I Triple Dog Dare You!

'''The three remaining campers participate in a series of dares that were made up by the eliminated campers so far. Two campers make an temporary alliance, which causes another camper to leave the island without their hair. So, there are two contestants left. But only one will win...'''

Recap
Chris wakes up the remaining campers, Gwen, Heather and Owen with an All-You-Can-Eat pancake breakfast, made with genuine food byproducts served with fresh ingredients that are relatively close to their expiration dates; Chef is seen preparing the almost real food when one of the pancakes sticks to the ceiling, and he scrapes it off with a dirty shovel. Before the challenge, the campers make several video journals in the confessional, with Gwen and Heather generally bad-mouthing each other, while Owen rants endlessly about pancakes, finishing it off by saying that all the pancakes in the world are nothing, without friends to share them with, then after noticing how much a toilet seat looks like a pancake, he bites a chunk off the toilet seat, then falls asleep. Inside the main lodge, Heather and Gwen collect their pancakes, when Gwen notices that hers are covered in dirt. When Owen reaches Chef, he receives a ration of pancakes, but, unsatisfied with the amount, he reminds Chef that the breakfast is "All you can eat"; Chef not only gives him a larger stack of pancakes, but is still angry over Owen eating his sticky buns, and dumps the entire tray of pancakes on him, burying Owen completely. Owen sticks his head out of the pile, declaring his satisfaction. After breakfast, the campers meet Chris at the outdoor auditorium and are seated in a game show-like contestants row, with Chris as host, and Chef in a shear pink dress and matching pink chef's hat as his lovely assistant; Chris tells them that the producers have run out of ideas for challenges, so they asked the voted off campers for suggestions, and they had a lot. Chris moves back to show a giant bottle attached to a wheel with pictures of all the other campers, except Katie and Sadie who are together in one big picture on the bottom, for a high stakes game of "I Triple Dog Dare You". Each of the campers will get up and spin the bottle, the picture it points to determines the dare; the camper can do the dare themselves and win a "get out of dare freebie" in the form of an empty soda bottle, or they can pass the dare to someone else. If a camper chickens out of a dare, they are automatically eliminated from Total Drama Island. In the confessional, Chris says that he and Chef has a side bet going, the first one who pukes pays the other $100. Gwen gets up first, and her spin lands on Duncan. His dare is to lick Owen's armpits. Chris asks if Gwen will take it or pass, and she gives it to Heather. Heather nervously moves towards Owen's armpit, and he tries to calm her down by suggesting that she imagine that she's licking an ice cream cone... minus the B.O. This doesn't help much, nor does mentioning the pit hair while in mid-lick, which sends Heather into convulsions. Heather gets her turn at the wheel, and spins Ezekiel, who dares them to chew their own toenail, slowly; she doesn't hesitate to challenge Gwen with the dare. Gwen sits in a small chair in the center of the stage, takes off her boot, and lifts up her foot so that Chef can clip a piece of her toenail off; he then hands her the clipping, and she puts it in her mouth. While chewing, Heather reminds Gwen that she has to do it slowly, and Gwen's chewing changes to a slow, forced motion. Owen spins the bottle and gets Beth, who dares him to re-chew a piece of Harold's old gum; Owen emphatically accepts the dare, grossing out everyone else. Owen figures the gum must be pretty special if he was saving it, and starts chewing, describing the flavor as full bodied, a delicate fruity aroma with a hint of citrus, robust yet balanced, summery, and a crunchy center; the camera zooms in on Harold's picture, which shows him picking his nose. While Chris and Chef almost blow chunks, Owen blows a large bubble that bursts and covers himself with bubble residue. Chris awards Owen the game's first freebie, and an optional tetanus shot(which Owen declines). Gwen retakes the stage and spins Cody, whose dare is to stuff a tray of ice cubes in your underwear, and let them melt. Gwen doesn't think the dare is too bad and takes it herself. Chef brings out a bucket of ice cubes, and Gwen takes and stuffs large handfuls of the ice into her shorts. Heather