This chapter and the next I'll choose who leaves after that it'll be back to voting.

(Campfire pit)

Everyone was gathered around, waiting for Chris to announce the next challenge.

"Campers, today's challenge will test your out-door survival skills. I'm not gonna lie to you - some of you may not make it back alive."

Almost everyone gasped at that. A few, such as, Gwen and Duncan, just rolled their eyes.

"Just joking. Haha haha! 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 raised his hands in surrender.

Reaching into a backpack, Chris pulled out a set of two maps and compasses and tossed them, Heather catching one while Duncan intercepted Courtney from catching the other. "Oh, and watch out for bears. Lost a few interns in pre-production."

Courtney angrily snatched the map and compass out of Duncan's hands.

"First team back for breakfast wins invincibility."

He raised a blow-horn and sounded it.

"Well, off you go."

LeShawna seemed a little frightened. "Did he say there are bears up in here?"

"I had a little encounter with a bear once. Let's just say his head looks real nice up on my mantel." Owen grinned.

Izzy walked up grinning. "This one time, I saw a bear eating our garbage. He had old spaghetti noodles hanging from his big, huge teeth, and it looked like blood and guts. It was soo gross."

Lindsay gagged.

"And we thought he was eating our neighbors cat, Simba, but it turned he was just lost for a week." She than looked at Lindsay. "Uh, you didn't eat spaghetti, did you?"

Lindsay groaned, shaking her head.

"Good!"

At that time Harold walked by, grabbing Izzy's arm and pulling her away.

"Alright, I think you've messed with their heads enough."

As the Gophers walked through the forest Gwen walked passed Heather bumping her.

Heather scratched at her arm, still covered in a few ant bites.

"Ugh! She is so the next one to leave."

LeShawna raised an eyebrow.

"Who?"

Heather glared accusingly.

"Who do you think? She dumped Harold's red ant farm into my bed!"

Noah glared right back.

"Yeah, but you read her diary out loud to the entire world. On national television."

She shrugged.

"So?"

This time Cody stepped up in front of her.

"So. . . that was just messed up."

Heather rolled her eyes and kept walking.

"I don't care, she's still going down."

[Skip]

It was now mid to late afternoon, and the Gophers had finally made it to their campsite, but Owen glanced around with a slightly ticked look.

"Uh. . . [nervous chuckle] . . . There's no food here."

"This is a survival challenge." Noah said.

Owen seemed oblivious.

"I wonder if there are any bears around today. Wouldn't it be funny if we made some bear sounds and then they came?" Owen proceeded to make bear sounds, annoying everyone, especially Heather.

"Will you please shut up?"

Owen stopped.

"We have to find our own food." Cody muttered.

Lindsay looked on the floor, "I don't see it."

"I think they mean in the woods, genius." Gwen sighed.

Owen immediately volunteered. "I'll go! I'm good at finding food."

Heather huffed. "Well, at least this will be a good week for my diet."

Heather groaned as the sun began to set, everyone gathered around a bonfire.

"I'm soo hungry."

Lindsay groaned too.

"I think my stomach ate my stomach."

"Yo!"

Everyone looked up to see a pizza guy standing a few feet away.

"Who ordered the pepperoni - extra cheese?"

A hand waves in front of the camera.

"It's for the camera crew - over here."

Everyone groaned at that.

A few moments later Owen came back with a handful of fish.

"Dude Owen that's awesome." Geoff praised.

"How do you know how to fish?" Heather asked.

"My grandpa taught me. I caught a shark once, it bit me in the butt. Look." He said pulling down his pants.

"Ahhh! My eyes!" Lindsay shouted, as everyone screamed

"So, what's for dinner, woman? I'm starving." Duncan smirked.

"I hope you don't expect me to dignify that with a response." Courtney scowled.

"Hey guys, look what I found." DJ said showing everyone a little rabbit.

"I never had rabbit stew before, but what the heck, I'm game." Duncan grinned.

"This is my new pet. I'm calling him Bunny." DJ said pulling Bunny closer to him.

"Aw it's cute." Bridgette said walking into the clearing with Tyler.

"Did you guys find any food?" Courtney asked.

"Nothing but these berries." Trent said.

"Great just great, nuts and berries." She scowled.

It was nightfall, and everyone was gathered around the fire, when Cody spoke up, "So, Owen, you and your grandfather really fought a bear once?"

Owen nodded. "Heck yes. It was the scariest day of my entire life. We were out in the woods when we came upon the great beast. I tell ya, he was 10 feet high if he was a foot! And then he roared his terrible roar! [Growl!] We grabbed our shotgun. We knew it was either him or us. It was nothing personal - just the law of the wild. And then. . . bam! One shot was all it took to fell the great beast. We took his blood and marked ourselves to honor him. It was a good death."

Suddenly there was a rustling in the bushes.

"W-w-what w-was that?"

Owen went over to investigate. "It's probably just a playful little squirrel, come on out little fella, we won't hurt ya."

The bushes rustled a little more before. . . a bear rose out, prompting Owen to scream hysterically.

"Great pyramid of Giza! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! We're all gonna die!"

Owen began to run in frantic circles around the group.

"We're gonna get eaten alive by a bear! Oh, the horror! Somebody help us! I want my mommy!"

Having had enough, Heather stuck her leg out, tripping Owen and causing him to face-plant.

Lindsay was shaking.

"What do we do?!"

"Quick into the trees!" Heather shouted as they all climbed up the tree.

