After one team wins, three contestants are in the hot seat on the other, but an Intern is eliminated instead.'''

Plot
The episode opens with Courtney and Gwen having a girl-talk about Duncan returning to the game. While Courtney gushes over her boyfriend, Gwen is very uncomfortable about the subject, mainly because of the kiss she shared with Duncan in the confessional in the previous episode and the fact that Courtney doesn't know about it. Back in economy class, Owen has a nightmare about Noah's recent departure, and is worried that he's going to be the next one to go. Tyler, not being very good with secrets, is also nervous about seeing Duncan kissing Gwen. Alejandro suspects that he is hiding something and tries to make him talk about it, but Duncan intimidates him into keeping quiet about it.

In the economy class area, Chris explains the next challenge to the contestants: competing in the Olympics' birthplace - Rome. However, Courtney, Alejandro, and Gwen all correct him by saying that the Olympics originated in Greece. After hearing this, Chris initially doubts it and refuses to admit that he is wrong. However with further persistence from the contestants, Chris calls two interns up to him, with one of them looking noticeably worried. Chris decides that the nervous one is guilty of giving him false information and throws him off the plane. He then turns to the other intern and sends him off to find out information about Greece, before heading to the cockpit to tell Chef to change course. Courtney questions Gwen as to why she was sharing a smile with Duncan, but she deflects suspicion by telling Courtney that she was staring at his mohawk and that Courtney needed to do something about it.

On the Acropolis, Chris explains that each competition will be one on one, due to Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot being down one competitor and Team Amazon being "all girls," clearly humiliating Cody. The first event is hunting for gold in a maze of pillars, guarded by an Erymanthian Boar (which is actually just the bear with boar teeth tied to it). Gwen and Duncan volunteer for the competition at the same time. This makes them feel awkward and they try to back out of it. However, Chris forces them to keep in the challenge. In addition, Duncan is forced to sing for the rest of this challenge in order to make up for his time off the show, under the penalty of Chef following and towel-whipping him in the butt whenever he does not sing.

While they compete, the rest of the competitors are taken to a wrestling ring. Courtney calls herself the strongest Amazon, but Cody claims he's stronger than her. Courtney dismisses the claim, making Sierra issue a challenge to take on Courtney. On Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot, Tyler mentions being on his grade-school wrestling team. Alejandro lets Tyler take his place in the ring, in exchange for a favor to be called in later.

Cody, Sierra, and Courtney wrestle against Owen and Tyler. Cody charges at Owen, but is quickly knocked out of the ring by Owen's large bulk, sending him flying towards the bear that Gwen and Duncan are against. Sierra leg-locks Owen for hurting Cody, while Courtney fights Tyler. Due to Tyler's refusal to hurt a girl, he is knocked out by Courtney. Cody announces his return and willingness to help his team, which Courtney dismisses by calling him a pipsqueak. This incites Sierra to attack her, and they eventually put each other in a choke hold. When neither refuses to let go, and when Courtney smacks Cody when he attempts to break up the fight, they tighten their grips on each other. Soon after, both pass out due to lack of oxygen. Owen comes along and claims victory over them both, winning him two gold medals.

Gwen and Duncan are still in the ruins, looking for the boar-bear. They bump into each other, awkward in each other's company. Chris then signals for a song, but only Duncan must sing through the whole song. Duncan and Gwen sing about the obvious problem looming, since Tyler had seen their kiss. Duncan tries to convince Gwen that he had no regrets about what he did, but Gwen retaliates by saying he would later regret it when Courtney finds out. Gwen also says that what they were doing had to stop, because it was all so insane. Alejandro listens in, figuring out the secret between them, while Courtney is too far away to hear the lyrics. In the end, Gwen is able to get the medal from the bear while it beats up Duncan.