declares that she will take the next dare, whatever it is, as she won't let Gwen get ahead of her; she spins the bottle and gets Tyler. Tyler's dare is to eat grape jelly out of Owen's belly button. Chef pours nine spoonfuls of jelly into Owen's navel, while Owen comments on how getting two dares like this must suck. Heather gathers her strength, and while it's not shown on camera, she slurps the grape jelly from Owen's stomach, returning to frame covered in grape jelly and a horrible look on her face. Chris puts her on life support for a few minutes while Chef hands out snacks: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches; hearing of which causes Heather to throw up in the oxygen mask. Owen takes his next spin and gets Izzy, to which Owen is ecstatic. Izzy's dare is to give a purple nurple to a sleeping bear. Owen gladly takes the dare, but loses some enthusiasm when he asks "what's a purple nurple?" Owen goes to the nearby bear cave to perform the dare, which naturally wakes the bear up. Gwen spins and gets Harold's dare: lick Owen's toe jam; she passes it to Heather who uses her freebie to skip it. Heather spins and gets Geoff: drink powdered fruit punch from the communal toilet. Gwen considers whether she should use her freebie, but instead, holds her breath and goes for it. Chris mixes the fruit punch into the toilet with a plunger, comments on how gross it is, then hands Gwen a straw. Gwen pokes the straw into the water and takes a long slurp before getting sick and throwing up. While Owen goes up to get the next dare, Heather taunts Gwen, saying Trent will need a fumigation squad to kiss her with her bad breath, to which Gwen belches foul gas in her face. Owen spins Cody, whose next dare is to eat dog food, another dare that Owen is glad to take himself. Chris questions why Owen would do it when he has two freebies he can use, or better yet, challenge an opponent, preferably one with no freebies. Owen says that his dog eats it, and he wants to know what he's been missing; he then takes the plate of dog food, which is still in a can shape, and voraciously eats it. When Owen describes is as "meaty tasting", it proves too much for Chris, and he throws up. After paying the $100 to Chef, Chef throws up, followed by Gwen, then Heather. The game continues with dare after dare, including dressing up as a baby, kissing a dead fish, and wrestling an alligator; after over 60 rounds, no one has dropped out, Owen has 20 freebies, Gwen still has her 1 and Heather has none. Frustrated at how long this could continue, Gwen strikes a deal with Owen: help her take Heather down, and she'll give Owen half the prize money; and if she doesn't win the $100,000, she'll spring for a box of donuts. Owen agrees and shares his freebies with Gwen. Heather protests, but Chris says there are no rules. Heather's torture starts when Gwen spins and lands Courtney, who dares them to drink a blended puree of Chef's mystery meat. This leads to a montage showing Heather swimming in leeches, wearing a chicken hat and pretending to be a chicken, slapping herself, eating a live cockroach, kissing one of Chef's socks in the guise of a sock puppet play of the Princess and the Frog, and getting a bucket of mud dumped on her head before being fired out of a cannon into a mud pile. Heather thinks she's finally going to get a break when the bottle lands on Lindsay, thinking that she couldn't possibly come up with a bad dare. However, she is quite wrong when Chris reads the card aloud which says, "have your head shaved by Chef." Heather is put in a barber's chair while Chef menaces her with an electric razor; Chris tells her exactly what's at stake, have her head shaved to stay in the game, or keep her hair and leave. As Chef approaches, Heather panics and kicks the razor out of his hands, it flies in the air, and lands on her head; the chair falls backwards as bits of hair fly away. When the chair returns upright, Heather is in shock, with only a few clumps of hair left; although she has been shaved, Chris tells her she's now out as she didn't accept the dare. When asked about the lack of rules by an enraged Heather, Chris says that its "complicated", but she still loses; her screams can be heard all the way from the loser's hotel. Heather is taken to the Boat of Losers and leaves the island, all the while threatening to sue Chris for everything he has. This leaves Total Drama Island's two finalists being Owen and Gwen, who celebrate their long-awaited triumph over Heather.

