## Episode Summaries

**Episode 1: Icebreakers** was the first episode of the season. In this episode, the characters are introduced by boat ride to the frozen island. Each character gets a moment to shine under the spotlight as they ride on the boat and get off on the dock. Bonds were instantly made, especially between characters who had met at the *Casa De Losers*. Notable bonds made quickly were Harley and Quinn, Quinn and Richard, Lill and Harley, and more. Many contestants returned, such as Bug, however they were very different. A total of five characters returned from previous seasons, those being Zee, Richard, Bug, Duncan, and Courtney. The contestants got used to the cold island as they bonded with no challenge to worry about.

**Episode 2: Sculpture Culture** consisted of the first challenge for Frozen Island. The contestants were required to forage through the woods to collect materials to build the best sculpture. They were judged by Chris and the Walleyed Whales won immunity first followed by the Daring Dragonflies. Lill was the star on the Walleyed Whales, showcasing her foraging abilities as a scoutmaster. Two of the teams, minus the Walleyed Whales, had the idea of building a Chris sculpture. Unfortunately, Chris liked the Walleyed Whales's sculpture more, and the Whales won. The Bogus Buffalo were sent to the campfire ceremony and voted off Tamara.

**Episode 3: Cool Runnings** had the three teams line up for a relay race style obstacle course. One member from each team would line up for thirst obstacle, tag the next member when they were finished, and that cycle would continue until two competitors reached the finish. It was a close race, but the Daring Dragonflies lost after Harley and Harold reached the top despite Zee and Bug's cheering. Courtney went home due to her antisocial behaviors and her not competing in the challenge.

**Episode 4: Sweet Rewards** was a challenge in which the three teams had to create their perfect cup of hot cocoa. It was a casual challenge focused more on judging rather than competing head to head. The Daring Dragonflies were able to create the best cup of hot cocoa by putting a cat design on the top of their mug. The Walleyed Whales lost the challenge for the first time, sending home Ollie for not making any friends among the Whales and remaining the odd one out.

**Episode 5: Under Pressure** made the three teams make their way to a frozen pond in which they had to get on top and be the last ones standing on the ice as it slowly cracked. Many took an aggressive approach after a while, especially the Bogus Buffalo, who tended to target one member of the Daring Dragonflies at a time and knock them off. It turned out to be all of the Walleyed Whales versus many members of the Bogus Buffalo. All that was left of the Daring Dragonflies was Iris, who was fighting off a rabid crocodile that was attacking her. The Bogus Buffalo closed in on her when the Walleyed Whales took notice and fought back against the targeting of Iris. Lill flung Harley across the icy lake, sliding her into Raj and *Wayne*, knocking them off while staying on the ice herself. With this move, the tides turned against the Bogus Buffalo, who lost all their members as Iris wasn't a target anymore. They were sent to the campfire ceremony where Raj was voted off in a tie with Francine.

**Episode 6: Traditional Yolk-lore** was an intense episode where the three teams were required to search through the woods for a painted geese egg of each color (red, blue, yellow) and bring it back to their safe zone. Many conflicts arose during this challenge, such as Harley and Xander's fight over an egg under a frozen puddle. Lill ended up stepping in and distracting Xander long enough for Harley to escape with the egg, only after Harley was pelted in the stomach by a hard hitting snowball. The Walleyed Whales ended up winning after the edge that Lill's move had given them and the Bogus Buffalo were sent to the campfire ceremony once more. They agreed on a vote this time, sending home Xander due to Harold convincing Wayne that Xander was the reason Raj got eliminated.

**Episode 7: Minecart Madness** had each team line up for a minecart race through an abandoned, frozen cave. The first step of this challenge was to decorate their minecart before sending one contestant through the mines on the cart. Richard was sent for the Walleyed Whales, Harold for the Bogus Buffalo, and Zee for the Daring Dragonflies. While Richard had a huge lead, completing two laps around the course first, he was caught up by a landslide near the end and lost it for his team. Despite him losing the challenge, *Axel* was sent home anyways for her inactivity in challenges.

**Episode 8: Fort Fever** consisted of every team building snow forts to defend their flags from different threats such as robots and wolves. A bear attacked the Bogus Buffalo's fort, Wolves attacked the Walleyed Whales, and *Sullivan* was focused on the Daring Dragonflies. Unfortunately, the Buffalo were the first ones to have their flags captured followed by the Whales. Since the Buffalo lost their flag first, they were sent to the campfire ceremony where Harold was double crossed by his friend Francine, whom was motivated by her puppet to betray him.

**Episode 9: Target Audience** was the first episode in which the Buffalo were dissolved into the two other teams. Wayne and Blue were placed with the Whales, leaving Francine alongside the Dragonflies. The two teams were required to throw snowballs at targets in a shooting range like structure. The Whales had an abysmal performance, scoring ten out of the required one hundred points to win. Lill and Jude Love had been the main throwers, and due to their loss, Lill had a meltdown in their team's cabin, begging to not be voted. Harley suggested Jude Love, who also performed badly, and had a tendency to never vote for anyone due to his peaceful nature. The team respected this, but valued the game more. Jude Love was sent home in a close vote between him and Lill.

**Episode 10: Crawlway, Walkway, Runway** was the second team challenge after the dissolving of the Buffalo. This challenge consisted of the contestants creating ugly sweaters to be judged by Chris. Richard and Harley took up a major role in this episode, both having sewed a lot at home. Due to their efforts, the Whales won the challenge and Francine was sent home due to her not making many friends and her backstabbing of Harold.

