Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2

'''The three teams, using their various rewards, must race across the desert to the Nile River. There, they must weave baskets to cross the deadly River. Two contestants decide to swap teams, and someone loses their team's reward. As a result, they are the first person voted off Total Drama once again.'''

Recap
This episode picks up where the last one left off, with each team with their objects they were rewarded from the previous challenge. They are all on different colored mats. Harold immediately yells out how his team isn't cowardly, just because their mat is yellow; though, LeShawna quickly responds, saying that the mat is gold, not yellow. Gwen, Courtney and Heather then begin discussing how Duncan had quit the game in the previous episode, with Courtney lamenting that Duncan must be really miserable about having to wait on the plane.

The scene switches to Duncan on the plane, who is enjoying a lime juice and humming Come Fly With Us. Chris comes out of nowhere, asking if he heard what he just thought he heard from Duncan. Duncan denies Chris' remark, but Chris is still suspicious. Back outside, Sierra talks to Izzy about how she thinks Izzy and Owen could take Courtney and Duncan's "favorite Total Drama couple" spot on her fan site now that Duncan had been eliminated.

Chris then introduces the second challenge of the season, "the Amazing Camel Race". Heather exclaims over having the camel advantage, Alejandro, of course, remarks that it's unfair that Team Amazon gets a camel. LeShawna reiterates the fact that Team Victory won the last challenge, but only got a stick for a reward. Chris, then, says that each reward will have it's own advantage. Chris says that all teams would be racing to the most infamous waterway, the Nile River, where teams have to bring the rewards given to them from last episode with them.

In Team Amazon's area, Heather gets on their team's camel and immediately bosses the team around, telling them to move it since it was technically a race they were about to get into. Courtney then goes over and criticizes Heather on how she's already beginning to turn Team Amazon into "Dictatorship Amazon". After everyone (but Cody) gets on the camel, Izzy immediately begins talking in gibberish, quickly explaining to her other teammates that she just introduced herself to the camel in "Camel-ese". At that point, Cody attempts to ask Gwen out. Gwen brings the past up, saying that it was really cool of him setting her up with Trent at one point of the first season. Cody tries to score a date with her, only to have Team Amazon (including Gwen) laugh at him instead.

In Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot's area, Alejandro makes a small speech to his team to motivate them, saying that their team doesn't need a camel, when they have each other and are unstoppable. Sierra begins to see through Alejandro's charm, and comments in the confessional, about how she thinks all the other girls that swoon over him are loco ("crazy" in Spanish). At that point, Bridgette goes into the confessional and apologizes to Geoff over how it looked like she was swooning over Alejandro. She tries to say she wasn't, but messes up when she says that she wants to get back to Geoff and stroke his dark hair, but immediately corrects herself with the word, blond.

Over in Team Victory's area, Harold is playing with their stick by using it as a jousting weapon. Harold then comments on how he could use the stick to defend everyone from deadly sand snakes, common in the area. Hearing this, LeShawna immediately jumped into Harold's arms. Harold then lunges the stick at Ezekiel, hitting him in the face. DJ takes the stick from Harold, warning him that he could hurt someone with it. He throws the stick in the air, but it immediately comes back down with an injured seagull, much to his dismay. The bird is the first victim of the Curse of the Mummified Dog. Back with Team Chris is Really, Really, Really, Really Hot, Noah and Tyler are sitting on the goat, with Sierra on top of Noah shoulders and Owen on top of Tyler's, horribly outbalancing the weight on the goat. Alejandro then jumps on top of Owen and Sierra and easily evens out the weight with his own body.

Outside, Chris gives the teams directions and also warns them of the scarab beetles, which are in mating season right now. Chef then topples down an ancient vase and releases many scarab beetles, on the path to reaching the other contestants. At that point, the bell chimed for the contestants to sing a song. Chris tells them to sing a soothing song to calm the scarabs down; resulting in the contestants singing the second song of the season - Lovin' Time, throughout which the contestants try to escape from the scarabs. Ezekiel throws off the beat of the song, causing the scarabs to turn on them. The scarabs begin chasing after the contestants. The song ends with that as everyone takes off for the challenge with Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot on goat in the lead with Team Amazon on camel in second, and Team Victory on foot in third.

After a while, Team Amazon and Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot change positions, putting Team Amazon in first place. Team Amazon seems to have trouble with commanding the camel to go faster. In second place, Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot is trekking on their goat. Alejandro begins to try charming Courtney, saying that she deserves better than a "quitter" like Duncan. Courtney tries to ignore this, by asking if the camel could go faster so she could get away from Alejandro's truth. In the confessional, Heather even gives in, calling Alejandro perfect. Alejandro then notices a shortcut and steers his team down a different path. Cody notices that Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot is no longer visible and wonders where they are. Team Victory is running in last place. When Bridgette notices that they've run past the same cactus twice, LeShawna realizes that the team had been running in circles the entire time.

