Little Bull on the Prairie

'''The nine teams return to Canada for a Wild West-themed showdown, forcing down a potful of pork and beans and having to survive a mechanical bull. One competitor faces their worst culinary fear, another has a hard time in dealing with a long ride, and two competitors continue to have troubles getting over their own heartbreak. An embarrassed competitor tries to prove once and for all their aptitude for a partner, but in the end their clumsiness leads to their elimination, but they leave with a strengthened emotional bond.'''

Plot
The team’s next destination is a dude ranch in Alberta, Canada. Carrie discovers Devin has moved on from anger to the next stage of heartbreak: desperation, and believes he can get back with Shelley by winning the game. As the teams hail taxis to go to the airport, Dwayne and Junior fall behind due to Dwayne getting ridiculed for having a woman's tattoo. Meanwhile, Noah is still in shock over Emma dumping him, and remains in a catatonic state, forcing Owen to carry him throughout the episode.

On the second flight, Dwayne and Junior watch Total Drama: Pahkitew Island, where Dwayne inadvertently jinxes them, causing their flight to be delayed. Once in Alberta, teams will have to drive pick-up trucks to their destination. The Ice Dancers try and crash into the Cadets, but MacArthur runs both teams off the road, allowing the Surfer Dudes to arrive at the ranch first. Meanwhile, Owen’s poor driving makes him crash into several animals.

The next challenge is an All-In, where contestants will have to eat an entire pot of pork and beans to retrieve the tip at the bottom. Stephanie has trouble since beans disgust her and she refuses to eat. Geoff and Brody both finish their pot first and move onto the next challenge, which is a Botch or Watch where the person not holding the tip will have to ride a mechanical bull for eight seconds. Brody continually struggles with the challenge, unable to hold on for the allotted time.

Meanwhile the rest of the teams finally reach the ranch and start the challenge. As the other teams eat, Emma notices Noah’s despaired state, feeling guilty over the break-up. Stephanie is still unable to eat a single spoonful of beans, but Ryan manages to motivate her by calling her a loser. MacArthur selfishly hogs the pork and beans, despite the fact both members have to eat or risk penalization. Sanders manages to trick MacArthur to get at the pot, impressing her. Soon, the Surfer Dudes lose their lead due to Brody’s failure on the bull, allowing the Goths to forge ahead. Geoff gives Brody his hat, giving him enough confidence to finish the challenge and place first at the Chill Zone. Carrie and Devin place third and Devin is demoralized, but Carrie is able to cheer him up. Despite being the first to compete the mechanical bull, the Goths place fourth after stopping to look at a rotting skull.

More teams complete the bull-riding challenge, and soon Father and Son and the Reality TV Pros fall behind. Dwayne is upset about letting his son down, but Junior gives him a pep talk that allows his dad to ride the bull successfully. The final two teams race for the Chill Zone, and Owen and Noah place eighth, sparing them from elimination. Emma comes over and apologizes to Noah, snapping him out of his depressed state. She proceeds to say that she still has feelings for him and wants to be together, but she can't focus on romance during the competition. So, she says when she wins the game, they would be a couple. Noah and Owen wonder if this means Emma will not date him if they win the million. Owen comments on how cold that sounds but Noah's feelings are rekindled by her snarky attitude. Dwayne and Junior come in last, but believe it’s a non elimination round before being corrected by Don. As they leave, Junior expresses pride in his father and thanks him for everything. The two embrace before walking off into the sunset to marathon the rest of Pahkitew Island, having strengthened their emotional bond.
