Chris: Last time on Total Drama Island: the campers faced off in the most extreme of extreme sports. From skydiving, to moose riding, to jet skiing, the challenge caused a whole lot of injuries. Leslie proved that she doesn't really fear anything incredibly dangerous while Peggy proved to her team that she'll back down from a challenge to save her own butt. Duke wrestled an angry moose to the ground while Veronica was thrown into a pile of socks. In the end, the challenge came down to who between Annalise and Wendell was better at sabotage. Annalise crashed, giving Percival a shot a victory, but Wendell smoked out the competition, causing Harriett to nearly pummel him into the dirt. Peggy was later sent home for completely blowing the challenge for her team. What'll happen next? Find out on Total. Drama. ISLAND!
The camera opens up on the island before briefly showing each of the three parts of the challenge. Leslie is shown jumping out of the plane as well as Peggy refusing to. Duke is then shown putting the moose in a sleeper hold while Veronica is seen being launched into the pile of socks and coming up and gagging on one. Annalise and Wendell are shown scheming together, followed by Annalise failing to throw Percival off track and getting herself launched into a bush. Wendell is then seen throwing the match at Harriett, burning all of her flags and causing her to try to attack him while being held back by Gene. Finally, Peggy is seen running to the boat of losers after being insulted by Annalise before the camera cuts back to Chris, who finishes his intro followed by the opening playing. As it ends, the campers are shown walking into the main lodge with no food to be seen, and Chef and Chris snickering near the doorway.
Gene: Aw, man! Where's the food dude?
Chris: Don't you worry Gene, you'll get your food in a little bit.
The hosts continue to snicker as the rest of the campers walk in and look at them, confused. They sit with the remainder of their teams at empty tables and Chris approaches them.
Chris: Well campers, I gotta give credit where credit is due. There's only ten of you left, which means you've made it to the halfway mark of the contest!
Several of the campers cheer and Percival and Hellen high five. Wendell rolls his eyes.
Wendell (Confessional): Well, obviously I made it to the final ten. It was only natural that that would happen.
Francis (Confessional): Woohoo, score! I'm in the top ten and I made some friends here!
Chris: As of now, the Screaming Gophers and the Killer Bass no longer exist! You will all merge into one group next week. The boys will take the Gopher cabin and the girls will stay in the Bass cabin. But today, we're doing a classic. A battle of the sexes! Not only that, though. This challenge is going to be all for reward meaning nobody will be going home tonight! Why don't you all get settled in your new digs and then we'll get some grub going!
He and chef snicker some more as the campers roll their eyes and walk outside. Gene is seen next to Duke, slightly upset, but as Harriett passes by, he smiles at her and she smiles back. Percival comes up and puts his arms around the two's shoulders.
Percival: Welcome to the Gopher family, fellow guys!
Gene: Uh...thanks?
Francis: Yo.
Wendell: Uh oh, the nerd and the knight are trying to make the moves on you.
Duke: The champ doesn't like what the weaselly one is implying!
Leslie, Veronica, and Hellen start to pass by the boys at this point.
Leslie: Bye Francis! Bye Percival! Wendell.
Veronica sticks her tongue out at Wendell and shortly after, Hellen stomps on his foot, causing him to grab it in pain. The camera then cuts to Gene grabbing his stuff from the Bass cabin, a mass of laptops and computer equipment, and sighing before leaving the cabin. Harriett, waiting outside, walks up to him.
Harriett: It was nice, being on the same team, I mean!
Gene: Oh, yeah! For sure! I mean, we'll still see each other around camp I guess.
Harriett: You bet!
The two try to go in for a kiss, but Duke grabs Gene and drags him off.
Duke: No time for love, the champ will not be late for his first carb intake of the day!
Harriett chuckles as the three girls from the Gophers walk in with all of their stuff.
Leslie: Oh boy! I call one of the top bunks!
She starts to bounce all over the place and put her things in several places. Harriett looks at her slightly confused by the behavior.
Hellen: Yeah, that's Leslie for you! She's nice though, so it's all cool.
Veronica: Oh, and it doesn't stop while she sleeps. I swear, you'd think she's possessed or something.
The camera cuts to Gene and Duke, who have arrived at their new cabin. Percival bows as they enter.
Percival: Greetings, gentlemen!
Gene: Sup, dude.
Duke: Hey, hey! Save the spotlight for the Dukester, knight!
Gene: Don't mind him, he's always weird like that.
Duke: What do you mean, weird, IT guy? The champ is far from weird!
As Duke continues to argue a one-sided battle, Wendell sneaks over to Gene.
