The Games
At first, anyone between the ages of 16 and 18 are asked to audition. The second season on, Dancing Toad usually received/s tens of thousands of auditions. They manage to break it down to 3 boys and 3 girls (four boys and four girls in Puerto Rico and Montana. In Hawaii, Degrassi cast members Lauren Collins and Jake Epstein join the teams) and send them to a house (campsite in the first season), usually with some ocean clearing.
The show then shows the competitions as well as the debacles between the two teams, both internally and externally. The purpose of the competitions is to attain a prize (it has varied from season to season, but in Puerto Rico it was $50,000 for the winning team and $1,000 worth of travel gear split between the winning team members). Each competition earns the winners of the competition a set amount of points (ranging from 100 to over 500 in the final event) and the team that earns the most points wins.
