Screaming Gaffers: Mike, Courtney, Shawn, Noah
Killer Grips: Rodney, Amy, Lindsay, Heather
Episode 14: One Million Bucks B.C.
"Last time on Total Drama Action!" Chris's voice said over a shot of the film lot. "Amy almost learned about Beth's elimination," the volleyball girl was shown talking to Heather, "but everything came to a halt when she and Shawn were snatched and stuffed into safes."
"The Grips wasted a lot of time," the team was shown during their various attempts to open the safe, "and Amy eventually freed herself," Amy was seen unscrewing a vent with her sneakers.
"Not wanting his team to waste time," Shawn was shown in the vault, "Shawn told them to go on without him," the Gaffers were seen leaving the safe and Shawn was seen sleeping inside.
"Both teams got the shock of their lives when they were faced with none other than," Courtney was shown talking to the bank teller, "Cody!" The geek was shown revealing himself, "who, thanks to a certain host, appeared as a cameo," Cody gave the Gaffers the prize.
"The Grips lost," their go-kart was shown losing its wheels, "and thanks to Amy," Duncan and Amy were shown waiting for the final statue, "she was able to boot Duncan as payback for her elimination last season," the delinquent was shown bidding goodbye to his team.
The recap ended and portraits of the remaining cast were shown: Rodney, Heather, Lindsay, and Amy on top; and Courtney, Shawn, Noah, and Mike on the bottom. "With only eight contestants left," Chris popped up in front of the portraits, "maybe one of them will stand a chance on another awe-inspiring episode of Total! Drama! Action!"

The episode began with a shot of birds flying across the sky before the camera panned down to the trailers. "I'm so glad to finally get rid of Duncan," Amy said as the camera zoomed in on the girls' trailer before cutting to the inside.
Heather was applying make-up in the mirror, Amy sat on a bottom bunk next to Courtney, and Lindsay stood in the middle of the room brushing her hair. "I know I voted for him, but couldn't there have been another option?" Lindsay asked.
"What kind of better option are you referring to Blondie?" Heather raised an eyebrow in suspicion, turning away from the mirror to turn to the ditzy blonde.
Lindsay didn't notice Heather's angry expression. "Maybe the team would have voted for you or Rodney."
Amy immediately paled and facepalmed at her best friend's inability to keep her mouth shut.
Confessional: Amy
"I know Lindsay wasn't around to witness Heather's ruthlessness in the first season, but shouldn't she know not to talk about the elimination out loud?" Amy commented.
Confessional Ends
"I'm surprised that you're still here, Heather," Courtney glared at her. "Shouldn't you have gone a while back?"
Heather smugly said "Well Courtney, people likely just realized how valuable of a player I am."
"I have to see it to believe it," Courtney scoffed.
"Are you doubting me?" Heather got offended.
"Of course I am," Courtney rolled her eyes. "You had to rely on Sadie and Ella last season to do your bidding and when they left you, you got kicked off."
"Big talk coming from the first ever eliminated contestant," Heather shot back.
"Shut up!" Courtney yelled.
Lindsay was brushing her hair until she got tangled. "Oh, no. I've got my hair in a knot! Amy, could you-"
"Here. Let me," Heather came over to help.
Confessional: Heather
"So they planned to vote for me behind my back?" Heather scowled. "Interesting to know."
Confessional Ends
Heather pulled hard on Lindsay's hair with the brush, causing Lindsay to yelp. "Heather! I think you pulled my eyes into the back of my head!"
"I had no idea," Heather faked concern. "Let me try again."
Lindsay was smart enough to know better this time. "It's okay. I'll get my brush out another way."
Confessional: Courtney
"Okay, fine," Courtney sighed. "I don't have a medical condition that prevents me from jumping into shark infested water. I just made that up so I wouldn't have to jump off the cliff. But that was the past, and I choose to focus on the present."
Confessional Ends
The shot cut to the inside of the guys' trailer and Rodney brushing his hair in the mirror.
"You're getting your cast off today, right?" Mike asked.
"I am," Rodney nodded. "I just need to take it easy on my left arm now."
"It took me a long time for my ankle to heal," Noah said. "How did your arm get better so soon?"
