Cameron and Scott

This article focuses on the interactions between Cameron and Scott.

Overview
Cameron and Scott had little interaction at the start of the series, as they were on different teams, however their conflict was briefly foreshadowed in Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!. Even while they are on different teams Cameron quickly becomes aware that Scott is an untrustworthy person, their conflict escalates when Scott is placed on his team in Runaway Model. In order to get rid of him, Cameron formed alliances with several other campers. After a few unsuccessful attempts (due to Scott possessing both the McLean-Brand Chris Head and invincibility at the same time), Cameron was finally able to get rid of Scott with the help of Zoey in Eat, Puke and Be Wary.

Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!
Their conflict is briefly foreshadowed, as when Cameron almost drowned after they fell into the water, Scott doesn't give him any aid, simply swimming past him and calling Cameron a "spaz."

A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste
With Scott now on his team, Cameron immediately becomes aware of his evil nature, although he initially keeps it to himself. When Scott suggests going through the right tunnel because “it’s the right path”, Cameron and Zoey awkwardly look at each other in response to Scott’s idiocy. In exchange for hiding his secret to Zoey, Cameron asks Mike to form an alliance with him to get rid of Scott, as he doesn't trust him.

The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean
Cameron and Mike try to get Zoey to side with them and fail, as Zoey believes that Scott has a sweet side (not knowing he is only pretending). Later, Cameron and Mike glare at Scott for tricking them into digging at the wrong site. Meanwhile, Scott knows that the alliance between the two is a threat to him, but, at the same time, suspects they are hiding something. He then learns from Cameron that Mike suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder. Later that night, Cameron and Mike vote for Scott, but fail because he has the McLean-Brand Chris Head, thus he is saved from elimination.

Grand Chef Auto
At the start of the episode Cameron approaches Scott and begs him not to reveal Mike's secret, but Scott tricks him into attaining more information (such as how to bring out Vito), and mockingly assures him he wasn't a "squealer" like Cameron was. Scott hadn't lied, as he doesn't reveal Mike's disorder to Zoey, but instead uses it to blackmail Mike into helping him for the entire episode. At the elimination ceremony, Cameron was shocked that Scott chose Mike to be eliminated, successfully breaking their alliance.

Eat, Puke and Be Wary
Cameron holds a secret meeting with Zoey to discuss their plan to eliminate Scott. Scott overhears and catches Cameron in one of his snares, hurling him across the island. Later, when Chris is caught by Scott's snare, he blames it on Cameron in order to seem innocent. During the cooking challenge, Scott attempts to manipulate Cameron into an alliance with him in order to eliminate Lightning. Cameron, while he agrees that Lightning is a very strong player, he declines the offer. Both Cameron and Scott make the same dish, toxic mushroom quiche. However, while Cameron's quiche looks fine enough to be eaten, Scott's was terrible, the quiche being green in color and having an eyeball in it. When Chef made the contestants to eat their own dish, Scott switches his quiche with Cameron's while he is distracted. This makes Scott the winner of the first part of the challenge. At the end of the episode however, Cameron won the challenge and he and Zoey manage to eliminate Scott in a "2-1-1" vote.

Brain vs. Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown
Cameron seems concerned about Scott's current state after he took the Hurl of Shame and is placed in a mechanical suit to live and didn't laugh like the other contestants did. It is presumed that Scott supports Cameron over Lightning during the finale. However, when Cameron got hit by an explosion during the challenge, Scott made a sign of approval turning on the green light of his Trauma Machine.

In the main cast picture, Scott is seen lifting Cameron by his hoodie with an angry expression.

Evil Dread
Cameron triggers a spring board trap and is flung into the air. Scott laughs at him until Cameron flies right into him, knocking both of them to the ground. Cameron then runs away terrified while Scott gives him a threatening glare.

You Regatta Be Kidding Me
Scott intimidates Cameron while they are in the Spa Hotel by saying that just because Sierra's gone doesn't mean that he's safe. During the challenge, Scott (along with Duncan) join Cameron and Zoey on their raft (as it was the only one left afloat). Due to falling behind Cameron comes up with the idea of using Scott as bait to attract Fang (by pushing him in the water and holding him up by a stick). The plan initially succeeds and Fang pulls the raft faster, however when Zoey leaves Cameron, he is left holding Scott up on his own and fails after a while causing Scott to get bitten. After Scott escapes Fang he pushes Cameron into the water as revenge, only to discover Fang wasn't interested in eating Cameron. He reasons that the shark was "wanted a meal not a snack". He continues to force Cameron to push the raft himself. That night, Scott voted for Cameron for that reason, and Cameron voted for Scott because he knew Scott was now angry with him.

Zeek And Ye Shall Find
As a plan to manipulate Scott and Courtney's new relationship, Mal suggests that Cameron should kiss Courtney and blame it on her. Cameron, although skeptical at first about being beaten up by Scott, kisses her and the plan works how it was intended. Scott pins the entire kiss on Courtney and doesn't confront Cameron about it afterwards, although the latter was eliminated before Scott figured out what actually happened.

Trivia

 * This single conflict is directly responsible for the formation of three separate alliances.
 * Contrary to most antagonists who form multiple alliances themselves, Scott is the first antagonist to have several alliances formed against him, all of them from Cameron.
 * This conflict is comparable to the conflict between Alejandro and Cody as they both involve a manipulative season antagonist taking advantage of a physically weak, intellectual competitor. Also both conflicts were briefly foreshadowed at the early on before later escalating.
 * Both left the show with serious injuries at their first elimination, which facilitated the use of a wheelchair and full-body cast.
