"Last time on Total Drama Island," Chris recapped, "The campers had their survival skills put to the test when they spent the entire night camping in the woods. Dakota and Sam ended up getting closer after they got totally lost. Scott's mad ghost story telling skills freaked out the Killer Bass. And my intern Izzy played a prank on the Gophers by dressing up as a bear. Unfortunately, a real bear showed up and the Gophers spent the night up in a tree, which really sucked for them. Brick peed in his pants, Jasmine accidentally torched the Bass's tent while chatting with fellow survivalist Shawn, and then it rained. Basically, no one got any sleep last night. Ultimately, the Killer Bass were the ones on the chopping block, leaving Sam without a marshmallow." He stroked the campfire pit until it was out. "Yep," Chris said, "The challenge was rough, all right, and if I have anything to say about it, today's will be even more brutal. Luckily, I do. What fresh horror have we planned for our campers? Find out next on Total...Drama...Island!"

Cameras appear from everywhere, including a gopher's burrow and a squirrel's tree before a clapperboard was clapped.
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine...
The scene moves past Chris and down from the cliff.
You guys are on my mind...
In the water, Shawn was swimming in the water when he was startled by a fish, making him pee his pants. The smell made the fish cough before floating upwards.
You asked me what I wanted to be...
On a surfboard, Dave was trying to coax a frightened Sky until they saw the dead fish. Sky clutched onto Dave's head, making his face turn red.
And now I think the answer is plain to see...
An eagle grabbed the fish and dropped it in the woods, where Dawn was meditating with some birds and squirrels.
I wanna be famous!
The animals started attacking Dawn, making her run off. Scott laughed at the scene until he saw Scarlett giving him an odd stare.
I wanna live close to the sun...
In a life raft floating towards a waterfall, Amy was scolding Samey until the twins fell off.
Well, pack your bags 'cause I've already won...
Lightning was lifting a log like a weight while he stood on a broken tree. Jasmine swung on a vine but accidentally knocked into him.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way...
The duo crashed into the outhouse, knocking Rodney outside.
I'll get there one day...
In the main lodge, Chef spooned some weird soup into Staci and Max's mouth to silence them.
'Cause I wanna be famous!
Brick and Jo were having an arm-wrestling competition but Jo pinned Brick's arm, making him wince in pain. Outside, Cameron was writing in a notebook as he sat on some steps to the beach.
Na, na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na!
Sam was playing a video game on the dock until a yeti snatched it away. He tried to get it back but Dakota pulled the camera away.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
Dakota kissed the lens, which an intern wiped away. She posed as a few off-screen cameras snapped her picture. Some water was splashed onto her, which was revealed to be a giggling Sugar.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
The scene shifted into nighttime. Mike and Zoey were curled up by the campfire and were leaning in towards each other when Ella popped in between them and hugged them, to Zoey's confusion and Mike's annoyance. The scene zoomed out to show everyone else whistling the final notes of the theme song as they sat around the campfire.
(end intro)
It was the night of Sam's elimination. Dakota kept crying on the Dock of Shame as her tears dripped into the lake. "Sam would want you to keep going," Dawn encouraged as she and Jasmine stood over her. However, Dakota kept on crying. "Come on," Jasmine sighed. "Let's go back and join the others." She had to pry Dakota away, making her rip off a piece of the dock. "Sam!" Dakota sobbed. "I miss you!"
"I told you twice already," Amy scolded as Mike looked around the campfire. "There's none of that calamine here."
"And you know you're not always right all the time," Mike snapped back. Samey gave a small giggle, which Amy noticed. "What are you laughing at?" she demanded.
"Sorry," Samey mumbled. She, Mike and the rest of the Killer Bass heard Dakota sobbing as she sat back down. "What's with Miss Fame-Hungry?" Mike asked.
"It was a long goodbye," Dawn explained as she and Jasmine sat down. "A shame they were split when they had just united." The group noticed the Screaming Gophers coming over. "What do you want?" Amy inquired. "Come by to rub it in?"
"We got some extra dessert at the tuck shop," Zoey told them as Ella held up a plate of green jelly with a gummy shark inside. "We thought we could share it. If that's okay with you."
"So what?" Scott wondered. "You're just being...nice?"
"Okay," Dave admitted through a gas mask, "Shawn decided to test a 'zombie repellant' in the cabin and we need some time to air it out."
"Is the gas mask really necessary?" Sky asked him. She gagged when Shawn walked over, doused in the foul stench. "On second thought," she nasally added as she covered her nose, "Do you have a spare?"
"Would you like some, Mike?" Ella offered as she passed the plate to him.
"NO!" Mike suddenly cried out, to her confusion. "I mean, no thanks. I'm good."
