In the gopher boys' cabin, the three remaining boys start waking up knowing they have another challenge ahead of them.

"Good night sleep?" Junior asked sarcastically as he watched Addison crawl out of bed.

"No," Addison pouted, "Your stupid Chris picture needs to be destroyed! Or at least taken down."

"Petunia drew it though." Junior deflected, "I don't like the guy but I don't know it's a nice painting."

"Can you idiots please stop arguing," Landon groaned from his covers, "Next elimination one of the girls needs to go next so you two need to get along."

Junior and Addison didn't even realize there were only three guys left on the team. They were quickly being outnumbered by the 5 girls remaining.

CONFESSION

Addison: Now that Liam is gone, I'll have to make buddy-buddy with my nemesis AKA Junior. As much as I'd like to battle with him it's important to have a tall friend to stand behind in dangerous situations.

Landon: I don't know if they both irritate me or if they both humor me but I want to stay on good terms with them… for now. But it's impossible to be friendly with them if they're going to argue all the time.

END

Junior started digging around in the cabin when he realized something was missing.

"Okay Addison," he laughed, "where's my bag?"

"I didn't take your bag?" Addison stated, "What was in it?"

"Like... clothes and my toothbrush and swim trunks."

Landon chuckled "Think Ivonne took it?"

"Sorry dude." Addison added, "That things gone for good."

CONFESSION

Junior: I don't think Ivonne took it. Do I? Maybe the guys are just making me paranoid.

END

Everyone met with Bobby by the campfire.

"I hope you guys had a good night's sleep," Bobby started, "Cause for your challenge, you'll be spending the night in the woods."

"Do we get sleeping bags?" Jacey intervened.

"No… but Malik gets today's advantage."

Malik ran up to Bobby and held out his hands. Bobby handed him a box.

"Radios?" He asked.

"Yeah, they're walkie-talkies," Bobby clarified, "Don't get lost."

CONFESSION

Cameron: I never thought I'd be thankful that Sara was gone. If she was here, we'd lose her in the first 10 minutes.

END

"I also have a gift for the gopher team." Bobby announced. Rosie pushed her way through everyone to claim the gift. She held out her hands and Bobby handed her a spray bottle full of an unknown mixture.

"That should help with the bears." Bobby laughed, "Have fun out there!"

As the gopher team made their way into the woods, the bass stayed by campfire for a moment.

"If we camp really close to the exit, we'll get here first." Mordecai offered.

"You know there's a site in the woods for us, right?" Zarra reminded him.

"Site or no site, you think Bobby would disqualify us for not going far enough." Mordecai dared.

"I wanna see the campsite." Cameron added. Ike looked at Zarra then back at Mordecai to calm him down. He sighed and the bass team made their way into the woods.

CONFESSION

Mordecai: If we end up getting lost, I know who to drown in quicksand. It'll all work out.

Zarra: Mordecai probably wants us to get disqualified so he can pick off me, Jacey and Nora. I don't trust that guy.

END

As the gopher team walked in the heavy woods Junior bent down to talk with Ivonne.

"He-hey," He stuttered, "Have you uh… seen my bag anywhere?"

"No," She replied, "Do you need help finding it?"

Junior hesitated, "No-no. It's just… the other guys told me you might've taken it. So, if you did take it, I'm going to need it back." Ivonne scoffed and walked away from him.

CONFESSION

Ivonne: I can't believe him! If I was going to take his stuff, I would've at least asked. He probably misplaced it.

Junior: Maybe I am an asshole. I should take Addison's word more often. I never really thought Ivonne would do that but … who would've taken my stuff then? I've never had any enemies before, except Addison.

END

Once the Bass reached the campsite and put down their bags, Mordecai started taking orders.

"Malik, Nora, Jacey go find firewood," He instructed, "Ike, Mavis, you guys pitch the tent. Cam and I are going fishing."

As the others were compliant, Cameron hesitated, "Can't we hunt for something that isn't alive?"

Mordecai laughed, "That takes away half the fun of it! Plus look at you, you need protein. Let's go." Cameron followed Mordecai into a different part of the woods until they reached the water. Mordecai started to take his shoes off and roll up his pants. Cameron watched him with concern.

"Why are you so scared?" Mordecai asked, "Are you a vegetarian?"

"Ovo but yeah." He clarified, "I don't eat dairy either… except eggs. Eggs are fine."

"Well," Mordecai responded as he got in the water, "You can't really pick and choose in the forest."

CONFESSION

Cameron: I literally live in a forest! Mordecai is the most entitled person I've ever met. If Malik wasn't already at the top of my shitlist, I'm sure Mordecai would get eliminated soon.

