Hello, everyone! This is Fedora Kid. That's right; the semi-popular author from FanFiction.Net now has his own account on TDW! I'm so excited to have my very own account here, and I am absolutely loving doing some Wiki work!

About me:
I'm a guy, currently 15 years old. As you might be able to tell, I'm obsessed with the Total Drama series. I loved TDI, even though I wasn't too interested in it until Hook, Line, and Screamer then I realized how awesome the show is! And I watched all of TDA. AWESOME! I'm currently anticipating the next season, Total Drama World Tour. It's gonna be a hit...that is, if Ezekiel is on it and lasts for a long time! Which he had better...

Probably my biggest accomplishments on the Wiki so far are:

The creation of the fairly informative "List of Vehicles" (originally "List of Vehicles in the Series") page.

An image that I nominated, "Sad Ezekiel", ended up becoming the Featured Image from February 21 to February 28 of 2010.



The week that the epic Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special premiered in the US, April 4 to April 11 of 2010, a quote that I nominated became featured! It's called "Izzy Insults Chef," and it goes like this: If I can handle hand-to-paw combat with a polar bear, then I can handle a bald, emotionally-withdrawn cook in a Halloween costume! - Izzy (Alien Resurr-eggtion)

The creation of the season four, "Total Drama Reloaded," page on April 9, 2010 (...really, this accomplishment speaks for itself).

An image that I nominated, "Izzy and Chef's First Duel," became featured from April 11 to April 18 of 2010.

I ranked ninth on the list of the top ten editors of the month of April 2010, with 254 edits.

During the week of May 16 to May 23 (however, it went all the way to May 27, due to a technicality), a quote that I nominated was featured. It's called "We Know Everything About You," and it goes like this: 'I, I mean, we'', have fan sites about each and every one of you! We know everything about you, and we are rooting for you! We know your eating habits, your hopes, your fears...YOUR DENTAL RECORDS! '''- Sierra (Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special)

Right after that, an image that I nominated, called "Heather Arrives," also became featured from May 28 to June 6.

Character Rankings (from least to greatest):


 * 22nd: Courtney - She's a spoiled, whiny, selfish, poor-sported, loud, obnoxious, sue-happy, cheating, egotistical, overreacting brat! She did NOT deserve to come back to TDA, let alone by cheating her way into the season! It's her fault that Owen got eliminated from the show, BOTH times! She does not deserve to be in TDWT, either! However, if she does actually stop being such an annoying, whining, cheating brat, and is actually nice again like she was in the very first episode, then I might start to like her again.


 * 21st: Justin - He should've remained silent. Not only did he become an antagonist in TDA, but he was a bad one! And not Heather-bad, but bad-bad, as in he doesn't know how to be an antagonist! He rarely did anything truly evil in TDA (besides causing Gwen and Trent's break-up, and getting Izzy voted off in "Full Metal Drama"). All he did was manipulate Lindsay and Beth and take off his shirt all the time.


 * 20th: LeShawna - I really don't see why she has so many fans. She's sassy, and, frankly, I'm a little sick of her always referring to everyone else as "White boy/girl;" it's somewhat racist.


 * 19th: Gwen - Originally, she was almost entirely on the opposite end of this list, and ranked as my third favorite female character (after Heather and Lindsay), but after seeing how evil and cruel she was to Trent in TDA, her popularity went south for the winter...not to mention the spring, summer, fall, and every other season of the year.


 * 18th/17th: Katie and Sadie - They can be somewhat funny when they're together, but when they're separated, they become pathetic characters. Sadie after "The Sucky Outdoors" is living proof of that. After her BFF's eliminiation, she had no lines - ABSOLUTELY no lines at all - in "Up The Creek," "Paintball Deer Hunter," and "If You Can't Take The Heat..." Besides, when they're together, the sounds they make somewhat resemble communicating dolphins. However, I do express my sympathies to all fans of these two girls (or, in rarer cases, just one of the girls); I mean, these two were both eliminated early in TDI, weren't in TDA, and right now, there's absolutely no sign of them AT ALL in TDWT? I know how bad THAT must feel. So all Katie/Sadie fans, Katie fans, or Sadie fans, just hang in there, because there is always season four, right?


 * 16th: Beth - She's just plain weird, and personally, I just don't think she belongs in TDA. Despite being the runner-up, she hasn't really had any major character development in the whole season (outside of the whole Brady thing).


 * 15th: DJ- He's seriously a boring character. He often has no lines, and it's slightly pathetic how he's the tallest, and should be one of the toughest campers of them all, and yet he's afraid of Heather shaving her legs (...but then again, can you really blame him?) But again, not too interesting overall.


 * 14th: Duncan - I don't really hate him, I just think he's seriously overrated. He has way too many fans (particularly those of the whole Duncan/Courtney pairing), and he's made it too far in both seasons: final four in TDI and WINNER in TDA? Talk about overstaying your welcome! But I do favor him over Beth.


 * 13th: Trent - He's OK. I never really paid attention to him up until the Gwen/Trent break-up issue. I'm totally on Team Trent, but that's the only reason he doesn't rank any lower on this list.


 * 12th: Eva - I do admit that she should have more screen-time in the season, but her temper problem is basically asking to be kicked off early. And, like with the Katie and Sadie fans, I do feel sorry for Eva fans, too; so far, she hasn't fared any better in the show than Katie and Sadie.


 * 11th: Tyler - He could become more developed over the course of TDWT, but they're gonna have to dig deep; he's pretty dull (although he has some hilarious facial expressions!). And I really like the Tyler/Lindsay relationship mainly because they seem like the best match, as oppose to all those mismatches, such as Duncan/Courtney and Harold/LeShawna.


 * 10th: Noah - Same as Tyler. I know what you're thinking: "If he's the same as Tyler, then why does he have a higher rank than Tyler?" Well, it's because I can relate to Noah better; being a geek/bookworm who doesn't really favor sports (as oppose to Tyler, who is all about sports).


 * 9th: Izzy - She can be pretty funnny. And I am definitely a fan of the Owen/Izzy relationship!


 * 8th: Bridgette - I think she could make a great character now that she's in TDWT without Geoff. Without their constant making-out, she could have more time for the show to actually focus on her personality and background rather than her lips.


 * 7th: Geoff - He was a really funny and great character up until he and Bridgette hooked up. Then his character became ridiculous. Although making him a semi-antagonist with TDA Aftermath is a nice touch. I'm a little upset that he's not in TDWT, but I guess it was the only way to separate him and Bridgette.


 * 6th: Harold - Hilarious character from the start! It's awesome that he made it to the final five in TDA! And he probably hits on more girls than anyone else! Personally, I think that he and Heather should hook up.


 * 5th: Lindsay - Her dimwittness makes for many a great joke.


 * 4th: Owen - He was originally my top favorite character in the show, up until I eventually became an Ezekiel fan! I still root for him, and believe that he should've won TDA (he deserved the money since Chef ripped up his $100,000 check). His elimination at the hands of Courtney was totally unfair, and I was so excited when he came back! I was glad that he at least lasted longer than Courtney (even if it was for about a minute), and Chris should just give him the $50,000 he promised him! Owen needs that money, man!


 * 3rd: Heather - The fact that everyone else hates her makes me want to like her! I think she makes a great antagonist! What she has that Justin and Courtney lack is that she knows how to work the game. She schemes and plans things out, she at least plays fair and square, and at least she admits to being evil! Justin just likes to have girls do his dirty work, and Courtney cheats her way into everything.


 * 2nd: Cody - I can relate to him so much because I'm a geek, somewhat like him. He's hilarious, and Heather should've gone instead of him. He is the one character I wanted to qualify for TDA the most (along with Ezekiel). I'll bet you that the only reason he didn't is because Peter Oldring wasn't working on the show at that time. And he is definitely going to make it far in TDWT!


 * 1st: Ezekiel - He has the most potential out of any character on the show! He's the only Canadian contestant for one. He can speak over eight different languages (and TDWT is the perfect chance for him to capitalize on that). He could easily make for a fan-favorite in TDWT! And he had BETTER not be voted off early AGAIN in TDWT; he deserves that screen-time!

