Episode 6: The Sucky Outdoors
RECAP
Chris: Last time on Total Drama Island... A talent contest brought out the worst in our campers. It was awesome! The Killer Bass struggled to find any talent on their team, even if Simone and her bassoon helped out a little. Bridgette's clumsiness pretty much knocked out their best prospect, Courtney. Gwen stood up to Heather, so Heather swore to make Gwen's life miserable by stealing her diary. Then she read it in front of the entire viewing world, revealing that Gwen has a secret crush on someone at camp. Then, Heather managed to save her butt by convincing the rest of the team to vote off Justin McGorgeousness. Who will be the next one to walk off this crappy dock? Find out tonight in the most dramatic marshmallow ceremony ever! On Total. Drama. Island!
*cue theme song*
Come today and the campers were all sitting around the bonfire.
"Campers, today's challenge will test your survival skills. I'm not gonna lie to you, some of you may not come back alive," Chris started and everyone now had a horrified expression, except for Andi.
"Just joking," he added in.

ANDI
"Well, I hate to rain on Chris' parade, but he needs to know that my family and I are wilderness experts."
END CONFESSIONAL
"All you have to do is spend one night in the woods. Everything you need is at your team's campsite in the forest. You just have to find it," Chris explained as he threw both teams maps and a compass. He threw one set to Heather and the other set to Duncan.
"Oh, and watch out for bears. Lost a couple of interns in pre-production. First team back for breakfast, wins invincibility," Chris said as Courtney snatches the map out of Duncan's hands and Chris blew the air horn. "Well, off you go."
"Stay safe, big bro," Simone told Jax as we fist-bumped.
"You too, Lil' sis," he said back.
"Love you," the two of them said in unison.
"Did he say there are bears up in here?" Leshawna asked.
"I had a little encounter with a bear once," Owen said. "Let's just say that his head looks really nice up on my mantle."
"Oh, this one time," Izzy said, "I saw a bear eating our garbage. He had old spaghetti noodles hanging from his big teeth, and it looked like blood and gut. It was so gross, and we thought he was eating the neighbor's cat Simba, but it turned out he was just lost for a week. Uh, you didn't eat spaghetti, did you?" Izzy asked Lindsay and Jax.
The latter two shook their heads in response.
"I don't think any of us did," Jax said.
"Good, let's go!"
Lindsay gulped.
And so, the Gophers were the first to venture into the nearby woods. Trent walked up to a downhearted Gwen.
"Hey Gwen, wait up!" he called.
"Can I walk with you?"
"No."
"Hey, if this is about your whole diary thing..."
Trent watched as Gwen walked away.
The Bass team was on another side of the woods. Sadie and Katie notice a nearby blueberry shrub.
"Sadie look, blueberries!" Katie said.
"I love love love blueberries!" Sadie exclaimed.
"Oh my gosh, me too!"
CONFESSIONAL TIME
KATIE
"Sadie and I are BFFFLs."
SADIE
"Best Female Friends for Life."
KATIE
"We even got the chickenpox together."
SADIE
"Oh my gosh, that was so fun."
KATIE
"It was so nice to have someone scratch all your little scabs."
SADIE
"I know right?"
END CONFESSIONAL
"Ugh, she is so the next one to leave," Heather remarked.
"Who?" Trent asked.
"Who do you think? She dumped Harold's red ant farm into my bed!"
"Yeah, but you did read her diary out loud to the entire world," Jax replied.
Heather glared at him which caused the remaining Gophers to bump into each other.
"So?" she said.
"So, that was pretty harsh."
"I'll say," Andi commented.
"She is going down. And that means, you, too, Andi. You helped her in getting her payback on me."
Andi simply scoffed at that as they continued walking.
Katie and Sadie had just finished eating the blueberries they found.
"Okay. Those were so yummy," Katie said. "Can you believe how yummy those were?"
"They were so yummy," Sadie replied before they realized that their teammates are nowhere to be seen. "Katie, where's the rest of the team?
"I don't know. They must be nearby," Katie said before yelling. "Killer Bass, where are you?!"
"Killer Bass!" Sadie yelled before she gasped. "This is just like when we were seven and we lost our moms at the mall."