Wendell: Well, hello there! I've got a great idea for the two of us! Me and you, we form an alli-
Gene: You knocked my girlfriend out of a tree and threw a match at her. I'm not interested.
Gene walks over to Francis, who introduces him to his Killer Sandman action figure collection. Duke goes to a corner to set up his turnbuckle, and Wendell shrugs and walks over to him instead.
Wendell: Hey there, champ. What are you doing?
Duke: Stuff.
Wendell: What kind of stuff?
Duke: Champ stuff.
Wendell: Like?
Duke then climbs atop the turnbuckle and strikes a glorious pose before leaping off and dropping an elbow on Wendell, causing some laughter from the other guys.
Wendell: Well that's- agh, great! I really think -oof, you could kill it on a professional stage!
Wendell (Confessional): I'm going to kill him. I can only imagine how Annalise is doing with my insufferable teammates over there.
The camera cuts to the girls where Leslie is admiring Annalise while Harriett, Hellen, and Veronica chat together.
Leslie: Oh my gosh! Your hair is so pretty! What do you use for it?
Annalise: A combination of 18 different shampoos and conditioners, all with their own unique preservation and healing agents. Doctors say my hair has been cared for so well that it will never dull or fall out.
Leslie: So cool!
Harriett: It's gonna be weird not having Gene around, I mean, I've been with him this whole time and all.
Veronica: Yeah, it was tough for a while when Roxy got voted off the island. I didn't let it drag me down though, she had just helped me get past most of my fear, I couldn't just slip back into it again.
Hellen: I wish I had someone special like you guys. I have someone in mind, but I'm pretty sure he isn't interested.
Harriett: Ooo, who is it?
Hellen: Maybe that'll be a story for next time.
Annalise (Confessional): Oddly enough, I'm getting along greatly with the new girls. Not that I'm a team player or anything, I'm definitely gonna crush them before they get too close. Just gotta wait for the right timing.
The camera cuts to the campers walking back to a still foodless main lodge.
Francis: Come on, Chris! I need food soon or my stomach is gonna eat itself!
Chris: All right, all right. Why don't you let me tell you guys about today's challenge. The brunch of disgustingness! All of you will be eating a nine-course meal. You aren't going to know if the dish you are about to eat is less disgusting, just as disgusting, or more disgusting than the last, but in all likelihood, it will just be plain gross.
Chef: And what do the winners get, Chris?
Chris: The winning team will win a two day trip to a local spa and resort where they will be pampered, fed like kings, and, of course, given medicine to prevent any diseases they might contract while participating in this challenge! The losers will be left here, on Camp Wawanakwa with our one and only Chef Hatchet!
Chef grins at them evilly, causing Veronica to gulp in fear.
Annalise: Oh, we are so winning this.
Leslie: Sorry, Francis. You're going down!
Francis: Nope, Leslie. We're gonna take this one home.
The camera cuts to all of the campers sitting down in front of platters covered so the dishes can't be seen. Chris stands in the center of the room and Chef is in the kitchen, working on the next dish.
Chris: Alright campers, time for an appetizer! Take a look at what's under dish number one!
They lift the lids off to see plates full of grayish meatballs. Percival picks one up and squeezes it.
Percival: Chris, these are just meatballs?
Chris: Well, technically they're meatballs, but these are really bull meatballs.
Gene, who has already started eating, understands what Chris means and spits it out as the other guys cringe in fear.
Duke: No way! I'm not doing that, I'd rather eat rats!
Percival: Chris, come on, this is too cruel!
Francis: Those poor bulls...
As the boys continue to freak out about the dish, the girls seemingly have no issue with eating it. Wendell glares at them and finishes his plate really quickly, scaring the other guys.
Francis: Wendell! Stop, they're already dead, why add insult to injury!?
Wendell: I'm not losing a challenge because you four are too chicken to eat some bull nuts. Eat. It. Now.
Duke: No! The champ refuses!
Percival: I pray for our fallen bovine brethren...
The girls finish their plates and a counter comes up at the bottom of the screen, lighting up with a point for them.
Chris: Since the boys couldn't man up for this dish, the point goes to the girls!
Wendell continues to leer at the other guys, who turn their noses up as the dishes are taken away from them.
Wendell (Confessional): I'm surrounded by weaklings, I swear.
The camera opens back up on the second dish covered in front of the campers.
Chris: As for your second course in this meal, we have rat tail licorice twists with stinkbug jelly to dip them in. Chef's own recipe! Bon appetit!
Duke: Huh, I guess the champ gets what he wishes for...
Wendell: You guys had better actually eat this one or I swear I'll...
Gene: Yeah, yeah, we get it.