"My body is big and strong," Rodney explained, "so usually my injuries can heal faster."
A door opened and the three boys' attention was caught by Shawn entering the trailer. "Good morning Shawn," Mike greeted his friend.
"I didn't see you in your tree this morning," Noah said. "Where were you?"
"I spent the night inside the vault," Shawn answered.
Mike facepalmed. "We forgot to come get you out."
"No biggie," Shawn shrugged it off. "I actually liked sleeping inside there. There's much more protection."
"You usually sleep outdoors," Rodney said. "Is this a permanent change?"
"Chris won't let me sleep inside the vault again," Shawn explained, "so it was only temporary."
\
The camera cut back to the girls' trailer. Courtney was helping Lindsay with her hair while Heather and Amy talked in the background.
"I want to know what really happened with Beth's elimination," Amy said. "No one trusts you enough to listen to a word you say."
Heather groaned. "You're not gonna leave me alone with that, are you?"
"Just tell me the truth," Amy demanded.
"You and Lindsay had such a wonderful chat about that dweeb," Heather said as she pulled out her walkie talkie, much to Amy's shock. "I wanted to remember it, so why not record it and show it to her team?"
Amy was speechless, to say the least. "You eavesdropped on me?"
"I overheard," Heather corrected. "Thanks to you, Beth isn't in your way anymore."
"I never wanted this to happen," Amy glared.
"Next time, make sure to check your surroundings," Heather smirked.
Confessional: Amy
Amy groaned at her actions.

A loud and deep sound shook the camera as Courtney finally got Lindsay's brush off her hair.
"What was that?" Lindsay asked in a slight panic.
\
The camera cut to a laughing Chris, dressed in a leopard-print full-body loincloth and holding onto a massive curved horn that looked like it was made of shell or bone. He caressed the horn at the end of his laugh, and sighed happily.
\
The footage skipped ahead to the cast lined up by gender; Rodney, Mike, Shawn, Noah, Heather, Amy, Lindsay, and Courtney.
"Talk about your fashion faux pas," Heather critiqued.
"He cannot be wearing a loincloth," Amy said in disbelief.
"Lllllike it?" Chris asked, gesturing to himself.
"No," Shawn blinded his eyes. "It hurts my eyes."
"You think that hurts?" Chris asked with an offended frown, "Wait 'till you hear today's challenges. Now, let's get started."
A particularly loud throat-clearing put everyone's attention on Rodney. "I believe my arm should be addressed."
"Oh yeah," Chris said absentmindedly, "forgot about that. Hey, Chef!" he turned his head and called off-screen, answered quickly by the hulking man as he walked over in a slightly darker full-body loincloth of his own. He looked at Chris, who pointed over at the farm boy. "Rodney needs his sling taken off."
Chef reluctantly went to Rodney and started taking his cast off.
"Because of the injuries and cheating," Chris began the topic, "the producers feel the need to take care of a few... formalities."
"And what are those formalities?" Mike asked.
Chris opened the book and began to read, "The potentially game-ending injury received by one Rodney Ronningen was given to said contestant by one Chef Hatchet while said staff member was in an illegal alliance with one Brick MacArthur. As such, the collective producers of Total Drama Action have seen it fit to reward the injured contestant, previously identified as Rodney Ronningen, with his own bathroom and gourmet dining experiences with the host and producers that he may extend to his teammates if he so desires."
Rodney was pleased to hear his benefits. "Alright!"
"Wow did he score big," Noah mumbled.
"I'm getting to you," Chris cleared his throat and began to read again. "The Total Drama Action contestant known as Noah Carter had sprained his ankle during a challenge. His injury was not deliberate on his part and was done as sabotage by an opposing team member. To compensate for his blunder, Noah Carter will be given a pure goose down pillow, extra lofty comforter, and seven hundred thread count sheets for his own bed."
"This is so not fair!" Heather whined.
"Keep on complaining, and I'll reveal who made Noah sprain his ankle," Chris said seriously.
"Never mind me," Heather chose to be quiet.
Confessional: Heather
"Since when did the show decide to start compensating for us?" Heather said. "If I had known that Noah would get a comfortable bed for his injuries, I wouldn't have gotten his ankle bent."
