1-1 A Very 'Short Trip' (Originally aired July 6, 2008)
The 17 contestants arrive at a beach where they must jump into the choppy water to get to shore. Right away, Midget Mac is targeted for being unable to get off the boat easily. The contestants then walk up a beach where they find host Craig Jackson. They are told to run into the mansion and make themselves comfortable. Upon entering the mansion, alliances are start to form. Destiney, Heather, Heat and 12 Pack form an alliance as well as Whiteboy, Chance, and Real. Mr. Boston and Midget Mac find themselves without a bed, but later Mr. Boston finds a bed that Megan and Brandi C hid from him. Jackson then tells the contestants that they must dress in a bikini for their challenge. Once outside, the challenge is revealed that contestants must get the most amount of money from a money machine. Megan and Brandi C are disqualified and Midget Mac and Chance choose not to participate. The top 3 are revealed as Hoopz, Destiney, and Whiteboy. The top 2 are Hoopz and White Boy, making them team captains. Once back inside the house Rodeo attempts to convince Midget Mac to apologize to Hoopz for his degrading remarks about women earlier, but to no avail. Meanwhile, contestants attempt to make deals to remain in the competition. Mr. Boston approaches Whiteboy and says that they must remain allies because they are both Jewish. At the elimination ceremony Hoopz chooses Rodeo, 12 Pack, the Entertainer, Toasteee, Heather, and Pumpkin. Whiteboy chooses Real, Chance, Mr. Boston, Heat, Destiney, and Megan. Heat is unhappy to be on Whiteboy's team, as he wanted to be on the same team with 12 Pack. The bottom three were Brandi C, Midget Mac, and Nibblz. Nibblz and Brandi C. try to show off their strength by doing push-ups, where Brandi hurts her ankle. Hoopz then picks Nibblz leaving Whiteboy with the final decision of who to choose last. He ends up choosing Brandi. Midget Mac refuses to give a speech, and therefore is not chosen by Hoopz or Whiteboy, being the first eliminated.
