"Last time on Total Drama Island," Chris recapped from the Dock of Shame, "A whopping 100 campers...well, more like 99 campers and an old wash-out..."

"I heard that!" Blainley screamed off-camera.

"Have signed up to spend the next couple of weeks right here in this crummy old summer camp."

...

An image of all 100 campers on the dock was shown, then it changed to them with each team flag. "They were split into four teams," Chris continued, "The Screaming Gophers, the Toxic Rats, the Confused Bears and the Frogs of Death."

...

"After taking some time to meet both old..." he continued as the screen flashed back to Emma trying to jump at Chase, then to Keith and Jane confronting each other, "And new..." The scene changed to Harold and Leshawna's conflict as well as Destiny trying to tackle Caleb."Seeing their sleeping arrangements..." The scene changed to Priya getting smooshed by her bed, Ripper trying to start a fight in the cabin and Lindsay being scared of the cockroach. "And food place..." The next scene showed Chef smashing a burger. "They'll find themselves competing in challenges as the losers will have the tough task of eliminating one of their teammates." The scene flashed back to Valerie getting spooked by Melody, Helen chatting with Corey and Dave talking to Noah. "What's that challenge?"

...

"It's our first challenge," Scott sneered. "How hard can it be?" The scene changed to everyone on top of the cliff. "I did not sign up for this," Gwen said.

(cue commercial)

Everyone was now in their swimsuits and gathered at the top of the cliff. "Okay," Chris began, "Today's challenge is three-fold. Your first task is to jump off this 1000-foot high cliff into the lake."

"Piece of cake," Bridgette, in a dark-blue swimsuit with a wave icon, said.

"It is easy," Priya, in a pink one piece, added. "What else is there?"

"If you look down," Chris instructed, "You will see two target areas. The wider area represents the part of the lake that we have stocked with psychotic, man-eating sharks."

"What?!" 'Smart' Damien, in dark-blue swim trunks, cried out. "You're-you're joking, right?" A shark leapt up into the air for everyone to see before diving down, landing with a SPLASH and drenching Austin. "Does that answer your question?" Rose, in a brown one-piece, replied.

"Inside that area is a safe zone," Chris continued, "That's your target area, which we're pretty sure is shark-free."

"Excuse me?" Leshawna, in a blue-gray one-piece with a cursive 'L' on one side, questioned.

"For each member of your team that jumps and actually...survives, there will be a crate of supplies waiting below. Inside each crate are supplies you'll need for the second part of the challenge: building a hot tub. The team with the best one wins while the losers will be sending someone home."

"Hold on," Greg, with a pair of yellow swim trunks and a shirt that had 'H2O' on it, cut in. "If only last place has the risk of eliminating someone, then what's the point of competing for first place?"

"Because it shows the world you're the best?" Keith, wearing white shorts with his name on the side, told him.

"Oh, have I not told you the reward for winning?" Chris innocently asked.

"Probably because there is none," Blainley, in a red bikini, whipped back.

"Oh, but there is. The producers wanted something to motivate you youngsters, and I came up with the perfect idea." Chris pressed a button, making a monitor pop up from the ground. "Behold!" he announced as the screen turned on, revealing a luxurious mansion. "The McLean Resort and Spa Hotel. This is where the winners of each challenge will reside and it has everything you could imagine: a state-of-the-art gym, a game room, five-star dinners and even a personal masseuse. Where do you think the images for the flyer came from?" Nearly everyone cheered at this news. "So," Chris continued, "Let's see...Toxic Rats, you're up first."

"Oh, wow," Emma, in a dark-green two piece with white flowers and a white swim cap, breathed out. "So, who wants to go first?" However, the Toxic Rats didn't move. "Don't worry," Julia, in a pink bikini with white polka-dots, assured her teammates. "These shows always make those intern guys do this stuff first to make sure it's safe."

...

The scene flashed back to Chris and Chef on the cliff. "We need to test the stunts first," Chris told Chef. "You know that."

"Do I look like an intern?" Chef, in purple trunks with blue flowers on it and an orange rubber ring, asked him.

"No, but the ones we had are all in the hospital. Come on; just jump it, you big chicken." Chris imitated a chicken. "I don't get paid enough for this, man," Chef muttered as he put on a pair of swim goggles. He screamed as he jumped and landed outside the safe zone. "Hey," he breathed out, "I made it. I made it, man." Chef suddenly froze up. "Something just brushed by my foot! Hey, Chris, man, something ain't right down here!" He was suddenly pulled underwater. A moment later, Chef ran out of the water before a shark could bite him. "Well," Chris decided from on top of the cliff, "That seems safe enough."

...

"So," MK, in a pink one-piece, spoke up, "Who wants to risk their lives and step up?"

"Ladies first," Duncan, in dark-gray trunks, replied.

"Fine," Emma decided as she and Bridgette stepped up, "We'll go. It's no big deal."

"Yeah," Bridgette agreed, "Just an insane cliff dive into a circle of angry sharks." The two girls dove off and landed in the safe zone. They waved at their teammates as a large boat sailed over. "They did it!" Wayne, in Snow Owl sport shorts, cheered.

"Guess we're next, buddy," Raj, in trunks similar to Wayne's, told him. The two boys dove off next and landed in the safe zone. "Oh, yeah!" they exclaimed. "Go, Snow Owls! Hoot-hoot!"

"We're the Toxic Rats!" Austin corrected. A montage of the Rats diving was shown. Geoff (who had taken off his shirt) gave a holler as he dived. "Watch out, mateys!" Anthony (in his normal attire minus the shirt and shoes) warned as he dived. B (in dark-orange swim trunks and a gray shirt) dove in silence. Austin (in his normal attire) held onto his hat as he dived. Caleb (in purple-and-orange trunks) surprisingly had his ears covered as he dived. Staci (in a pink one-piece with purple swirls) kept chatting as she dived. Dawn (in a lavander one-piece) was in a lotus position as she dived. "SHA-BAM!" Lightning (in blue trunks that exposed his abs) exclaimed as he dived. Duncan simply had his arms crossed as he dove in silence. "Uh-uh," DJ, in gray shorts that exposed his abs, decided. "No way, man. I'm not jumping."

