Little Bull on the Prairie

'''The nine teams return to Canada for a Wild West-themed showdown, forcing down a potful of pork and beans and having to survive a mechanical bull. While one competitor faces their worst culinary fear, another has a hard time in dealing with a long ride. Meanwhile, and two competitors continue to have troubles getting over their own heartbreak. An embarrassed competitor manages to reconcile with his son after improving their aptitude. However, this leads to their elimination, but they depart with a strengthened emotional bond.'''

Plot
The teams' next destination is a dude ranch in Alberta, Canada. Carrie discovers Devin has moved on from anger to the next stage of heartbreak; desperation, which makes him believe that Shelley will date him again if he wins the game. As the teams hail taxis to go to the airport, Dwayne and Junior fall behind, due to Dwayne getting ridiculed for having a woman's tattoo. Meanwhile, Noah is still in shock and in a catatonic state over Emma dumping him, resulting in Owen carrying him throughout the episode.

On the second flight, Dwayne and Junior watch Total Drama: Pahkitew Island, where Dwayne inadvertently jinxes them, causing their flight to be delayed. Once in Alberta, teams have to drive pick-up trucks to their destination. The Ice Dancers try to sabotage the Cadets, but MacArthur runs both teams off the road, allowing the Surfer Dudes to arrive at the ranch first. Meanwhile, Owen’s poor driving skills results in him crashing into several animals.

The next challenge is an All-In, where contestants will have to eat an entire pot of pork and beans to retrieve the tip at the bottom. Stephanie has trouble consuming the beans, refusing to eat them since they disgust her. Geoff and Brody both finish their pot first and move onto the next challenge, which is a Botch or Watch where the person not holding the tip will have to ride a mechanical bull for eight seconds. Brody continuously struggles with the challenge, unable to hold on for the allotted time.

Meanwhile the rest of the teams finally reach the ranch and start the challenge. As the other teams eat, Emma notices Noah’s state of despair, feeling guilty over the break-up. Stephanie is still unable to eat a single spoonful of beans, but Ryan manages to successfully motivate her by calling her a loser and using reverse psychology, making her believe that she couldn't do it. MacArthur selfishly hogs the pork and beans, despite the fact that both members have to eat or risk penalization. Sanders manages to trick MacArthur into looking away in order to get a spoonful of beans from the pot, impressing her. Soon, the Surfer Dudes lose their lead due to Brody’s failure on the bull, allowing the Goths to forge ahead. Geoff gives Brody his hat, giving him enough confidence to finish the challenge and place first at the Chill Zone. Carrie and Devin place third and Devin is demoralized due to not getting first but Carrie is able to cheer him up. Despite being the first to ride the mechanical bull, the Goths place fourth after stopping to look at a rotting skull.

More teams complete the bull-riding challenge, and soon Father and Son and the Reality TV Pros are the last ones remaining. Dwayne is upset about letting his son down, but Junior gives him a pep talk that allows his dad to ride the bull successfully. The final two teams race for the Chill Zone, and Owen and Noah place eighth, sparing them from elimination. Emma comes over and apologizes to Noah, snapping him out of his depressed state. She proceeds to say that she still has feelings for him and wants them to be together, but she can't focus on romance during the competition so their relationship will have to wait until after her and Kitty win. Noah and Owen wonder if this means Emma will not date him if they win the million. Owen comments on how cold that sounds but Noah's feelings are rekindled by her snarky attitude. Dwayne and Junior are the last team to arrive at the Chill Zone, but believe it’s a non-elimination round before being corrected by Don. As they leave, Junior expresses pride in his father and thanks him for everything, also hugging him. The two embrace before walking off into the sunset to marathon the rest of Pahkitew Island, having strengthened their emotional bond.
