[edit] Recap
With the other campers sleeping, Duncan wakes up and starts doing a few push-ups, but stops to sniff, then he sees Harold's dirty underwear inches from him. He reacts and asks Harold to stop leaving his underwear around the cabin. Harold denies the underwear is his even though DJ points out his mom sewed his name on them, and he is the only one who wears briefs, and as Harold leaves to take a shower, Duncan, Geoff and DJ decide to teach Harold a lesson.
Later, Chris tells the assembled campers that the challenges the teams will face will be cooking a three course meal, with each team having a head chef, and serve it to Chris for tasting and judging. Geoff suggests an Italian themed meal for his team and he is nominated to be the chef for them. Heather nominates herself as chef for the team and in the confessional booth, Heather says she had to take the leadership role as everybody else on her team are pretty useless.
The Killer Bass team split up into three teams of two though Courtney is reluctant to work with Duncan and rants about Duncan's bad traits in the confessional booth. Back in the guy's cabin, Geoff secretly picks up one of Harold's used briefs with a stick before going back to the kitchen and signaling DJ, who deliberately spills a bucket of water on Harold. Harold says, "Smooth move, Dorkahontas." and Geoff says Harold better change. He heads back to the cabin to change while the team struggles to get their meal made with LeShawna and Heather clashing over what is to be made. Back in the guy's cabin, Harold digs out a skimpy pair of thong underwear to change into.
Elsewhere, Owen is bringing a crate of oranges back to the kitchen when he bumps into Heather making him wobble, slips on an orange and crashes into a couple of more oranges, gasping. Heather declares Owen to go back to the truck and bring more oranges. While Owen is getting the oranges, he accidentally attracts bees in a nearby hive above him. Back in the Killer Bass kitchen, Geoff tries to make small talk with Bridgette but fails miserably by comparing her to "Evan's really hot mom". In the Gophers kitchen, Owen, covered in red welts from the bees, enters and tosses the crate of oranges in Trent's direction with the crate knocking Trent to the floor. In the confessional, Heather says everything is going perfectly despite Owen getting stung by the bees and Trent being unable to continue due to his concussion.
Back in the Bass kitchen, Duncan and Courtney quibble but are interrupted by Harold entering wearing his thong underwear with nothing over them and wanting to know who took all of his shorts. Chris pops in and sees Harold in his thong underwear and shudders. He reminded them they had three hours left. LeShawna and Heather soon start fighting again. Elsewhere, Harold is told by the guys to go back to the cabin for a pair of underwear and shorts but is unaware the guys have soaked the underwear with hot sauce and when he puts them on, he yells "My biscuits are burning!" and plunges into the lake shortly afterward.
Shortly thereafter, Heather, in a confessional, describes talking to Lindsay as something similar to talking to an eggplant. In the kitchen, Heather shows Lindsay and Gwen how to make a flambé desert but her attempt results in the dessert being badly burned and Heather's eyebrows burned away. Heather and LeShawna argue some more with LeShawna, in a confessional, vowing that someone has to teach Heather a little respect.
On the Killer Bass's side, Harold enters the kitchen wearing pajamas but still refuses to acknowledge leaving his underwear around the cabin. Harold takes a bite out of a sandwich that Geoff offered him and Harold discovers his underwear in the sandwich and Geoff says they'll return his clothes when Harold admits to what he's been doing.
Outside, Owen, sent by Heather to get her make-up bag, steps on a rake while trying to avoid the bees, falls down and gets stung repeatedly by the bees. A few minutes later, Owen, swollen and bloated from stings, tosses the bag in Heather's direction but LeShawna intercepts it. She tosses it to Beth, who tosses it to Lindsay. LeShawna says "In the fridge!" to Lindsay, while Heather places her hand for Lindsay to put in the bag. She doesn't obey Heather and tosses the bag in the walk-in freezer and when Heather runs in after it, LeShawna closes the door behind her and locks her inside.
In the Bass kitchen, Courtney and Duncan continue to argue and even throw food at each other. In a confessional, Duncan says Courtney drives him crazy and he digs that in a woman. In her own confessional, Courtney dismisses the idea that she and Duncan are attracted to each other at some length.
A short time later, Chris prepares to judge the meals with Beth setting the idol she took from Boney Island on the table during preparations as decoration. Owen is told by his Gopher team mates to guard the food before it is served even as Heather continues to shiver in the freezer. Owen's hunger overwhelms his thinking and he wind up devouring most of the rib platter.
Elsewhere, Chris gives the meal prepared by the Bass a score of fifteen. However, the Gophers meal elicits a score of two points for the little scrap of ribs Chris eats which leaves the score fifteen to eleven for the Bass at that point thanks to Owen who almost ate all the ribs. The Bass dessert earns six points and the Gophers dessert nearly results in Chris choking to death. A moment or so later, Lindsay remembers they left Heather locked in the freezer and runs off to let her out. Heather enters, blue from head to toe, and Chris announces the Bass team win the challenge twenty one to twelve. Heather notices the idol on the table and Chris points out that Beth shouldn't have taken it from Boney Island. Chris goes on to say the Bass win a five star dinner under the stars as their reward.
