Chris: Gwen won her stripes for the gophers. and the bass went to elimination, it would been Sky who been voted off, had DJ not attempted to quit. Fortunly for both of them, i decided to pull a non elimination, making them both happy, and making Courtney angry, revealing in confession cam she actually didn't mean that Kiss with duncan. Ohh, that's low, she's nasty.

Chris eated a marshmallow.
Chris: This week the campers Will be pushed to the x-treme. Who will crack under the pressure? Find out right now on total drama island.
-INTRO-
Many cameras and lights popped out from places like trees, bushes and even a mole hole.
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine,
The camera crossed through the camp área, where Chris was sitting on a beach chair asking for a drink.
You guys are on my mind.
The camera went all the way to the cliff and slammed into the water, Owen let out a fart underwater, which ended up "sleeping" a passing fish.
You asked me what I wanted to be
and now I think the answer is plain to see,
Said fish and some of the fart cloud went all the way to the Surface, where it interrupted Geoff and Bridgette in The surfboard. An eagle quickly scooped the fish and flew away, dropping it around the forest área.
I wanna be famous.
The camera moved to show DJ relaxing with many animals. Suddenly, the fish fell in his lap, which made all the animals attack him and run. Duncan saw the seven and laughed, before noticing Courtney giving him a heavy look.
I wanna live close to the sun,
The camera moved to the waterfall, where Heather and Leshawna were in the middle of a slap fight. Until both fell down the waterfall. Passing behind Harold who was practicing Kung Fu poses in a log.
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,
Izzy ended up ramming him while balancing on a vine, and both crashed against the confessional outhouse, which let out Lindsay who dropped a paper roll.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
I'll get there one day.
The camera moved to the Main hall, where Chef was mixing something in a por, and the cook looked at the tree tied up boya he had. Ezekiel and Noah looked at each other worried, while Dave straight up fainted.
Cause, I wanna be famous!
On their left, Eva and Tyler had a test of strength, which was won by Eva rather fast.
The camera moved outside, where Sky stopped running and saw Katie and Sadie mesmerized while they saw a shirtless Justin, who admired himself in two mirrors.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
The camera passed over the water, where a Shark eated a fish while they jumped over a seagull with a plastic net on Her neck. The seagull was then dragged down by a tentacle.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
The camera moved again, this time to the center part of the dock, where Beth waves and then makes a routine with a flaming baton. Twirling it And launching it to the sky.
The day became night, and the camera went down to the campfire, where Gwen and Trent saw each other in a very romantic way. Which was broken up when Cody suddenly popped up between them.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na! (as can be heard in the background)
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
The camera panned away, revealing all 24 campers around the campfire, in a Clockwork order it was Cody, Trent, Sadie, Katie, Ezekiel, Noah, Dave, Tyler, Justin, Beth, Owen, Harold, Lindsay, Heather, Izzy, Sky, Leshawna, Courtney, Duncan, Eva, Bridgette, Geoff, DJ and Gwen.
All (minus Gwen, Trent, Cody, Eva and Duncan) whistling in the "i wanna be famous" tune, and the season name on the wooden sign.
-END OF INTRO-
The day was beginning again at Camp Wawanakwa, the sasquatchanakwa opened up a storehouse full of marshmallows and began to take packets, until he heard an engine. Meanwhile, inside the cabins the Campers slept, Owen blew empty packets of chocolate bars, Harold sucked his thumb, Duncan listened to music, and Leshawna snored, until the noise of an airplane woke her and the rest of the cast.
The sasquatchanakwa ran off with their loot, as they all went outside to watch Chris on to the skies in the orange plane they used in the phobia factor challenge, dressed as a Star Wars rebel pilot.
Chris: INCOMING.
Geoff: ON THE FLOOR.
The cast started to leave the road, Dave tripped over a branch and it looked like the plane was going to run over him, but Sky grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him out of the way.
Chris: Yeah. I can't wait to get my pilot's license.
The host ended up breaking the confessional with the wing, leaving the sasquatchanakwa in full view, who hid the marshmallows on his back.
Sky: Are you okay?
Dave: I think my heart is in my throat… you can let go now.
