Who Can You Trust?

'''The two teams take part in a three part competition where they must put trust in their teammates. Two campers learn that they can easily trust each other. But one contestant loses his pet and loses trust in his best friend. One reveals that they have a soft side to another. Another camper is voted off the island and back to the one she misses the most.'''

Plot
The episode begins with the campers eating breakfast in the main lodge, with Heather still showing the effects of being locked in the freezer during the previous challenge. She blames Gwen for what happened to her. Duncan also steals one of the mugs in the main lodge and Courtney chastises him for doing so.

Later, the teams assemble at the dock and Chris tells the campers that this week's challenge is centered around building trust with three challenges, taking place with duos from each team selected by him to take part. The first challenge consists of a freehand climb up a cliff face with DJ and Duncan participating for the Bass and Heather and Gwen for the Gophers. Chris gives them their climbing gear and explains that one person climbs while the other controls the slack on the rope. The climbers will have to contend with rusty nails, oil slicks, mild explosives and some other surprises. Gwen and DJ put on the climbing gear with Gwen puzzled to see a second rope attached to her, but Heather tells her it's a back-up line. DJ extracts his bunny from his pocket and gives it to Geoff while he's doing the challenge. Gwen openly displays distrust for Heather and, in the confessional, Heather vows to get revenge on Gwen because of what Gwen did to her in the previous episode. During the climb, Gwen falls back after an explosion, but quickly gets back up and presses on. Moments later, Chris sprays Heather with hot sauce and she lets go of the rope to rub it out of her eyes and Gwen hits the ground as a result. Chris sprays Duncan as well, but this proves ineffective as Duncan is wearing sunglasses (to protect his eyes) and opens his mouth to swallow the hot sauce.

Gwen rejoins the climb and, just after she passes ahead of DJ, Heather pulls the second rope attached to Gwen and the skirt covering Gwen's behind is torn away. The torn skirt lands on DJ's face and when he removes it, he sees Gwen's underwear and becomes very embarrassed. Despite this, Gwen continues on, but DJ slips off and manages to act as a counter-weight to pull Duncan up. DJ and Duncan hang in the air as a result. Moments later, Gwen reaches the top and wins the challenge for the Gophers. But then she realizes she is still half naked on television and covers herself with her skirt.

The next challenge takes place in the dining hall, which Chris says is an Extreme Cooking Challenge. Bridgette and Lindsay are chosen to be the cooks for their respective teams and they are going to prepare a meal made from the Fugu Blowfish, a poisonous Japanese blowfish, to be eaten by Geoff and Trent. Trent is very nervous upon learning this and gets Lindsay to confirm she has taken Biology (in which, she said that she was asked if she took Biology, not if she passed it). When the meals are finished, Geoff takes a bite, in which he is fine. Trent takes a bite from Lindsay's dish, punches himself and screams, laughs, then turns blue, falls on the floor and vomits. Chris says Trent will be fine in twenty four hours and Chef administers C.P.R. as a precaution.

A short time later, Geoff and Bridgette decide to go for a swim in the lake. Right before Geoff jumps in the lake, he pauses to put DJ's bunny in a "safe" place before diving in. The scene shifts to the first aid tent where Chef gives Trent a needle for his food poisoning. Back at the dock, Geoff and Bridgette are drying off from their swim when they see DJ's bunny being swallowed by a large snake, followed by the snake being grabbed by an eagle, and then the eagle being swallowed by a fresh water shark.

Later, Chris tells the teams that the last challenge will have three blind challenges: the blind William Tell, the blind trapeze, and the blind toboggan race. For the blind William Tell portion, Chris explains that one team member will be blindfolded and will be shooting crab apples at an arrow perched atop the head of a fellow team member with the first one to knock the arrow off being the winner. Geoff heads off to supposedly get DJ's bunny while Courtney and Owen put arrows atop their heads and Sadie and Leshawna shoot apples at them. Both shooters struggle at first before Leshawna manages to win by knocking the arrow off Owen's head. But Sadie, out of pure stupidity and stubbornness, continues to shoot wildly even when everyone else tries to tell her that the challenge is already over. She ends up hitting Courtney, the bear, the Seagull, and the Sasquatchanakwa before realizing the challenge is over. Before slumping onto the ground unconscious, Courtney vows to make Sadie pay for her recklessness.

