"After a day of sailing and a day of literally circling around, we're in Boston Harbor!" Ellie announces.

"This is where our first challenge is to take place, huh?" Matthew asks.

"Yup! In the historical city of Boston, Massachusetts, your challenges are naturally going to be based upon the important events in the American Revolution. The challenge is very simple: dodge snowballs as you race to the center of the city to get a crate of authentic British tea! Once you make get your tea, you will run back through the road and back to the ship. The team who gets all six of its crates on the boat first wins a trip to the luxury deck! Also, your second musical number must end before you can begin your challenge. Your musical number starts... now!"

Song: Rise to the Challenge

Team Amazon: We can't afford to lose; in this game, it's strength in numbers.

Cassie: Yeah-ah!

Team Victory (except Sofia): It's time to live up to our name! We'll win this challenge and take the gold!

Blanca: This show is an octadecagon, but not for long. Soon, someone's hexagon will become a pentagon, and the game a septadecagon!

Team Ellie: You guys are gonna have to settle for second or third, cuz we're gonna win this thing!

Harley: At least, we hope!

All (except for Sofia): You gotta rise to the challenge!

Guitar solo

Irina: Unless you actually wanna lose...

All: So let's get to it!

Song Ends.

Tony's Confessional

"I've liked Sofia for a long time now. I want to tell her how I feel, but I'm afraid of ruining our friendship..."

Confessional Ends

"On your mark, get set, go!" Ellie shouts.

"Oh yeah!" Sofia exclaims.

"Me too—" Karen slips on a sheet of ice. Matthew helps her up.

"Everything okay?"

"U-Uh... Yeah!" Karen replies, nervously.

"OH YEAH!" Obsidian exclaims, somehow already having gotten his tea.

"H-How did he—?! In any event, we need to get going. There's a million dollars at stake, after all!" Matthew says.

"Right!"

The two start running. Hal passes by them, already having his tea as well.

"Have you heard the good news about— OOF!" Erik says, just before being hit in he face by a snow ball. "I'm okay!" He exclaims.

A loud crash can be heard. Sofia is on the ground with her tea.

"Ugh... This episode is not ending here!" Ellie exclaims.

"Ouch..." Sofia groans.

"New challenge! Three-way snowball fight, ready? I don't care! Go! Best out of five!"

Erik and Sofia are both hit with snowballs while they're still down.

Toby packs some white snow into a ball, but is hit by Jared. "Sorry, dude. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do." Matthew and Blanca get Jolia and Tony down, leaving only three from Team Ellie left.

"Here we—"

Hal is stopped dead in his tracks as Keliah throws a snowball at him. "I-I'm really, really, really sorry, okay?"

"Agh!" Harley groans as a snowball hits him directly in the face.

"Oh crap!" Obsidian exclaims. He looks over to Irina, who's playing with her puppet. "Irina! You gotta—" Obsidian is hit. Irina looks to see what's going on, but is hit in the face. She gets back up, unphased.

"Round one is done! Amazon has one win, Victory none, Ellie none!"

The fallen contestants get up and get ready.

"Nebiros?" Irina asks, "What should I do to win?"

"Defeat them all? Okay. Easy enough."

"Creepy..." Just as Jolia makes that remark, she is hit hard enough to be knocked back by a snow ball.

"What if I insulted your damned sports or video games or whatever?! How would YOU feel?!" Irina asks, infuriated.

"This is gonna be fun," Ellie comments.

"Just for that..." Irina throws five more snowballs at Team Amazon, knocking them all out of the game.

"All just for insulting your creepy puppet? Get a life," Sofia remarks.

"And YOU have one, Ms. "I Need My Video Games"?!" Irina throws another snow ball at full force, taking Sofia out. "And while I'm at it," she remarks, "I'll take all of you out!"

The rest of Team Victory is pummeled by Irina's snowballs.

"Irina and Team Ellie win the first challenge, just because she took the entire opposition out in one fell swoop! Team Victory, you did not win any of your opposition, and failed at the first challenge. I'll see you all in the loser deck tonight for the first ceremony!"

"Team Victory," Ellie says, starting the ceremony, "You both of the challenges, all due to one person. Matthew, Karen, Hal, Blanca, you are all safe. Tristan, the person who voted for you doesn't like your hairstyle. Sofia, all you've done so far is complain, sing horribly, and cost your team challenges. Tristan, you are safe. Sofia, you are the first person to be eliminated this season. I'd say sorry, but frankly, I'm very content with seeing you in despair."

"What?! Why?!" Sofia asks, "Ugh... At least I'll have my video games..."

Chef pushes Sofia into the Lifeboat of Shame. "You'll regret eliminating Sofia Potter!" Sofia shouts as she floats away into the distance.
