Plot


The episode opens up with some flash backs revealing that Courtney and Lindsay actually took the the cheese factory tour, though Courtney didn't seem to enjoy it. The camera then turns to the set, where Duncan kicks Harold's butt, literally, after he put a burrito in his back pocket. Justin intervenes in the fight, and uses the temporary peace to form an alliance with Harold and Duncan, based on the premise that the girls outnumber the guys. LeShawna and Beth are enjoying some cheese that Lindsay brought back from the factory, but fight about Courtney and Lindsay smelling bad. The two groups go to bed as they talk about what to do about the opposing group.

The next day, the contestants go down to the film lot (in their pajamas) and see Chef being held in the air by a bungee cord. Chef is wearing a pink dress and screaming for help. Chris jumps from a building dressed as Batman, and grabs Chef. The two then fall as the cords they were attached to break. Chris lands by Courtney's side and he asks when he'll tell her about the challenge, but Chris is too angry about the cord snapping to care. Chris then announces that he feels like telling everyone the challenge, so he does. Chris tells the final seven that the challenge will be about superhero movies, and that all of them must dress as superheroes, tights and all, for the challenge. They have each to make their own super hero costume, they being judged by originality. Everyone is upset to learn that they will have to be wearing spandex outfits, minus Lindsay, He also tells them that Chef will be playing the super villain and will try to sabotage their work. All the cast mates work on their outfits (except Duncan who is more concerned with Chef getting the drop on him).



The contestants all come out with their finished costumes and made up powers. Chris rejects Beth and Justin's outfits, but likes Harold's, saying that he 'kept it Canadian'. Chris is upset when Duncan is revealed to not have worn spandex, and gives him a 2/10 for poor superpowers. He has hope when Courtney's outfit as the Human Cricket gets an 8/10. LeShawna receives a 7/10 as 'Super Aqua Chick'. Lindsay is the last to come out and says her super hero is Wonder Woman, but is reminded by Courtney that Wonder Woman already exists. Chris however says he loved Wonder Woman as a kid and proclaims Lindsay the winner. Courtney argues that her outfit wasn't original, but Chris reminds her that he makes the rules. The second challenge is for each contestant to jump from a trampoline, up a building, save a "girl" (a potato sack with a dress) and go through a "meteor shower" (Chef throwing bowling balls). The one who takes the least amount of time wins. Lindsay gets 10 seconds cut off since she won the first challenge.



Lindsay is put up first, and does a bad job at it, by dropping the 'girl', and falling off of the wires. Harold surprises everyone by putting on a great display (even amazing LeShawna) and even manages to use his wit to use his "superpowers." Harold gets out with thirty six seconds. He is one of the few who actually made it to the end, the others being Courtney and Duncan. Even though Harold made it in thirty-six seconds, Courtney wins the challenge, and invincibility, with 30 seconds. The guys try to think on who to vote off, Justin saying they should vote off Courtney, Duncan is then seen worried but then reminds them that she has invincibility. Duncan then tells everyone to vote off LeShawna, to Harold's anguish. Duncan convinces Courtney to vote off LeShawna, and to tell Harold to do so too. LeShawna, Lindsay, and Beth are deliberating in the washrooms, and they choose Duncan, because it would hurt Courtney as well. LeShawna points out that only three of them wouldn't be enough, and Beth attempts to convince Harold to vote off Duncan. Courtney then appears and tells Harold to vote off LeShawna, and lies to him by saying the girls were trying to vote him off. At the Awards Ceremony, the first Gilded Chris goes to Courtney. Justin, Beth, Harold and Lindsay all followed receiving their Gilded Chris Awards. LeShawna and Duncan were the last two left, and the final award goes to Duncan. LeShawna is voted off, leaving Lindsay and Beth shocked. LeShawna thought that they had betrayed her into voting her off, but Harold later jumps onto LeShawna telling her he is sorry, saying that he joined Duncan, Courtney and Justin into voting her off, he wasn't sure if he could trust her, but he made a mistake. LeShawna tells him not to worry because she made a mistake earlier, and then forgives him. As LeShawna heads on over to the Lame-o-sine, Harold, Lindsay and Beth waved goodbye to her. LeShawna tells Harold to keep continuing on in the game and tells him to stand up for himself. After she leaves, Duncan tells Harold that he has something in his pocket, only to kick him in the butt when Duncan once again put the burrito in Harold's back pocket. When Harold said that things couldn't get things worse for him, Chris knocks him to the ground in order to close the show. After the close, Harold tells Chris that he broke his glasses.

Chris: (while getting a massage) The views of the contestants of Total Drama Action do not necessarily reflect the views of this network or parent company. They may, but not necessarily. Justin: About the girls? We need a plan. Duncan: Since when did you start thinking so much? Justin: A near-death experience can change a man, Duncan. Once you've lost everything, there's nothing left to lose. Except... Justin, Duncan, and Harold:...the million dollars Courtney: Uh...is anyone going to tell us what the heck is going on here? Chris: (still angry) When. I. Feel. Like. It. (several seconds later) And now, I feel like it. Chris: You serious? What do you talk about, the best brand of Fertilizer?

The girls are kicking our butts. Who are we gonna boot? Justin: The biggest threat, Courtney. Duncan: Dude, she's got invincibility. Which I say leaves... LeShawna. Harold: There is no way I'm voting off LeShawna. We're supposed to have an alliance with her. Duncan, we should vote you off for treason. Duncan: Pals before gals, Harold? We're outnumbered.

 * This episode marks the first time LeShawna was formally voted off.
