Not So Happy Campers - Part 2

'''The two teams face their first challenge: jumping off a thousand foot cliff into shark-infested waters and building a hot tub out of materials they find in crates at the base of the cliff. The first camper is voted off the island.'''

Recap
All of the campers are assembled at the top of the cliff, where Chris reveals the campers first two challenges. They must jump off of a one thousand foot high cliff into the lake. For every camper that completes the challenge, their team shall receive a crate of supplies for the second part of their challenge: to build a hot tub. The team with the best hot tub gets to have a hot tub party that night, while the losing team must vote a camper off. Bridgette thinks the challenge is fairly straightforward, but Chris reveals that their target is actually a smaller area inside the lake, as the rest of it is stocked with man-eating sharks.

The Killer Bass are up first, and Bridgette volunteers to go. She successfully completes the jump. Excited by her victory, Tyler jumps next, although he crashes onto one of the buoys in the lake. Geoff, Eva, and Duncan then successfully complete their jumps. DJ, however, is afraid of heights and chickens out. Chris places a chicken hat on DJ and taunts him. Ezekiel and Harold complete their jumps (Ezekiel ends up hitting a jutting rock while Harold lands on his crotch), but Courtney refuses to jump, saying that she has a medical condition that prevents her from jumping off cliffs. Chris warns her that not completing the challenge might cost her team the win, and there would be a good chance that she would be eliminated as a result. However, Courtney accepts the risk, as she doesn't think many members on the other team will jump. Only Sadie and Izzy are left, but Sadie will not jump without Katie, as the two girls are best friends and have never done anything apart from each other. Both of them beg Chris to allow one of them to switch teams. Izzy then offers to swap, and Chris allows it, placing Katie on the Killer Bass and Izzy on the Screaming Gophers. Katie and Sadie successfully jump off the cliff together.

The Screaming Gophers are up next, and Chris offers them an incentive. If they can beat the Killer Bass's score, he'll give them pull-carts to carry their crates. Heather responds that she is not going to jump, as she'll get her hair wet on national TV. LeShawna then argues with her about not jumping, and the argument escalates until Leshawna throws Heather from the cliff to make her jump (Ironically, if Leshawna hadn't thrown Heather down the cliff, their team would have been on the same grounds as the Killer Bass, thus meaning they could have lost. Its ironic because, if they had lost, Heather could have been voted off, preventing her dasterly deeds in later episodes). LeShawna jumps after her, followed by Lindsay, Gwen, Cody, Izzy, and Justin. Justin lands outside of the safe area, to the worry of the other campers, but his looks charm the sharks and they carry him to shore. Beth chickens out of jumping, while Trent and Noah jump. That leaves only Owen, who is not a strong swimmer. The Gophers are nervous, but Owen manages to jump off the cliff and earn the first win for his team.

The Gophers, with their pull-carts, happily sing as they walk back to camp, while the Bass are having trouble with their creates. Katie and Sadie add to the problem, due to having to take a bathroom break. Then, both of the girls ended up with a rash because they squatted over poison ivy. Although Geoff and Courtney attempt to rally their team to win the challenge, the Gophers build a better hot tub and win the challenge. The Bass, meanwhile, assemble a badly-constructed hot tub that eventually collapses in on itself, costing the Bass the first challenge.

At dinner, the Bass decide who to vote out. Duncan says that it should be Courtney or DJ, as they didn't jump off the cliff, and that's DJ's strength would be better to keep around. Courtney attempts to save herself, claiming that she was a C.I.T. (Counselor In Training) and tries to shift attention towards Tyler for no apparent reason. Duncan and Geoff, however, aren't interested, as Tyler actually jumped as well. Ezekiel wonders why their team lost, as the Gophers had more girls on their team. Ezekiel then claims that guys are stronger and better at sports than girls, which especially angers Eva and Bridgette (both being athletic girls). Geoff attempts to calm down the angry campers, but Ezekiel continues his misogynistic speak which angers every female teammate on the Killer Bass.

