*Camera Pans In To Show JD Roth Walking Across A Beach In Miami Flordia*
JD: 16 strangers are on their way right her, to Miami Flordia for an adventure like no other. These teenagers will be put into teams of 2 and will be forced to work together if they want any chance of surviving this game! It's a journey that over 100 teenagers have made in the past, and now we are about to add 16 more to the list! In the end, only one girl and one guy will be able to call themselves Endurance Champions and take home the grand prize... $200,000! This is Endurance: Miami!
*Camera Shows A Large Boat Coming Through The Water With 16 Teenagers On It. Camera Pans Into Some Of Their Faces*

Elsie: My name is Elsie and I am 13.
Trevor: Hi, I'm Trevor and I'm 14!
Abby: Hey hey! My name's Abby and I am 15 years old. People look at me and they immedaitely think "Oh, she's just an old fashioned country girl" but let me tell you... this country girl has a lot to prove and she's going to surprise everyone... Just trust me, I'm here to win!
*Camera Shows Them Arriving At The Beach*
Abby: Oh my god! Is that really where we are staying?
Oliver: This is way to nice for me!
*Camera Pans Into Oliver's Face and Shows Others Also*
Oliver: I'm Oliver and I am 14 years of age.
Khristelle: My name is Khristelle and I am 14 years old!
Drew: I am Drew and I'm 12 years old. People judge me by my age, and I will warn all of these people not to. I may be young, but I have a big old bark and I will use it if I have to! Haha!
Jenny: Hey, my name is Jenny and I am 14 years old.
*Camera Pans To The Back Of The Boat Where People Are Looking Off The Side To See The Beach. Camera Pans Into Different Faces*
Logan: Yo! The name's Logan and I'm 15!
Calley: Hey y'all! I'm Calley and I am 12 years old. I grew up on a farm in South Carolina, and I haven't done much camping at all. I'm sure this is going to be one heck of an experience and let me tell you, I am stoked!
Boston: My name's Boston and I am 15 and ready to win!
Madison: Hey there, I'm Madison and I am 14 years old!
*Camera Pans To The Right Back Of The Boat Where The Last 4 Contestants Are Looking Amazed At The Beach*
Chase: Hi, I'm Chase and I am 15 years old. I may not be the strongest, or the smartest out here but I have a lot of heart and I think in the end that's what's going to seperate me from the rest of these people... I'm definitely here to prove that good guys can come out on top.
Holly: I'm Holly and I am 13!
Lucas: My name is Lucas and I am 12 years old.
Kimberly: Hey, I'm Kimberly and I am 14 years of age. I'm not your typical blonde bimbo girl... but I'll let these people sterotype me all they want. I want these people to underestimate me and then when I show them I'm actually a strategic player they'll all be like "Woa! I didn't know she had that in her!" *laughs* This is going to be great!
*Shows The Boat Reaching The Beach As The Contestants Start Getting Off*
Calley: Oh my god, this is so amazing!
Calley *Confessional*: We walk off the boat and the immediate feeling is "Oh my goodness... This is paradaise!" I mean, there are palm trees all around... I am in heaven!
Drew *Confessional*: The beach is pretty cool alright! The only thing I'm worried about are our huts... Seasons past have proved that the location can be decieving, but the huts end up being a let down...
Madison *Confessional*: This beach? Yeah, it's okay I guess. I pretty much live this sort of life at home already so it's not like "WOW!" like everyone is saying it is...
Holly: This is crazy cool!
Damian: No mater what happens in this game now, this location has made it all worth while!
Kimberly: I couldn't agree more!
*Camera Shows JD Roth Walking Down The Beach And The Contestants Cheering*
JD: Hey everyone! I'm JD Roth and as you know I'm your host for the game! So, everyone enjoying yourselves so far?
Everyone: Yeah!
JD: It's my pleasure to welcome you to Miami! But most important of all... Welcome to Endurance Season 9!
*Everyone Claps And Looks Around Excitedly*
Boston *Confessional*: The party is over before it began... It's time to get the game on! I'm pumped! Mad dog Boston is going to smoke this show!
JD: Before we start this game off, I want you all to take a good look around you... Look closely.
*Everyone Looks Around Confused*
JD: If you have noticed, this season there are only 16 of you!