"You on some weird diet or something?" Dave scoffed.
"No! I just don't like green jelly." Mike noticed Cameron writing in a notebook. "What are you scribbling?" he asked him.
"Nothing important," Cameron fibbed as he hid the notebook behind his back. Ella passed the plate of green jelly to the Bass, but Scott suddenly panicked. "SHARK!" he screamed as he knocked the plate away.
"Calm down," Sky assured him as she picked up the gummy from inside the gummy. "It's fake, see?"
"I don't care. Sharks just freak me out!"
"I feel your pain," Rodney agreed. "Dogs always give me the creeps."
"You're scared of a little dog?" Lightning scoffed.
"I'm only scared when my dog decides to run towards a mud puddle," Dave added.
Confessional: Shawn (Screaming Gophers)
"So suddenly, everybody's having this share-fest by the campfire. Like, Dave went on and on about his mortal fear's being dunked into sewage water. Cameron's scared of spiders. Even Zoey, the girl who tries to be pals with everyone, admitted she couldn't stand jocks."
End Confessional
"What's my worst fear?" Jasmine thought. "I guess being buried alive."
"The water," Sky gulped. "Though I'm sure you know that by now."
"I don't like eating meat," Dawn admitted. "I mean, I understand the circle of life and such, but the idea of me consuming it..." She shuddered. "Wuss," Scott scoffed under his breath.
"Don't feel too bad," Ella assured Dawn. "I don't like eating apples. What if a wicked witch poisoned it?"
"Please," Amy scolded. "I'm much braver than you or that sister of mine. She's a total scaredy-cat when it comes to-"
"Zip it, Amy!" Jasmine cut in. "If Samey wants to admit something, let her do it!"
"Oh, she admits stuff, alright," Mike teased, "Like how she kept blabbing last night about her fear of getting left alone in the woods." Samey gave a surprised gasp. "Oops," Mike feigned as Jasmine glared at him. "Was that supposed to stay private? My mistake."
"Mike..." Jasmine growled as she readied her fists.
"But I..." Samey stammered. She noticed Mike motioning her to keep quiet. "What was that?" Jasmine asked her.
"Nothing," Samey sighed. Dakota sniffled a bit. "Bad haircuts," she moaned.
"Okay, okay," Amy gave in. "That's truly a scary thing. I couldn't imagine losing these precious locks."
"Well," Jo boasted, "You wouldn't catch me dead in a fru-fru dress."
"I'm not really afraid of anything," Mike confidently said.
"Baloney," Lightning coughed out.
"Oh, really? Well, what's your phobia, Mister Macho?" Lightning got a worried look as everyone turned his attention to him. "The-the-the dentist," Lightning quickly and quietly mumbled.
"Excuse me?" Shawn teased. "We didn't quite catch that."
"Did you say you're scared of the dentist?" Brick asked. Lightning just had a terrified look. "But the dentist is so fun," Ella told him. "The cute waiting room, the pink stuff you gargle down, and the neat toothbrush you get at the end of the visit. What's not to love?"
"Maybe if you were six," Amy muttered under her breath.
"So if a dentist were to show up right now..." Mike taunted.
"Shut up!" Lightning snapped. "What about you guys?"
"Okay," Brick said, "Well, Shawn doesn't like zombies. And I hate the dark. Like, a lot." Mike just rolled his eyes. "Alright, Mike," Brick noted, "You're afraid of something. Spit it out."
"Nope," Mike replied. "Nothing comes to mind."
"Not according to my studies," Cameron muttered as he glanced at his notebook.
"Uh, excuse me? Just what do you mean by 'studies'?"
"It's not your concern, Mike. Just some...notes I'm jotting down."
"Can't you just play nice for a few minutes?" Sky argued as she hugged Cameron protectively. "You're turning into a bully."
"Butt out!" Mike snapped back. The next morning, Chris whistled for everyone's attention as they ate breakfast. "Campers," he announced, "Your next challenge is a little game I like to call 'Phobia Factor'. Prepare to face your worst fears!"
"Worse than this?" Dave gagged as he picked up a fork with a hairy sausage on it.
"We're in trouble," Shawn thought.
"Now for our first victims," Chris announced as a teal-haired intern passed him a slip of paper, "Jo! Meet us all in the theater. It's...dress-up time!" Jo immediately spit out her drink, which got all over Zoey's head. "Jasmine," Chris continued, "You, me, the beach...a few tons of sand." Jasmine gave a shocked gasp. "Wait," Brick wondered, "How did they know those were your worst fears?"
"Because we told them," Dave groaned in realization. Brick and Ella just shared a confused look. "At the campfire last night," Sky reminded them as she handed Zoey a napkin.
