No Pain, No Game

'''The two teams are dissolved and two campers, that were eliminated in the past, return to the game, as the campers are forced to fend for themselves. The campers then face an excruciating challenge with individual immunity at stake for the first time. Someone wins invincibility and an awesome prize. Somebody gets voted off...again.'''

Recap
The female campers are relaxing by the shore of the lake, though there is clearly a level of distrust and hatred between them. Heather is about to snap at Lindsay for a minor mishap when she is interrupted by the sounds of the male campers returning on a yacht from their time at the spa. The guys talk about the luxurious treatment they received, but Owen's offering of a plate of chocolate is rebuffed by the ladies with LeShawna throwing her right sandal and knocking the plate out of Owen's hands into the lake. The guys (with the exception of Owen) are okay with this, saying the girls are just jealous. The guys then gloat about how they're now "tighter than family."

Moments later, Chris announces over the PA speakers that as of that moment, the teams are dissolved and every camper is on their own. However, Chris is not done with the surprises, and moments later, former Killer Bass member Eva returns to the island (with dramatic music playing and a forty-foot wall of fire behind her). Eva declares she's going to pay special attention to the Bass team that voted her off earlier in the competition (even though her early elimination was mostly Heather's fault; Eva seems unaware of this though). Gwen openly questions why Eva returned when Chris stressed repeatedly that once a camper is voted off, they can never return. Chris replies that he lied and LeShawna dissuades Gwen from arguing the matter further. Bridgette quickly learns that she is the focus of Eva's attention and desire for revenge due to being the last female Killer Bass member remaining in the competition, and one who suggested she get anger management. Chris goes on to welcome the second returning camper: Izzy, who swings in on a jungle vine. Izzy states that she never left the island and was living in the woods while hiding from the RCMP. With that, Chris tells the campers to meet in the amphitheater for their next challenge.

Eva enters the girls' cabin and all of the girls get scared. When Eva questions why there is duct tape on the floor, Heather quickly rolls it up and says it isn't important. Eva gets into a confrontation with Bridgette about bunking arrangements but LeShawna quickly gets between them (to Bridgette's relief). In a confessional, LeShawna states that Eva is getting on her nerves, especially after Eva calls LeShawna "Thunder Thighs."

Later, at the amphitheater, the campers are seated in a multi-level panel area and Chris says the next challenge will be one of torture called "Say Uncle." Chris says any camper who backs down from a challenge or does not last the minimum ten seconds will be eliminated and the winning camper will receive not just invincibility, but a luxurious trailer as well. After introducing a mask-wearing Chef as his assistant, Chris spins the Wheel of Misfortune for Duncan's challenge. For the challenge "Turtle Puck Shots." Duncan is forced to stand in front of a hockey net while Chef shoots grumpy snapping turtles at him. Duncan, while unprotected, gets a turtle biting him in the crotch. Duncan groans and Chris antagonizes him by asking if Duncan is having fun, to which he answers sarcastically. During Duncan's turn Gwen and Trent make up for what happened in a previous episode.

For Lindsay, her challenge is "Marshmallow Waxing", which has Chef applying a melted marshmallow mixture to her face for ten seconds; she succeeds and moves on. Since Lindsay didn't complain once she can choose who goes next. Lindsay, with Eva's "encouragement", chooses Bridgette to be the next participant and her challenge is to stand in a barrel of leeches for ten seconds. Geoff volunteers to do the challenge in place of Bridgette, but falls just short of the ten seconds required. He is subsequently eliminated and takes his place in stocks that all the losers are required to be bound in. Owen is next and his challenge is wearing a pair of wooden shorts and enduring a woodpecker. A montage follows showing Gwen getting a nose hair plucked, DJ being enveloped and squeezed by a boa constrictor (which got him out), and Bridgette wearing a shirt composed of live bees.

