I Triple Dog Dare You!

Recap
Chris wakes up the remaining campers, Gwen, Heather and Owen with an All-You-Can-Eat pancake breakfast, made with genuine food byproducts served with fresh ingredients that are relatively close to their expiration dates; Chef is seen preparing the almost real food when one of the pancakes sticks to the ceiling, and he scrapes it off with a dirty shovel. Before the challenge, the campers make several video journals in the confessional, with Gwen and Heather generally bad mouthing each other, while Owen rants endlessly about pancakes, finishing it off by saying pancakes are worthless without friends to share them with.

Inside the mess hall, Heather and Gwen collect their pancakes, when Gwen notices that hers are coved in dirt. When Owen reaches Chef, he declares "ALL YOU CAN EAT"; Chef not only gives him a larger stack of pancakes, but is still angry over Owen eating his sticky buns, and dumps the entire tray of pancakes on him, burying Owen completely. Owen sticks his head out of the pile, declaring his satisfaction.

After breakfast, the campers meet Chris at the outdoor auditorium and are seated in a game show-like contestants row, with Chris as host, and Chef in a shear pink dress and matching pink chef's hat as his lovely assistant; Chris tells them that the producers have run out of ideas for challenges, so they asked the voted off campers for suggestions, and they had a lot. Chris moves back to show a giant bottle attached to a wheel with pictures of all the other campers, except Katie and Sadie who are together in one big picture on the bottom, for a high stakes game of "I Triple Dog Dare You". Each of the campers will get up and spin the bottle, the picture it points to determines the dare; the camper can do the dare themselves and win a "get out of dare freebie" in the form of a soda bottle, or they can pass the dare to someone else. If a camper chickens out of a dare, they are automatically eliminated from Total Drama Island.

In the confessional, Chris says that he and Chef has a side bet going, the first one who pukes pays the other $100.

Gwen gets up first, and her spin lands on Duncan. His dare is to lick Owen's armpits. Chris asks if Gwen will take it or pass, and she gives it to Heather. Heather nervously moves towards Owen's armpit, and he tries to calm her down by suggesting that she imagine that she's licking an ice cream cone... minus the B.O. This doesn't help much, nor does mentioning the pit hair while in mid-lick, which sends Heather into convulsions.

Heather gets her turn at the wheel, and spins Ezekiel, who dares them to chew their own toenail, slowly; she doesn't hesitate to challenge Gwen with the dare. Gwen sits in a small chair in the center of the stage, takes off her boot, and lifts up her foot so that Chef can clip a piece off; he then hands her the clipping, and she puts it in her mouth. While chewing, Heather reminds Gwen that she has to do it slowly, and Gwen's chewing changes to a slow, forced motion.

Owen spins the bottle and gets Beth, who dares him to rechew a piece of Harold's old gum; Owen emphatically accepts the dare, grossing out everyone else. Owen figures the gum must be pretty special if he was saving it, and starts chewing, describing the flavor as full bodied, a delicate fruity aroma with a hint of citrus, robust yet balanced, summery, and a crunchy center; the camera zooms in on Harold's picture, which shows him picking his nose. While Chris and Chef almost blow chunks, Owen blows a large bubble that bursts and covers himself with bubble residue. Chris awards Owen the game's first freebie, and an optional tetanus shot.

Gwen retakes the stage and spins Cody, whose dare is to stuff a tray of ice cubes in your underwear, and let them melt. Gwen doesn't think the dare is too bad and takes it herself. Chef brings out a bucket of ice cubes, and Gwen takes and stuffs large handfuls of the ice into her shorts.

Heather declares that she will take the next dare, whatever it is, as she won't let Gwen get ahead of her; she spins the bottle and gets Tyler. Tyler's dare is to eat grape jelly out of Owen's belly button. Chef pours 9 spoonfuls of jelly into Owen's navel, while Owen comments on how getting two dares like this must suck. Heather gathers her strength, and while it's not shown on camera, she slurps the grape jelly from Owen's stomach, returning to frame covered in grape jelly and a horrible look on her face. Chris puts her on life support for a few minutes while Chef hands out snacks: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches; hearing of which causes Heather to throw up in the oxygen mask.

Owen takes his next spin and gets Izzy, to which Owen is ecstatic. Izzy's dare is to give a purple nurple to a sleeping bear. Owen gladly takes the dare, but loses some enthusiasm when he asks "what's a purple nurple?" Owen goes to the nearby bear cave to perform the dare, which naturally wakes the bear up.

