The Killer Grips are seriously desperate for a win. Luckily, Justin has a secret weapon; Gwen owes them for Trent's cheating! Gwen's Really wants to win $1,000,000 badly, but she also doesn't want to be on the receiving end of bad karma. So with the challenge being a prison movie, Gwen decides she has to swallow her pride and force herself to do something she hates more than having to be around Heather; lose! However, losing proves to be easier said then done as far as the Screaming Gaffers are concerned. Normally, Lindsey and her gag reflex ensures that Lindsey can't hold anything in her stomach down for long, but D.J. Finally starts to become likable with an Actual skill! D.J. can actually cook and with his secret spice, can make Anything taste heavenly. So when D.J. spices up the Grips' dish, Lindsey is able to eat it. But victory eludes the Grips when Gwen finds Beth's retainer in her dish, and it makes Lindsey puke Right onto Gwen's face! :lol: Talk about bad karma! So not only do the Gaffer's have a shovel to break out of prison, they also have D.J.'s new, tough attitude to push them! Once again, the Grips force Gwen's hand in the matter, and Gwen convinces D.J. to stand down so She can push her team-mates to the X on the ground where they're supposed to dig. Lindsey proves to be surprisingly fast when it comes to pushing her fellow team-mates, and Gwen almost forgets she's supposed to throw the challenge! Unfortunately, Gwen's attempts to throw the challenge aren't as subtle as Justin's attempts to cover it up, and Heather actually puts 2+2 together and figures out Gwen is purposely cheating for the Grips in order to repay for Trent's misdeeds. And when Izzy comes back and leads the Gaffer's off-course, the Gaffer's finally lose and Gwen's worst nightmare becomes reality. Fairly or unfairly, she not only loses, she gets the bad end of Duncan's lover karma; proving if you try to cheat karma, it can only end up badly! :idea: Enough said! ;)moreless

This was a thrilling episode of Total Drama Island the best camper went crazy and Izzy is back. First, Gwen goes crazy after she owes the Killer Grips so she lost the challenge on purpose. 4 people voted her off even herself. It was sad since she was one of the favorites. But, then good news Izzy is back. She has somehow living underground with the prairie dogs because technically E-Scope got voted off not Izzy so now shes back for good. Now, the Killer Grips have 1 more person and Owen seems happy about it. Since, he loves her. Overall a shocking episode!!moreless

QUOTES (16)
ADD QUOTES
- Gwen: (in Lame-o-sine after being voted off) Guess I'm not gonna get my necklace back from Trent. Oh well, guess that's karma for ya. I'm so relieved this is all over. (looks out window) Is that Trent? Hurry up, driver! (to cameraman) Can we shut this off now? Aftershow? There's an aftershow? Oh, you have got to be kidding! Let me out of here!
  EDIT SHARE
- (in the confessional)
  Harold: Thing is, if Gwen had stayed in the game. According to prison rules, I'd either have to break a shovel over her head, or fall in love with her. Obviously neither option was feasible.
  EDIT SHARE
- Chris: (to Chef) So, you ever seen that prison flick? The one with the guy in it? You know, the guy with the face? (Chef shrugs) So, you doing anything after work? We could always rent a...or not. I was busy anyway. Very busy, just throwing it out there.
  EDIT SHARE
- (in confessional)
  Heather: My vote plus LeShawna and Harold's equals the greatest day of my life. Bye bye, Gwennie!
  EDIT SHARE
- Owen: If you were food, you'd be dessert! Chocolate covered chococlate with chocolate sauce and sprinkles...(laughs)...chocolate ones!!!
  Izzy: (laughs) That is so nice, Owen! You're a banana split with, like, 26 bananas and a whole lotta split! Yeah!
  EDIT SHARE
- (in confessional)
  Gwen: Definition of lousy: being a stickler for your word and having to vote yourself off. (looks and points upwards) Whoever's in charge of karma, I hope that counts for something.
  EDIT SHARE
- (in confessional)
  Harold: (after Gwen breaks a shovel over his head) Classic prison madness and that shovel thing? Heck, everyone knows first day of prison, break something over some big dude's back, then nobody messes with you. I'm kinda scared of Gwen now and kinda of attracted to her. Don't tell LeShawna or Heather or Gwen!
  EDIT SHARE
- LeShawna: (to Heather) I trust anyone more than I trust you!
  EDIT SHARE
- (in confessional)
  Harold: Everybody knows that more wars have been won with a shovel than a sword. Give a man a hole and what does he have? Nothing, but give a man a shovel and he can dig a hole to contain the nothing.
  EDIT SHARE
- (in confessional)
  Gwen: I know I owe the Grips because of Trent's cheating but even if we forget Lindsay's shampoo incident, last night, she nearly hurled because LeShawna's gum smelled too "minty fresh"? How am I going to puke before that?
  EDIT SHARE
- (in confessional)
  Harold: (referring to prison challenge) Talk about overkill. This place is plenty prison like already, not that I'm complaining. I mean, I should probably be locked up for the ladies sake anyways.
  EDIT SHARE
- (in confessional)
  Gwen: Ever since the whole awful Trent thing went down, I've just been waiting for karma to bite me in the butt but what could I do? He was my weakness, my achilles heel. We all have one. Luckily, Heather has a whole bunch of useful ones. Glittery objects, new hair products, shameless flattery.
  EDIT SHARE
- Heather: (referring to trailer the girls are locked in) This trailer is as tight as the space between Lindsay's ears.
  Lindsay: Awww, thank you!
  EDIT SHARE
- Harold: Owen! We had cowboy beans last night. You're seriously risking a toxic gas leak!
  Owen: Is that all I am to you? Some kind of human fart machine?
  Duncan: Uhh, We just value our lives, is all. All right, big guy?
  Owen: Awww, I love you guys! (hugs the guys)
  EDIT SHARE
- (in confessional)
  Harold: Rule number one-DO NOT wake Owen's beast within first thing in the morning!
  EDIT SHARE
- Chris: (in a sarcastic voice) Stay tuned to find out who will win this week. Could it be...the Grips?
  Owen: Hey! We heard that!
  Beth: It could still happen! We're not losers!
  Chris: Riigghhtt!!!