Jenny *Confessional*: So there are 16 of us in the game this year... It's normally 20 so I'm sure something is up!
JD: I'm sure you'll all be happy to know that all 16 of you will be staying the night!
*Everyone Claps And Cheers*
JD: AND, all 16 of your are guranteed to land yourself a place on one of the eight teams of Endurance Miami!
*Everyone Cheers Louder and High Fives Are Thrown Around*
Khristelle *Confessional*: JD breaks the best news of all to us... There is no Right to Stay! This is amazing news!
Elsie *Confessional*: This is so amazing! I'm an official Endurnace player! Looking at all these guys, I really have no idea who I want as a partner... They all seem like they'd make amazing partners.
JD: I'm glad to see you're all excited for this! Now I'm sure you all want to check out your huts, and I guess I'm in the mood to let you do that... So if you go behind those palm trees over there you'll find your huts! Enjoy them while you can, because only 4 of you will be staying their throughout the whole season!
*Everyone Looks Excited As They Start Running Towards The Palm Trees*
JD: Oh yeah, and one more thing! If I were you guys, I'd start talking with other people and tell them who you want as a partner, because as you know in this game, having the right partner can make all the difference of becoming the Endurance Champions, and heading home first. I'll leave you all with that to think about. Go ahead and check out the huts!
*Everyone Runs Behind The Palm Trees and Screams Are Heard. Camera Shows The Huts Which Are Beautiful From The Outside*
Holly *Confessional*: The huts are amazing! As if I haven't said the word amazing enough since I got to Miami... But seriously, the huts... AMAZING!
*Shows The Guys and Girls Seperating As They Check Out Their Huts. Camera Pans Inside The Girls Hut*
Abby: Okay, I call think top bunk over here!
Abby *Confessional*: I'm not used to being away from home without my friends and family around. These people ARE my friends and family for the next few weeks, so I definitely just need to stay away from drama as much as I can.
Jenny *Confessional*: I've never shared a room with 7 other girls before, so this is just a whole new experience for me! If these girls are nice to me then we'll get along great, but I just can't fit in with personalities that clash with mine.
*Camera Pans To All The Girls Settled Down And Talking*
Madison: Who do you girls have an eye on for partners so far?
Kimberly: Honestly I was thinking of either Chase or Boston.
Abby: Boston does seem to be a real good athlete. I was sort of thinking him also!
Calley: My first thoughts were that I wanted either Drew or Lucas because I think it would be cool to have 2 younger players on the same team... But to be honest I'd be fine with any of these guys. Maybe Logan?
Khristelle *Confessional*: Us girls are getting along great! We just all sat down in a circle and started discussing who we all want as partners. I'm just wondering if this peace between us all is going to last long.
*Camera Pans To The Guys Hut Where They Are All Talking About Partners*
Boston: How hot is Madison?
Damian: Madison? It's all about Holly here man!
Boston: You can have Holly all you want dude... Madison is like my queen!
Boston *Confessional*: I'm going to make it very clear to all these guys that I want Madison, that way if they try to mess up the list or anything I can call them out on it and say that everyone knew I wanted Madison.
Chase: In my opinion both of them are nice... I would say I'd like either of them.
Boston: Dude come on... I said I want Madison already so let's not all start saying you want her to. It should be a first come first serve thing so it's fair.
Chase *Confessional*: Boston is making Madison seem like an oil change with the whole "First come First Serve" thing. I mean, show some respect. She's a person, not some sort of item.
Boston: All I'm saying is that if you were to say you wanted Madison before me then I would have laid off and decided someone else...
Chase: Dude, have you ever seen Endurance where people are just like "Oh you said you wanted her first so I'll let you have her"? No! This isn't how the game works and if you think it's going to turn out like that then I suggest you head home already.
Boston *Confessional*: Chase has a big mouth, and I gurantee that thing is going to get him in trouble in this game. No one is going to talk to Boston like that.
*Camera Shows The 16 Contestants Walking Down The Beach To Meet JD*
JD: Hey everyone! What do you think of the huts?
Calley: Those huts are absolutely amazing JD! It reminds me a little bit of home!
JD: Is that so?
Calley: You betcha!
JD: So I'm guessing you all love the fact that you have no hot showers, and no electricity?
*A Few People Laugh*
Logan: Let's face it JD... These huts suck. Sure, they look nice from the outside but the insides are a huge letdown.