Bridgette let out a scream as an owl hooted hiding behind Tyler. "Sorry I just get freaked out in the woods."

"This reminds me of this really scary story." Duncan said.

"Dude tell it, I love scary stories." Trent said,

Duncan cocked an eyebrow slightly. "Are you sure? 'Cause the one I've got is pretty hard-core."

Courtney rolled her eyes. "Ooh! We're so scared."

Duncan shrugged. "Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you."

"One night a lot like this one. . ."

[Skip]

". . .so, suddenly, they - they heard this tap, tap, tapping on the side of the car. The girls 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! The say that this killer is still alive, wandering these very woods. He could be just about anywhere, really. Maybe even right. . . here!"

On that note he quickly swung up his left arm, brandishing a nasty looking hook, startling everybody and making the girls scream.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

After a moment he began cackling evilly, Courtney getting up and yelling at him.

"Duncan! That was so not funny!"

"Oh, yes it was. I just wish it was all on camera. Oh, wait - it is!"

Courtney huffed. "You are so juvenile. Do your parents even like you?"

"I don't know, Fraidy McChicken. I haven't asked them lately."

Suddenly an owl hooted and Courtney ran into Duncan's arms and grinned giving a thumbs up to Trent and DJ.

"What do we do now?" Geoff asked.

"Don't look at me." Heather snapped.

"It was your idea to climb the tree." Gwen glared.

"Well, why don't you ask the bear hunter expert?! Hey, Owen, what now?!"

"How should I know?!" Owen shouted.

"Dude, you said you killed a bear!" LeShawna yelled.

"I was being theatrical!"

"This is all your fault! If you hadn't been growling like that, we never would've attracted him to our site!" Heather snapped.

"Excuse me for living!"

"Yep were all gonna die." Noah muttered.

Bridgette woke up and looked around the tent in fear.

"What's wrong? Gotta pee?" DJ asked.

"Like crazy, but I'm too scared to leave the tent." Bridgette whispered.

"Me, too." DJ said showing her a bottle full of pee.

Bridgette walked outside as a hoard of bats came one flying in her face causing her to stumble around blindly, accidentally kicking an ember and torching the tent. Causing the rest of her campers to glare at her.

"Nice going, Bridgette! Now we don't even have a tent to sleep in!" Courtney yelled.

"Relax, princess. It's no big deal." Duncan shrugged.

"It's no big deal?" It's no big deal?! Things could not possibly get any worse!" Courtney shouted, just as it began raining " AHHHH"

"You never say things can't get worse cause it will." Trent said.

Next Morning

"Well, I think it's safe, guys. The bear's gone."

Gwen picked up a soggy sheet of paper with a bite taken out of it.

"And. . . the map."

Owen stretched, popping his back.

"Okay, I don't know how raccoons sleep in trees, because I'm so stiff. I mean, I guess they must be really limber."

Heather stomped up to him, extremely pissed.

"You know Mr. Bear Hunter? I don't want to hear another word from you! If you hadn't been acting like bear bait all night, we could have actually slept in our tent! For your sake, you'd better hope we make it back before the other team."

Owen gulped.

Courtney woke up with her head on Duncan's chest.

"Good morning princess." He smirked

"Ew!" She said, "You were cuddling me."

"No I was calmly sleeping on my back; you were cuddling up to me."

CONFESSIONAL

Courtney: I would just like to say, for the record, that I was unconscious at the time of the alleged "cuddling" with said Neanderthal, so, it's like it never happened.

END CONFESSIONAL

The Killer Bass ran out of the woods celebrating the fact that they were the first ones there as The Screaming Gophers came out later as Heather turned and yelled at Owen.

Heather screeched, shoving Owen to the ground.

"Dammit! They beat us here! This is all your fault, Owen!"

Chris grinned. "And the winning team is the Killer Bass! All right, Gophers, one of your furry butts is going home. Bass, you're going on an all-expense-paid trip to. . . the tuck shop!"

As the Killer Bass ran off cheering, everyone turned and glared at Owen.

(Campfire ceremony)

"You've all cast your votes. The Camper who doesn't receive a marshmallow must immediately hit the dock of shame, grab the boat of losers, and get the heck out of here. And you can't come back. Ever. Now, I can see you're all tired, so tonight, I'll just throw them to you. Savvy?

Lindsay.

Cody.

Geoff.

LeShawna.

Noah.

Gwen.

Beth.

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

Owen looked nervous, while Heather looked bored.

"Owen, you caused a lot of trouble for your team, what with attracting a bear and making everyone late back. And Heather well people don't like you . ." Chris trailed off

"Just give me my marshmallow."

"The final marshmallow of the night goes to . . .

. . .

. . .

. . . Heather."

Owen stood up, sadly.

"Well, guys, it was nice meeting all of you."

The rest watched as he made his way down the dock.

Courtney sat on the girls cabin porch, swatting at a bunch of flies that wouldn't leave her alone.

She scoffed as Duncan walked up and sat across from her.

"What do you want Now?"

Duncan sighed. "I just want to say that I'm sorry for scaring you last night."

Courtney sneered.

"I was not scared. I was just playing along...and there's no such thing as a hook man."

Duncan glanced down.

"Yeah, you're probably right. Or are you?!"

He quickly brandished a nasty looking hook, a psychotic grin across his face.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

After releasing a high-pitched scream, she quickly realized she had been played, again.

"Ugh! I hate you!"

As she stomped away Duncan just laughed. "She doesn't hate me."
