X-Treme Torture

'''Chris has the contestants paired off for the next immunity contest, a series of Extreme Sports Challenges. Somebody sees an unexpected accident and gets an eyeful. Because of it, this person is voted off the island, but still gets some sugar.'''

Recap
The episode starts with the bear sneaking into camp and stealing some of the marshmallows while the campers are deeply asleep. They are woken up by a plane flying overhead. It's Chris who lands in the camp to announce the "X-Treme" challenges for the day: X-Treme Sofa Bed Skydiving, X-Treme Rodeo Moose Riding, and X-Treme Seadoo Water skiing. The winning team not only wins invincibility, but use of a mobile shower. Owen is unimpressed, but Heather, desperate for a proper shower, threatens him to perform; in fear, he then chokes on a marshmallow he was eating. Harold hits Owen on the back of the head, causing him to spit it up, hitting Heather in the head and making her fall down.

After breakfast, Owen is helping Chef clean up by eating all the leftovers, but accidentally eats a note left on one of the plates, belching it out at Chef who reads it. The letter is a haiku addressed to "the girl with smoldering eyes", and Chef drops it on the table where Gwen and Bridgette pick it up and read it. They argue about which of their respective boyfriends could have written it, trading insults about the other one's lack of intellect. Finally, they agree to bet two nights' dessert on who the poem was written for.

In the first challenge, Trent and DJ are brought to 5,000 ft altitude in Chris' airplane and have to sky dive to the beach, where they must land on a sofa bed; the rest of their teammates will be on the ground, trying to maneuver the sofa beds into position beneath them. Before take off, Gwen makes the first subtle attempt to determine if Trent wrote the letter, but only gets blank stares from everyone around. Up in the plane, Chris hands Trent and DJ a set of papers to sign, telling them that they're organ donor forms for a "cannibalism challenge" that he wants to pitch to the producers. He then notes that they're over the drop point and it's time to jump. Back on the ground, the Gophers are having a tough time moving the sofa bed, when they notice Owen is sleeping on the bed; unable to awake him, they paint a bright red target on his butt and leave him there to give Trent a "soft" landing. Trent is having doubts about jumping, but DJ gives him a reassuring pat on the back that accidentally pushes him out of the plane. In a panic, Trent forgets to open his parachute, and lands face first on the beach, leaving a deep impression in the sand.

Back in the air, DJ tries to psyche himself up to jump, but is still terrified, trying to remember to pull the cords: first the blue cord, then red cord. On the way down, he also panics, and pulls the red cord, then the blue. Meanwhile, the Bass are trying to maneuver their sofa bed into place, and Bridgette is asking Geoff about romance, but getting all sorts of brutish answers. They notice DJ floating to the ground and race to get the sofa bed under him. He lands safely, winning the first challenge for the Killer Bass, but while sitting on the bed, it closes back into a sofa, trapping DJ inside it. Trent, on the other hand, is now in a body cast, being wheeled around by "Nurse Hatchet" (Chef in a female nurse's uniform). With Trent nearly on his deathbed, Gwen asks if he has anything he'd like to tell her, expecting poetic last words from him. Trent however, simply asks if his hair's messed up, leaving Gwen stunned in disbelief and Bridgette basking in the unlikelihood that Trent was the author of the love note.

Then, it's on to the second challenge where Geoff is up for the Bass, and has to ride The Great Canadian Bucking Moose like a bronco bull. On the way, Bridgette makes another attempt to determine whether or not Geoff is the writer of the love letter, when Geoff shows her the tattoo on his butt. The moose is not pleased that Geoff is standing on him with his pants down, and when Chef opens the pen, he bucks Geoff off almost immediately, chucking him into a nearby pile of stinky socks. Chris calls for an instant replay of that, and focuses on how bad his makeup job is, oblivious to Geoff flying naked above him.

It is now LeShawna's turn for the Gophers. Even though she is intimidated by the large moose, who breaks out of the pen, LeShawna hangs on to it as it roughly tries to throw her off while Gwen and Bridgette, who are still arguing over their boyfriends, deciding that the love letter was never for either of them and redouble their efforts at finding the source. The moose passes them again, smashes through a bush, and stomps over the marshmallows that the bear was going to eat, with LeShawna still hanging on, grabbing a point for the Gophers.

Chris announces the third challenge, the X-Treme Seadoo Water ski Challenge. The goal is to water ski behind a jet ski, driven by a member of the opposing team, collecting flags for points; the trick is that the course is actually done on land in a mud track, not in the water. Harold skis behind Heather, and Lindsay skis behind Duncan. Lindsay announces that she's ready, while wearing a very fetch bikini that she mentioned earlier. Heather feels a sense of despair, worrying that Lindsay won't take the challenge seriously, which will cost them the shower reward. Harold expects an easy victory, and in the confessional he talks about how his personal status will rise. Outside, Gwen and Bridgette are counting off the guys who might have written the love poem when overconfident Harold emerges from the outhouse, greets them, and trips over his pants; they count him out, and narrow it to Owen or DJ, as Duncan has a crush on Courtney. Bridgette tries asking DJ a question about poetry, who rebuffs it by asking about odd questions from left field.