Dave shook himself off somewhat abruptly, leaving Sky confused. But she decided not to make a big deal of it for the moment.
Chris stepped off the plane.
Chris: Flex your muscles for the (pulls out a megaphone) X-TREME SPORTS challenge.
The campers covered their ears from the force of the scream.
Gwen: Uh, it's too early for this.
Chris: This week you'll participate in three challenges. First up, X-TREME SOFA BED SKYDIVING.
Sky: Ugh, skydiving on what?
Chris: The Contestants will plummet-- uh– Skydive to awaiting sofa bed target below.
An intern opened the airplane's hatch and jumped onto the sofa bed (which looked in terrible condition), but upon impact, it closed, causing the intern to scream in pain.
Chris: Of course, you'll be skydiving from five thousand feet, and using these.
Chris threw out two parachute backpacks, both of which were in a deplorable state, there were even flies coming out of them.
Chris: Our lucky contestants are Trent and DJ.
Gwen and Sky gasped worried.
Trent: Sure. Why not? You know, what they say on black comb mountain, bro? Best glimpse of heaven's on the way into hell. Let's do this.
DJ: Yeah. Uh sure. Bring it on.
Chris: Not so fast, because, the second challenge Of the day IS X-TREME RODEO MOOSE RIDING.
Dave: Do you really need to do that?
Chris: Yes.
The camera moved, revealing a moose in a small corral.
Chris: Contestant will have to ride the great canadian bucking moose for the longer amount of time they can, or get hoofed into a giant pile of socks from the lost and found.
The camera moved, revealing that pile, which was augmented by inmates wearing protective suits and gas masks.
Leshawna: That stink pile ain't nothing but laundry day back home.
Chris: Well, it's your lucky day, Leshawna, You, Owen And Beth are riding for gophers and Geoff, Harold and Courtney you'll ride for bass. The team with the longer combined time in the end win.
Owen: He doesn't look too bucky to me. Hi, beautiful.
The Moose gave him a kick.
Chris: And the final challenge– X-TREME SEADOO WATER SKIING.
The camera showed a huge track made of mud, with several ramps, as well as red and green flags.
Chris: The contestant will water ski a race course grabbing as many flags they can before crossing the finish line. All while a member from the opposing team drives the seadoo.
Courtney: How can we water ski without water?
Chris: It's really hard. Check it out.
The chef jumped into the scene driving a jet ski, but the result was to start spinning and bumping, until crashing into a tree, causing the host to laugh.
Chris: Awesome. Sky you'll ski for killer basses...
Sky: Sweet… i Guess.
Chris: And Lindsay for the screaming gophers.
Lindsay: Cool. I can model my new bikini.
Leshawna: Not sure if that's the better time to do it.
Chris: Duncan, Dave, you two will take the helm of the seadoos.
Duncan smiled confidently, while Dave had a mixed reaction, though mostly concerned at the sight of the mud.
Chris: Now for the cool swag, whoever scores the most challenges gets bragging rights for the night, saves their butts from elimination AND wins a tricked-out multi-message mobile shower.
The Campers watched that high-tech trailer as the chef played a tune on the harp to give it a heavenly aura. Lindsay, Courtney and Dave were the happiest to see it.
Lindsay: Can it be?
Chris: Oh. It be.
Owen: Ugh. A shower? How about something good?
Dave jumped in his face and stared at him, with eyes and voice that practically pierce your soul.
Dave: Listen to me, you marshmallow-eating ball, I've spent way too long without a proper shower, so we are gonna win that shower Even if it's the last thing we do. GOT IT?
Owen: Yes sir.
Dave: Good.
The Indian boy jumped to the ground.
Chris: Okay gang, chow for breakie, Then report back in minutes for the x-treme sport challenge!
Chris took off in the plane, raising a huge cloud of smoke, which left everyone coughing, especially Harold, who was helped by Duncan and DJ.
After a few minutes, the campers were leaving the dining hall. With the exception of Owen, who gathered the leftover food from several campers, then ate it in one gulp. He then burped up a card, which landed on the plates held by the Chef.
Owen: Sweet grub, bro.
