Who Can You Trust?

'''The two teams take part in a three part competition where they must put trust in their team mates. Two campers learn they can easily trust each other. But one contestant loses his pet and loses trust in his best friend. One reveals to have a soft side to another, and another contestant is voted off the island.'''

Recap
The campers eat breakfast at the main lodge with Heather still showing the effects of being locked in the freezer during the previous challenge and blaming Gwen for what happened to her. Duncan steals one of the mugs and Courtney chastises him for what he did.

Later, the teams assemble at the dock and Chris tells the campers that this week's challenge is centered around building trust with three challenges taking place with duos selected by Chris from each team taking part. The first challenge consists of a freehand climb up a cliff face with DJ and Duncan participating for the Bass and Heather and Gwen for the Gophers. Chris gives them their climbing gear and explains that one person climbs while the other controls the slack on the rope and the climbers will have to contend with rusty nails, oil slick, mild explosives, and some other surprises. Gwen and DJ put on the climbing gear with Gwen puzzled to see a second rope attached to her but Heather tells her its a back-up line. DJ extracts his bunny from his pocket and gives it to Geoff while he's doing the challenge. Gwen openly distrusts Heather and in a confessional, Heather vows revenge and humiliation with regard to Gwen. During the climb, Gwen falls back after an explosion but presses on. Moments later, Chris sprays Heather with hot sauce and Heather lets go of the rope to rub it out of her eyes and Gwen hits the ground as a result. Chris sprays Duncan as well, but this proves ineffective as Duncan is wearing sunglasses (to protect his eyes) and opens his mouth to swallow the hot sauce.

Gwen rejoins the climb and just after she passes DJ, Heather pulls the second rope attached to Gwen and the skirt covering Gwen's behind is torn away. The skirt lands on DJ's face and when DJ sees her half naked he gets embarrassed. Despite this, Gwen goes on but DJ slips off and he and Duncan hang in the air as a result. Moments later, Gwen reaches the top and wins the challenge for the Gophers. But then she realizes she is still half naked on television and covers herself with her skirt. The next challenge takes place in the dining hall which Chris says is an Extreme Cooking Challenge. Bridgette and Lindsay are the cooks for their respective teams and they are going to prepare a meal made from the Fugu Blowfish, a poisonous Japanese blowfish that is going to be eaten by Geoff and Trent. Trent is very nervous upon learning this and gets Lindsay to confirm she has taken Biology. When the meals are finished, Geoff takes a bite and says everything is fine. Trent takes a bite from Lindsay's dish, punches himself and screams, laughs, then turns blue, falls to the floor and vomits. Chris says Trent will be fine in twenty four hours and Chef administers CPR as a precaution.

A short time later, Geoff and Bridgette go for a swim at the dock with Geoff pausing to put DJ's bunny in a "safe" place before diving in. The scene shifts to the first aid tent where Chef gives Trent a needle for his food poisoning. Back at the dock, Geoff and Bridgette are drying off from their swim when they see DJ's bunny being swallowed by a large snake followed by the snake being grabbed by an eagle and the eagle swallowed by a fresh water shark. Later, Chris tells the teams that the last challenge will have three blind challenges: the blind William Tell, the blind trapeze and the blind toboggan. For the blind William Tell portion, Chris explains that one team member will be blindfolded and will be shooting crabapples at an arrow perched atop the head of a fellow team member with the first one to knock the arrow off being the winner. Geoff heads off to supposedly get DJ's bunny while Courtney and Owen put arrows atop their heads and Sadie and LeShawna shoot apples at them. Both shooters struggle at first before LeShawna manages to win by knocking the arrow off Owen's head. Sadie, however, continues to shoot and hits the bear, the Seagull, the Sasquatch, and Courtney before realizing the challenge is over. Before slumping onto the ground unconscious, Courtney vows to make Sadie pay for her recklessness. For the trapeze segment, Chris explains that the trapeze is set up over a pond full of electric jellyfish with one team member blindfolded that leaps into the arms of a team member swinging on the trapeze and if they miss, they land in the pond. Before the challenge starts, DJ asks Geoff where is his bunny and Geoff tells him the bunny ran away making DJ to feel disconsolate. With Harold on the trapeze, Bridgette is reluctant to jump at first but Harold convinces her to jump and Bridgette succeeds and makes it to the other side successfully. Next, a blindfolded Heather prepares to jump to Lindsay, who is on the trapeze, but Lindsay mistimes the point for Heather to jump and Heather winds up in the pond and Chris declares the Killer Bass the winner of this segment. At the infirmary, Heather, with a jellyfish still attached to her head, walks inside grumbling about the last challenge even as Courtney wakes up wondering where she is. Courtney then sees Duncan luring a bunny. Elsewhere, Chris explains that in the blind toboggan race, each team will have a blindfolded driver and navigator, who shouts directions. The teams are DJ and Geoff for the Bass and Gwen and LeShawna for the Gophers though DJ is still disconsolate. The teams set out down a steep hill but LeShawna and Gwen hit water part way down. At one point, Geoff points out that Duncan is waiting for them with DJ's bunny (the one he was luring before). DJ removes his blindfold momentarily to see the bunny. Back to normal, DJ steers his team past explosions to victory in the race but Chris points out that DJ removed his blindfold, which is against the rules, and the Gophers win the overall challenge as a result. Afterward, Courtney confronts Duncan of his good deed. While he denies it at first he confesses to her (who says she won't tell anyone).

