Not So Happy Campers

"Not So Happy Campers" is the first and second episodes of the first season of Total Drama. It originally aired in Canada on July 8, 2007.

Part 1
Chris McLean introduces the audience to Total Drama Island, a reality competition featuring twenty-two teens competing on an island for one million dollars. Once all the contestants arrive, they take a group photo and are sorted into two teams. The first team, the Screaming Gophers, consists of Beth, Cody, Gwen, Heather, Justin, Katie, Leshawna, Lindsay, Noah, Owen, and Trent while the opposing team, the Killer Bass, consists of Bridgette, Courtney, DJ, Duncan, Eva, Ezekiel, Geoff, Harold, Izzy, Sadie, and Tyler.

After going to their cabins to unpack, they arrive at the mess hall where they meet the camp's chef, Chef Hatchet. He serves them some brown slop, much to their dismay. Chris returns and announces their first challenge begins in one hour, prompting Katie and DJ to discuss how hard their first challenge could be.

Part 2
The campers are faced with their first challenge: jumping off a one thousand foot high cliff into a lake. The Killer Bass team goes first, and most campers jump off the cliff, however DJ is too afraid to and Courtney claims to have a condition.

Sadie and Izzy are the last two members of the team, but Sadie refuses to jump without Katie, and Chris allows it, putting Katie and Sadie on the Killer Bass with Izzy on the Screaming Gophers and the two then jump. When it comes time for the Gophers to jump, Heather refuses, and after an argument, Leshawna throws her off the cliff. All of the campers on the Gophers jump except for Beth, however they still have more jumpers than the Bass.

The contestants then must haul crates filled with supplies to build hot tubs with back to the cabins. Due to having more jumpers in the first part of the challenge, the Gophers get pull carts for their supplies. After failing to work together, Courtney attempts to get the team on the same page, however they continue to argue and lose the second part of the challenge. At dinner, they try to agree on who to vote off, however Ezekiel, unbeknownst to him, makes a bunch of sexist comments. That night, it comes down to him and Courtney, with him being eliminated.