Couple Rankings:


 * 6th: Duncan/Courtney - Cliche. Overrated. Pointless. This is the reason that "Basic Straining" is one of my least favorite episodes of TDI. And TDA sure didn't help, either. At that point, all that Courtney did was kick Duncan where it counts. That's the only reason that I feel sympathy for Duncan in this whole thing. That, and when he finally stood up for himself in "Top Dog." Seeing him learn how to take care of himself and vote her off was one of the best moments in Total Drama history! I was SO glad when that couple broke up, but I was enraged when they got back together. It just shows how pathetic Duncan really is, if one little kiss (not to mention through a disgusting, slimy, ink-covered face) was enough to convince him to get back together with a psycho, AND split ;a million bucks with her!


 * 5th: Trent/Gwen - It was OK at first; a nice love story, with them being able to make ammends and forgive each other for past mistakes. It was a great source of drama, heartbreak, and forgiveness. But even so, it has a history of instances where Trent is blamed for things that go wrong, when they aren't even his fault! For example, when Heather kissed him in "Search and Do Not Destroy," HE gets voted off! And now Gwen thinks that, just because he has a lucky number, he's automatically "weird." Poor guy.


 * 4th: Harold/LeShawna - A serious mismatch. It barely had two episodes when it was actually a couple, and then, after that, it became a completely one-sided relationship.


 * 3rd: Geoff/Bridgette - It was OK at first, but when they got to the point where they became absolutely obsessed with each other, and barely came up for air while they were kissing, it became ridiculous.

Season Rankings:
 * 2nd: Owen/Izzy - Hilarious couple! I swear, I never saw their epic hook-up (and subsequent temporary break-up) in "Hook, Line, and Screamer." It was awesome! I also like the whole idea of it always being on/off, on/off, on/off, over and over again! Sometimes, you have to wonder if they're actually a couple! And I also think that's it tragic how, just as they were becoming an official couple once again, and probably for good, Justin gets Izzy voted off again in "Full Metal Drama." Yep; just another reason for me to hate Mr. Male Model even more. I can't wait to see how their relationship advances in TDWT!
 * 1st: Tyler/Lindsay - You've got to love the only couple whose members were separated by seasons. But this did make for good humor with Lindsay continuously forgetting that he's not even there! And actually, I think that the very fact that they're not competing in the season is what saved their relationship. I mean, almost every other couple has broken up because of this season (except for Owen and Izzy). I can't wait to see them both return in TDWT!
 * 3rd: TDA - It wasn't that entertaining. Sure the movie genre idea was nice, but overall, it didn't have much good humor in it. It's kind of hard for me to describe many other reasons why I dislike it...I guess because it featured so many couples breaking up, with was good at first, but got ridiculous over time. It definitely went downhill after you-know-who came into the contest. I guess the main reason, though, is because it started the whole new tradition of excluding certain characters from the game, which was a mistake in my opinion. Another main reason that kind of connects to the last one is the fact that, with this season, they brought back all the characters who have already gotten enough character development over the course of TDI! They say that they did what the fans wanted, and brought back those who would make the best drama...but they failed to see that bringing back the "unpopular" underdogs, especially those in need of redemption (such as Zeke, Noah, and Eva), could've made for just as much drama, no, way more drama, than Beth rambling on and on about her boyfriend.
 * 2nd: TDI - Nothing beats the original, but I kind of have a feeling that TDWT will be better simply because it's not restricted to this one little island, or in the case of episode eight, two little islands in the middle of the ocean.
 * 1st: TDWT - What aren't the reasons I'm going to like it? New characters, for one. We've been waiting for that for the last two seasons, and now here they are! Then again, they could've maybe done more than just two...but still. And the creators struck a gold mine with the fans by bringing back the top four favorite underdogs: Cody, Tyler, Noah, and (hallelujah, praise the Lord) EZEKIEL. I know that most are saying that Zeke won't last long...but on a really optimistic note, even if Zeke doesn't last long, then we at least know that the other three will definitely go far. And besides that, I'm sticking with my theory that if he does go early, he'll get to come back. I'm just hoping that,overall, the four of them get more development, because from the looks of it ("it" referring to the special and several trailers), Noah and Zeke are simply going to be physically abused to no end on the show, and maybe Tyler, too. But still; at least they'll all have some good screen time.
 * TBA: TDR - They're finally going to bring in more than ten new characters, most of which look much better than the last two. And there's no doubt that they'll still salvage some of the original twenty-two contestants before they're gone forever. This may be the last season of Total Drama, but will it be the best? There's only one way to find out.

My FanFiction
For those of you who haven't read my FanFiction stories yet, and might want to, here's a quick rundown of my twenty-two contestants and teams. Note: There are several differences between the real show and my stories. First off, rather than all contestants being sixteen, they are all instead many various ages, but anything between the range of 13 to 18 years olf (technically the official years of teenagers); also, in my stories, the readers vote who leaves every time, not the contestants themselves.

Teams (first season): Flaming Bears and Psycho Squirrels

Teams (second season): Flaming Directors and Psycho Producers (not telling whose on these teams and who isn't; don't want to spoil it with saying who makes it to season two)

Daniel: The Jock (no, not a Tyler kind of jock; a real jock); 17; six-foot two, perfectly tan, very muscular, brown hair in a buzz cut, piercing brown eyes; very athletic and physically fit. Almost always wears baggy basketball shorts, fine sneakers, sleeveless muscle shirts, and a black headband. Flaming Bears. Partially based off of Tyler (in jockness) and Justin (in manipulativeness of the girls)

Isaiah: The Dweeb; 17; curly dark hair; brown eyes; perfectly round, Harry Potter-like glasses; Very much based off of Harold in personality, voice, and appearance, except he is darker-skinned (like Noah); very messy and fails at wearing proper clothing (wears sweatervests and khaki shorts, but does so very sloppily); weak and gangly; very strange in what he says sometimes, as he often states random and useless (but interesting) facts; Flaming Bears. Based off Harold and the real Napoleon Dynamite.

James: The Jolly, Lovable Fat Guy (yes, based off Owen); 16; grossly over-weight (said to be around 315 lbs.); probably of African American descent, with curly black hair; fairly weak, but with great spirit; friendly and easy to get along with; fairly clumsy and dim-witted, but with a kind heart. Psycho Squirrels.

Jennifer: The Gymnast; 15; is in gymnastics and cheerleading (apparently co-captain of her team), thus making her very athletic and flexible; fairly-well built; long, brown hair often in a ponytail; green eyes; Caucasian, with a slight an; can be motivational, but aggressive at times. Flaming Bears. Partially based off of Eva for physical abilities, but also LeShawna in aggressiveness, but popularity with the others.

Jeremy: The Cool, Laid-back Nice Guy; 14; slightly resembles Trent in skin color, build, and hairdo (his hair is also black, like Trent's); fairly strong and capable of pulling his own weight in teamwork challenges; green eyes; friendly and ready to play the game; partially based off of Trent an DJ. Psycho Squirrels.

Jessica: The Clumsy Girl; 15; blonde hair with streak of red; blue eyes; Caucasian; as her title states, she is extremely uncoordinated and fails at practically every easy task and can hardly stand up straight for too long; despite this, she has an extremely enthusiastic attitude, and believes she can do anything perfectly fine (like Tyler); this sets up for her temper problem when denied the ability to participate. Psycho Squirrels.

John: The Goth Boy; 16; has long, slick black hair that covers his eyes (thus leaving his eye color unknown); very pale, white, almost ghost-like skin; wears all black (black shirt, black pants, black shoes, black socks, and even black underwear); very dull, rarely speaks (like Justin); a background character, who rarely participates; however, when he simply has no choice but to participate, he reveals that he is extremely physically fit, and nearly as strong as Daniel, and agile as Jennifer; based off of Ezekiel as the only contestant who is Canadian (and speaks with the Canadian accent). Psycho Squirrels.

Josh: The Karate Kid; 15; Asian, with light black, almost gray hair in a slight bowl haircut; gray eyes; is said to be a fourth-degree Black Belt in Karate (hence his title); is very strong and agile; has a can-do attitude and is thus a team player and very physical; has a very forward attitude, slightly aggressive, but with good reason. Psycho Squirrels.