"Scared of heights?" Chris wondered.

"Yeah, ever since I was a kid."

"That's okay, big guy. Unfortunately, that also makes you a chicken, so you'll have to wear this for the rest of the day." Chris put a chicken hat on DJ's head. "Oh, man," DJ moaned, "For real?" Chris just mockingly bawked at him. "That means the chicken path down is that-a-way," Chris told him as he pointed to an escalator. "Next!"

"Let's do this, team!" Bowie (in pink-and-purple shorts and star-shaped glasses) rallied. He dived off and landed in the safe zone. "Oh, yeah! Come on, guys!"

"Are you sure that this is completely safe?" Scott (in red trunks) asked. "I mean, man-eating sharks..."

"Yeah," Dakota, in a pink-and-orange bikini, gulped as she looked down. "I don't wanna get my complexion all messed up."

"But we'll lose if we don't jump," Nichelle, in a white two-piece, pointed out.

"Well, I'm chickening out," Scott decided.

"Oh, I hear that," Julia agreed. "Sharks are so not in according to the latest posts."

"Two more chicken hats to pass out," Chris decided after putting them on the duo's head. Dakota started to head towards them when she noticed that someone was holding her hand. "If you're scared," Sam, in orange trunks, told her, "We could always jump together."

"You're crazy if you're actually siding with that dork," Valerie (in a sparkly bubblegum-pink bikini with pink-and-black rimmed sunglasses) sneered.

"Butt out, Valerie," Nichelle sternly told her. "This isn't your beeswax! Dakota, it's your choice." Dakota looked at Sam, who just had a bashful smile. "Okay," she decided. The duo ran over and dived into the water, screaming as they fell. "Dakota!" Sam told her as she kept screaming. "We made it! Look!" Dakota opened her eyes to see that she and Sam were bobbing in the safe zone. "I did it!" she cheered.

"Yeah, girl!" Nichelle rallied. "Come on, guys. We gotta meet her there!" She dived off next, followed by Leonard (in green trunks and a matching swim cap) and a giggling Luna (in a purple one-piece with black stars). "Yes!" Harold, in green trunks, cheered before diving off. However, he screamed as he landed with a split, making Leonard, Nichelle and even the sharks wince at the sight. "Ooh, hate to see that happen," Chris commented.

"Excuse me, Chris?" Courtney, in a brown two-piece, spoke up. "I have a medical condition."

"What condition?"

"A condition that prevents me from jumping off cliffs."

"I think that condition is called 'common sense'," MK commented. "I think I have that, too."

"You two can chicken out if you want," Chris told them, "But it might end up costing your team the win. And then they'll hate you."

"It's a calculated risk," Courtney confidently assured him. "I've seen the other teams, and I don't think more than ten of them will jump."

"Okay, then." Chris put a chicken hat on Courtney and MK's heads. "Let's tally up the results. That's twenty divers and five chickens. To the other teams, if you guys can top that, we'll throw in a pull cart to put your crates on. Frogs of Death, you're up next."

"Alright," Keith told his teammates, "We need everyone we can to dive. If everyone goes, the best those losers can do is tie us."

"Yeah, no thanks," Anne-Maria (in a hot pink bikini) sternly told him. "I ain't ruining these perfect looks."

"Jersey Girl's right," Valerie agreed. "Let's go." The two girls collected their chicken hats from Chris. "Wha-?" Keith protested. "Hey! Get back here and jump off! I'm not losing because you two bitches are scared of a little water on your precious outfits!"

"What are those guys talking about?" Nichelle wondered as she, Leonard and Luna bobbed in the safe zone.

"Perhaps I shall halt their progress with a spell," Leonard thought.

"Are you serious?"

"Do it!" Luna rallied. Leonard held his staff up high. "Great staff, bring forth the power," he chanted, "To make the Frogs of Death cower!" A green mist surrounded the trio, and a moment later, there were...three bears in the water? "Is this fur?" Nichelle, the bear with beaded hair, wondered.

"Bears?" Leonard, the second bear with the staff, complained. "Oh, basilisk fangs!"

"That's not how bears sound, silly," Luna, the other bear with different-colored eyes, giggled. "They sound like this!" She did a few growls and stood on Nichelle-Bear's back. "Crazy girl on me!" she screamed. "Hey!"

"What's that noise?" Phoebe (in a long-sleeved one-piece with swimming goggles and a utility belt) wondered. She looked down but quickly froze up at what she saw in the water. "BEARS!" she cried out.

"Change us back," Nichelle-Bear ordered. "This face can't risk damage if I wanna keep my career." Leonard-Bear waved his staff, and everybody was changed back. "Come on, you jokers," Dakota told them from the shore. "Get to dry land."

"What's with her?" Shane (in green-blue shorts with a scale pattern and a matching eye mask) wondered as the team saw Phoebe clinging onto Keith's head.

"There's b-b-bears in the water," Phoebe stammered. Brick (in his normal attire but with a white tank top) looked down to see nothing in the lake besides the sharks swimming in the white circle. "Sharks, yeah," he noted, "But no bears."

"Keith, what are you doing?" Jane (in a Canadian Olympic swimsuit and swim cap) gasped.

"Trying to make sure Wonder Wuss here doesn't wimp out and lose it for us!" Keith yelled back as he held the panicking Phoebe over his head. He tossed her over the cliff, making her land in the safe zone with a SPLASH. "There," he said, "Not to hard, now, is it?"

"Yo, Frog dudes?" Nichelle called out from the boat. "I think your buddy has a problem." Phoebe was struggling to keep her head above the water. "Hang on!" Shane and Brick assured her. "We'll help you!" They dove in, and Nichelle and Leonard winced as the boys hit the buoys before sinking into the water. "Don't just stand there," she told Leonard. "Look for one of those round thingies that are on boats! The...life thingies!"

"I'll save her," Jane volunteered. "Third time's the charm." She dived into the safe zone and pulled Phoebe up by her braid. "Good work, ma'am," Brick congratulated once he, Jane, Shane and Phoebe reached the boat. Phoebe just spat out some water. "Phoebe?" Jane asked her.