"And you started to cry and the security guards had to like, page our moms and they were so mad."
"Oh my gosh, like, take a pill. We're fine."
There was a silence between the two before they resumed shouting again.
"Killer Bass, where are you?!"
The Killer Bass have finally arrived at their campsite.
DJ and Simone went back into the woods to hunt for some food.
Simone caught some fish in the river while DJ caught a rabbit.
"We're not really gonna eat a rabbit, are we?" Simone raised an eyebrow.
"What? No way! This is my new pet," DJ said.
"Oh, that's nice. I caught some fish."
"That's cool."
"Uh, there's no food here," Owen said as the Screaming Gophers arrived at their campsite.
"This is a survival task," Trent replied. "Look at the instructions."
"I wonder if there are any bears around today. Wouldn't it be funny if we made some bear sounds and they came?" Owen and Izzy laughed.
"That would be so funny," She said.
Owen made a large bear noise.
"I'm a bear!" he shouted.
"Would you please shut up, I'm trying to read here," Heather said. "It says we're supposed to find our own food. I still don't see it."
"I think they mean in the woods," Trent remarked.
"I'll go. I'm good at finding food," Owen volunteered.
"Me, too," Andi added.
"Well, at least this will be a good week for my diet," Heather said as Owen and Andi head off to forage for food.
"You don't know where we are, do you?" Sadie said.
"Yes! Okay, no. It's so not my fault. Have you ever notice that all trees look the same?" Katie asked.
"Ooh, I knew I should have known better than to listen to you."
"What, you don't think I'm smart enough to find them?"
"You're not exactly the best with like, directions."
"Yuh-huh, I am!
"Nuh-uh! Apparently, you're not! 'Cause we're L-O-S-T. Lost!"
Katie blew a raspberry in response.
"Ugh, I am so hungry," Heather said.
"Ugh, I think my stomach ate my stomach," Izzy said.
"Yo, who ordered the pepperoni, extra cheese?" a pizza delivery guy asked.
"It's for the camera crew, over here." A cameraman said.
Heather gasped. "No way!"
Owen and Andi came out of the bushes, fish in their hands.
"I am man!" Owen declared. "I bring fish!"
"Are you kidding me?" Heather asked.
"Aw man, you two are awesome!" Trent said.
"Oh I love fish, I love fish!" Izzy exclaimed. She tried to take a bite, forgetting it was raw. "I-I guess we should cook it first, huh?"
"How did you two know how to fish?" Heather asked.
"I learned that when I was a girl scout, in the 1st grade," Andi answered.
"My grandpa taught me." He replied. "I caught a shark once; it bit me in the butt. Check it out!" Owen showed his butt which caused his teammates, except for Izzy, to react in disgust.
"That is so awesome," Izzy remarked.
"Was it really painful?" Andi asked.
"Initially, yes," Owen replied.
Night fell as Katie and Sadie continued walking in the forest and finding their team.
"Well, at least I know how to drive," Katie said. "You-you have to walk girl. Now, who's smarter?"
"Trip to the beach last year, ring a bell?" Sadie said.
"Oh, I can't believe you're bringing that up. I did have a totally edged bikini on that day though."
"You drove my mom's car into a snack shack."
"It was total in my blind spot. Whatever, if it wasn't for me, you'd be riding the bus to the mall."
"Well, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to find your way to the mall."
"Oh, I know my way to the mall."
"You leaned on me!" Sadie said. "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be on this show."
Unknown to them, a pair of squirrels imitated their argument.
Katie gasped. "You're just saying that because I'm prettier than you are."
"I knew you thought that!"
"It's true. Everybody thinks so."

KATIE
"Sadie is like, the prettiest girl I know."
SADIE
"Aw, well, you're the prettiest girl I know."
KATIE
"We are really pretty, aren't we?"
SADIE
"Don't you love that we can say that to each other and not out totally conceited?"
KATIE
"I love that about us!"
SADIE
(Gasps) "Me too!"
END CONFESSIONAL
"That's it!" Sadie shouted. "When we're getting back to camp, we are SO splitting up a BFFFLs!"
"Fine!"
"Double fine!"
Meanwhile, the Bass had finally prepared their tent and campfire.
