Everyone and Shawn

This article focuses on the interaction between Everyone and Shawn.

Overview
While Shawn is generally quite nice to others, his paranoia makes him easily suspicious of others, as shown how he refuses to sleep near his team out of fear they would turn into zombies while he's asleep. However his survival skills have also proven to be quite resourceful to his team, and they come to respect him over time. Early on his fear of the undead caused him to be extremely cowardly, and he would abandon all of his friends without a second's hesitation. This changes after his cowardice costs him his relationship with Jasmine, which lets him learn that there is more to life than ensuring his own survival against the zombie apocalypse. Following this incident he becomes more selfless and will be more willing to protect others from danger in addition to himself.

Amy
In A Blast from the Past, Shawn sees Amy emerge from the lake covered in vegetation, and becomes terrified due to mistaking her for a zombie.

Chef Hatchet
In A Blast from the Past, after Shawn sees Amy covered in vegetation emerge from the lake and believes a zombie apocalypse has happened, and goes to hide on the island, believing the rest of the contestants will be turned into zombies. After noticing his absence in the challenge Chris sends Chef to hunt for Shawn. Eventually Chef runs into Shawn and growls, which leads Shawn to believe he is a zombie and runs. However Chef catches up to him and grabs him. Chef then comments on Shawn's stench (as Shawn had made himself disgusting in order to pose as a zombie). Upon hearing Chef speak English, Shawn realizes he isn't a zombie and tries to warn him of the zombie apocalypse. He tells Chef that they could hide behind the waterfall he found, but when he looks back it has disappeared. Chef dismisses it as Shawn "hallucinating from the stink" before tossing him into the back of his jeep. He later throws Shawn harshly onto the dock.

Chris
In the opening sequence, when Jasmine and Shawn are gazing at eachother, Chris interrupts their moment, by coming between them while wearing a zombie mask, which scares Shawn away.

In I Love You, I Love You Knots, Chris compliments Shawn's ability to blow boogers, but then mocks him by pointing out he didn't complete the challenge correctly so still shocks him and his team.

In A Blast from the Past, after everyone (especially Jasmine) notices Shawn is not present, Chris speculates he may have gotten lost on the crazy island. Chris also gleefully announces that if Shawn didn't show up before the challenge ends he would automatically be eliminated, and it would cost his team the win. After Chef brings Shawn back, Chris continues to commentate on the game, but Shawn angrily calls Chris a "crazy man", and states it wasn't a game, but "a matter of life and death", as he believed the island had fallen to a zombie apocalypse.

In Scarlett Fever, Shawn along with the rest of the competitors are unhappy with Chris lying to them about the island and leaving them to die. When the competitors are attacked by some Chris robots, Jasmine comments that they were like zombies, which causes Shawn to turn to combat mode and beats up all of them up. Chris is also unhappy when he finds out Shawn destroyed all his promo-bots.

In Pahk'd With Talent, Chris loves Shawn's talent of armpit farting a musical piece, and cries before giving a top score of 9. In Lies, Cries and One Big Prize, when Chris states they didn't get to choose, Shawn protests by saying he asked them who they wanted, but Chris answers by saying: "I asked you who you wanted, I did that to be mean." When tossing the coin, Chris hits Shawn in the eye so allows him to choose first. When Chris tells Shawn that he could split the money with Jasmine if he wanted (to Shawn's dismay), Chris enthusiastically asks him "Isn't it great Shawn?". Afterwards Chris shows Jasmine clips of Shawn's confessional, where he badmouths her idea of how she wishes to spend her winnings.

Dave
Although Dave initially viewed Shawn to be weird like the rest of his team, while Shawn refused to get too close to others in case he become a zombies. However the two of them generally get along well. After a while, Shawn notices that his friend slowly began to lose his mind trying to win Sky's heart and does all he can to make sure Dave doesn't go insane, but has little success. Eventually, Dave loses his sanity after being rejected by Sky and finding out that she already has a boyfriend which also ruin his friendship with Shawn as seen in the finale.

Ella
In the opening sequence, after Ella is pushed off the cliff by Sugar, but is then saved by the birds and drifts to the ground, Shawn is seen perched in a tree looking through binoculars, but then stares in confusion as Ella passes by.

In Twinning Isn't Everything, Ella is grateful for Shawn for bringing them so much fruit, and she shows her gratitude by singing a song, but she is stopped halfway by Sugar who shoves a pear in her mouth. Shawn then politely suggests that Ella go sing for the Pimapotew Kinosewak as a sign of friendship, to which Ella loves the idea.

In I Love You, I Love You Knots, Shawn accidentally blows boogers on his whole team (when he was only aiming for Dave). As Shawn didn't do the challenge properly Chris electrocutes their team, but Ella happily states that at least it fried the boogers off. Later Shawn (and Dave) restrain Sugar when she tries to attack Ella.

In Mo Monkey Mo Problems, Shawn runs into Ella looking for Sky (as the Dave had prepared a romantic picnic for her). However Ella who had become attracted to Dave, was also looking for him and asks Shawn about his whereabouts. Shawn tells her Dave's location, and that he was waiting for his love, but doesn't specify who he was waiting for. Which leads Ella to misunderstand that Dave was waiting for her.

Jasmine
Despite being on different teams, Jasmine and Shawn share quite a few interactions early on. The two of them are able to quickly bond during their early morning foraging expeditions, as they are both expert survivalists. It is during this time that Jasmine begins to feel attracted to Shawn. He reciprocates these feelings, however, he is scared about pursuing the relationship. Shawn's reasoning for this is out of fear that should Jasmine turn into a zombie, he will be unable to kill her because he cares about her too much.

