No Pain, No Game

'''The two teams are officially dissolved and two campers that were previously eliminated return to the game. The remaining campers are now forced to fend for themselves unless they have an alliance. The campers then face an excruciating torture challenge with individual immunity at stake for the first time. Someone wins the challenge, immunity, and an awesome prize, while somebody else is voted off again for their temper.'''

Plot
The episode opens with the remaining female campers "relaxing" by the shore of the lake. Despite the calm appearance, there is clearly a level of distrust and animosity between them, mainly due to them losing the previous challenge to the boys. A fly lands on Heather's nose, but before she can swat it away, Lindsay smacks her in the face with the magazine that she was reading. Although Lindsay was only trying to swat the fly, Heather starts to yell at her. Suddenly, a yacht's horn sounds over Heather's insult. The male campers are seen returning on the yacht, dancing happily, as they have gotten back from their time at the five-star spa resort. As the boys slide onto the dock, they talk about the luxurious treatment they received, much to the jealousy of the girls. Owen offers a plate of chocolate-coated Cherry Blossoms to the girls, but Leshawna angrily throws her right sandal at the plate, knocking it out of Owen's hands and into the lake. Owen becomes incredibly upset at the loss of the food, but Geoff consoles him by pointing out that the "ladies" are just a little jealous. Duncan then chimes in, stating that the guys get along so well and the girls are all distrustful and mutinous of each other, and this means that guys are better.

Moments later, Chris announces over the PA speakers that as of that moment, the teams are dissolved and every camper is on their own. Suddenly, the boys have no problem being against each other. However, Chris is not done with the surprises and moments later, former Killer Bass member Eva returns to the island (with dramatic music playing and a giant wall of fire behind her). Eva declares she's going to pay special attention to the Bass team that voted her off earlier in the competition. Gwen openly questions why Eva returned when Chris stressed repeatedly that once a camper is voted off, they can never return "ever." Chris replies that he lied and Leshawna dissuades Gwen from arguing the matter further. Bridgette quickly learns that she is the focus of Eva's attention and desire for revenge, due to being the last female Killer Bass member remaining in the competition, and the one who suggested she get anger management. Chris goes on to welcome the second returning camper: Izzy, who swings in on a jungle vine. Izzy states that she never left the island and was living in the woods, while hiding from the RCMP. Izzy also said that she took refuge in the beaver dam. With that, Chris tells the campers to meet in the amphitheater for their next challenge. Owen gets excited for the challenge, and asks Duncan for a high-five, but Duncan reminds him that Chris mentioned that it's every camper for themselves. As Owen watches the yacht leave, he sighs and walks away.

Eva enters the girls' cabin and all of girls become scared at her entrance. When Eva questions why there is duct tape on the floor, Heather quickly rolls it up and says it isn't important. Eva gets into a confrontation with Bridgette about bunking arrangements but Leshawna quickly gets between them to Bridgette's relief. In a confessional, Leshawna states that Eva is getting on her nerves, especially after Eva calls her "thunder thighs."

Later, at the amphitheater, the campers are seated in a multilevel panel area and Chris says the next challenge will be one of torture called, "Say Uncle." Chris says any camper who backs down from a challenge or does not last the minimum ten seconds, will be eliminated and the winning camper will receive not just invincibility, but a luxurious trailer as well. After introducing a mask-wearing Chef as his assistant, Chris spins The Wheel of Misfortune for Duncan's challenge. For the challenge: "Turtle Puck Shots," Duncan is forced to stand in front of a hockey net, while Chef shoots grumpy snapping turtles at him. While unprotected, a turtle bites his crotch. Duncan groans and Chris antagonizes him by asking if he is having fun, to which he answers sarcastically. During Duncan's turn, Gwen and Trent make up for what happened in a previous episode when he left her buried underground.

For Lindsay, her challenge is "Marshmallow Waxing," in which Chef applies a melted marshmallow mixture to her face for ten seconds and she has to endure the scorching pain. She succeeds, and is actually happy about how smooth her face has become. Since Lindsay didn't complain during the challenge, she can choose who goes next. Lindsay, with Eva's "encouragement," chooses Bridgette to be the next participant, and her challenge is to stand in a barrel of leeches for ten seconds. Geoff volunteers to do the challenge in place of Bridgette, but falls just short of the ten seconds required, ending up surviving in the barrel for 9.9999999999999999999 seconds. He is subsequently eliminated and takes his place in stocks that all the losers are required to be bound in. Owen is next and his challenge is wearing a pair of wooden shorts and enduring a woodpecker. A montage follows showing Gwen getting a nose hair plucked, DJ being enveloped and squeezed by a boa constrictor (which got him out), and Bridgette wearing a shirt composed of live bees.