For the trapeze segment, Chris explains that the trapeze is set up over a pond full of electric jellyfish. One blindfolded team member must leap into the arms of another team member swinging on the trapeze. If they miss, they land in the pond. Before the challenge starts, DJ asks Geoff where his bunny is and Geoff tells him the bunny ran away, which depresses DJ. Duncan is then seen going off somewhere. With Harold on the trapeze, Bridgette is reluctant to jump at first but Harold convinces her to jump and Bridgette succeeds in making it to the other side. Next, a blindfolded Heather prepares to jump to Lindsay, who is on the trapeze, but Lindsay mistimes the point for Heather to jump and Heather winds up in the pond. Chris declares the Killer Bass the winner of this segment. At the infirmary, Heather, with a jellyfish still attached to her head, walks inside, grumbling about the last challenge, as Courtney wakes up wondering where she is. Courtney then sees Duncan luring a bunny with a carrot, revealing where he went after hearing about Bunny.

Elsewhere, Chris explains that in the blind toboggan race, each team will have a blindfolded driver and navigator, who shouts directions. The teams are DJ and Geoff for the Bass and Gwen and Leshawna for the Gophers though DJ is still disconsolate. The teams set out down a steep hill but Leshawna and Gwen hit water part way down. At one point, Geoff points out that Duncan is waiting for them with DJ's bunny (the one he was luring before). DJ removes his blindfold momentarily to see the bunny. Back to normal, DJ steers his team past explosions to victory in the race but Chris points out that DJ removed his blindfold, which is against the rules, and the Gophers win the overall challenge as a result. Afterward, Courtney confronts Duncan of his good deed. While he denies it at first he confesses to her (who says she won't tell anyone).

The marshmallows are given to Duncan, Bridgette, Courtney, DJ, and Geoff. The final marshmallow is given to Harold leaving Sadie as the camper voted off, just as Courtney had said. Sadie calls the other campers a bunch of marshmallow-eating freaks and runs off to the Boat of Losers wailing and crying. She is very sad because she wanted to win not for her also because Katie told her to, while walking, however, Sadie's sadness fades as she sees her best friend waiting for her on the Boat of Losers. Sadie jumps on the boat and the hug and squeal to be taken away by the Boat of Losers.

Quotes
Gwen: You mean leftovers from the cooking challenge. Chef: Yeah, that's right. You got a problem with that?! Gwen: Sir! No, sir! Gwen: (smirks and chuckles with Leshawna) Too late. Duncan: 'Cause it's cool looking and I don't have one. Didn't have one, that is. Courtney: (after Duncan walked to a table) But you might get kicked off. Duncan: (sarcastically) Aww. And here I thought you didn't care about me. Courtney: We're one player short, and I don't wanna lose because you feel going all criminal on us. Duncan: Whatever. You dig me. Courtney: Ugh! Why do I even bother? Heather: Oh, please. As much as I love your company, I'm not going to throw a challenge just to kill you... yet. Duncan: (sarcastically) Oh, yeah, they teach you how to climb walls in prison all the time.
 * Chef: Today's breakfast is Hawaiian-Italian fusion casserole!
 * Heather: You think that you can just lock me up in a freezer and get away with it? I am gonna make you sorry you ever met me.
 * Courtney: (after Duncan swipes a mug and hides it under his shirt) I saw that! How could you just steal a mug?
 * Chris: Hi, Chris here. Sometimes, teams just don't get along. So the producers and I thought that the best way to work through the group friction would be... to exploit it for laughs. This is gonna be awesome!
 * Gwen: (in confessional) I trusted Trent once; he left me buried alive on the beach.
 * Chris: Normally, we like to let the campers choose their partners, but not this time. More fun for me!
 * Gwen: Excuse me, can we trade partners? I really don't feel like being dropped on my head today.
 * DJ: Never tried this before, have you?
 * Heather: (in confessional, referring to Gwen) It's all her fault for messing with me. I've got a doctorate in revenge and humiliation.
 * Chris: Muy Caliente!