At the campfire ceremony, Chris has a plate of marshmallows and states that one camper will not receive one. That camper is eliminated and must leave. Chris then gives marshmallows to Geoff, Tyler, Katie, Bridgette, DJ, Harold, Sadie, Duncan, and Eva. The final two comes down to Courtney and Ezekiel. They both start to panic, as dramatic music plays for a while. Chris gives the marshmallow to Courtney, leaving Ezekiel as the first camper voted out.

Back at camp, the Gophers are enjoying their hot tub party as the Bass walk by. Courtney then declares to the camera that they might enjoy their party tonight, but she will win the competition and no one is going to stop her.

Challenge

 * Challenge 1: Campers were to jump off a one-thousand foot high cliff into Lake Wawanakwa. Each camper that jumps off the cliff and survived earned one point for their team.  The winning team receives a small bonus to help them for the second challenge.
 * The Screaming Gophers win over The Killer Bass, ten to nine.
 * Challenge 2: Campers were to use equipment to build a hot tub. The team with better standards wins the hot tub and free access to it.
 * The Screaming Gophers' hot tub was better equipped as The Killer Bass' hot tub collapsed.

Cast
Justin was seen in this episode, but has no lines.

Quotes

 * Owen: (about the challenge) Don't sweat it, guys. I heard that these shows always make the interns do the stunt first to make sure it's survivable. (Cuts to a flashback with Chris and Chef on top of the cliff) Chris: We need to test the stunts first. You know that. Chef: Do I look like an intern to you? Chris: No, but the ones we had are all in the hospital. C'mon, just jump it, you big chicken. (makes chicken noises) Chef : (while putting goggles on) I don't get paid enough for this, man. (jumps)


 * DJ: Uh-uh. No way, man. I'm not jumping. Chris: Scared of heights? DJ: Yeah. Ever since I was a kid. Chris: That's okay, big guy. Unfortunately, that also makes you a chicken. So, you'll have to wear this... (puts chicken hat on DJ) ...for the rest of the day. DJ: Aww, man. For real?! Chris: Bawk bawk bawk! That means, the chicken path down is that-a-way. (points to an escalator) Next! Ezekiel: (jumps) Yee-haw! (a big rock sticks out of the side of the cliff and Ezekiel hits it and tumbles round and round, but still lands in the safe zone. All the Killer Bass cheer, Ezekiel comes up with a thumbs-up) Harold: Yes! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! (Harold is falling in a perfect split and lands in the safe zone, but on his crotch; all of the guys are shocked; even the sharks are shocked) AAAHAAAAHAAAAHAAAAHAAAAH!!! (covers his groin) AAAAAAH! (sinks down into the water) Chris: Ooooh. Hate to see that happen. Courtney: Excuse me, Chris. I have a medical condition. Chris: What condition? Courtney: A condition that prevents me from jumping off cliffs. Chris: You can chicken out of you want, but it might end up costing your team the win. And then they'll hate you. Courtney: It's a calculated risk. I've seen the other team, and I don't think nine of them will jump. (cuts to the Screaming Gophers, looking strange) Chris: All right...(puts chicken hat on Courtney, Courtney stares at it surprisingly)...here is your chicken hat. Let's tally up the results. That's eight jumpers and two chickens. We're missing one. Sadie: I'm not jumping without Katie! Katie: We have to be on the same team, Chris. Sadie and Katie: Please? Please? Can we? Can we, Chris? Can we? Can we? Izzy: I'll switch places with her. Chris: Alright, fine, you're both on the Killer Bass now. Izzy, you're on the Screaming Gophers. Katie and Sadie: Yes! Chris: That means you're up, girls. Katie and Sadie: We're coming, Killer Bass! (both jump) Aaaah! (both land in the safe zone) Chris: Alright, that's nine jumpers and two chickens.


