Up the Creek

'''The two teams take canoes to a nearby island and build rescue fires on it in this week's contest. Another contestant is voted off the island.'''

Recap
The episode starts with Chris explaining the challenge to both teams, except Beth who we learn was in the bathroom just before the camper prepared to leave. Chris explains how Boney Island, the destination, has a curse in which anyone who removes an item from the island will be cursed...FOREVER!!! We also see the evolution of the Trent and Gwen relationship, as Cody sacrifices Cody-Gwen Relationship to help Trent. The campers paddle out, and it is shown that Bridgette does not feel the same as Geoff when it comes to a relationship, and that DJ invented the "Wedgie Flop" and is afraid of water. Cody continues to hit on Gwen, only to get hit in the balls twice...and as they pull into Boney Island, fog fills the air.

All of the campers arrive alive, and begin to run through the wilderness together. Heather does not help Owen at all during the challenge, and seemed quite angry when they got stuck in the same canoe.

During the run, they meet woolly beavers that eat meat, causing the campers to flee into a mini-swamp. Owen ruins his underwear, and in the midst of asking for a spare, he farts, awaking giant birds. Cody, during the run, pulls out a loaf of bread (still in the package) from his pants, claiming that he planned to give Gwen and himself a romantic picnic. Cody chucks the bread back, distracting the birds, saving everyone.

As the Bass take the lead, they come to a crossroads, and Courtney wants to go left, but Geoff says to go right, which Bridgette agrees with, making Geoff look back and smile, provoking Bridgette to ask what he's looking at. Earlier, DJ tried to help Geoff understand that he's working towards Bridgette's affection the wrong way, as he had given her a gift that Geoff thought was great, but Bridgette and Courtney gagged at.

The Gophers decided to take the left path, and Trent falls into quicksand, which we learn two things: Trent has no idea what quicksand looks like, and that Chris set up the trap, but didn't expect anyone to fall for it. Lindsay, being an idiot, decides to dive in to save Trent...getting stuck as well.

Meanwhile, Cody and Gwen drop their canoe and Cody swings on a rope to grab Trent's hand...but misses Trent and slams into a tree. Trent manages to catch the rope and pulls Lindsay and himself out. Lindsay and Trent thank an obviously shaken Cody, and Lindsay hugs Cody. Cody claims to have seen a whole bunch of movies.

Back to the Bass, Geoff suddenly goes down...with a leg injury. The camera moves around trying to figure out what is wrong with Geoff's leg, and later on, we find out that a small...microscopic sliver was in his leg. As the Bass catch the Gophers back at the otherside, they try to make a fire. While the Gophers are failing, the Bass are quick to make a fire. Heather asks them how they did it, and Duncan makes his only true appearance, by bringing a lighter, which Chris in a helicopter says isn't breaking any rules...saying that the edge goes to the Bass. Finally the Gophers get a fire and are looking for more wood to keep it alive, Beth notices an idol on the island, and having been in the bathroom during Chris' speech about taking anything from Boney Island will leave you cursed, pockets the idol.

However the Bass are also out of wood, DJ says that they need more, and Harold freaks out, throwing the wooden paddles into the fire, provoking the Bass to yell at him. Meanwhile, Izzy makes a freaky fire-starter, and chucks it into their meager fire, creating an inferno. Chris declares the Gophers the winners, which means that the final part is to paddle back to their camps. The Bass have no paddles, and Izzy mentions that the Bass could push their canoes by having someone swim and push the canoes. Bridgette claims that DJ is the only one that is strong enough, making Geoff claim that he could do it since DJ can't swim. But Bridgette claims that Geoff's injury is too "severe" and DJ finally gathers the courage to push all of the canoes, and they manage to beat the Gophers, and fling themselves over a bunch of rocks onto the campsite in the process. LeShawna takes a paddle and Izzy realizes that LeShawna wants to hit her, making Izzy run.