The final competition is a hurdles race. Heather and Alejandro must compete since they are the only competitors who have not participated in a challenge. Both try to psych each other out by showing off their flexibility, but Alejandro proves that he is more flexible than her, disturbing some of the other contestants. However, after the race starts, Alejandro starts to get too cocky, running backwards just to show off even more. Eventually, when he looks behind him to mock Heather, and thus isn't looking where he is going, he knocks his head on the last hurdle, allowing Heather to pass him and win the race.

The tie-breaker competition is donning Icarus-like wings and using them to fly up to grab a medal dangling from a crane, dressed in "authentic Spartan costumes." Cody volunteers for Team Amazon, while Tyler volunteers for Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot. To avoid a close tie, Alejandro, chooses the time to call in his favor and forces Tyler to spill his secret about Gwen and Duncan's kiss. Outraged, Courtney turns violent on Gwen, appalled because she thought they were friends. She begins screaming her hatred at Gwen, kicking and punching, only to be restrained by Sierra. Cody is flabbergasted and hurt, hearing about what happened between Duncan and Gwen. Cody then reaches his boiling point after Duncan insults his costume, to which Cody angrily punches him in the face, knocking him out. Tyler gets a head-start, but only because Courtney tells Cody to stay put. Sierra gets confused at first since that would mean Team Amazon would lose, but after looking at Gwen she realizes that's what Courtney wants. Courtney points out that when Team Amazon loses, Gwen will be eliminated, something both Heather and Sierra agree on. However, Cody refuses to let Gwen get voted off, believing that Gwen would have to kiss him eventually, and chases after Tyler.

The wings start melting, since they are only held together by wax, and Tyler's wings fall apart before he can grab the medal. Cody grabs the medal with his teeth before his wings give out, falling to the ground and landing on Tyler. Team Amazon wins the tie-breaker, while Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot goes to the elimination ceremony again.

Back on the plane, Sierra praises Cody for knocking out Duncan, while Heather tries to console a crying Courtney. Gwen, not wanting to be around her team at the moment, first sits apart from them, then heads to the confessional. There, she admits that the kiss she shared with Duncan was great but then realizes that Duncan will most likely be eliminated from the game. She then runs to watch the elimination ceremony from the side, worried about Duncan's fate. Chris explains why Alejandro, Tyler, and Duncan can be voted off, but instead of eliminating one of them, an Intern gets eliminated. Chris then tells viewers to turn in for the next episode.