Confessional Ends
"Is anything going to happen to Brick?" Lindsay asked unsurely. "He was in an alliance with Chef."
"He was given unfair advantages and would've been punished by working in the kitchen, but since he's not here anymore, the punishment is null," Chris said.
"Brick was put in a situation under his control," Courtney stepped in. "Him quitting is the least he could do."
"I know," Chris said. "Chef's already being punished for his bad behavior by having his paycheck docked and delayed until further notice."
Chef marched over to the host. "I still want my money by the end of the season, you got that?"
Confessional: Shawn
"Note to self: Avoid Chef for the next few weeks," Shawn wrote down on a piece of paper. "I could help him make better food, but I don't want to go through what Brick did."
Confessional Ends
"Today's challenges will help bring out your more... primal instincts," Chris announced. "Today's genre? The Period Movie!"
"The what?" Rodney asked in confusion. "What's there to film about periods?"
"Period movies," Mike answered. "You know, movies set in a certain time period."
"Like civil wars or the roaring twenties," Shawn continued.
"Got it! Why did you call it the period movie?" Rodney said.
"Because today," Chris answered, "we're doing the Paleolithic Period. Which I thought you dum-dums might have guessed from my... loincloth," he gestured to the garment again.
"Paleo-lipstick?" Lindsay asked. "Is that a new brand?"
"It's the stone age," Amy corrected. "We're going to be cavegirls."
"No talking," Chris shushed them. "Cave people grunt and look confused, which means for once, you're all perfectly cast."
"Some of us more than others," Heather muttered under her breath.
"Okay," Chris explained. "Cave people in prehistoric flicks do two things. Make fire and use tools made of bones. Technically, you should also know how to bring down a mammoth with a stick, but since Owen's not here, no mammoth, no challenge."
He walked over to a costume rack holding various loincloths. "Here are your costumes. Get into character, people."
"You've gotta be kidding," Noah said with wide eyes.
"I never kid," Chris replied seriously, then laughed. "Actually, I do, but never about something this funny."
"You'll look perfect, Rodney," Heather said in an attempt to flirt. "I don't know if you've been told this, but your bod was made for loincloths."
As Heather walked away, a smile donned on Rodney's face.
Confessional: Rodney
"No one's ever complimented me the same way Heather did," Rodney said as he started to swoon over Heather. "It's like she's an angel-" he smacked himself thrice. "Control yourself! Dawn already talked about this."
Confessional Ends
The camera flashed to a set decorated with strange trees with purple leaves and littered with rock spires before cutting to a close up of the host. "Hello cast," he greeted deviously. "Nice to see you all decked out for the competition."
The camera pulled back to show the cast dressed in their costumes; Rodney and Shawn wearing what could only be described as fur speedos, Amy, Mike, and Noah wearing full body loincloths, and Courtney, Heather, and Lindsay in fur bikinis.
"And might I say," the host continued, "you all look pre-hysterical!"
"I really do look good in leopard skin," Rodney said.
"I think mine still has a claw!" Courtney winced in pain.
\
The footage cut to the host in the control room. "Please note," he calmly told the camera, "no animals were harmed in the making of this television program. Okay," he scowled and looked off-camera, "we good?"
\
"I'll get it," Amy said, picking at the offending piece.
"Chef!" Chris called in an over dramatic manner. "The tools for the first Stone Age challenge, please!"
"Here's your rocks," Chef announced, joylessly handing out a single rock to each cast mate from the pile he was carrying.
"Rocks?" Mike asked. "Aren't we taking this Stone Age thing a little too literally?"
"Stones were the main thing used by cave people," Noah told his teammate. "Kinda why it's called the Stone Age."
"I'll accept the rocks then," Mike said and walked off.

(Commercial break)
\
The episode returned to a long-distance shot of the film lot, then cut back to Chris as he explained the first challenge. "First team to collect the hidden firewood," he told them, "and use the flintstones to make fire, earn something to help them with the second challenge. Ready? And... action!"
The Grips looked startled for a moment, but quickly scattered.
