Gameplay

Usually, two or three teams of contestants compete in several turn-based and head-to-head challenges. The only episode done without a competitive team base was the first episode ever made, which was simply centered around the stereotypical antics of college girls. Even though this was the first episode made, it was the seventh episode of season one to air. Most other competitive teams do not truly have a real-life rivalry (e.g., Season 1, Episode 2 "Donors vs Addicts"), while others such as Democrats vs Republicans vs Third Party do. The contestants compete in a variety of challenges, usually four per episode, but occasionally as many as six. Captain Tenneal usually starts off each challenge by blowing his whistle and shouting "GET IT ON!" accompanied by waiving a baton. The challenges are extremely hard, and a majority of the contestants fail to complete the challenges. If a challenge involves either water or mud, Kenny and Vic will give said substance various names, notably "septic sludge" with Kenny usually giving it a more specific name (e.g. "runoff from a local chili cookoff"). Throughout the show, painful failures to complete challenges are reviewed by Vic and Kenny in the "MXC Impact Replay", which is essentially a sports-themed playback feature. Occasionally, the Impact Replay is used for Kenny's pleasure, in looking at the female contestants, items, or random events in the series which he finds funny or disappointing. Contestants who do complete a challenge earn one or two points for their team (maybe even more). The team with the most points at the end of the episode wins the competition. At the end of each episode, Kenny counts down the ten "Most Painful Eliminations of the Day", which usually focus on the events shown in the Impact Replay, but sometimes includes random events that involved the main or recurring characters. This was an overdub of the Japanese version.
