Fear Element

**After the previous episode's elimination, a discussion of fears evolves into a fear-facing challenge, thanks to some eavesdroppers.**

## Plot

The episode picks up straight away after Stella's elimination, as it did in the previous episode. Expectedly, the elimination of her closest friend on the island, makes Kelly sad as she gently cries. Jaylen comforts her and begins to explain that they need to stick together. He also insists that Stella told them to be strong, and they'd be better without her. Kelly doesn't grasp onto this, shocking Jaylen, doesn't stop crying. Jaylen then tells Kelly they should get back to camp even though Kelly seems hesitant to join the people who eliminated her closest friend. Kelly sighs and gives in and tries to put her game face back on.

When Jaylen and Kelly go back to the Killer Bass who are by the campfire, they are shockingly joined by the Screaming Gophers, who bring some leftovers from their tuck shop party. Despite their efforts to convince the Killer Bass they are doing this just to be friendly, Rylee finally reveals that they are there because they have to wait for the skunk smell to air out of the cabin, due to a prank George tried to unsuccessfully pull out. Sammie offers Tyler a cheesy nacho snack, but Tyler refuses to take the snack out of surprising fear. Jada questions if Tyler is on a diet or is just plain crazy but Tyler just tries to calm down and says he dislikes nachos, especially with cheese. Kelly then offers Lucas a lollipop which he gladly accepts before realizing there's a scorpion in it causing him to throw the lollipop into the campfire - but Zoey tells him to calm down only stating that the scorpion is dead and states that the stingers were removed. Lucas states he hates scorpions saying that he has arachnophobia.

Sim pities Lucas, admitting that he has a deathly fear of reptiles - or herpetophobia. Everyone then starts revealing their greatest fears: Hailey says she hates needles; Sammie is afraid of the dark with Zoey sharing something similar stating she hates the nighttime; and Jada has a fear of things that have weird holes in them - trypophobia. Jaylen says that he hates being alone - having autophobia which is the fear of being left alone or being alone - and shortly after Kelly says she's terrified of clowns. Ciande indicates that she doesn't like traveling around in boats, and Rylee reveal that she, struggles with thalassophobia and hates going into open water on a boat or anything that can travel on open water. Ellis then grips to her seat stating she fears that she hates getting bad pedicures which Kiyana also says. Abe finally expresses how he hates blood and if he had to operate on someone he'd probably pass out. Tyler says he isn't afraid of anything, which gets suspicion from some of the other campers. Hugo reveals he hates goats stating he doesn't like their beady eyes. George reveals a very weird fear stating he hates the color purple. After George, Adam reveals he hates thunder and it's always scared him ever since he was young. Sammie tries to make Tyler share his fear, but Tyler states he doesn't have any. Hailey tells everyone Tyler probably has a fear but Tyler stands firm about his statement of not having one.

Chris reveals the next challenge at breakfast the next morning: the campers will face their worst fears in a game he calls "Phobia Factor." Ellis smirks and asks if what they'll face is scarier than the food they're currently consuming. Abe turns purple when Chris calls him to the operating room in the nurse's room. Sim is then told by Chris that he has a date with a couple friendly lizards. Kiyana asks how Chris knows their greatest fears, and Sim groans and begins to explain that the camera's are always rolling so the entire cast basically admitted their fears to the producers. Chris asks Chef if the special order for Lucas came in, shortly Chef comes out and places a fried-scorpion onto Lucas' hand. Lucas nervously takes a bite of the tail, before a live scorpion's tail shoots out of the place the bite was bit, frightening Lucas.

The campers gather outside near a kiddie pool that's entirely purple, and it's George's turn to try to take on his fear to earn a point for his team. George anxiously goes into the pool and sits in it for a while before scoring a point for the Gophers, leaving it 1-0 Gophers. Sammie and Zoey are taken into the producer's hut that's entirely pitch black, they are shoved in and need to stay in the room for an hour before they can score a point for the Gophers. Jada is then seen having to stare at photo's of things with multiple holes in them like honeycombs, strawberries, and flowers that are zoomed into. Soon enough, Jada completes her fear scoring a point for the Bass.

Hailey is seen in the bathroom and when she finishes notices three doctors enter the washroom. They hold her down and start to take blood from her causing her to panic, but soon enough all the blood-work is done and Hailey scores a point for the Bass. Outside, Lucas faces his biggest fear: a scorpion but it's actually just Chef dressed in a costume, he flees whilst Chef just silently walks after him. Meanwhile, Abe is facing his fear and Chris instructs him to perform a ten minute operation on a fake mannequin that has blood spilling out of it. Rylee cheers him on as Abe performs the fake operation but starts to freak out when blood starts pouring out of it, but in the end, Abe manages to score a point for the Gophers, leaving the score tied. \

Jaylen begins a four-hour-long isolation in the woods around camp, and Jaylen tries to cheer for himself stating he won't give in and get scared, but hears a twig snap, raising his anxiety. The camera then shows Sim who needs to get into a box on the beach with lizards inside of it. Sim looks anxious and tells Abe he can have his clothing if he doesn't make it. Chris says Sim needs to stay in the box for five minutes and then he'll be able to get out of the box, lizard-free. Rylee tells Sim that he can do it before Chris brings Ciande and Rylee to the dock, where a faulty speed-boat pulls up that Chef is seen driving. Chris pushes them in and Chef starts speeding along the water causing Rylee and Ciande to hug each other and scream. At the stage, Chris tells Hugo he needs to get in the pen full of goats in order to give his team a point and he needs to pet at least three goats. Hugo obliges and manages to pull out the task and doesn't even break a sweat giving the Bass the lead of 3-2.

