I'm Bora Bored

Plot
The episode opens with Team Glory in first class, ending Team Booty’s three-challenge winning streak.

Hailey (CONF): I am so glad we haven’t had to go to an elimination yet, it keeps this whole team bonding thing very easy

Alex, Nico, Annie and Eli are in one set of chairs talking about how fun it was to solve the mystery and how shitty Team Booty’s job was. They are also still joking and laughing about the "initiation" from the other day. Beyla, Miller, Izzy and Colby are in the other set of four chairs, talking about the gifts they received in the previous episode. Colby is cuddled up with his grumpy-cat doll, which he affectionately named Tuna.

At the mini-bar, Zach is talking to Kathryn, Lauren and Hailey, and the four are talking about whether or not they should add Miller, Annie and or Nico to their big alliance. Kathryn, Lauren and Zach are hesitant making the alliance bigger, but Hailey points out it could be a big advantage come the merge.

Nick and Kirsten are on the couch, with the latter asking about Dan because she feels like he's been acting weird recently.

Nick (CONF): Look this could be a good opportunity to take out Kirsten, I like her and all but if I don’t make a move soon, I’m screwed

Nick listens intently as the scene shifts to the mess hall.

Duncan is eating with Frances, complaining they’ve been sucking since Team Friendship joined, losing Suzanne, Sibu and now Brian. He asks if they are cursed, and Frances tells him he has it easy, as now she has gone to ten elimination ceremonies and they’re not even halfway through the game yet. Paige and Phillippa are also eating together, both similarly complaining about their losing streak. Paige says it's a bummer having to send their friends home one after another, and Phillippa agrees, vowing not to lose this challenge.

Matt is with Ani, and the two are talking about how lucky he is that Duncan saved him with the idol. Ani tells him he has to step it up in challenges or he's going to be sent home, and he agrees.

Ani (CONF): I honestly don't get it, I mean it's not like he's not athletic but...pero like damn does he suck at challenges

Kelsey, Archer and Yuri are also eating breakfast, not minding they’re not in first class because they are coming off a three-comp winning streak going into the last challenge.

In economy class, Fiona is chatting with Sofia about how she is also still kind of upset Helina turned on Sammi back in Aspen. It's been something she's been thinking about a lot.

Fiona (CONF): I just feel like Helina does whatever she wants, whenever she wants

Sofia agrees, thinking maybe it’s time they take her out. Helina is with Ranjitha and Vani, the three talking about how they hope to make the merge together, and Garrett, Dan, Mary, Sam, Myra and Gianna are playing a giant game of Uno, Mary’s present from the previous episode. Myra mocks Gianna, causing the other five to laugh. Mary says it's this part of the game she loves - just all being together, to which Dan rolls his eyes.

Dan (CONF): This is a competition for money, not some hippie friendship vacation

Wilson is trying to sleep on the uncomfortable benches, and Grant explains to Townes and Kirk how happy he was with the Christmas episode, reminding him that God is guiding him through the game. Townes and Kirk are only half-interested, neither very religious.

Kirk (CONF): Honestly I’m just hoping we get to go somewhere tropical next

The plane lands in Bora Bora, the popular island vacation destination. The contestants are excited for warmth. The water is clear, and the sky is a striking shade of blue. They all stand with Chris on a dock with tons of huts lining each side, hovering above the water.

Everyone is psyched to be in such a beautiful destination.

Myra (CONF): This is my kind of destination challenge

Nick (CONF): Oh hell yeah

Mary (CONF): It's hard to go from places like this back to crusty old Wawanakwa

Myra suddenly notices that behind Chris, Ashton is lying there tanning. Chris coughs loudly, and she realizes what he means and she gets up, waving to everyone. Alex and Myra are really excited to see her, but Sam has mixed feelings after their relationship during season one.

Ashton (CONF): I'm honestly glad to see all my friends still in, even Sam...*awkwardly pauses* this is great!

