Who Can You Trust?

'''The teams take part in a three part competition where trust in team mates could mean the difference between victory and defeat. Two campers learn they can easily trust each other. But one contestant loses his pet and loses trust in his best friend. One reveals to have a very soft side to another, and another contestant is voted off the island.'''

Recap
The campers eat breakfast at the main lodge with Heather still showing the effects of being locked in the freezer during the previous challenge and blaming Gwen for what happened to her. Duncan steals one of the mugs and Courtney chastises him for what he did.

Later, the teams assemble at the dock and Chris tells them that this week's challenge is centered around building trust with three challenges taking place with duos selected by Chris from each team taking part. The first challenge consists of a freehand climb up a cliff face with DJ and Duncan for the Bass and Heather and Gwen for the Gophers taking part. Chris gives them their climbing gear and explains that one person climbs while the other controls the slack on the rope and the climbers will have to contend with rusty nails, oil slicks, mild explosives and other surprises. Gwen and DJ put on the climbing gear with Gwen puzzled to see a second rope attached to her but Heather tells her its a back-up line. DJ finds his bunny in his pocket and gives it to Geoff while he's doing the challenge. Gwen openly distrusts Heather and in a confessional, Heather vows revenge and humiliation with regard to Gwen.

During the climb, Gwen falls back after an explosion but presses on. Moments later, Chris sprays Heather with hot sauce and Heather lets go of the rope to rub it out of her eyes and Gwen hits the ground as a result. Chris sprays Duncan as well, but this proves ineffective as Duncan is wearing sunglasses (to protect his eyes) and opens his mouth to swallow the hot sauce.

Gwen rejoins the climb and just after she passes DJ, Heather pulls the second rope attached to Gwen and the skirt covering Gwen's behind is torn away. Despite this, Gwen goes on but DJ slips off and he and Duncan hang in the air as a result. Moments later, Gwen reaches the top and wins the challenge for the Gophers.

The next challenge takes place in the dining hall which Chris says is an Extreme Cooking Challenge. Bridgette and Lindsay are the cooks for their respective teams and are to prepare a meal made from the Fugu blowfish, a poisonous Japanese blowfish that is to be eaten by Geoff and Trent. Trent is very nervous upon learning this and gets Lindsay to confirm she has taken Biology. When the meals are finished, Geoff takes a bite and says everything is fine. Trent takes a bite from Lindsay's dish, screams and punches himself, laughs, then turns blue, falls to the floor and vomits. Chris says Trent will be fine in twenty four hours and Chef administers CPR as a precaution.

A short time later, Geoff and Bridgette go for a swim at the dock with Geoff pausing to put DJ's bunny in a safe place before diving in. The scene shifts to the first aid tent where Chef gives Trent a needle for his food poisoning. Back at the dock, Geoff and Bridgette are drying off from their swim when they see DJ's bunny being swallowed by a large snake followed by the snake being grabbed by an eagle and the eagle swallowed by a fresh water shark, in a parody of there was an old lady who swallowed a fly.

Later, Chris tells the teams that the last challenge will have three blind challenges: the blind William Tell, the blind trapeze and the blind toboggan. For the blind William Tell portion, Chris explains that one team member will be blindfolded and will be shooting crabapples at an arrow perched atop the head of a fellow team member with the first one to knock the arrow off being the winner. Geoff heads off to supposedly get DJ's bunny while Courtney and Owen put arrows atop their heads and Sadie and LeShawna shoot apples at them. Both shooters struggle at first before LeShawna manages to win by knocking the arrow off Owen's head. Sadie, however, continues to shoot and hits the bear, the Seagull, the Sasquatch, and Courtney before realizing it is over. Before slumping to the ground unconscious, Courtney vows to make Sadie pay for her recklessness.

For the trapeze segment, Chris explains that the trapeze is set up over a pond full of electric jellyfish with one team member blindfolded that leaps into the arms of a team member swinging on the trapeze and if they miss, they land in the pond. Before the challenge starts, DJ asks Geoff where his bunny and Geoff tells him the bunny ran away and DJ is disconsolate. With Harold on the trapeze, Bridgette is reluctant to jump at first but Harold convinces her to jump and Bridgette succeeds and makes it to the other side successfully. Next, a blindfolded Heather prepares to jump to Lindsay, who is on the trapeze, but Lindsay mistimes the point for Heather to jump and Heather winds up in the pond and Chris declares the Killer Bass the winner of this segment.

At the infirmary, Heather, with a jellyfish still attached to her head, walks inside grumbling about the last challenge even as Courtney wakes up wondering where she is. Courtney then sees Duncan with a carrot luring a bunny.

