Truth or Laser Shark

'''As the competition narrows down to twelve, the campers must compete in the first part of their challenge; a tell-all trivia game which ends up embarrassing B|several contestants. Later, the host forces them to participate in the second part of the challenge, which ends up being more difficult than the first. Ironically, a nonathletic camper ends up winning the physical-oriented challenge for their team, sending the other team to the elimination ceremony. In the end, someone becomes too focused on their image and is quickly voted off.'''

Plot
The episode opens with all the campers' morning routines; Dawn hung upside-down talking to a bluebird while Dakota moans that she needs more sleep. Zoey asks how Anne Maria smuggled in so many hair products, to which she reveals they're all stored in her pouffe. Mike talks to Chester in his sleep, while Cameron turns his sleeping bag into his protective bubble. Brick and Jo both go for a morning run and then get competitive of who ran more or harder after crashing into each other. Scott, however, spent the morning looking for the immunity idol, in order to force his team to lose and eliminate them one by one; Sam and Lightning catch him coming back in the cabin, but he tells them he was making out with one of the girls. Chris gathers everyone to start the day's competition - before breakfast, if Lightning's protest is any indication - and both Sam's video game console and Dakota's cell phone get confiscated from them, to much complaining. The competition takes place out in the lake in the form of a quiz. Chris read out an embarrassing fact of one of the teammates, and the victim had to buzz in and confess; doing so earned a point. Failure to own up had the whole team dunked in the lake, where a legged-shark now dwells. If a team was dunked, the opposite team could guess whose fact it was; they get a point if right, or dunked if wrong. It is revealed that Sam farted on his first and only date, Brick wet his pants on the first day of high school, and B's real name is Beverly. However, after only three questions, the players start bickering, making the competition get called off.

Throughout the day, Sam tries to bond and get closer with Dakota. Dakota, however, rejects all of his advances. The second competition is an elaborate relay obstacle course in a mud pit. By way of batons, the teams were given their team names: a mutant maggot and radioactive rat. During the relay, we meet another of Mike's personalities, a gymnast named Svetlana. Scott, despite being in the lead, intentionally slowed down their team by not immediately handing off the rat to B. Despite everything, though, the challenge came down to Dakota and Cameron to land in a giant catcher's mitt surrounded by bats. Dakota got distracted by the photographers, allowing Cameron, tangled up in the rope, to get dropped right in the mitt and winning it for his team. Before elimination, Sam tries to make a case for keeping Dakota, but because she got distracted, and perhaps because of Dawn's warning that something will happen to her if she stays on the island, she gets eliminated. Sam bemoans her loss in the confessional, looking forward being able to make awkward passes at her all season and getting rejected. Before Dakota is hurled off the island, Chris asks if she has any final words, but before Dakota could really say anything, she gets hurled. Chris then signs off for the episode.

Quotes
Dakota: (to Dawn) Will you keep it down? If I don't get my beauty sleep, I'll lose it! Dawn: Yes. Because your need for fame is really a depressed cry for love. Dakota: Who told you that? My therapist?! Dawn: I can read people's auras, and it looks like someone threw up on yours. Anne Maria: (referring to her hairdryer) Easy! I stuck it in my pouf. (takes out a can of hairspray and starts spraying her pouf) Brick: 8K. Jo: I mean, I did an 8K warm-up, then 5K at a full sprint. Brick: My entire run was uphill. Jo: Yeah, uphill with my eyes shut!

Duh. Dakota: And I haven't had enough beauty sleep. Sam: Come on, you look - Dakota: (takes off sunglasses) Sam: Great sons of Orion! B: (stays silent) Anne Maria: You don't talk much, do you?
