Haute Camp-ture

Recap
In this special episode of Total Drama Island, Chris heads for "Playa Des Losers", the luxury lakeside hotel where the voted off campers have been sequestered, waiting for the finale. At the hotel, we see the losers living in the lap of luxury: Trent and DJ are lounging on deck chairs, Eva is weight lifting, Justin is diving into a pool, and Katie, Sadie and Noah are at an in-pool bar. Katie and Sadie are swooning over Justin when Sadie falls in the water, splashing Noah; she then feels something bite her in the water, which turns out to be Izzy.

In the hot tub, Geoff and Bridgette are making out, with Ezekiel looking on; the home schooled boy is wearing sunglasses and a golden "Z" necklace, and has taken up rapper-slang. On the deck, Trent and DJ are relaxing, and Bunny hops onto DJ's stomach, only to be snatched by an eagle, and then dropped onto the barbecue. Cody is trying to get a suntan, but isn't using any sunscreen or tanning lotion, and is starting to burn. Next up, Lindsay and Tyler are seen poolside, and Lindsay talks about how awesome it is being a loser and being with Tyler; she kisses Tyler, then thinks for a second before asking which one is Tyler. Back at the water bar, Izzy has found someone's bikini bottom, and Katie points out that it's Izzy's.

Back at the deck, Courtney is furious; she knows that Harold rigged the vote that got her kicked off, and is going to give Harold a sound thrashing, going so far as to rip out a lamp post to use as a weapon. Hiding in the bushes behind her is the cheat in question, admitting that he was wrong for what he did to Courtney, but he needed to get back at Duncan somehow. Unable to go out in public, Harold hasn't been able to get anything to eat and is starving; so he calls out to Trent for some baloney.

The memories continue with Lindsay bad mouthing Heather, Noah complaining about being the third person voted off, and Katie and Sadie about their first fight. Courtney continues her rant by saying she's going to sue the show for not rectifying her unfair ejection, and that the rest of the campers are witnesses, but no one else cares and everyone denies seeing anything. Ezekiel tells Courtney to let it go, and she brains him with the lamp post; Lindsay then tells Courtney that she would've lost in another episode since no one really likes her.

At the food table, Eva says that her experience sucked, but her anger management issues have improved a bit; then slaps Lindsay with a steak when she asks if she's Tyler. Noah says that the show was completely uneventful, but Izzy points out that he kissed a guy; they get into a "did-didn't" argument when Trent joins in and says he totally did, namely Cody, while they were asleep in the Awakeathon challenge, to which responds with "No comment." Lindsay comes by and tells everyone that her picture is in "Star Stalker" magazine.

Chris asks Trent if he has anything to say to any of the campers left in the contest, and he wants to tell Gwen that he's rooting for her and misses her; he also hopes that she's over the whole kissing Heather thing. Izzy jumps in and says that if she were Gwen, Trent would be seriously maimed. After chewing Trent out, Izzy says she has to go to the bathroom; but instead of leaving, she simply goes in the pool, earning gross looks from everyone else, especially those in the pool with her.

Afterwards, Chris starts asking everyone what they think of the five campers left in the contest. Everyone pretty unanimously hates Heather, especially Eva, who wants the scum-sucking, back-stabbing witch to kiss her butt. Izzy thinks Heather is a total psycho, Courtney disapproves of Heather reading Gwen's diary, and Harold thinks she's really scary, before Courtney finally catches him and starts beating him with the lamp post. Trent says he never wants to meet another person like Heather, and Lindsay calls her mean, really mean. Ezekiel and Katie think she's bossy, Beth loved telling her off, and Sadie wonders how she got this far if no one liked her.

