellen and Colleen is taken aback.
Rolf: You could have been helping me that entire time! We could've won if just one person helped me push.
Colleen: I didn't need to push, I needed to lead you all!
Leslie: This is so cool! It's just like a tv show!
Some of the Gophers roll their eyes at Leslie's remark before the camera cuts to the campfire ceremony, with all of them sitting at the stumps.
Chris: Gophers, you lost the challenge today. That means that one of you is going to be voted off of the island to never return. Ever. Here, I have 10 marshmallows. If I call your name, you'll receive a marshmallow and remain in the game.
The Gophers look at each other anxiously as Chris holds the plate of marshmallows.
Chris: Leslie, you're first.
Leslie: Weeee!
She runs up and grabs her marshmallow.
Chris: Claudia...Percival...Evander...Francis...Roxy...Hellen...Wendell...and Veronica.
The only two remaining seated at this point are Colleen and Rolf.
Chris: Rolf, you chickened out of the jump and cost your team the lead in the first half of the challenge. Colleen, you were way too bossy and didn't actually put any effort into helping your team. Only one of you will be safe from elimination. The last marshmallow goes to...
Chris points at Colleen, but shifts his finger between the two as the music starts getting intense. Rolf twiddles his mustache in anticipation while Colleen rolls her eyes.
Chris: ...Colleen.
Colleen collects herself and goes to grab her marshmallow. Rolf gets up in shame and hangs his head low.
Chris: To be honest, I don't think you were quite cut out for this anyways. Off to the boat of losers you go!
Rolf walks the dock of shame and gets on the boat, which slowly disappears into the night. Meanwhile, the rest of the Gophers head back to their cabin, passing by the Killer Bass, who are partying to no end.
Gene (Confessional): This place honestly rocks! I'm having fun and there's so much physical activity, I'll be losing wight in no time!
Colleen looks at her team in a betrayed manner, hating the thought that any of them could even vote for her. As the Gophers enter their cabins, the screen fades to black.