Chris explains today’s challenge is going to be kind of like those “Escape the Room” games that have been becoming popular. Each team has a line of huts down the dock. One person from each team will be in the first ten huts, with the remaining members in the big hut at the end of the dock. Everyone in huts two through the final hut will be tied up and blindfolded. When the starting horn goes, the first person along the line has to figure out how to get out of the first hut. Once they do, they will enter the second hut, untie their teammate and take off his or her blindfold. Then those two will have to work together to get out. Then when those two get out, they will enter the third hut and those three will have to work together to get out, and so on and so forth. In the background, Ashton does the mental math, confused by the challenge.

He goes on and says once they reach the final hut, the entire team will have to work together to get out. They will be filled with puzzles, riddles, and secrets that need to be solved and utilized to get out. He tells everyone to keep a special eye out – because there may be a little advantage in some of the huts. He winks at Duncan and Townes.

Annie (CONF): Having this idol is huge, I just have to be literally so careful with how I use it

He gives the teams some time to strategize, and they break up into huts as follows:

 Hut One: Annie, Archer , & Vani 

 Hut Two: Colby, Ranjitha , & Matt 

 Hut Three: Alex, Wilson , & Frances 

 Hut Four: Nico, Fiona , & Ani 

 Hut Five: Beyla, Grant , & Rourke 

 Hut Six: Nick, Sam , & Mary 

 Hut Seven: Hailey, Helina , & Garrett 

 Hut Eight: Zach, Myra , & Phillippa 

 Hut Nine: Kathryn, Kelsey , & Dan 

 Hut Ten: Izzy, Sofia , & Duncan 

 Final Hut: Eli, Kirsten, Lauren & Miller, Gianna, Kirk, Townes & Yuri , & Paige 

Ashton and some interns help Chris tie up people, laughing with Alex and Myra as she blindfolds them, telling them she really misses this game, and awkwardly touches Sam’s hands as she ties them behind his back and the two both blush. Once everyone is set up, Chris blows the starting horn, and Annie, Archer and Vani burst into their respective huts and get to work.

Every hut for all three teams is identical. The first for all of them has a one-hundred piece jigsaw puzzle that when built, will instruct them on how to get out. on the other side

Vani (CONF): Really Chris? A jigsaw puzzle?

Annie (CONF): Wow Chris, really intuitive first hut

Archer (CONF): Fuck me this is going to take me forever

The three frantically work on putting the pieces together, as Ashton and Chris watch through cameras. He tells her that if they’re smart, they’ll notice there are actually 120 pieces, and the extra twenty fit together to reveal a clue to the hidden immunity idol. Vani, not wanting to lose for the fourth time in a row, kicks it into overdrive, putting pieces together left and right. Annie is also working quickly, but Archer is struggling.

Vani is the first to finish, with the puzzle reading, “Tap the third floorboard from the door four times.” She runs over and does so, and the door pops open. The camera pans back to the puzzle, with the extra pieces just lying off to the side unused. She runs and unties Matt to tackle the second room. There’s giant puzzle pieces, children’s books scattered everywhere, and a giant crossword puzzle on the wall without the clues.

Vani (CONF): This shit is creepy man

Archer, due to how meticulously slowly he is working, realizes that the extra pieces fit together. Annie also notices, and both work on completing both puzzles, which is taking up more time.

Vani and Matt put together the second puzzle, and realize it’s the clue key to the answers for the crossword puzzle, with the answers in the picture books scattered around the hut. The two quickly work on collecting the books as the scene flashes to Annie, who pats herself on the back after completing both puzzles. The second puzzle reads, “The map leading to a second hidden immunity idol is in hut five.” She cheers, not believing her luck.

Annie (CONF): Having two idols would be insane

Matt and Vani finish the crossword puzzle, and the highlighted boxes make a word they have to unscramble “WWODIN.” Vani yells “window”, and the two break out through the window, moving on to the third hut to untie Frances.

Matt (CONF): There is no way in hell we are losing this challenge, because if we do I really think I’m going home

Annie runs over and unties Colby, and she decides to share the clue about the map with him. The two high-five, and quickly work on the second puzzle. Finally, Archer finishes both puzzles, earning himself a pass to hut two and the clue to the map to the idol. He starts untying Ranjitha, not telling her about the idol clue because he still doesn’t fully trust Helina. A side-by-side shows Annie and Colby reading the children’s books for the answers, and Archer and Ranjitha putting together the smaller puzzle for the answer key.