JD: Good to see someone being honest here.
Calley: Hey I actually really do love them!
JD: Well then, I'm glad to hear it! Now, before you all left to checkout your huts I told you to make sure you talked about partners with everyone... We are going to see how that either helped you or maybe not so much in todays mission. The mission is very simple, and you can barely even call this a mission. This is not a test of Endurance, or any sort of strength that yo ucould have within. This mission will actually test how well you've made a first impression on the rest of the group. You will all be given a paper and pen and you will need to write down a name of someone who you want to have power. I wont reveal what that power is, but it will have a huge impact in the partner selection, so vote wisely. And no voting yourself! Go ahead, I'll give you all a few minutes.
*Shows The Contestants Scattering Around To Vote*
Abby *Confessional*: I am voting for Calley because she seems like one of the genuinely nice people in this game... Plus she never said she wanted Boston as a partner so I think she'd give me Boston if she had the choice.
Boston *Confessional*: I voted for Madison because I'm hoping she will come to her senses and realize that she wants me to be her partner.
Calley *Confessional*: I've decided to vote for Abby because she's been nothing but nice to me from the start. I feel as if I'm to give her power she'll do good with me.
Holly *Confessional*: I am voting for Abby because I think she has my best interest in mind and I really trust her.
Damian *Confessional*: I'm going to vote for Holly. I hope she wins this so she can choose whether she wants me or not. If she doesn't choose me then that's fine, because I wouldn't want to be with a partner who doesn't want me anyways.
*Camera Pans To JD Holding A Piece of Paper As The 16 Contestants Stand In Front Of Him*
JD: The votes have been tallied! In second place is Calley!
*Everyone Claps*
JD: And now in first place... Abby, come on up here!
*Everyone Claps For Abby and She Runs Up To JD*
JD: Well Abby! How does it feel to have the majority of the votes?
Abby: I'm honestly shocked! I never realized how much you all liked me! Thank you so much!
JD: Here's how it's going to work Abby... You now have full choice of your partner and what color you guys will be getting! So first, what color do you want.
Abby: Well, I think the partner I'm about to choose would want this color as well... We are going to go with Red!
JD: Okay Abby, you are on the red team! Now is the important decision... Who do you want to be your partner for the rest of this game?
Abby: This really isn't a difficult decision for me because I've had my eye on this person since we got here... I'm going to pick Boston!
*Boston Looks Surprised As He Walks Up And Hugs Abby*
Boston *Confessional*: My first choice was Madison to be my partner... But Abby seems like a tough and popular chick so I guess I'm fine with her!
JD: Okay Boston, you now have a choice to make. You can pick any person in that group over there. The person you pick will then pick their partner and color. Who do you want?
*Boston Talks To Abby*
JD: Already we have the first team decision in the game. Who's it going to be?
Abby: Go with Calley.
Boston: JD, I'm going to pick Calley!
Calley: Yay! Thank you!
*Calley Runs Up And Hugs Boston*
JD: Okay Calley, which team color do you want to take.
Calley: I think I am going to pick the Yellow team!
JD: Calley is now on the yellow team! Now most importantly, who are you picking to be my partner.
Calley: Honestly, any of these guys would be good... Hmm... I'm going to go with Logan!
*Logan Runs Up and hugs Calley*
JD: Logan and Calley... the yellow team! Logan, who are you going to let pick their team next?
Logan: I'm going to go with my man Damian!
*Damian Runs Up And Fist Pounds Logan*
JD: Damian! Which team color would you like to take for the rest of the game?
Damian: I think I want to go with Orange!
JD: Okay Damian, and who do you want to join you on Orange?
Damian: No doubt, I want Holly!
*Kimberly Looks Disappointed*
Kimberly: Ya, I wanted Damian to be my partner... He had other plans... I just have to deal with it I guess.
*Damian and Holly Hug*
JD: Damian and Holly are now the Orange Team! Holly, you now have to decide who will be choosing their own team!
Holly: I have to go with Khristelle!
Khristelle: Aww thank you!
*Khristelle Runs Up To JD*
JD: Okay Khristelle! What team color do you wish to take?
Khristelle: I think I want to go with the purple team!
JD: Okay, and who is going to be your partner on the purple team?
Khristelle: I'm going to go with Lucas!
