Hide and Be Sneaky

'''The campers play an extreme game of Hide and Seek with someone who hunts them down one by one with a huge water gun. Some campers start an alliance and others get caught. One camper's amazing hiding spot wins her invincibility. An unexpected player is voted off thanks to the new alliance.'''

Plot
After Trent is voted off the island, Gwen goes into a temporary depression, but her spirits are lifted when LeShawna promises that they will get revenge on Heather. Outside, Heather complains to Lindsay about her shredded clothes (courtesy of LeShawna) and Lindsay says that she did steal Trent from Gwen and she should have seen it coming. Heather then disposes of the grape soda Lindsay has been wanting all summer that came with Heather's invincibility prize from the previous night. Lindsay starts to reconsider allying with Heather in the first place after this. The campers then meet on the dock for their challenge, a game of hide and seek. After the campers get ten minutes to hide anywhere on the island, Chef will hunt them down and tag them with a high powered water gun. There are three ways to win invincibility: tag the lifeguard chair before Chef gets you, don't get found in your hiding space, and if you are caught, help Chef find other campers. The campers begin to find hiding places.

Lindsay has trouble hiding. She tries to hide in the boys bunk, bathrooms, and then behind a thin pole. She soon finds Heather hiding in the kitchen and she follows. However, Heather angrily refuses to hide with her, leaving Lindsay hurt and confused. They are shortly found by Hatchet and try to run for the dock, but both get sprayed before they can get there, making them the first ones caught. Meanwhile, Duncan realizes that there are more girls then guys and decides to make a guy's alliance with Owen, DJ, and Geoff. Although Geoff is uncomfortable about being in an alliance without Bridgette, he joins. Owen is also reluctant, but he is forced to join the alliance when Duncan dangles him from a seemingly very high cliff. It turns out that Owen was not really being dangled so high at all but he agrees to join the alliance anyway. After the group splits up, Owen and DJ both hide on the kitchen roof, not realizing the other is there.

Izzy's hiding place is actually following Chef around, then hiding in the kitchen rafters, but she sneezes and is found. Chef and Izzy soon get into a fight similar to the Matrix and Izzy runs for to the chair, but is sprayed and is out. Bridgette hides behind a large rock, but runs into a family of skunks. Then she trips, gets tangled in a rope that causes a can to fall, and scares the skunks, which proceed to spray her. Chef finds her and she is willing to get sprayed but afterward the smell is still there.

Owen and DJ soon find each other and fight over who was there first, but with both being big guys, they fall through the roof and are found by Heather, who rats both out to get invincibility. Gwen is hiding under grass but Chef steps on her and gets her out. Then, Geoff is found in a tree, leaving Duncan, who is in a cave, and LeShawna, who is in the lake, left in the game. While the group attempts to find Duncan, Owen accidentally spills the guy's alliance idea to Gwen, but she does nothing about it. Duncan is soon found. With all of the campers found except LeShawna, Chef realizes the only place she could be is in the water. When they get to the lake, LeShawna is sitting on the lifeguard chair and wins herself invincibility.

After the game, the girls have a meeting (with Bridgette outside because she stinks) and realize to save themselves, they must vote as a group. Bridgette suggests Duncan for his criminal ways and Gwen and LeShawna agree. But Heather thinks it should be Owen for he is constantly happy and untrustworthy. Lindsay agrees and Heather convinces Izzy to vote off Owen in exchange for being best friends. However, Gwen speaks out saying Heather won't keep her word and Lindsay agrees with her, so Heather knocks her favorite nail polish on the floor. This makes Lindsay question being in Heather's alliance even more. Meanwhile, the guys agree to vote off Bridgette for being likable and the best of the girls at sports. Geoff disagrees, and he suggests to vote Heather off because of knowing about the Guy's alliance. Duncan said they can't because she earned invincibility. Duncan says they might not get another chance. DJ and Owen vote for Bridgette, and, much to his protest, Geoff agrees.

At the ceremony it comes down to Owen, Bridgette, and Duncan, all having racked up a bunch of votes. Owen gets his marshmallow, which leaves Bridgette and Duncan. It is Duncan who gets the last marshmallow and Bridgette is voted off the island, much to everyone's shock, even Chris'. Before Bridgette leaves, Geoff confesses to her that he didn't vote her off. They almost kiss except he recoils at the last minute because she stinks. For not voting for Bridgette, though, Geoff is hung upside down for the night.