In the meantime, Matt, Vani and Frances walk around a cluttered hut three, the beds messy and things scattered everywhere. On each of the four walls, a framed picture has combinations of lines and dots. The three are sorting through all the materials, but it is taking them a long time, as none of them pay attention to the four framed pictures on the wall.

Annie and Colby jump up and down after climbing out the window as instructed by the clue, and run to untie Alex in the third hut. The three of them also begin sorting through the debris, but more methodically than Team Waka is doing given Annie's leadership.

Archer and Ranjitha aren’t far behind, running to untie Wilson in the third hut.

Wilson (CONF): Now this challenge, this challenge is right up my alley

Wilson immediately takes charge, instructing Ranjitha and Archer to search for anything with writing or anything that has something that remotely resembles the symbols on the walls. Immediately Ranjitha finds a little piece of laminated paper with a tic-tac-toe board on it. There is one dot at the top, and random letters filling in where the X’s and O’s would be. Wilson yells excitedly and hugs Ranjitha, encouraging her and Archer to help him find more.

Archer (CONF): You know, maybe it would be smarter to stick with Kirk Alert over Helina, I mean they haven’t betrayed anyone...

The next scene shows Archer finding a second one with two dots at the top, Annie finding one with two dots on the top, and Matt finding one with three dots on the top. The scene shifts to Team Waka, with Frances finally pointing out the windows on the walls and to specify their search for things with letters and those symbols.

Wilson finds the third with three dots on the top, and figures out the combination of the lines and dots in the framed pictures correspond to the letters' placement on the tic-tac-toe boards, the dot amount telling them which to use. Ranjitha figures out it’s “NORTH”, “SOUTH”, “EAST” and “WEST” on the four walls, and they continue searching to figure out the significance of that.

Colby finds the second tic-tac-toe board, and with only two they figure out “EAST” and “WEST”, but can’t figure out “SOUTH” and “NORTH.”

Alex (CONF): This is horribly confusing

Team Waka also finds all three tic-tac-toe boards, figuring out the puzzle, when Vani finds a little strip of paper with similar code. It says “all three of you stand in the southwest corner at the same time.” The three do as instructed, and the ground goes out from underneath them and they fall into the crystal clear water below. They look over and see Wilson, Ranjitha and Archer fall out as well. Both swim as fast as they can to get out of the water, and run to the fourth hut, untying Ani and Fiona respectively.

Alex finds the clue, but the three misinterpret it and go stand in the northwest corner. When nothing happens, Colby yells to find the southwest corner, and they do as they’re told and head there. Unfortunately for them, this cost them time, and they are the last to enter the fourth hut to get Nico.

The fourth hut is only briefly shown, showing that the challenge is glow-in-the-dark paint on the walls only revealed when covering all the windows and cracks of light, with the words telling them to get on the second bed and push through the roof. It shows Ani and Matt covering a window with a blanket, Wilson and Archer hoisting Fiona up, then Ranjitha, who was already on the roof, pulling her up, and Nico reading the paint and shouting the instructions to Alex, Annie and Colby.

Team Waka and Team Booty enter the fifth hut still in the lead. When they un-blindfold and untie Grant and Rourke, the five see the room is filled to the brink with maps.

Ani (CONF): Well...this is a lot

Archer (CONF): One of these is the map to the idol

Both squads of five begin ripping into the maps, with a montage showing Grant angrily tossing one aside, Ani and Matt studying one intensely, Ranjitha trying to put two together to make a bigger one, Rourke accidentally ripping one as he pulls it out, Fiona surrounded by six maps on the floor around her and ends with Wilson finding one of California with a word on the top “go” He yells for is team to look for ones with words at the top.

