The campers arrive and learn the horrible truth - that instead of chilling in a gorgeous mansion with a hot tub, they'll be spending the next 8 weeks at crappy old Camp Wawanakwa! They also realize that they have almost nothing in common with one another - this could be a long summer. After being divided into two teams, The Screaming Gophers and The Killer Bass, they are about to come face to face with their first challenge.

The campers must jump off of an insanely high cliff into shark-infested waters, then carry a cartload of materials back to the campgrounds and build a hot tub from scratch. The losers will send their first camper down the Dock of Shame.

Each team has a member placed into a clear glass tank that is locked and slowly filling with water; in order to free them, they must retrieve the codes at the far end of a very dangerous obstacle course.

The campers face off in the classic school-yard-blood-bath: dodge-ball. After losing two challenges in a row, The Killer Bass are the underdogs and do not expect to win. Heather solidifies her alliance with Lindsay and Beth and promptly lays down the law... which unfortunately for Lindsay includes not dating members of the other team. But how can she resist Tyler's charms?! Will Lindsay get kicked out of the alliance?

The campers step on stage for the most dramatic elimination competition yet! Chef Hatchet will use his Chef-O-Meter to vote on which team has the most talent and which team must send a player to the Loser Boat. Tensions are high in the Gopher camp when Gwen dares to cross Queen Bee Heather. Heather gets revenge by stealing Gwen's diary and doing a 'dramatic reading' of it in front of the entire world. War has been declared in the Gopher camp!

An overnight camping trip into the woods brings out the crazy in Izzy. She dons a bear costume to play a joke on her teammates, but ends up attracting a real grizzly with a crush on her to their site and the Gophers are forced to spend the entire night up in a tree. The Bass also have a sleepless night after Duncan tells a horror story by the fire and Bridgette accidentally burns down their tent.
