Not So Happy Campers - Part 2

'''The two teams face off in their very first challenge: jumping off a thousand foot cliff into a small safe zone shark-infested waters and building a hot tub out of materials they find in crates at the base of the cliff. As one team bonds rather quickly, the other team already find themselves falling apart from the start, with one person finding herself on the chopping block. But, it is someone's sexist views that gets them voted off the island first.'''

Plot
The episode opens up where the previous episode ended, with all of the campers assembled at the top of the cliff. Chris then reveals the first challenge of the series: The contestants must jump off of a one-thousand foot tall cliff into the safe-zone in the lake. For every camper that completes the challenge, their team shall receive a point. After each contestant is offered a chance to jump, the points are tallied, with the winning team earning an advantage. Chris also reveals crates of supplies for the second part of their challenge: building a hot tub. The team with the best hot tub gets to have a hot tub party that night, while the losing team must vote a camper off for the first time. Bridgette thinks the challenge is fairly straightforward, but Chris reveals that their target is actually a very small safe zone area inside the lake, and that the rest of the lake is loaded with rare fresh water man-eating sharks.

The Killer Bass are up first and Bridgette bravely volunteers to go first. She successfully completes the jump. Spurred on by her victory, Tyler enthusiastically jumps next, in which although he crashes painfully onto one of the buoys in the lake, he lands in the safe zone. Geoff, Eva, and Duncan then successfully complete their jumps with no sign of fear at all. However, DJ is afraid of heights and does not jump. Due to this, Chris places a Chicken Hat on DJ and taunts him. Ezekiel and Harold complete their jumps, but they both end up getting injured, as Ezekiel ends up hitting a jutting rock while Harold lands on his crotch. Courtney refuses to jump, saying that she has a medical condition that prevents her from jumping off cliffs. Chris warns her that not completing the challenge might cost her team the win and there will be a good possibility that she would be eliminated as a result. However, Courtney accepts the risk, as she doesn't think most of the members on the other team will jump.

Only Sadie and Izzy are left. However, Sadie refuses to jump without Katie, as the two girls are best friends. Both of them beg Chris to allow one of them to switch teams. Izzy then offers to swap and Chris allows it, placing Katie on the Killer Bass and Izzy on the Screaming Gophers. Katie and Sadie squeal in happiness and excitedly run off the cliff together.

The Screaming Gophers are up next, and Chris offers them an incentive. If they can beat the Killer Bass' score, he'll give them pull-carts to carry their crates.

With nine out of the eleven Killer Bass members deciding to jump, it's then the Screaming Gopher's turn. Heather refuses to jump, stating that she does not want to get her hair wet on national television. Leshawna then argues with her about not jumping as she does not want to lose their first challenge all because Heather doesn't want to get her hair wet. They begin to insult each other until Leshawna throws Heather off the cliff, into the safe zone, effectively making her jump. Leshawna jumps after her, followed by Lindsay, Gwen, Cody, Izzy, and Justin. Justin lands outside of the safe area, to the concern of the other campers, but his looks charm the sharks and they carry him to shore. Beth chickens out of jumping, while Trent and Noah jump.

After most of the team has jumped, Owen is the only one left. He is not a strong swimmer and is obviously scared of jumping off the cliff. The Gophers are nervous, but Owen manages to overcome his fear and jump off the cliff. When he falls, he makes a tremendous splash, knocking Trent and Noah, who were in the water, to the beach. However, he still earns the advantage for his team.

The Gophers, with their pull-carts, happily sing as they walk back to the campsite, showing how easy the challenge is for them, while the Bass are having trouble and complain about moving their crates without the assistance of wheels. The team's luck becomes even worse when Katie and Sadie have to take a bathroom break and Courtney gets a bug bite on her eye. When Katie and Sadie return from relieving themselves, they begin feeling really, really itchy. Bridgette surmises that they must have squatted in poison ivy when they went to the bathroom in the woods. The itching becomes so unbearable that Katie and Sadie can't do anything but scratch, let alone help out with the crates. Meanwhile, the Gophers' hot tub is coming along nicely, as they open crates and find useful parts for assembling their hot tub. Heather approaches Leshawna and apologizes for her rudeness earlier. Leshawna is moved by the apology, and agrees to have a truce with her. In private, Heather admits to Lindsay that her apology wasn't the least bit sincere. When Lindsay asks why she faked being nice to Leshawna, Heather reminds her of the old adage "keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Lindsay asks if Heather considers her a friend, and Heather assures her that she is, "for now."

