Episode 2: Not So Happy Campers, Part 2

RECAP

Chris: Last time on Total Drama Island, 25 campers have signed up to spend eight weeks right here at this crummy old summer camp, then have to face the judgment of their fellow campers.

DJ: It's our first challenge, how hard can it be?

Gwen: I did not sign up for this.

*cue theme song*

"Okay, today's challenge is three-fold. Your first challenge is to jump off this 1000-foot-high cliff into the lake," Chris announced.

"Piece of cake," Bridgette shrugged.

"Yeah, this ain't too bad," Simone agreed.

Chris continued, "If you look down, you will see two target areas. The wider area represents the part of the lake that we have stocked with psychotic, man-eating sharks! Inside that area is a safe zone; that's your target area, which, we're pretty sure, is shark-free."

"Excuse me?" Leshawna cocked her head.

"Say what now?" Andi raised an eyebrow.

"For each member of your team that jumps and actually survives, there will be a crate of supplies waiting below. Inside each crate are supplies that you'll need for the second part of the challenge: building a hot tub! The team with the best one gets to have a wicked hot tub party tonight. The losers will be sending someone home. Let's see, Killer Bass, you're up first."

Simone looked down, "Oh, wow. So, who wants to go first?" she asked.

None of them even responded.

"Hey, don't sweat it, guys! I heard that these shows always make the interns do the stunts first to make sure it's survivable," Owen said.

Flashback

Chris and Chef were seen standing on top of the cliff, the latter wearing his swimwear.

"We need to test the stunts first," Chris said. "You know that."

"Do I look like an intern?" Chef asked.

"No, but the ones we had are all in the hospital. That's why I posted that summer job ad earlier. Come on, just jump it, you big chicken." Chris started making chicken noises.

"I don't get paid enough for this, man." Chef jumped off the cliff and landed outside the safe zone. As he surfaced, he said, "Hey, I made it! I made it, man!" Unbeknownst to him, something was coming up on his foot. "Something just brushed my-my foot!" he shouted in terror. "Hey Chris man, somethin' ain't right down here!" Chef was suddenly dragged underwater. Then he jumped up and screamed and ran before a shark could eat him.

"Well, that seems safe enough," Chris said.

End Flashback

"So, who's up?" Eva asked.

"Ladies first," Duncan said to Courtney.

"Fine. I'll go. It's no big deal. Just an insane cliff dive into a circle of angry sharks," Bridgette said.

She jumped off the cliff and landed in the safe zone, where she waved at her team as a boat arrived to pick her up and take her to shore.

"She did it! Yeah, yeah! I'm next!" Tyler exclaimed. "Cowabunga!"

Tyler jumped but he gets hit on a buoy, which made Bridgette wince.

Soon after, Geoff, Eva, and Duncan followed suit.

Geoff - "Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!"

Eva - "Look out below."

Duncan - "..."

Next was DJ.

"Uh-uh, no way man!" he refused to jump and dive.

Chris cocked his head and asked, "Scared of heights?"

DJ nodded, "Ever since I was a little kid."

Chris patted him on the back, "That's okay, big guy! Unfortunately, that also makes you a chicken, so you have to wear this for the rest of the day!"

He then placed a rubber chicken hat on DJ's head.

"Aw, man, for real?" DJ asked begrudgingly.

"You gotta be joking," Simone slightly glared.

Chris mocked him with chicken noises, before directing DJ over to the other side of the cliff, where an escalator awaited him, "That means the chicken path down is that-a-way. Next!"

"Don't worry, DJ. At least you were honest," Simone comforted as DJ smiled a bit.

"Thanks. Good luck," DJ said as he went down.

Up next is Ezekiel. As he makes his jump, he hits the side of the cliff but manages to get into the safe zone. Harold followed suit but he made the big mistake of doing the splits in midair, resulting in him landing on his crotch in the water. This caused the rest of the campers to recoil (even the sharks) and him to cry out in pain before sinking into the water.

"Ooh. Hate to see that happen," Chris commented.

"Excuse me, Chris? I have a medical condition," Courtney said.

"What condition?"

"A condition that prevents me from jumping off cliffs."

Chris smirked, "You can chicken if you want, but it might end up costing your team the win. And then they'll hate you."

Courtney replied, "It's a calculated risk; I've seen the other team and I doubt 9 of them will jump."

Chris shrugged and handed Courtney a chicken hat, "Alright, here's your chicken hat."

