“The Crazy Family Edition”
[10:00 AM — Paradise Cove Challenge Arena]
The four couples sit beside each other on separate platforms. Darius and Maya stand in front of a giant screen.
Behind them is a wall covered with photos of each contestant’s family.
Darius: “Islanders, welcome to your FIRST official challenge!”
Everyone cheers.
Maya: “You think you know everything about your partner?”
Jayla: “I absolutely do.”
Amara: “We’ll see about that.”
Maya: “Because today, we’re not asking YOU questions about your partner…”
She points toward the giant screen.
Maya: “We’re asking questions written by their families.”
Everyone’s eyes widen.
Trey: “Oh no.”
Zara: “Why did you say that like you’re scared?”
Trey: “Because my family knows too much.”
Kiki: “This is about to be messy.”

Darius holds up two paddles.
Darius: “Each couple gets two answer boards. We’ll ask a question about your partner. Write your answer without showing them.”

He smiles.
Darius: “Your family gets to explain exactly why you should’ve known better.”
Everyone screams.