At this point, the Killer Bass are behind in building their hot tub and two players down, as Katie and Sadie are still tending to their rashes. Geoff and Courtney attempt to rally their team to win the challenge. However, their teamwork is just not as good as the Gophers', who also have one more crate than they do. Duncan criticizes Courtney's high-handed nature, claiming her to not be an effective leader both due to her bossiness and her assuming others' weakness, which includes the Chicken Hat and a black fly bite swelling her eye. As a result, the Gophers build a fully functional hot tub, while the Bass assemble a badly-constructed one that leaks and collapses in on itself, costing them the first challenge.

At dinner, the Bass try to decide who they are going to vote out. Duncan says that it should be one of the two who didn't jump, and that he's considering voting out Courtney, because he believes DJ's strength would be more beneficial in future challenges. Courtney is incensed by Duncan's choice, arguing that her experience as a C.I.T. (Counselor In Training) makes her valuable. She tries to shift attention towards Tyler for no apparent reason, which Lindsay vociferously objects to. Then, she quickly makes an excuse that there is no salt on the table to direct the attention away from the awkward moment she had put herself and Tyler in. Duncan and Geoff, however, aren't interested, as Tyler actually jumped. Ezekiel wonders why their team lost, as the Gophers had more girls on their team. When Eva and Bridgette question as to what he means by this, Ezekiel explains that guys are stronger and better at sports than girls, which especially angers the two of them, who are two of the most athletic Bass girls. Geoff attempts to calm down the angry girls, but Ezekiel continues his misogynistic speak, which angers every female on the Killer Bass.

At the campfire ceremony, Chris has a plate of marshmallows and explains that marshmallows will be given out to all campers who are not going to be voted out; the one camper who does not receive one is eliminated and must leave. Chris then gives marshmallows to Geoff, Tyler, Katie, Bridgette, DJ, Harold, Sadie, Duncan, and Eva (which is not shown). The bottom two comes down to Courtney and Ezekiel. They both start to panic, as dramatic music plays for a while. Chris finally gives the final marshmallow to Courtney, leaving Ezekiel as the first camper voted out of Total Drama Island. Chris then suspects that Ezekiel was eliminated for picking his nose, rather than his derogatory comments towards women.

Back at camp, the Gophers are enjoying their hot tub party as the Bass walk by. Courtney then declares to the camera that they can enjoy their first victory, but she will win the competition and no one is going to stop her.

Cast

 * As revealed in an interview with Emilie Claire Barlow, Courtney was voiced by a different actress in these first two episodes.

Quotes

 * Chris: (while doing the recap) Last time on Total Drama Island, 22 campers signed up to spend 8 weeks right here in this crummy old summer camp. Then have to face the judgement of their fellow campers.
 * Owen: (about the challenge) Don't sweat it, guys. I heard that these shows always make the interns do the stunt first to make sure it's survivable. (Cuts to a flashback with Chris and Chef on top of the cliff) Chris: We need to test the stunts first. You know that. Chef: Do I look like an intern? Chris: No, but the ones we had are all in the hospital. C'mon, just jump it, you big chicken. (makes chicken noises) Chef: (while putting goggles on) I don't get paid enough for this, man. (jumps)


