Dodge This!

Plot
The episode opens up with the members of Team Victory enjoying the luxury cabin for the first time. The common room is a beautiful space, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a roaring fireplace and a giant banquet table. There's also an open space, and music is blasting (Matt insisted he play some Taylor Swift) and everyone is celebrating. Cassy does the worm causing Cohen and Channing to laugh, and Camila does the robot prompting the same response from Sam, Nathan, Lizzie, Ian and Kacvinsky.

 Ian (CONF):  This place is incredible, I don't think I can go back to those ratty original cabins from the first night...

*flashback to Matt squealing as a giant cockroach crawls over him*

Bailey jokingly drops it as Lizzie, Cassy and Sam cheer her on. Suddenly, Caroline turns off the music and calls a team meeting.

 Cooper (CONF):  Ok captain buzzkill...

She says that this challenge they're really going to need to watch their backs, because the two other teams will be trying twice as hard to beat them. Especially Team Boss, having suffered back-to-back losses. Despite the annoyance, everyone knows she's right so they nod their heads in agreement. A satisfied Caroline turns the music back on and Rachel stars mom dancing, prompting more laughter as the scene transitions to the porch of Team Boss's cabin.

 Rachel (CONF):  I've got to make sure I stay *pulling up airquotes* "in" as the kids say, because if we lose I'm definitely at risk of being one of the first voted off

Caelan is even angrier at his team after they voted off his girlfriend immediately after blindsiding his best friend.

 Catherine (CONF):  Ok like...at the time I thought letting Anna be free from the competition was for the best but now I'm not so sure...Caelan is really starting to scare me

 Alex (CONF):  I can't have Catherine regretting her decision to vote off Anna, she needs to be 100% focused

Sitting in a circle on the grass outside the cabin is Marisa, Joseph, Serena, Kalee, Samantha and Trevor. It's revealed en route to Egypt, Marisa formed an alliance with the five in hopes they could counteract Caelan's big connections on the team.

 Marisa (CONF):  Not to mention I need to keep Samantha and Trevor away from him...

Marisa is strategizing with the five, saying that they needed to get Alli and Nathanael into their alliance so that they have majority in case Caelan figures out they're the ones who led the charge to eliminate Anna.

In the meantime, Caelan enters the messhall where Alex, Andy, Catherine, John, JP and Collin sit. Caelan says they need to make sure they have Trevor and Samantha so that they can start to take out the weaker players on their team.

 Caelan (CONF):  We have a clear numbers advantage, it's completely ridiculous Grant and Anna were the first two voted off

A few tables down, Clayton, Katie, Aaron, Ruchi, Justin, Myra, David and Chase are cracking jokes at a table next to Ashton, Liz, Evan, Ellie, Becca and Ilan.

 Clayton (CONF):  This team is so fucking fun to be on

Ashton is getting angry, believing that eventually her team is going to realize this is a competition but by then it will be too late.

 Ashton (CONF):  Well, they're going to figure it out sooner or later

Suddenly, Chris calls the contestants to the beach over the intercom. The scene flashes to the forty-nine competitors outside of a giant glass arena. Chris reveals the challenge is going to be a classic dodgeball tournament, with each team competing against the other two twice in a round robin style format. A win gets a point, and the team with the most points at the end wins the challenge.

 Serena (CONF):  Oh great, another physical challenge...

Chris says he randomly chose the first match up, and it's going to be Team Boss pitted against Team Firecrotch. He tells each team to send out six players. Team Boss sends out Collin, Andy, Caelan, Catherine, Kalee, and Marisa. Team Firecrotch sends out Justin, Ilan, Chase, Liz, Connor, and Becca.

 Becca (CONF):  We got this one in the bag

Connor taunts that he hopes their feelings don't get hurt when they lose their third-straight challenge, prompting Caelan to roll his eyes and start getting angry.

Chris lines up six dodgeballs in the middle of the court and Chef blows the whistle. The scene switches to slow-motion, showing the six from each side take off toward the center. Marisa and Andy both grab a ball and run back, but the rest are claimed by Team Firecrotch. Chase, Liz, Connor, and Ilan are shown holding dodgeballs and grinning.

 Ilan (CONF):  Almost too easy...

Caelan tells his team to not throw any yet, and just dodge so they'll get all six of them. Liz, Chase, and Ilan all hurl their balls at Marisa and Catherine, who swiftly jump and dodge around them. This leaves Team Boss with five out of the six balls. Connor then winds up and throws his, nailing Collin in the stomach but giving the sixth dodgeball to Team Boss. Chase, Ashton and Evan are loudly cheering for their team.