\
The scene skipped ahead to Courtney pulling a stack of wood from behind a bush as Mike ran past. Shawn walked on screen and looked around before looking to the right and started off. But before he could go, he was grabbed by Chef by the neck and lifted up.
The conspiracy nut gasped in surprise. "Why are you holding me back?"
"Hand it over," a bored sounding Chef told him.
Shawn took out his tree sap and bark and smiled at Chef.
"All of it, prehistoric pond scum," Chef growled.
"Fine," Shawn whined.
"Help! They're after me!" Mike screamed as he was chased past the two by a wooly beaver.
Chris walked on screen with a laugh. "Looks like Mike found the wooden beaver dam on the set of "Rodents Who Kill!"
The comedian was chased back past them, this time by two beavers and dropped a piece of wood as he did so.
"And Rodents Who Kill Part Two," Chef added with a chuckle.
"Help!" Mike yelled from off-screen.
"Those beavers are animatronic right?" Shawn asked with a hint of concern.
"Animatronic? Of course," Chris lied before winking to the camera.
Confessional: Mike
"Truth be told," Mike confessed while covered in scratches and his right arm being bandaged by an unseen intern, "I'm not just afraid of needles. Beavers and gophers frighten me a lot. Something about their teeth and how they create holes on the floor just doesn't flow well with me."
Confessional Ends
"Someone," Mike shouted, who was now by himself, "get these beavers off me!"
Shawn picked up the piece of wood Kitsune had dropped earlier. He threw it at one of the beavers, landing it on its head and causing it to skid to a sudden and startled halt. The second beaver ran into the first. The two rodents noticed the lone piece of wood, then began to fight over it as a relieved Mike joined his teammate.
"Finally!" Mike sighed in relief. "Couldn't you have done that earlier?"
"I didn't know what to do until now," Shawn said simply.
\
The scene skipped ahead to the four Grips around an unlit bonfire. "I don't get it. How do you make fire with a rock?" Lindsay asked while holding up her rocks. "Oh, is this like that game, Rock Paper Scissors?"
"Give me those," Heather said as she grabbed them.
Confessional: Lindsay
"Heather thinks she knows everything," Lindsay fumed, "but she doesn't know that when I was twelve, my flat iron once accidentally set fire to my grandma's house. Twice!"
Confessional Ends
"I'll have this going in no time," Heather said as she banged the rocks together. "Last time I did something like this was when I slammed my cymbals together just to ask for more allowance money."
The camera moved over to the Gaffers. "What a brat," Courtney huffed as Shawn struck his rocks together. "This is a movie set, not a castle."
"She is a total drama queen," Shawn agreed.
"I heard that!" Heather snapped, "and you should think twice before calling someone dramatic, you hypocrite."
Confessional: Shawn
"Yes, me calling out Heather was hypocritical," Shawn admitted. "but she's the type of person who'd push someone in front of a killer just to save herself."
Confessional: Heather
"I thought Mike should be kept in a mental house," Heather said in the confessional. "He should definitely be replaced by Shawn."
Confessionals End
"Things are finally heating up!" Chris announced happily before the focus moved back to the Grips.
"Keep smashing those rocks!" Noah ordered as Shawn struck his rocks together with a glare, producing a few tiny sparks.
"Go Heather!" The camera panned over to the Grips to show Heather striking her rocks while Rodney cheered.
"I love it when sparks fly!" Chris told the camera.
The focus alternated between Shawn and Heather as they banged their stones and glared at each other, the close-ups getting closer with each pass. Eventually, Shawn tossed his rocks aside and grabbed a mini tree sap from his loincloth. The camera cut to Heather as she was startled by the sound of a fire starting.
The camera cut to the cheering Gaffers. Shawn bragged, "You just got burned!"
"Heather, I thought for sure you'd be the first to burst into flames," Chris snarked. "Gaffers win the first challenge!"
"You clearly gave me fake flints!" Heather protested. "Nobody could start a fire with these ridiculous props!"
Amy grabbed the rocks, then struck her rocks together one last time which finally lit the firewood. "How about that?"
Heather growled in frustration and stormed off.
