Episodes
Elsewhere On Earth
While the first season is underway, the Announcer secretly starts a personal season in another area with David and eleven new contestants: Beach Ball, Fern, Hot Dog, Jammy, Money, Needy, Rose, Ruler, Sidewalky, Sticker and Toothpaste. The season's prize is Nightmare Island, a polar opposite version of Dream Island, and the winner gets to decide who will be trapped on the island. No teams are formed, meaning that contestants must compete individually. The first challenge is for each contestant to get to the top of their designated pole. The contestants use various techniques such as changing poles and using trampolines, and due to deciding to stick with his pole despite there being deadly spikes and saws on it, Hot Dog loses and is promptly eliminated. The viewers are then asked to vote for their favorite contestant in the game, which is said to be important later as the season continues. This request appears in subsequent episodes.
The Bare Minimum
The second challenge is to collect as many balls as possible within 10 minutes and put it in each contestant's assorted container. Sticker and Rose get away with cheating by painting the balls they collect gold (which are worth 98 points each as opposed to one), bringing both of their scores into the thousands. Money and Needy decide to only do the bare minimum to make sure they both stay in the game, which backfires when they have no balls left towards the end of the challenge. One last chance to earn a single ball is given when Jammy bursts after having Ruler stuff numerous balls inside of her. Just as the ball is guaranteed to land in Money's container, Needy decides to move her container over so the ball lands in it, eliminating Money.
Everyone's Enemies
The third challenge is divided into two parts; the first part is to jump off a cliff to retrieve a necklace. Nobody receives it; Needy finds another necklace and Sidewalky threatens the Announcer, giving the two immunity and temporary involvement in the second part. The next part is a tournament similar to that of "Reveal Novum", in which contestants randomly picked by the wheel must fight each other, with the winner receiving immunity. Needy and Sidewalky are allowed to help/hurt any of the contestants in the tournament, until Announcer changes the rules due to Jammy's criticism of Sidewalky's interference. Many rivalries are formed throughout the challenge, such as; Rose and Beach Ball, Toothpaste and Sticker, and Jammy and Ruler. Beach Ball is eliminated, losing to Sticker because of a broken Yellow Face product.
Insectophobe's Nightmare 0
The fourth challenge is a snowball fight, with whoever getting hit first being eliminated. Rose is rejected from her alliance with Sticker, and opts to use a flamethrower to melt snowballs and defend herself. Jammy and Fern team up for the challenge to take her down. The two are chased into a cave, and encounter ice bugs that kill Fern. The bugs follow Rose and Jammy out of the cave, then turn into ice cubes upon touching frozen water. Afterward, Rose goes back to chasing Jammy. Just as she is about to eliminate Jammy, Sidewalky and Ruler stop her and use a newly thawed bug to freeze her solid. Fern, having just been recovered, finishes off Rose and eliminates her with a snowball.
The Three Leg Three-Legged Race
The fifth challenge is a "three-leg three-legged" race. The contestants are split into four pairs: Team Dandelion (Jammy and Sticker), Team Vermillion (Ruler and Toothpaste), Team Azure (David and Fern) and Team Death (Needy and Sidewalky). Each team has to have both of their members get to the finish while doing three challenges, all while being tied together. The first challenge is to climb 500 steps, the second is to collect a gem of a contestant's team's color in a cave, and the third is to cross lava on platforms. At the last moment, Sticker, who is with Jammy in last place, secretly switches with David, resulting in David and Jammy's eliminations.
The Exploding Loser Chamber
The elimination area, the Tinier Loser Chamber, breaks apart after becoming too overloaded with the eliminated contestants. The Announcer sees this as an opportunity to do a rejoin challenge. All 12 contestants are split into six pairs, each with one eliminated contestant and one that is still in the running. The challenge is a game of hot potato with a chest, and whichever team has the chest after ten minutes will have its members switch their status in the competition. During the challenge, Needy has an outburst which makes her decide to stop being apathetic. Money rejoins and Ruler is eliminated. The Tinier Loser Chamber is then replaced with the much larger Titanic Loser Chamber.
One Hundred Shells, No More, No Less
The remaining contestants are awarded with a yacht trip for getting to the halfway point, but the yacht disappears due to "budget cuts". The Announcer promises to bring the yacht back once they do the next challenge, which is to retrieve a designated item from the lake and bring it to the Announcer. Toothpaste in particular is tasked with collecting exactly 100 shells, which automatically return to the lake should she have the wrong amount. When the last spot for immunity comes down between Fern and Toothpaste, the former secretly sabotages the latter (reducing the shell count to 99), resulting in Toothpaste's elimination. Contrary to his promise, the Announcer gets a hot air balloon, which disappears for the same reason as the yacht.
Some Assembly Required
The Announcer gives the remaining contestants their own speaker boxes, only to immediately destroy them, and declares that the challenge is for each contestant to repair their speaker box, with the last one to do so getting eliminated. Sticker disguises Fern's speaker box as their own and becomes safe, but upon seeing that Fern had seen through the deception and is awaiting his fate, a regretful Sticker makes it up to him by substituting Needy's speaker box for Fern's, rendering him safe as well. The other contestants fight over which speaker box should be fixed next, though ultimately, Needy loses and is eliminated. It is then revealed that the other eliminated contestants also have speaker boxes of their own.
The Root Of All Evil
The challenge is a combination of all eight challenges prior. Contestants are given points based on their performance, with the lowest-scoring contestant getting eliminated. Fern calls out the Announcer for never taking action against Sticker's cheating, and the Announcer promises to keep an eye on Sticker, to the latter's chagrin. As the challenge progresses, Money's increasing hostility leads to the other contestants—including Sidewalky—to gang up on her. When the challenge ends in a tie between Sidewalky and Money in the bottom two, the former wins in a literal tiebreaker, and the latter is eliminated.
Escape Nightmare Island!
The final three contestants are forced onto Nightmare Island, where their final challenge is to navigate the island's hotel and then jump across a cliff. The eliminated contestants get to vote on who gets an advantage, with Fern receiving the majority. Fern's advantage is to skip the penultimate leg of the challenge. Sticker and Fern begin to argue when they reach the cliff, until Sidewalky pushes them off and takes the leap. Just as Sidewalky is about to make it to the other side of the cliff, a burst water pipe propels Fern ahead of him, making Fern the season's winner. Although he intended to not let anyone remain on the island, Toothpaste intervenes and shuts the gates on Money, trapping her. The Announcer reveals that the votes determined the season's winner, before returning to the first season's contest grounds, with David in pursuit.