"Yes, ma'am?" Phoebe weakly asked.

"You can't swim, can you?"

"No, ma'am."

"Why didn't you chicken out if you can't swim?" Nichelle wondered.

"An idiot got in the way of that," Brick muttered.

"Hey, Nichelle," Leonard spoke up as he came back with a life vest, "I found this." Brick took the vest and passed it to Phoebe. "For any future water challenges," he advised. "Keep it with you."

"Hey, Monkey Man," Jane called out to Keith, "Are you gonna jump or what?"

"Cram it already!" Keith lashed back. "The rest of you maggots better jump if you know what's good for you." He dived off next, followed by Sierra (in a yellow two-piece), Topher (in gray trunks that exposed his abs), Scarlett (in an orange bikini with gray swim goggles), Nikki (in a gray one-piece with 'N-KY' on it) and Laney (in a green-and-black lined top and a red bottom with a yellow star on the left side). "My first cliff dive," Cameron, in mustard-yellow trunks, breathed out. He jumped off but landed with a belly flop. "Ouch," Jasmine, in a white bikini, commented.

"That looked like it hurt," 'Smart' Damien said. "You know what? This is too crazy! I don't care if I have that chicken hat on." Chris put the chicken hat on his head and pointed to the escalator. "Any other chickens?" Chris asked.

"Come on," Axel (in a green two-piece) ordered to the remaining Frogs. "We need to show that we're the superior team. Start jumping."

"The gal makes a point," Jasmine (in a white bikini and her fedora on her head) agreed. "Who's next?"

"I'm not taking orders from some girl," Ripper (in black trunks) scoffed.

"If you don't jump and we lose," Axel argued, "I'll personally see that you're the first one kicked off! Now jump!"

"You can't tell me what to do!"

"It sounds to me like you're both trying to chicken out," someone spoke up. Ripper and Axel turned to see Mike (in green trunks and a white tank top) looking at them. "You calling me a 'fraidy cat, nerd?" Ripper challenged.

"Well, a real man would jump without hesitation," Mike told him. "And Axel, what about you? Only someone weak would get everyone to jump without jumping themselves."

"WHAT?!" Axel lashed out. She and Ripper tried to tackle Mike, but he moved at the last second, making them go over the cliff and into the water. The duo landed in the safe zone with a SPLASH. "Nice move, mate," Jasmine told Mike, taking the boy by surprise.

"Uh, what do you mean?" Mike wondered.

"Don't be modest. Figuring out a way to get those blokes to dive was some clever thinking."

"I think you're overestimating me, Jasmine. Um, I'm gonna...yeah." Mike dived off the cliff, followed by Jasmine, Zoey (in a lime-green one-piece), Helga (in a dark swimsuit with a snowflake icon), Rodney (in dark-blue trunks and a blue tank top), Amy and Samey (in red one-pieces with cream-colored waves). "Looks like we're the last two up," Sol (in yellow trunks with black stripes) told Zee (who only had his pink pants on).

"Sure looks that way, dude," Zee casually replied before sipping on a soda.

"Dude, where did you get that drink from?"

"Huh. I don't know." Sol just pulled Zee by the arm and the duo dived together. "Oh, yeah!" Sol cheered once they reached the safe zone.

"That's twenty-two divers and only three chickens," Chris announced. "Pretty tough to beat. Confused Bears, you're next."

"I'm sorry," Sadie (in a pink polka-dot bikini) began, "But I'm not jumping without Katie!"

"We have to be on the same team, Chris!" Katie (in a matching bikini as Sadie's) cried out.

"Please!" the duo begged. "Can we? Can we, can we, can we?"

"I could switch places with Katie," Bryan (in yellow trunks) meekly volunteered.

"WHAT?!" Echo (in a black bikini with blue swirls) protested. "When hell freezes over!" Most of her teammates looked at her in shock. "I apologize for my outburst," Echo explained, "But I don't think the rules of the game will allow this."

"You know what?" Chris decided. "I'll allow it. Katie and Sadie, you're both on the Confused Bears. Bryan, you're on the Screaming Gophers." Katie and Sadie squealed in delight while Bryan just shrugged his shoulders as he joined his new team, much to Echo's disdain.

Confessional: Echo (Screaming Gophers)

"That smug little bastard! Ugh! Well, this war has only just started, and once I'm done, he'll wish he was in hell where he belongs."

End Confessional

"That means you're up, girls!" Chris told Katie and Sadie.

"We're going, Confused Bears!" the duo squealed as they ran towards the ledge and dived off. They soon landed in the safe zone. "Yeah!" Tyler (in red trunks) cheered. "Yeah! I'm next!" He dived off next. "COWABUNGA!" Unfortunately, he also hit one of the buoys. A montage of the Bears diving was shown. Noah (in red-and-gray trunks) screamed in fear as he dived. Beardo (in maroon trunks with black musical notes) made a whistling effect as he fell. "Look out below!" Eva (in a blue one-piece) warned as she dived. Priya dived without hesitation, along with Alejandro (in a red speedo that exposed his abs), Melody (in a black one-piece with a purple tu-tu) and Lara (now cosplaying as One-Piece's Nami, more specifically the Gyojin Island saga attire). Lauren (in a black two-piece with white bones on it) giggled as she dived, though she landed outside the safe zone. "Hey, Scary Girl!" Dean (in ragged jeans and a white tank top) warned her. "Move!" However, Lauren was happily riding the back of one of the sharks. "Whee!" she giggled.

"That is seriously insane," Dave (in teal trunks) muttered.

"So, who's next?" Dean asked. "Sky, how about you?" He noticed Sky (in a purple tank top, skirt and water wings) was looking down the cliff with worry. "I can't do it," she sadly admitted.

"Why not?!" Dave complained.

"She probably can't swim," Greg shrugged. "Either that or she's scared of the water. Just look at her."

"Please. If we can do it, an athlete like her can do it, too."

