Niagara Brawls

'''The remaining seven are dumped in Niagara Falls for their next challenge, where it is revealed that one person is debuting into the show, and that the teams have merged. The challenges have a wedding theme, leading to added tension for three particular couples. One person tries their hardest to convince others to vote off a threat, ultimately leading to them taking the Drop of Shame.'''

Recap
Ezekiel is briefly seen taking cheese from a rat, then hides after noticing the sleeping contestants being dragged to the cargo hold area by the interns. The scene then cuts to a sleeping Owen having a pleasant dream, in which he is naked, and floating with balloons in the clouds, which turns into a nightmare when Alejandro starts popping the balloons with candy canes. When Owen falls in his dream after the balloons are all popped, he wakes up and notices that he and other contestants have been dropped out of the plane. Owen wakes up the others and they notice, while dropping, two swan paddle-boats are also falling with them. They all get in the boats and land in the water, but soon realize they are heading towards a massive waterfall. While praying to live, Cody says if they survive the ordeal, he will let Sierra kiss him, believing they are all going to die anyway. Sierra hears this and ties the boats together and paddles the boats to shore, saving their lives. Sierra then kisses Cody as her reward, prompting a horrified Cody to brush his teeth rapidly and throw up in the confessional.

On shore, Chris comes in and tells them they are back in Canada, and more specifically, Niagara Falls. They then head to Niagara Falls casino, but have to be in the concert theater because most of them are all under age. Chris then tells them that a contestant will be back on the show, and both Duncan and Cody want it to be Gwen. However, they are shown in the musical number that it's Blaineley, who most of the contestants don't really care about. When Blaineley asks which team she is on, Chris announces that the teams are disbanded. The guys agree to be close, even though they aren't teammates anymore. Chris then announces that since they are in the honeymoon capital of the world, they will be in pairs for an "arranged marriage". The boys will be placed in a giant casino machine, and the girls will pull the lever to see who will be their partner/husband, and for fun, Chris adds a bear in the slot machine too. Sierra pulls first and gets Alejandro, but Sierra shuts the door on him and begs Chris not to have him. Heather takes him instead, greatly upsetting Courtney. Blaineley then pulls and gets Owen. She is okay with this, thinking that Owen will help her image since he is an audience favorite. Courtney then pulls the handle and after getting mauled by the bear, pulls again and gets Duncan, which neither of them are happy about. Sierra is then left with Cody.

In the first part of the challenge, the grooms must lead their blindfolded brides to a wedding dress, while avoiding many obstacles, and if a duo doesn't get a dress, they can't advance to the next challenge. Duncan messes with Courtney a lot on the challenge, and Cody doesn't try since he really doesn't like being Sierra's "groom". Heather reaches the dresses first, followed by Blaineley, who ran into and ate a cake. Alejandro then leads Courtney to her dress after Duncan keeps messing with her, to Heather's annoyance. When Chris announces that the challenge is over, Sierra literally runs through the obstacles and somehow gets the last dress.

In the second part of the challenge, the couples must walk over Niagara Falls, on a tightrope, while the grooms carry their brides. Since they were first to get the dress, Alejandro and Heather get a head start, and for a dangerous twist, Chris added some sharks to the Falls. Before they start, Alejandro talks to Duncan about Owen's popularity being a threat to them and makes a deal: If Duncan votes off Owen, Alejandro will vote with him next, even if it's Courtney. The challenge starts, and Heather and Alejandro argue over who will be eliminated. After Heather's bickering, Alejandro "accidentally" loses his balance, sending him and Heather falling into Niagara Falls. He reveals in a confessional that he didn't want to look too strong on his own, especially after the teams just dissolved. Sierra and Cody are next, and Sierra carries Cody. In the confessional, Sierra reveals she can legally marry herself and Cody, as long as he says "I do". When they reach Chef to answer the trivia part of the challenge, Sierra keeps trying to get Cody to say the words, but ends up losing them the challenge, and they have to head back. The two then run into Owen and Blaineley on the tightrope. As neither of them wish to move back, they all end up falling into the water after Sierra kicks Owen in the knee and losing the challenge. Courtney and Duncan angrily cross the tightrope without any difficulty and answer all the questions correctly, but end up fighting about how they can't stand each other. Chris then announces that they won invincibility. The losing couples are seen swimming for their lives in order to get away from the sharks.

In the confessional, Sierra is upset that she couldn't marry herself to Cody because he didn't say "I do". Cody and Alejandro are seen outside, with the former desperately needing to use the bathroom. When Sierra exits and asks Cody if he needs to go, Cody replies with "I do". Sierra, after catching that, thinks they are legally married and declares to Cody that she doesn't believe in divorce. Cody argues if it was real, while Alejandro congratulates them since he was technically the witness. Sierra agrees to do Alejandro a favor since he was the witness. All she has to do is vote for Owen. When the votes are counted, the votes go: two for Heather, two for Sierra, and four for Owen, meaning he's eliminated. Blaineley is genuinely sad for Owen, but fake-cries in an attempt to gain favor with the audience. Owen gets stuck in the exit and Alejandro kicks him out of the plane, only to get farted in the face by Owen. Chris then signs off the episode.

 * Ezekiel makes a cameo, but does not speak, although he makes noises when eating the cheese he stole from the rat.

Duncan: Trust me. There will be nothing funny about this. Walk three paces ahead and turn left. (Courtney falls into a sandbox of mud) Duncan: (laughs) Heather: Yeah! No thanks to your brilliant directions! Courtney: As if I believe anything your lying lips say! (falls into another sandbox of mud) Aah! Ooh... Owen: Oh, it's ok. It's just cake.

