The Big Sleep

'''The two teams set out on a twenty mile race that they think is the contest on this occasion. However, the real challenge is much more grueling: The Awake-A-Thon. The camper who is the last one awake wins for their team. As the first alliance is formed, another camper is voted off the island.'''

Recap
Chris wakes the two teams up at 7 AM and says the next challenge begins in one minute with a twenty kilometer run around the lake. Some campers make an attempt at the run, while others choose to walk, and a few (IE: Noah and Harold) even struggle to finish. Afterwards, the tired campers are gathered in the main lodge. When everyone on the Screaming Gophers arrives before everyone on the Killer Bass, they think they have won the challenge. However, Chris interrupts them to say the run wasn't the challenge and unveils a delicious banquet for the campers to eat. Turkey, energy bars, cooked beans, maple syrup, gravy, and so much more make up this huge feast. The campers gladly eat all of the food, overwhelmed by being able to eat real food after a week of Chef Hatchet's barely-edible meals. They all think they have been through enough, but Chris announces the second part of the challenge: the Awake-A-Thon. The rules are that the last person awake wins the challenge for his or her team. The twenty kilometer run and the large banquet of food served to make it more difficult for the campers to keep from falling asleep.

Twelve hours into the competition, Chris notes that all twenty one campers are still awake, but Owen quickly becomes the first one to succumb to slumber. Heather muses in her confessional about setting up an alliance to get her to the final three, needing someone desperate or dumb enough to be her lackeys. She asks Beth and Lindsay to join her in the alliance and do whatever she says, which they agree to do. On her way to the bathroom, Eva drops her MP3 player. Heather, apparently well aware of Eva's short temper and conflict with her own team already, secretly scoops the MP3 player up and hides it. Heather banks on this enraging Eva, which will cause her teammates to eliminate her and get rid of one of their strongest members.

When the Awake-A-Thon hits the twenty-four hour mark (one full day and night), eighteen of the twenty-one campers remain awake. Chris decides to start reading fairy tales to the campers, accompanied by Chef (dressed in a tutu) playing the harp in order to lull more of the campers into sleeping. Chef starts dancing and sprinkling "sparkles" (possibly "sleeping sand") over the campers (with Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy music playing in the background). DJ, despite his attempts to stay awake by tying himself to a tree, falls asleep, taking the tree down with him. Courtney looks to keep moving in place constantly in order to stay awake, but eventually passes out as well.

The score evens up with four Gophers and Bass awake when Lindsay and Beth fall asleep. Owen is seen sleepwalking in the nude as Trent and Gwen talk to each other to try and stay awake (which is the first time a relationship between the two starts to bud). Owen falls off the thousand foot cliff as his sleepwalking continues.

At the fifty-one hour mark, Gwen and Trent notice that Justin has painted eyes to pretend to be awake and is ruled out by Chris. After Owen is shown sleep-swimming upstream with the fish, the scene shifts to eighty-five hours into the Awake-A-Thon. Duncan passes the time by causing a sleeping Harold to wet himself by putting his hand in warm water; Duncan is ecstatic when he realizes the old trick actually works. Noah awakes to discover he is cuddling with Cody and kissing his ear, which leads to both of them screaming in horror. Eventually, Chris suggests that the campers who had fallen asleep should take a shower, as everyone was starting to smell by this point. Harold, hoping no one will see that he had wet himself, is more than glad to obey.

By the 100-hour mark, only Duncan, Gwen, Heather, Eva, and Trent are left awake. Chris uses his last resort to lull the remaining campers to sleep: reading to them the history of Canada in pop-up book form. This is boring enough to put Eva and Heather to sleep. After a long struggle, Trent falls asleep soon after, which devastated Gwen (who was depending on him so she could still stay awake). It was now down to one Gopher and one Bass: Gwen and Duncan, respectively. After a while, Chris decides to give the remaining contestants a bathroom break. Duncan tries to hold it, but concedes when Gwen challenges him to hold it for another ten chapters. Duncan is later found sawing wood in the bathroom, and this news is announced mere seconds before Gwen passes out as well. Gwen is the official winner of the Awake-A-Thon, giving her and her team invincibility.

Later that afternoon, Eva is seen throwing things out of her cabin's window, looking for her MP3 player. Eva accuses her teammates of stealing it. Soon Heather arrives and says she found the MP3 player next to the campfire pit, then hands it back to Eva, who tries to apologize to her team for snapping and accusing them, but is only frowned upon. This marks the start of Eva's conflict with Heather. That night at the campfire ceremony, Eva is voted off for her temper. After screaming at her former teammates and kicking Chris in the shin, Eva boards the Boat Of Losers and leaves the island.

Meanwhile, Courtney has a marshmallow toast with her teammates; vowing that her team will not end up in this position again next week.

Quotes

 * LeShawna: (after Chris wakes everyone up, banging her head on the window) It's seven in the morning!! Do I look like a farmer to you?


 * Courtney: (in the Confessional stall) Okay, that girl Eva has got to get a handle on her temper. She's only been here one day and already she's thrown her suitcase out the window and broke one of the locks on the bathroom door.


 * Owen: (out of breath) Can't... catch... breath... must... have... condition! Heather: Yeah, it's called "over-eating". Look into it. LeShawna: Well, what's your excuse, you skinny, bossy... whew! (leans against a tree) Too tired for insults.