Quotes
Gwen: So I actually made it to the final three... just goes to show you how far a bad attitude can get you. Owen: I wanted to believe it. I dreamed it could be true. And now the day is finally here. All you can eat pancakes!
 * (in the confessional cams)


 * Owen: (To Chef) Don't be shy, dude! Four words...all you can eat. You got the pancakes, I got the stomach.

Gwen: Yeah, the money would be awesome. But you know what would be sweeter? Making sure Heather loses. Owen: Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes! Gwen: If I win, I'm gonna buy Camp Wawanakwa so I can burn it down and turn it into a graveyard. Owen: Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes! Heather: When I win, I'm thinking of my own spinoff series: "The World According to Heather". Owen: I'd never win, but if I did, I'd start every day with pancakes... 'cause they're like little mini sunshines filled with yummy fun. Gwen: Personally, I've had enough drama here to last a lifetime. I mean, Owen's okay but eight weeks of Heather was about as much fun as a mouthful of impacted molars. Heather: Sure, eight weeks with these losers is cause for insanity, but at least the mother ship knows where Gwen is now so they can retrieve her and Greenpeace can bag and tag Owen as the hazardous waste that he is. Owen: But all the 'all you can eat' pancakes in the world wouldn't be special without friends to share them. (sighs) Heather: Sure, Owen's dumb luck has won him a few challenges but it's his ability not to be disgusted by anything edible that worries me. Owen: Do you ever notice how much a toilet seat looks like a pancake? (laughs and licks the toilet seat) Heather: ...and lazy. Sloths could take a cue from Slowen. Owen: (bites toilet seat) I should probably spit this out. (falls asleep) Heather: Thankfully, Gwen has no strengths. She's just a low-rent gutter-punk with dragon breath and ugly hair. Gwen: Heather's strength is obviously her bottomless pit of mean. I'm banking on her massive ego to be her downfall. Owen: (still asleep)
 * (in the confessional cams)

Owen: Yeah! Good Call! Let's do it! (Heather smacks Owen)
 * Heather: What is this, grade 5? Why don't we just do 7 Minutes of Heaven in a skanky-like basement closet?

Chris: Ok, let's get this party started. Duncan's dare: Lick Owen's armpit. Gwen, you can perform the dare yourself or dare one of your competitors to do it. Either way, someone's licking some armpit in the next minute.
 * (Gwen spins the bottle)

Heather: Shut up, Owen! Owen: Minus the BO. Heather: I'm warning you! Owen: Oh, and the pit hair.
 * Owen: (as Heather is about to lick his armpit) You could imagine you're licking an ice cream cone!

Gwen: You should talk, pit breath!
 * Heather: I'm just picturing Trent watching this, and something tells me that he won't be eager to lock lips with you any time soon.


 * (In confessional) Chris: (Gags) So freakin' sick. Chef's going down!


 * Heather: At this rate, Trent's going to need a fumigation squad just to...(Gwen burps in her face)

Heather: Oh, go stick your face back in the toilet.
 * Gwen: You still have a bit of jelly on your lower lip.

Chris: OKAY! That was so gross! (throws up) Is there nothing these freaks won't do?!
 * (in the confessional)

Owen: What if you don't win? Gwen: I'll... swing for a box of donuts. Owen: The lady drives a hard bargain. Deal!
 * Gwen: If you help me take down Heather, I'll share my winnings with you.

Chris: Sorry. Them's the rules. Not a rule to be had! Nada!
 * Heather: Hello! Ix-nay on the onspiracy-cay. That is totally unfair.

Gwen: Eeny, Meeny, Miney,... Heather!
 * Chris: Drink a blended purée of Chef's mystery meat.

Heather: Hah. Finally I catch a break. There's no way Lindsay could think of anything bad. Chris: Ooooh! You're not going to like this one: Have your head shaved by Chef! Heather: WHAT? (Gwen high fives Owen) Gwen: Lindsay rules!
 * (Gwen spins the bottle and lands on Lindsay.)

Heather: What are you talking about? He shaved my head! Chris: True, but you didn't actually accept the dare. If you had, you'd still be bald, but at least you'd be in the game!
 * Chris: (after Heather's head is shaved) Wow. Well that was a unfortunate accident... looks like Heather's out.

Heather: I thought you said there weren't any rules! Chris: Yeah, I know. It's complicated. But here's the rub: you lose, they win.
 * Chris: Sorry. Them's the rules.

Chris: Yeah, yeah. I know. It's gonna be a long ride. Heather: A long ride to court, where I sue you for everything you got! Chris: And then there were two. Tune in to see who will win the check for one-hundred thousand dollars on Total Drama Island. Heather: You want drama? You'll be penniless! Jobless! Your name will be mud on every blog from here to Cape Breton!
 * Heather: Fine, but you'll be hearing from my lawyers!