\
The film lot was shown from a distance again as the same loud and deep horn blared. The shot cut to Chris standing with the massive instrument, grinning proudly. "Yup!" he told the camera. "Still loving this crazy thing!"
\
The footage skipped ahead to the contestants lined up with their back to a bubbling tar pit. "Time for our second caveman movie challenge!" Chris announced as he walked into view. "But first, Chef will pass out your rewards from this morning. Chef?" he called out. "Weapons, please!"
The camera cut to Chef next to a fur blanket over something. He pulled the blanket off to show a large pile of bones.
Mike gasped into Chester. "Bones? Back in my day, we made forts out of them and used them to fight each other."
"Hey, for cave people, bones were cutting edge technology," Chris told him as Chef handed tiny bones to the Gaffers. "And, they're not your reward," he added as the cook handed large bones to the Grips much to Shawn's shock.
"Hey what gives?" Shawn demanded. "We won the challenge. I made fire."
"Actually, you didn't," Chris replied. "We reviewed the footage caught on camera, and you made fire with a lighter. Which is not a Stone Age tool. Which means... Amy made fire first! The Grips are the winners!"
Amy, Rodney, and Lindsay all cheered at the victory, but Heather just sent a mocking grin to her opponent.
"Seems Homeschool cheated," Heather taunted.
"Like I had a choice," Shawn defended. "And besides, Homeschool is Ezekiel's nickname, not mine."
Chris cleared his throat. "Ahem. The props department for caveman movies are bare bones," he informed them, holding up a small bone. "Which means these are all actors have to fight their on-screen enemies with."
"And who might these enemies be?" Amy asked.
"Each other, of course!" Chris announced jovially. "Grip tribe versus Gaffer tribe."
Chester gave his bone a few swings. "We have to fight each other with bones? Why couldn't I have gotten a bigger bone?"
"Because you lost the first part," Chris told them. "You'll be fighting over there!" He pointed to the bubbling tar pit behind them, and the camera panned over to a pair of rough stone pillars standing in the middle of the tar pit.
"Each player that knocks his or her opponent off the column into that big bubbling tar pit," he explained as the camera cut to a close-up of the pit, "scores a point for their team." The shot cut back to the grinning host as he dramatically proclaimed "To the tar pits!"
\
Lindsay and Courtney were the first to fight, the blonde on the left and the typa-a on the right.
"I'm supposed to knock her off with this tiny, wannabe bone?" Courtney asked in disbelief as she examined her weapon.
"How do we know when to start?" Lindsay asked.
"Oh don't worry," Chris answered with a dark smile, "you'll know!" He laughed a few times, then took a deep breath and blew hard into his massive curved horn.
The booming noise startled the two contestants, causing each to nearly lose their balance. As Courtney tried to keep her balance, Lindsay fell backwards off the column and plunged screaming into the tar below.
The camera cut to the cheering Gaffers before cutting to Courtney on the platform, having regained her balance. "That was certainly easy."
"That's one point for the Gaffers!" Chris said from off-screen, and the shot cut to Lindsay as she pulled herself out of the pit.
"Lindsay, are you okay?" Rodney asked the tar covered girl.
"It feels like a cool mud bath," Lindsay talked about the tar as Amy helped her out. "I wonder if it's good for the skin."
"Be sure to let me know," Heather said.
"Next up," Chris said as he walked over to them, "Noah and Amy."
A loud screech was heard from above. The camera cut to the sky to show numerous prehistoric geese from the first season flying around.
"Uh-oh," Chris said, "looks like Lindsay's blood curdling screams have attracted a swarm of prehistoric pterodactyls! This," he said as the camera switched back to him, "should make things interesting!"
"Wow!" Amy cried, clearly impressed. "Those things look so real!"
"Yeah," Chris said while quickly backing away from Amy, "they just look real."
\
The footage skipped ahead to the next challenge. The geese were still flying around and the camera panned to the left to show Amy staring Noah down.
"If you think I'm gonna make this easy for you," Noah said. "you're wrong!"
One of the geese stopped flying to observe the match, then narrowed its eyes before diving. The camera cut to the two as they waited for the signal to start. The goose rammed into Noah's back, knocking him into Amy's bone.