"Wow, you pitch a tent like a guy." Geoff complimented Bridgette. She returned a confused look.
CONFESSIONAL TIME
GEOFF
"Wow, you pitch a tent like a guy?" *facepalms*
END CONFESSIONAL
"I mean, you're not girly about getting dirty and stuff." Geoff continued.
"Gee, thanks," Bridgette said.
"What's for dinner, woman?" Duncan asked Courtney. "I'm starving."
"I hope you don't expect me to dignify that with a response." She replied.
"Hey, guys! Look what Simone and I found," DJ said as he and Simone returned to the campsite.
"Well, I never had rabbit stew, before, but what the heck? I'm game," Duncan smirked as he saw the rabbit in DJ's arms.
"Boy, you ain't touching that rabbit," Simone growled at Duncan.
"Yeah, this is my new pet. I'm calling him 'Bunny'," DJ said.
"I found some fish for us to eat."
"You guys found food? Thanks. At least we won't have to worry about eating grub and berries for dinner," Courtney smiled.
"Has anyone seen 'Tweedle-Dumb' and 'Tweedle-Idiot'?" Duncan asked.
"Yeah. I haven't seen Katie and Sadie around since this morning?" Simone replied as everyone looked around.
"Guess they went off to pee or something," Courtney shrugged.
Back to Katie and Sadie...
"Katie, look. It's the tree with the fork in it. That's good, right?!" Sadie asked.
"No. It's not good. It's the same tree we saw two hours ago! we just walked in a gigantic circle!" Katie answered.
Suddenly, an owl began to hoot, causing them to scream in panic and run into the nearest refuge: a cave.
"We'll be safe here until morning," Katie panted.
A bat screeched over Sadie and the latter screamed and ran around.
"We're going to die here. We're going to die here," Sadie muttered in fear.
At the Gopher campsite, Owen was cooking the fish.
"Okay, the fire's hot, the fish are grilling, the tent is tent-ting," Owen said.
"Looks like everything here is in tip-top shape," Andi finished.
"Nice going. Fish looks awesome," Trent complimented.
"Thanks, man. I owe it all to Grandpa," Owen grinned.
"So, you and your grandpa fought a bear once?" Trent asked.
"Heck yes! It was the scariest day of my entire life," Owen started his story as I sat down.
"We were out in the woods when we came upon the great beast. I tell you, he was ten feet high if he was afoot! Then, he roared his terrible roar! RAWR! We grabbed our shotgun. We knew it was either him or us. There's nothing personal, just the law of the wild. And then, BAM! One shot was all it took to kill the great beast! We took his blood and marked ourselves to honor him. It was a good death!"
"Yeah right! There's no way you took down a ten-foot bear," Heather scoffed.
Andi looked around and saw that Izzy was gone.
"Hey, has anyone seen Izzy?" Andi asked.
"I think she had to pee," Lindsay said.
"But that was over an hour ago," Trent's eyes widened. "Izzy! Izzy!"
"Izzy the Gopher, where are you?!" Owen called out as he heard someone (or something) rustle through the bushes. He assumed it was Izzy. "Good. I thought we lost you there for a minute, man.''
However, the thing that was rustling through the bushes was a giant grizzly bear!
"GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA!"
The Screaming Gophers all froze in terror as Owen started running around them in circles. Cody even wet his pants in fear.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! WE'RE GONNA GET EATEN ALIVE BY A BEAR! OH, THE HORROR! SOMEBODY HELP US! I WANT MY MOMMY!" Owen screamed before Heather tripped him, which sent him flying to the ground.
"The trees! Climb into the trees!" Heather ordered as they all climbed up the nearest tree they could find.
As the Bass ate the fish, Bridgette began to grow a bit nervous as an owl hooted.
"Be cool. It's just an owl," DJ reassured.
"Sorry... I just get really freaked out in the forest," Bridgette admitted.
"This reminds me of this really scary story I heard once," Duncan said.
"Awesome! Tell it, man," Geoff exclaimed.
"Are you sure? The story I'm thinking of is pretty hardcore."
"Ooh, we're so scared," Courtney rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, dude, it can't be that bad," Simone smirked at that.
"Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you," Duncan said as he began to tell the story. "One night, a lot like this one..."
