X-Treme Torture

'''Chris has the contestants pair off in the next immunity contest, a series of Extreme Sports Challenges. Somebody sees an accident in action and gets an eyeful. Due to this, this person is voted off the island.'''

Recap
The episode starts with the bear sneaking into camp and stealing some of the marshmallows while the campers are asleep, but are woken up by a plane flying overhead. It's Chris who lands in the camp to announce the "X-Treme" challenges for the day: X-Treme Sofa Bed Skydiving, X-Treme Rodeo Moose Riding, and X-Treme Seadoo Waterskiing. The winning team not only wins invincibility, but use of a mobile shower. Owen is unimpressed, but Heather, desperate for a proper shower, threatens him to perform; in fear, he then chokes on a marshmallow he was eating. Harold hits Owen on the back of the head, causing Owen to spit it out, hitting Heather in the head and making her fall down.

After breakfast, Owen is helping Chef clean up by eating all the leftovers, but accidentally eats a note left on one of the plates, belching it out at Chef who reads it. The letter is a haiku addressed to "the girl with smoldering eyes", and Chef drops it on the table where Gwen and Bridgette pick it up and read it. They argue about which of their respective boyfriends could have written it, trading insults about the other one's lack of intellect. Finally, they agree to bet two nights' dessert on who the poem was written for,

In the first challenge, Trent and DJ are brought to 5,000 ft in Chris' airplane and have to sky dive to the beach, where they must land on a sofa bed; the rest of their teammates will be on the ground, trying to maneuver the sofa beds into position beneath them. Before take off, Gwen makes the first subtle attempt to determine if Trent wrote the letter, but only gets blank stares from everyone around. Up in the plane, Chris hands Trent and DJ a set of papers to sign, telling them that they're organ donor forms for a "cannibalism challenge" that he wants to pitch to the producers. He then notes that they're over the drop point and it's time to jump. Back on the ground, the Gophers are having a tough time moving the sofa bed, when they notice Owen is sleeping on the bed; unable to awake him, they paint a bright red target on his butt and leave him there to give Trent a "soft" landing. Trent is having doubts about jumping, but DJ gives him a reassuring pat on the back that pushes him out of the plane; in a panic, Trent forgets to open his parachute, and lands face first on the beach, leaving a deep impression in the sand.

Back in the air, DJ tries to psyche himself up to jump, but is still terrified, trying to remember to pull the cords: first the blue cord, then red cord. On the way down, he also panics, and pulls the red cord then the blue. Meanwhile, the Bass are trying to maneuver their sofa bed into place, and Bridgette is asking Geoff about romance, but getting all sorts of brutish answers. They notice DJ floating to the ground and race to get the sofa bed under him; he lands safely, winning the first challenge, but while sitting on the bed, it closes back into a sofa, trapping DJ inside it. Trent, on the other hand, is now in a body cast, being wheeled around by Nurse Hatchet (Chef in a nurse's uniform). With Trent nearly on his deathbed, Gwen asks if he has anything he'd like to tell her, expecting poetic last words from him. Trent however, simply asks if his hair's messed up, leaving Gwen stunned in disbelief and Bridgette basking in the unlikelihood that Trent was the author of the love note.

On to the second challenge where Geoff is up for the Bass, and has to ride The Great Canadian Bucking Moose like a bronco bull. On the way, Bridgette makes another attempt to determine whether or not Geoff is the writer of the love letter, when Geoff shows her the tattoo on his butt again. The moose is not pleased that Geoff is standing on him, and when Chef opens the pen, he bucks Geoff off almost immediately, chucking him into a nearby pile of stinky socks. Chris calls for an instant replay of that, and focuses on how bad his makeup job is, ignoring the half-naked Geoff flying overhead.

It is now LeShawna's turn for the Gophers, and while she tries to put on her usual brave face, even she is intimidated by the large moose, who breaks out of the pen. LeShawna hangs on while passing Gwen and Bridgette who are arguing over their boyfriends, deciding that the love letter was never for them and redouble their efforts at finding the source. The moose passes them again, smashes through a bush, and stomps over the marshmallows that the bear was going to eat, with LeShawna still hanging on, grabbing a point for the Gophers.