...
"What's my worst fear?" Jasmine thought. "I guess being buried alive."
...
"They were listening to us?" Zoey gasped. "That's eavesdropping!"
"It's a reality show, Einstein," Dave bluntly told her. "They're always listening to us."
"Chef Hatchet and Helga," Chris announced, "Didn't you have a special order for Ella here today?" Chef and Helga dropped a crate onto the table near where Ella was sitting at. Ella carefully opened the box to reveal it was full of red apples. She quickly passed out, much to her teammates' shock.
The cast were outside as Chef set up a table in front of Dawn.
...
"I don't like eating meat," Dawn admitted.
...
Chef set down a platter full of meatballs. Dawn winced as she picked one up. She closed her eyes, pinched her nose shut and took a bite. "And Dawn sets the bar way up there!" Chris announced as the Bass cheered. "Yay," Dawn weakly cheered as her cheeks turned green.
Confessional: Dawn (Killer Bass)
She puked into a bucket. "It's just as bad as that class field trip to the chicken nugget factory." She gagged again.
End Confessional
"No!" Dave protested as Helga carried him towards a sewage tank.
...
"Like, Dave went on and on about his mortal fear's being dunked into sewage water," Shawn said in the confessional.
...
"AHH!" Dave screamed as Helga tossed him into a sewage tank. His breathing got shallow as he lifted his head out of the water. "Stay for five minutes so your team gets point," Helga told him as she pulled out a stopwatch.
"H-h-has it been five minutes yet?" Dave stammered, holding back his urge to panic.
"No. Five seconds." Dave could only let out a moan. In another area, Dakota and Amy shared a worried look as Chris arrived with two wigs.
...
"Bad haircuts," Dakota moaned.
...
Chris placed the wigs on the girls' heads, much to their displeasure.
...
"The water," Sky gulped.
...
Sky was in her swimsuit as she and the others stood at the top of the big cliff. "Just dive into the water to get a point," Chris explained.
"Oh..." Sky moaned as she looked down. "That's a lot of water...I'm not sure..."
"Just jump already!" Jo complained.
"You can't blame her for being scared," Brick argued. Sky looked down at the water again. "I..." she stammered. A hand tapped her on the shoulder, and she turned to see a face with two tusks coming from its mouth and two black eyes staring back at her. "RAWR!" the figure growled.
"Mishipeshu!" Sky shrieked as she jumped up in fright. She soon noticed she wasn't standing on the ground and quickly fell into the water below. The figure laughed as he tugged at his face, which was revealed to be Mike wearing a mask. "Not funny, Mike!" Sky scolded.
"But you jumped, didn't you?" Mike argued. The score went up to one point for each team, making the Gophers cheer. Sky just gave an angry gurgle from the water as she sank down.
Back at camp, Cameron quickly dashed away from the teal-haired intern, who was now dressed like a spider. "Man up!" Mike shouted. "It's just a bug! You like studying bugs!" He noticed Sky and Shawn shaking their heads in disapproval. "What?" Mike wondered. "We can't afford to fall behind in this challenge."
"Looks like Cameron flunked his challenge," Chris noted. "Hey, good work on the spider scare, Gwen."
"Whatever," the teal-haired intern scoffed as she kept walking. She then noticed a notebook lying on the ground. "Looks like Cameron dropped this while he was running scared," she quietly murmured as she picked it up. Her eyes widened as she scanned through the pages. "Oh, talk about getting the dirt on someone!"
Confessional: Gwen
"Apparently, this notebook of Cam's is a psychological analysis of Mike, and it's a total page-turner! I'm not gonna disclose too much in case somebody sees this, but my impression on him has changed a bit. I wonder if Cam can analyze some of the other interns here."
End Confessional
"I have to wear that?!" Jo protested as Chef held up a poofy pink dress with laced sleeves. "Oh, no. No, no, no, no, NO! I'm not wearing that stupid piece of clothing! Not even for a million dollars!" She stormed off the stage, much to the Gophers' disappointment. "Um, may I have that dress, Chef?" Ella asked. The dress was tossed at her head. "Thank you!"
Later, everyone watched as Samey started heading into the woods. "You've got this, girl!" Jasmine cheered. "It's just a six-hour hike by yourself."
"Please," Amy scoffed. "She won't last even one hour."
"Quit being such a Negative Nancy. She can do it."
"I have to side with Amy on this one," Mike cut in, making Amy smirk. "I bet her twin sister will be so sad to be split apart like that." Samey overheard this and perked up a bit. "I can do this," she chanted, "I can do this. I can do-WHOA!" She tripped over a stone and fell face-first into the dirt. "Like I said," Amy repeated, "Not even an hour."