With three minutes left, Sim manages his challenge well, and Kelly is seen talking to him. To make the time go faster, Sim asks why Kelly is so scared of clowns. Kelly begins to explain that they've always creeped her out and movies like IT didn't help the fear go away. She then tells how when she was six years old and her mom hired a party-clown and he hit the piñata crazily causing her and her friends to become scared of him. Out of nowhere, Kelly is forced to confront her fear as a clown is seen right behind her that she notices. She screams leaving Sim to lay there with nobody to talk to, who shortly becomes nervous.

Chris then takes Ellis and Kiyana to their challenges with Chef and an unpaid intern having the task to manicure their nails. Ellis takes a deep breath and Kiyana looks scared before Chef takes out a jagged nail filer and starts going to town on Ellis and Kiyana. Kiyana starts to panic repeatedly telling Ellis she can't do it, much to Ellis' annoyance. Ellis tells her that they need the point but Kiyana gets angry and kicks the intern. She storms off, leaving her team without a point. Ellis is about to score her team a point but chickens out the last minute, and looks to her nails and screams and the camera shows a horrific manicure. Shortly after, the camera shows Zoey waiting outside of the black box who didn't manage to score a point for her team waiting for Sammie. It's past an hour and Chris tells Sammie whose curled up in a ball on the floor that she's scored a point for her team, making Sammie ecstatic.

Kelly is still being chased by the clown, whose smile turns into a frown realizing Kelly isn't taking any of it's balloons. Kelly then sprints to the Dock of Shame and quickly dives into the water. The clown looks like it's about to dive in, but Kelly explains that his makeup will run, and the clown gives up and sadly walks elsewhere, the score is now at 4-3, with the Gophers in the lead. In the dining hall, Adam is seen relaxing on the table before a cloud of thunder shows up causing him to panic. He runs around the campsite for a while before Kelly notices Chris controlling the cloud and walks over to him. Kelly questions Chris if he could lower the cloud causing Adam to panic more. Chris calls Kelly crazy, but he happily agrees. When Chris says that he's going to keep Adam in a boxed like cloud reminds Kelly about Sim.

In the wilderness, Jaylen continues his challenge with only an hour and thirty minutes left on the clock, until he hears a loud scream coming from the beach. Sim throws his walkie-talkie in Kelly's direction but misses and Kelly apologizes to Sim multiple times before Chris announces that Sim completed his challenge. Kelly and Sim seem to forget about the events that just happened and hug each other in celebration. Jaylen then hears a loud peck sound causing him to yell and run away making him fail his challenge. The pecking is later revealed to have been a wood-pecker.

In another location, the boat arrives back at the dock, and Rylee and Ciande quickly exit the boat, with both of them being relived to be back on solid ground. Chris then announces that they both completed their challenge gaining the Gophers another two points. Ellis is seen entering the bathroom with Kiyana and Kiyana tells Ellis to wash the manicure off. Ellis reveals that she has really beautiful hands causing Kiyana to compliment them before the two exit the bathroom.

The cast meets at the stage and Abe points out how the Gophers must've won the challenge because the Bass don't have a high amount of points and the Gophers do. Chris tells them that they still have one more challenge to do and says if the person can complete the challenge, he'll automatically give the Bass the win. The last challenge is revealed to be Tyler's, but despite Tyler not revealing his fear, a previous tape viewed by Chris showed his reaction to cheese. Tyler and the rest of the campers are led to a cheesy liquid filled pool with a diving board, and he's given the chance to win the challenge for the Bass. Tyler climbs up the latter and notices the diving board is extremely high. The Killer Bass cheer on Tyler and try to convince him to jump. However, the Gophers, most notably Kelly try to make Tyler too scared to jump. Tyler is on the diving board for a while before stating he can't do it after he sees the height and thinks about the cheese, losing the challenge for the Bass. Zoey dips her finger into the cheese and tastes it and exclaims that it tastes good, whilst Tyler tries to not beat himself up over being the reason his team lost.

At the campfire ceremony, Chris is down to the last two marshmallows and the campers who are up for elimination coincidentally all failed to complete their tasks: Kiyana, Lucas, and Tyler. The next marshmallow is given to Lucas, and shortly after the last marshmallow is given to Tyler after a few paranoid induced seconds. Kiyana stands up in shock but holds herself back from yelling at her team. Ellis waves to her, but before Kiyana walks to the Dock of Shame and gets onto the boat after her teammates taunt her with puns about her hands. Soon after, while on the Boat of Losers, Kiyana hears a saw before noticing Chef coming to give her a manicure and she yells loudly.