Chris spins the wheel and says the next challenge will be spending ten seconds inside a large wooden crate with Sasquatchanakwa. Bridgette, with the other campers encouraging her, picks Eva for the challenge. Eva enters the box and emerges after ten seconds wearing a hat and boots that looked to be made from the beast. With Eva's success, Bridgette is eliminated, and Chris goes on to show a series of clips that feature how other campers were eliminated: Trent failing to jump over a row of skunks sitting between rocks, Gwen not handling ten seconds of New Age music, Lindsay unwilling to have her hair cut by Chef using a chainsaw which Chris calls the "Wawanakwa Hair Salon", and Owen unable to eat a large amount of ice cream without experiencing brain freeze. Izzy is shocked by a pair of electric eels and likes it so much she asks to have it done again. Chris tells her she can pick the next participant and she chooses herself for a poison ivy spa treatment. Chris says the judges will allow this and she lasts the ten seconds, but Chris points out that in doing so, she eliminated herself since her face got covered in red blotches from the ivy.

Chris announces that after twenty rounds of tortures, Eva and LeShawna are the final two contestants remaining. Chris tells LeShawna that her challenge is participating in a log roll with a grizzly bear named Molotov, that Chris says has been the European log-rolling champion for the past twelve years. Chris says LeShawna must stay on the log for ten seconds and avoid certain death in the piranha-infested waters around it. Chris gives LeShawna the opportunity to back out but she refuses; in the challenge, she stays on and Molotov falls in the water and emerges moments later almost completely stripped of his fur. With that, LeShawna wins individual invincibility and the brand new trailer full of food.

At the campfire ceremony later that night, Chris tells the campers that he's reviewed the confessional vote recordings and he has decided to show what people said and who they voted for. In the recordings, Heather votes for Eva, Duncan votes for Heather, Gwen, Bridgette, DJ, Geoff and Lindsay vote for Eva and Eva votes for Heather. With that, Chris says Eva, with six votes, has been voted off. Eva is then shown in a straitjacket on the Boat of Losers, screaming that she'll get her revenge and saying that Izzy lied about where she spent her time. Izzy quickly changes the subject before that part continues, and at her suggestion, the campers head off to LeShawna's new trailer to party.

Elsewhere, the Sasquatchanakwa and Molotov are in a remote cave and are seen trying on some of the camper's clothes to cover over their missing fur. The Sasquatchanakwa puts on a hat that somehow looks like Geoff's lucky hat, and Molotov tries on Sadie's clothes, complete with a Katie and Sadie squeal.

Cast
Chef Hatchet appears but has no lines.

(Gwen and Bridgette look at the loudspeaker angrily awaiting Chris' reply) Chris: Oh yeah...that...yeah, I lied. Gwen: You can't do that! It's not fair! LeShawna: Whoa, girl, you're reasoning with a loudspeaker, that just does not look good.


 * Heather: (About Eva) She was an audience favorite? Chris: Not really, but we liked her. Also returning to camp, it's Izzy! Bridgette, Eva and Lindsay: Oh no!

 * Duncan: Ohhh...(sinks to the floor with unbearable pain)


 * Chris: (cheerfully) Isn't this fun?! Duncan: (on ground) Yeah, it's a riot.


 * Trent: Are you still mad about the whole "burying you alive" thing? Gwen: Uhh, yeah. Trent: I'll never forgive myself for that one. You know, you're totally the last person here I'd leave buried in the sand if I had a choice. Gwen: Really? That's so sweet.

I vote for Heather.

Party at LeShawna's new crib!

Trivia

 * Title Reference: This episode's title and content parodies the known phrase, No Pain, No Gain.
 * The Wheel of Misfortune is may be a reference to the show, Wheel of Fortune.


 * Unedited this episode would still be rated TV-PG.


 * All dialog edits of this episode can be seen on the Edits page.
 * Izzy and Eva returned to camp.


 * Duncan and Eva are the only ones shown to vote for Heather.


 * The two returning campers were both a female; one from the Killer Bass and a female from the Screaming Gophers.
 * This episode is very similar to I Triple Dog Dare You!, mostly because of the dares.


 * Even though it was mentioned in the recap of the next episode, this episode's title is the first time Chris has ever mentioned during his regular speaking.


 * It's shown in this episode that the campers vote each other off by saying who they want off in the confession stall, however in Basic Straining, it's shown that they vote each other off using a ballot box. Though this was probably done to prevent what Harold did in Basic Straining. This is also done in Total Drama Action.


 * It's a mystery as to why Duncan would think Heather had something to do with Courtney's elimination, as she was on the opposing team and therefore couldn't have voted against her. Though he may have thought she may have influenced someone to vote her off due to past influences.


 * LeShawna, Trent, Izzy and Owen are not shown to have voted anyone off in this episode.