Confessional: Jasmine (Killer Bass)
"Wait a minute. Did Mike set this up just so Samey can have some peace and quiet from Amy? Huh. Didn't expect that from him."
Confessional: Mike (Screaming Gophers)
"I figured someone might take advantage of all the info being spilled at the campfire. Why do you think I kept me and Sammy's mouth shut? I wasn't born yesterday, you know."
End Confessionals
At the beach, Jasmine had a nervous expression as Chris shoveled some sand on top of her. "There's enough air in this box for an hour," Shawn explained as he leaned down towards her. "You only need to do five minutes."
"As long as we decide to dig you up," Chris teased.
"Not funny!" Jasmine yelled out in a panic. Shawn passed her a walkie-talkie. "I'll be listening the whole time," Shawn assured her. "Just yell for me if you start to panic and I'll dig you right up."
"Goodbye, cruel world," Jasmine gulped as Shawn sealed the box shut and another pile of sand was shoveled onto her.
(cue commercial)
Back at the stage, Scott was standing in front of a large tarped tank.
...
"SHARK!" Scott screamed as he knocked the plate away. "I don't care. Sharks just freak me out!"
...
Gwen pulled the tarp away, revealing a large shark inside the tank. Scott screamed as he backed away. "You've got this!" Rodney encouraged.
"Don't wimp out, dude!" Lightning warned him. Scott inched closer to the tank when the shark blinked. "AH!" he shouted. "It blinked!"
"I think that means he likes you," Dakota guessed.
"It's a whale shark, Scott," Dawn informed him. "It only eats plankton. You'll be completely safe."
"But-but-but it's so big," Scott stammered. "And it's mouth..."
"We need as many points as we can get!" Amy argued. "SUCK IT UP!"
"Okay. I'll try." Scott inched closer to the tank. The whale shark opened its huge jaw, frightening Scott and making him run off. The rest of the Bass groaned in disappointment.
Back at the beach, Shawn was sitting near the timer where Jasmine was buried. "You still alive and un-zombified?" he asked through the walkie-talkie. "Only three minutes left."
"You'll dig me up then, right?" Jasmine gulped.
"I wouldn't leave you in there to suffocate. I'm not going anywhere."
"Thanks. That's sweet of you. Uh, how much longer is it?"
"Still three minutes. How about I distract you with a story?"
"Okay. Um, I have to know about why you fear zombies so much." Shawn let out a heavy sigh. "Sorry," he told Jasmine through the walkie-talkie. "No one asked me that before. Believe it or not, I used to be a fan of zombies cause the only ones I heard of sounded innocent."
"Yeah?" Jasmine squeaked out. "What changed?"
"Well, when I was six, my folks took me to an amusement park and I snuck off to head for this zombie ride. But it was more horrifying than I could've ever imagined!" Unknown to Shawn, two people were creeping up from behind. "This wasn't some sort of kids' place," Shawn explained to Jasmine. "All I could see were stains of blood and brain matter on the floor, and then, I saw these green-skinned people moaning and groaning for-" Someone tapped on his shoulder, making him turn around. He froze as he saw two green-skinned girls with ragged clothes walking up to him. "Brains..." the duo groaned.
"ZOMBIES!" Shawn screamed out. He bolted, dropping the walkie-talkie as he ran off. "Shawn?!" Jasmine cried out. "Shawn! Don't leave me here!" Shawn kept running from the two zombies chasing him as Chris and the remaining campers watched on. "Just talk to them, bra," Chris advised. "Just get them to go away and you'll get your point. Okay, then, we've got two minutes before Jasmine's done. Brick, you're up."
...
"And I hate the dark," Brick admitted, "Like, a lot."
...
Brick gulped as he faced the entrance to a dark cave. "Five minutes inside and you're done," Chris explained.
"Okay," Brick breathed out as he stepped inside the cave, "You are...bigger than the dark. You are better than the dark. You..." He noticed a thousand eyes opening up in the pitch-black cave. "You're...not alone in the dark!" He soon let out a loud scream. "What is he moaning about?" Jo complained. "It's just a cave." The group noticed hundreds of bats flying out before Brick ran out. "T-t-too dark," he stuttered. "T-t-too dark and creepy."
"Chris!" Helga shouted as she walked over towards him, "Goth Girl said to warn you about bats in-" She saw the colony of bats flying past her. "Never mind."
"Weren't you supposed to keep an eye on Dave?" Chris asked. Helga just blanked at the realization. Back in the bathrooms, the timer dropped on the ground went up to thirty minutes. "Hello?" Dave moaned. "Am I almost done? Somebody? Anybody?!"
"It feels like we're going nowhere with this," Mike moaned. "Who's next?"
"Zoey's next," Chris answered.