Quotes
Gwen: He looks great. I'm so happy... for you! Happy for you! Courtney: Don't get me wrong. He's not perfect. I made a little list of things that need to change. But once I change these forty-seven things about him, he will be perfect! Courtney: It's so nice to have a girl to talk to, especially now that Duncan's back. Gwen probably still has a crush on him. Who wouldn't? But she also likes her teeth, a lot! Tyler: I saw something... (Duncan wakes up) Duncan: Oh, wow. That was a deep sleep. A sleep of the dead. Haha! You know what I mean, Tyler? DEAD! Courtney: Greece! Sierra: Atlantis? Owen: Mt. Olympics? Chris: Wrong, fictional, and what?! We're going to Rome, Italy! Owen: (gasps) Pizza party! Alejandro: But Courtney was correct. The Olympics originated in Greece. Chris: Noo... they origina- Gwen: Greece! They're right. Chris: (looks through notes) Interns! (two interns show up) Everyone should probably hold on to something, everyone except you! (points to one of the interns) (camera changes to the outside of the plane, plane tilts, the intern Chris pointed at falls out of an open door, and the plane levels out) Chris: (gives script to other intern) You might wanna find some info on Greece, quickly! (intern runs off) Greece it is. (chuckles) Owen: (sigh) Alright, time to drop the laundry. (everyone gasps; Heather almost throws up) Chris: No, no, no! That was just a quirky fact, not an order! There's no need to be 100% accurate. Stay dressed. Very dressed. We only have to resort to nudity if there's a tie-breaker. (shoves script to intern) Today, we're gonna do things a bit differently, since Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot is down a man and Team Amazon is an all-girl team. (Cody sighs while Sierra scowls at Chris) In order to make things fair, all of today's challenges will be one-on-one matches. Every victory gets you a gold medal. The team with the most golds wins first class tickets to our next destination. Second place wins a brutal elimination ceremony. Owen: And silver medals. Right? Second place gets silver? Chris: There are no silver medals. Just gold. Owen: But at the Olympics- Chris: Just gold. That's it. Owen: (in confessional) As a kid, I always fantasized about being an Olympian. Standing proudly on that podium with my head held high, as I listen to the national anthem... (on the verge of tears) Of some other country, bringing home another silver for Canada. (wipes his eye) Chris: You should be. Exhibit A. (Chef whips Duncan's rear with the towel) Duncan: (in pain) OW! Chris: Shuck. Really should have sung that "ow," bro. (Chef whips Duncan again) Duncan: (high pitch, singing) OW! Chris: Much better. Owen: If we lose tonight, we're gonna vote whoever didn't win a medal, right? (Alejandro ties his hair into a ponytail with his feet while doing a split) Oh, yeah! Gwen: (in confessional) No man should be that flexible! Chris: The things you know frighten all of us. Really, they do. Chris: Duncan will join us as soon as he can, you know, if he's still alive. Gwen: If!? What does that mean? Alejandro: Those battle costumes are not authen- Sierra: (shushes Alejandro) No one cares. Owen: This is gonna be a close one. Alejandro: Yes, too close. Someone needs a distraction to slow them down. (to Tyler) Time to pay back that favor. Please tell Courtney what you know about Duncan and Gwen. Courtney: (gasps and starts glaring at Gwen) Chris: On your marks... Alejandro: Now! Tyler: I saw Duncan and Gwen kiss! Courtney: What?! Tyler: Oh, that's a load off! Duncan: You called? (laughs) Nice bikini! (Cody punches Duncan and Chef follows suit, lashing him with a towel) Courtney: Cody! Stay where you are. Sierra: But we'll lose! (looks at Gwen, realizing what Courtney means) Oh. Cody! Stay where you are! Courtney: (to Gwen, in quiet fury) You are so e-li-mi-na-ted! Heather: She's got my vote. Sierra: Agreed. Owen: Maybe it's seasonal? Gwen: (as Cody flies to get the medal) Come on, Cody... Courtney: (furious) You don't get to cheer! Chris: Amazons win! And the losers are heading back to the elimination room, for the second time in a row. Sierra: You knocked out Duncan! (squeals) O.M.G.! Your fans are gonna lose it! (squeals) Like this! (squeals, laughs) Courtney: (wailing) Gwen: (in confessional) The kiss was great, really great. But was it worth it? I'm certainly not gonna last much longer and Duncan's probably getting eliminated right now. (gasps and runs out of the confessional) Gwen: (gasps) Alejandro: (whispers to Tyler) Chris: ... this intern! ''(the intern screams as Chris pushes him off the plane) Duncan: (looks at the rest of his team victoriously)'' Ha-Ha-Ha! Tyler: (groans) Owen: (sighs) Gwen: Yes! Chris: That's right. I'm ignoring the vote. As if I'm going to send Duncan home when the fun's just getting started. Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot stays as it is, for now. Will Courtney and Gwen patch things up? Courtney: (to Gwen) I hate you! Chris: And who's going for the next drop? Find out right here on Total... Drama... (sings) World Tour!
 * Chris: (in recap) It's almost like someone broke the lock on the door on purpose, just so this could happen. But who's got two thumbs and would have done that? (grins as he points to himself with his thumbs)
 * Courtney: (sighs dreamily) He looks so good... doesn't he look good?
 * Gwen: (in confessional) Ugh, What am I doing? The moment I finally became "friendish" with Courtney, I kiss her boyfriend! I'm a horrible person. If it happens again, I'll tell her. Ohh, is it wrong that I really, really want it to happen again? Agh, horrible person!
 * Alejandro: Something wrong, Tyler? If you tell me, maybe I can help.
 * Chris: Prepare yourselves for challenges of an amateur caliber! (the contestants cheer) Cause we're recreating the original Olympics! (contestants groan in disappointment) And we're heading to the birthplace of the Olympics right now, in-
 * Chris: Welcome to the Athens! Home to many of the very first Olympians! Who, as my intern has informed me, competed naked!
 * Alejandro: (in the confessional) Now there's tension between Duncan and Gwen? Perhaps Tyler and Gwen are secretly dating and Duncan is... Nah... No no no. Patience...
 * Sierra: (in confessional) Did you see those sparks? Gwen's had a crush on Duncan from season one, and he's always had something for her too. There's a whole fan base dedicated to "Gwuncan." I wonder if this year, a new relationship fan base will start for "Sieody"! Ha! No! "Coderra"! Hahaha! Eee!
 * Duncan: (mocking) Ooo, a towel. I'm so scared.
 * Chris: Time to flip channels, just like the real Olympics.
 * Chris: In a world where Owen could win an Olympic gold medal, do the Amazons really stand a chance?
 * Chris: Gwen, although this is a duet, only Duncan has to sing.
 * Alejandro: (in confessional) Interesting song. Someone's been very naughty.
 * Heather: Sorry, but I'm fast and flexible.
 * Sierra: That should be Cody out there. In second grade, he competed in a hurdles event and won the coveted participation award.
 * Duncan: (sleeping, then the "boar" licks him) Huh? ARRRGH! (scrambles away) What the-? (runs into Chef who whips him with a towel) Ahhh, dude! (starts singing off key) Is it over? (Chef nods) So I should get back to my team? (Chef nods again) Know where the exit is? (Chef shakes his head) Perfect!
 * Courtney: Seriously, where is Duncan?
 * Sierra: (sees Cody in Icarus costume and gasps) He's like an angel.
 * Cody: (shocked that Gwen and Duncan kissed) Duncan? Duncan?!
 * Sierra: Fly, Cody, fly!
 * Cody: (in confessional) I'll do anything for Gwen. She has to kiss me eventually!
 * Alejandro: (a feather falls on his hand) Their wings are molting!
 * Tyler: I don't believe it! Not even a scratch! (Cody falls on him)
 * Cody: Wow! I had no idea how punching could hurt the fist, too.
 * Chris: Your choice is pretty clear, but today, the final choice is mine, and the Drop of Shame will be taken by...