Caelan then whispers "Justin" to his teammates. Dramatic music plays as Andy, Caelan, Catherine, Kalee and Marisa step up to the line one-by-one, and on "three" hurl their balls at Justin, all five making contact. Team Firecrotch's cheering stops, as the Caelan just grins and Catherine and Kalee hug and jump up and down and Marisa and Andy high-five. The strategy continues, showing a montage of five balls hitting Liz's stomach, Chase's face, Ilan's chest, Connor's side and finally Becca, who dramatically falls to the ground. Team Firecrotch is speechless, as Team Boss erupts into cheering. This earns Team Boss the first point of the game, and Chris says that they can now choose who they face next. Caelan says they want to switch things up and face Team Victory.

 Cassy (CONF):  Not gonna lie, I'm a little scared after that dominating performance

For round two, Team Boss sends out Alli, Nathanael, Samantha, Caelan, Joseph, and Andy to face off against Ian, Cassy, Caroline, Camila, Nathan and Bailey from Team Victory. Caroline is clapping her hands, telling her team to stay on their feet, as Matt, Kacvinsky, Eugenia and Channing jump and cheer on the side. The teams get ready, and when Chef blows the starting whistle dart for the dodgeballs lining the center. Ian, Caroline and Nathan each manage to grab a dodgeball, as do Nathanael, Samantha and Andy. Cassy tells her team to watch out for the previous strategy, but despite this, a montage shows Ian, Camila and Bailey all getting wiped out by six dodgeballs.

 Camila (CONF):  *rubbing her neck* Ok ow...

Alli and Nathanael smirk at one another, giving Cassy the window to quickly chuck two in their direction and knock out both. This sparks some more energy in Team Victory, bringing Cohen and Emily to their feet to join the others in cheering for their teammates. Unfortunately, she's distracted by her success and Samantha, Caelan and Andy triple-team her. Caroline tries to take out Samantha, who catches it allowing Nathanael to rejoin Team Boss and sending Caroline off the court. Nathanael joins Jen, Andy, Caelan and Samantha in quickly taking out Nathan and earning a second point for Team Boss. Marisa, Alex and John are going insane on the sidelines, with JP yelling to Connor asking what he meant by a "third loss".

 JP (CONF):  Alright baby let's do this

John looks over and sees Camila holding her neck in pain. He comes over and asks if she wants to go for a walk and she agrees. Emily watches them walk away, awing at how cute of a gesture that was. When Caroline comes over and asks where Camila went, Emily lets it slip, prompting Caroline to angrily storm after them.

 Caroline (CONF):  What the hell does Camila think she's doing?

Team Boss breaks a huddle, and tells Chris they want to face Team Victory again for the third round of the tournament. Team Boss sends out Serena, Trevor, Alex, Marisa, JP and Catherine. Team Victory sends out Kacvinsky, Eugenia, Rachel, Ian, Sam and Lizzie.

 Sam (CONF):  Alright let's fucking do this

Team Victory is more cognizant of the killer strategy this round, starting to use it as their own. Kacvinsky, Sam, and Lizzie each grab a ball, teaming up to take out Alex. Then Ian throws out Marisa and Eugenia catches a ball that was thrown at her by JP. The six then turn around and team up and throw out Serena and Trevor simultaneously. This leaves Catherine, who is quickly eliminated by Rachel. A silence follows, before Matt, Channing, Nathan and Emily burst into cheers from the sideline, and Team Victory celebrates their first point. They begin to hype themselves up and prepare for round four, where they have to face Firecrotch for the first time.

Caroline returns, glaring at John and dragging Camila by the ear. She cheers when she learns that Team Victory earned a point.

 Camila (CONF):  Alright Caroline you need to chill...

 John (CONF):  Man she has got to be voted out

A montage follows of the fourth and fifth rounds between Team Firecrotch and Team Victory.

The first montage shows Bailey nailing Evan in the stomach, Cohen throwing out Aaron, Katie sliding underneath a ball thrown by Ian only to be hit by Cassy and Camila and ends with Channing giggling then viciously throwing out Ellie, Brandon and Becca back to back. It ends with Ashton on the bench, scolding her team for not taking this seriously and getting their asses absolutely handed to them. David tells her to chill, and she asks why he doesn't go in and help then and he rolls his eyes and sarcastically says because they're doing so well without him.

The second montage shows Nathan catching Ruchi's ball, Myra getting nailed in the stomach by Cohen, Kacvinsky and Sydney both throw then Alma and Ashton both get hit, Chase managing to get a hit on Channing and ends with Matt throwing Chase and Justin out. A sullen silence falls over Team Firecrotch's bench. Ashton angrily says she hopes they're happy, before stomping off. Chris announces he's disappointed with Team Firecrotch's performance, and that they will be sending someone home at the campfire ceremony that night.