"Here goes nothing," Simone said as she ran to the edge and jumped into the safe zone.

He then looked at the list, "So, let's tally up the results. Hold on, that's 9 jumpers and 2 chickens. We're missing one."

"I'm not going without Katie!" Sadie refused.

"We have to be on the same team, Chris," Katie demanded.

"Please! Please!" the two of them begged. "can we? Can we, can we, can we?"

"I'll switch places with her," Izzy raised her hand.

Chris finally gave in to their begging, "Alright, fine. You're both on the Killer Bass now. Izzy, you're on the Screaming Gophers."

Izzy simply shrugged and headed over to our group while Katie and Sadie squealed with delight.

"That means you're up, girls," Chris announced.

"We're coming, Killer Bass!" the two of them jumped together and went into the safe zone.

"Okay, so that's 10 jumpers and 2 chickens. Screaming Gophers, if you can beat that, I'll throw in a pull cart to put your crates on," Chris told the Gophers.

"Nice! Okay, guys, who's up first?" Trent asked.

The Gophers all looked at each other in awkward silence.

"I'll go!" Jax exclaimed with excitement as he ran over to the cliff and jumped; he then shouted out, "Come on in, the water's fine!"

"I'm sorry. There's no way I'm doing this," Heather broke the ice as she crossed her arms.

"Why not?" Beth asked.

"Hello, National TV! I'll get my hair wet," Heather replied.

"You're kidding, right?" Gwen raised an eyebrow.

"Everyone's hair is gonna get wet, you know that," Andi replied.

"If she's not doing it, I'm not doing it," Lindsay said.

"Oh, you're doing it," Leshawna told Heather.

"Says who?" Heather asked.

"Says me! I'm not losing this challenge 'cause you got your hair did, you spoiled little daddy's girl!"

"Back off, ghetto glamour, too-tight pants-wearing, rap star wannabe!"

"Mall-shopping, ponytail-wearing, teen-girl-reading, peeking at high school prom queen!"

"Well, at least I'm... popular," Heather smirked as they all silently gasped in surprise (except for Justin, who simply looked at his reflection in his hand mirror).

"You're jumping!" Leshawna shouted.

"Make me!" Heather sneered.

Then, Leshawna lifted Heather and threw her over the cliff. Luckily, Heather fell into the safe zone.

"Leshawna, you are so dead!" Heather yelled out from below.

"Hey, I threw you into the safe zone, didn't I?" Leshawna smirked. "Now, I just hope I can hit it, too."

Leshawna proceeded to jump and land in the safe zone.

Lindsay felt worried, "I thought this is gonna be a talent contest."

Chris laughed, "Yeah... No."

With that, Lindsay jumped into the water, with Gwen, Cody, and Izzy following shortly after.

When it was Justin's turn to jump, he landed in the shark zone. Fortunately, he somehow caused the sharks to swoon over him and he allowed them to carry him to shore.

"I... I can't do it. I'm too scared," Beth whimpered as Chris gave her a chicken hat. "I'm sorry!"

Lindsay and Cody taunted her with chicken noises.

"That is, like, so lame," Lindsay commented. "Right?"

"Fully lame," Heather agreed.

"That's okay, Beth. We can still win this as long as the rest of us jump," Andi reassured as she took several steps back, did a backflip once she reached the edge of the cliff, and landed in the safe zone.

"Let's do this," Trent said as he high-fived Owen and jumped into the safe zone, with Noah following.

"Okay, campers. There's only one person left. You guys need this jump for the win. No pressure, dude," Chris said to reassure Owen. "Okay, there's pressure," Chris added in as the Gophers cheered him on. Owen put on water wings on his arms.

CONFESSIONAL TIME

OWEN

"Oh, I was pretty darn nervous. See, the thing is, I'm not that strong a swimmer."

JAX

"Do I think that Owen can do it? Well, yes, yes. The question, however, is this: will he make out alive? Ehh... I don't know, probably?"

GEOFF

"I'm looking at this guy and thinking, there's no way he's gonna make it."

GWEN

"I actually thought if he jumps this, he's gonna die."

ANDI

"I sure hope Owen survives this. Besides, I can tell that Uncle Chris hates lawsuits when it comes to injury or death in a reality TV show."

END CONFESSIONAL

"Take a good run at it, buddy," Chris assured Owen, who is starting to walk away. "You can do this."

