The Sand Witch Project

'''The cast-mates compete in a horror themed trilogy challenge. DJ's conscience begins to bother him about his actions. Unfortunately, a guilty contestant removes themself from the competition.

Plot
This episode starts with the castmates relaxing, playing some cards, and eating some sandwiches. Harold talks in the confessional booth that Izzy thinks she's so cool for dealing the cards like a card shark, he shows the camera, which he thinks is an ace of spades, a card photo size of himself covering himself with a pillow (from the prank that the guys pulled on him from Total Drama Island). Each cast member is surprised that the sandwiches are delicious. Everyone was eating them all except for DJ.

While he was dreaming, he dreamt from the night before where he was preparing the sandwiches for the team. Chef comes from behind reminding him that they both were still in this to make DJ the winner and Chef to take half of the million. Back with the cast members, they are called to the fake mountain by Chris to reveal the next challenges. Once there, Chris falls and lands on a pole. He looks dead but then it is revealed that it is a stunt prop and that the theme is horror films. While everyone was screaming about Chris's stunt, Lindsay notes that Beth didn't scream like the others. Beth reveals that she cannot scream due to a faulty tonsillectomy from one of the doctor's earrings got stuck on the tonsils. Back to the challenges, each team is to select a scarer to scare the other members of their team which is being shown on the scream-o-meter. The Screaming Gaffers all agree to choose Duncan for it because he did great in the acting challenges before and he would make a great scarier, but Chef forces them and Duncan to go with DJ. In the confessional booth, Duncan tells that he like to keep his arms and told that the only thing he learn from home cooking class is to listen to the guy with the knife.

The Killer Grips are about to choose Justin but he wants someone to protect his face. Lindsay then notes that she is always a follower and never a leader like her time with the cheerleading squad where she agreed with the other cheerleaders to do what they want to. While Lindsay was trying to get everyone to go with Beth for she can't scream, Beth was distracted by Justin and the mask while Owen goes on and on how about how Izzy is cute and never scary that she was until she give Owen the angry look. While no one was answering to Lindsay, she shouts that Beth would be the scarer and that's it. The challenge begins with both Harold and Justin standing in the forest setting, and both DJ and Beth set to scare them. Beth tries to scare Justin, but he can't be scared by Beth; DJ comes out with a sorry way to scare by waving his arms and yell like mad, Harold screams the loudest which make the Screaming Gaffers win the first round.

The next round is scaring one of the teammates in the outhouse. The victims are LeShawna and Lindsay. LeShawna thinks that being scared in the outhouse was the stupidest thing ever, and Lindsay asks if she get scared would it count if she peed herself. When DJ went in to scare LeShawna, he felt embarrassed for going in where there is someone on the toilet. When Beth ran in, she scared Lindsay so much that she DID pee herself and scream twice; Beth and Lindsay score a point for their team.

The final round is the couple round where both "killers" go after the couple making out, the couples are Owen and Izzy and Duncan and Heather. Owen and Izzy were excited about the scene and started to make-out in front of Chris, but Duncan and Heather were not happy about the scene. Once Chris mention about the million, they try to kiss but they turn away from each other. When both "killers" try to scare the two couples, both couples were not scared. Until Chef comes out with a mask and chainsaw and scares Duncan, Heather, and DJ, the scare leaves DJ a state of stock where he passes out. Then they went to a break. Once back on the air, everyone was surrounding the stock DJ and see if he is still alive.

In DJ's mind, he is in the clouds and sees his mother. He runs to his mama, but she gives him a upset look and tells him she didn't raise a cheater. Then she slaps him which brings him back to the set, and gets slapped by Heather, who was trying to bring him out of the stock. He tries to talk to Chef, but Chef is talking with the producers about his little stunt. Now Chris sets them up for another challenge, where the Killer Grips' challenge was to stand in the craft serving tent and try not to get scared out of it; after Chris tells them about the old movie lot guard who mysteriously disappeared. They are given devices to detect where the ghost of the guard is at.

The Screaming Gaffers' challenge was to scare the Grips out of the tent. Harold try to scare them with a floating object trick, but it didn't work. Duncan has his turn by making some fake blood and letting it float from the windows of the kitchen, and fall. Lindsay shows everyone that she does have a brain by exposing both Harold's and Duncan's tricks.

During that time, everyone in the Killer Grips notes that Lindsay was being a bit bossy. Meanwhile the Gaffers try to think of something else to scare the Grips, and everyone turns to DJ for he hasn't been helping out with the other tricks. DJ's plan was to scare them with the ghost of the guard. Heather dresses up as the guard, and scares everyone out of the tent. Lindsay tries to tell everyone it was not real until DJ threw a fork that set off the device and sent Lindsay running. Once everyone was gone, DJ walks toward the hanging Heather and sees the conscience mama telling him that he did a bad thing and she would never forgive him.

