Not So Happy Campers - Part 2

'''The two teams face off in their very first challenge: jumping off a one-thousand foot cliff into a small safe zone surrounded by shark-infested waters and building a hot tub out of materials they find in crates at the base of the cliff. As one team bonds rather quickly, the other team already find themselves falling apart, with one person finding themselves on the chopping block, but it is someone's sexist views that get him voted off the island first.'''

Plot
The episode opens from the point at which the previous episode ended, with all of the campers assembled at the top of the cliff. Chris then reveals the first challenge of the series: The contestants must jump off of the one-thousand foot tall cliff into a safe-zone in the lake, which is represented by a small ring of buoys. For every camper that completes the challenge, their team shall receive a point. After every contestant is offered a chance to jump, the points are tallied, with the winning team earning an advantage in the next part of the challenge. Chris also reveals crates of supplies for the second part of their challenge: building a hot tub. The team with the best hot tub gets to have a hot tub party that night, while the losing team must vote a camper off for the first time. Bridgette thinks the challenge is fairly straight forward, but Chris reveals that their target is actually a very small safe zone area inside the lake, and that the rest of the lake is loaded with rare freshwater man-eating sharks.

The Killer Bass are up first and Bridgette volunteers to go first, successfully landing in the safe zone. Spurred on by her victory, Tyler enthusiastically jumps next. Although he crashes painfully onto one of the buoys in the lake, he still lands in the safe zone. Geoff, Eva, and Duncan then successfully complete their jumps with no sign of fear at all. However, DJ is afraid of heights and does not jump. Due to this, Chris places a chicken hat on DJ's head and taunts him before sending him down the escalator that all "chicken"s must take. Ezekiel and Harold complete their jumps, but they both end up getting injured, as Ezekiel hits a rock jutting out from the cliff and Harold lands on his crotch. Courtney refuses to jump, saying that she has a medical condition that prevents her from jumping off cliffs. Chris warns her that not completing the challenge might cost her team the win and there will be a good possibility that she would be eliminated as a result. However, Courtney accepts the risk, as she doesn't think that most of the members on the other team will jump.

Only Sadie and Izzy are left for the Killer Bass. However, Sadie refuses to jump without Katie, as the two girls are best friends. Both girls beg Chris to allow one of them to switch teams. Izzy then offers to swap and Chris allows it, placing Katie on the Killer Bass and Izzy on the Screaming Gophers. Katie and Sadie squeal in happiness and excitedly jump off the cliff together.

The Screaming Gophers are up next, and Chris offers them an incentive. If they can beat the Killer Bass' score, he'll give them pull-carts to carry their crates. Heather refuses to jump, stating that she does not want to get her hair wet on national television. Lindsay then immediately says, "If she's not doing it, i'm not doing it." Leshawna then intervenes and argues with Heather about not jumping as she does not want to lose their first challenge all because Heather doesn't want to get her hair wet. They begin to insult each other until Leshawna throws Heather off the cliff, into the safe zone, effectively making her jump. Leshawna jumps after her, followed by Lindsay, Gwen, Cody, Izzy, and Justin. Justin lands outside of the safe area, to the concern of the other campers, but his looks charm the sharks and they carry him to shore. Beth does not jump because she is afraid, but Trent and Noah successfully jump.

After most of the team has jumped, Owen is the only one left. He is not a strong swimmer and is obviously scared of jumping off the cliff. The Gophers are nervous, but Owen manages to overcome his fear and jump off the cliff. When he falls, he makes a tremendous splash, knocking Trent and Noah, who are in the water, to the beach. However, he still earns the advantage for his team.

The Gophers, with their pull-carts, happily sing as they walk back to the campsite, showing how easy the challenge is for them, while the Bass are having trouble and complain about moving their crates without the assistance of wheels. The team's luck becomes even worse when Katie and Sadie have to take a bathroom break and Courtney gets a bug bite on her eye. When Katie and Sadie return from relieving themselves, they begin feeling very itchy. Bridgette surmises that they must have squatted in poison ivy when they went to the bathroom in the woods. The itching becomes so unbearable that Katie and Sadie can't do anything, but scratch, let alone help out with the crates. Meanwhile, the Gophers' hot tub is coming along nicely, as they open crates and find useful parts for assembling their hot tub. Heather approaches Leshawna and apologizes for her rudeness earlier. Leshawna is moved by the apology, and agrees to have a truce with her. In private, Heather admits to Lindsay that her apology wasn't the least bit sincere. When Lindsay asks why she faked being nice to Leshawna, Heather reminds her of the old adage "keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Lindsay asks if Heather considers her a friend, and Heather assures her that she is, "for now."

