Sploder Drama Island Episode 1: A Sinking Start

Introduction​​
At the very beginning the host introduces himself and the twenty-two contestants that would participate on a show so they could win $100,000. They were then introduced to Chef in the mess hall, knowing the sloppy food he serves 3 times a day. Afterward, being shown the elimination area, the host divided them into two teams: the Tan Tyrants, and the Red Rhinos. After the night was over, they were ready for their first challenge.

Challenge
The first challenge was for each team to build a boat, get in it, and row it across a pirahna-infested lake. The first team to have all 11 members cross the finish line on the other side of the lake wins, and the losers would be sent to elimination. At the Tan Tyrants, Nicki automatically declared herself "captain" of this challenge, and bossing everyone around. She got really ticked when she noticed Minnie not doing anything, and they got into an argument. Over on the Red Rhinos, Jack, the brains of the group, took the leadership role and everything worked out smoothly, building a bigger boat than the Tyrants. When both teams put their boat on the water, the Tyrants' boat floated but the Rhino's boat sunk, giving the Tyrants a huge lead. However, they were attacked by giant pirahnas, and destroyed their entire ship. Even though it was close, the Red Rhinos were the winners of the challenge. The Tyrants had then had to vote someone on their team off that night at the elimination ceremony.

Before Elimination
Nicki and Minnie argued in the cabin about their uselessness in the game. The rest of the girls broke up the fight and the elimination started afterwards.

Elimination
How the elimination worked was that the host would give out crystals to the safe contestant, and the one contestant with th most votes won't get a crystal and will be out of the game, never to return to the game (I'm serious!) At elimination, everyone got a crystal except for Nicki and Minnie, because of bossiness and uselessness respesctively. In the end, Nicki was safe, and Minnie became the first person voted off the island.