END

The gophers found their campsite and started to set up.

"We should buddy up." Rosie suggested, "Me and Sophie will gather sticks. Juliette and Ivonne can set up camp, Landon and Addison can find food…. Junior just watch Petunia."

"Great." Junior sighed as Rosie tossed him the spray. The team split up with two of the groups heading into the woods away from the campsite. Rosie and Sophie started to pick up the sticks.

"Thanks for picking me to be your buddy." Sophie smiled, "I wasn't even sure if you liked me or not to be honest."

"Sure," Rosie replied, "Look at the others, they're either unstable or don't care about the game."

Sophie laughed and continued to pick up sticks.

When they got back to the campsite Rosie noticed an un-set up tent and no fireplace ready.

"What have the four of you been doing?" She shouted.

"Juliette lost the instructions." Ivonne explained as she pointed at Juliette.

"They weren't in the bag." She pouted.

"And I can't help," Petunia exclaimed, "I'm trying to French braid Junior's hair!"

Rosie buried her face in her hands and Sophie burst out laughing.

CONFESSION

Rosie: Maybe an alliance with Sophie wouldn't be a bad idea.

END

The Bass team had all gathered around their fully set up campsite. They all sat in a circle around the campfire in an awkward silence.

Jacey broke the silence by loudly leaning over to whispering to Mavis, "What's the pasty kids name again?"

"Ha you mean Cameron!" Mordecai yelled across the fire as Cameron crossed his arms.

"We should tell stories," Ike suggested, "I think it's weird how we all know each other's parents but we don't really know each other that well."

Malik grabbed Mavis by the shoulder, "Not me, I've known Mavis forever!"

"Buzz off." Mavis shot as she pushed him away.

"I've met a lot of you before," Zarra admitted, "I was really young but since I'm the oldest one here I've been to a lot of events with other contestants."

"Oh yeah," Mordecai provoked, "you probably got it in good with some of the Gopher kids, right?"

"I don't remember. They probably don't remember seeing me since they were so little at the time."

At the gopher camp the 8 contestants sat around the fire in a similar fashion. Addison was cooking the food as he started to strike up a conversation.

"Once this competition is over, I'm gonna ask out Zarra." Addison gushed.

Sophie laughed, "You think she'll go out with you?"

"Listen," Addison explained, "when I was like five months old, my mom took a picture of the two of us at your parents wedding, and that's the same picture we're going to have on display at our wedding someday."

Petunia and Juliette awed while Rosie rolled her eyes, "Why were you at that wedding anyway?"

"All the Drama Brothers were there." He explained, "The other two came stag and got really smashed. That was also the day I got their glasses… or maybe that was at the other wedding."

Landon added, "No party like a Drama Brothers party."

"Well there were two. But we don't talk about the other one. No one got drunk and Junior was there being an attention hog. I think Zarra was there too actually."

"Was that the last time you remember being taller than me?" Junior teased, "I was what... 11 weeks old and you were like 9-10 months."

"You know what… I didn't think of that. I guess I was superior then."

CONFESSION

Juliette: It's nice that the others have good memories of each other and their families… I guess I haven't been around long enough to really have any memories like that.

Landon: I know it doesn't really bother me but Aiden's always been wanting to find out more about some life we missed out on…. Maybe Junior and Addison could help me with that. Since my brother's gone, I could give him that at the very least.

END

At the bass camp, Mordecai stood up from his chair.

"Ike," He ordered, "Come with me. I need to take a whiz and I'm not heading alone in the woods."

Ike followed him a way out until they reached a safe distance from the campsite. Much to Ike's surprise, Mordecai revealed a bag he was hiding from the others.

"What's in it?" Ike asked nervously.

"More like whose is it?" Mordecai asserted, "It's Junior's. I took it from his cabin. You wouldn't believe how heavy those idiots sleep." He started digging into the bag and Ike watched with caution and concern.

"You took his bag? Why?"

"I just want to find his button. No button, no advantage, no advantage, the others will boot him." Mordecai dumped out the clothes and sifted through them.

"Damn." Mordecai muttered, "Well we tried. I guess all we can do is ditch the bag."

"What?" Ike worried, "We can't just leave his bag in the woods!" Mordecai put all the clothes back into the bag and tossed it deeper into the woods before running back to camp.

"That took longer than expected." Zarra commented as they returned to the site.

"It's none of your business," Mordecai snarked, "Maybe we both had to go!"

CONFESSION

Zarra: Something's not right with that boy. He's up to something.