At this point, the Killer Bass are behind in building their hot tub and two players down, as Katie and Sadie are still tending to their rashes. Geoff and Courtney attempt to rally their team to win the challenge. However, their teamwork is just not as good as the Gophers', who also have one more crate than they do. Duncan criticizes Courtney's high-handed nature, claiming her to not be an effective leader both due to her bossiness and her assuming others' weakness, which includes the Chicken Hat and a black fly bite swelling her eye. As a result, the Gophers build a fully functional hot tub, while the Bass assemble a badly-constructed one that leaks and collapses in on itself, costing them the first challenge.

At dinner, the Bass try to decide who they are going to vote out. Duncan says that it should be one of the two who did not jump, and that he's considering voting out Courtney, because he believes of the two, DJ's strength would be more beneficial in future challenges. Courtney is shocked by Duncan's choice, arguing that her experience as a C.I.T. (Counselor-in-Training) makes her valuable. She tries to shift attention towards Tyler for no apparent reason, which Lindsay blatantly objects to. Then, Lindsay quickly makes an excuse that there is no salt on the table to direct the attention away from the awkward moment she had put herself and Tyler in. Duncan and Geoff, however, aren't interested, as Tyler actually jumped. Ezekiel wonders why their team lost, as the Gophers had more girls on their team. When Eva and Bridgette question as to what he means by this, Ezekiel explains that guys are stronger and better at sports than girls, which especially angers the two of them, who are two of the most athletic Bass girls. Geoff attempts to calm down the angry girls, but Ezekiel continues his misogynistic speak, which angers every female on the Killer Bass.

At the campfire ceremony, Chris has a plate of marshmallows and explains that they will be given out to all campers who are not going to be voted out. The one camper who does not receive one is eliminated and must leave. Chris then gives marshmallows to Geoff, Tyler, Katie, Bridgette, DJ, Harold, Sadie, Duncan, and Eva, although she is not shown. The bottom two comes down to Courtney and Ezekiel, who both start to panic, as dramatic music plays for a while. Chris finally gives the final marshmallow to Courtney, leaving Ezekiel as the first camper voted out of the competition. Chris then suspects that Ezekiel was eliminated for picking his nose, rather than his derogatory comments towards the female campers.

Back at camp, the Gophers are seen enjoying their hot tub party as the Bass walk by. Courtney then signals for a cameraman to come closer to her, and declares to the camera that the Gophers can enjoy their first victory, but she says that she will win the competition along with $100,000 prize and no one is going to stop her.