Duncan continued to tell his scary story as Simone held onto DJ.
"So, suddenly, they heard this 'tap-tap-tapping' on the side of the car. The girl started to freak out, and by this time, even the guy was getting a bit scared. So, he turned the car on and he stepped on it! When they got back to the girl's house, she opened the door and screamed... because there, hanging from the door handle, was the bloody hook! They say that this killer is still alive, wandering these very woods. He could be just about anywhere, really... maybe even right HERE!"
Suddenly, Duncan revealed a hook in his hand as they all screamed and hid behind DJ.
Duncan then started laughing.
"Duncan, that was so not funny!" Courtney shouted.
"Oh, yes it was! I just wish it was all on camera. Oh, wait, it is!" Duncan snorted.
"Duncan, you nearly gave us heart attacks!" Simone glared.
"You are so vile! Do your parents even like you?" Courtney snarled.
"I don't know, 'Jumpy McChicken'. I haven't asked them lately," Duncan grinned.
A wolf howled as Courtney became scared and held onto Duncan, who exchanged smirks with Geoff.
They all got in the tent and called it a night.
Back to the Gophers, they all ended up on the branches of the nearest tree possible. Andi ended up on the highest tree branch.
"Okay, now what are we gonna do?" Jax asked Heather.
"Don't look at me," Heather glared.
"You did tell us to climb the trees," Andi called down.
"Well, why don't you ask the bear hunting expert? Hey, Owen, what now?" Heather glared.
"How should I know?!" Owen asked.
"Dude, you said you killed a bear," Leshawna said.
"I was being theatrical!"
"This is all your fault! If you haven't been growling like that, we never would've attracted him to our site!" Heather snarled.
"Excuse me for living!" Owen sobbed as he banged his head against the tree.
"Hey, hey, hey, ease up on the guy," Trent tried to cool off some of the tension. "He and Andi did bring us all that fish."
We looked down and saw the bear lick its lips and gaze its eyes on our food.
"HEY, LAY OFF OUR FISH!" Heather yelled at the bear.
"It's probably already eaten Izzy!" Lindsay cried.
"Then, it shouldn't be hungry anymore!" Heather pointed out, receiving a bunch of gasps from us. "What?! This is survival of the fittest! She should've just peed in her pants like Cody!"
Cody hung his head in shame as Andi scowled down at Heather.
"You know, Cody wet his pants out of fear! Why don't you mind your own business and leave us alone?" Andi shouted.
Heather was about to say something back at me when the branch under Leshawna broke, causing her to fall to the ground.
The bear growled at Leshawna, causing us to gasp.
"Dear Abbey, she's going to die!" Owen panicked.
"Uh, nice bear... AHHHHH! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Leshawna screamed as we all yelled at her to run.
Suddenly, the bear... giggled?
"Hey, are you okay?" the bear asked.
"Uh, did that bear just ask me a question?" Leshawna raised an eyebrow.
The bear lifted its head off and revealed that Izzy was actually wearing a bear costume.
"Oh, my goodness! I did not see that coming!" Owen grinned as we all climbed down the tree.
"Okay, I'm so confused right now," Lindsay said.
"What are you? Some kind of weirdo?" Gwen glared.
"I thought it would be funny!" Izzy giggled.
"Well, you got us. And I must add, that was a good prank. Nearly gave me a heart attack," Andi chuckled.
CONFESSIONAL TIME
IZZY
"Okay, that was so funny, like oh the bear, oh no and like we're all gonna die now, help, help help, and I'm like rawr, I'm gonna eat you, and like I could actually do that, there's no way okay?
END CONFESSIONAL
The Bass are inside their tent, struggling to keep themselves comfortable. As for Simone and Duncan, they just fell asleep.
"What's wrong? Gotta go pee?" DJ asked as Bridgette stood up.
"Like crazy, but I'm too scared to leave the tent," Bridgette replied.
"Yeah, me too," DJ agreed as he held a jar of his own pee.
Bridgette went out of the tent when a swarm of bats came in her direction. As the bats flew past her, one got into her face, causing to wobble and flail around. Inside the tent, DJ, Geoff, and Courtney screamed when they see Bridgette's shadow flailing. As Bridgette tripped by the campfire, she accidentally kicked a live ember onto the tent, reducing into a ring of ashes.