Elsewhere, Chris explains that in the blind toboggan race, each team will have a blindfolded driver and navigator, who shouts directions. The teams are DJ and Geoff for the Bass and Gwen and LeShawna for the Gophers though DJ is disconsolate still. The teams set out down a steep hill but LeShawna/Gwen hit water part way down. At one point, Geoff points out that Duncan is waiting for them with DJ's bunny (the one he was luring before). DJ removes his blindfold momentarily to see this is true. Back to normal, DJ steers his team past explosions to victory in the race but Chris points out that DJ removed his blindfold, which is against the rules, and the Gophers win the overall challenge as a result. Afterwards Courtney confronts Duncan of his good deed. While he denies it at first he confesses to her (who says she won't tell anyone).

The marshmallows are given to Duncan, Bridgette, and Courtney, followed by DJ and Geoff. The final marshmallow goes to Harold with Sadie, voted off, just as Courtney had vowed. Sadie calls the other campers a bunch of marshmallow-eating freaks and runs off to the Boat of Losers wailing and crying. While walking, however, she finds Katie waiting for her on the Boat of Losers. The two reunite by hugging and squealing happily into the night.

Challenge

 * Challenge 1: Campers were to divide into groups in each team and participate in trust challenges.  Each group of a team that trumps another gains a point for their team.  The winning team receives invincibility from the campfire ceremony.

Quotes

 * Chef: Today's breakfast is Hawaiian-Italian fusion casserole! Gwen: You mean leftovers from the cooking challenge. Chef: Yeah, that's right. You got a problem with that?! Gwen: Sir! No sir!


 * Heather: You think you can just lock me up in a freezer and get away with it? I am going to make you sorry you ever met me. Gwen: (smirks and chuckles with LeShawna) Too late.


 * Courtney: (after Duncan swipes a mug and hides it under his shirt) I saw that! How could you just steal a mug? Duncan: 'Cause it's cool looking and I don't have one. Didn't have one, that is.


 * Chris: Hi, Chris here. Sometimes, teams just don't get along. So the producers and I thought that the best way to work through the group friction would be to exploit it for laughs. This is going to be awesome!


 * Gwen: (in confessional) I trusted Trent once; he left me buried alive on the beach.


 * Chris: Normally, we like to let the campers choose their partners, but not this time. More fun for me!


 * DJ: Never tried this before, have you? Duncan: (sarcastically) Oh yeah, they teach you how to climb walls in prison all the time.


 * Heather: (in confessional, referring to Gwen) It's all her fault for messing with me. I've got a doctorate in revenge and humiliation.


 * (Chris shoots hot sauce at Duncan, but his sunglasses shield his eyes and he consumes it easily) Duncan: It that the best you can do? Chris: (to the camera crew, whispering) Is that the best we can do?!


 * Heather: Come on, Gwen. You don't want to fall...behind! (pulls a line that rips off Gwen's skirt, her skirt lands on DJ's face.) Gwen: AAH! Duncan: Well, you don't see that every day. Chris: No you don't, my man. No, you don't. DJ: (removes Gwen's skirt, sees the back of her underwear and looks surprised) Whoaaaa! (slips off and falls, screaming) Duncan: (the rope slides out of his hand, wraps and tightens around Duncan's foot, and sends him flying up) Whoa! DJ: (continues screaming as they both bump into each other; Duncan and DJ both grunt.) Duncan: Ow... This bites. DJ: (groans) Big-time. Gwen: (tries to cover her underwear with her skirt) Ahh, screw it. (holds her skirt with her mouth and continues climbing. She successfully climbs to the top) Chris: Looks like the Gophers have won the first challenge! Gwen: Yeah! (remembers her skirt and covers her underwear with it) Crap!


 * (in confessional) Trent: (talking about Lindsay) Okay, she's no Steven Hawking, but hey, it's cooking. How bad could she screw it up?


 * Chris: The Fugu blowfish has enough lethal toxins to kill thirty people. Chef: Fishies, meet your maker! (tosses the fish onto plates nearby Lindsay and Bridgette) Chris: (shows a diagram of the fish and its organs in a slideshow) They must be sliced very carefully to cut around the poisonous organs. The poison paralyzes the nerves, and...! There is no antidote. So, no worries!


 * (while Trent is suffering from the poisonous fish) Trent: (strangled voice) I thought you said you passed Biology! Lindsay: I said I took Biology.


