Plot
The episode opens by showing Harold, Duncan, and Justin waking up to Chris' french horn alert. All of the competitors emerge from their trailers to find that they are eating pasta for breakfast, and that they will be competing in a sport-themed challenge. Their first part of the challenge is conditioning, where Chris decides who to put them up against in the challenges that really count. Harold and Lindsay end up coming in last in the conditioning, and they are pinned against each other in boxing. Lindsay knocks Harold out, in the end, but Harold wins despite, due to his use of slow-motion. The next challenge put Beth against Heather in badminton. Before the challenge, Chris felt the need to mention his role in a badminton movie. In that competition, Heather lost to Beth, as Beth was modivated by her anger at the Gaffer's insults that were aimed towards her. Then, after the competition, Beth, while angry at LeShawna, reveals that she earlier saw a video of LeShawna saying bad things about all of the other competitors on her way to the spa. They then play the tape, and everyone else is angered by LeShawna's mean comments, save Heather, who says she does the same thing, and wonders why everyone is so angry. In the next challenge, Duncan was put up against Courtney in wrestling. Duncan's "a-game" was easily swayed by his feeling for Courtney, thus ruining his ability to play well. Duncan lost to Courtney due to this, despite his attempts to play normally. Courtney was very proud of her victory. LeShawna was put up against Justin in a "Slam-dunk" challenge. They tied in the competition as their slam-dunks were equally creative. Both of their teams earned one point, which lead them to a tie-breaker. The tie-breaker was a cheerleading competition, which each team coming up with someone to cheer for. The Killer Grips began planning immediatly, but the Gaffers had more trouble. Instead of the entire Gaffer team cheering, LeShawna cheered by herself, as a way of apologizing to the other competitors. The apology was well-accepted, and she was liked once again. The Grips won the challenge, however, as they cheered for Chris, and he was the judge of the challenge At the Guilded Chris Ceremony, Heather was voted off in place of LeShawna because Duncan and Harold liked LeShawna's apology. At the end of the episode, LeShawna walks Heather to the Lame-o-zine, telling her she can consider them friends. Heather then gives LeShawna her wig from the past episode as a farewell gift.