"Me?" Zoey gulped. Soon, she was standing at the cabins as the Gophers watched her. "One jock for you to hug," Chris informed her as he dragged Lightning over. Zoey let out a quiet moan.
Confessional: Zoey (Screaming Gophers)
"I don't downright hate jocks, but it's hard to like them when they're all bullies and juvie rejects with a collective IQ of ten."
End Confessional
"I'm, um, not really..." Zoey stammered.
"Oh, come on!" Jo complained. "Just do it already!"
"Look who's calling the kettle black," Sky whipped back. "You didn't do your dare, did you?"
"How much longer do I have to stand here?" Lightning wondered with irritation. "I've got better things to do than hang out with these weakling Gophers."
"Weaklings?" Mike argued. "We are not weaklings, especially me!" Zoey looked between the two boys with concern. "We've only lost once so far," Mike continued. "That's three less than you Bass. So unless you suck at basic math, it seems like you and your team are the losers around here."
"Lightning never loses!" Lightning boasted. "I don't know how to lose!"
"Maybe I ought to show you, then."
"We better split those two apart before a fight starts," Sky advised to her teammates.
"Why?" Jo asked with a smirk. "It might be good to watch."
"One-on-one," Lightning challenged as he and Mike eyed each other. "Anything goes. No holding back. Winner take all."
"Bring it," Mike replied. Ella, Cameron, Brick and Sky quickly covered their eyes but were surprised to hear silence. "Are they okay?" Brick wondered.
"Oh, they're something," Chris chuckled. "And the Gophers earn their second point." Brick, Sky, Cameron and Ella looked on to see Zoey tightly clutching Lightning and Mike. "Uh, you can let go now," Chris told her.
"Z-Zoey?" Mike wondered as he got a flustered look.
"Hey!" Lightning complained. "Let go!"
"I'm sure these two boys will stop their fight," Sky assured Zoey. "Won't you, boys?"
"Whatever," Lightning scoffed. Mike could only give out a muffle of a response. "Sorry," Zoey apologized as she released the two boys. "I just didn't want to see you two fight. Are you two okay?"
"Fine," Mike replied.
Confessional: Mike (Screaming Gophers)
He gave a romantic sigh as his blush returned. "Why did she have to stop? It was...truly..." He sighed again.
Confessional: Cameron (Screaming Gophers)
"Yep. He likes her. Guess my theory was proven..." He searched his pockets but came up empty. "Where's my notebook? I hope nobody got ahold of it or I'll be in DEEP trouble."

...
"Well, what's your phobia, Mister Macho?" Mike asked Lightning.
"The-the-the dentist," Lightning quickly and quietly mumbled.
...
Soon, Lightning faced Gwen, now dressed like a dentist. "She's helpful," Amy told him. "You better not blow it, Jockstrap."
"Just let me do what a normal dentist does," Gwen explained.
"Um..." Lightning stammered. "Uh..." He turned to Amy. "Your challenge," Amy told him. "I've got business to do while I keep this stupid wig on." She walked off. "What's that about?" Lightning asked.
"No clue," Rodney admitted. "But you've got this!" Lightning nervously looked at Gwen. "Okay," he said. He closed his eyes and walked towards Gwen. "Is it over?" he asked. Gwen suddenly stuck a toothbrush in his mouth. "Done," she said. The Bass cheered as the score went up to two-all. "Oh, yeah!" Lightning exclaimed. "Let's see those Gophers beat us now!"
"Lovely," Gwen sarcastically replied. She suddenly heard a CRASH. "Was that-? Helga, how long did you leave Dave alone for?! This won't be pretty." Near where the sewage tank was, Dave was running around in a panic. "Sanitizer!" he screamed as he waved his arms around. "I need hand sanitizer! Lots of it!"
Back at the dock, Shawn was looking around when he noticed the two zombies chasing him. "You'll never get my brains!" he shouted as he dove into the lake. The two zombies skid to a stop at the edge of the dock. "Ha!" Shawn confidently laughed. "I win! You can't get into the water!"
"Oh, he makes a point," one of the zombies said. "Our makeup would, like, totally get all smeared."
"Uh, makeup?"
"Yeah," the other zombie spoke up. "It's just a costume. Hey, we forgot to introduce ourselves with all the havoc. I'm Sadie, and this is Katie, and we're BFFFLs!"
"That's 'Best Female Friends For Life'," Katie explained. "Anyway, Chris told us to dress up like zombies and chase you until you gave up or beat your fear."
"You did, like, really good."
"Uh, thanks," Shawn replied with a little confusion as the score went to 3-2 for the Gophers. "Well done, Shawn," Chris congratulated as Katie and Sadie walked off. "Unfortunately, I don't think Ella will have the same amount of luck as you." He smirked as he pulled out a remote.
