Soldier Course

**Someone forces the teams to go through several difficult obstaclesdesigned to push the campers to their limits.**

## Plot

The episode starts off with Jada leaving the bass' girl cabin in disgust and complains to the closest person next to her which is Lucas. She explains that Hailey sprayed the girls' cabin in graffiti "on accident" and expects the girls to sleep in there now. Lucas tells Jada that they can just clean it, but Jada goes on and on about how Hailey shouldn't have done it in the first place. Not too soon after, Chef announces over the PA speakers that all campers must be at the Dock of Shame at 9:00 A.M.

Once everyone is at the dock, Chef takes the part of a tough-talking field Sergeant, stating that the challenge will be difficult and that campers will be removed one by one until only one remains, being the one who will win immunity for his or her team. Chef, who insists on being addressed as "Master Chief," tells the campers that if anyone wishes to leave, they must go to the end of the Dock of Shame and ring the bell. Chef goes on to say that the first day will not end until at least one person quits and with that, he orders everybody down to the beach for the first challenge.

Gathered on the beach, Chef instructs the two teams to keep a canoe over their heads for as long as they can, and anybody who takes their hands off the canoe will be disqualified. Chef starts the challenge stating that lunch won't be served until someone gives up and rings the bell. Chef, sitting with Chris atop each team's canoe, nudges the teams to keep going at the three-hour mark. During the challenge, George is seen putting a tiny rubber snake on Sammie causing her to scream, but doesn't get noticed not touching the canoe and the challenge keeps going. After multiple hours night as hit, and Chef is telling Chris about his time serving in the army until, Sammie says she can't keep going. Ciande tries to encourage her, but Sammie tells her she can't feel anything. Sammie walks to the end of the dock and rings the bell, eliminating her from the challenge. With relief, both teams drop their canoes, ending the first part of the challenge. Chef instructs the teams to go to the mess hall for food.

In the mess hall, Chef informs both teams that they have ten minutes to eat dinner and then night training will begin. Chef says that for dinner, they'll be eating he leftover garbage from the morning breakfast and whatever else is in there. Jada cringes in disgust and says she isn't eating dinner tonight with Ellis agreeing with her. With an old banana in her hand, Hailey asks Jada why and Jada tells her that "I'll be modeling very soon, and I don't think I'll get a career with me eating garbage on international TV." George gives Rylee some sprite but once she drinks it, it goes everywhere making George laugh hysterically stating he put a mento in it. Rylee giggles and splashes George with some water, before the two laugh more. Once Rylee goes to get napkins, Jaylen asks George if he's crushing on Rylee with George denying this stating he only looks to her as a friend.

On the dock, Chef leads the campers in a series of dance moves with music blasting. An hour pasts and Jaylen turns the music off stating that he and the rest of the campers have had enough of Chef's weird 70s dance moves. Chef orders Jaylen to drop down and give him thirty push-ups. Adam asks Chef if he can go to the bathroom. Shortly after, Adam is seen having to scrub the bathroom floor while Chef watches. Back at the dining hall, Chef tells both teams that they need to write a 300-word essay about how great he is and how much they love his food. But if someone falls asleep or fails to complete the essay, will be eliminated from the challenge. A couple hours pass, and Chef collects the completed essays and notices that Ellis and Adam are still writing and tells them that both are eliminated. Abe has fallen asleep, and Chef says that he's eliminated. Jaylen rolls his eyes and complains to Rylee about the rules of each challenge being annoying, but before Rylee can say anything, Chef catches Jaylen's attitude but before he can order Jaylen to do anything, Ciande whisks him away and tells him to stop acting crazy. Shortly after, Chef advises the campers to go to bed and be ready for a 5 A.M. start.

At 5 A.M., Chef explains the next part of the challenge and that they'll run an obstacle course before everyone can complete it in under a minute. The campers begin, and after doing the challenge for a while, Lucas is seen collapsing and says he's too overworked to compete and asks if he can go to the infirmary. The campers continue to go through the course. After getting stuck in a mud sinkhole, Ciande is forced to drop-out, Hailey yells to Ciande, "Wear better battle field clothing, soldier!" Chef tells Hailey to give him twenty push-ups for her comment, and a mud-covered Hailey does the push-ups and then hugs Chef and laughs. Later, Chef is seen very angry and punishes Hailey and forces Hailey to go spend the night by herself in the boathouse. When Hailey enters the boathouse however, she thinks all of the sharp objects and teeth around her are very cool but hides her excitement so Chef doesn't force her to spend the night in the porter potty.

