Brute Camp

Synopsis
At the start of the episode, Chef Hatchet enters the main lodge dressed in camouflage, demanding that the campers report to the Dock of Shame immediately or face instant elimination. At the dock, Chef Hatchet assembles the campers into a single file line and informs them that he is in charge of today's brutal boot camp challenge. This revelation unnerves Heather, who abruptly makes a request to sit out from the challenge.

Although Chef Hatchet insists that no camper can escape boot camp, Heather craftily evades it by presenting him with her challenge withdrawal pass, which he is forced to begrudgingly accept. Moments later, the tenacious cook ranks the contestants from weakest to strongest, and introduces the first challenge to the players: a dance-off between Duncan and Lindsay, which Lindsay ends up winning. In the next challenge, Geoff, Gwen, and Leshawna are told to cross a three hundred meter balance beam over a massive gorge, with the first camper to successfully make it to the other side first winning.

After Geoff finds balancing to be a struggle, he decides to use his hands and scale across the plank. He winds up narrowly beating Gwen and Leshawna, winning the challenge with ease. In the final challenge, Beth, Izzy, and Trent are faced with the task of writing five sentences about how great Chef Hatchet is.

Once the three read out their essays, Chef Hatchet deems Beth as the victor for the third challenge. However, Chris takes back the reins of the episode and declares Lindsay the overall winner, granting her invincibility. Though initially ecstatic, her satisfaction is quickly obstructed by Heather, who forces Lindsay to hand over her immunity and reward.

Lindsay sadly complies, and the other campers express fury as Heather lays claim to Lindsay's reward of a professional Swedish massage. At the bonfire ceremony, Duncan is voted off by the Gopher Girls for being a threat. As he walks down the Dock of Shame, Izzy runs over to him and lets him know that, if he ever wants to blow something up, she will gladly join him; he accepts and takes his leave on the Boat of Losers moments later.

After the ceremony, Beth, Heather, Lindsay, and Trent meet up outside the campsite, where Heather tells Lindsay that Geoff is a major screw-up and has the ability to get in the way of her strategy. She demands that Lindsay refrains from speaking to him again, and threatens to vote him off if she does. Lindsay dejectedly agrees before running off in tears, and before the episode ends, Heather makes a final confessional, reassuring the viewers that everything is going according to plan.