Chris announces the third challenge, X-Treme Seadoo Waterski Challenge. The goal is to water ski behind a jet ski, driven by a member of the opposing team, collecting flags for points; the trick is that the course is actually done on land in a mud track, not in the water. Harold skis behind Heather, and Lindsay skis behind Duncan. Lindsay announces that she's ready, and we see she's wearing a very fetch bikini she mentioned earlier. Heather feels a sense of despair, worrying that Lindsay won't take the challenge seriously, which will cost them the shower reward. Harold expects an easy victory, and in the confessional he talks how his personal status will rise. Outside, Gwen and Bridgette are counting off the guys who might have written the love poem when overconfident Harold emerges from the outhouse, greets them, and trips over his pants; they count him out, and narrow it to Owen or DJ, as Duncan has a crush on Courtney. Bridgette tries asking DJ a question about poetry, who rebuffs it by asking about odd questions from left field.

Heather starts the race with such a jolt that Harold is yanked off his skis, and is being dragged through the mud; despite the pain and dirt, Harold is still able to capture the flags on the course, and grabs all five. Chris tells Heather that she has to bring Harold to the finish line or be disqualified, but she has other ideas, and plans to dump Harold so the Bass get no points. Heather turns around and pulls out a knife to cut Harold's line, but while her back is turned, she passes a rogue tree branch that hooks her shirt, tearing it off, she realzes imediately that her large boobs were exposed to the entire viewing audience, and revealing to Harold that she isn't wearing a bra. Much to Harold's happiness. Heather tries to cover herself but Harold had already seen all he wanted. Mesmerized by Heather's naked chest, Harold spaces out, and crashes into some rocks, losing the challenge; while Heather forgets to drive the jet ski, and crashes it, flinging her through the air, landing on the bear, interrupting his latest marshmallow theft. Harold is left a mangled piece of flesh, satisfyingly moaning "boobies". Gwen tries Owen, asking if he's going to use the shower so that he's ready for anyone special; but he dismisses the shower and Gwen's question.

Back at the track, it's Lindsay's turn, and she has no trouble skiing in the mud, grabbing the first flag on a ramp and performing a back flip on the way down. Duncan tries to speed up to lose her balance, but Lindsay keeps going, collecting all the flags. Duncan doesn't want to cross the finish line and hand victory to the Gophers, so he deliberately crashes, sending himself flying into a tree; Lindsay maintains her balance and her momentum carries her to the finish, winning the challenge for the Gophers. She passes Duncan and tells "Doug" that she really wanted that shower. Geoff, who is stinking from the sock pile earlier, laments that he really needed that shower. Gwen and Bridgette are distressed that they didn't discover the source of the love letter, when LeShawna passes by and picks up the letter; Chris sees this and comments that LeShawna has already received several other secret love letters. Though they now know who the letters are for, they still don't know who wrote them.

At the campfire ceremony, Bridgette and DJ receive marshmallows right off the bat; Chris then pitches a marshmallow to a distant Geoff, who is sitting in a tree with a skunk. This leaves an irritated Duncan and a placated Harold for the last marshmallow. Chris taunts both of them, which gets on Duncan's nerves, and confronts Chris about it, saying "the chick was determined". Chris then gives Duncan the final marshmallow, sending Harold to the Dock of Shame. Harold doesn't seem to mind, as he grabs his stuff and heads for the boat. On the boat, he waxes poetic above loving, losing, and seeing boobies; he then reveals to the shock of everyone who came to see him off (especially Gwen and Bridgette) that he was in fact LeShawna's secret admirer. The pair run together and kiss on the dock before Chef drags the loser to the boat.

On the dock, Geoff asks LeShawna if Harold saw her boobies, and Owen asks if they can see them, getting a loud "heck no". LeShawna then wonders whose boobies Harold did see, and tries to call out to him. Behind them, Heather walks out of her shower, and LeShawna confronts her; Heather says she would never show Harold her boobs on purpose, but LeShawna isn't happy, and chases after a shrieking Heather to enact her revenge.

Quotes

 * Chris: (while doing the recap) The Bass smelled something fishy when Courtney was suddenly voted off. Confession cams revealed that it was Harold who tampered with the votes to get back at Duncan for torturing him, which seems a bit unfair. I mean... hello; he's a bully. That's what they do. Birds gotta fly; fishes gotta swim, dude. Let a player play.