The Gophers mull over who they will vote off that night with Heather telling Lindsay that all is forgiven as long as she votes for whomever Heather tells her to, threatening to cut off all her hair if she ever steps out of line again. In confessionals, Heather says choosing someone to vote for is difficult with so many losers to choose from, Lindsay laughs over locking Heather in the freezer and Heather and Owen are shown voting for Beth. In a confessional, Owen belches Beth's name.
At the campfire ceremony, it comes down to Beth and Heather for the final marshmallow with Beth being sent to the Boat of Losers. After the ceremony, Duncan, Geoff, and DJ drag Harold's bed to the dock while Harold is sleeping.
The next day, Harold wakes up stark naked and at the boat dock in presence of the girls (Heather, Courtney, LeShawna, Lindsay, Bridgette, Gwen, and Sadie) who are swimming in the lake giggling at him. Harold shrieks with embarrassment and covers himself with a pillow. He says he'll never leave his underwear around again like before and begs for his clothes back. With that, his clothes are returned to him and he runs for the cabin to get dressed.
[edit] Cast
Gwen, Trent and Sadie appear, but have no lines (Gwen is heard laughing in two scenes, as well as Sadie being heard cheering when The Killer Bass were declared winners).

[edit] Goofs
- The beehive that appeared on the cabin was yellow when Owen came to get Heather's makeup bag. When Owen knocked over the bottles, the beehive was seen white, and after Owen stepped on the rake and screamed, the beehive that fell on him turned back to yellow. Also, when Owen is getting oranges, the box is knocked over, but in the next scene, the box is upright again.
- In the morning, Duncan is wearing his boxers. But when Geoff first talks, he is seen with is trademark shorts.
- When Heather shows up outside the fridge after Lindsay retrieves her, Trent can be seen in the group of people Heather is yelling at with no ice pack or noticeable injury whatsoever. However, when the scene goes to the campfire ceremony, he is seen with the ice pack.
- During the campfire ceremony, Trent is holding an ice pack to his head, but after his name is called and he goes up to get a marshmallow, he returns to his seat with no ice pack.
- The food that Owen carries out of the van is ribs, but when they go into the kitchen, he is carrying oranges while Trent carries the ribs. It is possible that they might have switched because Trent thought that the oranges were too heavy or something similar to that theory.
- When exiting the truck, Sadie is seen holding a bag of flour, Duncan is holding a ham, DJ is holding a box with various canned goods and baguettes, and Geoff is holding boxes of tomatoes and baguettes. However, when they arrive in the kitchen, DJ is holding Geoff's box, Sadie is holding DJ's box, Duncan isn't carrying anything, and Geoff is holding a single can; which makes it unknown what happened to Sadie's bag of flour. Bridgette is the only camper who carries the same thing off the truck and into the kitchen. Like the above theory, the campers might have switched ingredients while walking to the kitchen.
- When Heather blows up the flambé cake, she looks at her incinerated eyebrows in a frying pan covered in grease, however, in the next shot the grease is gone.
- When the pasta dish is placed in front of Chris, it is shown to be Courtney's arm holding the dish. However, only DJ and Bridgette were present at the table.
- When the Killer Bass are watching Heather and LeShawna argue about LeShawna's pineapple allergy, Harold is wearing his normal shorts. However, he was wearing a red thong at the time.
- The bottle that Trent takes off the truck is said to contain molasses, but Lindsay is supposed to use it to ignite the flambé. Molasses contains no alcohol, and thus, would not ignite a flambé.
- When Owen finished eating the ribs, he had barbecue sauce all over his body and his hair is messed up, but when LeShawna put him out, he only had barbecue sauce on his shirt and his hair was fixed.
- When Geoff throws Harold back his clothes, his line of "Pleasure doin' business with ya!" was with Duncan's voice.
- Before Duncan does his push-ups, his shorts are blue, but while he's doing the push-ups, they go back to white.
- When LeShawna is suggesting another recipe rather than pineapples with mango dip, she suggests pineapple chutney happily. When Heather tries make Beth switch her job of slicing the pineapple with LeShawna's job, LeShawna says she can't do it because of pineapple allergies.
- When the Screaming Gophers are retrieving their ingredients from the truck, Heather is reading the list of what they need. In the order she said it, the campers already retrieved the ingredients by the time, or before, she dictated them. It is possible that Heather was reminding her team what to get if they already, off screen, went over ingredients.
- When Heather is yelling at her team, Trent is visible but he was already out of the challenge.
- Chris seemed surprised that Beth took the Tiki doll from the island. However, when he was doing the recap for Up The Creek, he knew all about it. This raises the question about whether Chris's recaps have anything to do with his own actual memory or if they are added during the show's post-production phase after all of the footage is shot.
- When Heather is talking to Lindsay, her regular eyebrows were seen. However, right after that in the confessional, her fake eyebrows were seen.
