If You Can't Take The Heat...

'''The two teams compete in a cooking challenge. One person's attitude towards hygiene prompts three campers to teach him a lesson. Meanwhile, on the other team, two people's conflict reaches a boiling point when one takes the leadership role for the challenge. In the end, one contestant is voted off the island for cursing her team.'''

Plot
The episode opens with most of the campers still sleeping. Duncan wakes up and starts doing a few push-ups, but immediately stops after he smells something repulsive. He soon identifies the smell as Harold's dirty underwear, which is lying inches away from his face. He recoils in complete disgust and asks Harold to stop leaving his 'crusty' underwear around the boys' cabin. Harold denies the accusation, although DJ points out that his mom sewed his name on the label and that he is the only one who wears briefs. As Harold leaves to take a shower, Duncan, Geoff, and DJ decide to teach Harold a lesson.

Later, Chris tells the assembled campers that the challenge the teams will face will be cooking a three course meal, with each team having a head chef to serve to Chris for tasting and judging. Geoff takes note of the available ingredients and suggests an Italian themed meal for his team and is nominated to be the head chef. Heather nominates herself as chef for her team and in the confessional booth, Heather says she had to take the leadership role, as everybody else in the team is pretty useless.

The Killer Bass team splits up into three teams of two, although Courtney is reluctant to work with Duncan and she rants about his bad traits in the confessional booth. Back in the guy's cabin, Geoff secretly picks up one of Harold's used briefs with a stick before going back to the kitchen and signaling DJ, who deliberately spills a bucket of water on Harold; this causes him to insult DJ. Afterwards, Geoff says to Harold that there is some clothes at the cabin. He heads back to the cabin to change while the Gophers struggle to get their meal made with Leshawna and Heather clashing over what to make. Back in the guy's cabin, Harold digs out a skimpy pair of thong underwear to change into.

Elsewhere, Owen is bringing a crate of oranges back to the kitchen when he bumps into Heather making him wobble. He slips and all of his oranges get crushed all over the floor. Heather tells Owen to go back to the truck and bring more oranges, which he reluctantly does. While Owen is getting the oranges, he accidentally attracts hornets in a nearby hive above him, which viciously attack him. Back in the Killer Bass kitchen, Geoff tries to make small talk with Bridgette but fails miserably by comparing her to his friend's mother. DJ quickly pulls him away and Bridgette gives a disapproving head shake. In the Gophers kitchen, Owen, covered in red welts from the hornets, enters and tosses the crate of oranges in Trent's direction with the crate hitting Trent in the head and knocking him to the floor. In the confessional, Heather says everything is going perfectly, despite Owen getting stung by the hornets and Trent being unable to continue due to a concussion, but her facial expressions show it is evident that things are only getting worse.

Back in the Bass kitchen, Duncan and Courtney squabble, but are interrupted by Harold entering, wearing his thong underwear with nothing over them, and wanting to know who took all of his shorts. Chris pops in and sees Harold in his thong underwear and shudders. He reminds them they have three hours left. Leshawna and Heather soon start fighting again. Elsewhere, Harold is told by the guys to go back to the cabin for a pair of underwear and shorts, but he is unaware of the fact that the guys have soaked his underwear with hot sauce. When he puts them on, he yells "My biscuits are burning!" and plunges into the lake shortly afterwards, which although relieves him of the burning sensation, wets his shorts and renders them useless.

Shortly after, Heather, in a confessional, describes talking to Lindsay as something similar to talking to an eggplant. In the kitchen, Heather shows Lindsay and Gwen how to make a flambé desert, but she badly burns it due to the two girls pouring too much gasoline on the dessert and Heather's eyebrows are burned away. Heather and Leshawna argue some more and Leshawna, in a confessional, states that someone has to teach Heather a little respect.

On the Killer Bass's side, Harold enters the kitchen wearing pajamas, but still refuses to acknowledge leaving his underwear around the cabin. Harold takes a bite out of a sandwich that Geoff offers him and Harold discovers his underwear in the sandwich. Geoff says they'll return his clothes when Harold admits to what he's been doing.

Outside, Owen, sent by Heather to get her make-up bag, steps on a rake while trying to avoid the hornets, falls down, and gets stung repeatedly by the hornets. A few minutes later, Owen, swollen and bloated from the stings, tosses the bag in Heather's direction but Leshawna intercepts it. She tosses it to Beth, who tosses it to Lindsay. Leshawna says "In the fridge!" to Lindsay, while Heather places her hand for Lindsay to hand her the bag. She doesn't obey Heather and tosses the bag in the walk-in freezer, and when Heather runs in after it, Leshawna closes the door behind her and locks her inside.

