Episode 1:
Part 1: The First Challenge
"Hello everybody. I'm Mr. Tipton, your host of 'The Tipton Mole'. We have ten contestants here the season trying to one $500,000." Mr. Tipton said. "But one of them can't win. One of them is The Tipton Mole, who will try to sabotage the challenges and cause "The Tipton Pot" which contains all won money to lose money!" He paused. "Now remember at the end of every episode all the contestants are given a test, the person with the lowest score will be asked to leave. Now let's meet our contestants."
"Our first contestant is Barbara Brownstein, a young 17 year old girl who has just graduated from high school and plans on going to Harvard." Barbara waved towards the camera.
"Our second contestant is Maddie Fitzpatrick, a girl of 20 year, who is currently the assistant manager of the Boston Tipton."
"Our third contestant is Arwin Hochhouser, who has worked as the Boston TIpton's engineer for 15 years."
"Our next contestant is Cody Martin, a young 17 year old man who loves to read, study, and sucks at sports. He has also loved at a Tipton since he was 12 years old."
"Our fifth contestant is Zack Martin, is Cody's twin who recently graduated from the SS Tipton with his brother.
"Our Sixth Contestant is Marcus Little, a young singing sensation formerly known as Lil' Little."
"Our Seventh Contestant is Mary - Anne Moseby, who has worked at the Boston Tipton for 25 years before working on the SS TIpton for 2 years."
"Actually Mr. Tipton it's Marion-"
"Our Eighth Contestant is a young Bailey Pickett who comes from KettleCorn, a small town in Kansas near Kettlepot."
"Our Ninth Contestant is Estaban, a former Tipton Bellboy who became rich.
"And our Final Contestant is the Heiress to the Tipton name, London Tipton!"
"And these are our contestants. They will now begin the first challenge, the letter delivery." Mr. Tipton reached down and picked up a box. "In this box are 11 letters. Each contestant must randomly pick a letter, they must deliver all the letters and be back here in thirty minutes. Each letter delivered is worth $2500. If all ten contestants deliver a letter successfully the pot will contain $25,000. However, if you open your letter, $5000 will be subtracted from the pot. However there is a catch. One of the letters does not have a name. If you open this letter $15,000 will be subtracted from the pot, but you will be granted a Special Exemption that you can use in any round to save yourself from being eliminated. However if you deliver it, it must be delivered to your own room."
Mr. Tipton turned to the contestants "Did you all understand that?" he asked.
One by one the contestants nodded.
"London come over here and pick a letter."
London skipped over. "Zach Martin." she picked up a map and skipped away.
"Time starts now." The nine other contestants shoved each other and grabbed letters to deliver.
Barbara looked down at her letter. "London Tipton." Barbara looked at the map and continued jogging over to the heiress's cabin.
Maddie was walking quickly to her own cabin. She had drawn her own name by chance.
Arwin stood in the elevator waiting for it take him down to the floor where Marcus's room was.
Zach was in trouble, he remembered grabbing a map, but now he didn't know where it was. He must have lost it, and now he was lost. Despite having lived on the boat for two years he didn't know where anything was. The ship had been totally renovated and plus he didn't know where Moseby's cabin was.
Marcus looked down at his watch 20 minutes left. He entered Arwin's cabin and put the letter on the bed. He looked back at his map and ran out of the room.
Moseby probably had the easiest time out of everyone. Barbara's cabin was right where his used to be, and Moseby whistled as he opened the door to the cabin.
Bailey couldn't help but wonder what was in the letters, as she entered her boyfriend's cabin. She put down the letter and checked her watch seventeen minutes left.
Esteban exited Bailey's cabin and started heading back.
"Stupid Map." Yelled London. "How does this work.
Cody hadn't moved since he'd picked up his letter, which didn't have a name on it. He looked down at his watch. Ten minutes remaining, he wouldn't have time to find his cabin and get back, which would result in a loss of $2500 or he could open the letter, get an exemption, and lose $15,000. Cody looked down at the envelope and had made his decision.
Moseby was the first back, followed by Marcus, then Barbara, then Esteban, then Bailey, then Arwin, then Maddie. There was 30 seconds left and no sign of Cody, Zack, or London.
"10 seconds left," said Mr. Tipton, "9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1." Then the foghorn blew, signalling the end of the challenge.
15 minutes later Zack, London, and Cody walked into the room.
"Now our total," said Mr. Tipton, "7 letters were delivered. 7 times 2500 is 17,500." The contestants cheered. "However," continued Mr. Tipton, "Cody opened his letter." The other 9 contestants glared at Cody, who squirmed. "Cody opened the blank letter to get the Special Exemption. 17,500 minus 15,000 is 2500. It seems that this was a bad day for the contestants, only one tenth of the possible rewards was won."
"Did Cody purposefully sabotage under the false pretenses of wanting an exemption, or was it Zach or London, who decided to just do a small sabotage, or did the Tipton Mole play it safe for this challenge, knowing that some wouldn't make it through successfully? We'll be back after the break.