In A Blast from the Past, during the challenge, Dave tricks Shawn into believing Team Kinosewak has all turned into zombies. This results in him reluctantly slamming her with his jousting stick, shattering the friendship from Jasmine's side. Shawn makes numerous unsuccessful attempts to restore it in the next few episodes. In Hurl and Go Seek, he comes face-to-face with his fear again and decides to learn from his mistake. Shawn sacrifices himself to save Jasmine, regaining her trust, which she solidifies by kissing his cheek.

In Scarlett Fever, the two share their first kiss and Jasmine follows it up by officially referring to Shawn as her boyfriend.

Leonard
In So, Uh This Is My Team?, Shawn along with most of the team supports Leonard's idea to build a Wizard's tower and cheers for him.

In I Love You, Grease Pig, Leonard is impressed by Shawn's ability to forage for food and states he would make a great "kitchen wizard". Shawn unsure of what to make of this awkwardly thanks him.

In Lies, Cries and One Big Prize, Shawn lists off all the competitors in order based on physical ability, he states he would be fine with anyone other than Leonard.

Max
In Twinning Isn't Everything, Shawn mans the slingshot and fires two paint-filled balloons at Max and Scarlett, which hits them and covers them in paint. This angers Max and leads him to shout "Revenge!" When Dave tells him someone bursts Sky's balloons, Shawn states he doubted it was Max. In Scarlett Fever, Shawn appears amused when Max taunts Chris whilst holding up his head, however he is surprised when Max gets electrocuted.

Rodney
In So, Uh This Is My Team?, while on the zeppelin Rodney overhears Scarlett's explanation of the velocity and comments to Shawn that Scarlett had some "serious brains", but when Shawn hears the word brains he immediately becomes paranoid and shields his own brain in fear.

Samey
In I Love You, Grease Pig!, whilst Jasmine and Samey were foraging for food and Jasmine stops Amy from eating a poisonous apple. Shawn overhears this and explains to Samey that the apple was deadly and gives her advice on how to treat the blisters she got as a result.

In Twinning Isn't Everything, Shawn once again approaches Jasmine and Samey. He and Jasmine begin to flirt so Samey leaves them in private.

In I Love You, I Love You Knots, when Jasmine and Samey (pretending to be Amy) approach Shawn and Dave on their daily morning forage for food, Jasmine offers for the boys to join them, however a nervous Shawn bolts and drags Dave along with him. Samey then looks at Jasmine and states she thinks it was a "no".

Scarlett
In Twinning Isn't Everything, Shawn mans the slingshot and fires two paint-filled balloons at Max and Scarlett, which hits them and covers them in paint.

In Scarlett Fever, Shawn helps the other contestants defeat Scarlett when she takes over control of the island, by decimating an army of Chris robots she activates. He also praises Sugar when she subdues Scarlett.

Sky
Shawn and Sky get along quite well, as they're both natural born leaders, and will often cooperate in holding the team together. Near the end of the season, the two of them developed a competitive rivalry as they became the final two of the season. Despite the outcome in the finale, the two of them depart the season on friendly terms.

Sugar
Shawn and Sugar were placed on the same team, where they initially showed no hostility to one another. Sugar appeared to respect Shawn's leadership and Shawn was mostly nice to her, albeit he was sometimes annoyed by her disgusting habits. However there were hints that Shawn disliked her, such as in This Is The Pits!, where Shawn states he would rather have his brains eaten by a zombie than form an alliance with Sugar.

Topher
In I Love You, Grease Pig!, during the challenge, after Topher witnesses Shawn falling off the cliff, he smugly states that he has learnt from Shawn's mistake. In Three Zones and A Baby, Topher provides commentary on Shawn's failure to woo Jasmine.

Zombies
Shawn has a severe fear of zombies, and has made it his lifelong mission to prepare for the impending apocalypse, and stop his brain from getting devoured by the undead. Over the course of the series his response to "zombie" encounters has varied from him fleeing in terror, to fiercely fighting them. While Shawn has never had a true zombie encounter before, he has tendency to mistake other people or creatures for zombies, and will act in accordance to his beliefs.

In the opening sequence Shawn is gazing at Jasmine, however Chris comes between them wearing a zombie mask, and he flees in terror.

In A Blast from the Past, Shawn witnesses Amy emerge from the lake, covered in muck and vegetation, and mistakes her for a zombie. He spends the rest of the episode hiding on the island. Later on when Chef goes to hunt for him he mistakes Chef for a zombie and tries to flee, before being apprehended and taken back to the challenge. He is also tricked by Dave into believing Jasmine is a zombie, leading him to brutally hit her using a jousting stick, which causes a strain on their relationship.

In Sky Fall, Shawn and Jasmine are attacked by crocodile robots sent by Chris. Shawn once again compares them to zombies and becomes frozen in fear. However Jasmine manages to revive him to his sense by kissing him. Later on he encounters the robot crocodiles again when he's at the top of the mountain, where they have activated rocket in their feet making them capable of flight. Shawn manages to evade several crocodiles and grab the flag (the objective of the challenge), but he lands into the mouth of the final crocodile and gets eaten. However the crocodile then begins to malfunction and starts to dance, before sparking and exploding. This is due to the fact that Shawn had busted out of the robot from the inside, destroying it in the process.