Gwen spins and gets Harold's dare: lick Owen's toe jam; she passes it to Heather who uses her freebie to skip it.

Heather spins and gets Geoff: drink powdered fruit punch from the communal toilet. Gwen considers whether she should use her freebie, but instead, holds her breath and goes for it. Chris mixes the fruit punch into the toilet with a plunger, comments on how gross it is, then hands Gwen a straw. Gwen pokes the straw into the water and takes a long slurp before getting sick and throwing up. While Owen goes up to get the next dare, Heather taunts Gwen, saying Trent will need a fumigation squad, when Gwen belches foul gas in her face.

Owen spins Cody, whose next dare is to eat dog food, another dare that Owen is glad to take himself. Chris questions why Owen would do it when he has two freebies he can use, or better yet, challenge an opponent, preferably one with no freebies. Owen says that his dog eats it, and he wants to know what he's been missing; he then takes the plate of dog food, which is still in a can shape, and voraciously eats it. When Owen describes is as "meaty tasting", it proves too much for Chris, and he throws up. After paying the $100 to Chef, Chef throws up, followed by Gwen, then Heather.

The game continues with dare after dare, including dressing up as a baby, kissing a dead fish, and wrestling an alligator; after 20 rounds, no one has dropped out, Owen as 20 freebies and Gwen still has her 1. Frustrated at how long this could continue, Gwen strikes a deal with Owen: help her take Heather down, and she'll give Owen half the prize money; and if she doesn't win the $100,000, she'll spring for a box of donuts. Owen agrees and shares his freebies with Gwen. Heather protests, but Chris says there are no rules.

Heather's torture starts when Gwen spins and lands Courtney, who dares them to drink a blended puree of Chef's mystery meat. This leads to a montage showing Heather swimming in leeches, wearing a chicken hat and pretending to be a chicken, slapping herself, eating a live cockroach, kissing one of Chef's socks in the guise of a sock puppet play of the Princess and the Frog, and getting a bucket of mud dumped on her head before being fired out of a cannon into a mud pile.

Heather thinks she's finally going to get a break when Gwen spins Lindsay, thinking the dumb blonde couldn't possibly come up with a bad dare; but Chris reads the card: have your head shaved by Chef. Heather is put in a barber's chair while Chef menaces her with an electric razor; Chris tells her exactly what's at stake, have her head shaved to stay in the game, or keep her hair and leave. As Chef approaches, Heather panics and kicks the razor out of his hands, it flies in the air, and lands on her head; the chair falls backwards as bits of hair fly away. When the chair returns upright, Heather is in shock, with only a few clumps of hair left; although she has been shaved, Chris tells her she's now out as she didn't accept the dare. When asked about the lack of rules by an enraged Heather, Chris says that its "complicated", but she still loses; her screams can be heard all the way from the loser's hotel. Heather is taken to the Boat of Losers and leaves the island, all the while threatening to sue Chris for everything he has.

Trivia/Goofs

 * Chef Hatchet is seen in this episode but has no lines.


 * Goof: When Chris hands out the soda bottles representing freebies, they have green bottle caps on them; but in the scene where Owen shares his freebies with Gwen, they are clearly uncapped, as Owen can blow into them. After Gwen spins the bottle for Courtney's dare, the caps are back on and stay on for the rest of the episode.


 * Chris, Owen, Gwen and Heather are seen in the confessional stall in this epsiode.


 * Goof: While Chris is doing his recap, he says that Owen has 20 freebies, while Gwen and Heather have none; but Gwen has 1 freebie. Also, only 13 of Owen's freebies are shown on screen, and some shots show only 9.


 * The contestants are able to perform dares voluntarily to gain "Get out of dare freebies", similar to the "Get out of jail free card" in the board game Monopoly. Also, when Chris says that whomever chickens out on a dare goes directly to the walk of shame, he parodies the "Go To Jail" card.


 * Heather is brought down by Lindsay's dare to have her head shaved. In "If You Can't Take the Heat", Heather threatened that she would cut off Lindsay's hair if she betrayed her again, and Heather betrayed Lindsay in "That's Off The Chain!"


 * Heather's Audition tape: Heather states that she's not camera shy and while others may have a problem with their body, she has no such worry. She promises high ratings before going into the shower.