"I'm going to die now. I'm going to freaking die now!" Owen said.

"Come on, big guy!" Leshawna called.

Owen mustered up all of his courage and then ran to the edge of the cliff. He jumped, screaming all the way. As soon as he hit the water, he made the biggest splash that sent everyone else back several feet from the shore.

"Yes! Oh yeah, who's the man!" Owen asked as Beth cheered.

"Now that's a splash!" Andi exclaimed in awe.

"The winners, the Screaming Gophers!" Chris exclaimed.

"That was awesome, dude.

"Yeah, that was freaking amazing!" Jax agreed as he noticed that Owen was looking for something.

"What's wrong?" Trent asked.

"I, uh, I think I lost my bathing suit," Owen said and all of the other campers groan out of disgust. After that, the campers all change into our casual clothes.

Since the Screaming Gophers won, they all got pull carts for their crates. They pulled their carts and sang '100 Bottles of Pop on the Wall'. The Killer Bass, on the other hand, had a hard time carrying their crates.

"Ow!" Courtney flinched in pain.

"You alright there, girl?" Simone asked.

"Yeah. I just got a splinter," Courtney said.

"Shut up and pick up your crate, chicken," Eva growled.

"Hey, I'm the only one with CIT Camping experience here. You need me," Courtney said.

"Girl, you were a CIT?" Simone raised an eyebrow. "Never mind. Let's just keep going."

Tyler dropped his crate. "I've gotta take a whiz," He walked off into the forest.

"Hurry up, we're already behind," Eva replied.

"Oh, I have to go too," Katie said.

"You do? Oh my gosh, me too," Sadie said.

Both girls walked off as well.

A fly buzzed around Courtney. She hit it with her hand, but she hit her eye as well. "Ow, I think something just bit me," She said.

Simone got up on my crate and sat down.

"Taking a break?" DJ asked me.

"Yeah. You know, even though you were considered 'chicken', at least you were brave enough, to tell the truth," I said.

"Yeah, I'm not really a huge fan of heights. Thanks for being considerate."

"No problem."

CONFESSIONAL TIME

SIMONE

"You know, DJ's a nice person. *blushes* He even told me that I was an amazing diver. Wait, am I developing a crush? Oh, wow. I like it!"

END CONFESSIONAL

"Hey, look! There's the campground!" Beth called out as we finally arrived at our destination.

"We're finally here," Jax said.

"That was pretty easy," Owen smiled.

"I'm pleasantly surprised," Cody nodded in agreement.

Katie and Sadie walked back. "All better?" Eva asked.

"Yup," Katie replied.

"Can we go now? I think my eye is swelling up," Courtney said.

Katie and Sadie continued pushing their crate.

"Something's itching me. Are you itchy too?" Sadie asked Katie.

"Totally itchy. Really bad," Katie replied.

"Ooh, it's really itching now," Sadie said.

"Mine feels like its burning," Katie said.

"Okay, I have to scratch!" Sadie said. Both girls then started scratching their butts.

"You guys are way behind the other team. Like, WAY behind. What's the problem?" Chris asked.

"Their butts are itchy," Courtney replied. Her eye is now pink and swelling.

"Oh my boxers, that's bad," Chris exclaimed.

Katie and Sadie were still scratching their butts. "Did you guys squat down when you peed in the woods?" Simone asked.

"Yeah," Katie replied.

"Did you happen to notice what kind of plants you were squatting over?" Bridgette continued.

"They were kind of oval-shaped and green and all over the place," Sadie answered.

"Were they low on the ground? About this big?" she held up her hands.

Both of them nodded.

"I think you guys squatted on poison ivy," Simone said.

Both of their eyes widened, and then they panicked and screamed.

Chris laughed. "No way, that's awesome."

Katie and Sadie began scratching their butts on the beach.

The Gophers all got to work opening the crates.

"Remember, you guys can only use your teeth to open the crates," Chris said as he walked over to us.

"And you came up with that one?" Andi asked.

"Sure did," Chris replied.

Izzy tried pulling the rope with her teeth to open the crate she and Gwen tried to open. It worked but Izzy got rope burn on her tongue.

"Hey, check it out! I've got wood!" Owen smiled as he pulled out two planks of wood.

"I found the blueprints," Jax said as he pulled the said blueprints out of his and Leshawna's crate.

"We've got tools and some pool liner," Andi said as she and Trent pulled out the liner and power tools.