Lauren: The Prom Queen; 16; Caucasian, very tan (but tan lines can be seen with her various outfits); baby blue eyes; very skinny; ridiculously bright blone hair; wears the most gaudy outfits, from her earrings right down to her shoes; claims to be very rich; always has toenail and fingernail polish on, but very sloppily applied; whiny and bratty, complains about everything, and is very weak in the challenges, thus refusing to participate; doesn't care about the game, but just wants the money; partially based off Lindsay. Flaming Bears.

Luke: The Brainiac; 17; fairly pale skinned and skinny; brunette, with slightly curly hair; pale blue eyes and a slightly dull expression; shortest of all the campers; wears blue sweats an a matching blue long-sleeved shirt; is fairly physically fit, but not much of a team player; can be slightly arrogant, but likable overall; as his title states, he is extremely intelligent as well as very clever. Flaming Bears.

Madison: The FemiNazi; 15; blonde hair; Asian (somewhat like Heather); green eyes; is fairly fit, and performs decently enough in challenges; a background character until much later in the story (won't say how much later), when she reveals that she is very sexist towards man, believing them to be inferior to women in every way imaginable; this earns her the hatred of many of her teammates, both male and female; based off of Ezekiel for sexist views. Psycho Squirrels.

Mark: The Optimist; 16; dirty blonde hair; brown eyes; has a very friendly, laid-back, and (obviously) optimistic attitude towards everything; is very cool and likable, and, in addition to optimism, also has a serious party-guy attitude; is also physically capable and a great team player; partially based off of Geoff. Psycho Squirrels.

Mary: The Perfectionist; 14; long brown hair; brown eyes; a sharp, stern face that, for the most part, is expressionless; is the perfectionist (as her title states) and feels that everything must be done right, and done perfectly; she is very clever and intelligent, and also capable in the physical challenges; her slight brashness that comes with desiring perfection makes her somewhat unlikable, but still a great asset to the team overall; based off of Courtney. Psycho Squirrels.

Matthew: The Nice Guy; 13; short dirty blonde hair; Caucasian; thick, black sunglasses that he never takes off and are purely reflective, thus covering up his eyes and (like John) leaving their color a mystery); friendly smile and pleasant demeanor; fairly short and lean, but capable enough of physical challenges; very smart, but not arrogant about it like Luke; he is very friendly and outgoing, thus earning him a lot of popularity, despite being the youngest; based off of Cody. Flaming Bears.

Nicole: The Cheerleader; 14; black hair that barely falls to her shoulders; second-shortest camper (next to Luke); a pretty girl who looks like the prom queen type (like Lauren), but is actually fairly social and humble; however, she can be tough if she has to; member of the cheerleader squad (hence her title), but just wants to it in; Flaming Bears

Peter: The Bad Boy; long black hair, in a short ponytial; wears a black shirt with sleeves torn off and a blood-covered skull and crossbones on it, baggy gray shorts with a chain hanging from them sagging down to reveal his boxers, with the same skull/crossbones design as his shirt, several chain bracelets, and has multiple nose, tongue, and eyelid piercings; lacking in brains, but definitely makes up for it in brawn and brutality; a mix of Duncan for looks and personality, and Heather for main antagonist role; Psycho Squirrels

Rachael: The Friendly Girl; 17; long, brown hair, smooth and straight; wears a plain orange, short-sleeved T-shirt, along with green pants similar to Courtney's; brown sneakers; mainly based off of Bridgette for calm, laid-back, and friendly demeanor; Flaming Bears

Ruth: The Body-Builder; 16; short, black hair; same general skin color as LeShawna, and with some similarities to LeShawna, except skinnier and more muscle than fat; wears a gray tracksuit; headstrong, all-out "can-do" attitude, ready for any challenge thrown at her; based off of Eva and LeShawna; Flaming Bears

Samantha: The Cell-Phone-a-Holic; 15; fairly long, black hair; Caucasian, fairly short and lean; most common trait is her absolute addiction to her cell phone, which can cost her dearly in challenges; Flaming Bears

Fedora Kid's (Fictional) Time on the Show:
I've seen a bunch of other users do this, so I eventually said to myself, "Eh, why not?" So, in this story, Fedora Kid's name is Chester (not my real name), and he replaces Justin. Other than that all of the challenges, teams, and other characters are the same; only the challenge wins and the elimination order is different. Chester is an extremely pale Caucasian, has brown eyes, brown hair, and is five-foot-five. His stereotype is The Nerd.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 1/Part 2
Chester's POV:

Chester arrived on the island in a pretty casual and nonchalant manner, although he later admitted to the confessional that, inwardly, he was very nervous, as he had never been on a reality show before. He was put on the Screaming Gophers, and he seemed to take a liking to Heather, who harshly rejected him using some of that day's lunch meat. He was also seen to hang out with Cody, and the two quickly became friends. When it was the Gophers' turn to do the cliff dive, he told Heather, "After you, Beautiful." Heather replied by throwing him off the cliff, only for LeShawna to throw her off the cliff subsequently. With Beth being the only chicken, the Gophers won the special carts to pull their crates. Later, Heather was talking to Lindsay about how she didn't like the looks of Gwen, and thought she seemed suspicious. She also added that Gwen hardly participated in pulling the carts. Chester overheard the conversation, but didn't interfere. Later, while they were building the hot tub, Chester accidentally used the wrong amount of glue for each board of wood, and it wasn't as strong and sturdy as it could have been. This was later confirmed when Chris inspected their hot tub, and said it looked awesome. Chester, trying to be cool, casually leaned against the hot tub, only for it to split under the pressure and collapse completely. The other Gophers all glared at him after this happened. Despite the Bass' hot tub not faring much better, Chris decided to declare the Bass as the winners due to their hot tub at least looking cruddy, and he expected it to collapse,unlike the Gophers'. Plus, it lasted a few seconds longer than the Gophers did. At dinner, most of the Gophers, particularly Gwen and Noah, were already determined to vote off Chester, but Heather later pulled him aside and told him that the only way to save him was to put someone else on the chopping block. Chester agreed, and she told him to vote for Gwen, due to her earlier dislike of her. Heather managed to convince Beth, Lindsay, and Owen to do the same, and together, the five of them voted Gwen off. While Gwen, Noah, and LeShawna voted for Chester, and Cody, Trent, and Izzy voted for Beth. Chester then later proceeded to rant on in the confessional about "how nice that angelic Heather is" for saving him. Meanwhile, Heather revealed that the only reason she saved "that annoying little dweeb" was because she figured that he would be easy to sucker into an alliance.

Killer Bass POV:

Most goes normally with the Bass over the course of the challenge, with little to no affection by Chester's involvement. Later in the day, Ezekiel openly boasts that he isn't surprised that the Bass won, as they have less girls. Despite his "team spirit", Bridgette and Eva are offended by his comments. Geoff attempts to defend him, but he continues on unknowingly. After he states that guys are smarter than girls, Eva grabs him by the neck and flings him right into the wall, smashing a hole right through the wood. Ezekiel, in the confessional with a bandaged head, seems clueless as to why they attacked him. He also states that, since they have won the challenge, he is unsure about spending another three days with the angry female Bass members. Later that night, he is seen noticeably very afraid to go to sleep, and Duncan makes it worse when he tells him that he had better sleep with one eye open. Tyler and Harold try to calm Zeke down, and tell him that there is nothing to worry about. Later that night, Harold, who has the bunk below him, whispers to him that he screwed up big time, but he will help him.

