Talentless

**Conflict takes center stage when the three teams participate in a talent show and the rivalry between two campers rapidly escalates. A particularly weak first round, featuring an aspiring actor and a sculptor, ends in utter disaster. However, the second round pulls out three show stopping performances; for better or worse. One team proves to be lacking in talent, and a violent confrontation ends with a pageant queen eliminating her perfectly tanned rival.**

## Plot

The episode begins in the cabins, with each team suffering from their own form of tension. In the Bass cabin, Lightning continues to annoy the boys with his boasting. Meanwhile, at Beaver cabin, a fight breaks out between Anne Maria and Sugar over who's prettier. After awhile, Chris calls the contestants to the amphitheater, where they are introduced to the brutal camp cook, Chef Hatchet. The campers are immediately intimidated by Chef, and are less than cheerful when Chris announces that he will be in charge of the next challenge. Chef announces that the teams will compete in a talent show, that will be judged by him, and that they must choose two representatives to perform in the show.

During the Screaming Gophers' auditions, Topher is shown to be ecstatic about performing, believing himself to be naturally talented. As most of the team argues over who's more talented, Courtney squashes the argument and decides that she and Ennui will perform. Over on the Killer Bass, Lightning once again picks on the other men and tries to force Alejandro and Noah to perform. He is shut down, and the team looks towards the girls for talent. Leshawna attempts to dance, but disgusts her teammates with her moves, and Izzy reveals her fire baton twirling skills. Despite the danger, the Bass choose Izzy to perform, and Bridgette hesitatingly joins as well. Finally, for the Rabid Beavers, Sugar adamantly demands to perform and does not take no for an answer. After some debating, Sugar designates Duncan as the team's other act.

After auditions, Chef calls the performers backstage. Tragedy soon strikes however when Courtney breaks her violin while preparing her act. Frantic, Courtney enlists Topher to perform instead, and he excitedly goes out on stage first. For his performance, Topher performs a one man play about his life. During the performance, he exaggerates events in his life and his popularity with everyone around him. Though Chef finds the show horrible, he awards him eight points for following his dreams. Next, Duncan goes on stage and whittles a bust of Geoff out of wood, only earning him five points. Finally, Bridgette goes up with a twenty minute hand-standing routine. Almost as soon as she starts off, she throws up due to having stage fright and vomits all over the stage and audience. This disaster causes Chef to throw to commercial as he begrudgingly cleans the place up.

After the break, the show continues with Sugar going up next. For her talent, she dons a rapper outfit and sings a fusion of Rap and Country that she calls, "Craptry". Finding it only slightly bearable, her "Sugar Silo" rap is only given six points by Chef. Next, Ennui goes on stage, wearing an alarming heavy metal outfit. He performs an extreme heavy metal guitar riff and screams violently as he does so. The unconventional performance puts Chef to tears, and he gives Ennui a whopping ten points, securing victory for the Gophers. Finally, Izzy goes up with her fire baton routine. The routine surprisingly goes well, and despite her setting a curtain on fire, Chef gives her ten points as well.

This puts the Beavers on the chopping block once again, much to their disappointment. As the Beavers arrive back at their cabin, Sugar and Anne Maria begin to argue again. Anne maria is furious at Sugar and blames her for their loss. Sugar argues her accusations, and the fight turns physical as Anne Maria attacks her. Sugar fights back, but the two are soon restrained by Geoff and Leonard before things go too far. Enraged, the two aggressively campaign for each other's elimination, leaving the rest of the team unsure, and Duncan absolutely furious. That night, it comes down to the two girls, and Anne Maria ends up eliminated. Before leaving, Anne Maria retaliates one last time by attacking Sugar with her hairspray. Anne Maria gets dragged off to the Boat of Losers, and Duncan airs out his frustration to the audience as Chris signs off the episode.