 * Chris: (watching Trent puke) It's cool. Give him 24 hours, and he'll be up walking and breathing good as new. Geoff: Is anyone going to help this guy?! (cuts to Chef giving mouth-to-mouth)


 * Chef: (to Trent) This won't hurt a bit... (takes out a huge needle) It'll hurt a whole lot.


 * Chris: The person who knocks off the crab apple without causing the least amount of facial damage wins! (Shoots an apple with the slingshot) (The apple hits DJ in the nuts) DJ: (Pained Groan) Oooh! Chris: Ahhh... Nuts!


 * Owen: (After LeShawna knocked the arrow off his head) Ow. (Laughs). LeShawna: (takes off her blindfold to check) Ooh, did I get a bullseye? Sadie: (Not knowing that Owen, and LeShawna won the challenge) I got her this time! Chris: LeShawna won already! Courtney: Hey moron, it's ov- (gets hit by apples after Sadie continues to try and shoot the arrow off; other forms of wildlife are getting pelted by crabapples as well) Chris: (shakes Sadie) Sadie!! It's over, man! Let it go! Sadie: Oopsie... (takes off her blindfold) Sorry! Courtney: (to Sadie) You're going down... (groans and faints)


 * Chris: And now, the Blind Trapeze. To avoid serious injury, the trapeze has been set up over this pond... which is full of jellyfish. (the camera focuses on the pond, which is indeed full of jellyfish; everyone gasps) You two will stand blindfolded on the platform until your partners tell you when to jump. (hands Bridgette and Heather blindfolds) Heather: And then...? Chris: Then hopefully, they'll catch you. Or that's gonna be one heck of a painful swim. (laughs)


 * Gwen: (in confessional, after Heather falls into the jellyfish pool) Sometimes, the universe just gives you a freebie. (looks up at the sky and gives a thumbs up)


 * Heather: I can't believe I trusted that little-(jellyfish zaps her) ...Ow! Freaking stinging jellyfish! (jellyfish zaps her again) ...Ow! Courtney: (coming to after being knocked unconscious by Sadie) Huh...? Where am I...? Heather: You're in the infirmary. (to Chef) Got anything for removing jellyfish? (jellyfish zaps her again) Chef: (nods) Heather: (gives Chef a thumbs-up, then lies down) Gwen: Uh-oh!! (while getting ready to fall off of a waterfall) I'm not ready to die yet!


 * (an explosion goes off) DJ: (while blindfolded) What the heck was that?! Chris: We had a few explosives left over and I just hate to waste... (sets off another explosion) Gwen: Left! (two more explosives go off) Geoff: Right! LEFT! (one more explosive goes off) (while DJ and Geoff are riding, an explosive goes under the sled, sending them way high into the air. And while Owen and Lindsay cheer their teammates on, the next minute, they gape when Geoff and DJ fall, landing on the tape and breaking it before the Gophers arrive at the finish line)


 * Courtney: (in confessional) When I say someone's going down, they go down.


 * (at the campfire ceremony) Courtney: Come on already! Chris: Don't rush me! The audience eats up this kind of dramatic conclusion.


 * Chris: Harold. (then snaps the marshmallow out of his hand, it lands in Harold's hands.) Sadie: ... You know what? That's just fine with me you... marshmallow-eating freaks! (runs away crying) (Courtney eats her marshmallow and waves good-bye to Sadie)

Goofs

 * Lindsay's Name Goof(s): She calls Trent "Todd" in this episode.
 * When Heather is electrocuted by the jellyfish, her skeleton appears to have no jaw.
 * Courtney claims that her team is one player behind, when actually they are one player ahead.
 * When Sadie is voted off, Courtney is seen putting a Marshmallow in her mouth. However, she had already eaten her marshmallow earlier, first eating half of it and then eating the other half when Courtney attempts to rush Chris to give out the final marshmallow. She possibly could have snatched the final marshmallow (which would be Harold's).
 * Harold claims to be allergic to apples in this episode, although he is eager to accept apple juice in the next episode, but Harold may have said this as a way to get out of the challenge.
 * Courtney, Heather and Trent can all be seen in the healing tent. However, in Paintball Deer Hunter, Chris said that the tent was only equipped for one person. It is possible that the tent has been upgraded between these episodes to accommodate more people as the challenges became increasingly more hazardous.
 * Heather blames Gwen for the freezer incident in the previous episode, but LeShawna, Beth, and Lindsay were responsible for the joke, not Gwen.
 * At the beginning of the blowfish challenge, Chris says that there is no antidote for its poison and that it's deadly enough to kill thirty people, but when Trent suffers from the effects of the poison, Chris says that he can just be fixed up in the infirmary. In addition, Trent is fine in the next episode. However, this may have been just to scare the campers.
