The episode begins with Cameron and Zoey in a tree.
Zoey: Cameron, do we have to meet all the way up here?
Cameron: I'm sorry Zoey. It's the only place that's private aside from the innumerable cameras.
"That Chris never let anyone get some privacy," Mike said.
"For once, can he please leave us alone?" Zoey asked.
"That bitch is nothing but asking to be arrested," Gwen said.
"No kidding," Harold said.
Cameron: First order of business, get rid of Scott.
Zoey: That jerk's kicked off so many people. Now, it's his turn to feel the pain.
"Still doing the gang up on Scott method, are ya?" Lightning asked.
"You were there," Jo answered. "Just as bad as you once were."
"I ain't like that anymore," Lightning said.
"Sure you're not," Lindsay said.
Little did they know that Scott was eavesdropping.
Scott: *Confessional* I was out setting snares to catch that annoying shark, but I caught something better: two losers. Ow!
"Seriously?" B asked in the comments. "Not cool."
"There were only 4 of us left," Scott said. "You think I was gonna let a girl beat me to the loot?"
Everyone was shocked. "A girl?" Lindsay asked.
"I meant young woman," Scott answered.
"Same thing!" Brick said.
"You know," Zoey said. "Back then, I wasn't trying to eliminate you, but this episode, I am."
"You were?" Scott nervously asked.
"And you're about to see why," Zoey said.
One of Scott's snares makes the tree break. This caused Cameron to fall by Scott, who pushes him into another one, sending him flying away.
Scott: Today's forecast: geeky showers with chance of nerd *after catching Zoey* and a girl.
Zoey then said, "if it wasn't for Scott catching me, that would've been reason 1."
"I think it should've been reason 1," Cameron commented.
"Someone's about to get its comeuppance," Lightning said.
"This ought to be good," B mentioned in the comments.
Scott: Nice of you to drop in. I just had a killer idea totally up your alley. You and I team up and vote off Lightning.
"Me instead of Scott?" Lightning asked.
"Scott's been way worse that season," Jo answered.
Zoey laughed at Scott's idea, but quickly learns it's no joke.
"Did I look like I was playing around that day?" Scott asked.
"No," Trent answered.
Scott: I know we ain't best buds, but you're not exactly a powerhouse. Do you want to go head-to-head with Mr. mega jock?
Zoey: Better a mega jock than a mega jerk?"
"We heard that," Scott, Jo, Justin, and Lightning all said together.
"Show some respect," Anne Maria said. "You starting that fight we had during episode 5 was no better."
"How was I supposed to know it was a real tan?" Zoey asked.
"Just don't do anything that would make me give you a beatdown," Anne Maria answered.
Lightning then came in, swinging off a rope, through the sky and into the water.
"Radical or what?" Lightning asked.
"We can tell," Gwen answered.
Zoey: *Confessional* Ugh, I hate it when Scott makes a point!
Scott: *Confessional* That went well, but when someone hates your guts the way Zoey hates mine, it's always good to have a plan B.
"Did you forget plan B sometimes comes back to haunt the planner?" Lightning asked.
"What are you sha-rambling about now?" Scott asked.
"You'll see," Lightning answered.
It then cuts to Lightning shooting hoops when Cameron pops up after falling to the ground and hitting himself.
"That had to hurt," Justin said.
Cameron: I have an advantageous offer to extend. Join forces with Zoey and I. Together, we'll vote out Scott.
Lightning said yes, but about making the basket. Despite this, Cameron thought they had a deal and walked off.
"I said yes to shooting hoops," Lightning said.
"Oops," Cameron said.
"Guess not all brainiacs think quickly," Anne Maria said.
Cameron thought it was too easy, until he walks into one of Scott's traps and gets sent flying off.
"Thanks a lot!" Cameron said.
"No problem," Scott said. "If you think I was gonna let you loose to a jock-ish bitch."
"I heard that!" Jo commented. Scott then proposes an alliance with Lightning, which Scott assumes went too easy.
"Did neither of you get I was saying yes to shooting hoops?" Lightning asked.
"Karma!" Beth said.
Lightning: *Confessional* The guys kept yapping in my ear, but I shut him out 'cause I was in the zone! Hm, wonder what they said? It Doesn't matter. Lightning's going long, all the way to the finals! Sha-bam!
"Laugh all you want, Mr. Non-Judge-y pants," Jo said. "It isn't over, yet!"
It then cuts to the start of the next challenge.
Chris: Since you've been abused so flagrantly, today's challenge is a super safe, fun challenge.
Everyone approved.
"Finally!" Zoey said.
"I thought a day like that would never come," Scott said.
"Did anyone?" B mentioned in the chat box.
As Chris tries to explain the challenge, he walks into one of Scott's traps, which flings him through the roof of the communal bathrooms, leaving him stuck there. Everyone busted out laughing with Zoey and Lindsay being examples of who fell over.
