Not So Happy Campers - Part 1

The twenty two contestants arrive at the island, are divided into teams and learn the rules of the competition they will be taking part in.

Recap
Chris greets the audience from Camp Wawanakwa somewhere in Muskoka, Ontario and tells the viewers that twenty two campers have signed up to spend eight weeks at a summer camp where they will participate in challenges every three days and the winning team will receive a reward. The losing team will have to vote one of their own members off the island in a campfire ceremony where survivors receive marshmallows to mark their survival after which the member will take a walk down the "Dock of Shame", take a ride on the "Boat of Losers" and leave Total Drama Island forever (Well not really, since Eva and Izzy come back.). Chris goes go on to say that the numbers will dwindle down with the last one achieving tabloid fame and winning a small fortune. Chris says all dramatic moments will be caught by hundreds of cameras situated all over the island, and then tells them that they may be TO'd because they were told that they were staying in a 5 star resort and with that, the episode begins.

Next, Chris is on the dock and ready to meet the first eleven campers. Beth arrives and immediately hugs Chris as she states Chris looks much shorter than what she expected. DJ arrives next and comments how the camp isn't what he expected. Gwen arrives and says she did not sign up for staying at the run down camp and tears up her agreement but Chris pulls out a copy of the agreement and points out that Gwen's ride has already left. Geoff arrives and greets Chris enthusiastically with the word "man" said many times. Lindsay arrives and catches the notice of all of the boys (especially Chris) and says Chris looks familiar and when Chris points out he's the show's host, Lindsay says that's where she's seen him. Heather arrives to dramatic music and noticeably shrinks from Beth's enthusiastic welcome. Duncan arrives and Chris says Duncan's parole officer called to say Duncan can be returned to juvenile detention any time if the show has any problem with him but Duncan doesn't seem bothered by this statement. As Heather fumes over the conditions, Tyler arrives on water skis but crashes into the dock and the splash soaks Heather.

Harold arrives toting a keyboard and is okay with the conditions of the camp. Trent arrives next and mentions seeing Chris on a figure skating show as he also notices the run down nature of the camp and Gwen. Bridgette arrives carrying a surfboard and says she thought they were going to be on a beach. Noah arrives next and asks if Chris got the memo he sent listing a number of life threatening allergies he has and Chris states that he's sure someone did. LeShawna arrives and talks confidently of winning but reacts negatively to Harold saying that she's big and loud. Katie and Sadie arrive together and gush over the camp they'll be staying at. Ezekiel arrives and Chris counsels him that considering Ezekiel was home schooled and didn't get out much, try to stay quiet and avoid getting voted off early in the game. Cody arrives next and notes that the ladies have already arrived. Eva arrives and when Cody asks, Eva says she has dumbbells in her luggage. Owen arrives and shouts happily as he grabs Chris and gives him a bear hug. Courtney arrives and as Owen greets her, Justin arrives with awe evident in all the camper's faces at his good looks. Chris mentions to Justin that he is in on the show for his looks alone and Justin is okay with that. Izzy arrives but hits the dock face first and drops into the lake though Izzy doesn't seem bothered by the accident at all.

With that, Chris gets the campers to go to one end of the dock for a group picture but the dock collapses under the campers as the picture is taken. Chris tells the campers to dry off and meet him at the campfire pit in ten minutes.



At the campfire pit, Chris tells the campers the person who is the last one left in the competition wins one hundred thousand dollars. As for sleeping arrangements, Chris says guys get one cabin and the gals get the other. Chris splits the campers into two teams with Gwen, Trent, Heather, Cody, Lindsay, Beth, Katie, Owen, LeShawna, Noah and Justin forming the Screaming Gophers and Geoff, Bridgette, DJ, Tyler, Sadie, Izzy, Courtney, Ezekiel, Duncan, Eva and Harold forming the Killer Bass team. Chris mentions that the campers will be sharing their thoughts in a video diary taped in the outhouse and this is followed by Gwen, Lindsay, a black duck and Owen sharing their thoughts. Chris goes on to say that the Gophers are in the east cabin and the Bass members are in the west cabin and also points out there is a communal bathroom building for everyone to use. After Chris gives everyone thirty minutes to unpack before meeting him back at the main lodge, Duncan kills a cockroach that was bothering everybody with an ax.

At the main lodge, Chef gives his instructions as to how he will be serving meals on a daily basis and ignores some of the campers requests and complaints. Chris arrives and says the first challenge starts in one hour. DJ doesn't think that the challenge will be difficult but when the camera shows a a very tall looking cliff, DJ quickly changes his mind.