**Episode 11: Best Served Cold** was another judging challenge hosted by Chris where the two teams had to scavenge through the woods once more in order to collect ingredients to make the best meal for Chris. They were required to make a three course meal using what they found. Jokingly, in the episode recap, the over usage of berries was mentioned. The Whales won by a small margin and the Dragonflies voted off Bug for not being social enough.

**Episode 12: Boo'd Off the Stage** introduced the first merge challenge as the teams were no more. From now on, each challenge had the competitors compete individually from immunity. The challenge itself consisted of the contestants competing to sing karaoke for the longest while avoiding obstacles being thrown their way. Not only were horrible singing skills showcased, but many contestants got hurt by large objects that were hurled at them. Zee came out on top, however, and won immunity. The group sent Wayne home as a decently unanimous decision due to his strength as a challenger as well as his minimal bonds outside of his love interest Blue.

**Episode 13: Monday the 18th** introduced a horrifying twist on the challenge format. At the challenge zone, the competitors were warned about a monster on the island, and it was no joke. They were recommended to hide across the island and pray they didn't get found. The contestants split up, some in pairs such as Harley and Iris, others alone like Duncan. Duncan's strategy seemed to be the best, however, as he was captured by the creature last, who was revealed to be a fake, just to make the challenge sound more serious. Duncan won immunity and, unfortunately for Zee, his previous challenge win wasn't enough to keep him safe as he was eliminated for being seen as a threat and not making bonds due to him being tied up with side quests.

**Episode 14: Picture This** put another twist on the format of challenges, this time being a casual play on it. The challenge consisted of a simple winter themed Pictionary game. Lill won immunity this time around and Priya was sent home for similar reasons as Wayne- being a competent challenger and not making many bonds with the remaining contestants.

**Episode 15: Peng-winning** focused on another capturing objectives like challenge such as Episode Six. Contestants must capture the most penguins around the island in order and put them in their pen to win the challenge. Duncan suggested cheating in this challenge to Chris, who said it wasn't technically against the rules to take from another pen, but Richard won anyways due to Quinn handing him the penguins he had caught himself. Due to the majority of Duncan's bonds being related to Bug, who was no longer in the game, he was sent home due to not having a lot of friends and being backstabbed by a member of his alliance, Lill. He was also considered a threat due to him being a veteran.

**Episode 16: Winter Wipeout** showcased the competitor's dwindling sense of kindness for each other and their determination to win. The challenge was a simple yet dangerous obstacle course. Quinn, at this point, hadn't been around much, and didn't show up to the challenge either, leaving some confused (Richard especially). With him out of the race, it was close, but Harley pulled off her first victory in the merge challenge portion of the game. At the campfire ceremony, Lill was sent home in a close vote and it was revealed that Quinn had been medically evacuated off of the island earlier in the day. In a double elimination, they were both out of the game.

**Episode 17: Blast from the Past** was another scavenger hunt in which the contestants had to find "artifacts" that related to previous contestants. There were many references in this episode, and Iris ended up winning her first individual challenge. During the campfire ceremony, it was Harley who was sent home in a backstab move from Mike, her friend whom claimed they were brother and sister, and Richard, her alliance member that was formed to keep Iris safe from being voted. Mike stood up, however, and attempted to play a fake idol on Harley, not knowing of its phoniness. The idol failed to keep his sister safe and she was sent home in a close vote.

**Episode 18: Brain Freeze** had the remaining four competitors go head to head in a trivia match. It was a close game, but Richard came out on top, only after being shot with fudge out of a cannon. In the vote, it was very one sided, Iris being sent home after being voted by every one other than herself. Richard did not stay true to his word with Harley, voting out her best friend anyways.

**Episode 19: Who Dares?** Introduced the only instant elimination challenge in the season. Each contestant had to endure difficult dares, taking turns facing the wrath of the dares. In the end, every contestant had been humiliated, but it was Blue who dropped out first, eliminating herself from the game and sending Richard and Mike to the finale.

**Episode 20: Happy Holidays, ya Filthy Animals!** was the final episode of season four- the finale. Many challenges were presented to the contestants who remained, those being Richard and Mike. There were puzzles, alligator rides, and more. The race finished with a dog sled race to the finish line, and in a narrow victory, Mike won the season. Each previous contestant had been there to watch the finale, some disapproving of the winner, others happy about it. In a polarizing finale, Mike was crowned as the king of the Frozen Island and given one million dollars.

## Team Summaries

This season was the first and only season to have three teams from the start: The Walleyed Whales, The Bogus Buffalo, and the Daring Dragonflies. The Walleyed Whales consisted of: *Harley, Lill, Jude Love, Axel, Richard, Quinn, and Ollie*. The Bogus Buffalo included: *Wayne, Raj, Francine, Blue, Harold, Xander, and Tamara.* Finally, the Daring Dragonflies had: *Mike, Iris, Courtney, Zee, Priya, Duncan, and Bug*. After the Bogus Buffalo were down to three members, Francine was placed on the Daring Dragonflies and Wayne and Blue were placed on the Walleyed Whales. This is the only instance of a team being dissolved into other teams and not into one team, such as the merge. The Walleyed Whales won the most team competitions (five), followed by the Daring Dragonflies (four), then the Bogus Buffalo (one). Because this season featured three teams, not placing first did not immediately mean another team had lost. Second place was involved in this season and teams who placed second were also exempt from elimination ceremonies.