Eventually Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot reaches the river; however, the finish line is on the other side of it. Chris yells through a megaphone, saying that they are the first team to arrive to the episode's third challenge, basket weaving. He says that each team must literally weave a boat out of weak river weeds to transport their entire team and their reward across to the finish line on the other side of the Nile. Sierra is delighted by this, as she is a fourth generation basket weaver, and immediately begins picking weeds. Back at Team Victory, who are lost, Harold breaks their team's stick over anger. At that point, he realizes that the stick is actually a divining rod, which could lead them to water. Team Amazon still seems to be arguing over which way the Nile is, when Izzy suggests asking Ruby (the camel).

She begins speaking in Camel-ese, and the camel turns around, seemingly going in the right direction. They come in second place in the second challenge as they see the finish line. They approach Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot, who is half way done with their boat. Sierra goes up to Izzy, apologizing on how so far behind her team was. They both remark on how each others' team has a person that they like and want (Owen, in Izzy's case and Cody, in Sierra's case). Sierra immediately thinks of the idea of her and Izzy swapping teams. Without even asking Chris or Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot,

Sierra begins whipping up another boat for Team Amazon. Alejandro immediately asks where Chris is, telling everyone that he won't allow the switch. Chris comes across the Nile on a speedboat. Sierra then cuffs his legs and sucks up to him, saying that it's his decision and that he is the "best decider" ever. After hearing this, Chris quickly allows it, officially putting Izzy on Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot and Sierra on Team Amazon, disappointing Alejandro. When Heather mocks Alejandro for this, Alejandro returns it by blowing Heather a kiss, something that shocked and annoyed her. Sierra finishes Team Amazon's boat, making Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot watch in exasperation and annoyance but Alejandro motivates his team to keep working. Team Victory then finally makes it to third place in the second challenge and gets started on the third one, with making their boat.

Team Amazon is ready to go, but the camel is disagreeing, as Cody is having a hard time with getting the camel in their boat. Courtney tries to get Izzy to command Ruby the camel to get in the boat, but Noah stops her, saying that Izzy on their team now. All of Team Amazon, then, tries to lure the camel into the boat, to no avail. Elsewhere, Team Victory and Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot finished their boats and are ready to set sail with their more weightless rewards. Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot pulls out of the area and into the water in first place and Team Victory comes behind them in second. Alejandro finally, then, tells Izzy to talk to Team Amazon's camel as it goes into the boat at that point, putting them in third. Chris talks to Chef on how he thinks the challenge isn't hard enough, and, at that point, the bell goes off as Chris announces that it was time for a musical reprise. He tells them that they wouldn't have to sing this song if Ezekiel hadn't messed the first one up, to which Team Victory stares down Ezekiel hard. They then go into singing the third song of the season (first reprise) - Rowin' Time.

During the Rowin' Time song, Harold tells Ezekiel to fend off the crocodiles by hitting them on the nose with something. Ezekiel attempts to do this, using their stick as the weapon, only for the crocodile to eat it. Also during the song, Team Amazon passes Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot and claims first place, hitting the last note of the song, together. Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot gets second and Team Victory claims third. Chris comes into the picture saying that as long as they made it across the finish line with their reward, there wouldn't be an elimination. Ezekiel tells his team that he lost the stick, causing them to be angry with him. Chris says that Team Amazon gets to stay in the Winners' Area of the plane.

At the Barf Bag Ceremony, Chris explains the rules to Team Victory, as they were they only team that did not win, due to Ezekiel. Chris states that there are passports of each team member in the Losers' Area confessional, and that each team member must stamp the passport of the person they want voted out. In the confessional, Lindsay goes ballistic and stamps everyone. Ezekiel stamps out DJ. LeShawna chooses Ezekiel. DJ has a hard time deciding, to the point where Chris has to come in and tell him to hurry up. Harold triple-stamps Ezekiel. And Bridgette, after applying lip gloss and taking some time to choose, chooses Ezekiel. Ezekiel gets voted out and is given a parachute. Chris tells him that he has five seconds before he is thrown out. But Ezekiel doesn't listen, and instead berates his team for voting him off. He is then promptly kicked out of the plane by Chef. However, he is seen immediately after, grabbing onto the very tip of the tail wing and hanging on, saying that he isn't going anywhere.

Duncan is standing nearby and whistles in shock at Ezekiel's elimination, saying that it sucks to be Zeke. However, he is also evacuated from the plane in the same way as Ezekiel when Chris gives him a parachute and says it's the "last stop for non-competitors". Duncan, unlike Ezekiel, does not manage to grab onto the plane and falls straight to the ground.

At the end of the episode, Alejandro is seen in the confessional, declaring (sarcastically) that losing Sierra was "tragic", shrugging it off. He is content with Sierra not knowing much about him, and implies that he is even more evil than Heather. Chris calls him a "real competitor" and signs off the show.

Safety is our number one priority, so please, remain seated with your seatbelts fastened at all times. The plane has one exit, located here.

When dividing into teams, be sure to give your crew a catchy handle. Upon arrival at our final destination, one lucky competitor will receive a parting gift to remember. One million dollars! So stole that carry-on baggage and lock those tray tables in the upright position! We're taking off for one crazy ride! Welcome to Total! Drama! (singing) Woooooorld Tooooour!

 * Tyler: Woah! We're perfectly balanced!

