"Ugh!" Chef grunts, shoving the air conditioner into the girls' cabin window. He walks off, dusting his hands, and he comes to stand by Chris. Chris presses the button on the remote, and the air conditioning box shivers to a start.
"There you go," Chris says, "Enjoy the prize." The girls run into their cabin to find it icy-cold already. They change into their pajamas and fall asleep.
Late that night, Bridgette wakes up to a loud rumbling noise. She blinks open her eyes, letting them focus on the ceiling. Suddenly, there is a loud snap and crack, and then the roof became barely inches from her nose. Bridgette screams, waking up the rest of the girls in her bunk.
She rolls off her bunk, hitting the floor. "What's all the screamin' for, girl?" LeShawna demands.
"Yeah! I need my beauty sleep," Heather says. Bridgette points a shaky finger at the ceiling.
"Holy…!" Gwen exclaims, flying off the top of her bunk, afraid of getting crushed.
"Oh! Oh! This reminds me of the time that me and Uncle Ednesto were lost, deep in the Amazon jungle, and Uncle Ednesto had to pee. So I tell him, 'Pee in the river, and after you're done, we'll try swimming downstream to find a village.' So he pees in the fiver, and suddenly, piranhas are attacking him from every angle! Turns out, they're attracted to pee. Did you know that? Anyway, I quickly build a make-shift raft out of vines and debris floating in the river. I pull Uncle Ednesto aboard, and by then, he has lost both his legs. And then…," Izzy rambles.
"What does this have to do with a roof falling in on us during our sleep on a reality TV show?" Heather snaps.
"Nothing," Izzy replies, shrugging. Everybody rolls their eyes, and by now, they were all standing in the middle of the room. Another loud crack sounds from the roof.
"Let's make like eggs and Scrabble!" Lindsay shouts, then she giggles, "Haha, I've always wanted to say that."
"You mean 'Make like eggs and scramble'? Not Scrabble?" Heather scoffs.
"Nooo, I mean Scrabble!" Lindsay insists. Courtney and Bridgette exchange confused looks.
All of a sudden, the roof collapses. The top of their bunks hold the roof up for a bit, before the bunks snap, sending the top bunks smashing on top of the bottom bunks. The girls dive to the floor so they won't get hit. "How do we get out?" Courtney shrieks. Dust and rubble was everywhere. The girls couldn't see anything but cement blocks, splintered wood boards, the ceiling right above their heads, the carpet, and each other.
"Guys, guys, let's stay calm," Bridgette instructs, sounding anything but calm herself. "Surely one of Chris' cameras would have seen our cabin collapse."
"Um, yeah, but what if he doesn't care enough to get out of his cozy bed?" Courtney snaps, starting to sweat. Gwen was shaking; this was her worst nightmare, with her claustrophobia.
LeShawna starts screaming, and soon everybody joins in. Somebody would have to hear them. After five full minutes of screaming, they hear shouting from outside. One by one, the girls stop screaming.
"Hello?" Courtney shouts through the rubble, in the direction of the door. Or, where it used to be.
"Princess?" she hears Duncan call. "Are you okay?"
"Besides the fact we're stuck under all this crap, yeah, we're fine," Gwen answers for Courtney. "Just get us out of here!"
"We're working on it!" Trent says back. They hear the boys start digging through the rubble. Every now and then, they would have to call out to them so the guys would know where they were.
Finally, Tyler's head pops through the rubbage. "Tiger!" Lindsay shouts. She falls into his arms and immediately starts sobbing. Tyler pulls her out, and one by one, the guys rescued the girls.
Duncan reaches into the mess and grabs Courtney's hand. She climbs out of the mountain of rubble, using Duncan for balance. Finally, she's free, and Courtney steps away from the wreckage. But she soon trips on a stray brick, and falls into Duncan's arms. He grins at her.
Trent was holding Gwen close to his chest, rubbing her back. She was still trembling. Bridgette and Geoff were making out. And everybody else was arguing with Chris.
"Where are we going to sleep?" demands LeShawna. "Ooh, Chris, if that roof fell on us, I would get Courtney's dad so sue you!"
"No need for that," Chris assures them, "The girls will be sleeping in the guys' cabin."
"But what about our stuff?" Heather shrieks.
"I'll have Chef and the interns dig through it in the morning," Chris answers with a dismissive wave of his hand. The teens head off to the guys' cabin because, truly, they were too tired to argue.
The next morning, the teens wake up to the sound of a helicopter. They groan and burrow deeper into their covers. "Wakey, wakey!" Chris exclaims, bursting into the cabin. "Get dressed and meet on the dock! And make it snappy."
"Hello, Chris? We don't have our clothes," Heather says.
"True. Well, girls can be in their pajamas then," Chris replies. She slams the door of the cabin, leaving the guys to get dressed and the girls to pout.