 * DJ: Uh-uh. No way, man. I'm not jumping. Chris: Scared of heights? DJ: Yeah. Ever since I was a kid. Chris: That's okay, big guy. Unfortunately, that also makes you a chicken. So, you'll have to wear this... (puts chicken hat on DJ) ... for the rest of the day. DJ: Aww, man. For real?! Chris: Bawk bawk bawk! That means, the chicken path down is that-a-way. (points to an escalator) Next! Ezekiel: (jumps) Yee-haw! (He then hits a big rock jutting out of the side of the cliff and tumbles around and around, but still lands in the safe zone. All the Killer Bass cheer, and Ezekiel comes up with a thumbs-up) Harold: Yes! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! (Harold is falling in a perfect split and lands in the safe zone, but on his crotch; all of the guys are shocked; even the sharks are shocked) AAAHAAAAHAAAAHAAAAHAAAAH!!! (covers his groin) AAAAAAH! (sinks down into the water) Chris: Ooooh. Hate to see that happen. Courtney: Excuse me, Chris. I have a medical condition. Chris: What condition? Courtney: A condition that prevents me from jumping off cliffs. Chris: You can chicken out of you want, but it might end up costing your team the win. And then they'll hate you. Courtney: It's a calculated risk. I've seen the other team, and I don't think nine of them will jump. (cuts to the Screaming Gophers, looking strange) Chris: All right... (puts chicken hat on Courtney, Courtney stares at it surprisingly)... here is your chicken hat. Let's tally up the results. That's eight jumpers and two chickens. We're missing one. Sadie: I'm not jumping without Katie! Katie: We have to be on the same team, Chris. Katie and Sadie: Please? Please? Can we? Can we, Chris? Can we? Can we? Izzy: I'll switch places with her. Chris: Alright, fine, you're both on the Killer Bass now. Izzy, you're on the Screaming Gophers. Katie and Sadie: Yes! Chris: That means you're up, girls. Katie and Sadie: We're coming, Killer Bass! (both jump) Aaaah! (both land in the safe zone) Chris: Alright, that's nine jumpers and two chickens.


 * Leshawna: (after Heather refuses to jump) Oh you're doing it! Heather: Says who?! Leshawna: Says me! I'm not losing this challenge cause you got your hair did, you spoiled little daddy's girl! Heather: Back off, ghetto-glamor, too-tight-pants-wearing, rap-star wannabe! Leshawna: Mall-shopping, ponytail-wearing, teen girl-reading, peeking in high school prom queen! Heather: Well, at least I'm popular. (Gwen looks shocked, Noah looks amused, Cody looks scared, Justin pulls out his mirror and admires himself) Leshawna: You're jumping. Heather: Make me. (Leshawna grabs Heather and throws her down) Heather: AAAAAAAAAH! (lands in the safe zone) Leshawna, you are so dead! Leshawna: Hey! I threw you into the safe zone, didn't I? (to herself) Now I just hope I can hit it, too. (jumps) AAAAAAAAAH! (lands in the safe zone, right next to Heather)


 * (Lindsay is standing over the cliff dive) Lindsay: I thought this was going to be a talent contest! Chris: Ha ha ha ha, yeah, ha ha... (turns serious) No. (Lindsay is pushed down) Lindsay: AHHHHHHHHH! (Gwen follows looking terrified) Gwen: NOOOOOOOOOO! (Cody is next, flailing like a beached flounder) Cody: WAHHHHHHHHH! (Izzy follows, laughing crazily like a witch, and falling like a sky-diver, obviously enjoying herself) Izzy: WAAA HA HA HA HA HA, YEAH! HA HA!


 * Chris: All right, campers. There's only one jumper left. You need this jump for the win. No pressure, dude. (Owen has a smile on his face) Okay, there's pressure. (turns it into a frown) (The Screaming Gophers are cheering for him to jump) Heather: Just, jump, just do it, Owen! Do it! Owen: (puts floaties on his arms) Oh, I was pretty darn nervous. (in the confession stall) See, the thing is, I'm not that strong a swimmer. Geoff: (in the confession stall about Owen) I'm looking at this guy and thinking, "There's no way he's gonna make it." Gwen: (in the confessional stall about Owen) I actually thought, "If he jumps this... he's gonna die." Chris: Give it your best jump, buddy. You can do it. Owen: I'm going to die now. I'm going to freaking die now! Leshawna: Come on, big guy. Owen: (closes his eyes tightly, then opens them and takes a running start) YAAAAAAAHHHH!!! (jumps off the cliff) Oh, CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! (he lands, making an enormous splash, he scatters the people everywhere) Owen: Yeah! Yeah! Who's the man? Beth: Whoo-hoo! (Lindsay sits up, smiling) Leshawna: Yes! Chris: The winners; The Screaming Gophers! Trent: That was awesome, dude! (Owen has a frown on his face) What's wrong? Owen: I think I lost my bathing suit. (All of the campers murmur in disgust) 


 * Screaming Gophers: (shown pulling crates and singing) 49 bottles of pop on the wall, 49 bottles of pop, if one of those bottles should happen to fall, 48 bottles of pop on the wall!