Lucas: Yes!
*Lucas Walks Up And Hugs Khristelle*
JD: We now have The Purple Team, Lucas and Khristelle! Lucas, who are you picking to choose next?
Lucas: I'm going to say Drew!
*Drew Walks Up Next To JD*
JD: Drew, what color are you going to take?
Drew: I would like to take The Blue Team!
JD: And for your partner?
Drew: All you girls are hot, but I have to go with Madison!
Madison *Confessional*: When Drew gave his little "You are all hot" speech it made me sick... Here we have a 12 year old boy, trying to make a move on 14 and 15 year old girls... It's really kind of gross. And when he picked me for a partner? I almost puked...
*Madison Walks Up To Drew and Doesn't Hug Him*
Drew *Confessional*: When Madison walked up to me I sensed a bad vibe from her... It's almost like she didn't want to work with me or something... It kind of hurt my feelings to be honest.
JD: Madison, you now have to pick someone to choose next.
Madison: I will go with Elsie!
Elsie: Thank you!
*Elsie Walks Up To JD*
JD: Elsie, what color would you like to take? Green, Grey, or Brown?
Elsie: No doubt... Green!
JD: Okay, and who do you want to be your partner?
Elsie: I want Mr. Bushy Hair! CHASE!
*Chase Runs Up To Elsie And Hugs Her*
Chase: Don't you ever call me Mr. Bushy Hair again!
*They Both Laugh*
Madison *Confessional*: Oh my god! It was the most romantic moment ever! They shared a wonderful hug, and cracked jokes! *rolls eyes* Barf-a-rama!
JD: Chase, you have 4 people to choose from. Who are you going to let choose their partner next?
Chase: On behalf of Elsie and I we are going with Oliver!
Oliver: Thanks dude!
JD: Oliver, are you going to take Brown or Grey?
Oliver: I think I am going to go with Grey!
JD: Okay! That means Trevor is on The Brown Team! Oliver, do you want Kimberly or Jenny to join you on Grey?
Oliver: You are both nice ladies and I don't want to hurt either of your feelings... But I have to go with Kimberly!
Jenny: It's fine!
*Kimberly Runs Up And Jumps On Oliver*
JD: Oliver and Kimberly will head to Grey, and Trevor and Jenny will head to Brown! We now have the 8 teams of Endurance!
The Red Team: Boston & Abby

*Camera Shows The 8 Team Walking Down A Path To Meet JD At The Ridge*
JD: Welcome everyone to the ridge! I just have to say, it's good to see you all in your team colors, wearing them loud and proud!
*The Contestants Laugh*
JD: In front of me are the 14 pieces of Endurance. In order to win the game you need to collect all 14 of these! The first team that gets all 14 wins the game and becomes Endurance Champions! Now, as a little gift, I'm going to allowed each of you to choose one team to start off with. Red Team, since you were the first team formed I'll let you pick first!
*Boston and Abby Walk Up To The Pieces and Take The Heart Piece*
JD: Heart, good choice! You will definitely need to show a lot of heart to win this game! Yellow team, you're up!
*Logan and Calley Pick The Leadership Piece*
JD: Another good choice! You definitely showed a lot of Leadership in todays selection! I'm sure this piece will suit you both. Orange team!
*Damian and Holly Walk Up, Take The Strength Piece, and They Both Flex Their Muscles*
JD: That piece speaks for itself, and you both definitely do have strength! Purple Team!
*Lucas and Khristelle Pick The Courage Piece*
Khristelle: Hey, I like the lion okay?
JD: I didn't say anything! Courage is definitely going to work in favour of both of you! Nice choice! Blue, you're up!
*Drew and Madison Walk Up*
Madision: We need the commitment piece...
Drew *Confessional*: Yup it's official... Madison doesn't like me!
JD: You guys have chosen commitment and I think it's a very fitting piece! I sense some not so great vibes on you team, but with a little commitment those vibes will disappear! Green team!
*Chase and Elsie Walk Up And Take The Trust Piece*
JD: You will most definitely need to trust your partner in order to make it far! Good choice! Grey Team!
*Oliver and Kimberly Walk Up And Take The Perseverance Piece*
JD: You will definitely need to persevere in order to make it past the first round! Persevere through the curse that surrounds The Grey Team. I believe in you both! Brown team, you're last up!
