Quotes
Courtney: If I didn't know any better, I would think that Heather liked him! Gwen: Ew. That's like the grinch having a crush on someone. Courtney: I know, yuck! Think of her dried up, black little heart thawing out, lighting up with love- Heather: Ow! I am not in love! I am thinking about our team! Noah: It's like asking a girl out, only she's a guy. Owen: Oh, okay! (to DJ) Hey, DJ! Hey, you wanna go for hot dogs with my buddy Noah? He says your legs are nice. (wolf whistles) Noah: (sarcastically) Yeah, 'cause that's exactly what I told him to say. Heather: Okay, any objections? Gwen: Courtney's bossing us around and you don't have one?! Heather: Only to losing! Heather: More like a B-I-T-C- (is cut off) Gwen: Guys, let's get going. Cody: Please, can we stop this story now? Sierra: I ended up picking thorns out of my tissue for like, a week. Because I jumped out the window. To get on the horse. And I landed on a rosebush.
 * Gwen: Unless she's turned into Izzy and is looking for elves, it probably has something to do with Alejandro.
 * Owen: I don't know what to say to him...I've always been the allianc-ee, not the alliance-er.
 * Sierra: Why are we landing in the middle of the ocean? (Plane rises) Oh, no we're not. (plane lowers) Why are we landing in the middle of the-? (Plane rises) Oh, no we're not.
 * Heather: (in confessional) Oh, he is good! (sighs lovingly; static) I want the tape! Give me the tape!! How do you open this thing?!
 * Courtney: If we swim in a V formation, like geese, we'll be faster!
 * Gwen: (in confessional) You Know, Heather really shouldn't let her obvious crush on Alejandro get her away from the game. Having a relationship with Duncan really screwed things up for me last season - Trent! I meant Trent! Just a slip of the tongue... (static) I want that tape back! Give me the tape!! How do you open this thing?!
 * Courtney: I am a CIT!
 * Sierra: This one time I saw Cody riding a white horse outside my bedroom window! And this was before I even knew him.
 * Noah: (in confessional) No wonder my little cousins aren't allowed to watch this show!
 * Owen: (in confessional) Noah's auntie is right to block this show, it's way out of control!
 * Alejandro: Heather thinks she's clever, but it's all about waiting for the right opportunity.
 * Courtney: (in confessional) Okay, fine, so, I did let a guy get in the way of how I played the game. I really can't stop thinking about how Duncan could just, abandon me like this, and, I... I messed up. Did I just say that on air? (static) I want that tape back! Give me the tape! Oof! How do you open this thing?!