Cameron: I hope bratty Mordecai isn't setting a rule that we all have to go with a bathroom buddy. If I have to take Malik with me, I'll scream.

END

At the gopher campsite, Petunia left the circle to the edge of the site. She was holding the spray and decided to shoot a small amount into the air.

"Oh, that smells awful." She cringed causing the others to wander over.

"It's supposed to keep away bears?" Ivonne asked, taking the bottle.

Sophie grabbed it and joked, "We should dump it on Junior head! He can be the beacon."

Junior raised his eyebrows, "Uh… It probably has bleach in it so maybe don't do that."

"I second the idea!" Addison added.

Amidst the argument Rosie snatched the spray from the rest of the team, "None of you are going to spray it! If we need it, I'll hold onto it." The others dispersed and started to set up for the night until a giant thud in the woods. They all ran into their tent to hide.

"Do you guys think it's a bear?" Sophie asked quietly.

"Someone should go out and check." Juliette whispered.

"Junior's probably the same height as the bear," Landon offered, "Plus if the bear eats him it'll be full faster." The other's pushed Junior out of the tent back into the darkness.

"Ya'll are some team." Junior commented before heading into the woods. He trembled as he held up the spray and looked for the cause of the noise. What he found turned out to be more of a relief than he had planned. He ran back into the tent with what he found.

"It's my bag," he exclaimed, "who would've brought it out into the woods?"

"Maybe the bass are pulling pranks on us." Sophie suggested.

"Or maybe they're just mad that we get three advantages in a row and they don't." Rosie corrected.

"We won't get all three advantages with Liam gone." Landon reminded her. She blanked at the observation.

CONFESSION

Rosie: Okay… so maybe I let my guard down a little bit. Besides we won't even need Liam's stupid advantage anyway… right?

END

"That doesn't matter." Rosie reassured, "Junior you still have your button, right?" Junior nodded and the team dropped the discussion. As the night pressed on the teams started to drift off into sleep. The Bass and Gopher campsites were quiet. Landon and Junior slept peacefully until the two of them were abruptly awoken by their friend.

"You guys ready?" Addison whispered to them as he led them out of the tent.

"What are you talking about?" Landon yawned.

"It's time for revenge! No one messes with Junior but me; time to teach the Bass a lesson." Addison revealed the bear spray and Junior laughed at the implication. The three of them wandered into the woods that night until they reached the bass site. It was quiet and the fire was still smoking.

"You have a plan, right?" Junior whispered as Addison walked over to the tent. The other two watched in concern as their teammate stuck his hand into the tent. He unscrewed the bottle and dumped the concoction into the enemy tent.

"You're crazy." Landon whispered to him as he walked back over to them as they left the site and went back into the woods.

As the sun started to rise the bass team slowly started to wake up and notice the terrible smell coming from their tent.

"Ugh… my head." Nora groaned as she sat up.

"Why does it smell like chemicals in here?" Zarra complained as she stepped out of the tent. Cameron noticed the wet spot next to where he laid her head.

"Smells kinda like bleach." Cameron observed, "Could be the gophers pranking us. Bobby gave them chemicals." The entire team was left terribly dizzy. Zarra helped the others out of the tent and Mordecai immediately started grabbing their things.

"I know we all don't feel great but we need to head back to the cabins!" Mordecai encouraged them. They all reluctantly followed him back to the campsite. Once they made their way back to Bobby, the gophers were already there.

"You guys beat us?" Mordecai shouted.

"Yep," Bobby intervened, "Which means the gophers are today's big winners. Get ready to vote someone out today Bass."

CONFESSION

Mordecai: Zarra thinks I'm going home tonight…. Please. Ike will help me vote off Nora. Malik and Mavis are easy to persuade. Easy-peasy.

END

At the campfire, the 8 remaining bass watch as Bobby presents the 7 marshmallows to them.

"Third time back eh Bass? Only 7 of you will stay on camp tonight. If I call your name come claim your marshmallow. The first marshmallow goes to… Ike" He collects his safety as the others follow:

"Mavis… Cameron… Malik…. Zarra… Jacey"

Nora and Mordecai stare up at the host and the single treat left on the silver platter.

"And the final marshmallow goes to… Mordecai."

Nora sighed as she watched Mordecai grab the marshmallow.

"Sorry girl." Cameron frowned as she stood up.

"Thanks for everything you guys. Really it was fun." She made her way over to the dock and the team watched as she left on the boat.

CONFESSIONAL

Zarra: Mordecai is definitely upset that Jacey and I get single advantages. I think that dude needs to worry more about the other team rather than us. I hope I make it to the final two with him; I'd love to see him lose. Maybe make him cry.