The Big Sleep
Chester has already made enemies with several of the other Gophers, particularly Noah, due to his barely surviving the last elimination. In the 20k run, he was the second-to-last to finish, only next to Harold. When it came time to eat, he was seen quickly shoving Noah out of the way to get at some of the McDonald's cheeseburgers, which he voraciously devoured. However, come the sleeping part of the challenge, he struggled to stay awake, even resorting to slapping himself and putting his butt over the bonfire to nearly burn himself. Later, Heather pulled Chester, Lindsay, and Beth aside to talk to them about an alliance. All three of them eagerly agreed. Chester was among the last six Gophers still standing, while Noah, Cody, Heather, Lindsay, and Beth all stayed awake after him. Meanwhile, the situation with the Bass girls vs. Ezekiel continues, and Harold tells Zeke that what he said isn't entirely true. While he understands Ezekiel's mention that he was simply raised that way, Harold tells him that he will have to make it up to the girls somehow. Shortly after, Ezekiel manages to earn some redemption; he somehow manages to stay wide awake long after Heather, the last standing Gopher fell asleep (he claimed it was due to living on the farm all his life, where he naturally gets up early and goes to bed late), and wins the challenge for the Bass for the second time in a row. He seems to earn the approval of Bridgette, Katie, and Sadie, but Courtney and Eva still seem to hold a grudge against him. At the bonfire, Heather's new alliance came down to either voting off Noah or Owen; the latter due to being the first to fall asleep, and the former due to his disturbing encounter with Cody. However, they ultimately decided on Owen, and the four of them, along with Trent, voted Owen out. Noah and LeShawna voted for Chester, and Izzy, Cody, and Owen voted for Noah.

Dodgebrawl
LeShawna and Noah continue to express their grudge against Chester. When they are glaring at him at breakfast, he finally bursts out and asks why they dislike him so much. Noah states that it's because he is clumsy and hardly does well in the challenges, and LeShawna says she disapproves of his voting off Gwen, due to her thinking that Gwen could've been "alright." Later, Chester is seen talking to the neutral Trent to see if he can at least get another true friend on the island besides Cody. Due to Trent hanging out with LeShawna often, and due to being seen smiling at Gwen and looking at her often on the first day, Chester proceeds to boldly ask Trent if he liked Gwen. Trent is reluctant, but ultimately admits to it. Chester tells him that he is sorry, as he knows what it is like to be heartbroken in that way, and that he will make it up to him, even using the cheesy line, "There's a lot of fish in the sea." Later, when they announce that the challenge is dodgeball, Chester appears to be extremely enthusiastic about it, along with Cody. He says in the confessional that he is the best dodgeball player in his whole school, and that "dodgeballs to me are like bullets to those Matrix guys; I dodge everything!" In the first challenge, several people seem reluctant to let him participate, believing that he will screw it up again, but Heather convinces them to let him join. This proves to be an excellent choice, as he truly does dodge every ball with perfect swiftness and cat-like reflexes. While he is reluctant about throwing balls, he does manage to hit Tyler (mostly due to Tyler's own clumsiness), and catches a ball thrown by Katie. He ultimately helps them win the first round, but LeShawna is convinced that dodging won't be enough. Meanwhile, Eva, not the least bit affected by the Awake-a-thon, proves to be a champion for the Bass, as she throws very hard balls and catches well, and is also a master of dodging. Duncan, too tired from being the second-to-last Bass standing in the previous challenge, uses the excuse that he is tired from said challenge, even though it was three days ago, and sits out the games. Eventually, Lindsay is hit hard in the face by a ball from Geoff, and sits out with a very bruised face. She sits next to Trent and leans against him, saying that she is exhausted and needs "a hunk to lean against." She asks if Trent minds, to which he responds that he doesn't, and even puts his arm around her. Eventually, with Eva, DJ, Geoff, and Ezekiel all serving as four strong players for the Bass, but Chester and Cody working as a tag-team (Chester as the dodger, catcher, and supplier of the balls, and Cody as the thrower, with his "Static Ball"), the teams are tied two-to-two. Several times during the game, Courtney suggested waking up Duncan to see if he could participate, despite his threat if they did so, but DJ and Geoff disagreed, saying that Eva was good enough. Eventually, it came to an ultimate showdown of Eva vs. Chester. Chester dodged every time, showing no sign of tiring, and Eva grew more and more frustrated with missing every time. Eventually, she wound up a hard final throw, harder and with more force behind it than any other throw she had made at all during the game, and launched the ball. She finally scored, and the ball nailed Chester right in the chest, which completely winded him and knocked him out for the rest of the episode. The Bass had a brief celebration before referee Chef dropped the bomb: Eva had ended up stepping over the boundary line when she threw the ball, so the hit was declared illegal, and the Gophers won by default. While Heather and Cody commended the unconscious Chester's skills, Noah still said that he technically didn't win the game for them. Cody responded with, "Well at least he played the game!" Even LeShawna agrees, and reminds Noah that he, like Duncan, sat out the entire game. He simply shrugs. At the Bonfire that night, Eva didn't seem the least bit nervous despite losing the game for them. But even so, she was in the bottom two, along with Duncan. But Eva received the final marshmallow, and Duncan had been voted off. It was later revealed that Ezekiel, Bridgette, DJ, Geoff, Harold, Tyler, Katie, and Sadie all voted for Duncan, while Duncan, Eva, and Courtney voted for Ezekiel.

Not Quite So Famous
Courtney was seen to be enraged at her "idiot" teammates for voting off Duncan instead of Ezekiel, although not a lot of them seemed to care. Only Eva backed up Courtney's protests, and it appeared that they were on the verge of some sort of an alliance. Meanwhile, Chester has now almost gained complete forgiveness and approval all of his teammates, with the exception of Noah, LeShawna, and possibly Trent. When Chris announced the challenge, and told the teams to pick their players, Chester seemed quite reluctant at the idea of performing. He later talked to "the judges": Heather, Lindsay, and Beth, and told them that he did not want to be in the show. However, Heather strongly commanded him to audition anyway. His talent was playing the keyboard, which he did not do too well. Luckily for him, Heather chose not to have him participate. Later, he was talking to a noticeably upset Trent, and asked what was wrong. Trent said that he was awesome at guitar, and knew that playing the guitar would be a great act, but he just didn't find himself in the mood. When Chester asked why, Trent explained how he had been working on a song to sing for Gwen, shortly after becoming attracted to her on the first day. But following her elimination, he threw the notes away, heartbroken. Chester told him that maybe the song didn't have to apply specifically to Gwen, and that he could sing it for another girl at camp, as he believed that a certain Gopher girl already had her eyes on Trent. He seemed confused as to who Chester was talking about, until he caught Chester's obvious hints in Lindsay's direction. Trent looked at Lindsay, then told Chester that he'd think about it. Meanwhile, the Bass, whose sole judge was Courtney, eventually chose Eva, Ezekiel, and Courtney herself for the Bass. Originally, Courtney wanted to choose DJ instead of Ezekiel, but when they saw how bad and unmanly DJ's ribbon dance was compared to Ezekiel's adequate archery, she was beaten down by the majority's opposition until she agreed to choose Zeke. Just before the show, the Gophers finally make their decision: Heather with her ballet, Trent with his guitar, and Beth with her fire batons. Heather goes first, dancing elegantly in her ballerina's outfit, and with Chester noticeably staring at her breasts. Her dancing scores a nice seven/ten. Ezekiel displays his archery skills, by shooting a target's bulls-eye five times in a row, then hitting the target within the circle three times while blindfolded. This impressive "William Tell-ness" (as quoted by Chris), earns a nine/ten. Beth goes up next, doing very well at first, but ends up failing miserably when she can't catch the second baton at the very end, and it burns half of the curtain and part of the stage. She "earns" a three/ten. Eva goes up next with a display of strength; lifting up three pianos and Tyler. However, Heather and Chester loudly boo her, and Eva gets slightly distracted. Disaster follows. Eva stumbles over to the side, and steps in a part of the stage floor that had been weakened by the burns from Beth's act (and the "clean-up crew" [Chef] had missed). Her foot falls through the weak wood, and the pillar of pianos topples right into the audience, coincidentally falling into the Bass side. The pianos crush Katie, Sadie, and Harold, sending all three of them to the infirmary. Tyler, on top of the pianos, falls right through the bleachers and causes part of them to collapse. He is also physically disabled for the rest of the episode. In addition, the partial collapse of the stage floor spreads like a ripple backstage, and Courtney, who was supposed to perform next, falls through the floor and lands on her violin, crushing it. Coincidentally, Geoff was right next to her and fell through as well. He was holding his skateboard (his talent) at the time, and it fell through the floor before him, and, in a split second, once-in-a-million chance, landed on the ground straight up, with the back of it on the ground and the top right in the air. In this moment, Geoff fell through and landed right on the jutting skateboard crotch-first. Right after the painful landing, the skateboard snapped in half. Both Courtney and Geoff were only slightly injured, with the former has a limp in her right leg for the rest of the episode, and the latter cringing and bent over for the rest of the episode. The humiliated Eva limps off-stage with a two/ten, and the Bass are in turmoil. The only members left who could perform were Bridgette and DJ, since Eva and Ezekiel had already gone, Tyler, Katie, Sadie, Harold were all injured by the accident, and Courtney and Geoff had their talents destroyed. They ultimately chose on Bridgette (one of the only three not affected by the tragedy, along with DJ and Ezekiel), to do her hand-stand. She performed fairly well, and earned the Bass a nine/ten for holding the position for almost ten minutes straight. They were extremely confident with their chances, until Chester went backstage to convince Trent one last time to do his song. Trent finally agreed, seeing that it was the only chance they had of winning. He performed the song, with several references to the girl's long, flowing blond hair, but Lindsay still didn't catch the hints. Unfortunately, it was Bridgette who caught that line, and instantly believed that Trent was talking about her. She thought what he was doing was sweet, despite being on the opposite team, and listened while gazing starry-eyed at Trent. Trent's emotional and well-written song earned the Gophers a perfect ten/ten, winning the challenge for them. That night, Harold, Tyler, Katie and Sadie could not attend the Bonfire ceremony, and were declared by Chris as "out of the question" in terms of voting, saying that true injury trumps all. Thus, with those four as good as Invincible, the Bass had to vote for either Ezekiel, Courtney, Bridgette, Eva, DJ, or Geoff. Ezekiel and Bridgette received the first two marshmallows, followed by Geoff and DJ. When it was down to Courtney and Eva, the former was absolutely shocked when she was the one who ended up without a marshmallow. Once again, she screamed at her teammates for making a "stupid choice" by voting out one of their "superiors." The Bass responded by pelting her with marshmallows. In the Confessional, Bridgette, Ezekiel, and Eva all revealed separately that their motive for the vote had been this: They didn't want to vote for Ezekiel or Bridgette, obviously, since their acts were the most successsful; they didn't want to vote for DJ or Geoff since they never got to participate, with DJ trying his best in his audition and Geoff having his destroyed. But they chose to keep Eva over Courtney since it wasn't Eva's fault that she stumbled, and since Courtney became very annoying since Duncan's elimination. Thus, everyone who was present at the ceremony voted for Courtney.