Dave: I really wonder what You have for stomach.
-confessional-
Owen: Dave been acting a bit… angry since yesterday. I wonder if it's something I did. I kinda enjoy his company, so I don't really want him to hate me.
-end of confessional-
The cook took the paper and read it.
Chef: For the girl with smoldering eyes?
The ex-military man dropped the note, which was caught by Gwen and Bridgette.
Gwen: Check it out, it's a corny haiku poem.
Bridgette: Whoa. Some dude's crushing big time. It's probably for you.
Gwen: Really? I was gonna say it was for you.
Bridgette: But Trent is totally crunching on you. I've seen the way he always scams an extra muffin for you.
Gwent: Yeah, but Geoff is so into you. Remember at the dock yesterday, how he tried to get your attention?
-flashback-
Bridgette and Gwen were relaxing in some chairs on the dock, Geoff greeted the surfer while standing on a mini board. Moment that was interrupted by Trent accidentally backing up the jet ski, breaking the dock, and then dragging the party boy as he started up again.
-end of flashback-
The girls laughed at the memory of that.
Gwen: Then again, Geoff probably couldn't pronounce haiku, let alone write one.
Bridgette: What's that supposed to mean?
Gwen: Nothing. He's just not exactly the scholarly type.
Bridgette: Oh, and I suppose trent is busy boning up on his nietzsche in his spare time?
Gwen: I think Trent is more nietzsche than Geoff is haiku-ie.
Bridgette: Haiku-ie? Humph. Well, at least Geoff isn't a poser. Trent probably doesn't even write his own songs.
The two struggled a bit until they tore the letter in half.
Gwen: Tell you what, betty, I'll bet you two nights' desert that the poem was for me.
Bridgette; Oh, I'm up for that. Down with that. Whatever. You're on.
The girls shook hands while giving each other challenging looks. Then the camera cut away, showing all the Campers in front of the orange plane.
Chris: Now, remember, ground teams can wheelie the sofa beds wherever they want in order to help their comrade with the landing.
Duncan: Sayonara, Elvis. I hope your attempts to impress the goth chick are worth the hospital bills.
Trent swallowed as he imagined a hole with his shape in the ground.
Gwen: Uh, did you ever think that maybe Trent's doing this as a form of self-expression, like haiku?
The rest of the team gave him a confused look.
Gwen: Or--not.
-confessional-
Gwen: Okay, so it wasn't my most subtle sleuthing moment.
-end of confessional-
The plane now flew over the island, with DJ and Trent looking down in terror.
Chris: If you could just fill these out?
Trent: What?
DJ: We already signed the insurance forms In the beginning of the show.
Chris: Yeah, but these are for organ donation. I have this cool cannibal challenge i want to pitch to the producers and this will go a long way toward budgeting free props.
The two saw each other disturbed.
Chris: I'm just kidding. Here comes the drop, boys.
The host returned to the cabin, while the boys looked outside.
Trent: I don't see the drop zone.
On dry land, the Screaming Moles were pushing the couch, even though they were having a hard time.
Beth: So... heavy...
Leshawna: Push, why is this thing so heavy?
Gwen looked over, and saw that Owen was asleep on the couch.
Dave: Come on, you big tub of lard, move.
The 5 tried to push him, but no luck.
Dave: Any other ideas?
Lindsay pulled out a red nail polish.
Gwen: At least it'll be a soft landing.
The camera zoomed out, showing that she had painted a big red X on Owen's back. Back in the skies, Trent was shaking.
Trent: Uh--i don't think I can do this man.
DJ: Don't worry, dude, I'm sure you'll hit the mattress.
The big Jamaican guy gave him a light slap, which accidentally pushed Trent out of the plane
DJ: Oh, snap.
The musician fell screaming, unable to even react to try to open his parachute. The crew were trying to see if he was on a trajectory, but before they could do anything, Trent hit the ground making a crater. To everyone's concern, especially Gwen.
Gwen: Trent? Say something. ANYTHING.
The boy could only groan. While DJ finally jumped in.
DJ: Okay, pull the blue cord first then the red. Blue then red.
Accidentally, he ripped the blue cord.