...
"I don't like eating apples," Ella told Dawn. "What if a wicked witch poisoned it?"
...
Ella was relaxing in a lawn chair on the beach when she noticed a cloud floating overhead. "Oh, hello, little cloud," she greeted. "I didn't know there would be rain today." The cloud started to pour down...apples? Ella shrieked as the apples pelted her head. "Help!" she cried out as she ran off. The others noticed the cloud following her. "That cloud's being so mean!" Dakota scolded. "What did she do to you, huh?" Ella passed where the timer for Jasmine was, which had reached zero. Meanwhile, Chris kept controlling the cloud with his remote. "Can you make the cloud go lower and pelt her harder?" Shawn asked as he walked over to him.
"You are one sick dude," Chris replied, "But yeah." The cloud was now covering Ella's head as it continued to pour down apples. "Wicked," Shawn chuckled. "Um, have you ever had the feeling you've forgotten something?"
"Sometimes," Chris answered, "But I usually ignore it and the feeling goes away." He chuckled. "Watch this. I'm gonna bury her in apples."
"BURY!" Shawn realized. "Aw-" His next choice of words were censored. "Jasmine!" He quickly rushed off.
"Hello, Mike," Amy greeted as she approached the boy.
"What do you want?" Mike bitterly asked.
"Hey, don't sound so harsh! I was just curious to know which way Samey went. With all the wild animals running around and how klutzy she is, I'm a bit concerned about her chance for survival."
Confessional: Mike (Screaming Gophers)
"Like I said before, I wasn't born yesterday. But I also don't wanna pass up the chance to toy at Amy for a bit." He snickered.
End Confessional
"Straight ahead," Mike told Amy. "You're bound to find her soon."
"Thanks," Amy replied as she turned around and headed for the woods.
Confessional: Amy (Killer Bass)
"Samey is gonna pay for the ant thing she set up. What better way than by making her lose her part of the challenge?"
End Confessional
"Ugh, that girl," Mike scoffed as he met up with Shawn and Chris, who were busy digging up Jasmine.
"Not now," Shawn scolded.
"Yeesh. And people complain about me." Suddenly, a loud BOOM caught Mike's attention. "What the heck was that?!" he cried out.
"If I had to guess," Shawn calmly replied, "I'd say someone triggered one of my stink bomb traps." Over by the woods, Dave was moaning as a putrid stench and some other bits of trash coated his body. "WHY?!" he shouted.
"Stink bomb?" Mike wondered. "Wait. Are there any located in the woods?" Another BOOM rang out. "AHHHH!" Amy shrieked. Mike could only laugh. "Oh, that's rich," he breathed out. Shawn soon reached Jasmine. "You're okay!" he exclaimed as the score went to three-all. Jasmine grabbed him by his vest and pulled him down. "I could have seriously died just now!" Jasmine complained. "And you abandoned me in my time of need!"
"But there was-" Shawn tried to explain, "And I didn't-"
"Consider anything we had over!" Jasmine crawled out and stormed off in a huff, leaving Shawn stunned. "Even I'll admit that was a little cold," Mike told her as he joined her side.
"He left me buried there!" Jasmine protested. "Even after he promised to stay!" She stifled a growl. "Clearly, I can't get you to change your mind," Mike noted. "But how about I distract it instead? Amy's going to try to sabotage her sister."
"No way is that happening," Jasmine declared.
"Hold on, Miss Aussie. I already had something planned. We just have to gather up every bit of lotion and shampoo in the area."
"How will that stop Amy?"
"It won't, but it'll knock Queenie off her throne a bit. Trust me."
Confessional: Jasmine (Killer Bass)
"I'm not sure where Mike's leading with this, but if it gets my mind off that-traitor-who-shall-not-be-named, count me in."

"I'm a bit grateful for that break from Amy. And this challenge is really easy. There's nothing that scary in the woods."
End Confessionals
Dave, still covered in trash, moaned as he staggered towards Samey. She shrieked at the sight and quickly ran off. Dave soon tripped over a log. "Oh..." he moaned as Amy approached him.
"I feel your pain," Amy told him as she pulled a banana peel off her shoulder. "Stupid stink bomb. I'm heading back to camp. The bugs are starting to bite my legs up."
"Amy?" Dakota spoke up as she saw her enter the bathroom. "Ugh! Why do you stink so bad?"
"Don't talk to me about that!" Amy lashed back. "I just wanna shower right now. Where are all the crummy soaps at?"
"No clue, but I have some good news. We completed our challenge! We can remove our wigs now!"