Heather and Lindsay then approached Leshawna.

"I just wanted to say, I didn't mean that about you being a rap-star ghetto wannabe and I love your earrings. They're so pretty," Heather said.

"Straight up," Leshawna replied. "Well, I'm sorry for pushing you off the cliff and all."

"No worries. I needed a push. Truce?"

"Yeah, yeah, you got it," Leshawna and Heather then do a fist-bump before the latter and Lindsay walked away.

"Did you mean all that stuff you said to Lafonda back there?" Lindsay asked.

"Leshawna? No. She's going down," Heather replied. "And P.S., those are the ugliest earrings I've seen in my life.

"Oh," Lindsay finally understood. "So if you hate her, why are you being nice to her?"

"You've ever seen one of these shows before. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

"Oh... I'm your friend, right?"

"Yeah... for now."

The rest of the Gophers began working on our hot tub as the Bass team arrived.

"Hey, what's up, guys?" Trent asked.

"Nothing much, Trent," Simone replied while stretching out her arms.

"Hey, aren't you missing a couple of white girls?" Leshawna asked. Ezekiel, Harold, Courtney, and Simone looked around and noticed that Katie and Sadie are not with them.

"I think they're getting a drink or something," Courtney rolled her eyes while looking at Sadie and Katie, who are immersing their backsides at the lake after coming in contact with poison ivy.

"Yeah, if they drink with their butts," Harold smirked as Ezekiel laughed.

"Ooh, what happened to your eye, girl?" Leshawna asked as she noticed Courtney's swollen right eye.

"Nothing. Just an allergy," Courtney dismissed.

"Think it's getting worse," Ezekiel said.

"Shut up! We don't want them to know that," Courtney hissed.

Courtney, Ezekiel, Harold, and Simone sat on the porch of our cabin while Geoff stood on top of a crate.

"Okay, dudes. It's not too late. We can do this," Geoff encouraged.

"Geoff's right. Besides, teamwork is the key to victory," Simone agreed.

Courtney and Simone looked over at Ezekiel, who was for picking his nose with his finger and wiping it on his jeans.

"Ew," Courtney winced.

"What?" Ezekiel asked.

"That's really gross..." Bridgette cringed.

"Dude, at least use some Kleenex," Simone shook my head.

"Okay, look, guys. We have a hot tub to complete and we need a project manager. Since I've actually been a CIT before, I'm electing myself," Courtney said. "Any objections?"

"Where do we begin, cyclops?" Duncan smirked.

"Open the crates. Bridgette, go find those itchy girls. We need all the help we can get."

And so, the Gophers were doing well with their teamwork. The Bass... not so much.

When both teams were finished, the Gophers' tub looked well-built and strong. The Bass' tub looked crummy and rushed, with unevenly taped wood and water leaking from the side.

"This is an awesome hot tub!" Chris complimented the Gophers

He walked over to the Bass and inspected their tub, which fell apart after he tapped it with his finger.

"Well, I think we have a winner here: the Screaming Gophers!" Chris announced as we cheered. "Gophers, you're safe from elimination, and you get to rock this awesome hot tub for the rest of the summer! Bonus!"

"I can't believe we won!" Andi smiled as Cody nodded.

"Killer Bass, what can I say? Sucks to be you, right now. I'll see your sorry butts at the bonfire tonight."

"We won! We all get to stay here for another 3 days," Lindsay said as Heather and Beth hugged her.

Owen hopped out of the hot tub and ran over to them while naked.

"We get to stay-yay! We get to stay-yay! We are so awesome! We won the contest!" Owen sang as he hugged Lindsay and Heather.

Later, the campers were now in the Mess Hall.

"So, what do we do now?" Katie asked Bridgette.

"We have to figure out who we're going to vote off," Courtney said.

"Well, I think it should be princess or the brick house here," Duncan replied.

"What? Why?" she asked.

"Because, unless I'm mistaken, you two are the only ones wearing chicken hats. And if we have to lift a truck, I like our odds with the big guy," he replied.

"Oh, yeah? Maybe you should go home for having a bad attitude. Besides, Courtney may a bit... well, bossy. No offense; but she's a good leader. And if we have to carry something heavy, I like our odds with DJ. He's a really strong guy," Simone retorted.

"Simone's right. You guys need me. I'm the only one..." she started but was cut off by Bridgette.

"We know. You used to be a real CIT," she said. "So who would you pick?"