DJ: Blue.
And then the red.
DJ: Red.
Seeing what he had done, DJ began to scream as he free fell. At the same time the Basses were pushing the couch, with Bridgette attempting her own investigation.
Bridgette: You know what's really romantic?
Geoff: Uh, writing someone's name in the snow with your pee?
Duncan and Harold laughed, while Courtney stuck out her tongue in disgust.
Bridgette: Uh, actually I was thinking more of the written word.
Geoff: Oh. You mean like a tattoo. Oh, yeah. I've got one on my butt. Wanna see?
Geoff tugged at his pants, causing the surfer to look away in embarrassment. But DJ's screaming got everyone's attention.
Sky: DJ.
Courtney: GO. GO. GO.
In a stroke of luck, DJ's parachute opened, but due to his panic the movements were more erratic, forcing the team to drag the couch as best they could. And sure enough, DJ landed gently on the couch.
Catfish: Yeah.
Courtney: All right.
DJ: Everything's still here? Nothing's broken?
Sky: No, you're in one piece and just as brave as yesterday.
The two smiled at each other, but the moment was interrupted when the couch closed, crushing DJ, Sky quickly began to struggle to open it, While the others retreated not wanting to "interrupt the moment" (or wanting to dodge responsibility in case they had been at fault for the couch closing).
Chris: Gophers lose. Bass wins. 1 to 0.
The Gophers sighed, as the chef lifted a plastered Trent onto a gurney.
Gwent: Trent, is there anything you want to ask me Before they take you to get, uh--re-boned?
Trent: Yeah. Is my hair messed up?
The cook took the musician away, while Gwen looked on in anguish.
Dave: Don't worry he will be fine. He already got his butt licked a lot here... maybe he only leave with a concussion.
Gwen wasn't any calmer about it, but followed the others crestfallen. Bridgette gave her a couple of pats to calm her down.
Chris Okay, cowpokes, let's start the rodeo moose challenge.
Geoff: rodeo riding's kind of like surfing, once you catch the lip, you just flow with the mojo.
Bridgette: Yeah, flow. Kinda like the ancient art of japanese haiku.
Geoff: What's a haiku?
Gwen smiled at the surfer.
Geoff: hey, bridge, Wanna see that tat?
Geoff pulled down his pants, causing Gwen to cover her eyes.
Gwen: Whoa. Warn before pulling
Bridgette: Definitely not haiku-ie.
The moose snorted. Chef opened the pen nervously, Geoff had no choice but to try to maintain balance while covering his crotch.
Chris: And Geoff's-
The surfer flew off before he could finish, running over the host.
Chris: Out?
The party boy peeked out of the pile, with some socks in his mouth. Causing the others to back up, and in Dave's case, I threw up off camera.
Chris (with a nose clip): Ooh! That stinks big-time for bass.
Out of nowhere, the recording stopped.
Chris: Wait a minute. pause that. Let's just rewind that sh*t and run it in super-slow-mo.
The recording rewound, showing in slow motion as Geoff walked over Chris.
Chris: i'm embarrassed. This is so degrading. I mean, just look at me.
Chris started marking with a marker on the camera, covered his body and made a circle around his face.
Chris: Can we just please get a decent budget together for hair and makeup? I look like I just fell out of bed. Jeesh.
The recording went back to real time.
Chris; No, seriously, that is some rank stuff. Leshawna, let's jet!
The girl from the neighborhood throned her fingers.
Leshawna: I hope you got a moose-burger recipe handy.
The moose snorted.
Leshawna: easy, boy. You don't want to make me mad, now.
The moose now withheld an angry moo.
Chef: Sweet mother of-
The moose broke through the corral and ran over the chef, Leshawna held on as best she could, while the camera now showed Gwen and Bridgette with their backs turned.
Bridgette: So?, your guy's a metro sexual with a broken back.
Gwen: So?, your guy's a grammatically challenged skater flake.
Leshawna: Is that the best you got? You got nothing.
Gwen sighed in defeat.
Gwent: Okay, so it wasn't trent or geoff.
Bridgette: Yeah. Plus, we kind of just assumed it was for us.