 * Trent: (to DJ) You know what they say on Blackcombe Mountain, bro. Best glimpse of heaven's on the way into hell! Let's do this!


 * Gwen:Tell you what Betty, I'll bet you two nights' dessert that the poem was for me. Bridgette: Oh, I'm up with that. ... Uh, down with that. Whatever, you're on!

Chris: Yeah, but these are for organ donations! I have this cool cannibal challenge I want to pitch to the producers and this will go a long way towards budgeting free props!


 * Bridgette: You know what's really romantic? Geoff: Uh, writing someone's name in the snow with your pee? Bridgette: Actually, I was thinking more of the written word. Geoff: Oh, you mean like a tattoo? I've got one on my butt. Wanna see?


 * (Trent is on a stretcher in a body cast) Gwen: Trent, is there anything you want to ask me before they take you to get, uh, reboned? Trent: Yeah, is my hair messed up?


 * Chris: Wait a minute, pause that. Let's just rewind that shot and run it super slow-mo. (rewind, then plays in slow-motion while Geoff, with his pants down, flies above him) I'm embarrassed. (scribbles on his picture with a marker) This is so degrading; I mean, just look at me! Can we just please get a decent budget together for hair and makeup? I look like I just fell out of bed. Geez!


 * (in confessional) Harold : This is it. We're tied for the win. Bad-to-the-bone Duncan is driving Lindsay. I'm skiing for the Bass. Winning is inevitable. Good-bye wedgies, wet willies, and toilet face plunges. Hello: Dirty Harold!


 * Chris: Here's the road rules. Oh, wait, there are no rules, which means, this is going to be awesome!

Right you are, my skunky friend.

 * Chris: As you know, if you do not receive a marshmallow you will be forced to walk the dock of shame, and you can never, ever return to camp! (brings out two marshmallows) Bridgette and DJ, you were safe. (to Geoff) Geoff, you're safe too! (throws him the marshmallow) Geoff: Muchos luchos, compadres!


 * Chris: OK, That leaves Harold, who bailed big for reasons unknown. Harold: (in confessional) Boobies... Chris: And Duncan, who bailed even bigger because Lindsay left him circling the drain in a shameful... Duncan: (grabs Chris' shirt; talks through gritted teeth) The chick was determined! Chris: ... Which is why you're safe. (Duncan takes the marshmallow, smiling devilishly)


 * Harold: Farewell, Total Drama Island. I loved, I lost, and I saw boobies. What more could a man ask for? Gwen: You loved? LeShawna: You're a man? Bridgette: You saw boobies?!


 * Harold: LeShawna, I meant every word of that poem! LeShawna: Poem? That was you...? Bridgette: No way. (LeShawna runs up and gives Harold a hug) LeShawna: Baby, you some kind of freaky! Harold: Give Daddy some sugar. (they kiss and Chef drags Harold to the Boat of Losers)


 * Chef: (in confessional) LeShawna and Harold?! I was as shocked as you, but you didn't read the letters. (chuckles) Mmm, spicy...


 * Geoff: So, Harold saw your boobies? Owen: Can we see? LeShawna: Heck no! ... Wait a minute. (calls out to Harold) Whose boobies did you see?! (Heather comes out of the shower and LeShawna glares at her) Oh, no. See, now, you messed with the wrong sister! Heather: Oh, please, it was a total fluke. You think I'd actually show that dweeb my boobs on purpose? (LeShawna runs after her as Heather screams) LeShawna: Get back here! Gwen: Well, that's settled. Night. Bridgette: Night.

 * Running Gags:
 * As the Bear is about to eat his marshmallows, he keeps getting knocked over by someone flinging into him; the first time was LeShawna while she was on the Great Canadian Moose; The second time is when Heather (after her top has been ripped off and she is thrown off the jet ski) when she lands directly on the bear.
 * Gwen and Bridgette keep arguing over who wrote the haiku love poem.


 * During the mud-skiing race, Chris says that Lindsay has collected all five flags. However, just before he announces it, he counts the flags as Lindsay picks them up and ends on four (though she may have picked up the fifth flag off screen and Chris just decided not to count it since she she had collected all the flags).


