The contestants are put though a horror movie challenge. Chef and DJ's illegal alliance comes to a head.
Tropes:
- Bring My Brown Pants: Lindsay wets herself when Beth scares her as part of a challenge. Luckily, she was already in an outhouse.
- Continuity Nod: Lindsay mentions having use the confessional as an actual toilet in Island.
- Character Development: Lindsay starts to realize she's been a follower for her entire life and tries to change it.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Chris doesn't look all that pleased when it was revealed that DJ and Chef had an illegal alliance.
- Failed Attempt at Scaring: For the horror movie themed-challenge, the teams have to have one person dress as the serial killer, and whoever makes their own team scream the loudest wins. Beth gets to be the killer for a scene that calls for two characters to make out. Izzy and Owen, who are already a couple, start making out, and get really into it. When Beth tries to scare them with a long knife and announces, "I'm gonna chop you into little teriyaki bits!", they're not scared at all, do a tiny scream, and then get back to making out. (It doesn't help that Beth is a short, nerdy girl who isn't particularly scary to begin with.)
- Food Porn: A mild example when we see DJ making sandwiches for everybody.
- Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: After fainting from fright, DJ hallucinates that his mother is with him. She tells him she's disappointed in him because he has lied and cheated. She slaps him for it, but in the real world the slap comes from Heather who is trying to get DJ to snap out of his daze and stop mumbling. She slaps him again when he tells her he needs to speak to Chef, because she isn't aware of DJ's alliance with him and thinks he's still not fully conscious.
- Hidden Depths: Lindsay manages to see right through two of the tricks meant to scare her team out of the dining hall.
- Heroic BSoD: Owen doesn't take losing DJ's cooking well.
- Heroic Sacrifice: DJ quits the game as penance for his actions and to save a grip from elimination.
- Huddle Shot: DJ is terrified to the point of fainting. He comes to in a semi-sitting position surrounded by his concerned fellow contestants. Still half-hallucinating, DJ doesn't register them as he talks to his mother in his dream. Heather slaps him to full consciousness.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Chris fakes being affected by this before explaining the challenge to the contestants.
- It Tastes Like Feet: After kissing Duncan, Heather disgustedly declares that he "tastes like street!"
- Jump Scare: This is the first part of the challenge, with one member of each team trying to scare a member of the same team in a portable toilet.
- Lightning Reveal: While DJ is making sandwiches, Chef's standing behind him in the dark. Lightning strikes and reveals his position, whereupon he yells out to DJ to defend himself as a test of Chef's lessons to him. DJ passes by throwing a spoon in Chef's face.
- Loved by All: NOBODY is willing to let DJ eliminate himself, since he and his food are great.
- Make-Out Kids: Owen and Izzy.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Lindsay makes a grab at being more of a leader and less of a follower after some insults from Heather. She proves good at it, making level-headed decisions and calming her team when it's needed until DJ pulls off a trick she falls for too. Despite her resourcefulness, Lindsay is on the chopping block that night because her team got frightened that the kindhearted airhead put her foot down. She’s lucky that DJ quit at the last minute, otherwise she most likely would’ve been sent home.
- Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The title is a play on the film The Blair Witch Project.
- Scary Flashlight Face: Chris puts a flashlight under his face when he relays the horrifying history of the disappearance of Juanita Rentacop and the ghost sightings that have taken place since.
- Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: DJ foregoes his chance at the million when he breaks off and comes clean about his alliance with Chef, eliminating himself in the process.
- Shout-Out:
- The hockey mask worn by the killers is a reference to Jason Voorhees' hockey mask.
- Some of the Halloween (1978) theme plays towards the end of the first challenge, when DJ is about to scare Harold. Also, Beth's point of view through the eyes of the mask is similar to when a young Michael's point of view was shown in the beginning of the film before and after he committed his first murder and the couch scene where Michael attacks Laurie was re-enacted as part of the challenge.
- Chef uses a chainsaw to scare Heather, Duncan, and DJ.
- The name of the rent-a-cop is "Ronnita", based on Ron the Rent-a-Cop from 6teen.
- The ghost-reading devices that Chris gave the Grips are similar to the P.K.E. Meters used in Ghostbusters.
- Duncan calls Harold "Harry Houd-weenie".
- Duncan makes the walls look like they were oozing blood like in The Amityville Horror (1979).
- Thing-O-Meter: Chris has a Scream-o-meter in order to measure how loud one of the contestant's from each team screams in the first part of the challenge.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: While Lindsay makes a good leader, she also loses most of her support due to acting far more unreasonable to her teammates.
- Vomit Discretion Shot: Owen vomits on Chris' shoes off-screen at the end of the episode.
- Wham Episode: DJ eliminating himself means that the food would go back to tasting terrible, because Chef would reprise his cooking duties.