The marshmallows are given to Duncan, Bridgette, and Courtney, followed by DJ and Geoff. The final marshmallow goes to Harold leaving Sadie as the camper voted off, just as Courtney had vowed. Sadie calls the other campers a bunch of marshmallow-eating freaks and runs off to the Boat of Losers wailing and crying. While walking, however, she finds Katie waiting for her on the Boat of Losers. The two reunite by hugging and squealing happily into the night.

 * Courtney: (after Duncan swipes a mug and hides it under his shirt) I saw that! How could you just steal a mug? Duncan: 'Cause it's cool looking and I don't have one. Didn't have one, that is. Courtney: (After Duncan walked to a table) But you might get kicked off. Duncan: (Speaking sarcastically) Aww. And here I thought you didn't care about me. Courtney: We're one player short, and I don't wanna lose because you feel going all criminal on us. Duncan: Whatever. You dig me. Courtney: Ugh! Why do I even bother.

 * DJ: Never tried this before, have you? Duncan: (sarcastically) Oh, yeah, they teach you how to climb walls in prison all the time.

 * Heather: Come on, Gwen. You don't want to fall...behind! (pulls a line that rips off Gwen's skirt, her skirt lands on DJ's face.) Gwen: AAH! Duncan: Well, you don't see that every day.

(tosses the fish onto plates nearby Lindsay and Bridgette) Chris: (shows a diagram of the fish and its organs in a slideshow) They must be sliced very carefully to cut around the poisonous organs. The poison paralyzes the nerves, and...! There is no antidote. So, no worries!

Sadie: (Not knowing that Owen and LeShawna won the challenge) I got her this time! Chris: LeShawna won already! Courtney: Hey moron, it's ov- (gets hit by apples after Sadie continues to try and shoot the arrow off; other forms of wildlife are getting pelted by crabapples as well) Chris: (shakes Sadie) Sadie!! It's over, man! Let it go! Sadie: Oopsie... (takes off her blindfold) Sorry! Courtney: (to Sadie) You're... going... down... (groans and faints)


 * Chris: And now, the Blind Trapeze. To avoid serious injury, the trapeze has been set up over this pond... which is full of jellyfish. (the camera focuses on the pond, which is indeed full of jellyfish; everyone gasps) You two will stand blindfolded on the platform until your partners tell you when to jump. (hands Bridgette and Heather blindfolds) Heather: And then...? Chris: Then hopefully, they'll catch you. Or that's gonna be one heck of a painful swim. (laughs)


 * Gwen: (in confessional, after Heather falls into the jellyfish pool) Sometimes, the universe just gives you a freebie. (looks up at the sky and gives a thumbs up)

And while Owen and Lindsay cheer their teammates on, the next minute, they gape when Geoff and DJ fall, landing on the tape and breaking it before the Gophers arrive at the finish line)


 * Courtney: (in confessional) When I say someone's going down, they go down.


 * (at the campfire ceremony) Courtney: Come on already! Chris: Don't rush me! The audience eats up this kind of dramatic conclusion. (Courtney sighs) Chris: Harold. (then snaps the marshmallow out of his hand, it lands in Harold's hands.) Sadie: ... You know what? That's just fine with me you... marshmallow-eating freaks! (runs away crying) (Courtney eats her marshmallow and waves good-bye to Sadie)


 * (Sadie angrily walks down the Dock of Shame as the Boat of Losers pulls up with Katie) Katie: (seeing Sadie) EEEEEEEEEEE-EEEE-EEEE-EEEEEEE!! Oh, yay!

 * The embarrassing experience of Harold being exposed nude in front of all the female campers in the previous episode is not mentioned at all despite taking place roughly near the same time this episode begins.


 * This is the first episode since Phobia Factor that Sadie has had any lines, which is interesting because this is also the first episode since then that the Killer Bass have lost a challenge (and also the episode Sadie herself is eliminated).

Goofs

 * Lindsay's Name Goof(s): She calls Trent "Todd" in this episode.


 * Heather appears to be sick in the beginning of the episode, but during the bonfire ceremony in If You Can't Take The Heat..., she is fine. Also, she seems fine through the rest of the episode.


 * When Heather is electrocuted by the jellyfish, her skeleton appears to have no jaw.
 * Courtney claims that her team is one player behind, when actually they are one player ahead.


 * Harold claims to be allergic to apples in this episode, although he is eager to accept apple juice in the next episode, but Harold may have said this as a way to get out of the challenge.


 * Courtney, Heather and Trent can all be seen in the healing tent. However, in Paintball Deer Hunter, Chris said that the tent was only equipped for one person. It is possible that the tent has been upgraded between these episodes to accommodate more people as the challenges became increasingly more hazardous.


 * Heather blames Gwen for the freezer incident in the previous episode, but LeShawna, Beth, and Lindsay were responsible for the joke, not Gwen.
 * In fact, Gwen did not have any lines in the previous episode to begin with.


 * During the blowfish lunch challenge, Lindsay's blowfish flies through a window and breaks the glass, however in the next scenes where Geoff eats Bridgette's blowfish sushi the window is repaired. This seems strange despite the fact that there was most likely a large time span between the cooking portion and the eating portion of the challenge.


 * At the beginning of the blowfish challenge, Chris says that there is no antidote for its poison and that it's deadly enough to kill thirty people, but when Trent suffers from the effects of the poison, Chris says that he can just be fixed up in the infirmary. In addition, Trent is fine in the next episode. However, this may have been just to scare the campers or Chris might have meant if a player ate a certain amount of the poison the side effects would take place.


 * At the Killer Bass' elimination ceremony, Harold wasn't shown, but afterward he is shown receiving the final marshmallow.
 * At the campfire ceremony, there were only six Killer Bass present and there were six marshmallows on the plate when there should have only been five.
