The deal

'Archipel Arena!': that was the name of the show. It was going to consist of twelve episodes, each taking place on a different island. The contestants would be followed in their daily life, and during the multiple contests that formed the heart of the show.
An unoriginal, boring formula, but the female contestants all looked stunning, so Steve would watch it anyway, taping it and skipping the parts about the male challenges, and not knowing that things would get a whole lot more interesting in two weeks.

It happened at the end of episode five. As always, the teams had to take the twenty minute overseas trip to the next island. Steve watched it from the corner of his eyes, already ready to turn the TV off, as it happened. Although at the moment, the guys were prominently on screen, the real action was taking place way behind them, on the water horizon. He couldn't make out what was happening, but there was some frantic action going on for sure!

Two seconds later, a shot from above, focusing on the women, and the total disarray: their raft had capsized! All the girls were in the water, splashing around, trying to get the raft, which was kind of upright in the water at the moment back down again.

Oh man! Steve was glued to the screen! All of those wet shirts and tights, revealing all kinds of stuff. And their total despair, and the physical hardship, the struggling, it was... beautiful! Little did he know though that this would be the overture for much more excitement.