 * When Izzy returns, she is eating a raw fish like a wild animal. However, in The Sucky Outdoors she bit a raw fish and then stopped, saying that they should cook it first. She may have just said that because the other campers found it weird for her to eat raw fish.


 * Izzy tells everyone that she hid in the woods when the RCMP came for her and while there, she befriended a family of beavers. Eva claims that Izzy wasn't in the woods, but at another location. This could be Playa De Losers, or it could also be referring to the city on the other half of the island.


 * At the end of the episode, the Sasquatchanakwa and Bear that were mauled during the challenge can be seen wearing some of the camper's clothes. The Sasquatchanakwa is wearing Geoff's hat (which Geoff mentioned someone had stolen in the confessionals) and the bear is wearing the clothes that were worn by both Katie and Sadie. At the end of Who Can You Trust Sadie appears without her luggage that appeared in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, the Bear may have taken it.


 * Owen, Izzy, Lindsay and Gwen are the only ones seen doing more than one challenge.


 * Here are the challenges the campers had to go through:
 * Owen: First he had to wear a pair of wooden pants with a woodpecker attacking him. Then he had to eat a dozen gallons of ice cream and withstand brain freeze.

 * Eva: She had to go into a cage with Sasquatchanakwa for ten seconds.
 * Trent: He had to jump rocks while dodging a bunch of skunks.
 * Gwen: First she had to have her nose hairs yanked out. Then she had to listen to New Age music.
 * Heather is the only one who is not seen doing a challenge.


 * LeShawna is the winner of the first individual challenge. This makes her the first camper to win solo-invincibility.
 * LeShawna is also the first camper to win a reward as well, even though it was destroyed in the next episode.


 * Although they don´t interact in this episode, Owen can be seen smiling at Izzy as the other characters were glaring at her at the end of the episode, hinting a relationship.
 * The only characters whose eliminations in the challenge were not seen were Heather and Duncan. LeShawna was not eliminated either, due to winning the challenge.


 * The mask that Chef wears throughout the challenge is the same one he wore in Hook, Line and Screamer.
 * This is the first and last episode the turtles appear so far in the series.

Goofs

 * Lindsay's Name Goof(s): She calls LeShawna "Lequesha" again, she mispronounces Eva's name as "Ava", and called Chris "Chip".
 * Continuity Error: Gwen is still mad at Trent for not digging her up in Phobia Factor, however in past episodes (namely Paintball Deer Hunter, If You Can't Take The Heat..., Basic Straining and X-Treme Torture) she seemed to be perfectly fine working beside him with no signs of a grudge. She even insinuated in X-Treme Torture that the two of them were a couple.
 * During the campfire ceremony, Izzy, Owen, Trent, and LeShawna's thoughts on who should be voted off were not shown.
 * Eva tells Bridgette that she recalls her telling her that she needs anger management classes but in The Big Sleep, it was Courtney who said it, in fact, Bridgette didn't even have any lines in that episode.
 * In the final round, Chris said that Eva was up for the next challenge, but after he spins the wheel, LeShawna had to do the challenge, which was the log roll.
 * When Eva was at her seat, her normal outfit was on, but later when LeShawna won the challenge, her swimsuit was on.
 * Izzy wasn't seen with the other campers (Owen, Gwen, Heather, Duncan, Geoff, DJ, Lindsay, Bridgette, Trent, Eva) that were locked up in stocks watching LeShawna's final challenge (the Log Roll).
 * It is not explained how the campers managed to go to the dock while still bound by the stocks.
 * Chris told Lindsay that she would have her entire body covered with melted marshmallows, but Chef only covered her face. Plus, if her whole face was waxed, that means her eyebrows would be removed, but they remained when Lindsay was done with the waxing.
 * At the campfire ceremony, Trent is not present with the others. The campfire normally only accommodates eleven people (As the two teams each had eleven members), so Trent was by some mystery excluded from the final scene with the campers altogether. However, he may have been sitting somewhere far away from the campfire because the skunk sprayed him during the skunk jump, similar to what happened to Geoff in X-Treme Torture.
 * Heather was never seen eliminated, but is seen in a wooden racket when Izzy does her second challenge. Though it's possible that she got eliminated off-screen.
 * When everyone exits the dock, they walk in the direction of the water, not land.