In the Bass kitchen, Courtney and Duncan continue to argue and even throw food at each other. In a confessional, Duncan says Courtney drives him crazy and he digs that in a woman. In her own confessional, Courtney dismisses the idea that she and Duncan are attracted to each other. A short time later, Chris prepares to judge the meals with Beth setting the idol she took from Boney Island on the table during preparations as decoration. Owen is told by his Gopher team mates to guard the food before it is served even as Heather continues to shiver in the freezer, trying to use makeup to draw thick eyebrows. Owen's hunger overwhelms his thinking and he winds up devouring most of the rib platter.

Elsewhere, Chris gives the meal prepared by the Bass a score of fifteen. However, the Gophers' meal elicits a score of two points for the tiny scrap of ribs Chris is left to eat thanks to Owen. This leaves the score fifteen to eleven for the Bass. The Bass dessert earns six points and the Gophers dessert nearly results in Chris choking to death. A moment or so later, Lindsay remembers they left Heather locked in the freezer and runs off to let her out. Heather enters, blue from head to toe, and Chris announces the Bass team win the challenge twenty one to twelve. Heather notices the idol on the table and Chris points out that Beth shouldn't have taken it from Boney Island. Chris goes on to say the Bass win a five star dinner under the stars as their reward.

The Gophers mull over who they will vote off that night with Heather telling Lindsay that all is forgiven as long as she votes for whomever Heather tells her to, threatening to cut off all her hair if she ever steps out of line again. In confessionals, Heather says choosing someone to vote for is difficult with so many losers to choose from, Lindsay laughs over locking Heather in the freezer and Heather and Owen are shown voting for Beth. Owen belches Beth's name.

At the campfire ceremony, it comes down to Beth and Heather for the final marshmallow with Beth being sent to the Boat of Losers. After the ceremony, Duncan, Geoff, and DJ drag Harold's bed to the dock while Harold is sleeping.

The next day, Harold wakes up stark naked and at the dock in presence of all the girls who are swimming in the lake giggling at him. Harold shrieks with embarrassment and covers himself with a pillow. He says he'll never leave his underwear around again like before and begs for his clothes back. With that, his clothes are returned to him and he runs away to the cabin to get dressed.

Cast

 * Gwen, Trent, and Sadie do not speak but appear in this episode (although Gwen is heard laughing in two scenes, as well as Sadie being heard cheering when the Killer Bass where declared winners).

Trivia

 * Title Reference: This episode title parodies the phrase, If You Can't Stand the Heat, Get Out of the Kitchen.
 * Heather receives the final marshmallow for the second time consecutively and the third time overall.
 * This marks the third consecutive loss for the Screaming Gophers, thus making it the first time ever where a team has lost more than two challenges in a row.
 * When the food van drives up from under the lake, the driver is a dolphin.
 * Starting with Justin, and ending with Beth, there is a male-female pattern with the previously voted off campers:
 * Justin (Male), Katie (Female), Tyler (Male), Izzy (Female), Cody (Male), Beth (Female).
 * This episode marks the only time Beth is voted off, as she becomes the runner up of Total Drama Action (or the winner in some countries) and she doesn't compete in Total Drama World Tour.
 * This is the last episode where Heather is seen with her hair tied back in a ponytail, in Total Drama Island.
 * When the Screaming Gophers were deciding who to vote off, Leshawna says she wanted the tiki idol's curse to hit Heather and if possible hit her upside the head. Mysteriously, this wish came true, since Heather had her head shaved in I Triple Dog Dare You!.
 * Heather tells Lindsay that she might lose her hair, but this happens to Heather much later in I Triple Dog Dare You!.
 * Coincidentally, the incident is caused indirectly by Lindsay.
 * Owen's mad eating craze is a parody of a horror movie, as it was done similar to a murderer hacking up a victim with the barbecue sauce taking the place of blood.
 * Trent's concussion is also done similar to a horror movie; if one looks closely, there is spilled gravy underneath him, creating the illusion that his head is bleeding all over the floor.
 * This episode is a parody of the show Iron Chef.
 * Six characters had notable injuries/mishaps in this episode:
 * Trent - Sustains a concussion after Owen tosses a crate of oranges at his head.
 * Owen - Gets stung by hornets on two separate occasions.
 * Heather - Loses her eyebrows after blowing up the flambé; her skin later turns blue after being in the freezer for a long period of time (which rendered her with a cold in the next episode); when she was in the freezer she drew her eyebrows very badly.
 * Leshawna - Gets an allergic rash after she slices pineapples (after informing Heather about this, who did not care), and not allowed to take a bathroom break to tend to her rash.
 * Harold - Gets his clothes soaked after a pot of water spills over him, endures a great deal of pain after putting on a pair of underwear covered in hot sauce (making him jump into the lake and become drenched again), and unknowingly eats his own underwear in a sandwich courtesy of DJ, Geoff, and Duncan (who did all of this to Harold on purpose).
 * Chris McLean - Almost chokes to death after eating a piece of the burned flambé.