"Ugh, thank goodness." Amy and Dakota pulled off their wigs, bringing the score to 5-3 for the Bass. "Aw, I almost forgot how cute I looked," Dakota sighed. "Uh, you look good, too, Amy."
Later, everyone was gathered at a fenced area, though everyone had to stand away from Amy due to the smell still surrounding her. "You seriously reek!" Jasmine gagged. "Haven't you ever heard of a shower?"
"I would take one if somebody didn't use all the soap up!" Amy argued.
"Odd," Dave noted. "There was a full bottle of shampoo when I went to shower, and I swear it was still halfway full when I finished." Amy turned to Mike. "You did something, didn't you?!" she accused.
"Me?" Mike feigned. "Of course not." He winked at Jasmine, who struggled to hold back a laugh.
Confessional: Mike (Screaming Gophers)
"The original plan was to lead Amy through the poison ivy patch and hide all the lotion available, but I seriously didn't plan for the stink bomb. I can't think that far ahead. Still, it worked in my favor and made the plan even better!" He laughed. "Oh, this is just too good!" He continued to laugh.

"Alright, gang," Chris announced as Helga carried a box over to the fenced area, "We're in the ninth inning."
"What is in here?" Helga wondered as she tapped the box.
"Rodney's challenge. He needs to get into the pen for three minutes with this." Chris opened the box, and a large bulldog came running out. "AHHH!" Helga screamed as she leaped into Rodney's arms. "You made me carry that?!"
"You wouldn't have carried it if you knew what was inside," Chris explained.
"Come on, Rodney," Dawn encouraged, "You can do it."
"Yeah," Lightning teased, "Be the bigger dog."
"Nuh-uh," Rodney protested. "Not with that vicious thing!"
"This is the last challenge," Dakota explained. "We need this point."
"No, we don't. Score's five to three in our favor. The Gophers can't possibly win. Victory!" As Rodney cheered, he accidentally dropped Helga. "Oops," he meekly said. "Sorry."
"Not necessarily," Chris corrected. "We've got one more challenge set up."
"Who?" Mike asked with confusion. "It can't be me. But I didn't-"
"You didn't have to. We're always watching you and your reactions."
...
"NO!" Mike suddenly cried out, to Ella's confusion. "I mean, no thanks. I'm good."
"You on some weird diet or something?" Dave scoffed.
"No! I just don't like green jelly."
...
"They really were eavesdropping on us!" Zoey gasped.
"Gee, what was your first clue?" Dave sarcastically remarked.
"It's not like it's gonna matter," Cameron cut in. "Like Rodney said, we're too far behind to win."
"Let's make this interesting, then," Chris announced. "I'll give you triple points if you can complete it."
"That would be enough to beat the Bass," Mike thought. Later, Gwen was stirring a huge tub of green jelly. "And I thought Cadet's phobia was weak," Jo taunted as she eyed Mike. "You're scared of green jelly?"
"No!" Mike protested. "I meant I don't like eating it, not...this."
"Sure, sure."
"I don't blame you," Dave added. "It looks like sugary snot! Blech!"
"You can face your fear and dive straight into this pool of jelly," Chris told Mike, "Or let your team lose the challenge."
"Sure," Mike replied as he headed for the ladder, "No problem."
"Not so fast," Gwen cut in as she dragged a suit or armor over. "There's an added twist to this challenge."
"What twist? And what's with that hunk of metal?"
"You have to wear this hunk of metal for this challenge."
"How strange," Cameron nervously put in. "It doesn't seem to have any relation to his obvious phobia of green jelly."
"Are you serious?" Mike asked Gwen. Gwen simply pushed the armor towards him, making him inch away. "You didn't think we wouldn't notice the trick you pulled at the campfire, did you?" she told him. "If you remove the armor, you'll lose." Mike gulped as he put the suit of armor on him. "This is ridiculous," he breathed out as he started up the ladder.
"You can do it, Mike!" Zoey encouraged. Mike winced as he kept climbing until he reached the top. "Ugh," he groaned as he reached for one of the gauntlets. "So...itchy!"
"You need to keep that stuff on or we'll lose!" Sky shouted. Mike was soon at the edge of the diving platform. "Talk about cruel," Scott commented. "That jelly's probably warm by now. Warm, green jelly...snotty, bouncy..."
"Shut up!" Mike snapped.
"That's it," Shawn said. "Just ignore him. He's just trying to psych you out." Mike looked down at the pool of jelly below. "Oh..." he moaned as he scratched his arms.
"Oh, no," Zoey realized, "He's going to take the armor off! What do we do?" Cameron thought for a moment. "Hey, Mike!" he shouted. "The sooner you dive, the sooner you can take that armor off!" Mike took a breath and dove off the platform, landing in the green jelly with a SPLASH! "Not again!" Dave cried out as he tried to rub the jelly off of him. "Get it off! GET IT OFF!"