The campfire ceremony goes as such: Beth, Trent, Gwen, Cody, LeShawna, and Heather get their marshmallows, leaving Lindsay, who is twirling her hair, and Izzy without marshmallows. As Chris prepares to give out the last marshmallow, the RCMP's (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) fly overhead, shining a spotlight on Izzy, claiming that she is under arrest for crimes that she had described earlier during the first canoe ride. Izzy jumps up, and screams "You'll never take me ALIVE!!!! AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!" and runs off into the woods, making Chris end the ceremony, claiming that that takes care of that, and as the Gophers look on in shock, Chris says good night. The episode ends with Beth reading a book in her bunk with the tiki idol resting beside her.

Quotes

 * Chris: Legend has it, that if you take anything off of the island, (dramatic voice) you'll be cursed forever! Owen: Yeah, a cursed island! Yeah! Whoo!


 * Gwen: (in the Confessional Stall) Cody? He's like an annoying brother. A really annoying little brother. (camera cuts to Cody making air guitar noises in the Confessional, then cuts back to Gwen) Gwen: So much for hooking up with Trent.


 * Izzy: Just follow my technique. I'm one eighty-seventh Cherokee, you know, which means the tribe could, like, claim me at anytime! LeShawna: Let's hope it's today.


 * DJ: When I was eight, my brothers dared to jump off the high dive platform at the pool. I was scared, but I jumped, wasn't gonna let them call me chicken. I landed on my butt. Sounds better than a belly flop right? Wrong. My trunks went so far up my butt, I had to go to the hospital to get them removed. They invented a new word for what I did. The wedgie flop.


 * Owen: When this canoe comes a-rockin, don't come a-knockin baby! (Heather hits him with her paddle) Ow, that smarts!


 * Chris: On your marks, get set, (Shoots a starter pistol into the sky) paddle! (an eagle falls down from the sky) That's gonna provoke some angry emails.


 * LeShawna: Isn't killing a koala bear...illegal? Izzy: Oh, probably yeah...ahahahahaha...


 * Geoff: (to DJ) Can I ask you something, dude? I gave Bridgette an awesome gift this morning but she's been sending me some weird vibes. (On the other canoe with Courtney) Bridgette: Oh my gosh, Courtney, it was so bad. I came back from brushing my teeth and I notice something bulging under my covers. When I lifted them, there it was. Courtney: No! Bridgette: Yes! Geoff: I made it in arts and crafts. DJ: No, you didn't! Geoff: I did!


 * DJ: You drop a homemade, heart-shaped clay bowl on a bunny, the bunny's gunna run dude. Geoff: So, I messed up? DJ: You messed up, dude.


 * Cody: I have a bit of trouble myself. Gwen: What do you mean? Cody: I bet Owen that if I got your bra, he'd do all my dishes for the rest of the competition. (Gwen hits him in the private parts with her paddle) Okay, asking too much. Got it.


 * (as the campers are chased by the monster birds) Gwen: Someone do something! Cody: Oh wait, (looks through his pants) Look! (pulls out a loaf of bread) Gwen: Where'd that come from? Cody: Oh, I, uhh, was going to make us a romantic lunch. Gwen: With bread from your pants?!


 * Izzy: The race isn't over yet! We still gotta burn stuff!


 * Trent: (in the confessional) How am I suppose to know what quicksand looks like? It looks just like sand. Chris: Hehehe... can you believe they fell for it? Hehehe I set it up but I didn't think anyone will fall into it. That's just great.


 * Lindsay: Oh no, Trent's stuck. I'm coming, Trent! Trent: No, don't! (Lindsay jumps in) Lindsay: (gasps) I'm stuck, too. I so didn't see that coming.


 * Geoff: Go on...without me. (Courtney starts to walk away, but DJ grabs her) DJ: Hold on. We're not leaving any man behind. Not on my watch.


 * Cody: I struck out with Gwen a lot today. My point is, she's not into me, she's into you. Trent: If you're lying, I could easily rearrange your face.


 * DJ: Bridgette, you got first aid training, right? Maybe you could take a look at Geoff's wounds. He could have Gangrene! Geoff: Or Jungle Rot! DJ: Or Athlete's Foot!


 * LeShawna: You cost us the game! You are gonna pay. Izzy: Okay, you are so lucky my license to kill is expired.