The Sucky Outdoors
The Bass all celebrate Courtney's elimination at breakfast that morning, while the Gophers celebrate their victory of the challenge. Later, Chester continues to hit on Heather, complimenting how beautiful she looked in the ballerina dress. She simlpy replied with a curt, "Uh, thanks." Before turning away. She states in the Confessional that she's had "countless other wimps" hit on her in the past, and Chester is no different. She then says that if Chester wasn't so useful to her alliance, she would dump him. Subsequently, she starts to stammer about how she didn't mean "dump" as in a relationship, but dump as in to let him go. She then continues to stammer and uses more comments that only imply a relationship. When Chris announces the camping challenge, Ezekiel seems very optimistic about it, telling the Bass that he practically lives in the wilderness. Several teammates, most prominently Geoff and DJ, seem enthusiastic to have the rustic Ezekiel in this kind of challenge, anyway. The Gophers, on the other hand, have the opposite attitude, and most, such as Heather, Lindsay, and Chester, seem nervous about the idea. Nevertheless, they start their long trek into the woods towards their campsites. On the way there, Heather holds the first major alliance meeting with everyone present. She explains that their strategy is to pick off the members of the team who were the strongest mentally and physically. Someone who was a great asset to the team, but could help to expose the alliance and attempt to disband it. When Beth questioned the idea of taking down the team's own "superstars", Heather said that she was simply preparing for the merge. Chester suggested Noah almost immediately, but Heather disagreed, saying that, while he was very strong mentally, he was scrawny and hardly participated, as made evident with the Dodgeball game. She subsequently nominated LeShawna, who was already very popular, was tough and good in the challenges, and had a strong mind. The alliance members all agreed to this. Meanwhile, the Bass was listening intently to some of Ezekiel's tales of the times he had gone camping in the wilderness, and how some of those times had nearly gone deadly. The only ones who were not intrigued by his stories of being lost for three days with minimal supplies and being attacked by two angry bears, were Geoff and Eva. Geoff was seen noticeably upset by how Bridgette seemed to be the most captivated by Zeke's stories, even smiling at Zeke as he spoke. While Geoff rambled on in the Confessional about his jealousy, Bridgette also stated that, while she thought Ezekiel was a great guy, good in the challenges, and told some nice "campfire stories," she still had an interest in Trent for his song, which she was still unaware of the fact that it was not for her. Katie and Sadie were so similarly captivated by Ezekiel's stories that they missed the blueberry bush, and stayed with the team the whole time. The Bass arrived at their campsite, and Ezekiel acted as temporary leader of the team; he helped to start a fire without even using a lighter (instead using two rare rocks nearby that he explained were flammable), pitched a perfect tent, and later went off and caught six fish; all by hand. The Gophers, however, didn't fare so well. While they did manage to get their tent up, they couldn't start a fire or find any food. Ultimately, the Gophers all had trouble sleeping since they hadn't eaten anything since that morning, and they all lied wide awake in the tent. Eventually, Chester decided to tell them a ghost story. Although the storyline sucked, his killer sound effects and impersonations of the ghost all disturbed the Gophers, and they had an even harder time falling asleep. At one point, they thought they heard a real ghost sound, and they all freaked out. They all tried to rush out of the tent at the same time, and ended up knocking it right down on top of themselves, which only scared them even more. They resorted to tearing through the canvas to avoid being smothered, and once they were all outside, Izzy revealed that she had been making the ghost noises. They all glare at her before they resort to sleeping underneath a nearby massive tree. Ultimately, the Bass got a pleasant night's sleep, and they all made it back to the camp before the Gophers could, and won the challenge. That night, it was down to a bottom three of Chester, LeShawna, and Izzy, as Chris said that they all received votes. Several Gophers, including Trent, LeShawna, and Cody, said that they had voted for Izzy for making the noises and causing them to destroy their only shelter, while Noah and Izzy voted for Chester for telling the story in the first place. But Heather, Chester, Lindsay, and Beth all stuck with their original plan for LeShawna. With four votes LeShawna, three for Izzy, and two for Chester, LeShawna was voted out.