"Let's all go together!" Destiny (in an indigo bikini with pink jellyfish, a jellyfish necklace, seashell earrings and red sandals) exclaimed. She grabbed Dave and Greg's arms and dragged them towards the ledge. She dived off, pulling the two boys with her. "AHHHH!" they screamed as they fell. They kept falling until they landed on the water with a hard SMACK! "Ow," Greg moaned before the trio sunk down.

"Did seeing that change your mind?" Dean asked Sky, who simply shook her head no. "Well, one chicken won't hurt anything, and hey, if Dave raises any complaints, I'll deal with him, okay?" Sky nodded and took the chicken hat from Chris. "Next!" he announced.

"Let's keep going!" Jo (in a gray one-piece) ordered before diving. Ethan (in reddish-brown shorts with the English flag on the side) dived next, followed by Sugar (in a pink bikini with a blue star on the side), Shawn (in orange trunks and his beanie still on his head) and Paul (in black shorts with red hot-rod flames). Millie (in a red one-piece with a white stripe down the side and a matching swim cap) looked down from the ledge. "I'm sorry," she decided, "But I'm not risking my neck for a quick shot of adrenaline."

"A girl with smarts, I see," Blainley noted.

"You do realize that you'll be at risk for elimination if your team loses," Chris pointed out.

"Please. Most of these teens on the Gophers look smart enough to chicken out."

"Alright, then." Chris put a chicken hat on Blainley and Millie's heads. "Next!" he announced. Ezekiel (in a pair of light-green shorts and his beanie on his head) dived off next. "YEE-HAW!" he exclaimed as he fell. He hit a piece of rock, making him spin, but he still landed in the safe zone. "Great job!" Ella (in a pink one-piece with a pink tu-tu and pink swim cap) cheered. "I'll go now!" She dived off, joining Ezekiel in the safe zone. "Good job, Ella!" Dean shouted. He noticed Carly (in a yellow bikini with white and pink flowers) waving to him, making him blush a little and stagger back. He ended up getting his pants caught on a rock and ripped off, and he soon fell off the cliff and into the water. "Impressive jump," Chris chuckled, "Though I didn't expect you to be the type that skinny-dips."

"Ew," Millie gagged as the Bears stood on the shore.

"Dude!" Paul complained.

"My eyes!" Greg cried out as he covered his eyes with his hands. Dean just sunk in the water with an embarrassed look. "Okay," Chris announced, "That's still twenty-two divers and three chickens. Screaming Gophers, if you can beat that, you'll get the pull carts."

"Nice," Trent (in red trunks) replied. "Okay, guys, who's up first?"

"I'm sorry," Heather (in a brown bikini) decided. "There's no way I'm doing this."

"Why not?" Olivia (in a light-pink bikini with red hearts on the top) wondered.

"Hello, national TV! I'll get my hair wet."

"You're kidding, right?" Gwen (in a black bikini) asked her.

"If she's not doing it," Lindsay (in a red bikini) decided, "I'm not doing it." She and Heather smiled at each other. "Oh, you're doing it," Leshawna declared.

"Says who?" Heather challenged.

"Says me.I'm not losing this challenge 'cause you got your hair did, you spoiled little daddy's girl!" Most of the Gophers backed away from the duo. "Back off, ghetto glamour, too tight pants-wearing rap star wannabe!" Heather whipped back.

"Mall-shopping, ponytail-wearing, teen girl-reading, peaking in high school prom queen!" Leshawna snapped back.

"Well, at least I'm...popular." The other Gophers were left stunned. "You're jumping!" Leshawna shouted.

"Make me!" Heather challenged. Leshawna simply picked her up and tossed her into the lake. "Leshawna," Heather coughed out from the safe zone, "You are so dead!"

"Hey, I threw you into the safe zone, didn't I?" Leshawna replied. "Now I just hope I can hit it, too." She screamed as she dived off before landing next to Heather. "I thought this was supposed to be a talent contest," Lindsay nervously told Chris.

"Yeah," Chris chuckled, "No." A montage of the Gophers diving was shown. Lindsay, Gwen, Olivia, Cody (in light-yellow trunks with black dots), and Elias (in red trunks and black floaties) screamed as they dived off. Izzy (in a green bikini and swim cap) spread herself out as she dived. "Rock 'n' roll!" Helen (in a crimson bikini with black-and-white music notes) exclaimed as she dived. Rose dived without any hassle, along with Corey (in orange shorts with black music notes), Alan (in white shorts with a red 'X' on the legs), 'Dumb' Damien (in brown shorts and his hat and vest removed) and Echo. "For EVIL!" Max (in gray shorts with purple lines on the sides) declared as he dived. Chase (in red shorts with 'Chase-R' written in green on the sides) gave a holler as he dived. Justin, in gray shorts that exposed his abs, dived next, but he landed outside the safe zone. "Swim!" Leshawna shouted.

"Hurry!" Olivia warned. Justin turned his head to see two sharks swimming towards him. However, the sharks froze when they saw Justin's chiseled body. A moment later, they carried him to shore. "Hey, thanks," he replied.

"I-I can't do it," Beth (in a pink swimming dress) decided. "I'm too scared. I'm sorry!" 'Dumb' Damian and Chase made some bawking noises. "That is so lame," Lindsay said, "Right, Heather?"

"Fully lame," Heather replied.

"I'm not so sure about this," Carly gulped.

"I agree," Bryan nervously added. "It's pretty high."

"It's completely safe," Lucas (in light-blue shorts with white details, light-blue wristbands and a shark-like mask) assured him. "Watch." He dived off, though he hit the cliff many times before hitting a buoy and sinking into the safe zone. "Lo hizo," he gurgled out.

"Ignore him and get diving," Lacey (in a black top with a skull and bones and black shorts) ordered.

"I s-suppose," Bryan stuttered. He took a breath and dived off, landing in the safe zone. "I made it!" he cheered. "Yes!"

"Your turn," Lacey sternly told Carly.

"Um..." Carly thought. "I-I-I can't. I'm just too scared!"

"Well, don't be too surprised when you get booted first." Lacey dived off the cliff while Carly hung her head as she collected her chicken hat from Chris. Owen (in orange trunks) watched her walk down the escalator. "Let's do this!" Trent exclaimed as he gave him a high-five.