 * Heather: Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer. Lindsay: Oh... I'm your friend, right? Heather: Oh, yeah. For now.


 * Courtney: Their butts itch. Chris: (After seeing Courtney's eye) Gah! Oh my boxers! That's bad!


 * Chris (after the Killer Bass lose the hot tub building challenge): Killer Bass, what can I say? Sucks to be you right now.


 * Lindsay: We won, we all get to stay here for another three days! Beth, Lindsay, and Heather: (Cheering) Owen: (appears naked) Whoooooooooooooooooo! Ha ha ha! Yes! (starts singing) We get to stay-ay, we get to stay-ay, we are so awesome (hugs Heather and Lindsay), we won the contest!


 * (Trying to decide who to vote off) Courtney: What about him? (points to Tyler) Lindsay: (stands up) NOOOOOOOOO! (everyone looks at Lindsay) Lindsay: No...salt. There's no salt on the table...bummer. Duncan: (about Tyler) Hey, hey. At least he jump off the cliff, chicken wing. Courtney: (to Duncan, angrily) Shut up! Ezekiel: I just don't get why we lost, eh? They're the ones with six girls.


 * Gwen: (In Confession Cam) Yeah, this camp pretty much still sucks. But now that I'm here, I guess I might as well win.


 * Chris: The first marshmallow goes to Geoff.


 * Cody: To the Screaming Gophers. Trent, Lindsay, Heather, and Justin: The Screaming Gophers, woooo hoooo! Leshawna: (cheering) Go Gophers! Go Gophers! (Owen and Noah join her) Leshawna, Owen, and Noah: Go Gophers! Go Gophers! Go, go! Go Gophers!


 * Courtney: (to the camera) Are you recording this? (the cameraman zooms in on Courtney) Good. They can enjoy their little party all they want, but I'm going to win this competition and no one is going to stop me.

Trivia

 * Geoff receives the first ever marshmallow in the series during this episode.
 * Courtney becomes the first ever player (and female) to get a final symbol of safety in the series during this episode.
 * Geoff is the only member of the Killer Bass to use the confessional in this episode.
 * Of those who jumped off of the cliff, Justin is the only one who landed outside the safe zone.
 * Izzy's swimsuit actually looks very similar to her regular outfit. This is because her normal outfit is in fact a swimsuit, hence the sarong and sandals.
 * Duncan, Geoff, and DJ all wear bathing suits that look just like their regular pants.
 * Only three campers chickened out of the challenge: DJ, Courtney, and Beth.
 * Before jumping, Lindsay says she thought the show was supposed to be a talent contest which mirrors what her Camp TV persona said during the promo.
 * The swimsuit that Beth wears is similar to the uniforms worn on Star Trek.
 * In Total Drama Action, a challenge similar to the cliff jumping challenge is used in 3:10 to Crazytown, but the contestants jump onto a horse, and the fall is only 100 feet.
 * The first person to go off the cliff for both teams was a female; Bridgette for the Killer Bass and Heather for the Screaming Gophers.