 * This is the second instant replay featuring Geoff. The first was in Dodgebrawl.


 * This marks the first time where a camper is shown taking their luggage along with them to the Boat of Losers.


 * At one point, Gwen calls Bridgette "Betty". This is a term used to refer to a female surfer, and is also a play on words considering they are "betting" each other in regards to the haiku.


 * Bridgette, Gwen, and Owen do not have a challenge in this episode.


 * It is revealed that Geoff has a tattoo on his butt. Other than Chef Hatchet, he is the only known character to have one.


 * It is revealed that Harold had a secret crush on LeShawna.


 * DJ does not attempt to back down from the skydiving challenge even though in the first episode he said he was scared of heights and did not complete the cliff challenge. He may have gotten over this fear by this point.


 * Trent and DJ were picked to do the skydiving challenge in this episode. Ironically, both of them had no lines in the previous episode.


 * This is the only episode of Total Drama Island where there are more male contestants than female. Until the end of season one, there are more girls than guys, or an equal amount of both.


 * Early in the episode, Chris was wearing an outfit similar to the X-Wing Starfighters from the Star Wars series.


 * When Chris is wearing his X-Wing pilot outfit and he is seen in full body, his pants are in the same style as the pants he always wears (except they are colored orange instead of blue).


 * Harold calling himself "Dirty Harold" is a reference to the movie, Dirty Harry.


 * In the flashback of Geoff trying to get Bridgette's attention, the colors of the beach chairs she and Gwen are sitting in match their team colors (red and green, respectively).


 * The incident where Heather's top is ripped off is possibly a reference to Who Can You Trust? when Heather used a harness rope to rip off Gwen's skirt. This may have been karma as well.


 * Even though Gwen and Bridgette ripped the Haiku in half, at the end of the episode, it appears intact while they give it to LeShawna. Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the haiku was taped back together.


 * This marks the third time Trent was injured during a challenge, but all 3 times he has healed very quickly.
 * The other two times are in If You Can't Take the Heat... and Who Can You Trust?.

Goofs

 * Lindsay's Name Goof(s): She calls Duncan "Doug" in this episode.
 * When Chef is holding the haiku letter, its small and can be held in his two fingers like a sticky note. However when Bridgette and Gwen hold it, it's as big as a normal sized paper, possibly due to the fact that Bridgette and Gwen have smaller hands than Chef.
 * When Chris is doing the recap, he says that LeShawna won the challenge for her team, when actually it was Gwen who won it.
 * When Chris is blowing the campers' hair back with his plane, Geoff's hat came off. When the campers are seen from the back about two seconds later, his hat is back on his head.
 * When Chris is doing the recap, he says that there were eleven campers from the last episode, there were actually twelve.
 * When Chris is explaining the challenges to everyone, DJ's hat changes from white to brown in different shots.
 * When Lindsay wins the race, Duncan crashes and lands in a tree, therefore Lindsay passes him and crosses the finish line. However, she later passes Duncan and says she wanted that shower, even though she had already passed him earlier when she crossed the finish line.
 * When Bridgette and Gwen are talking, Harold exits the confessional but on the door, no camera is shown. The camera can be noticed however, seen in Camp Castaways when Owen opened the confessional door.
 * Geoff says "Muchos Luchos, compadre!" as a thank-you to Chris. However, the Spanish translation of this statement is "Lots of violence, friend." It is likely that this is a joke that the writers made on purpose.
 * If one looked closely at the Seadoo Water Skiing Challenge when Heather starts up her jet ski she is briefly seen in her swimsuit from the episode Not So Happy Campers Part 2.
 * When Chris start the plane the camera goes onto the campers and DJ's hat is gone but when DJ is shown again he has it on.
 * Despite DJ continuously saying to himself to pull the blue cord then the red when he was skydiving, he pulled the red cord first. However it was highly likely that he was so scared that he accidentally pulled the wrong cord.
 * When Heather first got on the jet ski, she was wearing a swimsuit bottom. When Harold had the five flags, however, she was wearing her regular shorts.
 * LeShawna is at the Dock of Shame while she is not on the Killer Bass though she may just have came.
 * In an extended Teletoon screen when Heather's top gets ripped off, the neck collar to the top is not ripped off.