"See you at the bottom, big guy," Sarah (in a sport top with a graffiti pattern and gray swim shorts) added. She and Trent dived off the cliff and landed in the safe zone. "Okay, campers," Chris announced through a megaphone, "There's only one person left. You guys need this jump for the win!" He turned to Owen. "No pressure, dude." Owen relaxed a little. "Okay, there's pressure!" Chris admitted. The Gophers were cheering for Owen from the shore. Owen just slid on some green floaties.

Confessional: Owen (Screaming Gophers)

"I was pretty darn nervous. See, the thing is, I'm not that strong a swimmer."

Confessional: Geoff (Toxic Rats)

"I'm looking at this guy and thinking 'There's no way he's gonna make it'."

"I actually thought if he jumps this...he's gonna die."

End Confessionals

"Take a good run at it, buddy," Chris advised Owen. "You can do this!"

"I'm going to die now," Owen said as he turned around. "I'm going to fricking die now." Everyone watched in anticipation. Trent and Sarah looked up from the water with concern. "Come on, big guy," Leshawna breathed out. Owen just shut his eyes as he ran towards the edge of the cliff, much to Chris's shock. "OH, CRAP!" Owen screamed out as he fell. Trent and Sarah smiled from the water until they realized how fast he was falling. Owen landed in the water with a huge SPLASH, creating a wave that knocked everybody, even the sharks, back a couple of feet. "Yes!" Owen yelled out from the safe zone. "Yeah! Oh, yeah, who's the man?!"

"Whoo-hoo!" Beth and Olivia exclaimed.

"Yes!" Leshawna cheered.

"The winners!" Chris announced. "The Screaming Gophers!" Owen was looking around the water. "That was seriously awesome, dude," Sarah told him. "Hey, what's up?"

"I, uh, think I lost my bathing suit," Owen admitted, raising a lot of moans and complaints.

(cue commercial)

The Gophers were pulling the carts with the crates on them. "Forty-nine bottles of pop on the wall," they sang, "Forty-nine bottles of pop. If one of those bottles should happen to fall, forty-eight bottles of pop on the wall." Meanwhile, the other teams were struggling to move their crates across the sand. "Ow," Courtney groaned, "I think I just got a splinter." Lightning effortlessly picked up Courtney's crate. "Shut up and pick up your crate," he told her before dropping it, "Sha-chicken."

"Hey," Courtney argued, "I'm the only one with C.I.T. camping experience here. You need me." Lightning, DJ and Caleb just looked at each other with skepticism. "Let's keep going, people," Axel told her teammates as she pushed a crate forward. "We can still catch up to those Gophers."

"If it wasn't for those queens over there," Keith complained as he pointed to Anne-Maria and Valerie, "We could've won those carts!"

"Hey," Anne-Maria argued, "I want that million bucks, but not at the expense of my looks. Perfect tan...perfect hair...all of this is worth a billion, easy."

"It's still a crappy excuse to chicken out."

"Well, I certainly wouldn't have tried to toss a teammate into the water!"

"How was I suppose to know Wonder Wuss couldn't swim?!"

"You two both be quiet!" Helga ordered. "Crates. Move. NOW!"

"Yes, ma'am," Keith gulped.

Confessional: Keith (Frogs of Death)

"I hate how that Siberian giant made me look like a fool on the dock. After I beat Jane and her wimpy sister, Helga is going down!"

"Come...on..." Greg strained as he struggled to push his crate forward.

"May I help?" Sky offered. "It's the least I can do."

"Considering you chickened out," Dave muttered, making Sky get a downed look.

"Dave!" Noah scolded. "Please excuse him, Sky. He has a thing against jocks."

"Like Desi's thing against handsome dudes?" Greg wondered.

"Not as severe as that, but pretty bad. The local jocks at our school were also the local bullies."

"Well, Dave," Sky told him, "I hope I can show you that the athletes here are better than that." The duo noticed Eva and Jo fighting over a crate. "Well, some of us," Sky meekly added.

"Perhaps," Dave cautiously replied. "Maybe you could tell us why you didn't jump."

"Like I said before," Greg repeated, "She probably couldn't swim or she was simply too scared."

"He's right," Sky sighed in defeat. "I could've helped our team win, but I let my fears get the best of me and-" Dave noticed she was at the brink of tears. "Don't start the waterworks," he told her. "So you got cold feet. Big whoop. You're helping now, aren't you? So dry those eyes and-" He was taken aback by Sky's hug. "Nice moves, Dave," Noah chuckled.

"You think they'll-?" Greg began to ask.

"Oh, yeah. I'd bet money on it."

"Hey!" Dave and Sky protested as a slight blush came to their cheeks. "We aren't- Not a-"

"Just keep moving, you two." Up ahead, the Gophers continued to sing as they pulled their carts. Lindsay picked up a shell to listen to it but quickly had to rejoin her team.

"I gotta take a whiz," Tyler told his teammates.

"Hurry up," Eva sternly told him, "We're already behind."

"Oh, I have to go, too," Katie said.

"You do?" Sadie wondered. "Oh, my gosh. Me, too." Tyler went behind a tree while Katie and Sadie went behind a bush. Courtney smacked a bug flying by her eye. "Ow," she moaned. "I think something just bit me."

"We'll check it out once we reach camp," Anthony assured her. "The sooner, the better."

"My second cousin Denise invented bug spray," Staci rambled on. "Before her, people had to always carry a fly swatter around to deal with swampy, bug-ridden areas."

"Hey, Staci, mind giving me a hand?"

"Sure thing."

Confessional: Anthony (Toxic Rats)

"That Staci is chattier than a dolphin, but I don't see any ill will from her. I'd like to know her reasoning for her chattiness, though. My curiosity's a little peaked."

End Confessional

The Gophers continued on. "Hey, look!" Beth called out. "There's the campground!"

"That was pretty easy," Elias noted.

"I'm pleasantly surprised," Cody added.

"Getting here's only half the battle," Lacey pointed out. "Remember, only the best hot tub will win this."

"I've got plenty of spray paint for a wicked design on the outside," Sarah offered.