"Shower's that way," Shawn informed him as he pointed behind him, and Dave quickly ran off in said direction.
"You did it, Mike!" Cameron cheered after he ran over to the pool. He ducked as Mike quickly removed the armor. The rest of the Gophers cheered while the Bass hung their heads in defeat. "And there you have it," Chris announced. "The Gophers win invincibility this week...again!"
Confessional: Amy (Killer Bass)
"There's only three choices on who to boot tonight: Scott, Rodney or Samey. And considering Scott actually tried and Rodney has muscles on his side, Samey's as good as gone! Especially after that stunt she pulled with the stink bomb. She's going down!"
End Confessional
"Hey, Cameron," Gwen told him as she passed his notebook back to him, "You dropped this in the forest."
"Thank you," Cameron breathed out.
"What is that?" Brick asked as he and Shawn joined his side.
"And what was with that armor?" Shawn added. Just then, Mike rose from the jelly, making Shawn and Brick scream at the sight. "ZOMBIE!" Shawn yelled out.
"Mike, what happened to you?" Cameron wondered as he noticed that Mike's skin was now inflamed and covered with burns. Mike noticed the notebook in Cameron's hands. "Let me see that," he muttered as he snatched it away. He skimmed through the pages and gasped in shock. He then scowled as he turned his attention back to Cameron. "I am so dead," Cameron gulped before Mike dragged him away.
Later that night, the Killer Bass were sitting at the bonfire ceremony. Jasmine, Lightning, Dakota and Scott were in the back row while Dawn, Amy, Samey and Rodney were in the front row. "There are only two marshmallows left on this plate," Chris told Scott, Samey and Rodney as the other Bass munched on their marshmallows. "The three of you did not complete your challenges today. One of you is going home tonight and cannot return...ever! The next name I'm gonna call..." Samey, Scott and Rodney all got worried looks as they eyed the last two marshmallows. "..."
"..."
"...is...Scott." Scott smirked as he collected his marshmallow. Samey and Rodney nervously looked at each other before looking at the final marshmallow. "The final marshmallow of the night goes to..." Chris announced. "...Samey." Samey let out a breath before grabbing the last marshmallow. "Aw..." Rodney moaned in defeat.
"You'll get that dog next time, mate," Jasmine assured him. Rodney soon headed towards the Dock of Shame. "Looks like he's not top dog tonight," Chris teased.
"At least we're not dog-piling him," Scott snickered.
"He's in the doghouse now," Lightning chuckled.
"He was all bark, no bite," Amy added.
"Enough, you guys," Jasmine told them. Later, Rodney boarded the Boat of Losers. "I was doing so well, too," he mumbled.
"Yet, here you are," a voice replied. Rodney turned to see Helga sitting next to him. "Helga?" he wondered. "What are you doing here?"
"I told that host I quit," Helga answered. "So I am taking boat home...s nadezhdoy."
"What language was that? It sounds...enchanting." Helga's cheeks turned a light pink. "Maybe..." she slowly replied. She and Rodney leaned in closer when they suddenly heard a YAP-YAP. The duo screamed and clutched each other in fright when they saw all the dogs on board the Boat of Losers.
Back at the cabins, Gwen knocked on the boys' side of the Gopher cabin. "What is it?" Dave yawned as he opened the door.
"I came to tell you guys that our nurses here, Bridgette and Phoebe, have got Mike all patched up," Gwen explained.
"Yeah, Shawn told me about it. What caused all of...that, anyway?"
"Bridgette told me it was a severe allergic reaction to the metal in the armor. Honestly, I wasn't expecting that."
"Yeesh. Well, what about Cameron? Is he okay?"
"Not sure where he went." Over by the cave, Cameron was dangling from some webs. "I thought you were scared about the armor, not allergic to it!" he defended. "Mike, I'm sorry about that. Can you please free me now? Mike? Hello?" He widened his eyes in fear as a spider crawled onto his nose. "Help?" he squeaked out.

Episode 7 is here! I bet you're a little surprised that I cut Rodney here, but I simply couldn't see him going any further here. But at least he didn't seem to leave empty-handed, wink-wink.
I also focused on a few interactions, the most notable being Jasmine and Shawn, along with Cameron and Mike. How might everything turn out? You'll have to wait for the next episode to find out.
Did you like the cameos made by Gwen, Katie, Sadie and Helga? I figured they would be the best for this episode.
The next episode will be a voyage to the dreaded Boney Island! Uh, was that thunder I just heard? Until next time, this is Dunsparce519 saying enjoy and have a good day.