Trivia

 * Running Gags: Chris shoving interns out of the plane; people calling Cody weak and Team Amazon an all-girls team, Sierra's annoyance; Chef whipping Duncan with a towel.
 * This is the first episode Duncan has sung in since Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1.
 * This is the first fourteenth episode of a season to have an elimination ceremony, albeit a fake one.
 * This is the first episode Chris forces someone to sing for the whole episode. In this case, it was Duncan.
 * In this episode, an intern was "eliminated." This makes him the second non-competitor to take the Drop of Shame, the first being the Meat Grinder. It is also the second false elimination of the series so far.
 * The intern who was thrown from the plane was the same one that appeared in Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water and Jamaica Me Sweat.

 * In this episode, Sierra reveals that Gwen has liked Duncan since season one, and that Duncan has always had some feelings for her as well.
 * This is the first time Chris chooses who gets to be voted off. This is also the first time that Chris deliberately ignores the official vote just to keep someone whom he favors in the game.
 * The tie-breaker challenge, with two contestants having to strap on pairs of wings that Chris states are glued together with wax, is a reference to the Greek myth of Icarus, particularly the part where the wings instantly fall off when Tyler gets too close to the sun.
 * Chris also mentions that the wings were made of wax and feathers found on the jet turbines. This is another joke on the plane's safety hazards since birds getting caught in plane engines often causes the engines to explode.
 * In the intro, Chris says "Oopah!," the Greek equivalent of "Cheers!"
 * This is the first time in the series that more than one member of a team attempts to throw a challenge. In this case, Heather, Courtney, and Sierra all intended to lose to vote off Gwen.
 * Duncan takes the most physical abuse in this episode; being hit with a towel by Chef repeatedly, getting attacked by the bear, and being punched by Cody.
 * Duncan is the second character to be successfully attacked by the bear, the first being Cody.
 * In this episode Sierra mentions the possibility of having a "Sieody" or "Coderra" blog, a reference to the shipping.