"I can help wire the heating system," Elias added.

"I'm sure most of us are good with a hammer," Alan said.

"And the rest of us can relay water," Rose finished. "We've got this, team!"

"Yeah!" everyone else but Lacey cheered.

"Just start opening the crates," Lacey ordered.

"All better?" Eva asked Katie and Sadie once they returned.

"Yep," Katie replied.

"Come on, Courtney," Emma told her. "We need to keep moving!"

"I'm coming!" Courtney shouted back while she had one hand over her eye. "But I think my eye is swelling up."

"You're seriously not gonna let them get ahead, are you?" MK asked her as she pointed to Katie and Sadie pushing their crate. However, their pace began to slow down. "Something's itching me," Sadie said. "Are you itchy, too?"

"Totally itchy," Katie agreed, "Really bad."

"Remember," Chris told the Gophers, "You guys can only use your teeth to open the crates. I came up with that one." Izzy was tugging a rope with her teeth. "I think I've got it open!" she muffled. She yanked the crate open. "Ow! Ow! Rope burn on my tongue!"

"How in the world did you get rope burn in your mouth?" 'Smart' Damien wondered as the Frogs arrived at the campgrounds.

"Quit worrying about them and start assembling this," Keith ordered. "We're on the clock, people!"

"Do you have to be so bossy?" Jane scolded. "I get that we're trying to win-"

"No, it seems that I'M the only one trying!"

"You're not-" The two started to argue until a sharp whistle silenced them. "Quiet, both of you!" Axel ordered. "We won't get this built if you keep arguing. You two, Zee, the twins and Ripper start relaying water for the tub. Now!" The group reluctantly headed off.

"Ooh, it's really itching now," Sadie moaned.

"Mine feels like it's burning," Katie noted.

"Okay, I have to scratch!" The two started to scratch their butts. "You two are way behind the other two teams," Chris told the Rats and Bears after he drove up in his ATV. "Like, way behind. What's the problem?"

"Their butts are itchy," Courtney replied. Chris turned to see that she now had a swollen eye. "Oh, my boxers, that's bad!" he cried out.

"Did you guys squat down when you peed in the woods?" Bridgette asked Katie and Sadie.

"Yeah," Katie answered.

"Did you happen to notice what kind of plants you were squatting over?"

"They were kinda oval-shaped and green and all over the place," Sadie explained.

"Were they low to the ground? About this big?" The two girls nodded yes. "You guys squatted on poison ivy," Bridgette told them. Katie and Sadie went wide-eyed with shock. "No!" they cried out.

"No way!" Chris laughed. "That's awesome!" Meanwhile, the Gophers were pulling out their supplies. "Hey, check it out!" Owen exclaimed. "I got wood!"

"I've got some tools here," Rose noted, "And what looks like a pool liner." Leshawna noticed Heather and Lindsay walking over to her. "I just wanted to say I didn't mean that about you being a ghetto rap star wannabe," Heather told her, "And I love your earrings. They're so pretty."

"Straight up?" Leshawna wondered with a little surprise. "Well, I'm sorry about pushing you over the cliff and all."

"No worries. I needed a push. Truce?"

"Yeah, yeah, you got it." The duo went their separate ways. "Did you mean all that stuff you said to LaFonda back there?" Lindsay asked Heather.

"Leshawna," Heather corrected with a scoff. "No. She's going down! And P.S., those are the ugliest earrings I have seen in my life."

"Oh. So if you hate her, why are you being nice to her?"

"You ever seen one of these shows before? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

"Oh! I'm your friend, right?"

"Oh, yeah." Heather then muttered under her breath, "For now." Meanwhile, the Frogs were working on building their hot tub. "Will the ladies be participating?" Laney bitterly asked Anne-Maria and Valerie.

"Have you seen these nails?" Anne-Maria argued as she filed her fingernails. "This is why I drive with my feet."

"You need to help out or we're gonna lose!" As the two argued, no one noticed Valerie creeping over to their hot tub's heating system. "They can't blame me if it's the nerdling's fault for losing," she slyly chuckled as she turned the knob from 'steamy' to 'Arctic'. She and the others quickly noticed the Bears and the Rats arriving at the campground. "Finally," Harold breathed out.

"Hey," Nikki greeted, "What's up?"

"Hey, Bears," Leshawna cut in, "Aren't you missing a couple of girls?" Priya, Ezekiel and Shawn looked around. Over by the lake, Katie and Sadie were soaking their butts in the water. Suddenly, some water bubbled up. "Oops," Sadie said.

"They're getting a drink," Priya explained.

"Yeah," Noah teased, "If they drink with their butts."

"Oh, that's funny," Ezekiel chuckled.

"Joke around later," Paul told the boys. "We have a hot tub to build."

"And decorate!" Destiny piped in. "You forgot the decorating bit, Paulie." She winced as she noticed Courtney's swollen eye. "What happened to your eye?" she asked.

"Nothing," Courtney fibbed as she covered it with her hand. "Just an allergy."

"I think it's getting worse," Caleb noted.

"Shut up! We don't want them to know that!" Later, most of the Rats were gathered by the cabin steps. "Okay," Geoff began as he stood on top of the crates, "Dudes, it's not too late. We can do this!" Harold was half-asleep, Courtney was looking down, and Dawn was meditating. "Your aura is exceptionally purplish-green," Dawn told B, to his bewilderment. "Oh, it suits you, though."

"Hey, have you guys seen that crazy girl of ours?" Nichelle asked the group. B and Dawn just shrugged. Over by the Bears, Paul had hammered the final nail in the hot tub while Destiny painted some floral decorations outside. "That was quick," Paul noted. "All that's left is to fill it with water."

"We've got this!" Destiny cheered. "Hey, Greggy, you guys got the water?" She noticed Greg walking up, soaking wet. "Greggy? You don't have to get drenched to get the water."

"Quick!" Lara breathed out as she ran over with a bucket of water. "Get this in before-" She was suddenly knocked back by a blast of water. "That's the problem we're having," Greg explained. The group turned when they heard Luna giggling. "Come and get it, toots!" she challenged as she clutched a hose.