Quotes
Lindsay: Well, you did steal Gwen's boyfriend. That's pretty major. Heather: Shut up! Lindsay: Heather is my best friend on the island. I mean, sure she steals my food and borrows my clothes and call me names but that's what BFF's are for: Best Female Friends! Heather: Who cares about friends? In this world, there are shepherds and there are sheep and Lindsay is a major sheep. Baaaaaaah! Lindsay: I think she really respects me and my strategical ideas. Heather: I've got flip-flops with more brains than her but hey, she's useful right now, so I'll keep her close. And when I don't need her anymore, I'll dump her. Chris: Why don't you demonstrate, Chef? (Chef gets his water gun ready and blasts the left side including Chris, while he has been blasted a mile away) NOT ON ME, DUDE! Chris: Lindsay, couldn't you do better than hiding under your covers? Lindsay: Fooled you. This isn't even my bunk. Chris: Oh, Chef Hatchet...! (Chef Hatchet bursts through the door, with a very angry look on his face) Lindsay: YAAAAAAH!!! (quickly zips out of the bed and runs outside) Lindsay: Who's there? Chris: The entire viewing world. Lindsay: The entire viewing world who? (Owen kisses DJ once and Duncan multiple time, then the two back away, disgusted) Owen: Ugh! (slaps his forehead) Duncan: All right, now clear out! Geoff: What? Duncan: I was here first; this is my hiding spot! Izzy: Oops! Guess you heard that, huh? DJ: What are you doing in my hiding spot, man? Owen: Your hiding spot? It's mine! (the roof seems to be losing its weight upon Owen) Do you know how hard it took for me to get up here? DJ: (the roof loses its weight upon him) Look, I know we're tight and all, but... (before he can answer, the roof breaks, DJ falls through the roof of the dining hall) Aah! Owen: Ah! DJ, are you okay? (the roof breaks, Owen falls through the roof of the dining hall) Aah! (after falling through the roof of the dining hall) Owwww, I landed on my keys! Lindsay: Okay, that was a limited edition. I am never gonna get that nail polish back. I'm starting to think that maybe Heather isn't such a nice person after all... Duncan: Because we can't; she's got invincibility again. Besides, everyone likes Bridgette, and she's great at sports. We might not get another chance, dude. All in favor of booting Bridgette? (DJ and Owen vote with Duncan) That settles it. Here's to the Guys' Alliance! (looks to Geoff, who has not voted) Geoff? (Geoff reluctantly joins hands with his alliance-mates) Owen: Okay! Okay! We'll form our own alliance! (Duncan drops Owen and Owen lands perfectly) Owen: (nervous) Wow Duncan, Juvy made you a really scary dude.
 * Heather: I cannot believe LeShawna shredded my clothes! She is so going to pay for this.
 * (in the confessional stall)
 * Duncan: (seeing Chef with his water gun, sarcastically) Oooh, we're gonna get splashed by a bit of water. Now I'm terrified.
 * (Chris goes to the Screaming Gophers' cabin)
 * Chris: Knock-knock.
 * Chris: You're gonna have to do a lot better than that if you want to avoid capture.
 * Owen: I am so psyched! A dude's alliance! I love it! It's so manly! Yeah! Come here!
 * Chef Hatchet: This is my kitchen! Otherwise known as "Forbidden Territory!"
 * (Izzy, in the rafters, sneezes and Chef looks up at her)
 * Izzy: You'll never get me aliiiive!
 * (Owen and DJ gasp when they see each other on the roof)
 * (in the confessional stalls)
 * Geoff: Why don't we vote Heather off? She's got dirt on all of us, dude.
 * Chris: (after revealing that Bridgette was voted off) Okay, that was a shocker. Even I'm shocked and I knew the answer.
 * Duncan: Are you sure now? (while dangling Owen from a cliff)

Trivia

 * Title Reference: This episode title is a parody reference to the childhood game, Hide and Seek.
 * Owen says to DJ that it was very hard to get on top of the main lodges' roof, but he seemed to hop on and hoist himself up easily.


 * With Bridgette's elimination, every female member of the Killer Bass has been eliminated. The three other Bass members (Duncan, Geoff and DJ) were all guys (not counting the switch between Izzy and Katie).


 * The campers in the confessional for this episode were Lindsay and Heather.


 * When Bridgette is eliminated, she seems to be really sad. Yet she stated in her audition tape she would "leave with her head held high." But, on the other hand, that was before she met Geoff.


 * Interestingly there was only one boy from the Screaming Gophers (Owen) and one girl from the Killer Bass (Bridgette) in the final ten campers.


 * The final marshmallow went to Duncan in this episode.


 * Izzy might have given LeShawna a freebie, because she is the only one who found out where LeShawna was hiding. If Izzy won invincibility, then she must of located someone other than LeShawna because she was the only one who Chef did not find. However, she may have not sold out LeShawna because they were (or at least Izzy thought) good friends and Izzy may have avoided getting voted off because no one really thought she was a threat.


 * If there were three votes against Owen (Heather, Lindsay and Izzy), three votes against Duncan (Gwen, LeShawna and Bridgette) and three votes against Bridgette (Duncan, Owen and DJ), then Geoff would have been the deciding vote. Geoff says he didn't vote for Bridgette, but for her to be voted out, he must have or else it would have been a tie. It is likely one or two of the girls voted her off thinking she wouldn't be eliminated, Lindsay may have decided not to vote for Owen because of Heather's actions, and Izzy may not have wanted to risk Owen's elimination, meaning that Lindsay and/or Izzy may have voted for Bridgette to make up Geoff's mystery vote. (However in the next episode, it is revealed that Geoff did vote Bridgette out. He is seen having a crying fit in the confessional.)