 * This is the second episode where anyone switch teams. This is also the second time Izzy switched teams with anyone. This is the first episode where anyone switched teams since Not So Happy Campers - Part 2 when Katie wanted to be on the same team with Sadie.
 * Coincidentally, Izzy is in both switches.
 * This is the second time that Izzy deliberately helps a rival team to win, thus making her own team lose. In this case, when she instructs Team Amazon's camel to cooperate and get in the boat, thus giving Team Amazon enough time to get the lead and win.
 * The first time was in Up the Creek, which resulted in her elimination.
 * This is the third episode of Total Drama where a majority of the votes were revealed to the audience, the other two episodes being No Pain, No Game, and Rock n' Rule.

 * Lindsay is the only person to not be considered by her team mates for elimination, as everyone else's passports are seen at various times by the sink when certain members are choosing.

 * This is the first time in the series that a death has been seen on-screen, in this case, when the intern that Chris used as a footstool was eaten alive by the scarabs.
 * Just like last season, two non-returning contestant's are mentioned. Trent is mentioned by Gwen and Geoff is mentioned by Bridgette.
 * Chris makes a nod either towards Lindsay's lack of smarts, or her accidental elimination of herself in Rock n' Rule (or possibly both) when he asks if she understands how the voting for who gets eliminated works.
 * This is the third time that another contestant outside of the losing team was present at the elimination ceremony; in this case, Duncan. The first two were in X-Treme Torture and The Sand Witch Project.
 * This could be considered a double elimination, as Duncan was officially kicked out of the game (literally) right after Ezekiel was voted out.
 * Ironically, the two contestants who were eliminated, Duncan and Ezekiel, were the highest-ranking and lowest-ranking Killer Bass members in Total Drama Island (respectively), and the highest-ranking and lowest-ranking contestants in the entire series prior to this episode (as Ezekiel was voted out first in Total Drama Island and was not in Total Drama Action, while Duncan was in the final four in Total Drama Island and won Total Drama Action).
 * Alejandro is the only contestant to use the second confessional in this episode.
 * The raft in the theme song that Harold, Courtney, and Duncan were in appeared during this episode, as well as the crocodiles.

 * He said in the first episode that he was allergic to peanuts. It foreshadowed that he wasn't getting a barf bag.
 * He also said in the first episode that he's never going to sleep in the loser's spot, and ironically he didn't stay in the competition long enough to sleep there.
 * His loss of the stick, and later admitting it to his team, was the major hint, not to mention the ultimate reason, for his elimination.
 * This is the first episode Owen sings.
 * Alejandro was responsible for Team Amazon's challenge victory, since he instructed Izzy to tell the camel to get on the boat.
 * This is one of the few episodes to mention the show's Canadian background.
 * While Chris is doing the recap for the last episode and the contestant's passports are seen, Canadian maple leafs are seen inside the passports.
 * When Sierra talks to Izzy about Owen, she mentions that when he breathes, the national anthem is whistled. It then shows Owen breathing and the Canadian national anthem is played.
 * Also, Team Victory's passports all have the Canadian maple leaf on them.
 * This episode may have been a reward challenge because Chris said that if the teams cross with their rewards from last challenge, nobody will be eliminated.
 * Alejandro said that anyone with an IQ of higher than 163 could figure out the basic weight distribution, by this logic Noah, having an IQ of above 180, should have been able to figure it out before Alejandro did.
 * Lindsay talks to two inanimate objects in this episode: the stick (telling it to start running so they won't get eaten by scarabs) and a cactus (whom she named Pointy).
 * This episode marks the first time in the Total Drama series that Courtney has said both Cody and Izzy's names out loud.
 * The episode uses the fictitious flesh-eating scarab beetle popularized in "The Mummy" franchise, as was the reference in the episode.

Goofs

 * When Team Victory reaches the river their stick appears undamaged, despite the fact that Harold broke it in half earlier.
 * Bridgette applies make-up in the confessional for some reason. However, in Brunch of Disgustingness, she said she was natural.
 * After LeShawna jumps into Harold's arms out of fear of sandsnakes, Harold has trouble holding her up, as his legs shake and his voice is strained. But, when Chris knocks over the scarab beetles, Harold has no trouble holding both LeShawna and Bridgette in his arms.
 * Both Chris and Gwen make references to Duncan being disqualified in the previous episode. However, Duncan was not technically disqualified; he willingly quit.
 * Sierra states Alejandro has never been on TV before. However, He was present at the Gemmie awards, rendering this statement as false. However, she could just mean he's never been in a TV show in which he's known for a role before.
 * Bridgette does not appear in the group shot of Lovin' Time, even though she sings in it.
 * When all the members of Team Victory are on the ground after the river race, the drawstrings on Ezekiel's hoodie aren't attached.
 * When Ezekiel gets kicked off the plane, Duncan is leaning against a tiki statue, but in the next shot, when he says it must suck to be Zeke, he is leaning up against the wall.
 * When Ezekiel was kicked off the plane, he should've fallen straight down like Duncan did.
 * For now, this is the only episode episode what have a musical reprise.