 * Gwen: So you mean that the 20k run and the turkey-eating frenzy were just part of your sinister plot to make it harder for us to stay awake? Chris: That's right, Gwen! Gwen: Man, he's good.


 * Owen: Stay awake for 12 hours? I could do that in my sleep! (faints)


 * Gwen: (in the Confessional) The Awake-A-Thon was definitely the most brutal thing I had ever done in my life. (camera cuts back to Awake-a-thon)  Gwen: (yawns) This is the most boring thing I've ever done in my life. Trent: It could be way worse. Gwen: Oh yeah? How? Trent: I could be stuck here without you to talk to.


 * Gwen: Favorite song? Trent: "She Would Be Loved". Favorite color? Gwen: Midnight Blue. Trent: Ooh, mysterious. I like that. (Gwen blushes and yawns) Trent: No, don't fall asleep now! Quick...favorite movie moment... Gwen: You're gonna think it's cheesy. Trent: I promise I won't. Gwen: Okay, the kiss of the end of that road trip movie, you know, the one with the guy and the three girls. Trent: I know the one! You like that movie? (Owen walks by without his clothes on and Gwen & Trent stare)


 * Owen: (in the Confessional Stall) Did I mention that I ate the entire batch of baked beans and maple syrup? Funny thing about baked beans... they make me sleepwalk. (Cuts back to the Awake-A-Thon, this time to Sadie and Katie, who are fast asleep) Sadie: (snores loudly) Katie: (exhales; snores very loudly) Sadie: (exhales; snores) (The scene cuts back to Trent & Gwen as Katie & Sadie continue snoring loud) Trent: Cool... they even fall asleep together.


 * Gwen: (yawns) I'd kill for a coffee right now. Chris: (drinking a coffee) What is wrong with you people? C'mon, fall asleep already! Gwen: (on her knees, desperately tugging at Chris' shirt) You've gotta hook me up, man. I'll even eat the grinds!


 * Chris: I didn't want it to come to this. I said that to Chef Hatchet last night.  I said, "Chef, I don't want it to come to this."  But darn it, these campers are tough!  And so, I've come up with the most boring, sleep-inducing activity I can find. Gwen: (in the confessional) Oh, come on!  What now?  Okay, you know what?  Bring it on! Chris: The History of Canada.  A pop-up book.  Chapter one, the beaver.  National symbol and a "dam" fine hat.


 * Chris: Before we continue on with the story, who needs a bathroom break? Duncan: I've held it this long, sweetheart! I can go all day. Gwen: Yeah, but can you hold it for another ten chapters?


 * Eva:(sarcastically) Nice, really nice. Who needs this stupid TV show anyway?! (kicks Chris in the shin) Chris:(clutching his leg) OW! Have a good night sleep tonight. You're all safe.


 * Courtney: Bye-bye, Eva. (Eva throws a spear at Courtney, which barely misses her) Touchy!


 * Eva: (as she is leaving on the Boat of Losers) I guess my temper did get the better of me... again. But whatever, it's their loss. They just lost their strongest competitor; I hope they realize that!


 * Courtney: (at the bonfire) To the Killer Bass! And to not ending up here again next week!

Goofs

 * When all the campers are standing in front of the cabins, getting ready for the first challenge, Harold is seen walking over to stand next to Eva, but in the next scene Cody is walking over to her and he clearly wasn't anywhere near by in the previous scene.
 * Chris is wearing shorts when he wakes the campers up (Heather even comments on this). However, when he starts the run around the lake, he is wearing pants.
 * In the confessional, Courtney says that Eva had only been on Camp Wawanakwa one day, meaning that was how long they were on the island. However, Gwen later says that they had eaten Chef's food for a week, implying that they were there for that long.
 * When Gwen and Trent see Owen naked, their eyes are wide and the bags are missing. The eyes also widen when they think Justin is still awake, yet the bags are still there.
 * The campers are all tired and thus have huge bags under their eyes, yet when they are in the Confession Booth, the bags are always gone. This could possibly hint that since the campers are, after all, talking in the past tense, Chris asks the campers to confess in the booth AFTER the show is finished and a camper is eliminated.
 * The Screaming Gophers apparently won the racing part of the challenge, however Izzy doesn't appear with the Gophers in the cafeteria.
 * When the Bass team are waving good-bye to Eva, Justin is seen with them, though he is not a Bass member.
 * When the campers are sitting in the cafeteria waiting for the others to finish their run, the table on the right has no one sitting on the inside row. However, in the next scene, Beth is sitting there.
 * When Gwen is talking to Trent (attempting to stay awake) the bags under her eyes are missing, however they instantly show up again on her close up.
 * At one point, the score stands at nine Gophers to seven Bass. However, these scores are reversed, as there are nine Bass awake (only Bridgette is asleep) to seven Gophers (Owen, Noah, Izzy, and Leshawna are asleep).
 * When the counter points out 6 Gopher campers are still up, there are actually 7 awake: (Gwen, Trent, Heather, Justin, Lindsay, Beth, and Cody).
 * Before Owen began to sleep during the 12-hour checkpoint, Chris said that all 21 campers are still awake. However, when Owen got eliminated, the scoreboard shows that the Killer Bass are winning 10 to 9. The Screaming Gophers still have all 11 teammates, meaning that if all 21 campers participated, the original score should have been the Gophers with 11 to the Bass' 10, and later 10-10 after Owen got eliminated.
 * Throughout the series, Cody is missing a tooth. But when Owen farts in his face, he has a full top row of teeth.