Courtney says that she wants Duncan to win, and though she tries to hide her true feelings, it's obvious to everyone that she likes him. DJ, patting a bandaged Bunny, talks about how tough Duncan is and how he wrestled a grizzly bear; he then slams the table that Bunny was on, sending him flying. Harold is up in a tree with the lamp post wrapped around him, talking about how he hates Duncan, and all the nasty tricks he played on him at the camp; after calling him an idiot, Harold falls out of the tree. Bridgette then says that Duncan is not that tough, and the Courtney told her about his sweet side. Lindsay didn't like him for his abuse of deer and trees.

Katie and Sadie talk about how fun Owen was, though he was pretty mean in dodge ball.

Trent reconfirms that he likes Gwen. Courtney agrees that Gwen is smart, but isn't a "team player", comparing Gwen to herself and suggesting that she should be in Gwen's place. Noah tells her to get over it, and Courtney throws her drink at him, knocking him into the water. Lindsay says that Gwen was harsh sometimes, but in the end, she played an awesome joke on Heather, namely planting Harold's red ant farm in her bed. Bridgette says that she liked Gwen and LeShawna because of how nice they were to her when the teams merged, and wanted either of them to win; she then hits Ezekiel who was creeping up on her under the water.

Lindsay then wants to talk about LeShawna. Harold says that at first he thought LeShawna was really loud, but he soon realized that she was his soul mate. Courtney has nothing bad to say about LeShawna, and she excels at saying bad things about people. Katie and Sadie think LeShawna is the best, and Noah tells her they weren't even on the same team as LeShawna, added to the fact that he and LeShawna hate each other.

Later that evening, the losers meet by the pool to discuss who they think should win, Cody has a severe sun burn, and Bunny falls from the sky into Lindsay's lap, who asks if he's Tyler. Chris arrives and tells the losers that they will be voting off the next camper on Total Drama Island.

Katie and Sadie agree on LeShawna, because they think it would be cool for her to join them. Courtney argues the logic and tells them that if they like LeShawna, then they shouldn't vote for her; however, in saying LeShawna's name, Courtney is counted as a third vote for LeShawna. Harold, still with the lamp post wrapped around him, is incensed, thinking Courtney is trying to get back at him through LeShawna like how he got at Duncan through her; he starts cat fighting with Courtney, and they fall in the pool. Lindsay's up next, and she promises the others that she won't vote for LeShawna, but again, saying LeShawna's name counts as a vote, and she now has four votes. DJ calls her out, but Lindsay thinks DJ is voting for her, so she corrects him by saying he has to vote for someone on the island, like LeShawna, racking up another vote for LeShawna. Izzy screams at everyone to not say "LeShawna", which is vote six. A nearby parrot then says the name "LeShawna", bringing the total to seven. Trent argues that vote doesn't count since it the parrot has no idea who "LeShawna" is; of course this counts as vote eight. The parrot repeats "LeShawna", giving LeShawna nine votes.

On Total Drama Island, a shocked LeShawna is dragged to the Boat of Losers and tossed on board by Chef.

Then a sled lands on the mound of snow and then an Eskimo lands on the sled) Lindsay: Are you Tyler?

Lindsay: Are you Tyler? (Eva throws a steak on Lindsay's face)

 * Sadie: If none of us even like her, how did Heather make it to the final? Eva: (from a distance) 'Cause she's a back-stabbing little witch, that's why!


 * Harold: Duncan. I hate that guy. He made me pee my pants. He drew on my face with a marker. He strung my underwear up a flag pole and put hot sauce in them and then fed them to me for lunch in an underwear sandwich. He's beyond annoying. Idiot!

 * DJ: I don't think anyone's giving Duncan enough credit. He woke up from a monster nap and helped us win the dodge ball challenge. Geoff: OK, that's true. That was some sick prison strategy he pulled out of his butt. Eva: He had all five of you wailing on one opponent at the same time. I like his style.


 * Harold: You're just voting off my girlfriend to spite me! (starts cat-fighting with Courtney) Courtney: Oh! Let go of me, you big geek! (they fall in the pool) Noah: Hehehe... Excellent.