 * This is also the only time in the series that the non-contestant who was eliminated was an actual person.
 * Owen guessed that the Olympics started at Mt. Olympics. He was close, as the Olympics got their name for being played at the base of Mt. Olympus, the presumed home of the gods.
 * Cody punches Duncan when he finds out about the kiss he had with Gwen in London. This is the second time that Duncan was punched and knocked out by a contestant. The first was Harold in Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen when Duncan jokingly had insulted Leshawna, saying that "she's as delicate as a freight train."
 * The interns in the episode seem to have the same outfit design as Chris, but with different colors. One has a light blue shirt and the other has a red shirt.
 * Owen is the only member of Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot to win a medal.
 * It was revealed in an interview with Mark Thornton, Todd Kauffman, Keith Oliver, and Chad Hicks that this episode was originally going to take place in Italy with a differently-themed challenge. However, Greece and the Olympic-themed challenge ultimately won out.
 * This is why Chris makes a reference to Italy in the beginning of the episode.

Goofs

 * When the plane flies to Greece, the map shows it leaving North America, but the last location visited was London.
 * When Courtney is concerned because they won't watch Duncan and Gwen's scavenger hunt, Tyler's tracksuit symbol is on the wrong side.
 * When Tyler is hit by Courtney, the logo completely disappears.
 * When Owen hits Cody with his stomach, Cody appears to have a full row of teeth, when he usually has a gap in between his front two teeth.
 * When Duncan is sleeping on the plane, his undershirt is the same color as his main shirt.
 * When Duncan is in the confessional, talking about how Tyler saw him and Gwen kissing, the walls around the sink are much wider than when Tyler and Alejandro are in the confessional.
 * When Duncan is asleep, he is all beat up from being attacked by the bear, yet when he gets up, he looks fine. However, when he arrives at the competition site, before Cody knocks him out, he is back to looking beat up. He then looks normal for the remainder of the episode.
 * When Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot is in economy class, the safety harnesses are not present.
 * In Duncan's first confessional, he states that he knows Tyler saw him and Gwen kiss. However, during the actual kiss, neither of them acknowledged Tyler, thus implying that they never saw him.
 * Chris mentions towards the beginning of the episode that, if they had to do a tie-breaker, they would resort to nudity. However, the did end up doing the tie-breaker, yet no nudity was forced on the contestants.
 * When the first intern is thrown from the plane, the door he was thrown out of is much wider than it usually is. Also, after the plane rights itself, the sound of a door closing can be clearly heard, but the door itself remains wide open.
 * When the hurdle challenge is announced, the general view showed five hurdles, but Heather and Alejandro jump over six during the challenge.
 * When Gwen takes the gold medal off of the bear, it could have only been taken off if ripped. However, it remains fully intact for the rest of the episode. The same happens with Cody after he rips his medal on the hook, and is seen wearing it on the plane.
 * There are a few errors with Tyler's outfit during the tie-breaker challenge.
 * Before the wings are put on, both Cody and Tyler have gold braces, but after Tyler puts his on, his braces permanently change to silver.
 * Before the wings are put on, both pairs have one strap, but after Tyler puts his on, his has two running across his chest.
 * When Cody sees Tyler flying, the top strap constantly disappears and reappears as Tyler flaps his wings.
 * When Duncan sings for the first time, he has two eyebrows instead of an unibrow.
 * When Chris is explaining that every victory gets a gold medal and it shows the contestants, Sierra's ponytail is missing.
 * During the challenge when Duncan bumps into Gwen, his sleeves are shorter than usual but returns to normal when he turns to her.