Leshawna: Get me off this thing.
Gwen: Well, whoever it is, we're gonna find out. Deal?
Bridgette shakes her hand.
The sasquatchanakwa had prepared the bags of marshmallows, but before he could eat. The moose ended up crushing them. The cryptid only sighed and just ate the crushed candy.
Chris: All right, Leshawna just basically pulverized Geoff mark. Harold, Courtney. You two are going to need some Big times to beat them.
A sequence is shown, where Harold stayed on top of the moose, at the cost of hitting himself multiple times, with the last one sending him flying and crashing down with his legs spread wide open.
Beth was next, and although she didn't have an easy time, she fought back, before the moose balled her up and finished her off with a kick.
Courtney took the helm, and managed to withstand the moose's efforts, until she could take no more and went flying, and landing on Duncan.
And to close it was Owen, who had it somewhat easy, as the moose could barely cope with his weight. In fact he only fell because the animal collapsed.
Chris: So, with the Gophers combined time of 1:47 beating the Basses 1:08, we have a tie. Whoever wins the x-treme sea-doo water ski challenge wins invincibility.
Lindsay: I'm ready.
Everyone saw the blonde, who was wearing a lime green bikini, as well as completely transparent pink glasses.
Dave: ok, i'm going to give her a bit of trust… but i'm glad i get to drive the wave jumper.
Leshawna: Just win the dang shower so I can get my hair done.
-confessional-
Dave: This is it. We're tied for the win. Bad-to-the-bone duncan is driving lindsay. While im skiing for the Gophers. Si winning kinda falls on me, and taking miss fake-nice athlete Sky.
Harold: Shame i didn't get to sirve, i could easily rocked this challange and lead us to victory. But at least whit Sky on Board i can count on her winning and i wont have to vote her just cause Courtney told me. I may need to start teaming with her to survive. Yah go Dirty Harold.
-end of confessional-
Gwen: Okay, so, haikuist candidates are Duncan, Harold, DJ, Dave, or Owen.
Bridgette: Well, we know duncan was crushing on courtney, but he's more of a "tree carving" guy. And harold is--
Harold came out of the confessional, wearing black glasses.
Harold: Ladies.
And stumbled as he had his pants down.
Bridgette: Yeah. What about Dave?
Gwen: He hasn't really shown any crushes. I Guess Owen and DJ, he's been behind Sky from what i've seen
Bridgette; So I'll take DJ, you take Owen.
The camera moved to the mud track, with the equipment set up.
Dave: You are so going down alpha athlete, that shower be mine.
Sky: Respect the heat. But you're gonna need more to beat me.
Chris: Here's the road rules. Oh, wait--there are no rules. Which means this is gonna be awesome!
Bridgette approached DJ.
Bridgette: So, read any good poems lately?
DJ: So, asked any arbitrary, way-out-of-left-field questions lately?
Bridgette sighed and denied to Gwen.
Chris: And go.
Dave started the jet ski, throwing Sky off balance from the sudden acceleration, but it didn't take long for the athlete to recover, thanks to one of the ramps, and take the first flag.
Chris: Flag for bass.
Bridgette/DJ: yes.
Dave was starting to get pissed, not only did he want that shower. He also wanted to make sure Sky lost, so he tried to make more erratic moves. But to little avail, Sky used her athletic skills to not only keep balance, but also to take the flags, racking up 5.
Chris: five flags and heading home.
Dave: That's impossible. Why don't you FALL?
Chris: Dave has to cross the finish line or be disqualified. But when he does, Sky will take five flags to victory for the killer basses.
-conffesional-
Dave: I couldn't let that athlete win. But I'm no Heather, so I needed to play dirty among the clean lines… yeah, I don't tend to say stuff like this if You didn't Guess.
-end of confessional-
Dave tried again with aggressive moves, keeping his eyes back to see if he was knocking Sky off balance.
Sky: You're not going to knock me down, I can con- CAUTION.
Dave: You think I'm going to fall on that one.
Beth: ROCK
Dave turned, and barely caught a glimpse of the rock before he hit it head on. He went flying and landed in the mud puddle in front of him. While Sky also went flying, but keeping his grip on the flags, he spun across the finish line and landed on his feet.