The Gophers gathered around the fire and ate their fish.
"Rocking the fish sticks! Nice!" Izzy smiled.
The bushes rustled as another bear came out and walked over to them.
"Wow! That costume is really good! I mean, I thought mine was good, but this one is like really good!"
"It's probably Chris trying to mess with us. Yeah, nice try, man," Trent smirked.
"We know you're not a bear, dude," Owen chimed in as he poked the bear's nose.
"Uh, I don't know, Owen. This one looks kind of real," Gwen replied.
"Chris did say there were bears," Heather's eyes widened as the Gophers all backed away from the bear, except for Owen.
"Oh, come on, guys! They're just trying to see if they can punk us twice. This is not a real bear, and I'm going to prove it to you," Owen said as he ripped a patch of fur off of the bear. "Wow... that does look kind of real..."
The bear stood up and roared, which caused Cody to pee in his pants again.
"Yeah... that's a real bear..."
The bear snatched the patch of fur away from Owen, who proceeded to run.
"RUUUUUNNNN!"
They all screamed and climbed up the tree again.

JAX
*still scared out of his mind* "I hope Simone and her team are doing okay. Someone tell me they're doing better than we are right now. Tell me the bear didn't have a family and attack Simone and her team!"
END CONFESSIONAL
"Great! That's just great, Bridgette!" Courtney shouted.
"Girl, what the crap is going on?" Simone asked as she rubbed her eyes.
"Bridgette burned down our freaking tent! Now, we have nowhere to sleep!"
"Yo, drama queen, relax. It's cool," Duncan said.
"Cool? It's cool?! Things could not possibly get worse!"
Suddenly, it started to pour down rain, which caused Courtney to scream in anger.
DJ got a big leaf and his teammates huddled underneath it as it continued to rain.

SIMONE
*drying Bunny off with her hoodie* "I hope Jax and his team are doing okay. Someone tell me they're doing better than we are right now. Tell me the Gophers have shelter to keep themselves dry."
END CONFESSIONAL
As for the Gophers, they are still on the tree as the rain continued to fall. Fortunately for Andi, she had brought her umbrella along.
Meanwhile, Katie and Sadie are still inside the cave, huddling each other for warmth and safety.
The next morning, the rain finally stopped and the actual bear was gone.
The Gophers all climbed down the tree to make sure it was safe.
"Well, I think it's safe, guys. The bear's gone," Trent spoke up.
"And the map," Gwen added as she picked up the now ruined and drenched map.
"Hey, I don't know how raccoons sleep in trees, because I'm so stiff," Izzy complained.
"They must be really limber," Owen replied.
"You know what, crazy girl? I don't want to hear another word from you or the bear hunter here!" Heather glared. "If you two hadn't been acting like bear bait all night, we could've actually slept in our tent!"
Then, a bird flew by and began chirping, which caused Heather, Owen, and Izzy, to get ticked off.
"SHUT UP!" They yelled as the bird stopped flying and fell in shock.
Katie and Sadie woke up from their night at the cave.
"Is it morning yet?" Katie asked.
"Ugh, I think that was the worst night of my entire life.," Sadie yawned. "It was even worse than the night I went out with that guy with the manky bad breath 'cause he ate those sausages at that place."
Just then, Katie pointed at something in front of them.
"What?" Sadie asked before they noticed the bear (the one that attacked the Screaming Gophers last night).
Both of them screamed and ran away.
The Killer Bass have finally got themselves comfortable last night. Simone woke up, finding herself on DJ's chest.
"Oh, gosh, I'm sorry," she blushed.
"No worries, Simone," DJ said as they both got up.
"I don't know what happened... either you were cuddling me or I was snuggling up to you."
"Probably both."

SIMONE
"Are DJ and I becoming more than friends? Maybe we're starting off on a relationship? To be honest... snuggling with DJ was pretty nice." *blushes*
END CONFESSIONAL
"Looks like we're not the only ones snuggling," DJ pointed at Duncan and Courtney.
"Morning, sunshine," Duncan said as the two of them woke up.
Courtney realized what she was doing. "Oh my gosh, eww," she said. "You were cuddling me!"
