Ep 1. The Juicy Pineapples vs. the Cavities

Double Dare (2018) is a reboot of the classic Nickelodeon game show that originally aired from 1986 to 1993. Hosted by Liza Koshy, the show features two teams competing in various physical and mental challenges, all while getting covered in various substances such as slime and whipped cream. Season 1 episode 1, titled "The Juicy Pineapples vs. the Cavities," kicks off the series with a bang.

The episode begins with the introduction of the two teams: the Juicy Pineapples and the Cavities. The Juicy Pineapples consist of two friends, Jaxon and Jackson, and two sisters, Sianni and Sirena. The Cavities are made up of two brothers, Riley and Ryan, and two sisters, Paige and Payton. Each team is introduced with a short video montage, highlighting their interests and personal quirks.

The first challenge is called "Pie in the Pants." One member from each team puts on a pair of oversized pants, while their teammates try to throw pies at them. The goal is to catch as many pies in the pants as possible within 60 seconds. After a messy and hilarious round, the Cavities come out on top, winning 50 points.

Next up is "Tilt-a-Hurl." One member from each team sits in a spinning chair while their teammate tries to toss balls into a cup attached to the chair. The twist is that the chair is also spinning, making it difficult to aim. This challenge is worth 100 points, and after a close round, the Juicy Pineapples win.

The third challenge is called "Hammer Time." One member from each team must use a giant foam hammer to smash watermelons. Hidden inside the watermelons are small plastic fish, and the goal is to find as many fish as possible within 60 seconds. The team with the most fish at the end of the round wins 150 points. The Juicy Pineapples take the lead in this challenge, finding six fish compared to the Cavities' three.

After a quick break, it's time for the "Obstacle Course." This is the main event of the show, worth 300 points. The course consists of several physical challenges, such as a giant slide, a ball pit, and a maze. Each team must complete the course as quickly as possible, with the team with the fastest time winning the 300 points. The stakes are high, as the winning team will move on to the next round of the competition.

The Juicy Pineapples go first, and they have a strong start, completing the first few challenges quickly. However, they run into some trouble in the ball pit, where they struggle to find a hidden flag. This gives the Cavities a chance to catch up, and it becomes a nail-biting finish as both teams race to the finish line. In the end, the Juicy Pineapples come out on top, with a time of 1:09, compared to the Cavities' 1:12.

The episode ends with the Juicy Pineapples celebrating their victory, while the Cavities take their loss in stride. Both teams show good sportsmanship and positivity throughout the episode, making it clear that Double Dare is a show that emphasizes fun and teamwork above all else.

Overall, the first episode of Double Dare (2018) is a fun and exciting showcase of the show's signature challenges and wacky humor. With engaging hosts and enthusiastic contestants, it's a great introduction to the new generation of this classic game show.
