Plot

Due to Wawanakwa getting destroyed in the previous film, there's a new island called Pahkitew Island but there are no cabins, no mess hall, and no spa hotel. Only the confessional has been brought. Also, there are new contestants.

On a plane, the new contestants are: Shawn (Daniel Radcliffe), Jasmine (Elizabeth Olsen), Dave (Nathan Kress), Sky (Victoria Justice), Ella (Miranda Cosgrove), Topher (James Franco), Sammy (Emma Watson), Amy (Emma Roberts), Sugar (Jillian Bell), Leonard (Kevin Hart), Beardo (Anthony Anderson), Rodney (Danny McBride), Scarlett (Alison Pil), and Max (Reed Alexander). They get on the island and the teams are formed. Shawn, Dave, Sky, Ella, Sugar, Leonard, and Beardo are the Confused Bears while Jasmine, Topher, Sammy, Amy, Rodney, Scarlett, and Max are the Floating Salmon.

The first challenge is to build a shelter. In the end, the Floating Salmon won but the Confused Bears lost due to Leonard suggesting a wizard castle.

At the elimination ceremony, Leonard is voted off and has to take the Cannon of Shame. Sugar is devastated by this and vows revenge.

Quotes

(while Sugar is making Scuba bear spit out stuff, they see Cody's shoe)

• Dawn: (confused) "Hey, is that Cody's shoe?"

(then an angry Cody comes over and picks up his shoe before glaring at Chris)

• Cody: (angry) "You brought me here for demonstration but decided to make me get attacked just for laughs?"
• Chris: (laughing) "Oh yeah, that was funny."

(then Cody sighs)

• Cody: (annoyed) "It's official. My life is nothing but pain."

(at a prison, Duncan is watching this and agrees with Cody)

• Duncan: (agreeing) "I hear ya twerp, I hear ya."

(then back to the show, Cody sees Dave)

• Cody: (confused) "David?"
• Dave: (also confused) "Big bro?"

(this the others interested, even Chris)

• Chris: (wondering) "You two related?"
• Cody: (explaining) "Yeah, he's my younger brother. (this makes Shawn, Sky, Sugar, and Ella go eye-wide in surprise) He's the one who made a cameo in World Tour and I hope he wins."
• Dave: (smiles) "Aw, come here big bro."

(they share a family hug, making Shawn, Sky, Ella, and Dawn smile at the family reunion. Later after Sky rejects Dave, she receives a glare from Shawn)

• Sky: (confused) "What?"
• Shawn: (angry) "Oh you're a real piece of work aren't you? That was really low, even for you."
• Sky: "Hey, it's not my fault that I don't like him back."

(after hearing that, Dave runs away)

• Shawn: (enraged) "WHAT THE H**L IS YOUR F**KING PROBLEM?! FIRST, YOUR A NICE GIRL HE LIKED BUT NOW YOU'RE A HEARTLESS B**CH WHO BREAKS HIS HEART IN PUBLIC AFTER TRYING TO IMPRESS YOU!"
• Sky: (shocked) "He what?"
• Shawn: "I told him that you wouldn't date him because you don't date quitters. He was upset that you on another team. Then he got even more upset that you betrayed him."
• Sky: (now upset) "I yelled at him because he was taking it too far. And I betrayed him because Jasmine told me to."
• Shawn: (annoyed) "JASMINE!"
• Jasmine: (defensive) "Hey, I was mad at you, remember?"

(Shawn and Sky still glare at a nervous Jasmine but Shawn still glares at Sky)

• Shawn: (angry) "You're the most selfish and greedy person I've ever met. I thought you were our friend and ally but you're just a traitor for not taking too much responsibility for your actions. If winning is important to you, then how about focus on other stuff besides that. You should've thought of that, you Heather wannabe b***h."

T.V. Tropes

• Adaptational Heroism: Dave is a lot more nicer and very sympathetic. Instead of being sarcastic and not cheerful, he is actually nice to his team. True, they still annoy him but he doesn't show it to them and is being nice about asking them to stop. In the finale, he actually wants his best friend Shawn to win.
• Adaptational Villainy: While the original Sky a little bit cared about Dave and felt bad for her actions, she doesn't apologize for them and even when she finds out Dave is trying to impress her, she still disrespects him. Same can be said about Jasmine, who doesn't apologize for what she did to Dave and Sky but this ends when Jasmine heard about what really happened and forgave the boys.
• Bittersweet Ending: Shawn won and is sharing the money with Dave but their relationships with the girls is now bitter. However, Jasmine redeems herself and is back together with Shawn but Dave and Sky are on bad terms.
• Complete Monster: Scarlett is a sociopathic evil mastermind who hides behind the facade of a young scientist but later turns out to be pure evil and was just using the contestants to help her win. She resorts to death threats and attempted murder just to get her way. Amy isn't any better either with how she treats her younger sister and not afraid to let her die.
• Moral Event Horizon: Scarlett crosses this by threatening the contestants, attempting to murder the finalists, betraying Max, and once mentioning that she traumatized her own brother by making his toys attack him to the point that he's now in therapy.