 * This is the fifth known romantic duo (Geoff and Bridgette) to be split up. The first couple was Tyler and Lindsay in Phobia Factor. The second was Duncan and Courtney in Basic Straining. The third was Harold and LeShawna in X-Treme Torture. The fourth was Trent and Gwen in Search and Do Not Destroy.


 * Everybody's hiding spots in this episode are:
 * Duncan: A cave.
 * LeShawna: Underwater.
 * Gwen: Under a grass cover.
 * Owen and DJ: On the roof.
 * Izzy: Behind Chef; then on the ceiling.
 * Lindsay: Anywhere (until she finds Heather and hides with her).
 * Heather: Chef's kitchen.
 * Geoff: The top of a tree.
 * Bridgette: Behind a rock.


 * Lindsay begins to question her role as Heather's BFF (Best Female Friend) in this episode.


 * The remaining guys in the competition form a Guy's Alliance in this episode after realizing the girls outnumbered them.


 * In this episode, Izzy fights Chef, making her the first to do so. This is also the start of a small running gag of Izzy and Chef dueling (which is continued in Alien Resurr-eggtion). Duncan also fought Chef in Hook, Line, and Screamer (though he was wearing his psycho killer outfit).


 * LeShawna wins solo-invincibility for the second time.


 * Every Camper (except for the ones that were still on the ceremony seats) seemed so shocked that Bridgette was eliminated (even Heather). This is odd seeing as how DJ, Duncan and Owen must have voted against her and there must've been others who had to vote against Bridgette in order for her to be eliminated. However, it is possible that they did not expect it to happen.


 * Duncan was perfectly calm during the ceremony where he could have been eliminated (whereas Owen and Bridgette were holding their breath when it came down to the final two marshmallows).


 * Heather also wins invincibility for the second consecutive time. If a camper found another camper, they would win invincibility. Heather could have shared it with Lindsay (but didn't), as Lindsay was with Heather at the time and they found DJ and Owen at the same time.


 * This is the second time Chef is in charge of a challenge. The first time was in Basic Straining.


 * This is the fifth episode in a row where skunks appear.


 * Owen's line "Owwww I landed on my keys" could be a possible reference to the scene in Wayne's World when Garth Algar and the others are crawling in the grass and Garth says "Hey guys wait up. I fell on my keys".


 * This is the first episode in which two campers won invincibility, excluding when teams were still around, meaning an entire team was invincible.


 * This is the second episode in which Izzy screams her infamous line, "You'll never get me alive!". The first time is in Up The Creek.
 * The strength of the Water Gun was changed throughout the episode.
 * When Chef Hatchet hit Chris McLean, he was pushed very far back away.
 * When Chef Hatchet hit Heather and Lindsay, it was enough to make them fall down, but they did not get pushed back.
 * When Chef Hatchet hit Bridgette, she didn't even move at all.
 * However, it is very likely possible that Chef can control how much power is put into the Water Gun.
 * This is the first episode written by Tom McGillis.

Goofs

 * Izzy actually was never sprayed; she slid into a puddle made by the gun (though this must have counted since she was seen shortly after following the others who were captured).


 * When Heather and Lindsay get caught by Chef, they are sitting by the mess hall. DJ already is on the roof but he is not seen on it.


 * After Izzy sneezes (and Chef spots her) she is wiping her nose and her wristband is missing, yet in the very next scene it is back on. The wristband is also on the wrong wrist while she is flipping through the air (though it appears on the usual wrist right after).


 * When the girls are in the shower and Gwen screams, "Who turned the hot water on?!", the episode's close captioning says that it was said by Nikki. However, there is no Nikki in the show (though there is a Nikki in 6teen which was made by the same creators of the show and resembles Gwen in many ways).


 * When Bridgette was tip-toeing to a hiding spot with the decoration cord tied to her ankle and during Chris' line "I love this show.", her ponytail was in the wrong spot.


 * When Heather is holding up her shredded shirt, it actually looks more like a t-shirt, instead of the tank top she usually wears.


 * Geoff's hat did not fall off when he was hung upside down to sleep.


 * Bridgette, DJ, and Geoff are running side by side, in that order when Chef and them run to get LeShawna. However when they show them again, the order is Bridgette, Geoff, and then DJ. It is possible that DJ ran in front of Geoff.


 * When Chris is doing the recap, he says Heather won Invincibility for the "umpteenth" time, but it was really the first time she won solo-invincibility.
 * Owen tells DJ that it was very hard to get on top of the roof despite the fact Owen managed to get on it instantly.