Goofs

 * At the beginning where it shows everyone on top of the cliff, Courtney is missing from her team.
 * It can be seen near the beginning that Owen is missing both of his ears.
 * Noah was never seen actually jumping the cliff, but it is shown that he did jump, as he is later seen in the water with Trent inside the safe zone shortly after Trent's jump. It is possible, however, that he jumped while Cody and Leshawna were making fun of Beth.
 * During the diving challenge, when campers are in the confessional, they are in their swimsuits. However, when Owen is about to dive, Geoff appears in his usual outfit instead of his swimsuit.
 * When Chris is explaining the Bonfire Ceremony, Tyler is not present, but later he is called to claim his marshmallow.
 * There are several goofs in the scene right after Owen's climactic jump.
 * After he jumps, Duncan has two wristbands on.
 * Right after he jumps, the resulting tidal waves wash up onto the nearby beach, the camera pans over the destruction caused by it. All of the other campers are seen washed up on the beach, along with the overturned Boat of Losers, Chef Hatchet, and a shark. Despite almost everyone appearing in this shot, Tyler is nowhere to be seen. However, it can be assumed that the wave knocked him completely out of the area, maybe blowing him right up into a tree, as one of the sharks was seen to have this happen to them on-camera or he could be behind the Boat of Losers.
 * As it shows the destruction caused by Owen's jump, we see Trent and the overturned Boat of Losers washed up on the beach as well. However, when Trent asks Owen what's wrong, Trent is seen on the Boat, which appears to still be in the water.
 * As the camera pans over the various campers washed up on the beach, Beth and DJ both have their chicken hats, but Courtney does not have hers on, though she is seen wearing it later.
 * Everyone is seen to have been knocked away from the shore line when the wave comes by but when they are all shown, they are back by the shore line.
 * Even though Noah is on the Screaming Gophers, he can be seen washed up near the Killer Bass.
 * When Chris tallies the jumpers for the Killer Bass after Courtney refuses to jump, he counts eight jumpers and two chickens. Chris also says that the Bass are missing one camper. At that point, only seven had jumped (Bridgette, Tyler, Geoff, Eva, Duncan, Ezekiel, and Harold), two chickened out (DJ and Courtney), and two were left (Sadie and Izzy). After Katie and Sadie both jump, he counts it correctly as nine.
 * After Ezekiel made his sexist comments, Noah and Cody were shown to be sitting at the Killer Bass table, along with Harold, slowly backing away from the shocked Katie and Sadie. However, they are on the Screaming Gophers and should not have been at the Killer Bass' table.
 * Chris says that whichever team won the hot tub challenge would be able to use it all summer, but the only time the hot tub again is ever seen again is in The Sucky Outdoors.
 * When Katie and Sadie realize they have squatted in poison ivy, Katie's hair under her ear is missing.
 * Beth and Izzy were not shown at the hot tub party at the end of this episode, even though they are both Screaming Gophers.
 * When Duncan claims that DJ should stay over Courtney, his nose piercing is missing.
 * When the Gophers are building the hot tub, they are at the campgrounds. However, when they are putting the water in the hot tub, it is at the beach. Then, when Chris is judging the hot tub, it is at the campgrounds again.
 * There are also several goofs during the final scene at the Bonfire.
 * When Chris explains that the campers are never allowed back after elimination, Ezekiel's left hand can be seen, making it appear that he's floating above his seat.
 * With the exception of the very first shot of the scene (in which all of the Bass girls are staring down Ezekiel), Eva completely disappears from the Bonfire Ceremony. Her name was never actually called, nor was she actually seen receiving a marshmallow. She was also not seen in the final group shot with the rest of her teammates and their marshmallows after Ezekiel walked down the Dock of Shame. The same could be said for Courtney, who was also not seen in this final group shot.
 * At one point while Chris explains the elimination process, he directs the Bass' attention to the Boat of Losers, already sitting at the end of the Dock of Shame and ready to pick up the first eliminated camper. Yet when Ezekiel reaches the end of the Dock after being eliminated, the Boat of Losers pulls up next to the Dock as if it was never there in the first place.
 * While Chris was taking his time calling the last Bass member's name, Courtney drops her marshmallow stick. When Chris calls her name, she runs up to him without the stick in hand; Yet when she accepts the marshmallow, the stick is suddenly back in her hand.
 * Beth didn't jump, so she had to wear the chicken hat, but when Chris tells them that the Gophers won, Beth is seen without her chicken hat on.
 * When Owen falls off the cliff again in The Big Sleep and in Paintball Deer Hunter, the splashes weren't nearly as high as they were in this instance.
 * When Leshawna and Cody tell Justin to paddle, Gwen's hair is wet; however, when Leshawna and Cody mock Beth for refusing to jump, Gwen's hair is dry.
 * Noah is seen helping Izzy and Trent rebuild one of the crates, but when the Killer Bass arrive, he disappears.
 * Also during this scene, his chest is out of proportion.
 * In the recap, Chris states that the campers have signed up to spend 8 weeks at Camp Wawanakwa, however some campers have suggested in later confessionals that they've been there for longer.