"Where in the world did she get a hose from?" Destiny wondered.

"It's just a little water," Paul scoffed. "I'll grab the-" He was suddenly blasted away with some weird brown liquid. "Please tell me that's mud," Greg moaned as he wiped some of it off his glasses. "You know what? I'd rather not know."

"Looks like we've lost Luna for a while," MK noted to her teammates. "Though I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or a good thing."

"Okay, look, guys," Courtney spoke up as she stood up, "We have a hot tub to complete and we need a project manager. Since I've actually been a C.I.T. before, I'm electing myself. Any objections?"

"Where do we begin, Cyclops?" Duncan blandly asked.

"Open the crates. Bridgette, go find out where Luna is. We need all the help we can get." A montage of everyone building was shown. Jasmine, Brick and Sol were hammering their hot tub together while Harold and Geoff were simply placing the wood together, though the boys' tub fell apart. Helen passed Corey a hammer while Duncan and Lightning fought over their hammer. It soon slipped out of their hands and hit Harold on the head. Bridgette then accidentally hit him with a plank of wood. Millie, Destiny and Sky tried to relay buckets of water but were blasted back by Luna's hose. On the Rats' side, Courtney was duct taping a leak in the hot tub. "B suggested adding a string of lights to brighten the tub up," Dawn suggested.

"Be careful," Courtney warned as B stringed the lights around the hot tub. "Whew. You sure the lights are good?" B nodded his head yes. "Okay," Courtney breathed out. "Just be careful with it." The duo left the tub. "Hmm..." Scott thought as he poked his head out from behind the tub and eyed the string of lights.

Later, Chris was judging the teams' hot tubs. He first looked at the Gophers' hot tub, which was perfectly assembled. "This is an awesome hot tub!" he exclaimed, making the Gophers cheer. He then looked at the Bears' tub. "It's incredibly built," he noted, "But it's kinda missing something essential, don't you think?"

"You think we haven't tried filling it up?" Dean whipped back. "Every time we tried, the Rats' maniac kept sabotaging us!"

"No," Luna fibbed, "They were too busy playing with Mister Hosey."

"Well, guess what I found?" Dean pulled out the hose Luna had earlier and turned it on. He sprayed it towards Luna, but she simply hopped out of range, making the blast of water hit Carly. "Miss me, miss me!" Luna teased in a sing-songy manner. "Now you gotta kiss me!"

"Sorry, Miss Morningstar," Dean apologized after switching the hose off. "I wasn't-"

"Save it, dude," Noah told him. "You can blabber to her later." Chris then looked at the Frogs' tub, where Helga was relaxing in. "I see you made yourself cozy," he noted.

"If it's good enough for Helga," Rodney declared, "It's good enough for all of us. CANNONBALL!" He jumped into the tub, but he suddenly shivered as his skin turned blue. "Water looks pretty cold for a hot tub," Chris commented.

"A li-li-li-little," Rodney chattered.

"Perfectly cold," Helga sighed as she leaned back.

"What genius set the temp to 'Arctic'?" Keith demanded as he eyed the heating system.

"Moving on," Chris decided. He eyed the Rats' tub, which sprayed a bit of water at him. "These lights?" he wondered.

"Wanna do the honors, big guy?" Sam asked B. B simply pressed a button, lighting the tub up with a gentle glow. However, the lights started to spark a bit before creating a weak explosion, which was enough to break the hot tub. "Well," Chris decided, "I think we have a winner here. The Screaming Gophers!" The Gophers cheered again. "Gophers, not only are you safe from elimination, but you'll be relaxing in that glamorous hotel until the next challenge and you get to rock this hot tub for the rest of the summer! Bonus!" The Gophers kept cheering. "Confused Bears, if you had just added the water, you would've won, but I'm sure second place is still good." The Bears started to perk up. "Frogs of Death," Chris continued, "While your hot tub is more of a penguin paradise, at least it's intact. You're safe for tonight, but just barely."

"Third place?!" Keith complained. "Come on!"

"Could be worse," Helga shrugged. "Hey, why is water getting warmer?" She noticed Rodney sighing in relief. "AHH!" Helga cried out as she jumped out of the water. "He peed!"

"I-I-I couldn't help myself," Rodney meekly explained.

"Toxic Rats," Chris told them, "What can I say? Sucks to be you right now. I'll see your sorry butts at the bonfire tonight."

"We won!" Lindsay cheered. "We all get to stay here for another three days!" Heather and Beth hugged her. "WHOO-OOO-OOO-OOO!" Owen exclaimed, though he was now completely naked. "We get to stay-ay! We get to stay-ay! We are so awesome! We won the contest!" He hugged Lindsay and Heather, much to the latter's shock.

Later, the Frogs of Death, Confused Bears and Toxic Rats were eating dinner at their respective tables. "So, uh, what do we do now?" Julia wondered.

"We have to figure out who we're gonna vote off," Courtney answered.

"Well, I think it should be Princess..." Duncan decided as he pointed to Courtney, "Or Influencer..." He then pointed to Julia, "Or Mister Safety..." He then pointed to Scott, then to MK and DJ, "Or the brick house and Blanderson."

"What?!" Courtney protested. "Why?"

"Because, unless I'm mistaken, you five are the only ones here wearing chicken hats. And if we ever have to lift a truck, I like our odds with the big guys."

"You guys need me! I'm the only one-"

"We know," Bridgette interrupted, "Who used to be a real C.I.T., so who would you pick?" Courtney looked around for a moment. "What about...him?" she decided as she pointed to Leonard.

"No!" Sugar protested from the other table. "Not the wizard!"

"Hey, at least the weirdo jumped off the cliff, chicken wing," Duncan pointed out.

"Shut up!" Courtney snapped back.

"Okay," Geoff cut in, "Let's just chill out. This is getting way too heavy."

"I've had enough prison food for one day," Duncan decided as he got up. "I'm gonna go have a nap."

"I'm with you, man," Caleb agreed as he got up. "I don't wanna get in the middle of this." The two boys walked off. "You can't do that!" Courtney protested. "We haven't decided who's going yet!"

