I have divided all of you into two teams of seven: The Krabby Patties and The Jellyfish. Every week a contest will be held between the two teams. The losing team must eliminate one participant, but you don't decide who that contestant is, the viewers at home do. The final participant left will win a grand prize of... one million dollars!

<p style="line-height: 15.75pt">Larry the Lobster: Imagine what you could buy with that kind of money! I'm in!

<p style="line-height: 15.75pt">SpongeBob: And my test dummy, Fred.

<p style="line-height: 15.75pt">Fred: May I ask you a question?

<p style="line-height: 15.75pt">SpongeBob: No, we will not be paying for your medical bills.

<p style="line-height: 15.75pt">Fred: Tartar sauce!

<p style="line-height: 15.75pt">Scooter: What about me? I'd be a great test dummy! I died like seven seasons ago, and I'm in perfect condition!

<p style="line-height: 15.75pt">Scooter: Scooter.

Squidward: What!? Why am I on the same team as Squilliam!?

SpongeBob: I thought it would make the competition a little juicy.

Squidward: Juicy!?

SpongeBob: Yes Squidward, juicy. J-U-I-C-Y, juicy.

Squidward: That's not what I meant you barnacle brain!

Larry the Lobster: Sorry to interupt, but what's the first competition?

SpongeBob:Good question Larry! The first competition is a scavenger hunt.

[Everyone looks releived]

SpongeBob: In which you will have to make life threatning decisions.

[Everyone gasps]

Mrs. Puff: We're risking our lives for money?

Mr. Krabs: Not just money! We're talking about one million smackaroos!

SpongeBob: Everyone calm down. The possibilities of not coming back from this competition are just twenty-five in one-hundred. Anyway, each team will be given one clue that will lead them to the next part of the scavenger hunt. The first team to complete the scavenger hunt will be granted invincibility from tonights elimination ceremony.

Flying Dutchman: When do we start?

SpongeBob: Don't you mean, when do we start?

SpongeBob: I'm sure you did. [Sarcasticlly]

Flying Dutchman: Grr!

SpongeBob: If you all just calm down I'll give you your first clue.

[Everyone listens closely]

SpongeBob: Your first clue is, "What creature has four legs, but never walks on them?"

Squilliam: I know the answer!

Barnacle Boy: Well spit it out!

Squilliam: The answer is a Jellyfish! Wait a minute! Are you even on our team?

Gary: Meow?

Man Ray: [Catches Jellyfish] I got one!

Plankton: Yeah, yeah, good for you. Read the next clue!

Man Ray: What's the magic word?

Plankton: [Sighs] Please.

Sandy: Well, what's it say?

Man Ray: It says, "The contestant holding this clue must spend 30 seconds inside a Jellyfish hive, where you will find your next clue." Piece of cake.

French Narrator: 30 seconds later...

Man Ray: I want my mommy! [Exits the hive in fear]

Sandy: Did you get the next clue?

Man Ray: Clue? What clue?

Sandy: The one you were supposed to get while you were in the hive.

Man Ray: I'll be right back.

French Narrator: Another 30 seconds later...

Sandy: Did you get it this time?

Man Ray: It's not like I would forget it again.

Sandy: Where is it then?

Man Ray: Hold on another 30 seconds.

French Narrator: Yet another 30 seconds later...

Man Ray: Yes, I remembered it this time! It says, "What do you wear on your hand that is bigger than a galaxy?"

Pearl: That doesn't make any sense!

Karen: Or maybe it does! You wear a glove on your hand, and a universe is bigger than a galaxy! The answer is Glove Universe!

Setting: Glove Universe

Pearl: What now?

Fred: [Falls from the sky] Here's your next clue. (Hands paper to Sandy)

Sandy: "The contestant standing to the left of the person holding this clue must ride the Glove Drop, where you will find your next clue."

Man Ray: [Observes that he is standing to the left of Sandy] Not again! [Rides the Glove Drop]

Sandy: Did you get the next clue?

Man Ray: Yes, I got your precious clue! It says, "Where do you go to swim in something slimey?"

Mr. Krabs: Huh?

Sandy: Wait a minute! You swim in a lagoon, and goo is slimey, so the answer is Goo Lagoon!

Setting: Goo Lagoon