Finally Annie, Colby, Alex and Nico break into the fifth hut, untying Beyla. As the five tear through maps, the scene shifts to Fiona finding a map of France with “the” on it. Eventually, they compile eight maps with words on it. Wilson tells them to try and arrange them from west to east, thinking that could be it, and he ends up being right, the code telling them “go to the left bed and climb underneath.” The five are dropped into the water again, and run to untie Sam, wanting to maintain their lead. Archer grins, as a little rolled-up laminated map marked “Final Hut” juts out of his bathing suit.

Another side-by-side shows Alex and Nico frustrated as they tear through the maps, Frances start to arrange words in an order, Beyla finding one with “left” on it, Matt angrily kicking a stack of maps, and finally Colby and Annie getting the last map for Team Glory and yelling for them to get under the bed. Right as they drop, Team Waka drops from theirs, and the two groups make way for the sixth hut.

Nico (CONF): Yeah sure I feel bad for Team Waka, but...not enough to not try and send them back to elimination

The escape of the next few huts is montaged, with Team Booty maintaining their lead and Team Waka and Team Glory struggling to stay out of last place. It first shows Grant and Ranjitha untying Sam, Fiona letting a little marble down a track they built to press a button out of reach, releasing them from the sixth hut, Nick cursing when the marble misses the button and Mary and Ani struggling to piece together the track with Matt barking instructions.

Frances (CONF): This is honestly much harder than I thought it was going to be

Then it shows Annie and Nick untying Hailey, Helina and Archer sweating as they complete a giant slide puzzle that reveals a picture that will help them somehow in hut seven in a side-by-side with Garrett, Ani, Rourke and Mary trying to orient the map it reveals to show how to get out, Phillippa and Rourke reorganizing shirts with numbers in alphabetical order to try and finish a combination lock in hut eight as Nick, Zach and Beyla realize they're a shirt short, Vani untying Dan in a side-by-side with Myra untying Kelsey, Kathryn and Colby cheering when they figure out a WWI cipher in hut nine as Myra, Wilson and Helina look at it stumped, and finally Sofia busting open the door of the tenth hut, the other members of Team Booty in tow.

Chris congratulates Team Booty for being the first to reach the final hut, and Fiona, Wilson and Ranjitha, who had grown accustomed to the pattern of escaping the huts, untie Kirk, Gianna, Yuri and Townes, with Wilson barking instructions.

The last hut is decked out to look like a first-grade classroom. It is filled with riddles, puzzles and secret rooms that need to be completed to get out.

Immediately everyone gets to work, and Archer tries to find time to open his map to find the idol. Helina and Myra get to work on another giant slide puzzle, while Ranjitha and Kirk organize things of various colors in different piles to see if they have any correlation. Sam works on setting up another little marble track, while Gianna, Fiona and Yuri find a secret room that reveals glow in the dark paint on a series of blocks, and begin to build the blocks to see what the message reveals. Townes and Grant boost Sofia up through a roof tile to check through the roof, and while Wilson is helping Kelsey break a code with a series of tic-tac-toe boards, he notices Archer studying a map that wasn’t there when they got in.

Wilson (CONF): I studied absolutely everything right when we came in, and unless that map was hidden, Archer brought it himself, and that's suspicious as hell

Kelsey (CONF): This is actually pretty sick, I feel like a super spy

Team Waka is the next to arrive at their hut, and they immediately get to work. Duncan and Dan are on the slide puzzle, while Garrett boosts Ani to go look through the roof. Paige and Mary work to crack the code, while Matt finds the secret room and begins arranging the blocks to match the symbols on the wall. Frances deals with the miscellaneous things around the room and sorting them to find their meaning, and Phillippa works on the marble track. Rourke and Vani work on a crossword the second it’s revealed thanks to Mary and Paige’s code-cracking.

Team Glory is the last to arrive to their hut. They similarly split up to complete the different tasks and solve the various riddles. Alex and Izzy work to put together the building blocks in the secret room, while Miller and Eli build the track. Lauren and Zach work to put together the puzzle, while Beyla crawls through the roof after Nick and Nico boosts her up. Annie and Kirsten are running around the room, organizing everything, and Kathryn works to crack the code, calling Nick over given he's an engineer after she thinks she has some sort of lead. It then shows Hailey and Colby solving the crosswords puzzle, leading to another riddle that leads to the answer to a combination lock with letters on it.

