Super Hero-ld

'''It's a super time on set as the contestants participate in super hero based challenges. Someone forms a fierce rivalry with another contestant, while two others maintain their old rivalry. A new alliance is formed, replacing an old one and it all ends with one cast member being eliminated, and someone breaking his heart.'''

Plot
The episode begins with flashbacks revealing that Courtney and Lindsay actually took the cheese factory tour, though Courtney didn't seem too enthusiastic about the trip. Back on the set, Harold gets upset because Duncan kicks Harold's behind while a burrito is in his pocket, causing the burrito to get smashed in Harold's pants. Justin intervenes in the fight and uses the temporary peace to form a guys' alliance with Harold and Duncan, based on the premise that the girls outnumber the guys four to three and with Courtney back on the show, the girls will eventually figure it out and pick them off one by one. The scene then cuts to Leshawna and Beth, who are enjoying some cheese that Lindsay brought back from the factory. However, Courtney refuses to eat, as she is simply angry at Lindsay for enjoying the cheese factory tour so much and because the cheese smelled so bad. The two groups go to bed as they talk about what to do about the opposing group. The guys' alliance agrees that they will need a plan to remain in the competition so that one of them can win the million dollars.

The next day, the contestants arrive at the center of the film lot in their pajamas and see Chef being held in the air by a bungee cord, wearing a pink dress and screaming for help. Chris jumps from a building, dressed in a costume that resembles Batman, and manages to grab Chef. The two then fall as the cords they were attached to break. Chris lands by Courtney's side and she asks when he'll tell her about the challenge, but Chris is too angry about the cord snapping to even care. Shortly afterwards, Chris announces that he feels like telling everyone what the challenge is, so he does. Chris tells the final seven that the challenge will be based on superhero movies, and that all of them must dress as superheroes, tights and all, for the challenge. They each have to make their own super hero costume and will be judged on originality. Everyone is upset to learn that they will have to be wearing spandex outfits, along with other extra "junk," except for Lindsay. He also tells them that Chef under the alias of "Pythonicus," along with his sidekick cat "Dander Boy," will be playing the super villain and will attempt to sabotage their work. All the castmates work on their outfits except Duncan, who doesn't seem to care.

The contestants all come out with their finished costumes and made-up powers. Beth comes out as "Lumber Woman," whose superpower is being able to talk to plants, but gets a 3/10. Justin's outfit is practically the exact same thing, except his name: "Timber Man," and gets a 2/10. Chris likes Harold's persona, which was "Captain Alberta." Due to "Keeping it Canadian" and having such a good superpower (powerful farting); he gets a 7/10. Chris is dismayed when Duncan's superhero is revealed: "The All Seeing Eye." However, Duncan refuses to wear any spandex and Chris gives him a 2/10 for poor superpowers. He has hope when Courtney's outfit as the "Human Cricket" gets an 8/10, due to an annoying sound that the costume made, which was her superpower. Leshawna receives a 7/10 as "Super Aqua Chick" after she sprayed Chris with water. Lindsay is the last to come out and says her super hero is "Wonder Woman," but is reminded by Courtney that Wonder Woman already exists. Chris, however, says he loved Wonder Woman as a kid and proclaims Lindsay the winner. Courtney argues that her outfit wasn't original, but Chris reminds her that he makes the rules. After Lindsay complains that Courtney stepped on her "invisible jet," Courtney gets two points taken off her final score, even if the winner had already been decided. Lindsay then asks if they want a ride on her invisible jet, to which everyone, except Courtney, raises their hands. Chris then winks to the camera saying "I love this show."

The second challenge is for each contestant to jump from a trampoline, over a building, then land on a mattress to save a "girl," which is actually a potato sack wearing a dress. Duncan teases Chris in the confessional by saying that Chris probably had dinner with the potato sack last night, which leads to a flashback of exactly this. Finally, the contestants must go through a "meteor shower" (Chef throwing bowling balls) over an electric wire. For a demonstration, Chef throws a bowling ball at a water tower, which goes straight through the tower, sending water pouring out of it. The contestant who completes the challenge in the least amount of time wins. Lindsay gets ten seconds cut off since she won the first challenge.

Lindsay is up first for the obstacle course and, despite her bonus, she does a terrible job. She fails her jump, misses the potato sack, and is hit by a bowling ball when she crosses the telephone wires. Harold surprises everyone by putting on a great display and even manages to use his "superpowers," which are farting to speed up his time. Harold completes the challenge with an impressive thirty six seconds. All the other five go next, but Leshawna hits a prop, failing her jump. Justin is hit by a bowling ball, is electrocuted, and fails as well. Duncan, Harold, and Courtney were the only ones to finish the course. Even though Harold makes it in thirty-six seconds; Courtney wins the challenge, and invincibility, with thirty seconds.

The guys try to think of whom to vote off that night, and when Justin suggests they should vote off Courtney since she is the biggest threat, a worried Duncan reminds him that she won immunity. Duncan then tells everyone to vote off Leshawna, to Harold's anguish, and he refuses to vote with the alliance. Duncan convinces Courtney to vote off Leshawna, and to tell Harold to do so too, her knowing the girls will want her off if she loses the next invincibility challenge. Leshawna, Lindsay, and Beth are deliberating in the washrooms, and they choose Duncan, not only because he's a strong contestant, but because it would hurt Courtney as well. Leshawna points out that only three of them wouldn't be enough, and Beth attempts to convince Harold to vote off Duncan. Courtney then appears and tells Harold to vote off Leshawna, and lies to him by saying the girls were trying to vote him off.

At the Awards Ceremony, the Gilded Chris awards go to Courtney, Justin, Beth, Harold, and Lindsay in that order. Leshawna and Duncan were the last two left, and the final award went to Duncan. Leshawna was voted off, leaving Lindsay and Beth shocked. Leshawna thought that they had betrayed her into voting her off, but Harold later jumps onto Leshawna, telling her that he is sorry, saying that he joined Duncan, Courtney and Justin into voting her off. He wasn't sure if he could trust her, but he realized he made a mistake. Leshawna tells him not to worry because she made a mistake earlier, and then forgives him. As Leshawna heads on over to the Lame-o-sine, Harold, Lindsay and Beth waved goodbye to her. Leshawna tells Harold to keep continuing on in the game and tells him to stand up for himself. After she leaves, Duncan tells Harold that he has something in his pocket, only to kick him in the butt when Duncan once again put the burrito in Harold's back pocket. When Harold said that things couldn't get things worse for him, Chris knocks him to the ground in order to close the show. After Chris signs off, Harold tells him that he broke his glasses.