"That is one of the best!" Lindsay said.
"I know," Gwen said.
"Serves that bitch, right," Courtney said.
"And I thought throwing him overboard was enough of a laugh," Justin said.
Chris then puts Chef in charge and thinks he'll bring pain to the contestants. When the remaining players thought real lightning and thunder were close, it shows some interns making special effects.
"Real smooth, Chef," Jo said.
"Should've known they'd be stupid effects from previous games," Lightning said.
"Total embarrassment," Scott responded. "But did you see how Chris just flung in there?"
"You finally got one right," Mike said to Scott.
It instead cuts to a challenge about making meals.
"Sounds safe," Zoey said.
"We've done that before," Lindsay said.
"Things did get messy, though," Beth said.
"And Heather was too much of a boss to handle," Lindsay added.
Chef then brings in a classic competitor to judge the meals. Jaws drop when they see who it is.
"You bring DJ back, and not Courtney?" Beth asked. "Hope this didn't violate whatever contract you had."
"Not really," Courtney answered.
"DJ's gonna judge what we make?" Zoey asked.
"This oughta be good," Mike said.
The contestants received 20 minutes.
Cameron: What are our options in the way of seasonings?
Chef: Get cooking! *Bang 2 pots together*
"Guess it didn't matter," Jo said.
With only 20 minutes, it cuts to Lightning who thinks there's no food in the forest. He tries getting some from a tree, only to get stung by bees.
"Meat doesn't grow on trees," Cameron said.
"I see that, now," Lightning said. "Like you had better luck."
"Did I?" Cameron asked.
It then cuts to Cameron, trying to get some mushrooms when Scott walks by.
"Are you nuts, Cameron!?" Anne Maria asked. "Those mushrooms had radioactive waste all over them."
Scott: I think you need help. See, I was talking to Zoey earlier, and she seemed a bit worried about Lightning.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Zoey asked.
"Why?" Lightning asked.
"You annoyed me with your sha-attitude," Scott said.
"And you kept leaving Brick behind when he told you and Jo not to," Anne Maria added.
Scott: You see how good he is at this game?
Cameron: He is physically gifted.
"Sha-yeah, I am!" Lighting said.
"See," Scott said. "Right there! You're doing it again."
Scott hands Cameron the mushrooms, who runs off while saying thanks. Little did they know that the tree fell on a beaver.
"Really?" B asked in the chat box.
"That beaver does not look happy," Trent said.
"That's when I knew it was time to flee," Scott said.
While Chris struggles to get out, the boys are being bugged by different animals.
"Some animals just can't take a hint this season," Cody said.
"No kidding," Scott said.
It then cuts to Zoey, who chooses to make a salad.
"Great idea, girl!" Mike said.
"So rad," Courtney said.
"We should make one for Dawn," Gwen said.
Then, Lightning and Cameron got to work, only for Scott to look over.
"Just love eavesdropping, don't you?" Courtney asked.
"Says the one who eavesdropped on Gwen," Scott said.
"That was Tyler!" Courtney protested.
"You did it during All Stars," Gwen reminded.
Scott then gets a sneaky idea in the confessional.
"What did you do, Scott?" Harold asked.
"No spoilers!" B mentioned in the chat box.
"I'm with B on this one," Scott said.
"Fine!" Gwen said. "But I'm still hoping it leads to your potential karma."
For a while, it started looking like a food fight.
"It's like a food fight out there," Cameron said.
"My meal never goes without protein," Lightning said.
"Of course it doesn't," Mike said.
Scott then distracts Zoey to add something else to her salad.
Scott: *Confessional* Poison ivy—really adds that extra tangy zip.
"You added poison ivy to my salad!?" Zoey asked in shock.
Lindsay was the first to barf into one of the buckets.
"Not cool, Scott!" Lindsay said.
It then cuts to Cameron who just made a quiche.
"Wow!" everyone said.
B left a clapping hands emoji in the chat box.
"Thanks," Cameron said.
Everyone was adding the finishing touches on their meals.
"This ought to be good," Harold said.
"Let's hope there isn't much puke after this," Justin said.
"There's already a bit in one bucket," Lindsay said.
Time then expired. The gang went up to show their meals. Zoey made a salad, Lightning made maggot cannelloni, and the other two made quiches. DJ then ripped the ropes off and ran away.
"Too living?" Zoey asked.
"Maybe Italian dishes aren't my thing," Lightning asked.
"You think?" B asked in the chat box.
"What was wrong with my quiche?" Cameron asked.
"Maybe he got post traumatic stress disorder from our eating challenge," Trent answered.
Chef then switches things to where the cooks become their own judges.
"My quiche will still have a sweet taste to it," Cameron said.
"Yeah!" Zoey said.
"At least one meal will pull through," Mike said.
It then cuts to a commercial break.
"Finally a commercial break," Beth said.
Stay tuned for the second half of the episode.