Sky: YES.
DJ: Way to go Sky. You-
Dave: Ahhhhhhhh.
Everyone turned around and saw Dave, completely covered in mud and freaking out.
Dave: SANITIZER. I NEED HAND SANITIZER AND SOAP AND SANDPAPER TO.
Out of nowhere Sky grabbed him by the shoulders and made him look straight at her eyes.
Sky: Hey hey hey. Calm down. You're okay. Slow breathes.
Dave slowly stopped hyperventilating, until his breathing returned to normal.
Sky: Better?
Dave slowly nodded and started walking away leaving Sky a bit confused.
-confessional-
Dave: I... I don't know what just happened. I usually loose a lot more... But somehow Sky... I calm down...
-end of confessional-
Chris: And with a brutal crashing wipeout, the Killer Basses have secured 5 flags. Lindsay needs to catch at least 6 to win.
While Duncan and Lindsay were preparing for the challange.
Gwen: So, if we win, is there a someone special you'll be, uh, showering for?
Owen: Why would I need to shower? We're in the wild.
Gwen: Ugh. Never mind.
Once Lindsay and Duncan were ready.
Chris: ready, set, riding it like it's sweeps week. Go!
Duncan took off, as he went over the first ramp, Lindsay grabbed the flag and did a somersault.
Chris: flag number 1
Gophers: Yeah.
Duncan kept trying to get it off course, but Lindsay took more flags nonetheless.
Chris: flags 2, 3, 4.
Duncan accelerated, but to no avail, somehow Lindsay was being an unstoppable beast.
Courtney: Do something Duncan.
-confessional-
Leshawna: Ok, at what point did Lindsay become a world class tightrope walker?
-end of confessional-
Chris: Lindsay has snagged 6 flags and is racing home for the win. Duncan is euchred. He has to cross.
Duncan: Says you.
Duncan pushed on the brake, sending Lindsay flying off in a whiplash effect, the blonde ended up going over a rock as a ramp. Fortunately that sent her crashing into the finish line timbers as Duncan crossed the finish line behind her.
Duncan: Tortoise beats hare, and punk beats model.
Chris: Yeah, I can't argue with a fact. The Killer Basses win the challenge and the mobile shower.
The Killer Basses celebrated.
Lindsay: I just really wanted that shower.
Dave: I feel you.
Geoff: All rights bra. If you don't mind, i'll be the first to hit that shower.
DJ: Whew. Right you are, my skunky friend.
-confessional-
Geoff: So I landed in a pile of socks, big deal. I can't stink that bad, can i?
All the flies in the confessional fell to the floor in a swoon.
-end of the confessional-
Chris: The Gophers team went belly-up and will now decide which fat-rat to flush, while the basses totally scored some much-needed showers.
The camera shows Sky and Courtney walking out of the showers with their towels, while Harold, Duncan and DJ high-five.
Harold: Don't take too long Geoff, my skin needs soap after that moose rodeo.
The camera panned to Gwen and Bridgette with the letter in the Gopher's room.
Gwen: So, we ruled out Owen and DJ.
Bridgette: I know. So who could it be?
Leshawna: Who could what be?
Beth: Oh, Another note from your secret admirer, Leshawna.
Gwen/Bridgette: Leshawna's the crush girl?
Leshawna: You two know someone else here with a booty as luscious as an apple?
Lindsay: But who wrote it?
Leshawna: No idea, but im not jumping for the hunt. I like when the boy its the one jumping in.
Bridgette: Well, thats this mistery done for now. I'm going to hit the shower, see ya latter girls.
The surfer retired, leaving the Gopher girls behind.
Beth: So. Who are we going to vote for tonight?
Lindsay: I think it should be Trent. He's kinda hurt.
Gwen: What? NO.
Leshawna: Girl, Lindsay actually has a point there, he's in no condition to continue, plus we already voted Cody for the same.
Gwen: Please dont vote for Trent. I trust he be recovered for the next challange. he already got poisoned and he's ok. Couldnt we vote someone else?