 Alma (CONF):  ...shit just got real

David cracks another joke, but this time it isn't as well received, with Chase rolling his eyes and Ruchi throwing her head in her hands.

Team Victory on the other hand, has three points.

 Emily (CONF):  Too easy *winks at the camera*

The sixth and final match-up will be pitching Team Boss against Team Firecrotch. Chris says if Team Boss wins, they'll be joining Team Victory in the lapse of luxury either in the luxury cabin or in first class. Ashton returns, trying to rally her team to prevent Team Boss from earning such a reward.

 Brandon (CONF):  I mean Ashton has a good point, we can't let Team Boss celebrate with Team Victory while we're alone in loserville

She asks who wants to volunteer, stating the only two who haven't competed yet are Clayton and David. David declines, saying there's no point in embarrassing himself at this point.

 Myra (CONF):  Like, obviously none of us want that but you haven't even played yet...

Team Firecrotch decides to send in Ruchi, Ashton, Aaron, Connor, Justin and Katie against Trevor, John, Caelan, Collin, Kalee and Alex. Chef yells the whistle, and the Team Firecrotch members fight hard to prevent Team Boss from winning. Unfortunately, David ends up distracting Justin and Aaron with a joke causing both to get thrown out by John, who had picked up two balls.

A quick montage shows Ashton jump over a ball, Connor duck under one, Collin dive to retrieve a ball and Alli, Samantha, Nathanael and Marisa cheering hard on the sidelines.

 Nathanael (CONF):  We gotta get that W for team morale

Katie, Ruchi and Ashton team up and take out Alex, before Trevor and John fire a barrage at them wiping all three out. Justin tries his best, but is overpowered by John, Caelan, Collin, Trevor and Kalee and Team Boss wins the point. Chris loudly announces Team Boss will be joining Team Victory, prompting the two teams to run toward one another and jump up and down and cheer. Kacvinsky and Channing run and hug Marisa while Caelan, Ian and Nathan chest bump. Caroline and Bailey run over to hug Alli and Joseph, Serena, Kalee, Cassy and Rachel group hug. John joking tackles Sam and JP to the ground, and Collin and Cohen wrestle. It really starts to sink in for Team Firecrotch that they'll be sending someone home that night.

Sitting at the mess hall for dinner, Team Firecrotch discuss who they are going to eliminate. Chase suggests David for not competing in a single round and distracting them during the games. Everyone seems to agree, until Ellie pitches that Clayton hadn't been much help either. Becca and Ilan back her up, trying to get the attention off David. Aaron and Justin jump to Clayton's aid, but debate intensifies.

 David (CONF):  Shit...

 Clayton (CONF):  Going home today would absolutely blow

Clayton and David both fight for their lives, desperately wanting to stay in the game and finally realizing the levity of the situation. Clayton argues he'll be better in strength challenges, with David arguing he's quicker and is better for team morale.

 Ashton (CONF):  I'm glad people are finally starting to take this game a little more seriously, if only it had happened before the challenge *rolls her eyes*

--

At the campfire ceremony, all of the Firecrotch members look nervous. It doesn't look clear to anyone who is going to be the first to get the boot from their team, because no decision had been made as a team as to whether it was going to be David or Clayton. Chris arrived, saying he was disappointed by their lack of effort in the day's challenge.

He hands the first marshmallow to...

Ruchi.

She sighs with relief.

Liz. Aaron. Ashton. Justin.

Ashton still looks annoyed, as Liz, Aaron and Justin smile as they catch their marshmallows. Ruchi hugs Ashton, who eventually breaks and smiles.

Evan. Chase. Becca. Connor. Myra

Ruchi cheers for Myra, and Justin loops Connor into his hug. Becca watches as Ilan and Ellie wait for their signs of safety.

Ilan. Katie. Brandon. Ellie. Alma.

Becca hugs Ilan, Ellie and Alma, as Brandon, Katie and Liz join in a three-way hug. The bottom two of the night are David and Clayton, and Chris gives the final marshmallow to...

Clayton.

David looks absolutely shocked, as he thought he had way more connections on the team than Clayton did. He sadly walks the Dock of Shame, before boarding the Boat of Losers.

 David (CONF):  I...I never thought it would come to this...I never thought it would come to this...this fucking blows

Ashton then announces that she was happy with the decision, which some people find ill-timed.

PARTY.
