Line #16 Recap/TotalDramaILoveYouILoveYouKnots


1	The teams play a twisted version of Truth or Dare where they will get shocked if they fail to complete their turn. Rodney continuously fails to tell the truth, believing that doing so will break the girls' hearts. Samey continues to pose as Amy unknown to the other campers except Jasmine, and Dave doesn't get the chance to kiss Sky that he was hoping for.

3	!! Tropes:
4	* BalloonBelly: Sky's belly bulges out with gas after she drinks a large jug of mineral water as a dare. She doesn't feel well after that and can't predict which side the gas is going to come out of.
5	* CrushBlush: Sky blushes when Dave is dared to kiss someone sitting next to him and Shawn makes a run for it, leaving only her as an option. Sky isn't ready yet to admit she likes Dave, so like Dave she hides behind the fact they need to do this to win the challenge.
6	* ElectricTorture: Either the contestants do the dare or fess up or they'll get shocked.
7	* ForegoneConclusion: During the elimination, Chris says it's down to Rodney and Scarlett. As in past episodes, he tries to gin up the drama by pointing out the ways each contestant screwed up, but he just can't for Scarlett because she obviously did better than Rodney by a wide margin like everyone else. After struggling to think of a reason to justify teasing this out, a frustrated Chris just states Rodney's eliminated and tosses Scarlett a marshmallow.
8	* KillerRabbit: Clucky the chicken.
9	* KissingInATree: During a confessional, Shawn shares his reasons as to why he doesn't want to get romantically involved with Jasmine by means of the song. In his view, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes your brain being eaten by a zombie baby that was hiding in your pillow.
10	* LetMeAtHim:
11	** Sugar aims to take down Ella for using pageant talk. Fortunately for Ella, Sugar gets restrained by Dave and Shawn.
12	** Rodney taunts the chicken Clucky by telling her he eats six eggs a day. She wants to fight him, but Chris holds her back with both his arms and words... for a few minutes.
13	* LivingLieDetector: Clucky the chicken is an animal version of this trope, almost never getting anything wrong.
14	* TheLoad: Rodney becomes this due to being unable to answer his Truths repeatedly, because he didn't want to hurt the girls' feelings (whom he believed were all in love with him).
15	* LoveMakesYouDumb: Rodney ''really'' falls into this as he deludes himself into thinking all his female teammates are interested in him and his inability to be honest about it seals his fate.
16	* NiceGirl: Ella's Truth asks her what she would change about herself and her honest answer is whatever is stopping her and Sugar from being friends. She is also reluctant about pressing the button that will shock team Kinosewak because that would be too mean, despite the fact that pressing that button is the only way for team Maskwak to win. Luckily for her, Clucky grabs the remote and electrocutes team Kinosewak due to Rodney's taunting, which still counts as a win for the Maskwak.
17	* OhNoNotAgain: Max's reaction when Rodney is selected for the tiebreaker, after the latter being TheLoad for the Kinosewak throughout the entire challenge.
18	* PunBasedTitle: The title comes from the game "he loves me... he loves me not".
19	* RapidFireNo: During a confessional, Sky notes that she belches when she's nervous, such as when she is near a guy she likes. She realizes this is an admission that she crushes on Dave, which she's not ready for, so she backtracks with "NO!--No! No!" and blaming the mineral water for her belching.
20	* {{Sadist}}: Before announcing the big tiebreaker, Chris says he could do this all day.
21	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Shawn quickly runs after Dave dare (to kiss someone next to him) almost put him on the receiving end of things.
22	* ShippedInShackles: Rodney antagonizes Clucky by boasting that he eats six eggs a day. Chris prevents Clucky from attacking Rodney then and there, but as soon as the controller to shock the Pimâpotew Kinosewak comes within reach, Clucky dives for it and smashes the button in crazed fury. As Clucky is no longer trustworthy, she is wheeled off tied to a trolley and with a mask over her beak. A straitjacket hangs over her neck, but doesn't actually hold her wings. It's implied she gets turned into dinner that evening.
23	* ShockCollar: For the Truth-or-Scare contest, the campers get outfitted with shock collars. Any time someone fails their assigned truth or scare, they and their entire team incur a strong shock. Rodney gets a lot of truths and fails all of them, causing the Pimâpotew Kinosewak to resent him for the pain he puts them through. On top of that, he loses the tie-breaker and because he insulted Clucky earlier, the chicken goes ape on the controller to the Pimâpotew Kinosewak' collars. Rodney gets voted off that evening.
24	* ShoutOut:
25	** Shawn calls zombies "[[Series/TheWalkingDead walkers]]".
26	** Sugar eating the tarantula comes from a challenge in ''Series/{{Survivor}}''.
27	** Clucky is carted off the island restrained in a manner similar to Hannibal Lecter in ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs''.
28	** The reward is named after Humpty Dumpty, the nursery rhyme character.
29	** Chris fires the Cannon of Shame with Rodney in it, accidentally hitting a nearby ship. Chris jokes that he's [[TabletopGame/{{Battleship}} "just sunk someone's battleship"]], which can be also interpreted as him sinking the Rodney x Amy ship -- the former is about to confess his feelings for the latter but is interrupted by Chris.
30	* SlasherSmile: Shawn gets one after turning to Dave for his dare (wipe a booger on someone's shirt).
31	* SpoilerTitle: While not as obvious as some other examples in the series, the title of the episode spoils that Rodney, who constantly falls in love with a different girl, is still in the competition and will gain some CharacterFocus here.
32	* TemptingFate: When he learned that the tiebreaker was not truth, Rodney taunted Clucky, telling the psychopathic chicken that he ate 6 eggs a day. Not only Rodney was unable to complete the challenge, Clucky zapped him (and his team) repeatedly when Ella gotten the remote first.
33	* WheelOfDecisions: In a game of Truth or Dare, whoever has to perform and whether they have to perform a truth or dare is decided at random with two parallel digital reels. It's Chris's choice which particular truth has to be shared or which particular dare has to be undertaken. The reels may be rigged due to the many times Rodney is selected and always to perform a truth, which always concerns one of his crushes and which he therefore always fails.
34	* WorthIt: During the tiebreaker, Sugar roots for Rodney. When it's pointed out she would would get electrocuted if Ella loses, Sugar says this.