 * RCMP Officer: (from a helicopter) IZZY! We know you are down there! You are under arrest! (a searchlight tries to spot Izzy)
 * LeShawna: You mean all that trash you were talkin' was true?! Izzy: No, just the RCMP part. See ya! (goes psycho, the helicopter's searchlight immediately focuses on her) YOU'LL NEVER GET ME ALIVE!!! (laughs crazily and creepily like a witch, and runs off, with the RCMP in hot pursuit) 


 * (glass breaks) Bridgette: (sighs) Have any glue? Courtney: Haha! I wouldn't waste my time trying to fix that. Bridgette: Maybe I would.

Cast

Trivia

 * This episode centers around Cody,Gwen,Geoff,andDJ


 * Goofs: When Owen goes to Heather, he in his swimsuit. However, in the next shot, he's in his clothes. He also is wearing water wings in the close up however they are gone when the camera zooms out (if you keep your eye on them, you can actually see them disappear).


 * When DJ and Geoff are walking to their canoe, DJ's shirt is off. However, in the next shot, his shirt is back on.


 * Goof: When the campers are listening to Chris at the beginning, Gwen has bags under her eyes yet they disappear in the next scene.


 * Campers On Each Canoe
 * Screaming Gophers
 * Heather and Owen
 * Izzy and Leshawna
 * Gwen and Cody
 * Lindsay, Beth, andTrent
 * Killer Bass
 * Geoff and DJ
 * Bridgette and Courtney
 * Sadie, Duncan, and Harold


 * This marks the third loss for the Screaming Gophers.


 * Running gag: everybody treats Geoff as if he lost a leg when he only had a microscopic splinter.


 * Cody asks if Gwen wants to go out on the weekend, however they would've still been stuck on the island due to the contest still going on.


 * Goof: Cody swings across a pit of quick sand to try to save Trent (and hits a tree). However after they get out and he walks back, he walks right on top of the quicksand without sinking.


 * Even though Izzy later admits to be lying about it, it is technically impossible to be "1/87th" of anything. Only ratios of 1/2 or similar fractions (1/4, 3/8, 7/16, etc.,) are actually possible.


 * When Izzy is seen talking to LeShawna about killing a koala the symbol is the Killer Bass symbol instead of the Screaming Gophers is visible on the screen.


 * Cody makes a bet with Owen in this episode that if he could get his hands on Gwen's bra, Owen would do the dishes (however Cody is eliminated next episode).


 * Before the RCMP came, the final marshmallow was supposed to go to either Izzy or Lindsay.


 * Izzy might not have been eliminated, as Chris had not yet said whether she or Lindsay were safe before the RCMP showed up and Izzy ran away. He also looked shocked as though he hadn't expected them to show up.


 * Looking at the possible votes, Izzy may have not been eliminated as only LeShawna seemed mad about her giving the Killer Bass the idea that led them to victory (though she may have been the only one that knew). Heather may have voted for her to be eliminated as she seemed creeped out when Izzy said she was AWOL.  The other campers all wouldn't have voted for her as they seemed to applaud Izzy for winning them the fire part of the challenge.  Lindsay on the other hand did nothing but screw up on the island (such as getting herself stuck in quicksand).  So Izzy may have not been eliminated (unless LeShawna told the other campers about what happened).


 * The campers in the confessional for this episode were Cody, Gwen, Geoff, DJ, Trent, and Bridgette.


 * Throughout the whole episode, Lindsay is seen wearing blue shorts instead of her skirt seeing during other episodes.


 * Water is the third thing that DJ says scares him. In past episodes, he says he's also scared of heights and snakes.


 * Izzy's audition: She's playing with a fire baton in her house and then the smoke alarm goes off, which sets off the sprinklers and she gets all wet. She then laughs and says she shouldn't do that indoors and screams "Sorry, Mom!!!"


 * The 3 Parts of the challenge:
 * 1) Go to Boney Island in canoes
 * 2) Run with your canoes across the island
 * 3) Start a fire and canoe back to Camp Wawanakwa


 * This is the first time something happens during a Campfire ceremony that Chris didn't plan, as he didn't expect the RCMP to arrest Izzy.