Goofs

 * The beehive that appeared on the cabin was yellow when Owen came to get Heather's makeup bag. When Owen knocked over the bottles, the beehive was white, and after Owen stepped on the rake and screamed, the beehive that fell on him turned back to yellow. Also, when Owen is getting oranges, the box is knocked over, but in the next scene, the box is upright again.
 * Also, when Owen first disturbed the hive, it was hanging from a tree branch. However, when he accidentally disturbed it a second time, it was hanging on the side of the cabin.
 * When Owen went to get Heather's makeup bag, his hornet stings disappeared.
 * Also, when Leshawna asked him to guard the food, he returned to normal form, after being stung twice.
 * In the morning, Duncan is wearing his boxers, but when Geoff first talks, he is seen with his normal shorts.
 * When Heather shows up outside the fridge after Lindsay frees her, Trent can be seen in the group of people Heather is yelling at with no ice pack or noticeable injury whatsoever. He was supposed to be sent to the medical tent due to a concussion. However, during the campfire ceremony, he is seen with an ice pack.
 * Also, during the campfire ceremony, Trent is holding an ice pack to his head, but after his name is called and he goes up to get a marshmallow, he returns to his seat with no ice pack.
 * When Heather appears before the Gophers after being freed from the fridge, Gwen is next to Leshawna. However, when Heather starts yelling at them after they are declared the losers, Trent is in Gwen's place.
 * The food that Owen carries out of the van is ribs, but when they go into the kitchen, he is carrying oranges while Trent carries the ribs.
 * After Harold eats Geoff's "underwear sandwich," Bridgette's laughter is heard, though she is nowhere to be seen.
 * When Trent is hit by the crate of oranges, the top of his hair is flattened on the side as if it were being hit also, yet nothing is touching it.
 * When exiting the truck, Sadie is seen holding a bag of flour, Duncan is holding a ham, DJ is holding a box with various canned goods and baguettes, and Geoff is holding boxes of tomatoes and baguettes. However, when they arrive in the kitchen, DJ is holding Geoff's box, Sadie is holding DJ's box, Duncan isn't carrying anything, and Geoff is holding a single can; which makes it unknown what happened to Sadie's bag of flour. Bridgette is the only camper who carries the same thing off the truck and into the kitchen.
 * When Heather blows up the flambé cake, she looks at her incinerated eyebrows in a frying pan covered in grease, however, in the next shot the grease is gone.
 * When the pasta dish is placed in front of Chris, Courtney is shown to be holding the dish. However, only DJ and Bridgette were present at the tables.
 * When the Killer Bass are watching Heather and Leshawna argue about Leshawna's pineapple allergy, Harold is wearing his normal pants. However, he was wearing a red banana hammock at the time.
 * The bottle that Trent takes off the truck is said to contain molasses, but Lindsay is supposed to use it to ignite the flambé. Molasses contains no alcohol, and thus, would not ignite a flambé.
 * When Owen finished eating the ribs, he had barbecue sauce all over his body and his hair is messed up, but when Leshawna told him out, he only had barbecue sauce on his shirt and his hair was fixed.
 * When Geoff throws Harold back his clothes, his line of "Pleasure doing business with ya!" was in Duncan's voice.
 * Before Duncan does his push-ups, his shorts are blue, but while he's doing the push-ups, they go back to white.
 * When Leshawna is suggesting another recipe rather than pineapples with mango dip, she suggests pineapple chutney happily. When Heather tries make Beth switch her job of slicing the pineapple with Leshawna's job, Leshawna says she can't do it because of pineapple allergies despite her willingness to make a different dish with pineapples in it.
 * When the Screaming Gophers are retrieving their ingredients from the truck, Heather is reading the list of what they need. In the order she said it, the campers already retrieved the ingredients by the time, or before, she dictated them.
 * When Heather was talking to Lindsay, her regular eyebrows were seen. However, in the confessional immediately afterwards, her fake eyebrows were seen.
 * When the Killer Bass are cheering because of their win, Sadie's voice is heard even though her mouth didn't move.