"What about him?" Courtney asked, pointing at Tyler.

"NO!" Lindsay exclaimed. "No salt. I mean there's no salt on the table. Bummer," Lindsay said, covering up her lie.

"Hey, at least he jumped off the cliff, chicken wing," Duncan said.

"Shut up!" Courtney hissed.

"Okay, let's just chill out. This is getting way too heavy," Geoff said, easing up the tension between Duncan and Courtney.

"I've had enough prison food for one day. I'm gonna get a nap," he said as he left the Mess Hall.

"You can't do that. We haven't decided who's going yet," Courtney said.

"Well, I just don't get why we lost, eh? They're the ones that have seven girls," Ezekiel said that triggered Simone, Bridgette, and Eva.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Simone asked.

"Yeah, homeschool. Enlighten us," Eva growled.

"Well, guys are stronger and better at sports than girls are," Ezekiel said.

"Oh, snap. He did not say that," Geoff commented.

Ezekiel continued, "My dad told me to look out for the girls here, eh, and help them in case they can't keep up."

Eva grabs him by the neck.

"Do we still need your help keeping up?" Eva asked.

"Not really," Ezekiel breathed out and Geoff came up to us.

"Okay, guys, let's give him a break," Geoff said as Eva drops Ezekiel. "I mean, at least he doesn't think that guys are smarter than girls," he said.

"But, they are," Ezekiel said.

"That's it!" Simone shouted as she grabbed Ezekiel's neck and attempted to strangle strangled him.

"Woah, girl, chill! I think you made your point," DJ spoke up as he pulled her away, dropping Ezekiel to the ground. "Come on, let's cool you off before things get uglier."

DJ and Simone walked out of the main lodge and over to their cabin.

"Dude, what's wrong with your sister?" Trent asked Jax.

"Simone has... well, a temper sometimes..." Jax replied.

CONFESSIONAL TIME

JAX

"Yep, my sister has a temper sometimes. She kinda picked that up after having to deal with the trauma of our parents' divorce when we were kids. She's been getting better over the years, but still, if you mess with her, you might wanna move out of the way."

END CONFESSIONAL

Night had finally arrived as the Killer Bass arrived at their very first elimination ceremony.

Simone sat between DJ and Eva.

"Dude, you've got a lot to learn about the real world," Duncan told Ezekiel.

"Indeed, he does," Simone muttered in agreement.

"Killer Bass, at camp, marshmallows represent a tasty treat that you enjoy roasting by the fire," Chris said as he held up a plate, which contained 11 marshmallows. "At this camp, marshmallows represent life. You've all cast your votes and made your decisions. There are only 11 marshmallows on this plate. When I call your name, come up, and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow tonight must immediately return to the Dock of Shame to catch the Boat of Losers; that means you're out of the contest, and you can't come back... ever. The first marshmallow goes to Geoff. Next is Tyler... Katie... Bridgette... Simone... DJ... Harold... Sadie... Duncan... Eva."

Courtney and Ezekiel were the only two left.

"Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the evening..."

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

"Courtney."

Courtney sighed with relief as she received her marshmallow.

"Can't say I'm shocked. I saw you picking your nose and making sexist comments, dude; not cool. Dock of Shame is that way, bro."

Ezekiel got up and left the island.

"The rest of you, enjoy your marshmallows. You're all safe... for tonight."

CONFESSIONAL TIME

GWEN

"Yup, this camp pretty much still sucks. But, now that I'm here I guess I might as well actually try to win."

ANDI

"You know, I'm starting to like this camp. That is, once I get used to the bad smells, Chef's slop, and whatnot."

END CONFESSIONAL

Meanwhile, some of the Screaming Gophers changed into their swimsuits and celebrated their victory in the hot tub.

"To the Screaming Gophers!" Cody and Jax gave a toast.

"The Screaming Gophers!" Trent, Gwen, Lindsay, Heather, and Justin cheered in unison.

"Go Gophers! Go Gophers! Go Gophers! Go Gophers! Go Gophers! Go Gophers! Go! Go! Go Gophers! Go Gophers!" Leshawna, Noah, Owen, and Andi chanted and danced.

Lindsay even joined in the chanting.

As the Killer Bass head back to their cabin, Courtney noticed the camera.

"Are you recording this? Good. They can enjoy their party all they want but I'm gonna win the competition and no one is gonna stop me," she said.