At the Gilded Chris Awards Ceremony, it was Justin and Lindsay that was left without a reward. Justin didn't do well on the challenges and Lindsay was too bossy for the team. As Chris is about to name the winner of the last reward, DJ comes out clean and votes himself off the show for having had an illegal alliance with Chef. Chef tries to talk to DJ, but he sets Chef out. He also confesses that he was the one who made all the delicious food that everyone was eating. All the cast mates want DJ to stay and have Chef voted off, but DJ wants to make it clear and by getting voted off it will fix everything that he did with Chef. Once DJ was in the Lame-O-Sine, Owen tries to stop it but he couldn't. Chris signed off by telling Owen that the next episode they will face the most horrible thing ever... Chef's cooking. Owen then drops to the ground and pukes on Chris's shoes as the epsiode ends.

Trivia

 * This episode features numerous spoofs on various ghost and horror movies.
 * Title Reference - The Blair Witch Project: The episodes' title is a reference to this movie.
 * Halloween: Music similar to the original theme plays at the end of the first challenge; the "killers" also wielded giant butcher knifes similar to Micheal Myers.
 * The Amityville Horror: The blood tactic that Duncan used to make the wall look like they were oozing blood.
 * Ghostbusters: The ghost readers that Chris gave the Grips.
 * Lindsay pees herself in this episode.
 * With DJ's elimination, the Killer Grips now have more members than the Screaming Gaffers for the first time in the series.
 * Based on owning a picture of himself naked on the dock, Harold appears to be over the events of If You Can't Take The Heat....
 * The challenge consisted of three different horror movie scenes that each team had to complete.
 * This is the second time Lindsay is saved from almost being eliminated. The first was in Up The Creek, when the RCMP came just before the final marshmallow was distributed.
 * The "killers" for the challenge in this episode were DJ for the Gaffers and Beth for the Grips.
 * This marks the first time in the series where one team won the challenge, but ended up losing one of its own members anyway.
 * DJ becomes the second person to vote themselves off and confesses to having had an illegal alliance with Chef. Gwen was the first one to vote themselves off.
 * Once again, DJ is eliminated during a horror themed challenge (the first was the Psycho Killer challenge in Hook, Line, and Screamer).
 * It is finally revealed that DJ's initials stand for Devon Joseph; his mother also calls him "Poopydoo".
 * Lindsay was most likely the one who was supposed to be eliminated, as both Izzy and Beth seemed to give off the impression that they voted against her. Justin may have also joined in the vote since he cares nothing for her.
 * Izzy reveals she has a dog, making her the fifth person to own a dog. There other four are Lindsay, Noah, Owen and Duncan (though Duncan's had long since run away).
 * Izzy and Owen make out in both episodes based on horror movies in the overall series. They first made out in Hook, Line, and Screamer (where they first became a couple, incidentally) and now in this episode. The difference is that they are seen out in the open making out in this episode, while in Hook, Line, and Screamer, Izzy dragged Owen behind a bush to make out with him.
 * Ronnie the Rent-A-Cop from Chris' ghost story is an obvious homage to Ron the Rent-A-Cop from 6teen, another show created by the producers of the Total Drama series.
 * Chris forced Duncan and Heather to kiss in this episode during the third part of the challenge.
 * The Scream-O-Meter is very similar the Chef-O-Meter in Not Quite Famous. Ironically, Harold won that challenge when it was his turn as well (though he did not achieve the highest overall score this time).
 * Lindsay seemed to take the role of team captain for this episode when Heather referred to her as a "follower", but was too bossy, causing her to become unpopular with her teammates and almost got voted off as a result. Due to this, it is unlikely that Lindsay's status as team captain will last beyond this episode.
 * DJ kept having dreams featuring his mother sitting on a cloud and telling him that "nobody likes a cheater" due to his overwhelming guilt of being in an illegal alliance with Chef.
 * The cast members seen in the confessional in this episode were Harold, Lindsay and Duncan.
 * Beth reveals that she cannot scream due to a faulty tonsillectomy.
 * Owen states in this episode that he hates Chef's cooking. However, in many episodes previous, he has stated that he loves it.
 * Lindsay says that Owen must have S 'n' P. This may be a reference to Amanda Seyfried's character, Karen Smith, in Mean Girls noting that she has ESPN (instead of ESP).
 * This is the second time Justin and Lindsay got the final Gilded Chris Award due to DJ eliminating himself; the first time was during Riot On Set.
 * Goofs:
 * Beth states she can't scream due to a faulty tonsillectomy, but in various episodes before this one, Beth can be heard screaming. One example is in 3:10 to Crazytown, in which Chris shot his gun and Beth screamed with fear and annoyance, and in Monster Cash, she is heard screaming while running from the monster with DJ, Gwen, and Trent.
 * The Total Drama Series is supposed to be a reality game show, so unless DJ told Chris or Chef about his dreams, his dreams shouldn't be shown.
