The Sleep Marathon

**The two teams compete in a twenty-kilometer race and a buffet-eating contest, but they discover that their real challenge is an "Awake-A-Thon" to see who can stay awake the longest.**

## Plot

The episodes starts off with Chris waking up all the campers with the noise of a loud horn. Kiyana immediately wakes up, but accidentally rolls off her bed to a loud slam on the cabin's floor. Kiyana groans and Flour asks if she's alright, Kiyana looks like she's about to blow her fuse but manages to keep her composure and says she's fine, but the early wake-up calls are getting on her nerves. When everyone meets in the middle of camp, Chris announces that the next challenge begins in one minute with a twenty-mile run around the lake. King asks if there will be breakfast, and Chris says there will be after completing the challenge. Rylee and Sim both look very annoyed but keep their mouth's shut just in case Chris makes them do a one-mile run instead.

The run finally begins and some campers are actually running and trying their best whilst some others walk. Kelly and Stella both see an out of breath and panting Bolton who notices the two girls and tries to get up but collapses due to his exhaustion. Kelly giggles and says he shouldn't have wasted all of his energy for the first three miles. Bolton tries to protest but Kelly cuts him off and Stella tells him to just sit still and look pretty until he feels better and gives him a little canteen. Later on, the tired campers gather in the main lodge, with Abe and Sammie helping an injured Zoey who seems to have twisted her ankle to the table. Some people crowd around her worried. Tyler enters the cabin gasping for air, is greeted by a derisive Kiyana, finishing last; because of this the Screaming Gophers think they have won the challenge and earned invincibility. Chris interrupts their celebration, revealing that the run was not the challenge, and unveils a delicious banquet for the campers to eat.

The campers immediately dive into the food, after consuming Chef's not so five-star meals for almost the past week. Once they finish, Chris announces the real challenge, called the Awake-A-Thon, where the last person awake wins the challenge for his or her team. The twenty-kilometer run and the banquet was to make it even more difficult for the campers to stay awake. When asked by Adam, Lucas believes it'll take up to probably an hour or two, and maybe even a bit less for specific campers, before everyone falls asleep.

Twelve hours into the challenge, Chris notes that all twenty-one campers are still awake, but King is the first to submit to a slumber.

Desperate to find a friend, Sammie asks Ciande if she would want to look out for her and Sammie would do the same down the road of the game. Ciande happily accepts and starts talking to Sammie, shocking her because not many of her teammates have been very warm to her friendly attitude. Ciande asks Sammie if she would want anyone to join their alliance which takes Sammie by surprise and questions Ciande about this alliance. Ciande giggles and says that they seem close enough to be allies which gets a smile out of Sammie. Sammie then naively says Bolton not knowing he's been creeping out some of the girls at camp which Ciande denies the request of asking him and fills Sammie in about him and his ways with the girls.

While she heads to the bathroom, Stella's charm accidentally falls out of her back pocket without her noticing. Bolton notices and decides to keep it telling Abe that he's going to surprise her with it. Abe doesn't think it's a good idea but Bolton brushes his opinion off stating he's had a ton of experience with the ladies. Abe rolls his eyes and sarcastically says "Sure, buddy."

The Awake-A-Thon hits the twenty-four hour mark, and seventeen of the twenty-one campers remain awake, with Sim, Zoey, Kelly, and Flour falling asleep. George slowly rests but is awoken from a nightmare he had about Chris being his mother. Chris decides to start reading fairy tales to the campers, accompanied by Chef dressed in a tutu and playing the harp in order to lull more campers to sleep. Chef's dancing, and the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" music, makes the campers drowsier. Making; Abe, Tyler, Ellis, and Rylee fall asleep. Bolton, despite his efforts to stay awake by doing jumping jacks, falls asleep and hits the ground hard.

Jada tries to continue these thoughts but then eventually falls asleep. Then about fifteen minutes later, both Kiyana and George fall asleep making the score even with four to four.

Due to eating these Pancakes, Tyler sleepwalks and grabs two sticks and starts to drum a bee's nest quickly waking up the bees and causing them to sting him, but since he is asleep he has no reaction to the stings shocking those still awake. Jaylen and Stella start talking to each other to keep each other awake; a friendship starting to form between the two, they try to learn a bit about each other whilst trying to not fall asleep.

After fifty-one hours, Hailey and Lucas discover that Sammie is asleep behind the log, making Chris make the tally four vs three. Eighty-five hours in, Hugo and Ciande fall asleep, and to pass the time Hailey decides to put a cockroach on Jada's face causing her to wake up and scream. Hailey laughs hysterically and Adam lets out a little chuckle. Tyler wakes up and realizes he's caressing a bear screaming in horror. Eventually, Chris decided to have the campers that had already fallen asleep leave and take a shower.

One-hundred hours in, Adam, Hailey, Jaylen, Lucas, and Stella are the only ones left awake. Chris uses his last resort: reading the history of Canada in pop-up book form.

The pop-up book is tedious enough to make Hailey and Adam fall asleep straight away, and, not too shortly after, Stella as well, much to Jaylen's fear. After a while, Chris decides to give the remaining two a bathroom break. Stella says she's held it long enough but tries to not budge until Lucas says he could stay up for another twenty-four hours before getting more drowsy much to Stella's dismay. Stella is then found asleep on the bathroom floor and the news is announced right as Lucas starts to drift off. Lucas is declared the official winner of the Awake-A-Thon, giving the Killer Bass invincibility, and causing the Screaming Gophers to have to vote someone off.

Later that afternoon, Stella is seen searching her cabin with the other girl Gophers until Abe stands at the doorway and asks whats wrong. Stella panicking, states that she can't find the charm her grandmother gave her. Abe then takes the charm out of his pocket much to Stella's delight, but Ciande asks if he took it. Abe denies this, and states Bolton took it wanting to flatter Stella by knowing how much the charm meant to her and giving it back to her. Kelly exclaims that it's messed up and she'd never accept a love letter or a love confession if someone did that to her personal belongings.

Stella thanks Abe and asks if she could ever do something in return for him. Abe whispers into her ear and Stella immediately says "Deal!"

That night, at the campfire ceremony, Chris gives marshmallows to George, Sammie, Zoey, Jaylen, Sim, Ciande, Stella, Abe, and Rylee. The bottom two comes down to Kelly and Bolton. Both seem a little nervous but Kelly shows a little more confidence after seeing Stella smirk at her. Chris then gives the final marshmallow to Kelly, leaving Bolton taken by surprise. He tells everyone that they made a mistake and starts to complain. Kelly states that he shouldn't have taken Stella's charm and he stares blank for a second and turns to Abe. Before he can say anything however, Chef takes him to the Boat of Losers. Zoey then makes a toast stating that they'll do better in the next challenge and if they have enough moral, they might be able to pull out more than just one more win.

Tyler is seen in the background near a pond singing "Buttons" while tapping on a beaver dam, angering some of the beavers that live there and some push him into the water where he lays for the night.