Goofs

 * When the episode begins and the teams are seen at the top of the cliff, Courtney is missing from her team.
 * It can be seen near the beginning of the episode that Owen is missing both of his ears.
 * Noah was never seen actually jumping the cliff, but it is shown that he did jump, as he is later seen in the water with Trent inside the safe zone shortly after Trent's jump. It is possible, however, that he jumped while Cody and Leshawna were making fun of Beth.
 * During the diving challenge, when campers are in the confessional, they are in their swimsuits. However, when Owen is about to dive, Geoff appears in his usual outfit instead of his swimsuit.
 * When Chris is explaining the Campfire Ceremony, Tyler is not present, but later he is called to claim his marshmallow.
 * There are several goofs in the scene right after Owen's climactic jump:
 * After he jumps, Duncan has two wristbands on.
 * Right after he jumps, the resulting tidal wave washes up onto the nearby beach, and the camera pans over the destruction caused by it. All of the other campers are seen washed up on the beach, along with the overturned Boat of Losers, Chef Hatchet, and a shark. Despite almost everyone appearing in this shot, Tyler is nowhere to be seen. However, it can be assumed that the wave knocked him completely out of the area, maybe blowing him right up into a tree, as one of the sharks was seen to have this happen to them on-camera. Or he could either be behind or beneath the Boat of Losers.
 * As it shows the destruction caused by Owen's jump, Trent and the overturned boat are washed up on the beach as well. However, when Trent asks Owen what's wrong, Trent is seen on the boat, which appears to still be in the water.
 * As the camera pans over the various campers washed up on the beach, Beth and DJ both have their chicken hats, but Courtney does not have hers on, though she is seen wearing it later.
 * Everyone is seen to have been knocked away from the shoreline when the wave comes by, but when they are all shown, they are back by the shoreline.
 * When Chris tallies the jumpers for the Killer Bass after Courtney refuses to jump, he counts eight jumpers and two chickens. Chris also says that the Bass are missing one camper. At that point, only seven had jumped (Bridgette, Tyler, Geoff, Eva, Duncan, Ezekiel, and Harold), two chickened out (DJ and Courtney), and two were left (Sadie and Izzy). After Katie and Sadie both jump, he counts it correctly as nine.
 * After Ezekiel made his sexist comments, Noah and Cody were shown to be sitting at the Killer Bass table, along with Harold, slowly backing away from the shocked Katie and Sadie. However, they are on the Screaming Gophers and should not have been at the Killer Bass' table.
 * It could be however they are just passing through.
 * Chris says that whichever team won the hot tub challenge would be able to use it all summer, but the only time the hot tub is ever seen again is in The Sucky Outdoors.
 * When Katie and Sadie realize they have squatted in poison ivy, the hair curl under Katie's ear is missing.
 * Beth and Izzy were not shown at the hot tub party at the end of this episode, even though they are both from the Screaming Gophers team.
 * When Duncan claims that DJ should stay instead of Courtney, his nose piercing is missing.
 * When the Gophers are building their hot tub, they are at the campgrounds. However, when they are putting the water in the hot tub, it is at the beach. Then, when Chris is judging the hot tub, it is at the campgrounds again.
 * There are also several goofs during the final scene at the campfire:
 * When Chris explains that the campers are never allowed back after elimination, Ezekiel's left hand can be seen, making it appear that he's floating above his seat.
 * With the exception of the very first shot of the scene (in which all of the Bass girls are staring down Ezekiel), Eva completely disappears from the Campfire Ceremony. Her name was never actually called, nor was she actually seen receiving a marshmallow. She was also not seen in the final group shot with the rest of her teammates and their marshmallows after Ezekiel walked down the Dock of Shame. The same could be said for Courtney, who was also not seen in this final group shot.
 * At one point while Chris explains the elimination process, he directs the Bass' attention to the Boat of Losers, already sitting at the end of the Dock of Shame and ready to pick up the first eliminated camper. Yet when Ezekiel reaches the end of the Dock after being eliminated, the Boat of Losers pulls up next to the Dock as if it was never there in the first place.
 * While Chris was taking his time calling the last Bass member's name, Courtney drops her marshmallow stick. When Chris calls her name, she runs up to him without the stick in hand; Yet when she accepts the marshmallow, the stick is suddenly back in her hand.
 * Beth didn't jump, so she had to wear the chicken hat, but when Chris tells them that the Gophers won, Beth is seen without her chicken hat on.
 * When Owen falls off the cliff again in The Big Sleep and in Paintball Deer Hunter, the splashes weren't nearly as high as they were in this instance.
 * When Leshawna and Cody tell Justin to swim away from the sharks, Gwen's hair is wet. However, when Leshawna and Cody mock Beth for refusing to jump, Gwen's hair is dry.
 * Noah is seen helping Izzy and Trent rebuild one of the crates, yet when the Killer Bass arrive, he disappears.
 * Also during this scene, his chest is out of proportion.
 * When Owen jumps off the cliff, the closed captioning say he shouts "Oh, no!" when he really is screaming.
 * The rock that Ezekiel hits when jumping becomes smaller after his turn ends.
 * When the Gophers are encouraging Owen to jump, Lindsay says, "Do it Owen," but it sounds as if Leshawna is saying it instead.
 * When Tyler states he needs to take a whiz, he is holding the same crate that has the chicken hats in it even though it was never seen being brought down the cliff.
 * While in her swimsuit, Izzy's wristband is either on her left wrist (instead of her right) or is missing.