"May I have a word?" Bowie spoke up. "I have an idea on who to vote for. Something that will benefit us all in the long run."

"I guess we're open to suggestions," Emma shrugged. Later, the Toxic Rats were at the Campfire Ceremony. Leonard, Bowie, MK, Sam, Dakota, DJ, Anthony, Staci, Austin, Julia, Lightning and Scott were in the back row while Harold, Dawn, B, Wayne, Raj, Caleb, Courtney, Emma, Nichelle, Duncan and Luna were in the front row. "Toxic Rats," Chris began while Chef held a plate of marshmallows, "At camp, marshmallows represent a tasty treat that you enjoy roasting by the fire. At this camp, marshmallows represent life." Geoff stretched a bit and winked to Bridgette, who gave a silent giggle. "We've got plenty of contenders for who should go tonight," Chris said.

"Courtney," Chef commented, "Not only did you refuse to jump, but people consider you pretty bossy."

"I was trying to keep us organized!" Courtney pointed out.

"Sure you were. Luna, you didn't help your team construct the hot tub."

"Why bother speeding up your own team when you can slow them down?" Luna asked with a giggle. "That's what I did to those stupid Bears."

"In case it wasn't clear before," Nichelle spoke up, "That girl is a few marbles short."

"B," Chef told him, "It was your idea to put the lights on, which caused the hot tub to break apart and your team to lose." B just hung his head. "But we tested the lights before we put them on," Dawn defended. "I'm not sure how they stopped functioning properly."

Confessional: Scott (Toxic Rats)

"I know how." He threw a pebble against the wall and caught it. "It's 'cause I slit the lights while their backs were turned. And once my plan goes into action, those Rats won't know what hit 'em!" He missed the pebble, which hit him in the eye.

End Confessional

"Who'd you vote for?" Wayne asked Raj.

"You, brah," Raj happily told him. "How about you?"

"You, dog! Hope we win!"

"Uh, guys?" Nichelle pointed out. "You're supposed to vote on who you want to eliminate."

"Oh, that's our bad," Wayne realized.

"Sorry," Raj added.

"You've all cast your votes and made your decision," Chris continued as he took the plate of marshmallows from Chef. "There are only twenty-four marshmallows on this plate. When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow tonight must immediately return to the Dock of Shame to catch the Boat of Losers. That means you're out of the contest. And you can't come back...ever. The first marshmallow goes to...Geoff." Geoff happily got his marshmallow and put it on a stick. "Austin," Chris continued.

"Whoo!" Austin cheered. "Place at the table." He collected his marshmallow. "Nichelle," Chris continued, "Scott, Lightning, Bridgette, Julia, Anthony, Dawn, DJ, Sam, Dakota, Bowie, Harold..."

"Yes!" Harold cheered before collecting his marshmallow.

"MK, Emma, Duncan, Staci, Leonard, B, Wayne and Raj."

"Oh, yeah, bro!" Raj exclaimed after the duo collected their marshmallows.

"Still going strong, Rajie!" Wayne cheered.

"Luna," Chris continued. Soon, only one marshmallow remained. "Campers," Chris announced, "This is the final marshmallow of the evening." Courtney got a worried look while Caleb was more relaxed. "..."

"..."

"..."

"..." Chris almost said something and raised his hand up, adding to the suspense. He pointed between Courtney and Caleb. "..."

"..."

"..."

"...Courtney," Chris finally announced.

"What?!" Caleb cried out while Courtney breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly collected her marshmallow. "Honestly, I was a little surprised," Chris admitted. "But anyway, Dock of Shame is that way, bro."

"I don't get it," Caleb stuttered as Chef led him down the Dock of Shame. "Look at me. How-? Why am I going home? I was the strongest player on my team! I'm smart, kind...this is garbage! I should go back there and give them a piece of my-" Chef pushed him into the Boat of Losers before it drove off.

"The rest of you," Chris told the Rats at the campfire, "Enjoy your marshmallows. You're all safe...for tonight."

Confessional: Bowie (Toxic Rats)

"Yeah, I managed to convince most of the others that Caleb looked unbeatable and voting him off was our only chance." He smirked a little. "I told you: I came for the crown."

Confessional: Jane (Frogs of Death)

"Well, my team didn't win, but at least we didn't lose, either." She sighed. "This is gonna be a long summer. I just know it."

Confessional: Gwen (Screaming Gophers)

"Yep, this camp pretty much still stinks. But now that I'm here, I guess I might as well actually try to win."

End Confessionals

The Gophers were celebrating their victory in the McLean Spa Hotel. "Aw, man," Paul moaned as he and most of the Bears overheard the celebration. "We were so close to winning that, too!"

"But second place isn't that bad, Sir Paul," Ethan assured him.

"Yeah," Lara piped up. "I still think we should celebrate a job well done! PARTY!" She turned on a radio, which played a techno beat. "To the Confused Bears!" Ethan toasted.

"To the Confused Bears!" Sky, Lara, Ella, Melody, Tyler, Katie and Sadie cheered.

"Go, Bears!" Destiny rallied as she did a little dance. "Go, Bears!" Greg, Noah and Ezekiel soon joined her. "Go, Bears!" they cheered. "Go, go, go!" Meanwhile, the Rats were walking back to camp. "Are you recording this?" Courtney asked the camera. It zoomed in on her. "Good," she bitterly replied. "They can enjoy their little party all they want, but I'm gonna win this competition, and no one is gonna stop me!"

Eliminated: Caleb (19-3-1-1-1)

Episode 2! So, to very little surprise, Caleb is the unfortunate first boot of Mega Island. Honestly, he was the only one to have zero plot other than being a first boot.

So, some things stayed similar to canon, like Courtney refusing to jump and such. I've also set a few things up, like Heather and Leshawna's iconic rivalry, Sky and Dave's dynamic, Keith and Jane's feud, and maybe a little something with Carly and Dean.

I'll also set up an elimination table to keep track of who's still in:

100) Caleb (Toxic Rats)

Next up will be a bit of a painful relay and hopefully there will be no nu- Ripper! Luna! Until next time, have a good day.
