Brain vs. Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown

'''After a long, hard season, only two contestants remain to battle it out for the million-dollar prize. They are taken to a coliseum to battle it out in the ultimate final challenge. In addition to fighting each other, they must also overcome numerous obstacles during the challenge. In the end, one contestant, despite going out of his way to save his friends, manages to overpower the other and win the challenge, the money, and the season.'''

Plot
The episode first starts off from the night before where Cameron is sad that Zoey didn't make it to the finale. Lightning however is happy because it will be much easier to win the million dollars due to Cameron's lack of athleticism. Cameron tells him that even though he isn't that strong, he still has as they call it "game". Lightning shows his "game" by lifting a log over his head and saying how he's got it in the bag. Cameron points out though that he could not win if the last challenge is a intellectual one but Lightning points out that past Total Drama finales have always been physical and states that he can crush Cameron like a grape.

In the confessional, Cameron's is shown not to be worried, but terrified. However, he points that this bubble boy has come a long way and how he can do anything if he can beat Lightning. After he says that, Lightning scares him saying the same grape threat. Cameron says on the other hand if Lightning wins, he will still have a bubble to stay in for the next 16 years growing his skin back while eating his mom's sandwiches through a straw. Lightning screams the word grape making Cameron even more terrified. He says to his mom if she's watching this to start pumping out the oxygen.

Lightning is then in the confessional saying while doing curlups at the same time, if he was a gentleman he would let Cameron win. (Referring him as a "little girl") But he states that his father didn't raise a gentleman and that the victory will be his before getting scared and falling down due to the horns playing in the background.

Alternate Ending
In the alternate ending, Cameron is seen in his robot suit, which has ran out of power. When Lightning tries to attack him, his armor turns magnetic due to Cameron and all the toxic barrels crowd him. Then Lightning strikes him as he is paralyzed. Cameron then gives out and falls to the ground. As he falls, Mike tells him to get up, but he can't. Jo then encourages Lightning to pin him while he's down. Lightning is seen out of it as he passes out from being struck.

Chris then counts to three as Lightning is on top of Cameron. Chris then announces Lightning wins. At the dock, Chris throws the case at Lightning. Meanwhile, Cameron says he had a personal win by no longer needing his bubble. Lightning then walks on the boat with everyone else saying he's going to buy a stadium for football season. Chris warns him that's not such a good idea, showing his X-rays. Lightning ignores him and hurts his leg.