Ashton, Chris and Chef each are on one of the long stretches of huts, waiting to see who will burst out first. Ashton is now fully invested in the challenge, the adrenaline kicking in. In a twist, Team Waka ends up breaking out first when Paige and Phillippa come busting out of the door, having solved the final combination lock. Chris announces Team Waka will not be going to elimination, for the first time since the new teams were formed. They go wild, with Duncan jokingly throwing Rourke into the water prompting the others to follow suit.

Amidst the celebration, Wilson confidently opens the door, expecting to be first, and is upset to learn that they were beat by Team Waka. He scolds his team for everyone not putting in their full effort, shooting a look Archer’s way.

Archer (CONF): Hey, it ended up working out just fine for me *grins and holds up a hidden immunity idol*

Team Glory comes bursting out a few minutes later, upset to learn that they came in last and would be sent to the night’s barfbag ceremony. Annie also looked at Colby and curses, given they could never find any sort of map to the idol.

Kirsten (CONF): *laughing* Oh yeah, this is gonna be a bloodbath

At dinner at the tropical resort, Team Waka is just psyched to not be going to the elimination ceremony for the fourth time in a row. Wilson is expressing he’s annoyed they should have won to Kirk, with Helina overhearing and rolling her eyes. Archer is at a table with Sofia and Gianna, and he reveals to them he found the idol. Sofia has to hold back from cheering with excitement, upset after losing Morgan, Leigh and Sammi from their alliance, and tells him if they use this right they can turn around the game.

Nick is trying to convince Miller, Annie, and Nico and to help him try and fracture the big alliance. He tells the three of them that Dan and Kirsten have too strong of a bond to not be threatening. He also says that even if they all make the merge together, Team Glory will always prioritize the original members over the add on. Miller comments that he brings up a good point, but Nico and Annie look hesitant. Nick looks worriedly over at the other table.

Nick (CONF): If I don't make a move fast, I'm screwed

In the meantime, Alex is with Eli, Colby, Kirsten, Lauren, Zach, Kathryn, Hailey, Beyla and Izzy, and the ten discuss the pros of voting out Nick versus one of the new Team Friendship additions. Colby heavily defends Annie and Miller, to which Alex agrees, but then he agrees when Zach, Beyla and Kathryn defend Nico and Kirsten and Beyla defend Nick. Izzy says she's sorry but he has to vote for someone, and Alex pauses before unwinding that he thinks that Nick would be better to keep around to have a stronger base of Glory-contestants, but that Nico, Miller and Annie all provide a huge moral and physical boost to the team. Everyone begins debating again, as the camera shows Alex looking guilty.

In line to get more food, Nick approaches Alex and Lauren who are laughing in line in hopes they'll help him turn the tides on Kirsten. He says that they're former roommates, and that they have a better shot at staying loyal to one another than the notoriously untrustworthy Kirsten. He also argues that being in a relationship is dangerous, because it's an airtight alliance and gives their agenda an automatic two votes. He also says Kirsten and Dan will never turn on one another. Lauren says he brings up a really good point, while Alex says he has to think it over.

The last scene shows Nick talking to Annie, Hailey and Zach, all of them nodding their heads as he whispers a plan.

~*ELIMINATION CEREMONY*~

Chris walks out and reminds them to go into the confessional and stamp the passport of the contestant they want eliminated.

Hailey (CONF): Sorry dude, I really do like you *stamps Nick’s passport*

Zach (CONF): Kind of a no brainer if you ask me *stamps Nick’s passport*

Nick (CONF): Good lord let’s hope this works *stamps Kirsten’s passport*

Kirsten (CONF): Love you baby Nick, but you gunning for me just isn't gonna cut it *stamps Nick’s passport*

Chris walks out with a plate full of thirteen barfbags filled with airline-issued peanuts. The first barfbag goes to…

Lauren.

Lauren smiles as she catches her barfbag.

Alex. Annie. Nico. Hailey. Izzy.