 * The dares made up by Justin or DJ are not shown during the episode.
 * Cody is the only one that has dares mentioned two times.
 * There are also some dares we see, but we don't see who came up with them:
 * These dares were done by Heather.
 * Lie in a pool full of leeches.
 * Act like a chicken.
 * Hit yourself.
 * Eat a live cockroach.
 * Kiss one of Chef's socks in a puppet show.
 * Be shot out of a cannon into a pile of pig feces.
 * Ironically, Heather was eliminated by a similar technicality that Lindsay was in "That's Off The Chain!"
 * This is the first episode in which a camper kisses an animal.
 * Owen gets at least twenty dare freebies in this competition.
 * The campers voted off previously make a brief appearance in this episode though no one says anything.
 * This marks the first time Chris and Chef puke, Chris pukes 3 times in this episode, and Chef once.
 * This is the second time when someone is not eliminated at night, the other time being Lindsay's, when it was sunset.
 * This is one of the few episodes in which the title is also the name of the challenge.
 * When Heather screams after having her head shaved, it can be heard at Playa Des Losers, where the losing campers are standing around the pool in the same positions they were in when they voted LeShawna out, except for the following differences:
 * Eva is standing directly behind Cody instead of off to one side.
 * Duncan and LeShawna have joined the losers and are standing behind Trent and Courtney.
 * Harold no longer has the lamp post wrapped around him.
 * Lindsay does not have DJ's Second Bunny in her lap.
 * Cody no longer has sunburn.
 * It is daytime.
 * Heather has some uneven patches of hair left on her head, but in the next episode she is completely bald. She may have shaved it all off so the wig could fit properly, or the rest of the hair may have fallen out.
 * During the first two rounds, whenever the campers took their turns, they landed on a camper that was the opposite gender of them.
 * This marks the third time someone leaves the island without a campfire ceremony. Also, all three campers that left the island without a campfire ceremony were female.
 * Lindsay (That's Off The Chain)
 * LeShawna (Haut Camp-ture)
 * Heather (This Episode)
 * When Heather spins the wheel to Geoff, she spins it counter-clockwise. Everyone else, including her, spun it clockwise the entire time.
 * The only campers whose photos on the wheel that seem to stand out or have any differences are Katie & Sadie (both in the same pic, hugging), Izzy (She looks like a beast), Harold (picking his nose), Lindsay (Her's has XOXOXOXO written on it, while appearing to be laying down), and LeShawna (She is looking angrily sideways).
 * When Heather completed her second dare, it took Chef nine spoonfuls to fill Owen's belly-button with jelly. Ironically, nine is Trent's favorite lucky number (who has the same voice actor as Owen).
 * Of the three dares that involved Owen's body (Duncan, Tyler, Harold), two of them were done by Heather. Had Heather not used her freebie, she would've had to do all three.
 * In the recap when Chris mentions that the campers "...ran helter, they ran skelter" is a reference to the Beatles song "Helter Skelter".
 * The contestants are able to perform dares voluntarily to gain "Get out of dare freebies", similar to the "Get out of jail free card" in the board game Monopoly. Also, when Chris says that whomever chickens out on a dare goes directly to the walk of shame, he parodies the "Go To Jail" card.
 * During the time Chris explains the penalties to not completing dares, he says "Do not go to a bonfire, do not collect a marshmallow, and do not get to win $100,000". This is another reference to Monopoly where if a player draws a Chance or Community Chest Card, it could possibly say "Go directly to Jail, do not pass 'GO', and do not collect $200".
 * When Heather is eliminated, a squirrel with a surprised expression turns its head to dramatic music. This is a spoof of a popular YouTube video turned internet meme called "The Dramatic Chipmunk".
 * This is the first episode where Chef wears the pink dress.
 * Before Heather's head is shaved, the scene is similar to the one in No Pain, No Game, before LeShawna takes on Molotov.

Goofs

 * Chris's pants and sneakers change to shorts and sandals twice in this episode.
 * Only 13 of Owen's 20 freebies are shown on screen, and some shots show only 9.
 * When Chris, Chef, and Gwen are in the bathroom, Chef is seen wearing his normal clothes instead of the pink dress. He is shown wearing it again when Gwen goes off to puke.
 * Owen is shown with arm hair in this episode when Heather licks his armpit and it is shown when she has to eat jelly out of his belly button, yet never was or is seen ever again.
 * When Heather was bald the camera goes up and Chris and Chef Hatchet are in 3-D except Heather.
 * When Heather is forced to eat Hard-Boiled eggs lying down, the wheel is shown pointing at LeShawna, even though it was Trent who gave her the dare.
 * Even though there were only 19 campers eliminated, many dares weren't used. Cody was also landed on twice; however, campers could have submitted more than one dare.
 * Right before Chef vomits, he has a full set of teeth.
 * After Heather sucks the jelly out of Owen's naval, Owen exclaims that she didn't puke this time. Though when she licked his armpit, she did not vomit but have a spasm.