Chris: (to camera crew, worried) Is that the best we can do? Gwen: Gah! Duncan: (takes off sunglasses) Well, you don't see that every day. Chris: No you don't, my man. No, you don't. DJ: (removes Gwen's skirt from his face, sees the back of her underwear and looks back at skirt) Whoaaaa! (slips off and falls, screaming) Duncan: (the rope slides out of his hand, wraps and tightens around Duncan's foot, and sends him flying up) Whoa! DJ: (continues screaming as they both bump into each other; Duncan and DJ both grunt) Duncan: Ow... This bites. DJ: (groans) Big-time.

Trent: (in confessional, referring about Lindsay) Okay, she's no Steven Hawking, but hey, it's cooking. How bad could she screw it up? Chris: (real life) Today's dish will be fugu sashimi, the traditional Japanese poisonous blowfish. (a gong bangs, Lindsay claps, Trent looks worried) Chef: Fishies, meet your maker! (tosses the fish onto plates nearby Lindsay and Bridgette) Lindsay: Ah! Chris: (shows a diagram of the fish and its organs in a slideshow) They must be sliced very carefully to cut around the poisonous organs. The poison paralyzes the nerves, and there is no antidote. So, no worries! Trent: (to Lindsay, while she pokes fugu blowfish with a knife) You have taken biology, have you? (Lindsay nods, Trent sighs in relief) Chris: And begin! (Lindsay pokes fugu blowfish too hard, making it deflate like a balloon and out a window) Lindsay: I said I took Biology. (Trent is shown throwing up on himself) Chris: It's cool. Give him 24 hours, and he'll be up walking and breathing good as new. Geoff: Uh, is anyone going to help this guy?! (cuts to Chef about to give Trent mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, making Trent gag) (the apple hits DJ in the groin) DJ: (painfully groans) Oooh! Chris: (peeks through blindfold) Ahhh... Nuts!

Courtney: Hey moron, it's ov-(gets hit by apples after Sadie continues to try and shoot the arrow off; other forms of wildlife are getting pelted by crab apples as well) Chris: (shakes Sadie) Sadie!! It's over, man! Let it go! Sadie: Oopsie... (takes off her blindfold) Sorry! Courtney: (to Sadie) Ugh... You're going down... (groans and faints) Heather: And then...? Chris: Then hopefully, they'll catch you. Or that's gonna be one heck of a painful swim. (laughs) Courtney: (coming to after being knocked unconscious by Sadie) Huh...? Where am I...?

(sets off another explosion) Courtney: Come on already! Chris: Don't rush me! The audience eats up this kind of dramatic conclusion. (Courtney sighs) Chris: Harold. (Snaps the marshmallow out of his hand; it lands in Harold's hands.) Sadie: (angrily) You know what? That's fine with me, you... marshmallow-eating freaks! (runs away crying) (Courtney eats her marshmallow and waves Sadie good-bye with an sinister grin on her face) Chris: The rest of you are safe... for now. Katie: (seeing Sadie) Eeeeeeeeee! Oh, yay!