Phobia Factor
When everyone was discussing their fears around the Bonfire, Chester remained dead silent so that no one would think to ask him. Unfortunately, his rival Noah noticed his uncomfortable squirming, and asked him what his fear was. Chester shot back at Noah by asking what his fear was, to which Noah replied, "Fear." He then said, "To quote Franklin D. Roosevelt, 'The onlt thing we have to fear is fear itself.'" Several of the others seemed to approve of Noah's ingenuity, but a few (Lindsay) didn't get how one could fear fear. Eventually, the focus turned right back to Chester, who reluctantly admitted to being afraid of two things: sharks and heights. The next day, when Chris announced the challenge, Chester fainted. Katie, Sadie, and Lindsay went up first, all having to face their fear of "bad haircuts." By the end of the day, all three of them passed. Heather and Beth successfully faced their fears in their own ways. Ezekiel had to face his fear of snakes with a massive boa constrictor around him for ten seconds. Izzy encouraged him, saying that it was just like a hug; "a scaly, slimy, snakey hug!" Despite this weird cheer, Zeke still passed nonetheless at the more sane encouragement of DJ, Bridgette, and Geoff. Later, Eva had to face her fear of "an opponent with strength equal to my own" by arm-wrestling with Chef. It seemed close at first, but she ultimately won, making Chef cry like a little girl. When Noah eventually asked Chris how he was going to face his fear of fear, Chris said, "I'll think of something; just give me time." But Noah proceeded into a long and large-worded speech about how it is impossible to face fear when the fear is fear, which is why fearing fear is the best solution, due to there being nothing to fear in fear, which proves that fear is nonexistent, since there is nothing to fear. After a few minutes of this, most of the contestants and Chris complained of a headache, and Chris, begging Noah to stop, decided to automatically pass him. Trent also faced his fear of mimes by tricking it into screaming in pain when he kicked it in the groin. With a score of Gophers = 5 and Bass = 4, Geoff proceeded to fail miserably while facing his fear of hail. DJ went next, and easily picked up the harmless little snake at his teammates' encouragement, moving the Bass up to 6. Cody failed in diffusing the garbage time bomb, thus causing Bridgette to similarly fail her fear. Izzy refused to face her flying fear unless someone else went with her. Chris refused to allow this, saying that unless the other person also had a fear of flying, it would not be allowed. Izzy then quit and did not face the fear. Tyler could not face his chicken fear. This left only Chester and Harold. Chris revealed that he was combining Chester's two fears together to make what was basically a repeat of the very first challenge: jumping off the 1,000-foot cliff and into the shark-infested waters. Once again, Chester was ready to chicken out. Heather started yelling at him to do better, but this only scared him even more. Heather then got an idea: she immediately turned to sweet-talking Chester, saying, "I just know that a big, strong, wonderful guy like you can do this and win the challenge for our team so that we don't get voted off." She then, with great reluctance, kissed Chester. This put him into an extreme state of loopiness, which eventually caused him to stumble right off the edge of the cliff. Beth, Lindsay, and Cody seemed cocerned, while Noah and Heather watched him fall with eagerness. Fortunately, he landed in the safe zone and passed the challenge, tying the score at 6 to 6. However, with all of the pressure resting on Harold, he was easily able to whip out his nun-chuks and destroy the three ninjas he was faced against, winning the challenge overall for the Bass. Later, Heather was seen in a confessional rinsing her mouth out with soap, saying that the kiss was absolutely repulsive, and that she couldn't stand him much longer. However, this only secured his loyalty to her, which made him still an invaluable asset. The vote ultimately came down to Izzy and Cody, due to both of them being the only ones who failed to face their fears. However, at Heather's alliance meeting, Chester vouched for Cody, saying that he was a nice guy. When Heather simply raised an eyebrow, he quickly added, "Uh...and he's really, really weak! He's no threat at all once we're on our own!" Heather approved of this, and the four of them, along with Cody and Trent, voted for Izzy, while only Izzy herself and Noah voted for Cody. Thus, Izzy was voted out.

Up the Creek
The episode starts with the teams in the main lodge for breakfast, and Bridgette gazing lovingly at Trent. Trent notices the looks but does not think much of it, instead simply smiling back at her in a strictly friendly way. In the Confessional, he explains his thoughts on Bridgette, stating that she is nice, pretty, and popular, and that he personally wouldn't mind her too much. However, he still decides to stick with Chester's suggestion and try to go for Lindsay, as she is "way hotter," and probably easier to flirt with, due to them being on the same team. Similarly, Bridgette states that, after a while, she has now finally realized that Trent really isn't noticing her. She says that he is hot, strong, and a cool, laid-back guy, and definitely her type, but as long as they're on opposite teams, they can do nothing to interact with each other. Later, Chris announces the canoe challenge. For the second time, Ezekiel seems quite happy about this type of challenge, and seems to be the only one who enjoys the idea of a canoe trip. However, even his happy spirits are shot down when Chris gets to the "cursed forever" part. As the teams start to head off for the canoes, Sadie races out of the bathroom, having missed the introduction. When the teams are choosing partners, Katie and Sadie immediately pair up. Geoff and Ezekiel are seen glancing at the lonely Bridgette, then each other. They both quickly race over towards her, only for Bridgette to go up to Katie and Sadie and ask to join them, completely oblivious of the two guys right behind her. They both sigh heavily, then glare at each other. Ezekiel then proceeds to go with Harold and Tyler, while Geoff rides with DJ and Eva. On the Gophers' side, Beth and Lindsay ask Heather if they can go with Trent, and she initially denies them permission to do so. But Chester immediately pulls her aside and says that if Lindsay rode with Trent, she could easily "persuade" him to join their alliance, also briefly informing her of the whole ordeal with Chester trying to hook Trent up with Lindsay ever since Gwen had been voted off. He adds that he's already tried to do it (even though he had done no such thing), and it didn't work. Heather thinks about it for a moment, then compliments his deviousness and agrees, quickly changing her mind and allowing Lindsay and Beth to go with Trent. In the Confessional, Chester admits that he didn't really care about whether or not Lindsay could convince Trent to go with their alliance; he just wanted to be alone with Heather. Only after she sends Beth and Lindsay away does she immediately realize this (especially when Chester puts his arm around her), and seems repulsed by this. Nonetheless, she goes along with him. Thus, Noah and Cody take the final canoe. While on their respective canoe trips, the campers have various and interesting conversations. Ezekiel talks about his attraction to Bridgette with Tyler and Harold. Both give him advice and encouragement, saying that he is a cool, funny guy and is easy to get along with. Harold, however, says that he needs to work on his teen slang, and Tyler says that he needs to "pump his guns a little more." Ezekiel, naturally, does not understand, forcing Tyler to state it more clearly. Ezekiel understands, and eagerly accepts both of their offers to help him out in those two areas. Similarly, Geoff talks about his dilemma with Bridgette with DJ, excluding Eva from the conversation since she does all the work with rowing. DJ says that he's "got a lot going for him," since he's cool, laid-back, funny, and overall a perfect example of a "chick magnet." But he warns his friend that he's got some competition with Ezekiel; he may have screwed up on day one, but he's well made up for it, and Bridgette could possibly see the true man in him through his rustic ways, which have undoubtedly made him fairly tough and well-built. Geoff acknowledges this, and, in the Confessional, says, "Zeke, man; this...is...war." Bridgette tells Katie and Sadie about her problems with Geoff and Ezekiel, and how she knows that they are "mentally fighting over her." Katie and Sadie say that she has a tough choice to make, as Ezekiel has probably been hardened by his life on the farm, and could be pretty cool once he gets with the times. They also point out how Geoff is already a cool guy with his "happy-go-party attitude," as Sadie puts it, and is a real ladies' man. Surprisingly, Katie and Sadie seem to disagree on who they think Bridgette should hook up with, as Katie thinks it should be Ezekiel, and Sadie thinks Geoff. The two then proceed to argue over who is better, while Bridgette can only look on. In the Confessional, she says, "Note to self: Never ask those two for advice on guys ever again." Things are equally dramatic with the Gophers. As promised, Lindsay uses her charm on Trent with her excuse about getting a tan, and Trent eagerly enjoys having her head in his lap. Similarly, Chester hits on Heather, only for her to hit him back, twice. In the final canoe, Cody tries to break the ice and say, "So...what about that Heather? Pretty hot, eh?" Noah then shocks Cody with stating that Heather has formed an alliance with Lindsay, Beth, and "Chicken Boy." Cody asks if he is sure. Noah then gives a long, monotone speech that basically spells out everything they need to know about the entire alliance, including their plans, their intentions, and their being responsible for Gwen's, Owen's, and LeShawna's eliminations. Cody is absolutely taken aback, and simply stare with wide eyes. He seems quite offended at the part about Gwen's elimination, and how his friend Chester was part of it. He then simply asks Noah how he knew about this, and Noah slyly responds, "Are you kidding? You can't fool me. Trust me; I know everything." He adds that he's known about the alliance since the day it was founded. Cody then asks what they can do about it, and Noah states that their plan was to pick off the strong players of the team outside of their own alliance, one-by-one. He simply states that they have succeeded in doing so, and currently, they are the only non-alliance members left, thus leaving them with huge targets on their backs. Cody asks about Trent, and Noah states that he is protected, since they are using Lindsay and her sex appeal to convince Trent to join the alliance, even looking over at their canoe and saying, "Look at her; her head in his lap and shaking her boobs and all that. She's conning the poor sucker." When Cody seems to stare at her breasts after this, Noah tells him to snap out of it. He then proceeds to suggest that the two of them form an "Intellectual Alliance," consisting of the true brainiacs of the team: themselves. Noah states that, as much as he "strongly dislikes" Cody, he also dislikes losing. Thus, the duo reluctantly form the alliance, with Noah glaring at Cody, and with Cody himself still in shock at the news of his best friend, Chester, being a villain. When they arrive at the island, most of the following events are the same: the canoe race; Lindsay, Trent, and Cody with the quicksand; Geoff and his injury (which Ezekiel noticeably rolled his eyes at), and the teams' almost simultaneous arrival at the beach. While the teams are looking for firewood, Chester stumbles upon the idol, and picks it up, looking at it curiously. He is about to pocket it when Heather suddenly yells at him to hurry up and get with the program. Startled by her yell, he ends up tossing the idol away, where it lands right in front of Sadie. She also picks it up, seeming quite intrigued by it, and pockets it befoe returning to her team. She says in the Confessional (surprisingly, by herself) that she won't tell anyone about the idol not even Katie. When the Bass notce the Gophers' fire starting to get larger, Harold panics and, in his haste, throws all of their oars onto the fire. Although this makes a bigger fire and easily wins the fire-building task for the Bass, they are now left with no way back. Thus, the Gophers easily manage to reach the shore first, and win. Everyone on the Bass, even Ezekiel, glared at Harold hard after his royal screw-up. That night, several angry confessions were shown, including Eva, saying that she'd vote out "the scrawny nerd, without a doubt;" Ezekiel saying to the camera, "Harold...I appreciate the advice and the offer, but it's gotta be you;" and Bridgette, saying, "After what you did, my choice is obvious." Not surprisingly, the bottom two was Harold and Eva, with the latter receiving the marshmallow. It was later revealed that everybody on the team voted for Harold, and Harold was the one who voted for Eva.