Blaineley: Are you saying I'm not precious? Because, oh yes I am! Courtney: Urm, Yes! I declare my husband to be an insensitive jerk who thinks piercings make him cool when really, they just divert attention away from his lack of personality.

Cody: (outside the confessional, desperately needing to go) (to Alejandro, moaning) Listening to the falls all day, it really makes you have to go!

I'd like that. Al? (Alejandro's eye and mouth starts twitching) Al? Al? Al? Blaineley: (sobbing) I'll miss you most of all! Chubby Hubby! (continues sobbing, then stops) Was that good? (to Alejandro) Think the audience will like it for that? (Owen takes the Drop of Shame, but gets stuck) Owen: (laughs) Oops. Little help? (Alejandro, irritated, gets up and kicks Owen off the plane, only to get farted on by Owen) Chris: (from the cockpit after Alejandro coughs a bit) If you think that was harsh, just wait until you see what happens next time right here on Total... Drama... World Tour!
 * Owen: (in his dream, to Alejandro, who is shooting candy canes at Owen's balloons.) You can't use candy canes for evil!
 * Sierra: I'm starting to question my mom's crush on Chris just a little...
 * Heather: Wa...! Wa...!
 * Courtney: (praying) If you let us live, I will tutor any brain dead person that requires it, even Duncan!
 * Sierra: Don't worry, Cody. I will restore your breathing and save your life.
 * Chris: So, Niagara Falls is pretty awesome, eh?
 * Cody: Gwen? Is it Gwen?!
 * Heather: Um... What's the bear for?
 * Courtney: (in confessional) Eliminate Duncan from game is now number two on my to-do list; welcome to number one, Heather!
 * Courtney: You must have saved me from the Falls for a reason, so I beg you, please don't give me Duncan! (pulls down lever, and the bear comes out of slot machine)
 * Chris: Courtney and the bear are in splitsville already? Haha! Courtney, now that you're on the rebound, let's pull the lever again for lucky husband number two!
 * Courtney: (sees Duncan) Maybe I should work things out with the bear...
 * Chris: Because a good marriage is based on trust, and the ability to argue louder than your spouse, each groom will use a megaphone to guide his blind-folded bride safely to her gown.
 * Courtney: Duncan, we are on the same team. Remember? No funny business!
 * Alejandro: Yes, chica! We won!
 * Duncan: Now right. (Courtney goes left) H-Hey! I said right.
 * Blaineley: (yells after being guided into a large wedding cake) Noooooo!
 * Heather: (in confessional) I don't know what kind of weddings Alejandro has been too, but each groom gets one bride... ONE!
 * Sierra: (tackles her wedding dress) Got it! Cody! I got the dress! (Cody looks shocked)
 * Cody: (to Chris) We escaped falling down Niagara Falls just so you can make us walk over it? On a tightrope?!
 * Courtney: (in confessional) Ok, so "Eliminating Heather" is now number 1, 2, 3, and 5 of my Top 5 goals. "Ripping out Duncan's eyebrow ring" is number 4.
 * Owen: (to Blaineley) Oh, you just farted. Cool.
 * Alejandro: (in confessional about falling off the rope with Heather; chuckles) Of course I fell on purpose. I am a gifted balancer, but it would be unwise to appear too strong right now, with the teams just dissolved. I don't require immunity, thanks to my alliances with Heather, Owen, and Duncan. So I lay in wait like a crocodilo; a devilishly handsome crocodilo.
 * Blaineley: Move it, love birds!
 * Chef: Anything to declare?
 * Courtney: (to Chris, after finding out that she and Duncan won immunity) I want a divorce!
 * Sierra: (in confessional) I've been waiting two seasons for this day, and now, it's ruined! I had something gold, Chris, something new, my wedding dress, and something borrowed, Cody's toothbrush. And now I've got something blue, me! Why couldn't he just say it? Huh?! "Do you, Cody, take Sierra to be your wife, forever, and ever, and ever?!"
 * Chris: (at elimination ceremony) Duncan and Courtney have immunity, which means everyone else is fair game. What's it gonna be? (looking at votes) Interesting. Really?! Huh, who would have thought? Wow. Hehe.

Goofs

 * Ezekiel had a hole on his hoodie jacket on the right side of his stomach and another on his jeans under his left knee. The holes were originally on his right shoulder and on his right knee respectively.
 * Also, the hole on his stomach shows his skin, meaning he doesn't wear a shirt underneath, but he does, as it is seen through the neck of his hoodie jacket.
 * However, the shirt may have been cut as well.
 * While the contestants are shown sleeping, Heather's ponytail is standing straight up.
 * When the contestants are falling out of the plane, Duncan is not seen, but after the swans fall he is seen grabbing one.
 * Though, he may have just been falling off-screen.
 * Cody has a full set of teeth in the confessional when he both gargles a glass of water several times, and barfs.
 * When Cody is in a chair while Blaineley is yelling at him, he had a right hand for his left hand.
 * Also, the bracelet on Blaineley's right wrist disappears and reappears again when she snaps.
 * When Chef introduces the casino machine, the machine shows the faces of Owen, Alejandro, and Cody, but in the next scene the machine shows the faces of the Bear, Owen, and Cody.

 * While Owen is guiding Blaineley to her wedding dress, her bracelets are missing. After she walks into the cake they are back on her wrists.
 * When the wedding dresses were shown, they were facing towards the girls, but when Courtney reaches her dress, it was facing away from her.

 * When the contestants are first seen at the Barf Bag Ceremony, Courtney is missing her right arm.
 * The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) misspelled Niagara as "Nigara" in the title.
 * When Sierra kisses Cody for accidentally saying "I do", her arm bands disappear for the rest of the scene.