 * Trent: (while suffering from the poisonous fish) (strangled voice) I thought you said you passed Biology!
 * Lindsay: (after Trent collapses on the floor) Eww!!
 * Chef: (to Trent, whose moaning sickly) This won't hurt a bit. (takes out a huge needle) It'll hurt a whole lot.
 * Chris: The person who knocks off the crab apple without causing the least amount of facial damage wins! (shoots an apple with the slingshot while blindfolded)
 * Owen: (after Leshawna knocked the arrow off his head) Ow. (laughs)
 * Chris: And now, the Blind Trapeze. To avoid serious injury, the trapeze has been set up over this pond... which is full of jellyfish. (the camera focuses on the pond, which is indeed full of jellyfish; everyone gasps) You two will stand blindfolded on the platform until your partners tell you when to jump. (hands Bridgette and Heather blindfolds)
 * Gwen: (in confessional, after Heather falls into the jellyfish pool) Sometimes, the universe just gives you a freebie. (looks up at the sky and gives a thumbs up)

 * This episode marks the fifth loss for the Killer Bass, and the end of the Screaming Gophers' losing streak.
 * This is the second time that a real person is mentioned on the show, that person being the theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, since Trent says that Lindsay is "no Stephen Hawking." The first time a real person is mentioned is in Phobia Factor, where Céline Dion is mentioned throughout the episode as Duncan's fear.
 * This marks the second time that the Gophers win the challenge on a technicality.
 * This is the first time since Not So Happy Campers - Part 1 where all of the campers that appear have lines.
 * The challenges for this episode were all trust-related challenges such as:
 * Mountain Climbing
 * Preparing fugu sashimi and feeding it to a teammate
 * The Three Blind Challenges
 * Blind William Tell (one person throws crab apples and tries to hit the arrow on another person's head)
 * Blind Trapeze (over a pool of jellyfish)
 * Blind Toboggan Race (one person is blindfolded while another tells them where to steer and when)

 * Katie is the first person who was voted off to make an appearance in an episode following it, as she was at the boat when Sadie was eliminated.
 * This is the first episode since Phobia Factor that Sadie has had any lines, which is interesting because this is also the first episode since then that the Killer Bass have lost a challenge (and also the episode Sadie herself is eliminated).
 * This is the second consecutive challenge in which Trent is incapacitated. In the previous challenge, Owen tosses a crate of oranges at Trent's head, giving him a concussion that prevents him from doing anything in most of the episode.

Goofs

 * Heather appears to be sick in the beginning of the episode, but she seems fine throughout the rest of it.
 * Duncan is seen getting coffee from a coffee maker while in the mess hall, however; the coffee maker does not ever appear again in the series, even when the campers on-screen are where it would be.
 * When Heather is electrocuted by the jellyfish, her skeleton appears to have no jaw.
 * Courtney claims that her team is one player behind, when they are actually one player ahead.
 * Harold claims to be allergic to apples in this episode, although he is eager to accept apple juice in the next episode. However, Harold may have said this as a way to get out of the challenge.
 * Courtney, Heather, and Trent can all be seen in the medical tent. However, in Paintball Deer Hunter, Chris said that the tent was only equipped for one person at a time.
 * Heather blames Gwen for the freezer incident in the previous episode, but Leshawna, Beth, and Lindsay were responsible for the joke, not Gwen.
 * At the Killer Bass' elimination ceremony, Harold wasn't shown, but afterward he is shown receiving the final marshmallow.
 * This shot is seemingly altered in the DVD and iTunes releases, as Harold is at the campfire the entire ceremony.
 * Geoff's shirt wasn't blown by the wind during the blind toboggan race despite it always being open. It was stuck to his back the entire time.
 * During the fugu sashimi challenge, Chris explains that there is no antidote to the poison. However, when Trent is poisoned, Chef gives him a shot.
 * Also, Lindsay loses her fish in the challenge, when it flies out the window, but is still seen with a final product.
 * In the "Blind William Tell" challenge, Chris says that whoever knocks the arrow off with the least amount of "facial damage" to their teammate is the winner. However, the challenge is apparently instead won by whoever simply knocks the arrow off first.
 * Although Courtney is seen eating her marshmallow prior to Sadie's elimination, she is seen popping another one into her mouth afterwards.