All five hug and jump up and down.

Miller. Colby. Kathryn. Eli. Zach. Beyla.

The camera shows each of the six catching their barfbags, with relieved looks on their faces. That leaves Kirsten and Nick as the bottom two, leading Kirsten to glare at Nick knowing he was campaigning against her. Nick scrunches up his face and crosses both fingers, while Kirsten begins to sweat nervously. Chris hands the last barfbag to…

Kirsten.

Nick sighs, saying he tried. He tells them he had a great time, and that he's really going to miss everyone. Alex, Beyla and even Kirsten hug him tightly. Once he finishes saying his goodbyes, he straps on a parachute and jumps out the Drop of Shame. After he jumps, Chris comments the Duke kid made it further than he thought he would.

Nick (CONF): I mean yeah of course I’m pissed I got voted out, the experience of a lifetime is getting cut short; they’re just lucky they had the numbers because I would have totally owned this game down the road - and hey, for someone who went to a rival school, I think I did pretty damn well

Chris says they have the rest of the day to rest at the beautiful resort inland of the long docks with all the huts. Everyone cheers, as the scene transitions to Team Glory meeting the other two teams in the lobby. Helina, Yuri and Ranjitha look heartbroken that Nick got voted out with others like Duncan looking surprised. Kirsten immediately runs into Dan's arms, with her saying she has a lot to catch him up on.

The scene shifts to Alex and Kirk in a double-tube floating down a lazy river next to Ashton and Myra and Annie and Colby in two other sets of double tubes. They all laugh and talk before unknowingly going under a huge waterfall and getting soaked. Grant and Sam happily run through the different waterfalls, making their way through the lazy river on foot. In the pool right next door, Beyla, Helina, Ani, Duncan, Nico, Ranjitha and Gianna play the "movie game", with Townes, Matt and Fiona with their legs hanging in and occasionally hoisting up and running over excitedly if they know an answer.

Kathryn plays slots in the resort casino, on a machine next to Kelsey with the two girls laughing, and Zach, Garrett and Eli play blackjack nearby while Paige and Wilson coach Izzy and Phillippa on Texas Hold Em' at a table over. Sofia and Mary watch Fiona play the marble game, as she is on a winning streak and has attracted a large crowd that boisterously cheers alongside them every time she wins. Chef is also at the casino, in an intense game of DDR which Archer, Miller and Frances hysterically laugh at. Kirsten and Dan are in the casino's restaurant, with her updating Dan on everything that went down before the elimination ceremony.

The night’s festivities take place on the beach of Bora Bora, much nicer than the usual Wawanakwa beach parties.

Yuri (CONF): This is kind of weird because it reminds me of the beach celebration after Sierra was voted out back in Hawaii and there were so many more of us back then

*flashback to Brian and Clay laughing as they night surf, Erica telling a story, Morgan and Abbey on top of their friends shoulders in a chicken-fight, and Suzanne laughing alongside Yuri and co as they play three shot – it ends with Nick laughing as he dances with Chloe and Sibu*

The lights underneath the dock light up the crystal clear water, so everyone is in the water celebrating. Phillippa, Izzy and Paige decide to skinny-dip, causing the other contestants to laugh. Alex, Kirk, Beyla, Helina, Kelsey, Ranjitha, Townes and Garrett are body-surfing, competing to see who can make it the furthest.

Townes (CONF): It’s kind of funny this game has turned literally everything into a competition

Archer hoists Sofia onto his shoulders to take on Fiona and Yuri in a chicken fight, with Rourke charging into battle on Wilson’s shoulders. Annie, Duncan, Colby and Miller are locked in a splash fight, and Matt, Ani, Dan, Kirsten and Zach are tossing around a football. Myra sits right on the shore with Ashton, Gianna and Frances, letting the water rise and fall over them as they just sit there and relax, and Sam, Kathryn and Hailey come running down from the beach, trying to see who can run the furthest without falling. When Sam splashes Ashton, she jokingly chases after him, and Alex joins and tackles the two onto Myra, causing the four to laugh as the scene fades to black.