Paintball Deer Hunter
At breakfast, Ezekiel is seen confessing to Tyler that he felt guilty about voting out Harold in the last Bonfire Ceremony, since he was going to help him understand teen lingo better. Tyler is able to make him feel a little better by admitting that he, too, voted for Harold. He then states that he'll be very willing to help him learn teen speak in Harold's place, in addition to helping him become stronger and more athletic. Ezekiel thanks him, still looking noticeably upset. Later, when Chris announces the challenge, Chester is ecstatic at the idea of paintballing, even though most of the others don't seem as entusiastic. He then goes on in the Confessional with a story of his very first time paintballing, as he says, "It was one of the greatest - and most painfu - days of my life! I only got shot once in the face, seven times in the back, and three times in the butt!" As Chris is preparing the equipment, Ezekiel asks what "paintballing" is. Chris then answers his question by pulling out one of the guns and demonstrating it. Despite the demonstration being at Ezekiel's expense, he seems enthusiastic once he learns that it involves guns (even if they aren't real). He then explains about all the times that he and his dad went on hunting trips with real guns, and how all of those times have given Ezekiel impeccable aim and accuracy. However, he royally screws up when he boasts several of his own kills -- right in front of Bridgette. She is mortified at the way he would kill animals, and he tries to redeem himself by saying that he mostly goes for dangerous animals such as bears. Nonetheless, she disapproves of the hunting thing, much to Geoff's pleasure and Ezekiel's dismay. Chris then splits the two teams into their groups. The hunters for the Gophers are Lindsay, Beth, Chester, and Noah, while Cody, Trent, and Heather are the deer. For the Bass, the hunters are Ezekiel, Bridgette, Geoff, and Tyler, while the deer are Katie, Sadie, Eva, and DJ. While Noah goes off on his own, Lindsay, Beth, and Chester stay together as a group and search for Heather to start their secret alliance meeting. Eva is embarassed by the deer get-up, and storms off into the woods, saying that she wants to be alone. DJ also decides to trek it out on his own, leaving Katie and Sadie together. Similarly, all three of the Gophers' deer split up, with Heather waiting for her alliance to arrive. Noah and Cody eventually rendezvous outside the old Boathouse, and discuss their plan. Noah states that they are doomed to be the next two to go unlesss they can come up with a plan to survive. He then states that their only chance lies with Trent. Even after getting some time alone with Lindsay, they could still have a chance to convince him of the truth. Cody states that he might be able to do that, since he is already friends with Trent. Noah says that that won't be good enough, and that he needs the secret weapon; the information that this alliance was responsible for Gwen's elimination. Noah says that he knows about how Trent was attracted to her even after the first day, and that this knowledge will only ensure his loyalty to them. Cody agrees, and they split up again to search for Trent. Around the same time, Lindsay, Chester, and Beth arrive at Heather's hiding place, and she states in the Confessional that she has decided that she wants to test the loyalty of her alliance members, one at a time. She first tells Chester to go get her a bag of chips from the main lodge, and he races off almost instantly to do so. She tells Lindsay and Beth to go off and continue the challenge, then meet her back at the same spot in about twenty minutes. By the time they come back, Chester has already returned with the bag. She thanks him, then sends him off to do the challenge. She then sends Lindsay and Beth off at the same time; Lindsay to get her some blueberries, and Beth to get another bag of chips. When Beth asks why, if Chester just got one for her, she replies that he had gotten a flavor that she was allergic to. Beth, with some obvious reluctance, goes off to do so. Meanwhile, Noah finds himself quite avid at paintballing, as he actually manages to sneak up on DJ and pelt him several times before the athletic DJ easily escapes and outruns him. At the same time, Geoff is talking casually with Bridgette as they walk through the wood, while Ezekiel can only hang back and watch, afraid to talk to Bridgette again after upsetting her the first time. Tyler walks alongside Zeke and tries to console him, to no avail. Geoff says a lot of funny things, and Bridgette is seen to laugh a lot and enjoy talking with him. In the Confessional, a satisfied and smug Geoff says, "Mark up several points for the Geoffster, and chock down several points for Home-School!" Later, Beth returns with the bag, and Lindsay with the berries. Heather is pleased with both of them, but notices Beth's slight annoyance. In the Confessional, she explains all of her motives, including how having been in the game this far has now weakened the loyalty of some of her members. Plus, with an alliance as large as hers, she needs to single out those who are most loyal, and those who are simply "sheep." She then simply remarks on how Beth is clearly the subject of both these sentences, and will definitely be the first to go once the team consists only of the alliance members. Suddenly, at that moment, the four Bass hunters appear. Seeing one of the enemy deer, they all immediately open fire. Both Heather and Lindsay (caught in the crossfire) are pelted, while Beth dives out of the way and retaliates with her own fire, nailing Geoff. At the same time, Chester swings out of a tree on a vine (revealing that he had been listening to the girls' entire conversation), and shoots wildly at the Bass shooters will yelping Tarzan-like calls. He manages to hit Ezekiel, Bridgette, and Geoff (but mostly Ezekiel). He manages to land perfectly on another high tree branch, and starts shooting at them from above like a sniper, hitting them endlessly and perfectly. Eventually, with two people shooting at them from behind barriers (Beth hidden behind bushes) while the four of them are considerably exposed, the Bass shooters retreat, covered in red (Gopher) paint. Chester swings back down, and a shocked (not to mention soaked) Heather is amazed by his paintballing skills. In the Confessional once more, she quickly says, "...But at least Beth kicked some serious Bass butt in that shootout! Lindsay just cowered and let them hit her! Hmm...maybe its going to be a little harder whom I'll decide to go first once we're the only ones left." Later, Cody finally manages to catch up with Trent, outside the cave, and attempts to tell him the truth about the alliance. Trent seems confused at first and doesn't understand what he means. Cody decides to take it from the top, and starts off by telling him about how Heather has formed an alliance consisting of herself, Lindsay, Beth, and Chester. At the mention of Lindsay, Trent is stunned, and initially doesn't believe Cody, but Cody quickly tells him about how Lindsay's flirting back at the canoe ride was just a part of getting him to join Heather's alliance. Trent is left speechless, but asks Cody how he knew this. Cody says that he heard it from Noah. At the mention of Noah (who Trent still dislikes since the Dodgeball game), he starts to doubt him. Cody continues on, and tells him that the alliance is strong and led by a clever mind. He says that they somehow orchestrated every elimination on the Gophers so far, besides Izzy's. The moment he says this, Trent immediately asks, "Even Gwen's?" With some reluctance, he confirms this. Trent immediately groans and facepalms. In the Confessional, he immediately goes on a hateful rant about how he feels betrayed by Lindsay and Chester, and enraged at the idea that he was about to align himself with those behind Gwen's elimination. Suddenly, when it cuts back to Cody and Trent, they hear a rustling in the bushes nearby, followed by voices. Fearing it to be the other team's hunters, they immediately dive into the cave - only to discover the sleeping bear inside, which they accidentally awaken. After being in the cave for less than two seconds, they run right back out of the cave, screaming like little girls. The bear, too tired after just waking up, does not chase after them, but they do run right into the paint-covered Bass hunters, and are pelted with paintballs. However, in yet another stroke of luck for the Gophers, Noah, Chester, and Lindsay appear out of the bushes behind the four Bass in a surprise ambush, and pelt them all over again. As the paintballs fly, the announcement comes over the intercom that the campers are to return to camp. Back at camp, Chris evaluates the teams' performances: For the Gophers, Lindsay, Heather, Cody, and Trent are mildly covered in paint, while Beth and Chester have only a few spots on them, and Noah is completely spotless. For the Bass, Geoff, Ezekiel, Tyler, and Bridgette are absolutely soaked, DJ mildly hit, and Katie, Sadie, and Eva are absolutely clean. Despite the Bass having more clean members, Chris explains how he thinks the Gophers were superior in the fact that four of the Bass (Ezekiel, Tyler, Geoff, and Bridgette) are more paint-covered than all of the other contestants combined. Also, the fact that several of the Bass who were hit weren't even deer made them even more pathetic. Thus, despite much protest from the Bass, Chris declares the Gophers as the winners. Prior to the Bonfire Ceremony, multiple confessions are shown. The first is Geoff, who almost instantly votes for Ezekiel. Similarly, Ezekiel votes for Geoff. Tyler also votes for Geoff to help his friend Ezekiel out, since he thinks that he deserves Bridgette more, and since he believes that Geoff is becoming more of a jerk towards Ezekiel. Bridgette is then shown saying that she obviously can't vote for Eva, Katie, or Sadie since they all did the best. She doesn't want to vote for Ezekiel or Geoff, because she wants to give both of them a chance. She doesn't want to vote for DJ, since he's a nice guy. Thus, this leaves only Tyler, whom she votes for due to him not being much of a friend, and for doing poorly in the challenge. DJ comes to the same conclusion in his own confessional. At the Bonfire Ceremony, Chris gives marshmallows to the four who didn't receive any votes: DJ, Eva, Katie, and Sadie. When it's down to Geoff, Tyler, Bridgette, and Ezekiel. Geoff looks at Ezekiel and does the slashing motion across his neck. Coincidentally, Geoff receives the next marshmallow. He starts to slowly and tauntingly eat his marshmallow in front of Ezekiel, but then chokes on it when Ezekiel is the next to be called. He quickly returns the slow eating motion with his own marshmallow, infuriating Geoff. It is down to Tyler and Bridgette. Chris explains that, according to several of the confessionals, both of them are in the bottom two because of their poor performance in the challenge, not to mention their extreme clumsiness. However, the entire Killer Bass is shocked when Tyler receives the last marshmallow, and Bridgette is eliminated. The remaining Confessionals, those of Katie, Sadie, and Eva, are then shown. Katie and Sadie believed that, although Bridgette was a great person, she still did terrible in the challenge and her clumsiness had made certain challenges tougher for them in the past. In addition, she was the unintentional cause of the war between Ezekiel and Geoff. They refer to how that technically ended up starting an argument between the two of them, which they hate to do. Thus, they believe that she was the reason for all these arguments between various Bass members. Even though this is obviously a terrible reason to vote for Bridgette, they both still do so. And Eva votes for her because of the same first two reasons as Katie and Sadie, and also because she already had a strong dislike of Bridgette, due to her "surfer girl, vegetarian, save the environment, love all animals" attitude, because she already cannot stand those "hippie" types. As Bridgette leaves, both Geoff and Ezekiel race down to meet her at the end of the Dock. However, Tyler sticks his foot out and trips Geoff as he is running, giving Zeke the full lead. He reaches the end of the Dock and apologizes to Bridgette for upsetting her earlier. He also states that he had absolutely nothing to do with her elimination, and has no idea how it happened. She forgives him, and apologizes to him as well for treating him the way she did on the first day, just because of the way he was raised. Bridgette puts her hand on Ezekiel's shoulder and says that he is a great friend, and she'll be rooting for him the whole way. He thanks her, and she leaves. Geoff attempts to make a last-minute goodbye to her as well, scrambling down the Dock, stumbling and nearly falling several times, and babbling wildly like a buffoon the whole way. But by the time he reaches Ezekiel, Bridgette is already in the Boat of Losers, sailing off into the night. The distraught Geoff collapsed onto all fours, moaning in agony. Ezekiel simply looks down with little sympathy, then turns and returns to the rest of the Bass. The episode ends with Chris telling them all to wash up before they go to bed, due to all the paint on most of them.