The guys slowly start to eat as the girls seem to be struggling.
Harriett: Come on guys, just eat it fast and you won't notice!
She takes a bite, causing a loud crunch, startling Veronica.
Annalise: No way, I am not doing this. That's disgusting.
Hellen: Did you know that there is a very high chance that we all get sepsis from eating rat? Crazy, right?
Leslie gags as she takes a bite and proceeds to wipe it off her tongue. Harriett facepalms and looks over to see the guys almost done with the dish.
Harriett: Girls, come on! They're about to finish it!
Annalise doesn't budge, but the others don't seem to be interested in winning this round either. The guys finally finish, causing Francis to vomit a little in his own mouth before swallowing it back down and the counter on the screen ties up.
Chris: The guys have pulled through and tied up the score! But we still have seven more dishes to get through, don't congratulate yourselves yet! Next up is a nice pigeon beak stew served in a broth made from skunk intestines! Enjoy!
As Chef puts the dish in front of the campers, they almost immediately reel back from the stench. Veronica scoops up some in a spoon and tries to eat it, only to immediately spit it out from the horrid taste. Duke, however, shrugs and swallows down his entire bowl quickly.
Duke (Confessional): Back in the champ's home, momma used to make pigeon beak stew every weekend, sort of family delicacy.
Duke: Come on now, you can do better than that!
The other guys look concerned, but end up following in his example and finishing their bowls really quickly. The counter adds another point to their score.
Chris: And another round for the boys. Girls seem to be slacking off a bit, eh? Well, your fourth dish is a special mix of centipedes, sheep eyes, and quail eggs blended up into a delicious smoothie!
Chef brings a glass for all the campers and sets them down in front of them. Percival attempts to drink it very slowly, sip by sip. Wendell even gags when he tries to drink this disgusting concoction. Meanwhile, Harriett, Leslie, and Hellen all drink there's down so fast that the taste doesn't even hit them.
Leslie: Guys! Just drink it fast! Trust me, you won't feel or taste a thing!
Annalise and Veronica gulp and then drink it, gagging after the fact, but still gaining another point for the girls on the counter.
Chris: And with that, the scores are tied up again! Only five more dishes to go, think you guys can handle it?
The camera cuts to a montage of Chef serving the next four dishes, a moldy grilled cheese with glue inside, a hamburger with poison ivy lettuce and a scorched rock-like patty, a fly strip full of flies and coated in garlic, and an ice cream cone filled to the brim with fish eggs and then topped with mayonnaise for whipped cream. Francis is seen tearing up while eating the grilled cheese, Hellen's lips puff up as she eats the poison ivy burger, Gene gulps deeply before eating the fly strip like a fruit-by-the-foot, and Harriett is shown barfing halfway through eating the disgusting cone. After the montage finishes, the campers are shown looking sickly and tired, still at the tables with the counter tied at four to four.
Chris: You guys are so determined to win this thing it's crazy. Well, luckily for you, there is only one last dish.
Chef brings out a platter for everyone, each having ten toothpicks with small chunks of meat on one end.
Chris: Mystery meat mania. There are ten meats on each of your plates. We have honestly no idea where they even came from, but they smelled so rank that we just had to put them in this challenge. Well, dig in!
Annalise grabs one, inspecting it closely before taking a bite and wincing. Duke then takes a bite of a different one, and his eyes widen and his face twitches.
Chef (Confessional): We don't even know what those meats are, which makes it all the better for us to watch, heheh...
Some time passes and only Veronica and Percival remain with food on their plates.
Wendell: Come on man! You'd better eat that or we lose this thing!
Percival: It all smells just so rancid! I can't! Not after everything else I've eaten here, no.
Harriett: Come on Veronica, you can do it!
Hellen: Yeah, do it for Roxy!
Annalise: And also that resort and spa!
Veronica gulps, but then gains a look of confidence as she quickly swallows down all of the mystery meats, causing her to get dizzy. She shakes her head and looks around, noticing that they have one and the counter lights up with five points for the girls. Francis and Gene sigh and Wendell slams his fists on the table. The girls cheer for each other.
Chris: And the girls win the challenge! Who would've thought that guys could be outclassed in grossness?
Wendell (Confessional): What a pathetic bunch of losers.
Chris: The girls are our reward winners for this challenge, the boys are stuck here on the island. What will happen next week when the teams merge? Find out on Total Drama Island.
The camera cuts during Chris's monologue to the girls going on the luxurious cruise ship while the guys walk back to their cabin, locking the door on Wendell, who stomps and bangs on it loudly. The cruise ship sails off into the distance and the camera fades to black.
