Yep. It's pretty much settled. This IS the most shocking episode in Total Drama history. I mean, just think about it!

1. The Sisters, in the heat of the moment, saved by a non-elimination (phew!) <-- And this is the smallest of the shocks. 2. The Best Friends being eliminated via medical evacuation. 3. The Best Friends being eliminated PERIOD, and not making the finale which, as you said, was pretty much what we ALL expected. 4. The Surfers returning.

And all this right after the previous episode, in my mind at least, also thoroughly shocked us by booting the Daters - ANOTHER team that we all thought was likely to make the finale at that point. This season just NEVER stops the shocks. And I'm loving every second of it. They're taking all forms of audience expectations, based on cliches and past seasons, and chucking them into the nearest meat grinder. Priceless perfection.