Chris spins the wheel and says the next challenge will be spending ten seconds inside a large wooden crate with Sasquatchanakwa. Bridgette, with the other campers encouraging her, picks Eva for the challenge. Eva enters the box and emerges after ten seconds wearing a hat and boots that appear to be made from the beast. With Eva's success, Bridgette is eliminated and Chris goes on to show a series of clips that feature how other campers were eliminated: Trent failing to jump over a row of skunks sitting between rocks, Gwen not handling ten seconds of New Age music, Lindsay unwilling to have her hair cut by Chef using a chainsaw which Chris calls the "Wawanakwa Hair Salon," and Owen unable to eat a large amount of ice cream without experiencing brain freeze. Izzy is shocked by a pair of electric eels and likes it so much she asks to have it done again. Chris tells her she can pick the next participant and she chooses herself for a poison ivy spa treatment. Chris says the judges will allow this, but they want to know why. Izzy replies that she just wants to know how it feels. She lasts the ten seconds, despite her face getting covered in red blotches from the poison ivy. However, she is eliminated for picking herself.

Chris announces that after twenty rounds of tortures, Eva and Leshawna are the final two contestants remaining. Chris tells Leshawna that her challenge is participating in a log roll with a grizzly bear named Molotov, whom Chris says has been the European log-rolling champion for the past twelve years. Chris says Leshawna must stay on the log for ten seconds and avoid certain death in the piranha-infested waters around it. Chris gives Leshawna the opportunity to back out, but she refuses; in the challenge, she stays on and Molotov falls in the water and emerges moments later almost completely stripped of his fur due to the piranhas' attack. With that, Leshawna wins individual invincibility and the brand new trailer full of food. Eva is angry about the victory, while Leshawna brags about it to her face.

At the campfire ceremony later that night, Chris tells the campers that he ran out of marshmallows, which clearly upsets Owen. Chris moves on and says that he's reviewed the confessional vote recordings and has decided to show the campers what their fellow contestants said and who they voted for. In the recordings, Heather votes for Eva, Duncan votes for Heather, Gwen, Bridgette, DJ, Geoff, and Lindsay vote for Eva and Eva votes for Heather. With that, Chris says that Eva, with six votes, has been voted off. Eva is then shown in a straitjacket on the Boat of Losers, screaming that she'll get her revenge and saying that Izzy lied about where she spent her time. Izzy quickly changes the subject before Eva can continue, and at her suggestion, the campers head off to Leshawna's new trailer to party.

Elsewhere, Sasquatchanakwa and Molotov are in a remote cave and are seen trying on some of the campers' clothes to cover their missing fur. Sasquatchanakwa puts on a hat that seems to be Geoff's missing lucky hat, while Molotov tries on Sadie's clothes, complete with a Katie and Sadie squeal.

Cast

 * Chef Hatchet appears but has no lines.
 * Sadie and Tyler appear in the flashbacks, but have no lines.

Quotes

 * Chris: Forcing the new-comer Bridgette to choose sides, now that Heather's thrown the line, will Leshawna cross the line? Can Bridgette main the line before Gwen shreds the line? And can Lindsay recognize any line, that's not a tan line?


 * Gwen: (after seeing Eva return; talking to Chris): Wait a sec, you said no one was allowed back! (Bridgette nods in agreement) Chris: (over loudspeaker): I did? Gwen: "And once you leave--" (flashback of Chris from a past episode plays) Chris: (in flashback): And once you leave on the Dock of Shame, on the Boat of Losers, you can never, never ever, EVER come back! (Gwen and Bridgette look at the loudspeaker angrily awaiting Chris's reply) Chris: Oh yeah...that...yeah, I lied. Gwen: You can't do that! It's not fair! Leshawna: Whoa, girl, you're reasoning with a loudspeaker, that just does not look good.