 * Leshawna: (after Heather refuses to jump) Oh you're doing it! Heather: Says who?! Leshawna: Says me! I'm not losing this challenge cause you got your hair did, you spoiled little daddy's girl! Heather: Back off, ghetto-glamour, too-tight-pants-wearing, rap-star wannabe! Leshawna: Mall-shopping, ponytail-wearing, teen girl-reading, peeking in high school prom queen! Heather: Well, at least I'm popular. (Gwen looks surprised, then it goes to Justin who has a sparkle on his teeth) Leshawna: You're jumping. Heather: Make me. (Leshawna grabs Heather and throws her down) Heather: AAAAAAAAAH! (lands in the safe zone) Leshawna, you are so dead! Leshawna: Hey! I threw you into the safe zone, didn't I? (to herself) Now I just hope I can hit it, too. (jumps) AAAAAAAAAH! (lands in the safe zone, right next to Heather)


 * (Lindsay is standing over the cliff dive) Lindsay: I thought this was going to be a talent contest! Chris: Ha ha ha ha, yeah, ha ha... (turns serious) No. (Lindsay is pushed down) Lindsay: AHHHHHHHHH! (Gwen follows looking terrified) Gwen: YAHHHHHHHHH! (Cody is next, flailing like a beached flounder) Cody: WAHHHHHHHHH! (Izzy follows, laughing crazily like a witch, and falling like a sky-diver, obviously enjoying herself) Izzy: WAAA HA HA HA HA HA, YEAH! HA HA!


 * Chris: All right, campers. There's only one jumper left. You need this jump for the win. No pressure, dude. (Owen has a smile on his face) Okay, there's pressure. (turns it into a frown) (The Screaming Gophers are cheering for him to jump) Heather: Ju--, jum--, just do it, Owen! Do it! Owen: (puts floaties on his arms) Oh, I was pretty darn nervous. (in the confession stall) See, the thing is, I'm not that strong a swimmer. Geoff: (in the confession stall about Owen) I'm looking at this guy and thinking, "There's no way he's gonna make it." Gwen: (in the confessional stall about Owen) I actually thought, "If he jumps this...he's gonna die." Chris: Give it your best jump, buddy. You can do it. Owen: I'm going to die now. I'm going to freaking die now! Leshawna: Come on, big guy. Owen: (closes his eyes tightly, then opens, takes a running start) YAAAAAAAHHHH!!! (jumps off the cliff) Oh, CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! (he lands, making an enormous splash, he scatters the people everywhere) Owen: Yeah! Yeah! Who's the man? Beth: Whoo-hoo! (Lindsay sits up, smiling) Leshawna: Yes! Chris: The winners; The Screaming Gophers! Trent: That was awesome, dude! (Owen has a frown on his face) What's wrong? Owen: I think I lost my bathing suit. (all the campers murmur in disgust) 


 * Heather: Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer. Lindsay: Oh... I'm your friend, right? Heather: Oh, yeah. For now.
 * Chris:(After seeing Courtney's eye) Oh my boxers that's bad!
 * Lindsay: We won, we all get to stay here for another three days! Beth, Lindsay & Heather: (Cheering) Owen: (appears naked) Whoooooooooooooooooo! Ha ha ha! Yes! (starts singing) We get to stay-ay, we get to stay-ay, we are so awesome, we won the contest!


 * (Trying to decide who to vote off) Courtney: What about him? (points to Tyler) Lindsay: (stands up) NOOOOOOOOO..! (everyone looks at Lindsay) Lindsay: No... salt. There's no salt on the table... bummer.


 * Gwen: (In Confession Cam) Yeah, this camp pretty much still sucks. But now that I'm here, I guess I might as well try to win.


 * Leshawna: (cheering) Go Gophers! Go Gophers! (Owen and Noah join her) Leshawna, Owen, and Noah: Go Gophers! Go Gophers!


 * Courtney: (to the camera) Are you recording this? Good. They can enjoy their little party all they want, but I'm going to win this competition and no one is going to stop me.


 * Justin and Noah appear, but have no main lines (though Justin can faintly be heard while singing with the team as they move the crates and Noah does sing a victory cheer with Owen & Leshawna).

Trivia

 * Unedited, the full rating is TV-PG-D.


 * All dialog edits for this episode can be found on the Edits page.


 * Courtney received the final marshmallow in this episode.


 * The campers in the confessional for this episode were Owen, Geoff, and Gwen.


