Max and Scarlett

This article focuses on the interactions between Max and Scarlett.

Overview
As a self-proclaimed "evil genius", Max sees himself as the one with the brains and the skills to win, but most of his inventions and ideas turn out to be busts. However, when he is placed on Pimâpotew Kinosewak, he ends up encountering a true genius in the form of Scarlett, the redhead who hoped to use the show to help pay for her college education. Using her scientific knowledge, she works together with Max to help him succeed; but eventually grows to hate him due to his lack of respect for her and calling her a "sidekick", as opposed to the real brains of the duo. Ultimately Scarlett is revealed to not just be a genius but an evil genius, willing to sacrifice Max, the cast and the entire island just so she can get the million while turning her male counterpart into her minion in order to make sure he gets eliminated before she does, turning the tables on Max, as he was under the impression that she was his minion. Max ultimately turns against Scarlett due to her threats, as he teams up with his fellow contestants to foil her plans. Despite his accolades, Max ends up being eliminated along with Scarlett, as Scarlett left due to her plot and Max due to Chris growing tired of "evil contestants" on the show, probably due to his anger at Scarlett's plans.

Opening sequence
In the opening sequence, they are seen together as Max attempts to work his robot with the button, however, it malfunctions and shoots out water. Scarlett smirks at the camera as she pulls out an umbrella.

So, Uh This Is My Team?
While attempting to construct their team's shelter, Scarlett assists Max out of the junk pile while dodging the tennis balls on a cart. In response, Max claims that she is his minion and shows a higher status to his assistant. Their team ultimately wins the challenge.

I Love You, Grease Pig!
While walking to the challenge, Max tries to show Scarlett an evil invention he had created, but is cut off by Chris. Later, when the two are at their respective posts on the obstacle source, Scarlett asks Max curiously what he has created and Max explains that it is meant to turn the pig into an evil minion, to which Scarlett sarcastically replies that she has goosebumps. During the challenge, Max's machine doesn't seem to be of any use, until Scarlett easily repairs it for him, and they celebrate yet another victory for their team. When their team wins the challenge and Max refuses to cheer with the rest of them, Scarlett cheerfully tells him to cheer up since they won.

Twinning Isn't Everything
Max is seen digging through a pile of "evil inventions" when Scarlett walks over to ask him what he is doing. This startles Max, causing him to jump into a bush. When Max tells Scarlett of his invention to hit the other team with his balloon by attaching it to a long stick, Scarlett instead suggests that Max should find something to fire sharp objects at the other team's balloons, therefore using the other team's balloonsagainst them. Max then claims the idea for his own, to which Scarlett rolls her eyes. Max states in a confessional that Scarlett is "hopelessly in love" with him, although he decides to ignore it, saying "evil doesn't date". Later in the challenge, the two are walking through the forest and Max proclaims that as long as Scarlett is with him she will be safe, but the two are immediately hit with balloons fired by Shawn. Their team later lost the challenge, but both managed to be safe.

I Love You, I Love You Knots
When Max lied during the challenge his entire team got shocked, Scarlett and the rest of their team glared angrily at him.

A Blast from the Past
While walking to the challenge, Max is trying to come up with a new "evil" name for himself. Scarlett notices what he is doing, and she asks him about it. Max tells her that he has already created his catchphrase, but is having trouble deciding which name to pick. This causes Scarlett to ask him how he will decide, but Max scoffs at her, telling her that an evil name chooses you and not the other way around. During the challenge, after Topher and Samey have had their turns, Scarlett tells Max to go next, but he responds that he'd rather the bear eat the others first. Scarlett says that he'd be missing out on the chance to be "evil" and gives him the idea to electrify his baton by using his wire. When Max queries about how he would shock the other team but not himself, Scarlett explains that if he holds the baton by the rubber he won't get shocked. When Max runs at Ella with his baton, Scarlett uses another to throw him an electric eel, which Max uses to attack Ella. Scarlett seems satisfied when it works. Later, Max thanks Scarlett for her "minor" contribution to his invention of "supreme evil", to which Scarlett tries to tell him it was no problem. However, he interrupts and deems her his "sidekick", which causes Scarlett's eye to twitch. In the confessional, she is much more agitated than she was in Max's presence.

Mo Monkey Mo Problems
Max orders Scarlett to wake up and collect food for him. Scarlett then reveals in the confessional that he is beginning to annoy her. During the challenge, Scarlett tells Max to reveal his true evil side to Jasmine and Topher in order to earn their respect. Max admits in the confessional that Scarlett has had some good ideas recently and he gains some respect for her. When Scarlett is explaining how the team can get the golden coin from the monkey, she becomes annoyed that she has to use "small words" when talking to them as they, including Max, cannot understand her otherwise. Later, their team gets caught in a trap that Max set for Jasmine and Topher to become stuck in. Scarlett reveals in the confessional that she intended for Max not to get caught in the trap so that the other two would know that he made it and vote him off, and claims that it won't be easy getting him to admit the truth. But, to Scarlett's delight, Max then proudly claims responsibility for the trap. Scarlett tries to vote Max off with Jasmine and Topher, but Ella is eliminated instead due to singing, and Max stays.

This Is The Pits!
Scarlett continues to be annoyed at Max when he orders her to clean the ants of his bed, and wants him gone as soon as possible. She still becomes horrified when Max takes matters into his own hands by frying the ants with a magnifying glass. During the challenge, Max and Scarlett end up with each other due to Jasmine running off due to her claustrophobia and Topher going after her; the two continuously argue while going through their cave and Max continues to aggravate Scarlett. After Max throws Scarlett's remote control out of the elevator, Scarlett declares that she officially hates him. Ultimately Chris realizes the partnership was working too well and, due to no elimination for the entire cast ignoring his rules about the challenge, decides to split them apart, sending Max to the other team while giving Sky to Scarlett's team.

Three Zones and A Baby
While Scarlett is happy that Max is finally gone, Max tries to find a new evil sidekick by adopting a baby from the challenge.

Hurl and Go Seek
Now that the teams have merge, Scarlett decides the best option is to stick with Max, believing that his incompetence would end up leading to an easy elimination for him, thus protecting her. When she discovers a control panel hidden behind a tree revealing that Pahkitew Island is actually a fake island, she tries to figure out how it works, only for Max to vomit on top of it, thus preventing her from figuring it out completely.

Scarlett Fever
When the island starts going berserk due to their actions in the previous episode, they end up paired up again, this time with Scarlett in full control as she decides to get to the control room first in a gambit to get the million even at the risk of Pahkitew Island and all the campers. When they reach a security door, she decides to let Max play with it so it would ultimately short out while he gets shocked multiple times to her pleasure. After reaching the control room, Scarlett reveals her true nature to him, fearing him for realizing who the real evil genius of the duo was. After Scarlett betrays him, Max helps the others to stop her and not allow her to kill them. After the island is finally saved, Chris ends up eliminating both Scarlett and Max together due to being sick of "evil geniuses" ruining the show. Scarlett sees herself insulted in being forced to be fired from a cannon with Max in the end, begging to go with anyone but him.
