Ep 1. Wild in the Aisles

In season 1 episode 1 of Guy's Grocery Games titled "Wild in the Aisles," hosted by Guy Fieri, four contestants compete against each other in grocery store-themed cooking challenges for a chance to win $20,000. The first challenge is called "Flavortown Frenzy," where the contestants spin a wheel to determine which part of the store they must shop in and what dish they must make. The catch is that they can only use ingredients found in that section of the store. There are also additional twists such as having to switch carts with another contestant or having to use a certain color in their dish.

The second challenge is called "Budget Battle," where each contestant is given a fixed budget and must create a dish using ingredients that fit within that budget. The twist is that they must use a featured ingredient chosen by Guy.

The third and final challenge is called "Game Day Specials," where the contestants must create dishes inspired by tailgating and game day foods. They must use ingredients found in outdoor grilling and snack food sections of the store.

Throughout the challenges, Guy and the judges (Richard Blais, Troy Johnson, and Aarti Sequiera) provide commentary and feedback on the dishes. At the end of each challenge, one contestant is eliminated based on the judges' critiques.

The remaining contestants compete in the final round called "Shopping Spree," where they have two minutes to gather as many ingredients as possible within a set budget. They then have 30 minutes to create a dish using the ingredients they collected.

In the end, the judges choose a winner based on taste, creativity, and presentation. The winner takes home $20,000.

Overall, "Wild in the Aisles" sets the tone for the exciting and fast-paced competition that Guy's Grocery Games is known for, complete with unexpected challenges and twists that keep the contestants on their toes.