 * This episode contains the longest pause before the elimination announcement in the show. This makes sense, as the contestants were in the midst of the show's first-ever elimination.


 * Justin is the only one who landed outside the safe zone for those who took the thousand-foot jump off a cliff dare.


 * Izzy's swimsuit actually looks very similar to her usual outfit (except for the cap and the slightly different top). This might mean that she wears her swimsuit (or part of it) at all times (which may mean that her skirt is actually some sort of towel, and explains why she always wears tiny sandals).


 * Duncan, Geoff, DJ, and Ezekiel wear bathing suits that look just like their regular pants. This may mean that they just wear their usual pants.


 * Though Justin only talks in the first episode, he can be seen singing with the other campers while they are pulling the wagon with their supplies (though his voice can only be heard faintly), even when he is at the hot tub party.


 * Running Joke: Courtney telling everyone that she was a C.I.T.


 * Only three campers chicken out during the challenge: DJ, Courtney, and Beth.


 * It seems unlikely that there are sharks in the lake as everyone knows that they live in oceans (unless they were bull sharks, which can live in both fresh and salt water), but throughout the series, sharks have been shown in the lake various times.


 * Before jumping Lindsay says she thought the show was supposed to be a talent contest. This mirrors what her Camp TV persona said during the promo.


 * The swimsuit that Beth wears is similar to the uniforms worn on Star Trek.


 * Beth chickened out of the challenge and had to wear the chicken hat, though in a scene right before the Gophers are about to complete the hot tub, she is missing it. This may be because her team won, and she didn't have to wear it as part of the reward.


 * The campers are all somehow able to instantly change out of their swimsuits and get the crates without having to go to a private area or slow down in the race to build a hot tub.


 * After Ezekiel made the comments about girls, Noah and Cody were at the Killer Bass table. However, they are on the Screaming Gophers.


 * The sharks seem to fall in love with Justin, but when Harold lands on his crotch, they cringe in pain, implying that they are male. Their love for Justin may be similar to Owen's love of Justin.
 * In Total Drama Action, a challenge similar to the cliff jumping challenge is used in 3:10 to Crazytown, but with the contestants jumping onto a horse.

Goofs

 * When Chris says that the Bass are missing one camper, they are actually missing two: Sadie and Izzy, who was originally a Killer Bass before switching with Katie.
 * Even though Chris called Eva's name at the bonfire, that part was deleted on TV.
 * Noah was never seen jumping the cliff, but it is shown that he did jump as he is seen in the water with Trent later.
 * After Owen jumps, Duncan has two wristbands on.
 * During the diving challenge, when campers are in the confessional they are in their swimsuits. However, when Owen is about to dive, Geoff appears in his usual outfit instead of his swimsuit (although the only difference between his swimsuit and his normal outfit is just the pink shirt).
 * Beth and Izzy were not shown at the hot tub party at the end of this episode.
 * Leshawna asks the Bass "Aren't you missing a couple of white girls?" when Sadie and Katie are off sitting in water, although Katie is not white. This is possibly just because Katie might have a tan, and is originally white, or Leshawna splitting up black and white into two different groups and 'tan' fits into the 'white' category.
 * After Owen jumps, we see Trent washed up on the beach behind the overturned boat but when he asks Owen what's wrong, Trent is on the boat, which is still in the water.
 * When Chris tallies the jumpers for the Killer Bass after Courtney refuses to jump, he counts eight jumpers and two chickens. At that point, only seven had jumped (Bridgette, Tyler, Geoff, Eva, Duncan, Ezekiel and Harold), two chickened out (DJ and Courtney), and two were left (Sadie and Izzy).
 * After Owen jumps, it shows all the campers on the beach and Beth and DJ are seen with chicken hats, but Courtney does not have hers on, though she is seen wearing it later.
 * Eva is never seen receiving a marshmallow at the campfire, but she isn't eliminated
 * During the moments leading up to Ezekiel's elimination, Courtney drops her stick. Yet, when her name is called for the final marshmallow, she runs to the plate to claim it, and still has the stick in her hand.