If You Can't Take the Heat...
When Chris announced the cooking challenge, Ezekiel, for the third time, was excited about the challenge, saying that he had gained an abundance of cooking skills while on the farm. On the Gophers, hardly anyone else knows about cooking, except for Noah. The two teams thus come up with various recipes. Noah decides to make his own special version of fettuccini alfredo, complete with a side of smoked trout and pinches of parmesan spice. The team is generally shocked by his revealed knowledge of fine cuisines (and, albeit, fairly clueless as to what he is saying), but they ultimately decide to go along with his idea, with great reluctance on the part of Heather and her alliance. Thus, Noah takes over as the temporary team captain. Beth explains to him that they don't have any of the stuff they'll need to make any of that, but Noah remains confident and tells her to trust him. On the Bass, Ezekiel is unanimously elected as the team leader for the day (with the exceptions of Geoff and Eva), and he proceeds to lay out his plans of a more rustic and fairly common meal: A large steak, cooked medium rare, with corn on the cob and a fruit salad as the sides. The two teams start off fairly well, with what appears to be perfect teammwork on both sides. However, each team has its monkey wrenches. Geoff states his plan in the Confessional: feeling that Ezekiel was somehow responsible for Bridgette's elimination, and for rubbing it in his face (although he did neither of these), he plans to ruin the meal without anyone else knowing. Thus, Ezekiel, as the head chef, will get the blame and be voted off. Thus, he plans to sabotage the two main courses of the meal: the steak and the salad. When Ezekiel sends him off to go get some fruit for the salad, Geoff does successfully find some pineapples. He then manages to sneak off into the woods and eventually finds what he is looking for: poison ivy. He is then seen with several of the prize fruits, including the pineapple and regular apples, carefully opening up the fruits and sticking the ivy inside. Later, he is told to take the steak out of the oven after it is done. While he does the Bass are. Heather admits that she does not like taking orders from Noah, considering that he is an enemy, and a very intelligent one at that. However, she is willing to do anything she can to win and avoid possibly losing an alliance member at the next Bonfire Ceremony. She says that she at least wants to wait until the merge, then she an her alliance will be free of their "Gopher bonds." Finally, the two teams present. Chris is pleased with the Gophers meal, stating that it is absolutely fantastic, and five-star, but maybe too fancy for him. When he sees the Bass' meal, he says that they look promising, as he loves a good steak. He takes the first bite of the steak, and immediately spews it out, panting heavily and hard and gasping for water.

Predictions:
OK, normally I don't like to make predictions, but it's kind of like with my "Fictional Time on the Show" section above; everyone else is doing it, so I thought, "Eh, why not give it a try?"

So here's my predictions for the upcoming season, Total Drama World Tour. I am making these predictions based on all "evidence" gathered so far from both the original trailer and the CN teaser, as well as maintain consistency with all of the cliche patterns that the show always has, such as: the whole boy-girl-boy-girl thing, the amount of times each team loses in a row, and the members of a couple always being eliminated back-to-back. These predictions are also made based on the assumption that no one who originally did not qualify for the season (such as Eva) will be debuting at all (I honestly don't think anyone will). (Note: I will not be including possible reasons for eliminations, or episodes eliminated in, because that's going too far):