 * Heather: (about Eva) She was an audience favorite? Chris: Not really, but we liked her. Also returning to camp, it's Izzy! Bridgette, Eva, and Lindsay: Oh no!


 * Chris: (to Duncan) If I were you dude, I'd protect my coconuts. This could get ugly.


 * Duncan: Ohhh...(sinks to the floor with unbearable pain)


 * Chris: (cheerfully) Isn't this fun?! Duncan: (on ground) Yeah, it's a riot.


 * Trent: Are you still mad about the whole "burying you alive" thing? Gwen: Uh, yeah. Trent: I'll never forgive myself for that one. You know, you're totally the last person here I'd leave buried in the sand if I had a choice. Gwen: Really? That's so sweet.
 * Chris: Well done Lindsay! Since you didn't even complain once, you get to choose who goes next. Lindsay: No thanks. (Eva grabs her hair and pulls her towards her and whispers in her ear). Oh wait, I changed my mind. (Eva whispers again) I choose (Eva whispers again) Bridgette, with lake leeches, because she's a backstabbing, low-life traitor. (Eva whispers again) GRRRR!


 * (attempting to do Bridgette's challenge) Geoff: NO, wait! I'll take her place. Lindsay: Awww, that is so romantic!


 * Eva: (to Bridgette) Here's a toe tag, surfer girl. You'll be needing it for later.


 * Chris: Izzy, who's your next victim? Izzy: Ooh, ooh, me, with a poison ivy spa treatment.


 * Leshawna: (about Izzy) Is it just me, or is that girl some kinda crazy?


 * Chris: (after phone call) Okay, the judges will allow it, but they want to know why. Izzy: I just wanna see how it feels.


 * Chris: Leshawna, it's up to you. Your final challenge is the Grizzly Bear Log Roll. Leshawna: The Grizzly Bear say what?


 * Leshawna: (about the bear) I've seen scarier looking faces at the mall.


 * Leshawna: (after beating Molotov) Ha! That's how I roll! Chris: Leshawna wins, so Eva is out. Eva: WHAT? No way! Chris: Waaaaaaay. She wins the challenge, invincibility and the grand prize.


 * Leshawna: (to Eva) You lose, I win, you lose, I win...


 * Chris: Okay, so first off, we ran out of marshmallows. Owen: NOOOO!


 * (voting in the confessional stall) Heather: Since Leshawna's immune, there's no other choice but rage-a-holic Eva. (shows a picture of Eva with devil horns and a beard drawn on her face in red ink) Duncan: I vote for Heather, because I know she's behind Courtney getting kicked off. You'll pay for that, Toots. (to Courtney) If you're watching this on cable, I miss you babe. Gwen: Eva's a weirdo! So see ya. Bridgette: Please, please, Eva. I'm so glad you never air these. DJ: Eva's nuts. Sorry, girl. Geoff: It's gotta be Eva... unless I can figure out who snagged my other lucky hat. Lindsay: (rubbing her skin) I just can't get over how smooth this is. Anyway, I vote Ava, cause she's scarier than Heather, Laquisha and Gwen combined. Eva: (Only her menacing eye is showing) Unless they want to leave in body bags, they better not say my name. I vote for Heather.


 * Chris: Lots of dirt revealed there, huh? But, in the end, it was still six votes against Eva. So, adios! Eva: What?!?! This isn't the end of me! You better watch your backs!! I'm not done! I'll get my revenge! (on the Boat of Losers in a straight jacket) I'm not done with you!!! Oh! And Izzy lied. She wasn't in the woods, she was... Izzy: Wow, she has issues, huh? (chuckles) Party at Leshawna's new crib!