"Let go!" Amy ordered.
"You should!" Noah bickered back.
"Okay!" Amy mischievously obeyed as she let go, sending both her bone and Noah off the platform and into the tar.
Confessional: Amy
"Noah's a scrawny turkey," Amy confessed. "I wanted to knock him into the tar, but I'll take any win that I can."
Confessional Ends
Noah was shown splashing into the tar and quickly surfacing as the Grips cheered at their victory.
"So far, these fights have been total letdowns," Shawn said as he got Noah out of the tar.
"Because we never actually hit each other and won through coincidences?" Noah dryly replied.
"You've read my mind," Shawn nodded.
"I'll show you all how to properly fight when I'm up there," Chester grumbled.
"And that evens the score at one-all for the Grips and the Gaffers," Chris said, ducking into the shot with a grin on his face. "Next up, Rodney and Mike, or should I say, Chester!"
\
The scene cut ahead to the boys' fight. As always, the Grip was on the left and the Gaffer on the right.
"Don't hold back, sonny," Chester said with a smirk.
Rodney narrowed his eyes and the horn sounded, signaling the start of the fight. Rodney immediately took swipes at Chester, but the old man dodged all of them. Before he could hit, a grunting noise got the attention of both competitors.
A pair of woolly beavers had arrived at the edge of the tar pit. The shot cut back to Chester turning back into Mike. "Uh oh."
"Don't worry Mike! They're not real beavers!" Courtney yelled.
Confessional: Mike
"Fake or not, beavers still scare me," Mike said. "Pep talks aren't gonna work."
Confessional Ends
Rodney made another attack, but Mike dodged it, causing him to sway slightly.
"Don't lose this for us!" Courtney warned. "Beavers can't swim through tar!"
The camera cut the beavers as they jumped into the tar.. and swam through it. They crowded around Mike's platform and snarled at the Gaffer.
"Their teeth are as sharp as Dracula's," Mike commented as he ducked from another swipe.
"You'll be okay!" Shawn called to him.
"The columns are plaster not wood, and beavers can't climb!" Courtney noted.
One of the beavers took a bite out of the platform, and the other started climbing it.
"I was wrong thrice," Courtney lamented.
"Get back to your dam!" Mike tried to fend off a climbing beaver. The weight caused his platform to fall and him to grab onto Rodney's speedo to save his fall, but that caused not only Rodney to have his private parts exposed, but for the two to splash into the tar.
Chris laughed. "That was awesome! Would've preferred to see some beaver carnage. But you can't have everything."
Confessional: Rodney
"Lindsay was right," Rodney inspected his tar covered body. "The tar really does feel smooth on your body."
Confessional Ends
"Anyways, that leaves the teams tied. And us with a match between Shawn and Heather! On the same column! You just can't write this stuff!" Chris added with a wink to the camera.
The camera panned out to show the two standing across from each other. "Don't get too hyped," Heather haughtily said. "I can take him down in my own special way."
\
The footage skipped ahead to show Shawn and Heather as they occupied the same platform. Both had no trouble balancing and were giving each other heated glares.
"Are you ready?" Shawn asked.
"If you fall in, you'd be doing the impossible by actually bathing!" Heather insulted.
The horn blew and both tried to take a swipe at each other, only to meet in the middle. "Is that all you got?" Shawn asked as the two tried to shove each other off.
"This is just me playing nice!" Heather said.
Confessional: Shawn
"I'm fighting with a tiny bone!" Shawn said. "I really screwed up with my tree sap stunt."
Confessional: Heather
"Now it's time to play hardball!" Heather smirked. "Painfully."
Confessionals End
Heather held her bone back before swinging it… onto Shawn's crotch. The theorist screamed at his pain before falling into the tar pit.
"I gotta check that out again!" Chris paused the scene and rewinded back to when Shawn had his balls smashed before falling off the platform. "Awesome!"
\
"Well," Chris said as the camera cut to him and Shawn crawled out of the tar pit in the background, "I'd say the Gaffers had a better chance at one million, B.C. B.C.," he repeated, "before crotch damage! As for the Grips, they won today's reward!" He motioned off to the side, the camera panning over to show Chef Hatchet driving up in a golf cart with four Flintstones-esque side of ribs strapped to the roof. "Mammoth-size prehistoric barbecues!"