"I was calmly lying on my back and trying to catch a few z's," he responded. "You were snuggling up to me."
"You are such an ogre!"
"Eh, I've been called worse."
CONFESSIONAL TIME
COURTNEY
"Okay, I just want to say for the record that I was totally asleep and therefore unconscious at the time of the "alleged cuddling" with said Neanderthal, so essentially, it's like it never happened."
END CONFESSIONAL
The Killer Bass went back to the campfire pit, in hopes of winning.
"We're the first ones back!" Courtney cheered as the Screaming Gophers arrived next.
"Oh, no! They beat us here! This is all your fault!" Heather screamed at Owen as she pushed him down.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, not so fast, Gopherinos! It seems that the Killer Bass is missing a few fish," Chris replied.
"Oh, you mean Katie and Sadie? I'm pretty sure they got eaten by wolves last night," Courtney said.
"Darn shame," Duncan shook his head.
Suddenly, Katie and Sadie ran over to us.
"We made it!" Katie panted.
"We're safe!" Sadie sighed. "Oh, my gosh, guys! We got totally lost and got in this massive fight!"
"And there was this huge bear, and he was all 'RAWR, you're in my crib, so, get out!'"
"And we had to run, and it was like so scary!"
"Oh, Sadie, I'm so sorry I said I was prettier than you!"
"And I'm so sorry I brought up the snack shack!"
"And I'm sorry I said your butt was too big to fit in the bus seats!"
"You did?" Sadie asked.
"Um... well, not to your face," Katie said.
"Oh, who cares? We're safe, and you're my best friend, and I love you!" Sadie smiled as she and Katie hugged each other.
"Oh, I love you, too!" Katie grinned.
"Ahem, are you two finished with your little love fest?" Courtney asked as Katie and Sadie nodded. "Good, because thanks to you, we just lost the challenge!"
"Alright, Killer Bass, one of your fishy butts is going home! Gophers, you're going on an all-expense-paid trip to... the tuck shop!" Chris announced as the Gophers cheered and ran off.
The Killer Bass gasped as they glared at Katie and Sadie, whose smiles quickly turned to frowns.
After the Gophers got our food from the tuck shop, they changed into their swimsuits and hopped in the hot tub to celebrate.
"Oh, my gosh, this is so good! I never thought chips could taste so good! I think I'm gonna be sick," Owen said as he threw up.
"That's so incredibly gross!" Heather cringed.
"Just be glad that he didn't hurl in the water," Andi added.
"That's better. Woo, the Screaming Gophers rule!" Owen cheered. "Hey give me some of those choco-diles."
Izzy gave him the bag and he chowed down.
Later that night, the Killer Bass returned to the campfire pit for another elimination ceremony.
"You've all cast your votes. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately head for the Dock of Shame, grab the Boat of Losers, and get the heck out of here. And you can't come back... ever," Chris said. "Now, I see you're all very tired, so tonight, I'll just throw them to you. Savvy? Courtney... Duncan... Bridgette... Simone... DJ... Harold... Geoff... Tyler."
"Ladies, this is the final marshmallow of the evening...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Sadie."
"No, why Katie? Why her?"
"It's so unfair."
"I so can't do this! I've never been anywhere without Katie! We have to be together or I'll totally die!"
"Sadie, listen to me. You can do this. You are strong and beautiful, and like, maybe even smarter than me. And plus, you're like the funnest girl I know. You have to do it for both of us."
Sadie and Katie held hands as they walked down the Dock of Shame. Katie got onto the Boat of Losers and she cried as it left.
"I miss you already!"
"I miss you more!"
"No, I miss you more!"
"No way, I totally miss you more!"
"I miss you infinitely more! Bye!"
Duncan walked up to Courtney, who is busy shooing some flies away.
"What do you want now?" Courtney asked Duncan.
"I just wanted to say...I'm sorry I scared you."
"I was not scared! It was completely circumstantial. And there is no such thing as a hook man."
"Yeah, you're probably right... OR ARE YOU?!" Duncan held up his fake hook again.
Courtney screamed. "Ugh, I hate you!" she walked away.
"She so doesn't hate me." Duncan folded back with his arms but accidentally scratched his nape with the hook. "Augh!"