Trivia

 * Title Reference: This episode's title and content parodies the Scorpions Song, No Pain, No Gain.
 * The Wheel of Misfortune is a reference to the show, Wheel of Fortune.
 * This episode is similar to I Triple Dog Dare You!, as far as having a spinning wheel that tells you a horrific thing to do.
 * This is the last episode of the season (and, currently, of the entire series) to feature Eva as a contestant.
 * This marks the only time Eva, Trent, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Geoff, and Gwen make it to the merge in the entire series.
 * Izzy tells everyone that she hid in the woods when the RCMP came for her and while there, she befriended a family of beavers. Eva claims that Izzy wasn't in the woods, but at another location. This could be Playa Des Losers, or it could also be referring to the city possibly on the other half of the island.
 * At the end of the episode, Sasquatchanakwa, who was mauled by Eva, and the bear that lost the logrolling challenge against Leshawna, were seen wearing some of the camper's clothes. The Sasquatchanakwa is wearing Geoff's hat (which Geoff mentioned someone had stolen in the confessionals) and the bear is wearing the clothes that were worn by both Katie and Sadie. Noticeably, at the end of Who Can You Trust?, Sadie appears without her luggage that appeared in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1.
 * Owen, Izzy, Lindsay, and Gwen are the only campers seen doing more than one challenge.
 * Interestingly, they're all former Screaming Gophers.
 * Duncan passed his first challenge, but is not seen attemptting a second. Whatever it was he must have failed it, as he was later seen in the stocks.
 * Leshawna is the winner of the first individual challenge. This makes her the first camper to win solo invincibility.
 * The mask that Chef wears throughout the challenge is the same one he would later wear in Hook, Line, and Screamer.
 * This episode marks the first time in the series in which more than three members of the same team have been voted out consecutively. With Eva's elimination, four former members of the Killer Bass have been eliminated back-to-back, with the previous three being Sadie, Courtney, and Harold.
 * All remaining Killer Bass used the confessional in this episode.
 * Also, no remaining male Screaming Gophers used the confessional in this episode.
 * This is the first episode in Total Drama history to have someone return.
 * This is also the only episode in the series to have someone return and get eliminated in the same episode.
 * Chris's mention of them being out of marshmallows could be a callback to X-Treme Torture, where it was clearly seen that the bear had stolen all of the marshmallows.
 * This episode could possibly be when Izzy joined Heather's alliance as she is seen on Heather's side of the girls cabin before Eva dissolves the split.
 * This episode marks the first time in Total Drama history where Chris simply reveals who the contestants voted to be eliminated, rather than handing out safety items.
 * This would later become a trend for most of Total Drama World Tour.

Goofs

 * Gwen is still mad at Trent for not digging her up in Phobia Factor.
 * In past episodes including Up the Creek, Paintball Deer Hunter, If You Can't Take The Heat..., Basic Straining, and X-Treme Torture, she seemed to be perfectly fine working with him with no signs of a being mad at him.
 * Gwen even insinuated in X-Treme Torture that the two of them were a couple.
 * Eva tells Bridgette that she recalls her telling Eva that she needs anger management classes.
 * In The Big Sleep, Courtney, the only contestant on her team to talk about Eva's temper, didn't say anything about anger management classes.
 * This could, however, be taken as a reference to an off-camera comment of some sort, or Eva simply blowing the situation out of proportion and choosing Bridgette as a scapegoat for being the last female Killer Bass in the competition (and also for being a close friend of Courtney's).
 * When Lindsay was subjected to the "marshmallow waxing" challenge, Chris says her entire body will be covered in the marshmallow wax, but Chef only covers her face.
 * Gwen talks with Chris through the loudspeaker, regardless of the fact loudspeakers can not receive noise, only send it.
 * Despite the wheel only having eight spaces, there were fifteen different tortures given to the contestants.
 * Also, four of the challenges were not even named.
 * What happened after a contestant won a challenge varied throughout. Lindsay and Izzy got to choose the method of torture for their designated victims, but after Bridgette survived the "vest of bees" challenge, her victim's method of torture ("fight Sasquatchanakwa") was preselected.
 * In the final round, Chris states that Eva is up for the next challenge, but Leshawna ends up doing the challenge.
 * Eva was automatically eliminated from the challenge after Leshawna won. However, Eva did not pick the challenge for Leshawna, so she shouldn't have been eliminated.
 * In the shot where Leshawna tells Eva off, Eva appears wearing her swimsuit, despite the fact she does not wear it throughout the entire episode.
 * Izzy is never shown in the stocks with the other campers despite being eliminated from the challenge.
 * At the campfire ceremony, Trent is not present with the others.
 * When everyone exits the dock after Eva is eliminated, they walk in the direction of the water, not land.
 * The log roll with Molotov is supposed to be ten seconds long, but the challenge goes on for approximately thirty seconds.
 * At the campfire ceremony, when Chris reveals that he will be airing the campers' votes, a television falls from seemingly nowhere. This is impossible since there is no roof.
