Girls v. Boys

The Games

Before the games began, individuals aged 16 to 18 were asked to audition. The show depicted the competitions and the conflicts between the two teams, both internally and externally. The games involved physical challenges and acts of sabotage, such as during baking contests. The goal of the competitions was to win a prize, which varied by season; in Puerto Rico, the winning team received $50,000 and each member got $1,000 worth of travel gear split among them. Each competition awarded the winners a set number of points, ranging from 100 to over 500 in the final event, and the team with the most points won.

The first game took place in Tampa, with three girls and three boys on opposing teams, staying at a summer camp. The second game was set in Hawaii, also with three girls and three boys on opposite teams; Lauren Collins and Jake Epstein appeared, and the teams stayed in vacation houses. The third game, spanning 11 episodes, was set in rural Montana and expanded to non-celebrity teams of four girls and four boys on opposite teams. Contestants were expected to constantly talk about winning by chanting "Fresh Money" with a specific accent. In episode 8, Colleen Kirk and Jose Gonzalez engaged in a verbal dispute with the rest of the episodes focusing on its consequences; this was scripted, and no contestants were disqualified. The fourth and final game, spanning 10 episodes, was set in Puerto Rico, where the format changed: there were four girls and four boys, but they were no longer opposite each other. Three girls and one boy competed against one girl and three boys during episodes 4, 5, and 6, after contestants voted one girl and one boy out. This was revealed as a gimmick when Paris Hoover and Ryder Darcy, who were "voted out," returned but switched teams.