Heather starts the race with such a jolt that Harold is yanked off his skis, and is being dragged through the mud; despite the pain and dirt, Harold is still able to capture the flags on the course, and grabs all five. Chris tells Heather that she has to bring Harold to the finish line or be disqualified, but she has other ideas, and plans to dump Harold so the Bass get no points. Heather turns around and pulls out a knife to cut Harold's line, but while her back is turned, she passes a rogue tree branch that hooks on and tears off her shirt, leaving her topless right in front of Harold and the entire viewing audience. She realizes immediately that her boobies were exposed, much to Harold's happiness. Heather tries to cover her boobies while Harold spaces out and crashes into some rocks, losing the challenge. Since Heather forgot to drive the jet ski, she crashes it and is flung into the air, landing on the bear, interrupting his latest marshmallow theft. Harold is left a mangled, muddy mess, but satisfyingly moans "boobies". Gwen tries Owen, asking if he's going to use the shower so that he's ready for anyone special; but he dismisses the shower and Gwen's question.

Back at the track, it's Lindsay's turn, and she has no trouble skiing in the mud, grabbing the first flag on a ramp and performing a back flip on the way down. Duncan tries to speed up to get her to lose her balance, but Lindsay keeps going, collecting all the flags. Duncan doesn't want to cross the finish line and hand victory to the Gophers, so he deliberately crashes, sending himself flying into a tree; Lindsay maintains her balance and her momentum carries her to the finish, winning the challenge for the Gophers. She passes &quot;Doug&quot; and tells him that she really wanted that shower. Geoff, who is stinking from the sock pile earlier, laments that he really needed that shower. Gwen and Bridgette are distressed that they didn't discover the source of the love letter, when LeShawna passes by and picks up the letter; Chris sees this and comments that LeShawna has already received several other secret love letters. Though they now know who the letters are for, they still don't know who wrote them.

At the campfire ceremony, Bridgette and DJ receive marshmallows right off the bat; Chris then pitches a marshmallow to a distant Geoff, who is sitting in a tree with a skunk because of his rancid smell. This leaves an irritated Duncan and a placated Harold for the last marshmallow. Chris taunts both of them, which gets on Duncan's nerves, and he confronts Chris about it, saying "the chick was determined". Chris then gives Duncan the final marshmallow, sending Harold to the Dock of Shame. Harold doesn't seem to mind, as he grabs his stuff and heads for the boat. On the boat, he waxes poetic above loving, losing, and seeing "boobies"; he then reveals to the shock of everyone who came to see him off (especially Gwen and Bridgette) that he was in fact LeShawna's secret admirer. The pair run together and kiss on the dock before Chef drags Harold into the Boat of Losers.

On the dock, Geoff asks LeShawna if Harold saw her "boobies", and Owen asks if they can see them, getting a loud "heck, no". LeShawna then wonders whose boobies did Harold see, and tries to call out to him. Behind them, Heather walks out of her shower, and LeShawna confronts her; Heather says she would never show Harold her boobs on purpose, but LeShawna isn't happy, and chases after a screaming Heather to enact her revenge.

 * Chris: (while doing the recap) The Bass smelled something fishy when Courtney was suddenly voted off. Confession cams revealed that it was Harold who tampered with the votes to get back at Duncan for torturing him, which seems a bit unfair. I mean... hello; he's a bully. That's what they do. Birds gotta fly; fishes gotta swim, dude. Let a player play.
 * Trent:: (to DJ) You know what they say on Blackcomb Mountain, bro. Best glimpse of heaven's on the way into hell! Let's do this!
 * Gwen: Tell you what Betty, I'll bet you two nights' dessert that the poem was for me.
 * Chris: (to Trent and DJ in plane) If you could just fill these out! (pointing to forms)
 * Bridgette: You know what's really romantic?
 * (Trent is on a stretcher in a body cast)
 * Chris: Wait a minute, pause that. Let's just rewind that shot and run it super slow-mo. (rewind, then plays in slow-motion) I'm embarrassed. (scribbles on his picture with a marker, oblivious to the fact that Geoff was flying naked above him) This is so degrading; I mean, just look at me! Can we just please get a decent budget together for hair and makeup? I look like I just fell out of bed. Geez!
 * Harold: (in confessional) This is it. We're tied for the win. Bad-to-the-bone Duncan is driving Lindsay. I'm skiing for the Bass. Winning is inevitable. Good-bye wedgies, wet willies, and toilet face plunges. Hello: (Puts on sunglasses) "Dirty Harold"!
 * Chris: Here's the road rules. Oh, wait. There are no rules, which means, this is going to be awesome!
 * Bridgette: So... read any good poems lately?
 * Chris: Ready, set... ride it like it's sweeps week...! Go!
 * Heather: (in confessional) I knew I couldn't let that little dorkwad win. So I decided to cut him loose. (back on the track, she takes out knife) Game over, guppy!
 * Harold: (after hitting the rock) Boobies.
 * Lindsay: (talking to Duncan, who is stuck in a tree) Sorry about that, "Doug"! I just really wanted that shower.
 * Gwen and Bridgette: LeShawna's the crush girl?!
 * Chris: As you know, if you do not receive a marshmallow you will be forced to walk the Dock of Shame, and you can never, ever return to camp! (brings out two marshmallows) Bridgette and DJ, you guys are safe. (with a loud-speaker to Geoff, who's sitting far away in a tree with some skunks) Geoff, you're safe too! (throws him the marshmallow)
 * Harold: Farewell, Total Drama Island. I loved, I lost, and I saw boobies. What more could a man ask for?
 * Chef: (in confessional) LeShawna and Harold?! I was as shocked as you. But you didn't read the letters… (chuckles) Mmm, spicy...
 * Geoff: So, Harold saw your boobies?