At the mess hall, Tyler says he's going to bring Hailey some dinner stating she hasn't eaten much.

As Tyler enters the boathouse, Hailey welcomes him with a fist bump and expresses her love for the boathouse and converses with Tyler before Hailey asks Tyler if he wants to break some rules and ditch the expired oatmeal for Chef's food supply. Being hesitant, Tyler is nervous but eventually agrees and the both set off to find Chef's and Chris' food supply. They find it and start raiding it as Chef tells another one of his war stories to Chris about a time when twenty-five people, including himself, went into a forest and only five came back out. Both of them have their hands and pockets full filled with food and Tyler leaves a Bass in the middle of all the dessert left.

Once Hailey and Tyler get back, they share the stolen food with the rest of the campers much to everyone's delight. Going through a sugar rush, Hailey accidentally drops some peanut butter on Jada's shoes causing Jada to get annoyed with her. Ciande and Ellis are seen eating some brownies, and Ellis is seen stuffing a lot in her mouth, despite Ciande warning her not to, and Ellis soon runs out of the cabin which Hailey and Jada snicker at and vomits outside. Tyler cheers with Lucas as the two take a bite of sandwiches and tells Lucas how they got the food. Adam calls Tyler badass and compliments him for being very agile with Hailey. Tyler and Adam are seen outside talking, and Tyler expresses how he's had fun talking to Adam. Jada sees this, and quickly gets Lucas and shows him what's happening outside. Lucas gasps and starts to break down causing Jada and Ciande to bring him to another location for him to cool off. After Lucas is back with the two girls, Chef announces over the speakers that the remaining campers will do their next challenge at 7:00 A.M. the following morning.

In the morning, the six remaining campers (George, Hailey, Jada, Jaylen, Rylee, and Tyler) hang upside down from a tree branch as Chef tells them more stories about his experience as a war soldier so the time passes quicker. Jaylen is the first to drop out, and is quickly followed by Jada who gives up due to George annoying her while she competed, and George later drops off due to tired arms. Hailey starts snickering causing her to lose control of her arms and falls to the ground, dropping out. This leaves Rylee and Tyler both still on the tree branch and both seem to have total control of their bodies still. However, Rylee is the last standing when Tyler withdraws, winning the challenge for the Screaming Gophers, who promise Rylee to give her the last remaining cookie from the jar. As a sign of respect for overcoming all of his obstacle courses, Chef salutes Rylee and promises to go to war with her at any time, Rylee agrees with him, not wanting to anger him and follows the rest of her team.

At the Campfire Ceremony, Chris hands marshmallows to Adam, Jada, Lucas, and Hailey who all are seen roasting their marshmallows while watching the remaining two. Ellis and Tyler are in the bottom, and Tyler seems a bit more confident than Ellis who is looking around hastily. After moments of dramatics and suspense, Chris tosses the final marshmallow to Ellis, who is shocked, but gets up and joins the group. Hailey tells Chris that she knows that Ellis had the most votes with Adam backing her up. Chris doesn't seem to care about this, and grabs Tyler by the arm and drags him to the Boat of Losers with Chef who drags his other arm. Tyler looks very confused and tells Chris he must've miscalculated the votes, but the two men throw Tyler in the Boat. Hailey and Adam run down the dock and start waving to her but before he leaves, Hailey throws a carving of a microphone at Tyler, which makes Tyler emotional before he isn't seen anymore.

Jada and Lucas are seen with Ellis who later joins them at the bonfire who are still roasting their marshmallows. Jada looks to Lucas and giggles. It's shown Jada broke into the voting ballot and switched at least one vote against Ellis to Tyler so that he'd go home. The episode ends with Lucas, Ellis, and Jada fist bumping and congratulating Ellis on staying.