The cart drove past Lindsay, Rodney, and Amy, the former two still covered in tar, and came to a stop right next to the tar pit as the winning team cheered. "There's one for all of you," Chef told the Grips. "I had to cook all of them on account of my bad behavior, so don't let them go to waste!"
"Don't worry," Chris added, "the Grips may have won today's reward, but," he took a large egg out from behind his back, "we're not gonna let the Gaffers go hungry."
He tossed the egg to Mike, who looked at it suspiciously. "A giant egg?"
"Should be enough for four," Chris told the losing team. "You do have fire." The camera cut over to the Gaffers' fire pit from earlier that day, which was still burning, until it suddenly went out. Sammy and Leshawna stared at it blankly, and the host added "Maybe if you're lucky, the Grips will throw you a bone when they're done?"
"Barbecue, come to papa," Rodnry said excitedly as he and his team approached the cart.
Chef got out of his seat, but in doing so caused the cart to begin rolling towards the tar pit. The Grips were shown gasping in shock, and the camera focused in on the cart as it rapidly approached the tar pit, began to tilt, and finally stopped. The shot pulled back to show Rodney holding on to the front of the cart.
"Help me pull!" Rodney commanded. "This cart is heavy, and I can't put too much pressure on my left arm!"
As the four began to pull the camera panned over to Chef, who rolled his eyes and walked away with a grumble.
"Good call," Chris said, walking over with a smile on his face. "We can use some of your leftovers for future dinners."
"Don't make me bone you in the head!" Heather yelled at him as the Grips managed to drag the cart back onto level ground.
"If any of you want, I can make scrambled eggs off this giant one," Shawn told his team. "I'll just need a frying pan."
The same terrifying cry from earlier rang through the air. "Uh Mike," Chris said cautiously. "I think the pterodactyl wants its egg back."
The monster goose was shown hovering in the sky above, and it quickly dive-bombed the contestants below.
Mike screamed and his teammates scattered, and the goose was soon on top of Mike. He quickly got up and ran away, but the goose followed him.
"This day is so off!" Mike screamed.
The shot cut back to Chris and Chef, who were cringing at what was happening off-screen. They looked at each other, and shrugged helplessly. "They'll be fine," the host said right before another goose-cry was heard. "Probably. Tonight's surf and turf! Shall we?" Chris politely asked the cook.
"Let's shall," Chef agreed and they left the scene.
\
Chef and Chris walked by the Gaffers, who were cooking their egg.
"How long does it take a pterodactyl egg to be soft-boiled?" Noah asked.
"I think about three hours," Courtney answered while holding the egg above their fire.
"One more hour, and I'm gonna find some leftovers to eat out of," Shawn said.
Confessional: Lindsay
Lindsay was eating ribs and lobster. "Who knew you could get free benefits from being injured? Rodney was nice enough to share his benefits with us." Lindsay took a bite out of her food. "The ribs are a bonus, but this is the best reward ever!"
Confessional: Amy
Amy wolfed down on part of her ribs in five seconds. "Rodney's a lifesaver. I wouldn't even be eating this if he didn't stop the cart."
Confessional: Chris
The next confessional was Chris himself, picking his teeth and drinking out of the top half of a coconut. "I know everyone wanted to see Heather knocked into the tar pit," he said. "Trust me. So did I." He paused to take a sip from the straw in his coconut. "But, the girl's got craftiness in her blood." He shrugged, then picked his teeth again.
"See you next time, kiddies!" he told the camera. "Same Chris time," he tossed his toothpick away, "same Chris channel!" He tossed the coconut away next, and a tinkling crash from off-camera soon indicated it had broken something. "Uhh, wasn't me!" Chris called nervously before dashing off in the opposite direction.

"You know, I'm happy for the challenge to be over," Mike confessed. "Getting chased by beavers and pterodactyls is not my idea of fun. Though I'm glad Chester didn't embarrass me, I did want to see how he'd do in a fight." He chuckled for a few seconds. "He's just complain about his body bruising too much."
