Twenty kids from all across the country arrived on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean and meet J.D. Roth, who explains the game, filled with physical and mental challenges. The two contestants that have the most endurance will make it to the end and get the trip of a lifetime. Afterwards, J.D. drops a twist: the cabins only had enough room for seven guys and seven girls, so six of them will leave that very same day. The episode ends with the surviving 14 contestants celebrating being able to make it through the first day, but J.D. warns them that they have to choose partners the next day.