Leshawna: I Guess we can consider it. But i'm not giving you a garanty.
Gwen sighed in concern.
The camera cut to the elimination ceremony.
Chris: As you know, if you do not receive a marshmallow you will be eliminated, forced to walk the dock of shame, and you can never, ever return to the camp. EVER.
The team rolled their eyes.
Chris: Leshawna, Owen. You are safe.
They both caught their marshmallows.
Chris: Beth, Lindsay, Gwen, you're safe too.
Chris: Okay, that leaves Dave, who failed big for looking back.
Dave sighed.
Chris: and Trent, who crashed, cracked, impacted and burned.
Trent groaned.
Chris: And, today's biggest bailer it's.

Chris: Dave.
The Hindu sighed sadly, while Trent could barely catch the marshmallow.
Dave: Yup, saw that one as a chance.
Leshawna: Sorry kid, but we had to stand whit Gwen This time. And you did have more control on your failure than Gwen.
Lindsay: And, you've been acting a bit harsh.
Dave: No excuses needed, i'm not mad.
Owen: If it's makes You feel any better, i didnt vote for you buddy.
Dave was actually surprised by that.
Dave: Really? Even after how hard i've been to you these last couple of days?
Owen: Well, maybe ive done a couple of… reckless things. So i get why you we're mad at me.
Dave: Wow… i… i'm sorry if i was too harsh on you. Can you forgive me? Buddy?
Owen: Awww come here little dude.
Owen grabbed Dave and gave him a hug, the others Justin who heard a couple of bones break.
Chris: Ok, I appreciate the nice friendship moments, but we kinda need to finish soon. TV deals and all of that.
Dave waved his goodbyes to the team and walked to the dock, when he heard some steps and turned around to see Beth.
Beth: Wait… I didn't… I didn't get to thank you. You know for all the help with Heather.
Dave: You don't have to thank me. I just did what I felt was right.
Beth: I still want you to have this.
Beth took it from his wrist and placed a bijouterie bracelet on it.
Beth: A friendship bracelet, I want you to be the first to have one.
Dave: Thank you Beth. Good luck.
The two gave each other a hug, then let Dave climb into the loser's boat. He may not have had the experience he had hoped for, but he had made some friends. Then he remembered for a few moments the moment when Sky had helped him calm down, and without realizing it his cheeks reddened slightly.
Dave: I guess it wasn't so bad...
Out of nowhere, a bird dropped its poop on his shoulder.
Dave: Ugh... Of course.

Shut up. I want to be alone for 5 minutes. Let me cry in the corner in peace. I didn't want to eliminate him here... ok i'm done.
Writing this episode was a bit lighter than I expected, the lack of conflict creates a different feel to the writing, it's kind of interesting, because you feel like everything is fine, but deep down you can see little tidbits of problem.
Now, who expected this? Surely more than one expected Dave to make it to the merge at the very least, but nope. He stays out for a few steps, he had nothing to do, and the other members do have a thing or two coming up.
Perhaps the hardest thing to think is that they'll keep him over Trent, but to the latter's credit, he got poisoned by a poisonous fish last time and still managed to stay on his feet, so I decided to use the suspension of him not being taken out due to injury to his advantage.
Dave fulfilled his role here, more than anything he was someone who could bring some logic to the Gophers, and not having to deal with the same team as Pahkitew (where almost everyone was kind of weird) here he dealt with a group a little easier to dialogue with, his biggest problems being Heather and Owen, helping to get the former out of the game and having a little tense relationship with the latter, but as we see, it ends with the two of them being friends. Plus he also has another friend in Beth after helping her with Heather.
The little adventure of the letters remained somewhat similar, with minor details for the obvious changes and, unlike canon, here we still don't have the "reveal" (which we all already knew even before the episode closes).
There's not much more to add, DJ and Sky's plot had a few small touches, and the next challenges are going to be the real test for them as well as for Gwen and Trent.
In the next challenge the teams will be totally shaken up to face each other in a challenge that will test their willpower, their spirit of not giving up, their hunger for victory? And their stomachs.
I hope you liked it, and please don't be afraid to leave your reviews. I like to read them and receive feedback.
